ITEM 6.INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act empowers a
Florida corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any
proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
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 an appeal thereof, if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. A Florida corporation may indemnify such person
against expenses including 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 by such person in
connection with actions brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure
a judgment in its favor under the same conditions set forth above, if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and to the extent the court in which such action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, in
view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
To the extent such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action referred to above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person
against expenses, including counsel (including those for appeal) fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in, or granted pursuant
to, Section 607.0850 is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of
incorporation of the Company or any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise. Section 607.0850 also provides that a
corporation may maintain insurance against liabilities for which indemnification
is not expressly provided by the statute.
Article VII of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
ByLaws provides for indemnification of the directors, officers, employees and
agents of the Company (including advancement of expenses) to the fullest extent
permitted under Florida law. In addition, the Company has contractually agreed
to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under
Florida law.

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 of 1933 (the "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; and
(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 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and each
filing of the 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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.
