<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(i)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>Cano&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;),
in accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (&#147;Delaware Code&#148;), provides that no director of Cano will be
personally liable to Cano or any of its stockholders or to other security
holders for monetary damages arising from the director&#146;s breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.&#160; However, this does
not apply with respect to liability for monetary damages for (i) any breach of
his duty of loyalty to Cano or its stockholders or to other security holders;
(ii) acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law by such director;
(iii) acts by such director as specified by the Delaware Code; or (iv)&nbsp;any
transaction for which such director derived an improper personal benefit.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bylaws of Cano (&#147;Bylaws&#148;) provide that Cano shall indemnify its
directors or officers, former directors or officers, or any person who may have
served at its request as a director or officer of another corporation in which
Cano owns shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor and the personal
representatives of all such persons, against expenses actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in
which they, or any of them, were made parties, or a party, by reason of being
or having been directors or officers or a director or officer of Cano, or of
such other corporation, except in relation to matters as to which any such
director or officer or person shall have been adjudged in such action, suit, or
proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of any
duty owned to the Corporation.&#160; Such
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled, independently of the Bylaws, by law, under
any Bylaw agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware Code.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware Code, Cano has
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of Cano) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of Cano, or is or was serving at
the request of Cano as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such action, suit, or proceeding, <i>provided</i>,
<i>however</i>, that Cano shall
indemnify any such person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding
stated above and initiated by such person only if such action, suit or
proceeding was authorized by Cano&#146;s board of directors.&#160; The power to indemnify applies only if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the
best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of Cano and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or
in the right of Cano to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against such
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted under similar
standards, except that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the
event of any adjudication of liability unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To the extent a present or former director or officer of
Cano has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The statute further specifically
provides that the indemnification authorized thereby shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any such officer or director may be
entitled under any bylaws, agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling Cano pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Cano has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(ii)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;">&#160;&#160; </font>Cano has purchased

the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

Item 4.  Description of
Securities.
Not applicable.
Item
5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
(i)
Cano's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"),
in accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware ("Delaware Code"), provides that no director of Cano will be
personally liable to Cano or any of its stockholders or to other security
holders for monetary damages arising from the director's breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.  However, this does
not apply with respect to liability for monetary damages for (i) any breach of
his duty of loyalty to Cano or its stockholders or to other security holders;
(ii) acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law by such director;
(iii) acts by such director as specified by the Delaware Code; or (iv) any
transaction for which such director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Bylaws of Cano ("Bylaws") provide that Cano shall indemnify its
directors or officers, former directors or officers, or any person who may have
served at its request as a director or officer of another corporation in which
Cano owns shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor and the personal
representatives of all such persons, against expenses actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in
which they, or any of them, were made parties, or a party, by reason of being
or having been directors or officers or a director or officer of Cano, or of
such other corporation, except in relation to matters as to which any such
director or officer or person shall have been adjudged in such action, suit, or
proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of any
duty owned to the Corporation.  Such
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled, independently of the Bylaws, by law, under
any Bylaw agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware Code.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware Code, Cano has
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of Cano) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of Cano, or is or was serving at
the request of Cano as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such action, suit, or proceeding,
provided
,
however
, that Cano shall
indemnify any such person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding
stated above and initiated by such person only if such action, suit or
proceeding was authorized by Cano's board of directors.  The power to indemnify applies only if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the
best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of Cano and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or
in the right of Cano to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against such
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted under similar
standards, except that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the
event of any adjudication of liability unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification.
To the extent a present or former director or officer of
Cano has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
The statute further specifically
provides that the indemnification authorized thereby shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any such officer or director may be
entitled under any bylaws, agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling Cano pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Cano has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
(ii)
Cano has purchased
a directors & officers insurance policy on behalf of its directors.

Item
9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in
which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
II-
3
(2)
That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by
means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
