ARTICLE X - INDEMNITY
Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by
or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified by the Corporation
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, acne a presumption that the person did not act in good faith
and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.
Any indemnification under the foregoing provisions shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he or she had met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination
shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties
to such action, suit or proceedings, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable and the quorum of
disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders.
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such
10
EFTA00292651
amounts unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
herein authorized.
The indemnification herein provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director,
Officer, Employee or Agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, mist or other enterprise against
any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as
such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under
the
provisions above set forth.
For purposes of this Article, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidatio
n or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a Director, Officer, Employee or Agent
of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other enterprise, shall stand in
the same
position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she
would
have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
The amount of indemnity to which any officer or Director may be entitled shall be fixed by the Board
of
Directors, except that in any case where there is no disinterested majority of the Board available, the amount
shall be
fixed by arbitration pursuant to the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association.

OPERATION PLAN
In the not too distant future, there will be as many people on the Internet as populated the
world only 20 years ago. The applications in the academic field of informatics represent some
of the fastest growing segments of Internet searches and research. Informatics encompasses
the dynamic relationship of human-computer interactions and the forward-looking field of
artificial intelligence. Imminently, algorithmic heuristics strategies or, experience-based
techniques for problem solving, will be necessary to optimize and control analytics in human
beings and machines.
Financial Infomatics, Inc. ("Flip seeks approval to operate as a Protected Cell Company within
the University of the Virgin Islands Research and Technology Park. FII's goal is to build a
significant financial information catalog and biomedical database and develop data mining
platforms for the database to be available through the Internet. With over 200 million profiled
Internet users in the United States and up to 2 billion worldwide users, the goal of discovering
trends related to investments and life sciences has vast possibilities.
Fll's objective is data acquisition and the development of predictive models using a
comprehensive database to bridge the fields of biomedical informatics and financial informatics
which appeal to contemporary consumers and organizations interested in health and financial
well-being. Every field of science has its own problems and requires efficient algorithms.
Algorithmic advances in one field will improve and optimize those of other fields. Financial
informatics is defined as the structure and behavior of systems for storing, processing and
communicating financial data. Biomedical informatics is the use of algorithms, databases,
artificial intelligence and data mining for generating innovative knowledge of biology and
medicine with a goal of improving and discovering new models of DNA computation, especially
in researching the nucleotide sequences of DNA.
The Fll platform seeks to apply concepts, methodologies, and technologies to biomedical
informatics and financial informatics, including public health epidemiology, financial genetic
algorithms, computational biology, genomics, proteomics, structural biology, disease modeling,
and biomedical engineering. The purpose of DNA and biomedical data mining and graph data
is to enhance the ability to access, interpret and utilize information related to biomedical
informatics and financial informatics in order to improve health and well being. Measured data
provide valuable insight into product usage, but also bring challenges like large data files. It is
crucial to make the most of measured data to understand product service, performance, and
life.
Fll will use accurate standard software architecture optimized for large data sets. The raw data
will be separated from the metadata, increasing searching speed. There will be built-in
automated analysis to ensure that standard reports are readily available, and
FII will use a security model that makes sure only the right people have access to the
approved data and information. Users can even configure the on-line analysis routines and
EFTA00292659
Financial Infomatics, Inc. RT Park Application
build powerful queries and reports; the right data, report or analysis to the right user at the right
time.
FII's platform will be based on databases and information to be kept on servers located in the
U.S. Virgin Islands, specifically St. Thomas. Corporate enterprises have discovered that data
mining is a valuable mechanism in analyzing customer, operational and transactional data that
they have collected and stored for many years for billing and auditing purposes which provides
them with a mechanism that facilitates the ability for larger enterprises to 'know your
customers'. FII will deploy this mechanism to the human being, creating a means for
individuals to 'know your DNA'. The development of data mining methods is very sensitive, and
FII will adhere to privacy preservation and non-perfect matches. FII's strategy will be
developed in consultation with leading privacy advocates and privacy professionals as part of
its business process.
FII will be 100 percent capitalized by its founder. The initial investment will be approximately
$650,000 in cash and equipment. Funds will be used for a build-out of office space,
development of a secure server as well as other plant and equipment and start up costs.

Fll's founder, Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, is universally renowned for his complex mathematics skills
and is an experienced entrepreneur who has built several highly profitable companies. He has
successfully transferred these abilities to the world of high finance, having been one of the
pioneers of derivative and option-based investing. He looks now to shift his focus to the
dynamic discipline of biomedical and financial analysis. His relationships in the upper echelon
of research and academia and advanced knowledge of both science and mathematics will
enable FII to thrive in this technology-based environment.
MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION
FII will be managed by its founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. Mr.
Epstein was born, raised and educated in New York City. He began his career teaching
calculus and physics at the high school level and transitioned in 1976 to his lucrative business
career at Bear Stearns & Company. He later founded his own financial consulting firm in 1981,
EFTA00292660
Financial Infomatics, Inc. RT Park Application
which he brought to the Virgin Islands in 1999 when he opened Financial Trust Company, Inc.
("FTC"). FTC is a successful Virgin Islands business and a beneficiary of the Economic
Development Commission ("EDC"). FTC was recently approved by the EDC for an extension
of benefits. Mr. Epstein has been a resident of the US Virgin Islands since 1996.
Mr. Epstein is a financial supporter of the sciences and through his three foundations: Epstein
Interests, the J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, Inc. and The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc. His
foundations have provided significant support to Harvard University's Program for Evolutionary
Dynamics, which uses mathematics to study such subjects as evolutionary biology, viruses.
and cancer. They have also funded, in part, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton
University. The J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation has wholly sponsored and participated in
scientific symposiums held in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mr. Epstein and his foundations have
also supported the research of Nobel laureates at postdoctoral and graduate levels.
Additionally, Mr. Epstein's philanthropy has provided substantial support to individual
scientists, including but not limited to cognitive psychologists and scientists such as Marvin
Minsky and Stephen Kosslyn, and Howard Gardner, a theoretical biologist.
Mr. Epstein continues to passionately believe in the importance of academic research and
continues to be an integral part in providing significant opportunities for scientific and
technological exploration through his philanthropy. In his quest to bridge his support of the
sciences, his pursuit of new frontiers and his financial acumen, Mr. Epstein became aware of
the RT Park. Mr. Epstein believes that there would be perfect synergy between the RT
Park/UVI model and FII's technology, mathematics and science based venture. FII's offices
will be located within the University of the Virgin Islands Research and Development Park.
In 12006, Mr. Epstein was arrested and charged with one count of solicitation of prostitution.
On June 30, 2008, before the Florida Circuit Court for the 15th Judicial Circuit located in Palm
Beach, Florida, Mr. Epstein plead guilty to the aforementioned charge of one count of soliciting
prostitution and a related offence.

largest and second most populous continent, after Asia. At about 11.7 million square miles, it
covers six percent of the Earth's total surface area and twenty percent of the Earth's total land
area. With 1.0 billion people (as of 2009) in 61 territories, it accounts for about fifteen percent
of the world's human population. The continent has 56 sovereign states. The expected
economic growth rate of Africa was approximately 5.5% in 2011.
Market Penetration
FII plans to penetrate the market through traditional marketing, including a direct sales force,
telemarketing and commercial advertising and promotion. In addition, FII plans to maximize its
business through social media marketing. FII believes in the power of social and mobile
marketing and intends to penetrate the market with various social media weapons such as
Facebook and Twitter.
Market Profile
Biomedical informatics and financial informatics has expanded its importance because of its
ability to make research available rapidly. Also, it has enormously wide-spread and varied
applications. Biomedical informatics and financial informatics use information technology,
statistics, and algorithms to integrate biological, medical and financial data. Presently,
pharmaceutical companies are implementing automated technologies to manufacture effective
therapies and drugs due to increasing concerns about drug safety and rigorous regulations
that govern activities such as clinical trials for drug discovery.
The market for biomedical informatics platforms is growing at a considerable pace with the
escalating demand coming from the United States and Europe. This trend is supported by the
increased demand for predictive modeling and sequencing platforms with increasing life
science research and high frequency trading. The biomedical informatics and financial
informatics arenas are expected to be an $8.3 billion business by 2014.
The segments of the biomedical informatics and financial informatics markets are as follows:
• Biomedical informatics platforms
EFTA00292662
Financial Infomatics, Inc. RT Park Application
• Sequence alignment platforms
• Sequence manipulation platforms,
• Sequence analysis platforms
• Structural analysis platforms
• Content/Knowledge management tools
• Specialized knowledge management tools
• Generalized knowledge management tools
• Services
• Data Analysis
• Sequencing Services
• Database & Management services
• Applications
Historically, the challenge in biomedical informatics and financial informatics remains the
integration of different sources into one platform for accessing complete data. A concern in this
industry has been the lack of a competent and qualified workforce, particularly for
documentation. New tools are not only pushing the development of drug discovery, but also
fundamentally changing the nature of biological and medical research.
The United States dominates the global biomedical informatics and financial informatics
market with an estimated share of 41% in 2008, as stated in a recent report published by
Global Industry Analysts, Inc. with a highly competitive European market not far behind. Asia
has the fastest growing market with a 21% share in 2008. Approximately 55% of the
companies are based in the United States and 30% are based in Europe. Most of these
companies are relatively small and primarily funded by venture capital companies. Major
players include 3rd Millennium, Accelrys, Inc, Affymetrix, Agilent Technologies, Applied
Biobase, Biosystems, BioWisdom Ltd, Celera Group, CLC, Geneva Bioinformatics S.A,
Genostar, InforSense Ltd, InPharmix Incorporated, Invitrogen, Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd and
