Business Corporation Act (the &#x201C;Florida Act&#x201D;) authorizes
the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents
under specified circumstances. Under Section 607.0831 of the
Florida Act, a director is not personally liable for monetary
damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement,
vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or
policy unless (1) the director breached or failed to perform his or
her duties as a director and (2) the director&#x2019;s breach of, or
failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (a) a violation of
the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (b) a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either
directly or indirectly, (c) a circumstance under which the
liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of the Florida Act are
applicable, (d) in a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the
right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest
of the corporation, or willful misconduct, or (e) in a proceeding
by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a
shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed
in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting
wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.
A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any
criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that
director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or
failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law;
but does not estop the director from establishing that he or she
had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.</font></div>

agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another

in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed

criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo

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

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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></font></div>

Item 4.  Description
of Securities.
Not
applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Florida
Business Corporation Act (the "Florida Act") authorizes
the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents
under specified circumstances. Under Section 607.0831 of the
Florida Act, a director is not personally liable for monetary
damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement,
vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or
policy unless (1) the director breached or failed to perform his or
her duties as a director and (2) the director's breach of, or
failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (a) a violation of
the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (b) a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either
directly or indirectly, (c) a circumstance under which the
liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of the Florida Act are
applicable, (d) in a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the
right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest
of the corporation, or willful misconduct, or (e) in a proceeding
by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a
shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed
in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting
wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.
A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any
criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that
director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or
failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law;
but does not estop the director from establishing that he or she
had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.
Under Section
607.0850 of the Florida Act, a corporation has power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an
action by, or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding,
including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, has reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful.
In addition, under
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Act, a corporation has the power to
indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee,
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in
settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of
directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to
conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal
thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection
in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the
extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any
other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view
of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper.
Under Section
607.0850 of the Florida Act, the indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the Florida Act
are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further
indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to
action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any
director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final
adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to
act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and
constitute: (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the
director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from
which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper
personal benefit; (c) in the case of a director, a circumstance
under which the above liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of
the Florida Act are applicable; or (d) willful misconduct or a
conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
stockholder.
2
Section 607.0850 of
the Florida Act also provides that a corporation shall have power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise  against any
liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in
any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
the person against such liability under the provisions of Section
607.0850 of the Florida Act.
The
Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent provided,
authorized, permitted or not prohibited by the Florida Act and its
Bylaws, indemnify its directors and officers, from and against any
and all of the expenses or liabilities incurred in defending a
civil or criminal proceeding or other specified matters in the
manner provided in the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation.  The Registrant's Bylaws
also provide for indemnification of the Registrant's
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
for the benefit of its officers and directors.

for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, 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 Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) 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 of
1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
