Not applicable. II-2 Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person has 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances. The Company's Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any legal action against such person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or served at the request of the Company as an officer or director of another entity if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and with respect to any criminal action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision limiting directors' liability under certain circum- stances, which provides that a director is not personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stock- holders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (which deals with willful or negligent payment of unlawful divi- dends or stock redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Statu- tory authority for such provision is contained in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. II-3 Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed. Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits The exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K and this item are included following the Exhibit Index at Page E-1, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Item 9. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to: (1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Regis- tration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and (iii) 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; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-4 (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 Plan. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pur- suant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Ex- change Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of the 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 regis- trant in the successful defense of any action, suit or pro- ceeding) 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 indemnifica- tion by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-5 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sarasota, State of Florida on February 19, 1998.
