ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not applicable.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Registrant is a Florida corporation. The Florida Business
Corporation Act, as amended (the "Florida Act"), provides that, in general, a
business corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a party to any
proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any
appeal thereof, provided certain standards are met, including that such officer
or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and provided, further
that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of
proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the Florida Act provides
that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or
officer of the corporation against expenses and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided that such person acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall
be made in

                                        2

   4



respect of any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable unless a court
of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officers or
directors are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of the
proceedings described above, the Florida Act provides that the corporation is
required to indemnify such officers or directors against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, the Florida Act further
provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not
be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a judgment or other final
adjudication establishes that his actions, or omissions to act, were material to
the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it was unlawful; (ii) a
transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal
benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the
director has voted for or assented to a distribution made in violation of the
Florida Act or the corporation's articles of incorporation; or (iv) 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 shareholder. Article V of the
Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any director,
officer, employee or agent or any former director, officer, employee or agent.

         The Registrant has purchased insurance with respect to, among other
things, any liabilities that may arise under the statutory provisions referred
to above.

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 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.

             (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 herein, 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 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 (see Item 6) 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.
