•

Revised Article I to include the current address of the Company;

•

Revised Article II to make minor clean-up changes that are grammatical in nature;

•

Deleted language in Article III that previously effected a stock split of the Company’s common stock and is therefore no longer operative;

•

Added language in Article III that clarified and confirmed that holders of the Company’s common stock have all voting power (except as set forth elsewhere in the Second Amended and Restated Articles);

•

Added language in Article III that clarified that holders of the Company’s Series N Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of the Company’s common stock as one class, unless otherwise required by law;

•

Deleted Article IV on account of the relevant language being moved to Article III (as described above);

•

Revised Article IV to clarify that directors appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors to fill a vacancy will serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, and if reelected, will then serve for the full term of their class (as required by Florida law);

•

Revised Article V to include the registered office of the Company;

•

Added language in Article VI to confirm that the duration of the Company is perpetual;

•

Revised Article VII to confirm that the Company has the power to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (as permitted by Florida law).
