Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act ("Section 607.0850")
permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a
corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section
607.0850 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a part to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or agent of
the corporation. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may
indemnify against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith
and in a manner the person 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 such person's conduct was
unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, tissue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person
is fairly and reasonable entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court
shall deem proper. Section 607.0850 further provides that to the extent a
director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense or any claim, issue
or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually or reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

No response is required under this item.
Item 8. Exhibits.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See the Exhibit Index at end of this Registration Statement Description
Item 9. Undertakings.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offerings 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;
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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
(c) 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.
(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 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.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors,
officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we
have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by 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, 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 of 1933, as amended, and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
