Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant is a Florida corporation. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, and the Registrant’s Bylaws.

Under Section 607.0852 of the FBCA, a corporation must indemnify an individual who is or was a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (“Proceeding”) to which the individual was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, including those incurred in connection with any appeal) incurred by the individual in connection with the Proceeding. Under Section 607.0851(1) of the FBCA, a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, including those incurred in connection with any appeal) incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding (i) 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, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Under Section 607.0851(4), a corporation may not indemnify a director or an officer in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation except for 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, where 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. Further, under Section 607.0853 of the FBCA, a corporation may, before final disposition of a Proceeding, advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses incurred in connection with the Proceeding if the director or officer delivers to the corporation a signed written undertaking of the director or officer to repay any funds advanced if: (a) the director or officer is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 607.0852 of the FBCA; and (b) it is ultimately determined that the director or officer has not met the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 607.0851 of the FBCA or the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under Section 607.0859 of the FBCA.

Article 8 of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Section 9 of Article VIII of the Registrant’s Bylaws provide that each person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, and each person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant who at the request of the Registrant is serving or has served as an officer, director, partner, joint venturer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Corporation against those expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement which are allowed to be paid or reimbursed by the Registrant under the laws of the State of Florida and which are actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such person may be involved by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of this Registrant or of such other enterprises. Article 8 of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Section 9 of Article VIII of the Registrant’s Bylaws provide that the indemnification provided therein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Registrant to indemnify any other person for any liability to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Registrant’s Bylaws provide that the Registrant may enter into indemnification agreements with members of the Board of Directors and officers which may provide for further or expanded indemnification rights or otherwise modify the rights provided therein.
