<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast by holders of our common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Holders of our common stock may not cumulate their votes in the election of our directors. If a quorum exists, any other action is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless our articles of incorporation or the Florida Business Corporation Act (the &#8220;FBCA&#8221;) requires a greater number of affirmative votes. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available assets, payable in cash, in property or in shares of our common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any amounts due to the holders of preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights. No redemption or sinking fund provisions apply to our common stock. All of our outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Certain rights of holders of common stock are set forth in our bylaws.&nbsp; Without further shareholder action, the board of directors may adopt, amend, repeal or supplement the&nbsp;bylaws, but only to the extent doing so would not conflict with an existing bylaw previously adopted by the shareholders.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors, without shareholder approval, to designate and issue up to 300,000 shares of &#8220;blank check&#8221; preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, and limitations granted to or imposed upon each such series of preferred stock. This authorization is subject to the limitation that, if the stated dividends and amounts payable on liquidation are not paid in full, all the shares of preferred stock will participate ratably in the payment of dividends including accumulations, if any, in accordance with the sum which would be payable on such shares if all dividends were declared and paid in full, and in any distribution of assets, other than by way of dividends, in accordance with the sums, which would be payable on distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. Among other things, the board of directors is authorized (a) to fix the number of shares to be included in any series, (b) to fix the distinctive designation of any particular series, (c) to fix the dividend rate payable per annum in respect of any series and whether such dividend shall be cumulative or noncumulative, (d) to fix the amounts per share which any series is entitled to receive at redemption in case of the voluntary liquidation, distribution or sale of assets, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, (e) to fix the right, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock to convert the same into any other class of shares and the terms and conditions of such conversion, (f) to fix the terms of the sinking fund or purchase account, if any, to be provided for any series, and (g) to fix the voting rights, if any. All shares of preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable. Under our articles of incorporation, our preferred stock will not have any preemptive or similar rights.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Any series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future could have rights that adversely affect the relative voting power of the holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive dividend payments or payments upon liquidation. Any future issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock or even the ability to issue preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of each series of preferred stock, when and if issued in the future will be, fixed by a certificate of designation or articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to the class or series of preferred stock being offered the specific terms of each series of our preferred stock, including the price at which the preferred stock may be purchased, the number of shares of preferred stock offered, and the terms, if any, on which the preferred stock may be convertible into common stock or exchangeable for other securities.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We are subject to several anti-takeover provisions under the FBCA that apply to a public corporation organized under the FBCA, unless the corporation has elected to opt out of those provisions in its articles of incorporation or bylaws. We have not elected to opt out of those provisions. The FBCA prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly-held Florida corporation that are acquired in a &#8220;control share acquisition&#8221; unless (i)&nbsp;the board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii)&nbsp;after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval of the board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation&#8217;s voting shares (exclusive of shares held by officers of the corporation, inside directors, or the acquiring party) approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A &#8220;control share acquisition&#8221; is defined as an acquisition that immediately after the acquisition entitles the acquiring party, directly or indirectly, alone or as a part of a group, to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors within each of the following ranges of voting power: (i)&nbsp;one-fifth or more but less than one-third of all voting power, (ii)&nbsp;one-third or more but less than a majority of all voting power, or (iii)&nbsp;more than a majority of all voting power.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The FBCA also contains an &#8220;affiliated transaction&#8221; provision that prohibits a publicly-held Florida corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an &#8220;interested shareholder&#8221; for a period of three years following the time that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless (i)&nbsp;the transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the person becomes an interested shareholder, (ii)&nbsp; upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting shares of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or (iii)&nbsp;at or subsequent to the time that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, the affiliated transaction is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of shareholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares which are not owned by the interested shareholder.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions, described below, which may involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company. The provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover of the Company that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of its outstanding shares or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of the Company. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights.</p>

Except as provided above, shareholders will not be permitted to call a special meeting or to require our board of directors to call a special meeting. This provision will make it more difficult for shareholders to take action opposed by the board of directors.</p>

We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Our bylaws provide that the number of directors of the Company, which number shall be not less than three nor more than nine, shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors then in office. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, the bylaws provide that directors of the Company may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders. This provision will preclude a shareholder from removing incumbent directors without cause and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by such removal with its own nominees.</p>

These procedures provide that notice of shareholder proposals must be timely given in writing to the Company&#8217;s secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at the Company&#8217;s principal executive offices between 120 and 150 days before the one-year anniversary of the preceding year&#8217;s annual meeting of shareholders. Our bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all shareholders&#8217; notices. These requirements may preclude shareholders from bringing matters before the shareholders at an annual or special meeting.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement will control.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term &#8220;indenture&#8221; to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable, including any supplemental indenture. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the &#8220;Trust Indenture Act&#8221;), as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term &#8220;debenture trustee&#8221; to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or&nbsp;units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued under that indenture, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities must be included in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The following is a summary of the general terms of the subscription rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities that we may offer to shareholders using this prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified entirely by reference to the applicable forms of the subscription agent agreement and subscription certificate for a full understanding of all terms of any series of subscription rights.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security and may or may not be transferable. As part of any subscription rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement under which the underwriters or any other person would purchase any securities that are not purchased in such subscription rights offering. If we issue subscription rights, they will be governed by a separate subscription agent agreement that we will sign with a bank or trust company, as rights agent, that will be named in an applicable prospectus supplement relating to such subscription rights. The rights agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume any obligation to any holders of subscription rights certificates or beneficial owners of subscription rights.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">In general, a subscription right entitles the holder to purchase for cash a specific number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities at a specified exercise price. The rights are normally issued to shareholders as of a specific record date, may be exercised only for a limited period of time and become void following the expiration of such period. In connection with a rights offering to our shareholders, we will distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our shareholders on or about the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering. The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#8217; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. &#8220;Direct participants&#8221; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (&#8220;DTCC&#8221;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly.&nbsp;The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#8217;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#8217; records.&nbsp;Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases.&nbsp;However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities.&nbsp;Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners.&nbsp;Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC&#8217;s partnership nominee, Cede &amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede &amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#8217;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#8217;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Neither DTC nor Cede &amp; Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities.&nbsp;Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date.&nbsp;The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede &amp; Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.&nbsp;If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede &amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#8217;s practice is to credit direct participants&#8217; accounts upon DTC&#8217;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in &#8220;street name.&#8221; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede &amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities.&nbsp;Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the applicable indenture, if any.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form.&nbsp;Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us.&nbsp;Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be printed and delivered.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those securities.&nbsp;However, if:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">This prospectus also relates to the possible resale by the Selling Shareholders of up to 775,000 shares of our common stock that were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Selling Shareholders originally acquired such shares (i) pursuant to one or more employee equity incentive and awards plans (the &#8220;Plans&#8221;), the issuance of such shares pursuant to such Plans having been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-8, or (ii) via a series of private placements as compensation for providing services to the Company or as consideration for the assets or equity of a business acquired by the Company via a merger or acquisition transaction. The Selling Shareholders, which include affiliates of the Company, will not resell any such shares unless and until a corresponding prospectus supplement has been filed under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains identifying and other required information with respect to such shareholders.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares covered by this prospectus, subject, in all cases, to the prior filing of an appropriate prospectus supplement. The Selling Shareholders might not sell any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Because the Selling Shareholders may decide not to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the shares covered by this prospectus and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the shares (other than registration rights agreements benefiting Selling Shareholders who acquired shares via a merger or acquisition transaction), we cannot estimate at this time the number of shares that will ultimately be sold by Selling Shareholders under this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or the number of shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders after completion of a potential offering; however, such information will be included in any applicable prospectus supplement for such offering.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal.&nbsp;The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public.&nbsp;In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the Selling Shareholders, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions.&nbsp;The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent.&nbsp;Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis, and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">If the prospectus supplement so indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. &nbsp;In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately-negotiated transactions.&nbsp;If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.&nbsp;If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock.&nbsp;The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).&nbsp;In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement.&nbsp;Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, while utilizing the Internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Such electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called &#8220;real-time&#8221; basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder&#8217;s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of a debt security, the clearing spread could be indicated as a number of &#8220;basis points&#8221; above an index treasury note. Of course, many other pricing methods can and may also be used.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">As a corporation incorporated in the State of Florida, we are subject to the Florida Business Corporation Act (&#8220;FBCA&#8221;). Section&nbsp;607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy unless (1)&nbsp;the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2)&nbsp;the director&#8217;s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes (a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful (a judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not stop the director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful), (b)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly, (c)&nbsp;a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0834 are applicable, (d)&nbsp;in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful or intentional misconduct; or (e) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Under Section&nbsp;607.0851 of the FBCA (1) except as otherwise provided in Section 607.0851 and in Section 607.0859, and not in limitation of indemnification allowed under Section 607.0858(1), a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (a) the director or officer acted in good faith; (b) the director or officer acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (2) the conduct of a director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director or officer reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of paragraph (1)(b), (3) the termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, by itself, create a presumption that the director or officer did not meet the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 607.0851, (4) unless ordered by a court under Section 607.0854(1)(c), 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.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Under Section&nbsp;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 proceeding to which the individual was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses incurred by the individual in connection with the proceeding.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">In addition, under Section&nbsp;607.0853 of the FBCA, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 607.0851 or 607.0852 described above, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the corporation may, by a provision in the articles of incorporation, bylaws or any agreement, or by shareholder or disinterested directors vote, obligate itself to advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding by an individual who is a party to the proceeding because that individual is or was a director or an officer if the director or officer delivers to the corporation a signed written undertaking of the director or officer to repay any funds advanced.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Under Section&nbsp;607.0858 of the FBCA, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to Section&nbsp;607.0851 and 607.0852 of the FBCA are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, under 607.0859 indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (1)&nbsp;willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests 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 shareholder; (2)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (3)&nbsp;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 (4)&nbsp;in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0834 are applicable. Section 607.0859 also states that a corporation may provide indemnification or advance expenses to a director or officer only as permitted in Sections 607.0850 &#8211; 0859. Our articles of incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the current law.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section&nbsp;607.0857 provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of and for the benefit of an individual who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or who, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the corporation&#8217;s request as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise or entity, against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director or officer, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify or advance expenses to the individual against the same liability under the FBCA. We have secured insurance covering our directors and officers and those of our principal subsidiaries and affiliate companies against certain liabilities.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, proceeding, or appeal thereof, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a &#8220;Proceeding&#8221;), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, employee, or agent of us or is or was serving at the request of us as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (an &#8220;Indemnitee&#8221;), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding. We are required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if the initiation of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that we must indemnify such person in connection with a Proceeding to enforce such persons&#8217; rights under the indemnification provision of our bylaws.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys&#8217; fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Please read &#8220;Item 17. Undertakings&#8221; for more information on the SEC&#8217;s position regarding such indemnification provisions.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 27pt;">With respect to our opinion as to the Common Stock, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance and sale, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock are authorized and available for issuance and that the consideration for the issuance and sale of the Common Stock (or Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or Subscription Rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for, Common Stock) is in an amount that is not less than the par value of the Common Stock. With respect to our opinion as to the Preferred Stock, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance and sale, a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock are authorized, designated and available for issuance and that the consideration for the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock (or Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or Subscription Rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for, Preferred Stock) is in an amount that is not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock. We have also assumed that (i) with respect to Securities issuable upon conversion of any convertible Preferred Stock, such convertible Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; (ii) with respect to any Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or Subscription Rights, such Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or Subscription Rights constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors&#8217; rights generally, and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the &#8220;<u>Enforceability Limitations</u>&#8221;), (iii) with respect to any Debt Securities, the Indenture is and will be a valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations, and (iv) with respect to any Warrants, Units or Subscription Rights, any applicable warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement will be a valid and legally binding obligation of the Warrant Agent, Unit Agent or Rights Agent (each as defined below), respectively, enforceable against such agent in accordance with its respective terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations. In addition, with respect to the opinions regarding enforceability contained in paragraphs (3) through (6) below, certain of the provisions of the Indenture or any applicable warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement might not be enforceable; nevertheless, subject to the Enforceability Limitations, such unenforceability (A) will not render such transaction documents invalid as a whole or (B) substantially interfere with the practical realization of the principal benefits purported to be provided by such transaction documents.</p>
