material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be
necessary to amend the Offering Registration Statement or supplement
either of the Offering Prospectuses to comply with the Act or the rules

Representatives may reasonably request; provided, that, without limiting
the foregoing, the Company will furnish to each U.S. Underwriter such
number of copies of the Offering U.S. Prospectus as the U.S.
Representatives shall request for purposes of confirming orders for the
U.S. Securities, which copies shall be delivered to the U.S. Underwriters
by (i) if the public offering price is determined after 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the date of determination of the public offering price,

affiliate of the Company), directly or indirectly, or announce the
offering of, any other shares of Common Stock or any securities or options
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Common
Stock (other than the Notes); provided, however, that the Company may
grant options and may issue and sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any employee stock option plan, stock ownership plan or dividend
reinvestment plan of the Company that was approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company prior to the Execution Time and the Company may
issue shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of securities or
the exercise of warrants outstanding at the Execution Time.

the date the Offering Registration Statement becomes or has become
effective with the Commission or with the Florida Department of Banking
and Finance (the "Department"), whichever date is later, or if the
information reported in the Offering Prospectuses, if any, concerning the
Company's business with Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in
Cuba changes in any material way, the Company will provide the Department
notice of such business or change, as appropriate, in a form acceptable to

alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of any U.S. Underwriter through the U.S. Representatives
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity
32
33
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or Xx. Xxxxx X.
Xxx xxx otherwise have.
(b) Each U.S. Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Offering Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx to
each U.S. Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating
to such U.S. Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such U.S.
Underwriter through the U.S. Representatives specifically for inclusion in the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which any U.S. Underwriter may otherwise have.
The Company and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx acknowledge that the statements set forth in
the last paragraph of the front cover page, the last paragraph of the inside
front cover page and, under the heading "Underwriting", the paragraphs in the
Offering Registration Statement, any Offering Preliminary Prospectus and the
Offering Prospectuses and any amendment or supplement thereto constitute the
only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several U.S.
Underwriters for inclusion in any Offering Preliminary Prospectus or the
Offering Prospectuses and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless
and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure
results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from
any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall
be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the
indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action
for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified
party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to
represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have
the right to employ one separate counsel (and one local counsel), and the
indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such
separate (and local) counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall
33
34
authorize the indemnified party in writing to employ separate (and local)
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party for any reason, the Company and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx, jointly and
severally, and the U.S. Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively "Losses") to which the Company, Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx and one or more
of the U.S. Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx on
the one hand and by the U.S. Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
U.S. Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any U.S. Underwriter
(except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the
offering of the U.S. Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the
underwriting discount or commission applicable to the U.S. Securities purchased
by such U.S. Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and
Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx, jointly and severally, and the U.S. Underwriters shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Xx. Xxxxx X.
Xxx on the one hand and of the U.S. Underwriters on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and Xx.
Xxxxx X. Xxx shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, and benefits received by
the U.S. Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the
Offering U.S. Prospectus. Benefits received by the Independent Underwriter in
its capacity as "qualified independent underwriter" shall be deemed to be equal
to the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such
capacity. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
provided by the Company or Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx on the one hand or by the U.S.
Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue statement or omission. The Company, Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx and the U.S.
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were
determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who
controls a U.S. Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act and each
34
35
director, officer, employee and agent of a U.S. Underwriter shall have the same
rights to contribution as such U.S. Underwriter, and each person who controls
the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Offering Registration Statement
and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as
the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).
(e) The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling
Stockholder's representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and
under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8
shall be limited to an amount equal to the initial public offering price of the
U.S. Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder to the U.S. Underwriters, less the
underwriting discounts and commissions paid thereon to the U.S. Underwriters.
The Company and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and
without limiting the rights of the U.S. Underwriters under this Agreement, as to
the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be
responsible.
(f) The Company and Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxx shall not have any liability
under this Section 8 with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of a U.S. Underwriter if copies of the Offering U.S. Prospectus, as then amended
or supplemented, were furnished by the Company to the U.S. Underwriters as
required by this Agreement, and such copies of the Offering U.S. Prospectus were
not sent or given by or on behalf of such U.S. Underwriter, as required by law,
to the purchasers of the U.S. Securities and if the Offering U.S. Prospectus, as
so amended or supplemented, would have cured the defect giving rise to such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities.
9. Default by a U.S. Underwriter. If any one or more U.S.
Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the U.S. Shares or U.S.
Notes agreed to be purchased by such U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters
hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the
performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining U.S.
Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the
respective proportions which the amount of U.S. Shares or U.S. Notes, as the
case may be, set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the
aggregate amount of U.S. Shares or U.S. Notes, as the case may be, set forth
opposite the names of all the remaining U.S. Underwriters) the U.S. Shares or
U.S. Notes which the defaulting U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that (x) the aggregate
amount of U.S. Shares which the defaulting U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters
agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of U.S.
Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto or (y) the aggregate principal amount of
U.S. Notes which the defaulting U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of U.S.
Notes set forth in Schedule I hereto, then the remaining U.S. Underwriters shall
have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to
purchase any, of the U.S. Shares or U.S. Notes, as the case may be, and if such
nondefaulting U.S. Underwriters do not purchase all the U.S. Shares or U.S.
Notes, as the case may be, this Agreement will terminate without liability to
any nondefaulting U.S. Underwriter, the Selling Stockholders or the Company. In
the event of a default by any U.S. Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9,
the Closing Date shall be
35
36
postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the U.S.
Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the
Registration Statements and the Prospectuses or in any other documents or
arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve
any defaulting U.S. Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the
Selling Stockholders and any nondefaulting U.S. Underwriter for damages
occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in
the absolute discretion of the U.S. Representatives, by notice given to the
Company prior to delivery of and payment for the U.S. Securities, if prior to
such time (i) trading in the Company's Common Stock shall have been suspended by
the Commission or the Nasdaq National Market or trading in securities generally
on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been
suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such
Exchange or National Market, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared
by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have
occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United
States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis, the effect
of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the
U.S. Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering
or delivery of the U.S. Securities as contemplated in the Offering U.S.
Prospectus.
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of the U.S.
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
U.S. Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers,
directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the U.S. Securities. The provisions of
Sections 7 and 8 and the last sentence of Section 9 hereof shall survive the
termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and
effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the U.S. Representatives, will be
mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the SBI General Counsel (fax no.: (212)

Stockholders, will be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed to Xxxxx X. Xxx (fax no.:
(000) 000-0000) and confirmed to it at the address set forth in Schedule II
hereto.
13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers
and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no
other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
