Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     None.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act provides that a 
director, officer, employee, or other agent of a Florida corporation:

     *  shall be indemnified by the corporation for all expenses of such 
        litigation actually and reasonably incurred when he or she is 
        successful on the merits on any legal proceeding;

     *  may be indemnified by the corporation for liability incurred in 
        connection with such legal proceedings (other than a derivative 
        suit), even if he or she is not successful on the merits, if he or 
        she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in 
        the best interest of the corporation (and in the case of a criminal 
        preceding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that such 
        conduct was unlawful); and

     *  may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative 
        suit (a suit by a shareowner alleging a breach by a director or 
        officer of a duty owed to the corporation) and amounts paid in 
        settlement not to exceed, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, 
        the estimated costs and expenses of litigating the proceeding to 
        conclusion, even if he or she is not successful on the merits, if he 
        or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably 
        believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and the 
        shareowners.  If he or she is adjudged liable in the performance of 
        his or her duties to the corporation, indemnification may be made in 
        accordance with this paragraph unless and only to the extent that a 
        court determines that in view of all of the circumstances, he or she 
        is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses to 
        the extent permitted by such court.  

     The indemnification described in the second and third bullet-points 
above will be made only upon a determination by: 

     *  a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors; 

                                       4


     *  if a quorum of disinterested directors is not obtainable, or even if 
        obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the 
        Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may 
        participate) consisting solely of two or more directors who are not 
        at the time parties to the proceeding; 

     *  independent legal counsel in a written opinion; 

     *  the shareowners (excluding the shares owned by the person seeking 
        indemnification); or 

     *  the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, if 
        indemnification is proper under the circumstances because the 
        applicable standard of conduct has been met.  

     The Board of Directors may authorize the advancement of litigation 
expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by the 
director or officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined 
that he is not entitled to be indemnified for them.

     The Florida Business Corporation Act's statutory scheme of 
indemnification is not exclusive and allows expanded indemnification by 
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareowners or disinterested directors, or 
otherwise if the Articles of Incorporation are amended to permit expanded 
indemnification.  Notwithstanding the expansion of indemnification rights, 
the Florida Business Corporation Act does not permit indemnification for:

     *  acts or omissions that involve a violation of the criminal law, 
        unless the director, officer employee or agent had reasonable cause 
        to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause 
        to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; 

     *  any transaction from which a director, officer or agent derived an 
        improper personal benefit; 

     *  willful misconduct that shows a conscious disregard for the best 
        interest of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the 
        corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by 
        or in the right of a shareowner; or 

     *  approving an improper distribution to shareowners.

     Article X of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation 
obligates us to indemnify our officers and directors, provided the persons to 
be indemnified meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in Section 
607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, for costs and expenses 
actually and reasonably incurred in a legal proceeding.  This includes any 
amount paid in the settlement of such a proceeding, to the fullest extent 
permitted by Florida law.

     Article VII of our Bylaws obligates us to indemnify our officers and 
directors, provided that the persons to be indemnified acted in good faith 
and in a manner the persons 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 their conduct was 
unlawful, for costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with a legal proceeding (other

                                       5


than a derivative suit), including amounts paid in settlement of such a 
proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, and requires 
advancement of such costs and other expenses during pending proceedings.  Our 
Board of Directors has discretionary ability to provide indemnification with 
respect to other persons, such as agents and employees. 

     Article VII of our Bylaws obligates us to indemnify our officers and 
directors, provided that the persons to be indemnified acted in good faith 
and in a manner the persons reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, 
the best interests of the Corporation, for costs and expenses actually and 
reasonably incurred in connection with a derivative suit, including amounts 
paid in settlement of such a proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by 
Florida law, and requires advancement of such costs and other expenses during 
pending proceedings.  No indemnification shall be made in respect of any 
claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to 
be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such claim, 
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the 
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, 
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses 
which such court shall deem proper. Our Board of Directors has discretionary 
ability to provide indemnification with respect to other persons, such as 
agents and employees.

     We maintain director and officer liability insurance policies on behalf 
of any person who is or was a director or officer of us or our subsidiary 
companies providing for insurance against any liability incurred by him or 
her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such.  The 
policies contain various reporting requirements and exclusions.

                                       6

     (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: 

               (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) 
                     of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
                     any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered 
                     (if the total dollar value of securities offered would 
                     not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation 
                     from the low or high end of the estimated maximum 
                     offering range may be reflected in the form of 
                     prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to 
                     Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume 
                     and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in 
                     the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 
                     "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 
                     registration statement; 

               (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 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 15(d) of the 
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by 
               reference in the registration statement. 

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
               Securities Act of 1933, 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.
 
          (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 Securities Act of 1933, each 
          filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) 
          or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where 
          applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report 
          pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 
          that is incorporated by reference in


                                       7



          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 
          Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 
          and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.



                                       8




                                  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 the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this 
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned
