ALICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Dollars in thousands except for share and per share data)

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Alico Inc. (“Alico”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is an agribusiness and land management company. The Company owns approximately 130,400 acres of land in five Florida counties (Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Polk). Our principal lines of business are citrus groves, improved farmland including sugarcane, cattle ranching and conservation, and other operations which includes rock mining.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

The Financial Statements have been presented according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alico Land Development, Inc. (“ALDI”), Alico-Agri, Ltd. (“Alico-Agri”), Alico Plant World, LLC and Alico Fruit Company, LLC (formerly known as Bowen Brothers Fruit Company, LLC) (“Alico Fruit”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on working capital, net income, stockholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon future events. The Company periodically evaluates the estimates. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable.

Seasonality

The Company is primarily engaged in agriculture, which is of a seasonal nature and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. The results of the reported period herein are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

6

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, or the SEC would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

At September 30, 2012, the parcels were included in assets held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet totaling $2,475,000 and a deposit for the parcels of $2,500,000 was included in restricted cash and other current liabilities. On October 3, 2012, the restriction on the $2,500,000 was lifted.

Note 4. Income taxes

Alico’s effective tax rate was 39.0% and 38.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company applies a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and non-recognition of tax positions. A change in judgment related to prior years’ tax positions is recognized in the quarter of such change. The Company had no reserve for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and in income taxes payable.

On May 16, 2012, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS related to its examination of the returns of Alico, Agri-Insurance, Ltd., (a former subsidiary of the Company) and Alico-Agri for the tax years 2005 through 2007. As a result of the settlement, the Company paid Federal taxes of $613,000 and interest of $225,000. On October 9, 2012, the Company paid the State of Florida $318,000 for taxes and $5,000 for interest as a result of the IRS settlement. The Company accrued $149,000 at September 30, 2012, for additional state interest and penalties. The actual amount paid was $135,000 for state interest. No amount was due for state penalties and the remaining accrual was reversed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Collateral		Real estate			Real estate			Real estate

The Company has a credit facility including a revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) and term loan with Rabo AgriFinance, Inc. (“Rabo”) totaling $97,000,000. The revolving line of credit and term note are collateralized by 43,991 acres of farmland and 12,280 acres of additional real property containing approximately 8,600 acres of producing citrus groves.

The $60,000,000 RLOC bears interest at a floating rate payable on the first day of each calendar quarter. The RLOC matures on October 1, 2020. At March 31, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on the RLOC. The Company pays an annual commitment fee on the RLOC equal to 0.15% of the difference between the annual average unpaid balance and the $60,000,000 loan commitment. The commitment fee is payable on February 1 of each year. Commitment fees of approximately $87,000 were paid during February 2013 and $15,000 was accrued at March 31, 2013.

The interest rate on the RLOC is based on the one month LIBOR plus a spread. The spread is determined based upon our debt service coverage ratios for the preceding fiscal year and can vary from 225 to 250 basis points. The rate is currently at Libor plus 225 basis points. On October 1, 2015, Rabo may adjust the interest rate spread to any percentage above one month Libor. Rabo must provide a 30 day notice of the new spreads; at that time, the Company has the right to prepay the outstanding balance.

The term loan requires quarterly payments of interest at a floating rate of one month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. It also requires quarterly principal payments of $500,000 through October 1, 2020, when the remaining principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable.

At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, Alico was in compliance with all of its covenants under the various Rabo loan agreements.

On October 10, 2012, the outstanding mortgage note held by Farm Credit of Florida was paid in full. The payment included $1,794,000 for the principal balance and $66,000 for a prepayment penalty which was included in interest expense on our consolidated statement of operations. The mortgage was collateralized by 7,680 acres of real estate used for farm leases, sugarcane and citrus production. The collateral was released upon satisfaction of the mortgage.

Note 6. Disclosures about reportable segments

Lines of Business

The Company operates five lines of business related to our various land holdings. The lines of business are as follows:

· Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, owning, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves on prepared grove land in order to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets.

· Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Support includes activities related to value-added services which include contracting for harvesting, marketing and hauling and the purchase and resale of fruit.

· Improved Farmland includes activities related to planting, owning, cultivating, managing and/or leasing improved farmland. Improved farmland is acreage that has been recovered from native pasture and which has various improvements including irrigation, drainage and roads.

· Ranch and Conservation includes activities related to cattle grazing and management, sod, native plant and animal sales, leasing, management and/or conservation of unimproved native pasture land.

· Other Operations include activities related to rock and sand mining, oil exploration and other insignificant lines of business.

Segments

The Company is organized into six operating segments which span our five lines of business. The operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately and decisions about allocation of resources are determined by our management team based on these strategic business units. The operating segments are as follows:

· Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves in order to produce fruit for delivery to fresh and processed citrus markets.

· Alico Fruit includes activities related to agricultural value-added services which include contracting for harvesting, hauling and marketing and the purchase and resale of fruit.

· Other Operations consists of insignificant operations that do not otherwise fit within the other five defined operating segments.

9

Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for by the Company as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices. Goods and services produced by these segments are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States which prepare the products for consumption. The Company evaluates the segments performance based on direct margins from operations before general and administrative costs, interest expense and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.  

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Information by business segment is as follows:

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock through November 1, 2013 for the purpose of funding restricted stock grants under its 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan was approved by shareholders on February 20, 2009. The stock repurchases began in November 2008 and were made on a quarterly basis through open market transactions at times and in such amounts as the Company’s broker determines subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 10b-18. Effective April 1, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) which supersedes the 2008 Plan. The 2013 Plan was approved by shareholders at the February 22, 2013 shareholders meeting. Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased and reserved for awards.

The following table provides information relating to purchases of the Company’s common shares on the open market pursuant to the 2008 Plan for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

	Shares			Cost
Balance September 30, 2012	23,235		$	543
Purchases	73,768			2,810
Issuances to Directors	(9,710	)		(221	)
Balance March 31, 2013	87,293		$	3,132

Through March 31, 2013, the Company had purchased 163,376 shares and had available to purchase an additional 186,654 shares in accordance with the 2008 Plan which was superseded by the 2013 Plan on April 1, 2013.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in general and administrative expenses was $174,000 and $315,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, and $125,000 and $246,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation is recorded for the Board of Directors fees paid in treasury stock and the Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan restricted common stock awards.

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Long-Term Incentive Program (the “Program”), as part of the 2008 Plan. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company approved the contingent award of 152,403 shares of common stock to the Named Executive Officers (the “NEOs”) of the Company. On May 26, 2011, 58,610 shares were granted to the NEOs other than the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and on April 19, 2012, 93,793 shares

14

were awarded to the CEO under restricted stock award agreements. The total value of the awards at the grant date were $321,000. The value was determined by application of a valuation model. In addition to the various criteria outlined herein, the model assumed annual volatility of 53.3% and a risk free interest rate of 2.80%.

Performance Criteria:

Either the “Performance Criteria” or “Partial Performance” must be achieved during the five year period following the award date (the “Performance Period”) as well as certain service conditions for the CEO and/or the NEOs to receive the awards. The performance criteria will have been achieved if, at any time during the Performance Period, the average of the closing prices of the common stock over the most recent 20 consecutive trading day period exceeds (i) $46.00 for the CEO and $50.40 for the NEOs (representing 200% of the 20 Day Average Closing Price determined as of the Award Date at any time during the three year period commencing on the award date, or the “base stock price”), or (ii) $49.22 for the CEO and $53.93 for the NEOs (representing 214% of the base stock price) at any time during the one year period commencing on the third anniversary of the award date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the award date, or (iii) $52.44 for CEO and $57.46 for other NEOs (representing 228% of the base stock price) at any time during the one year period commencing on the fourth anniversary of the award date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the award date. If the 20 Day Average Closing Price equals or exceeds 100% of the applicable target average stock price on any day during the Performance Period, the recipients will be awarded, subject to vesting, 100% of the shares. Participants must be must be employed in an executive position through the following dates to receive their stock awards: (i) Fifty Percent (50%) of the Award Level shall immediately vest upon achievement of the Target Average Stock Price (the “Achievement Date”), (ii) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the first anniversary of the Achievement Date, and (iii) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the second anniversary of the Achievement Date.

If the Performance Criteria is not achieved during the Performance Period, but at any time during the Performance Period the 20 Day Average Closing Price exceeds 90% of the applicable target average stock price, then fifty percent (50%) of the common shares will be awarded, subject to vesting, at the end of the Performance Period (“Partial Performance”). Participants must be employed in an executive position through the following dates to receive their stock awards: (i) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period (“Partial Performance Achievement Date” in the case of Partial Performance), (ii) Twelve and One-Half Percent (12.5%) of the Award Level shall vest on the first anniversary of the Partial Performance Achievement Date and (iii) Twelve and One-Half Percent (12.5%) of the Award Level shall vest on the second anniversary of the Partial Performance Achievement Date.

No restricted common stock will be awarded under the Program unless the Performance Criteria or Partial Performance Criteria are achieved during the five year period following the Award Date as specified. Each participant signed an award agreement with the Company setting forth the terms of the award.

On February 8, 2013, the CEO’s restricted common stock award under the Program exceeded 90% of the applicable Target Average Stock Price in accordance with the Partial Performance Criteria. Additionally, on April 3, 2013, the NEO’s stock awards under the Program exceeded 90% of the applicable Target Average Stock Price.

The portion of stock-based compensation expense recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 for these market-based awards was $27,000. The Company used a binomial model to calculate the fair value at the grant date.

In the event of a change in control, reorganization, liquidation or sale of the Company, all shares awarded but unvested will become fully vested provided the recipient remains employed by the Company through such event.

Note 8. Employee Benefits Plans

Management Security Plan

The Management Security Plan (“MSP”) is a nonqualified, noncontributory defined supplemental deferred retirement benefit plan for a select group of management personnel. The MSP provides fixed supplement retirement benefits for 180 months. The MSP is frozen with no new participants being added. The MSP benefit expense and the projected obligation are determined using assumptions at the end of the fiscal year. The MSP currently is unfunded and benefits are paid as they become due. At March 31, 2013, the total balance of the deferred retirement benefits liability was $4,170,000.

The Company has established a “Rabbi Trust” to provide for the funding of accrued benefits under the MSP. According to the terms of the Rabbi Trust, funding is voluntary until a change of control in the Management Security Plan(s) Trust Agreement occurs. Upon a change of control, funding is triggered. As of March 31, 2013, the Rabbi Trust had no assets, and no change of control had occurred.

Note 9. Contingencies

The Company is also involved from time to time in routine legal matters incidental to its business. When appropriate, the Company establishes estimated accruals for litigation matters which meet the requirements of ASC 450— Contingencies. Based upon available information, the Company believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 10. Related Party Transactions

Atlantic Blue Group, Inc.

Atlantic Blue Group, Inc. (“Atlanticblue” or “ABG”) owns approximately 50.6% of Alico’s common stock. By virtue of its ownership percentage, Atlanticblue is able to elect all of the directors and, consequently, control Alico. Directors which also serve on Atlanticblue’s board are referred to as “affiliated directors”. Atlanticblue issued a letter dated December 3, 2009, reaffirming its commitment to maintain a majority of independent directors (which may include affiliated directors) on Alico’s board. To be considered independent under Nasdaq rules a director may not be employed by Alico or engage in certain types of business dealings with Alico. In addition as required by Nasdaq rules, the Board is required to make an affirmative determination that the director has no relationships which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities as a director.

John R. Alexander, a major shareholder in Atlanticblue and a director on the Atlanticblue Board of Directors, retired as the Company’s Chairman of the Board at the February 2013 shareholders meeting. Mr. Alexander’s son, JD Alexander, resigned March 31, 2012 as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlanticblue and did not stand for re-election as a director at the June 2012 Atlanticblue shareholders meeting. In February 2010, JD Alexander was appointed Alico’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and he serves on Alico’s Board of Directors. Robert E. Lee Caswell, John R. Alexander’s son-in-law, served as a director on Alico’s Board of Directors until its February 2013 shareholders meeting; he did not stand for re-election. Robert J. Viguet, Jr., an Alico director, did not stand for re-election as a director of Atlanticblue at its June 2012 shareholders meeting. Dykes Everett was elected to the Alico Board of Directors at the February 2013 shareholders meeting; he was nominated by Atlanticblue where he serves as a director.

Former director Baxter Troutman filed a derivative shareholder suit against John R. Alexander and JD Alexander in which a settlement agreement (“Agreement”) was reached on April 1, 2012. On May 16, 2012 the Circuit Court of the 10^th Judicial Circuit in Polk County, FL approved the Agreement thereby settling the shareholder derivative action complaint. The Company, by determination of the Special Litigation Committee comprised of four independent directors of its Board of Directors, filed a motion seeking recovery of attorney fees and costs incurred in its defense. The Company is reimbursing Messrs.’ Alexander for legal fees used to defend themselves against the suit in accordance with the Board of Directors indemnification agreements. All reimbursements are approved by the Special Committee of the Board Reimbursements for litigation were $6,000 and $7,000 on behalf of John R. Alexander, and $0 and $2,000 on behalf of JD Alexander, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. Reimbursements for litigation were $71,000 and $79,000 on behalf of John R. Alexander, and $69,000 and $182,000 on behalf of JD Alexander, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Citrus revenues of $254,000 and $374,000 were recognized for a portion of citrus crops sold under a marketing agreement with for Griffin the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts due from Griffin of $26,000 and $94,000 at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, particularly in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We own approximately 130,400 acres of landin five Florida counties (Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Polk), and operate five lines of business.

Lines of Business

We operate five lines of business related to our various land holdings.

· Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, owning, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves on prepared grove land in order to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets.

· Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Support includes activities related to value-added services which include contracting for harvesting, marketing and hauling and the purchase and resale of fruit.

· Improved Farmland includes activities related to planting, owning, cultivating, managing and/or leasing improved farmland. Improved farmland is acreage that has been converted from native pasture and has various improvements including irrigation, drainage and roads.

· Ranch and Conservation includes activities related to cattle herd grazing and management, sod, native plant and animal sales, leasing, management and/or conservation of unimproved native pastureland.

· Other Operations include activities related to rock and sand mining, oil exploration, office building leasing and other insignificant lines of business.

Segments

We are organized into six operating segments which span our five lines of business. Our operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately and decisions about allocation of resources are determined by our management team based on these strategic business units. Our operating segments are as follows:

· Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves in order to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets.

· Alico Fruit includes activities related to agricultural value-added services which include contracting for harvesting, hauling and marketing and the purchase and resale of fruit.

· Sugarcane includes activities related to planting, cultivating and/or managing sugarcane fields in order to produce sugarcane for sale to a sugar processor.

· Cattle includes the production of beef cattle for sale.

· Land Leasing and Rentals includes the leasing of land to others on a tenant-at-will basis for grazing, farming, oil and mineral exploration and recreational uses.

· Other Operations consists of insignificant operations that do not otherwise fit within the five defined operating segments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes during this reporting period to the policies and disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this report for recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Events

On January 28, 2013, Atlanticblue, the holder of 50.6% of Alico’s common stock, informed Alico of its intention, in light of recent changes in the tax code relating to the sale of certain assets by “subchapter S corporations” such as Atlanticblue, to explore the potential sale of substantially all of its assets during the 2013 calendar year and, in connection therewith, to actively pursue the sale of its entire equity position in Alico to a strategic or financial buyer.

The Board of Directors of Alico has formed a Special Committee comprised of its independent Directors to explore working cooperatively with Atlanticblue, to investigate all transaction possibilities and to protect the interests of all shareholders. The Special Committee has engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to act as its financial advisors and Greenberg Traurig, P.A. to act as its legal counsel to assist and advise the Special Committee with respect to pursuing potential strategic and financial transaction alternatives, including merger, business combination and sale transaction involving Alico. The Special Committee intends to work with its independent financial and legal advisors to identify and evaluate all available strategic and financial alternatives to maximize shareholder value and that are in the best interests of Alico and its shareholders. Atlanticblue has informed Alico that it intends to work cooperatively with the Special Committee with respect to this process

Gross profit decreased by $7,224,000 or 50.8% and $8,952,000 or 45.4% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three and six months ended March 13, 2012, respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in the Citrus Groves segment. See Segment Results below for further discussion of our revenues and expenses from operations.

Operating revenue and gross profit of our Citrus Groves and Alico Fruit segments were negatively impacted by a combination of lower citrus prices and a smaller overall citrus crop. The smaller citrus crop is being driven primarily by higher than average premature fruit drop. Several factors may have caused the early drop, including drought, unfavorable weather conditions during the crops growing cycle and Citrus Greening. Citrus Greening is a bacterial disease that decreases the productivity of infected trees and causes fruit to drop early. The disease, which was first introduced into Florida in 2005, is spread by Asian Citrus Psyllids.

This harvest season’s statewide environmental and horticultural factors have negatively impacted our crops, therefore, we expect the total number of boxes produced by our Citrus Groves segment and handled through Alico Fruit to decrease over the prior harvest season. The USDA, in its April 10, 2013 Citrus Forecast, indicated that it expects the Florida orange crop to decline by 8,700,000 boxes or approximately 6% versus the prior year. In each of its last five monthly estimates, the USDA has revised its estimate of the 2012/2013 Florida orange crop downward. Over the course of these revisions, the USDA has decreased its 2012/2013 Florida Orange crop estimate a total of 10%.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $657,000 or 36.4% and $475,000 or 12.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the expenses incurred by the Special Committee of our Board of Directors pursuing strategic and financial, alternatives, which totaled approximately $628,000 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, partially offset by decreases in professional fees as a result of the IRS settlement and the settlement of shareholder derivative action complaint.

No expenses were incurred for the IRS audit appeals process in fiscal year 2013. Legal fees of $7,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, were incurred by the Special Litigation Committee in their efforts to recover costs from the shareholder derivative action complaint which was settled on April 1, 2012. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, $175, 000 and $280,000 in legal fees were incurred as result of the IRS audit and appeals process, respectively, and $186,000 and $386,000 in legal fees were incurred in defense of the shareholder derivative action complaint, respectively.

Interest and investment income, net

Interest and investment income results primarily from our investment in Magnolia TC 2, LLC (“Magnolia”) and interest bearing bank accounts. Interest and investment income increased by $341,000 or 516.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared with the same period in 2012, and $319,000 or 759.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest and investment income was due to our investment in Magnolia.

In May 2010, we invested $12,150,000 to obtain a 39% limited partner equity interest in Magnolia. Alico is accounting for the investment in Magnolia in accordance with the equity method of accounting in which we record our 39% interest in the reported income or loss of Magnolia each quarter. We recorded net investment income of $245,000 and $324,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a net investment loss of $87,000 and net investment income of $10,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $156,000 or 33.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, interest expense decreased by $258,000 or 27.6% as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the reduction of our outstanding debt and the payoff of the $1,794,000 Farm Credit of Florida mortgage note in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and, to a lesser extent, to a decrease in the average interest rates quarter-over-quarter. The decrease was partially offset by the pre-payment penalty incurred on the Farm Credit of Florida mortgage note of $66,000 which was included in interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

19

The weighted average interest rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, was 2.70% and 2.72%, respectively, as compared to 2.90% and 2.93% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

We lease land to others on a tenant-at-will basis for grazing, farming, oil exploration and recreational uses. Revenues from land rentals were $621,000 and $625,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of 0.7%. Gross profits increased by 18.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2012, due to reductions in certain property taxes. Revenues from land rentals were $1,168,000 and $1,256,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of $88,000 or 7.0%. Gross profits decreased by $40,000 or 5.4% for the six months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2012. The decrease in revenue and gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2013 were due to the non-renewal of a farmland lease by one of our tenants during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We are currently pursuing additional leases for our improved farm land.

Other

Other operations include sod production, the sale of native plants to local landscaping companies, mining royalties and real estate. The sales of sod, native plants and mining royalties are not significant to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

N/M –Not meaningful

We believe that our current cash position, revolving credit facility and the cash we expect to generate from operating activities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We have a $60,000,000 revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) which was available for our general use at March 31, 2013. See Item 1. Financial Statement, Note 5. Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to capital expenditures of $12,973,000, paying off the principal balance of the Farm Credit of Florida (“Farm Credit”) note payable of $1,966,000, which included a $66,000 pre-payment penalty and the purchase of treasury shares of $2,809,000, partially offset by cash provided from our operations.

Our credit facility with Rabobank includes a 10 year $37,000,000 term note bearing interest at one month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, payable quarterly. Quarterly principal payments of $500,000 are due through July 2020 with a balloon payment equal to the remaining unpaid principal and interest due in October 2020. The $60,000,000 RLOC has a 10 year term. The interest rate spread over LIBOR is subject to an annual adjustment pursuant to a pricing grid based on our debt service coverage ratio for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The spreads may range from 225 to 275 basis points over monthly LIBOR. The rate remained at Libor plus 225 basis points at January 1, 2013, due to the favorable debt service coverage ratio in fiscal year 2012. On October 1, 2015, Rabobank may adjust the interest rate spread to any percentage. Rabobank must provide a 30 day notice of the new spreads, and we have the right to prepay the outstanding balance without penalty.

On September 6, 2012, we reached an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture, through its administering agency, The Natural Resources Conservation Service, to sell a conservation easement on approximately 11,600 acres of property located in Hendry County, Florida for approximately $20,700,000. We expect to recognize a $19,500,000 gain which will be treated as a capital gain for tax purposes and may be used against our $48,500,000 capital loss carryforward from the sale of our Lee County, Florida properties which closed on July 25, 2012 and October 3, 2012. We expect to finalize the sale of the easement in fiscal year 2013. The easement agreement provides for the property to be enrolled in perpetuity in the Wetlands Reserve Program. The Wetlands Program is designed to restore, protect and enhance the values of the wetland and for the conservation of natural resources.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $6,942,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, which compared unfavorably to cash provided by operating activities of $13,600,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The change in cash provided by operating activities was due to changes in our working capital accounts, primarily accounts receivables, accounts payables and accrued expenses. Net income decreased by $5,536,000 which was unfavorable to cash flows provided by operating activities. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year coinciding with our planting and harvest cycles. Cash flows from operating activities typically improve in our second and third fiscal quarters as we harvest our crops.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $10,166,000 and $5,247,000, respectively. The use of cash in investing activities is primarily due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $12,973,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2013, which included $4,581,000 for completing the expansion of approximately 4,000 acres into improved farmland for sugarcane, $3,064,000 for replanting sugarcane to be harvested in fiscal year 2014, $3,032,000 for the purchase of cattle, $1,113,000 for citrus, and approximately $1,183,000 for other capital expenditures. We received net cash proceeds of $2,394,000 for the sale of properties in Lee County, Florida on October 3, 2012 and $400,000 from certain other land sales and disposals.

Capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal year 2012 were $7,901,000, which included $4,500,000 for the expansion of our sugarcane operations of which $2,900,000 was attributable to planting an additional 5,200 acres of sugarcane to be harvested in fiscal year 2013, $500,000 for sugarcane equipment purchases, $1,100,000 for land improvements, $700,000 for cattle, and $2,700,000 for certain other capital expenditures. The use of cash in investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2012 was partially offset by the return on investment in Magnolia for $1,300,000.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $6,591,000 and $8,921,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was a result of purchasing treasury shares totaling $2,810,000, paying off the outstanding balance of the Farm Credit note payable of $1,900,000 and the principal payment of $1,000,000 on our Rabobank term loan. Additionally, we paid cash for dividends of $881,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2013. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, we used cash to make net repayments on outstanding debt of $7,458,000, pay cash dividends of $1,175,000 and repurchase treasury shares totaling $288,000.

We purchased 35,221 and 73,768 shares on the open market at an average price of $39.69 and $38.08 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013. We purchased 12,026 shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $23.95 during the six months ended March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, 186,654 shares were available for acquisition in accordance with our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

Purchase Commitments

Alico, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alico Fruit, enters into contracts for the purchase of citrus fruit during the normal course of its business. The remaining obligations under these purchase agreements totaled approximately $19,030,000 at March 31, 2013 for delivery in fiscal years 2013 through 2016. All of these obligations are covered by sales agreements totaling $19,030,000. Alico’s management currently believes that all committed purchase quantities will be sold at cost or higher.

EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

Change in Control Agreement

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of March _____, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and between JD ALEXANDER (the “Employee”) and ALICO, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”).

Recitals:

WHEREAS, the Employee is a key employee of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide the Employee with certain additional compensation and benefits in the event that a Change in Control (as defined herein) of the Company occurs.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and obligations set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Certain terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A attached hereto.

Section 2. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will continue in effect until December 31, 2014; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2015, and each January 1 thereafter, the term of this Agreement will automatically be extended for one (1) additional year beyond the expiration date otherwise then in effect, unless at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to any such January 1, the Company or the Employee provides the other notice that this Agreement will not be extended; and, provided, further, that this Agreement will continue in effect beyond the termination date then in effect for a period of eighteen (18) calendar months following a Change in Control if a Change in Control has occurred during such term.

Section 3. Change in Control Termination.

(a) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or Disability), in each case within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, and subject to the Employee’s execution of a release in the form attached hereto as Appendix B (“Release”) which becomes effective within thirty (30) calendar days following the Termination Date, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any other compensation or benefits to which the Employee may otherwise be entitled, aggregate payments equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) the Employee’s Base Salary for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (or if greater, the year immediately preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs), and (B) the average amount of cash compensation, other than Base Salary, that was earned by the Employee with respect to the three (3) fiscal years (or such fewer number of fiscal years that the Employee was employed by the Company) prior to the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, which amount shall be payable in twenty-four (24) monthly installments with the first installment to be paid within thirty (30) calendar days following the Termination Date.

(b) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or Disability),

this shall be communicated by written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14. The Notice of Termination shall specify:

(i) the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason, if the Notice of Termination is given by the Employee; and

(ii) the applicable Termination Date.

Section 4. No Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide the Employee with any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the Employee’s rights or the rights of the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

Section 5. Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Fort Myers, Florida.

Section 6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement, for all purposes, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Florida without regard to conflicts of law principles. Subject to Section 5, any action or proceeding by either of the parties to enforce this Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the state of Florida, County of Lee. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in such venue.

Section 7. Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, claim, or misrepresentation arising out of or in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitration expenses, court costs, and other expenses, whether at trial, upon appeal, or during investigation by such prevailing party in prosecuting or defending such arbitration, legal action or other proceeding. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in establishing or quantifying the amount of attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses due to it. The costs and expenses to which the prevailing party shall be entitled pursuant to this Agreement are not limited to taxable costs and shall include, but not be limited to, costs of experts and investigation; costs of copying documents and other materials (whether for discovery, trial, or any other purpose); costs for electronic discovery; Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, and other electronic research service charges; telephone charges; mailing, commercial delivery service, and courier charges; travel expenses (whether for investigation, depositions, hearings, trial, or any other purpose); information technology support charges; any and all consultant or expert witness fees (whether or not the consultant or expert witness prepares a court-ordered report or testifies at a deposition, hearing, or trial); and any other costs or expenses incurred in any legal action or other proceeding as described in this paragraph. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any obligation for any party to advance fees to another party prior to the conclusion of any proceedings.

2

Section 8. Entire Agreement. Unless specifically provided herein, this Agreement contains all of the understandings and representations between the Employee and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. The parties mutually agree that the Agreement can be specifically enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the cash severance agreement referenced in the Offer Letter between the Company and the Employee dated March 13, 2012. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) modify the terms of any outstanding awards or benefits to Employee under the 2008 Incentive Equity Plan or the 2013 Incentive Equity Plan, the Company’s MSP Plan or any Restricted Stock Award Agreement between Employee and the Company, or (ii) release any of Employee’s rights to indemnification under any indemnification agreement between Employee and the Company or under the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company or under Section 607.0850, Florida Statutes, or any of Employee’s rights to advances or reimbursement under any directors’ and officers’ liability policies maintained by the Company.

Section 9. Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by the Chairman of the Board of the Company. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

Section 10. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree that any such court is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had not been set forth herein.

Section 11. Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any Section or paragraph.

Section 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

3

Section 13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Employee and shall not be assigned by the Employee. Any purported assignment by the Employee shall be null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and permitted successors and assigns.

(a) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or Disability), in each case within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, and subject to the Employee’s execution of a release in the form attached hereto as Appendix B (“Release”) which becomes effective within thirty (30) calendar days following the Termination Date, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any other compensation or benefits to which the Employee may otherwise be entitled, aggregate payments equal to the sum of (A) the Employee’s Base Salary for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (or if greater, the year immediately preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs), and (B) the average amount of cash compensation, other than Base Salary, that was earned by the Employee with respect to the three (3) fiscal years (or such fewer number of fiscal years that the Employee was employed by the Company) prior to the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, which amount shall be payable in twelve (12) monthly installments with the first installment to be paid within thirty (30) calendar days following the Termination Date.

(b) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or Disability),

this shall be communicated by written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14. The Notice of Termination shall specify:

(i) the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason, if the Notice of Termination is given by the Employee; and

(ii) the applicable Termination Date.

Section 4. No Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide the Employee with any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the Employee’s rights or the rights of the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

Section 10. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11. Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any Section or paragraph.

(b) If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or Disability),

this shall be communicated by written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14. The Notice of Termination shall specify:

(i) the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason, if the Notice of Termination is given by the Employee; and

(ii) the applicable Termination Date.

Section 4. No Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide the Employee with any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the Employee’s rights or the rights of the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in such venue.

Section 7. Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, claim, or misrepresentation arising out of or in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitration expenses, court costs, and other expenses, whether at trial, upon appeal, or during investigation by such prevailing party in prosecuting or defending such arbitration, legal action or other proceeding.

Section 8. Entire Agreement. Unless specifically provided herein, this Agreement contains all of the understandings and representations between the Employee and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. The parties mutually agree that the Agreement can be specifically enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) modify the terms of any outstanding awards or benefits to Employee under the 2008 Incentive Equity Plan or the 2013 Incentive Equity Plan, the Company’s MSP Plan or any Restricted Stock Award Agreement between Employee and the Company, or (ii) release any of Employee’s rights to indemnification under any indemnification agreement between Employee and the Company or under the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company or under Section 607.0850, Florida Statutes, or any of Employee’s rights to advances or reimbursement under any directors’ and officers’ liability policies maintained by the Company.

Section 10. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree that any such court is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had not been set forth herein.

Section 11. Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any Section or paragraph.

Exhibit 10.5

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of __________, 2013, by and between ALICO, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and __________ (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as officers or directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and/or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

WHEREAS, although Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”), the FBCA expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplates that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee believes that this Agreement is desirable to augment the protection available under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws and insurance, and may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without the additional protection provided for under this Agreement, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity and Indemnitee is willing to serve and continue to serve on the condition that he be so indemnified;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve, at the will of the Company in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, as a director or officer of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation.

2.Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a)A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events:

(i)Acquisition of Stock by Third Party. Any Person (as defined below) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined below), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

(ii)Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(a)(i), 2(a)(iii) or 2(a)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a least a majority of the members of the Board;

(iii)Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 51% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;

(iv)Liquidation. The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and

(v)Other Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act (as defined below), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

(h)“Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

3.Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee

4

shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

4.Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

5.Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

6.Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

7.Additional Indemnification.

(a)Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses,

5

judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

(b)For purposes of Sections 7(a) and 9, the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” shall include, but not be limited to:

(i)to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the FBCA that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the FBCA, and

(ii)to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the FBCA adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.

8.Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a)for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or under another valid and enforceable indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision and except for any payments which are required to be disgorged by Indemnitee; or

(b)for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of other federal or state statutory law or common law or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); or

(c)in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company’s directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by applicable law, (ii) the Board of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

9.Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall advance the

6

expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances solely upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 9 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8.

10.Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a)Within thirty (30) days after service of process of Indemnitee relating to notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request for indemnification, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The omission to notify the Company within such thirty (30) day period will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement except to the extent the failure of Indemnitee to provide such notice within thirty (30) days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding adversely affects the Company’s rights, legal position, ability to defend or ability to obtain insurance coverage with respect to such Proceeding. The omission to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b)If the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Proceeding (with counsel consented to by the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, consent to such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that if (i) the employment of separate counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee or counsel selected by the Company shall have concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee or among Indemnitees jointly represented in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel, to which Indemnitee has consented as aforesaid, to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such Proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense.

(c)The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense. The Company will not, without prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of a claim against the Indemnitee in any threatened or pending Proceeding unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are or were threatened to be made against the Indemnitee in the Proceeding.

11.Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a)Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in accordance with this Section 11(a). Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10(a), if a determination is not required by applicable law, the Company shall provide the requested determination in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If (i) a Change of Control shall have occurred, or (ii) Indemnitee shall have delivered to the Company a written election to rely on the determination of Independent Counsel, then such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion of the Board and a copy of such written opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee; provided, however, that, if one or more Persons other than Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification from the Company under any other indemnification or similar agreement or other instrument in connection with the Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee shall have requested indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), such other Person or at least fifty percent (50%) of such other Persons, as applicable, shall also have elected to rely on the determination of Independent Counsel in accordance with the indemnification or similar agreement or other instrument applicable to each such other Person’s indemnification claim or shall otherwise have agreed in writing to be bound by any such determination. In any other case, such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (iii) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (iv) if so directed by the Board, by the shareholders of the Company. If, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(a), it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or

8

entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. As provided in Section 13(a) and 13(b), nothing in this Agreement, including any findings of Independent Counsel made pursuant to this Section 11, shall be deemed to limit or otherwise adversely impact the right of Indemnitee to commence any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13. Further, any determination made pursuant to this Section 11 shall not bind Indemnitee or prejudice Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification as finally determined by a judicial proceeding or arbitration.

(b)In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

12.Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a)In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has

9

submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its Board or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its Board or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b)If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the shareholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of shareholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.

(c)The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(d)Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on

10

information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with the reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(e)Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

13.Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a)In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 45 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 7 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a) The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b)In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c)If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

11

(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or other applicable law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company.

14.Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; D&O Insurance; Subrogation.

(a)The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of shareholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Florida law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b)The Company shall maintain directors and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies at existing coverage levels for as long as Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer of the Company and for a period of six (6) years thereafter. Indemnitee shall be an insured under such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. The Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company and Indemnitee shall mutually cooperate and take all reasonable actions to cause such insurers to pay on behalf of the insureds, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of all applicable policies.

(c)In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee,

12

who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(d)The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(e)The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

15.Duration of Agreement, Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) twenty years after Indemnitee has ceased to occupy any positions or have any relationships described in Section 1 of this Agreement; and (b) the final termination of all actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened during such twenty year period to which Indemnitee may be subject by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee agent or fiduciary of any other entity, including, but not limited to, another corporation, partnership, joint venture or trust, or by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all, substantially all, or a substantial part of the business and/or assets of the Company) and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee and his personal and legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, distributees, legatees and other successors. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company or of any other entity or other Enterprise at the Company’s request.

16.Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement or any application of any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall

13

be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

17.Enforcement.

(a)The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.

(b)This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

18.Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

19.Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

20.Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or upon confirmation of receipt when transmitted by facsimile transmission (but only if followed by transmittal by national overnight courier or hand for delivery on the next business day) or on receipt after dispatch by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, or on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, in each case as follows: (i) if to the Company, directed to the Chief Executive Officer at its principal place of business; and (ii) if to the Indemnitee, to such address as set forth below his name on the signature page to this Agreement; or such other persons or addresses as shall be furnished in writing by the Indemnitee to the Company.

14

21. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

22.Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the appropriate court of the State of Florida (the “Florida Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Florida Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Florida Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Florida Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

23.Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

24.Miscellaneous. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

Prior to a Change in Control, Administrator shall mean the Committee. Upon and after a Change in Control, Administrator shall mean the Trustees, unless within 30 days of the Change in Control (i) the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not accept such responsibility; or (ii) the appointment of the Trustee is objected to by the individual who, immediately prior to a Change in Control, was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or if not so identified, the Company’s highest ranking officer (the “Ex-CEO”).

ARTICLE 2
The Trust

2.1 The Trust is intended to be a Grantor Trust, of which the Company is the Grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

2.2 The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.

2.3 Until a Change in Control occurs, the Committee shall direct the Trustee as to the administration of this Trust in accordance with this Trust Agreement.

2.4 The Company hereby deposits with the Trust in trust $100, which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.

2.5 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3 and section 6.1, the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held separate and apart from other^, funds of the Company and the Subsidiaries and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Participants and general creditors of the Company and the Subsidiaries as herein set forth. Participants and their Beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan(s) and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Participants and their Beneficiaries against the Company and the Subsidiaries. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ general creditors under federal and state law in the event that the Company or a Subsidiary becomes Insolvent, as defined in Section 4.1 herein.

2.6 In the event that the Company contributes authorized common shares (without par value), or any other equity securities of the Company, to assist a Subsidiary in meeting the Subsidiary’s benefit obligations to Participants and their Beneficiaries, the property contributed shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company and the Subsidiary. Any such property not transferred to the Participants of the Subsidiary’s Plan(s), or their Beneficiaries, will revert to the Company upon the termination of this Trust.

2.7 The Company and their Subsidiaries, in their sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor any Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to compel additional deposits, The Trustee shall have no duty to collect or enforce payment to it of any contributions or to require that any contributions be made, and shall have no duty to compute any amount to be paid to it nor to determine whether amounts paid comply with the terms of the Plan(s).

2.8 Notwithstanding_. any other provision of this Trust Agreement, upon a Change in Control, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall, as soon as possible, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following the effective date of a Change in Control, as defined herein, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to fund the Trust at a level not less than 100% of the amount necessary to pay each Participant or Beneficiary the benefits to which Participants or their Beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) as of the effective date of the Change in Control. At least annually after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company and. the Subsidiaries shall make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to fund the Trust to pay any remaining benefits to the Participants or Beneficiaries. For purposes of calculating the amount of such deposit required either upon a Change in Control or annually, the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the current and projected benefit obligations and the current and projected administrative expenses and shall determine the sufficiency of the value of the existing assets of the Fund.

ARTICLE 3
Distributions

3.1 The discretionary power to interpret the Plan(s), including, but not limited to, the ability to make benefit entitlement determinations, shall be exercised by the Administrator. Any claim for benefits under the Plan(s) shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set forth in the Plan(s).

3.2 Concurrent with the establishment of this Trust, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule (the “Schedule”) that indicates the amounts currently payable in respect of each Participant (and his or her Beneficiaries) on a Plan by Plan basis, specifies the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the applicable Plans), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts if known. The Schedule shall be updated annually by the Company or its designee; provided, however upon a Change it Control and from time to time as is necessary thereafter, the Administrator shall have, full authority and responsibility to deliver a Schedule to the Trustee. The Trustee shall make payments to the Participants and their Beneficiaries in accordance with the Schedule. The Trustee, at the direction of the Committee or, after a Change in Control, on its own volition, may make any distribution required to be made by it hereunder by delivering:

(a) Its check payable to the person to whom such distribution is to be made, to the person, or, if prior to a Change in Control, to the Company for redelivery to such person; provided that before a Change in Control, the Committee may direct the Trustee to deliver one or more lump sum checks payable to the Company, and the Company shall prepare and deliver individual checks for each Participant or Beneficiary; or

(b) Its check payable to an insurer for the benefit of such person, to the insurer, or, if prior to a Change in Control, to the Company for redelivery to the insurer; or

(c) Contracts held on the life of the Participant to whom or with respect to whom the distribution is being made, to the Participant or Beneficiary, or, if prior to a Change in Control, to the Company for redelivery to the person to whom such distribution is to be made; or

(d) If a distribution is being made, in whole or in part, of other assets, assignments or other appropriate documents or certificates necessary to effect a transfer of title, to the Participant or Beneficiary, or, if prior to a Change in Control, to the Company for redelivery to such person.

3.3 The Company and the Subsidiaries may make payment of benefits directly to Participants or their Beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan(s). The Company and the Subsidiaries shall notify the Trustee of their decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Participants or their Beneficiaries. In the event the Company and the Subsidiaries provide such notification to the Trustee in writing at least seven (7) days prior to date on which the Company and Subsidiaries make payment of benefits directly to Participants or their Beneficiaries, the Company and Subsidiaries may also request, in such written notification; a concurrent reimbursement from the Fund equal to the amount paid directly to the Participant or Beneficiaries. Upon the Trustee’s approval of such written notification, the Trustee shall make a reimbursement payment to the Company and/or Subsidiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan(s), the Company and the Subsidiaries shall pay the balance of each such payment as it falls due in accordance with the Plan(s). The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Subsidiaries if principal and earnings are not sufficient to make benefit payments. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the Company or the Subsidiaries of their liabilities to pay benefits due under the Plan(s) or fees and expenses of the Trust, except to the extent such liabilities are met by application of assets of the Trust.

3.4 If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s or a Beneficiary’s benefit under a Plan becomes taxable to the Participant or Beneficiary prior to receipt, the Participant or Beneficiary may petition the Committee before a Change in Control, or may petition the Administrator upon and after a Change in Control, for a distribution of that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s unpaid vested benefit under the Plan(s)) shall be distributed by the Trustee. If the petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made as of the first business day of the month that begins at least thirty (30) days after the date when the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefits otherwise due under the Plan(s).

3.5 Except following a Change in Control, the Trustee shall withhold payments pursuant to a Plan if the Company or a Subsidiary instructs the Trustee to withhold such payments until the Company or Subsidiary determines the proper Beneficiary to receive such payments.

ARTICLE 4
Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to the Trust Beneficiary When the Company is Insolvent

4.1 The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries if the Company or Subsidiary is insolvent.

4.2 At all times during the continuance of this Trust, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of the Company and the Subsidiaries under federal and state law as set forth below.

(a) The Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing that the Company or the Subsidiary is Insolvent. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company or the Subsidiary alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Company or Subsidiary has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the Company or Subsidiary is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Participants or their Beneficiaries.

(b) Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge that the Company or Subsidiary is Insolvent, or has received notice from the Company or Subsidiary or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that the Company or Subsidiary is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Company or Subsidiary is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the Company’s or Subsidiary’s solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Company’s or Subsidiary’s solvency. In this regard, the Trustee may rely upon a letter from the Company’s or Subsidiary’s auditors as to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s financial status.

(c) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company or Subsidiary is Insolvent the Trustee shall discontinue payments to Participants or their Beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of Participants or their Beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Company or Subsidiary with respect to benefits due under the Plan(s) or otherwise.

(d) The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Participants or their Beneficiaries in accordance with Article 3 of this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the Company or Subsidiary is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

4.3 Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Participants or their Beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan(s) for the period of such discontinuance, plus earnings (if any) on amounts not paid during the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Participants or their Beneficiaries by the Company or any Subsidiary in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan(s), prior to a Change in Control, the Committee shall instruct the Trustee as to such amounts, and after a Change in Control, the Administrator shall determine such amounts.

ARTICLE 5
Payments When a Shortfall of the Trust Assets Occurs

5.1 Upon and after a Change in Control, if there are not sufficient assets for the payment of benefits pursuant to Article 2 or Section 4.3 hereof and the Company or a Subsidiary does not otherwise make such payments within a reasonable time after demand from the Administrator, the Trustee shall make payment of benefits from the Trust to the Participants or their Beneficiaries in the same percentage in which all future benefits under the Trust are currently funded at the time of the payment.

5.2 Upon receipt of a contribution from the Company or a Subsidiary necessary to make up for a shortfall in the payments due, the Trustee shall resume payments to all the Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan(s).

ARTICLE 6
Payments to the Company

6.1 In the event that the Committee, prior to a Change in Control, or the Administrator, after a Change in Control, determines that the Fund exceeds 125% of the current and projected benefit obligations and the current and projected administrative expenses that are to be paid under the Plan(s), the Trustee, at the direction of the Committee, prior to a Change in Control, or the Administrator, after a Change in Control, shall distribute to the Company and the Subsidiaries such excess portion of the Fund.

(ii) after a Change in Control, the power of the Company to amend this Trust Agreement shall cease, and the power to amend that was previously held by the Company shall, instead, be exercised by a majority of the Participants and, if a Participant is dead, his or her Beneficiaries (who collectively shall have one vote among them and shall vote in place of such deceased Participant), with the consent of the Administrator, provided that such amendment otherwise complies with the requirements of Sections 15.1(a), (b) and (c) above.

(e) Taxation. This Trust Agreement shall not be amended, altered, changed or modified in a manner that would cause the Participants and/or Beneficiaries under any Plan to be taxed on the benefits under any Plan in a year other than the year of actual receipt of benefits.

(f) Addition of Successor Plan not an Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the addition of any successor plans or other arrangements in accordance with Section 1.6, to Exhibit A of the Trust Agreement, shall not constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to this Trust Agreement.

15.2 The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Participants and their Beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) and all of the expenses of the Trust have been paid, and on such date the Trust shall terminate. Upon termination of the Trust, any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided, however, any Company common stock remaining in the Trust shall be returned directly to the Company. Such remaining assets shall be paid by the Trustee to the Company and the Subsidiaries in such amounts and in the manner instructed by the Company, whereupon the Trustee shall be released and discharged from all obligations hereunder. From and after the date of termination and until final distribution of the Fund, the Trustee shall continue to have all of the powers provided herein as are necessary or expedient for the orderly liquidation and distribution of the Fund.

ARTICLE 16
Change in Control

16.1 The Administrator shall have the specific authority to determine whether a Change in Control has occurred and shall be required to give the Trustee notice of a Change in Control. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such notice. If the Trustee receives notice of a Change in Control from another source or if a Participant or a Beneficiary requests a determination as to whether a Change in Control has occurred, the Trustee shall make its own independent determination as to whether a Change in Control has occurred.

ARTICLE 17
Miscellaneous

17.1 The Company and the Subsidiaries shall from time to time pay taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever that at any time are lawfully levied or assessed upon or become payable in respect of the Fund, the income or any property forming a part thereof, or any security transaction pertaining thereto. To the extent that any taxes lawfully levied or assessed upon the Fund are not paid by the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Trustee shall have the power to pay such taxes out of the Fund and shall seek reimbursement from the Company and the Subsidiaries. Prior to making any payment, the Trustee may require such releases or other documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary. The Trustee shall contest the validity of taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Company or its counsel, but at the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ expense, and only if it has received an indemnity bond or other security satisfactory to it to pay any such expenses. Prior to a Change in Control, the Trustee (i) shall not be liable for any nonpayment of tax when it distributes an interest hereunder on directions from the Committee, and (ii) shall have no obligation to prepare or file any tax return on behalf of the Fund, any such return being the sole responsibility of the Committee. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Committee in connection with the preparation and filing of any such return. After a Change in Control, the Trustee shall have such duties and obligations.

17.2 All persons dealing with the Trustee are released from inquiring into the decisions or authority of the Trustee and from seeing to the application of any moneys, securities or other property paid or delivered to the Trustee.

17.3 This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns.

17.4 The Company and the Subsidiaries are the true beneficiaries hereunder in that the payment of benefits, directly or indirectly to or for a Participant or Beneficiary by the Trustee, is in satisfaction of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries liability therefore under the Plan(s). Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall establish any beneficial interest in any person other than the Company and the Subsidiaries.

17.5 This Trust, the Plan(s) and each Participant’s Plan Agreement are part of and constitute a single, integrated employee benefit plan and trust, shall be construed together as the entire agreement between the Company, the Trustee, the Participants and the Beneficiaries with regard to the subject matter thereof, and shall supersede all previous negotiations, agreements and commitments with respect thereto.

17.6 Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

17.7 The Company hereby represents and warrants that each of the Plan(s) has been established, maintained and administered in material compliance with all applicable laws. The Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Trustee harmless from all liabilities, including attorney’s fees, relating to or arising out of the establishment, maintenance and administration of the Plan(s). To the extent the Company does not pay any of such liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust.

17.8 Benefits payable to participants and their Beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.

17.9 Except to the extent, if any, preempted by ERISA, this Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without reference to any conflicts of laws principals. Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Trust Agreement has been executed on behalf of the parties hereto and is effective as of the Effective Date.

Income taxes

Note 4. Income taxes

Alico's effective tax rate was 39.0% and 38.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company applies a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition and non-recognition of tax positions. A change in judgment related to prior years' tax positions is recognized in the quarter of such change. The Company had no reserve for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and in income taxes payable.

On May 16, 2012, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS related to its examination of the returns of Alico, Agri-Insurance, Ltd., (a former subsidiary of the Company) and Alico-Agri for the tax years 2005 through 2007. As a result of the settlement, the Company paid Federal taxes of $613,000 and interest of $225,000. On October 9, 2012, the Company paid the State of Florida $318,000 for taxes and $5,000 for interest as a result of the IRS settlement. The Company accrued $149,000 at September 30, 2012, for additional state interest and penalties. The actual amount paid was $135,000 for state interest. No amount was due for state penalties and the remaining accrual was reversed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Alico Inc. ("Alico") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is an agribusiness and land management company. The Company owns approximately 130,400 acres of land in five Florida counties (Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Polk). Our principal lines of business are citrus groves, improved farmland including sugarcane, cattle ranching and conservation, and other operations which includes rock mining.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

The Financial Statements have been presented according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alico Land Development, Inc. ("ALDI"), Alico-Agri, Ltd. ("Alico-Agri"), Alico Plant World, LLC and Alico Fruit Company, LLC (formerly known as Bowen Brothers Fruit Company, LLC) ("Alico Fruit"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on working capital, net income, stockholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon future events. The Company periodically evaluates the estimates. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable.

Seasonality

The Company is primarily engaged in agriculture, which is of a seasonal nature and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. The results of the reported period herein are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, or the SEC would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Stockholders' Equity

Note 7. Stockholders' Equity

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock through November 1, 2013 for the purpose of funding restricted stock grants under its 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The 2008 Plan was approved by shareholders on February 20, 2009. The stock repurchases began in November 2008 and were made on a quarterly basis through open market transactions at times and in such amounts as the Company's broker determines subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 10b-18. Effective April 1, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") which supersedes the 2008 Plan. The 2013 Plan was approved by shareholders at the February 22, 2013 shareholders meeting. Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased and reserved for awards.

The following table provides information relating to purchases of the Company's common shares on the open market pursuant to the 2008 Plan for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

	Shares			Cost
Balance September 30, 2012	23,235		$	543
Purchases	73,768			2,810
Issuances to Directors	(9,710	)		(221	)
Balance March 31, 2013	87,293		$	3,132

Through March 31, 2013, the Company had purchased 163,376 shares and had available to purchase an additional 186,654 shares in accordance with the 2008 Plan which was superseded by the 2013 Plan on April 1, 2013.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in general and administrative expenses was $174,000 and $315,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, and $125,000 and $246,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation is recorded for the Board of Directors fees paid in treasury stock and the Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan restricted common stock awards.

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 26, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Long-Term Incentive Program (the "Program"), as part of the 2008 Plan. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company approved the contingent award of 152,403 shares of common stock to the Named Executive Officers (the "NEOs") of the Company. On May 26, 2011, 58,610 shares were granted to the NEOs other than the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and on April 19, 2012, 93,793 shares were awarded to the CEO under restricted stock award agreements. The total value of the awards at the grant date were $321,000. The value was determined by application of a valuation model. In addition to the various criteria outlined herein, the model assumed annual volatility of 53.3% and a risk free interest rate of 2.80%.

Performance Criteria:

Either the "Performance Criteria" or "Partial Performance" must be achieved during the five year period following the award date (the "Performance Period") as well as certain service conditions for the CEO and/or the NEOs to receive the awards. The performance criteria will have been achieved if, at any time during the Performance Period, the average of the closing prices of the common stock over the most recent 20 consecutive trading day period exceeds (i) $46.00 for the CEO and $50.40 for the NEOs (representing 200% of the 20 Day Average Closing Price determined as of the Award Date at any time during the three year period commencing on the award date, or the "base stock price"), or (ii) $49.22 for the CEO and $53.93 for the NEOs (representing 214% of the base stock price) at any time during the one year period commencing on the third anniversary of the award date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the award date, or (iii) $52.44 for CEO and $57.46 for other NEOs (representing 228% of the base stock price) at any time during the one year period commencing on the fourth anniversary of the award date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the award date. If the 20 Day Average Closing Price equals or exceeds 100% of the applicable target average stock price on any day during the Performance Period, the recipients will be awarded, subject to vesting, 100% of the shares. Participants must be must be employed in an executive position through the following dates to receive their stock awards: (i) Fifty Percent (50%) of the Award Level shall immediately vest upon achievement of the Target Average Stock Price (the "Achievement Date"), (ii) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the first anniversary of the Achievement Date, and (iii) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the second anniversary of the Achievement Date.

If the Performance Criteria is not achieved during the Performance Period, but at any time during the Performance Period the 20 Day Average Closing Price exceeds 90% of the applicable target average stock price, then fifty percent (50%) of the common shares will be awarded, subject to vesting, at the end of the Performance Period ("Partial Performance"). Participants must be employed in an executive position through the following dates to receive their stock awards: (i) Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the Award Level shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period ("Partial Performance Achievement Date" in the case of Partial Performance), (ii) Twelve and One-Half Percent (12.5%) of the Award Level shall vest on the first anniversary of the Partial Performance Achievement Date and (iii) Twelve and One-Half Percent (12.5%) of the Award Level shall vest on the second anniversary of the Partial Performance Achievement Date.

No restricted common stock will be awarded under the Program unless the Performance Criteria or Partial Performance Criteria are achieved during the five year period following the Award Date as specified. Each participant signed an award agreement with the Company setting forth the terms of the award.

On February 8, 2013, the CEO's restricted common stock award under the Program exceeded 90% of the applicable Target Average Stock Price in accordance with the Partial Performance Criteria. Additionally, on April 3, 2013, the NEO's stock awards under the Program exceeded 90% of the applicable Target Average Stock Price.

The portion of stock-based compensation expense recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 for these market-based awards was $27,000. The Company used a binomial model to calculate the fair value at the grant date.

In the event of a change in control, reorganization, liquidation or sale of the Company, all shares awarded but unvested will become fully vested provided the recipient remains employed by the Company through such event.

· Other Operations include activities related to rock and sand mining, oil exploration and other insignificant lines of business.

Segments

The Company is organized into six operating segments which span our five lines of business. The operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately and decisions about allocation of resources are determined by our management team based on these strategic business units. The operating segments are as follows:

· Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves in order to produce fruit for delivery to fresh and processed citrus markets.

· Alico Fruit includes activities related to agricultural value-added services which include contracting for harvesting, hauling and marketing and the purchase and resale of fruit.

Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for by the Company as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices. Goods and services produced by these segments are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States which prepare the products for consumption. The Company evaluates the segments performance based on direct margins from operations before general and administrative costs, interest expense and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Atlantic Blue Group, Inc.

Atlantic Blue Group, Inc. ("Atlanticblue" or "ABG") owns approximately 50.6% of Alico's common stock. By virtue of its ownership percentage, Atlanticblue is able to elect all of the directors and, consequently, control Alico. Directors which also serve on Atlanticblue's board are referred to as "affiliated directors". Atlanticblue issued a letter dated December 3, 2009, reaffirming its commitment to maintain a majority of independent directors (which may include affiliated directors) on Alico's board. To be considered independent under Nasdaq rules a director may not be employed by Alico or engage in certain types of business dealings with Alico. In addition as required by Nasdaq rules, the Board is required to make an affirmative determination that the director has no relationships which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities as a director.

John R. Alexander, a major shareholder in Atlanticblue and a director on the Atlanticblue Board of Directors, retired as the Company's Chairman of the Board at the February 2013 shareholders meeting. Mr. Alexander's son, JD Alexander, resigned March 31, 2012 as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlanticblue and did not stand for re-election as a director at the June 2012 Atlanticblue shareholders meeting. In February 2010, JD Alexander was appointed Alico's President and Chief Executive Officer, and he serves on Alico's Board of Directors. Robert E. Lee Caswell, John R. Alexander's son-in-law, served as a director on Alico's Board of Directors until its February 2013 shareholders meeting; he did not stand for re-election. Robert J. Viguet, Jr., an Alico director, did not stand for re-election as a director of Atlanticblue at its June 2012 shareholders meeting. Dykes Everett was elected to the Alico Board of Directors at the February 2013 shareholders meeting; he was nominated by Atlanticblue where he serves as a director.

Former director Baxter Troutman filed a derivative shareholder suit against John R. Alexander and JD Alexander in which a settlement agreement ("Agreement") was reached on April 1, 2012. On May 16, 2012 the Circuit Court of the 10^th Judicial Circuit in Polk County, FL approved the Agreement thereby settling the shareholder derivative action complaint. The Company, by determination of the Special Litigation Committee comprised of four independent directors of its Board of Directors, filed a motion seeking recovery of attorney fees and costs incurred in its defense. The Company is reimbursing Messrs.' Alexander for legal fees used to defend themselves against the suit in accordance with the Board of Directors indemnification agreements. All reimbursements are approved by the Special Committee of the Board Reimbursements for litigation were $6,000 and $7,000 on behalf of John R. Alexander, and $0 and $2,000 on behalf of JD Alexander, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. Reimbursements for litigation were $71,000 and $79,000 on behalf of John R. Alexander, and $69,000 and $182,000 on behalf of JD Alexander, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Management Security Plan

The Management Security Plan ("MSP") is a nonqualified, noncontributory defined supplemental deferred retirement benefit plan for a select group of management personnel. The MSP provides fixed supplement retirement benefits for 180 months. The MSP is frozen with no new participants being added. The MSP benefit expense and the projected obligation are determined using assumptions at the end of the fiscal year. The MSP currently is unfunded and benefits are paid as they become due. At March 31, 2013, the total balance of the deferred retirement benefits liability was $4,170,000.

The Company has established a "Rabbi Trust" to provide for the funding of accrued benefits under the MSP. According to the terms of the Rabbi Trust, funding is voluntary until a change of control in the Management Security Plan(s) Trust Agreement occurs. Upon a change of control, funding is triggered. As of March 31, 2013, the Rabbi Trust had no assets, and no change of control had occurred.

The Company has a credit facility including a revolving line of credit ("RLOC") and term loan with Rabo AgriFinance, Inc. ("Rabo") totaling $97,000,000. The revolving line of credit and term note are collateralized by 43,991 acres of farmland and 12,280 acres of additional real property containing approximately 8,600 acres of producing citrus groves.

The $60,000,000 RLOC bears interest at a floating rate payable on the first day of each calendar quarter. The RLOC matures on October 1, 2020. At March 31, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on the RLOC. The Company pays an annual commitment fee on the RLOC equal to 0.15% of the difference between the annual average unpaid balance and the $60,000,000 loan commitment. The commitment fee is payable on February 1 of each year. Commitment fees of approximately $87,000 were paid during February 2013 and $15,000 was accrued at March 31, 2013.

The interest rate on the RLOC is based on the one month LIBOR plus a spread. The spread is determined based upon our debt service coverage ratios for the preceding fiscal year and can vary from 225 to 250 basis points. The rate is currently at Libor plus 225 basis points. On October 1, 2015, Rabo may adjust the interest rate spread to any percentage above one month Libor. Rabo must provide a 30 day notice of the new spreads; at that time, the Company has the right to prepay the outstanding balance.

The term loan requires quarterly payments of interest at a floating rate of one month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. It also requires quarterly principal payments of $500,000 through October 1, 2020, when the remaining principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable.

At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, Alico was in compliance with all of its covenants under the various Rabo loan agreements.

On October 10, 2012, the outstanding mortgage note held by Farm Credit of Florida was paid in full.
