Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides for the indemnification of officers and directors under certain
circumstances against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a
claim and authorizes Delaware corporations to indemnify their officers and
directors under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred
in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their being or having
been an officer or director.
Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation, by so providing in its certificate of incorporation, to eliminate
or limit director's liability to the corporation and its stockholders for
monetary damages arising out of certain alleged breaches of their fiduciary
duty. Section 102(b)(7) provides that no such limitation of liability may affect
a director's liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) acts or
omissions not made in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) liability for dividends paid or stock
repurchased or redeemed in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
(iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Section 102(b)(7) does not authorize any limitation on the ability of
the corporation or its stockholders to obtain injunctive relief, specific
performance or other equitable relief against directors.
Article 8 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that
no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Exhibit 4.1
PATIENT INFOSYSTEMS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose. The PATIENT INFOSYSTEMS, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION
PLAN (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") is designed to furnish additional
incentive to both key employees and Directors of Patient Infosystems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), and its parents
or subsidiaries, upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful
conduct of the business of the Company largely depends, by encouraging such
persons to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company or to increase the
same, and to strengthen the ability of the Company to attract and retain in its
employ, or as a member of the Board of Directors, persons of training,
experience and ability. Such purpose will be effected through the granting of
"Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (hereinafter the "Code") and options which do
not qualify as incentive stock options ("Non-Qualified Options").
2. Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee chosen by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Committee") and decisions of the Committee
concerning the interpretation and construction of any provisions of the Plan or
of any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be final. In the absence of the
Committee, the Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company. The Company shall effect the grant of options under the Plan in
accordance with the decisions of the Committee, which may, from time to time,
adopt rules and regulations for the carrying out of the Plan. For purposes of
the Plan, an option shall be deemed to be granted when a written Option Contract
is signed on behalf of the Company by a member of the Committee. Subject to the
express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its
discretion and without limitation: to determine the individuals to receive
options, the times when such individuals shall receive options, the number of
Shares to be subject to each option, the term of each option, the date(s) on
which each option shall become exercisable, whether an option is subject to
vesting pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof, whether an option shall be exercisable
in whole, in part, or in installments, the number of Shares to be subject to
each installment, the date each installment shall become exercisable, the term
of each installment, the option price of each option, and the terms of payment
for Shares purchased by the exercise of each option; to accelerate the date of
exercise of any installment; and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan.
(b) The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock
Options pursuant to a single option agreement so long as each option is clearly
identified as to its status. Notwithstanding anything else contained in the
Plan, if the Committee issues a single option agreement which contains both
Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options, the exercise of one
cannot affect the exercise of the other.
3. Eligibility. The persons who shall be eligible to receive options under
the Plan shall be Directors and those employees of the Company, or of any of its
parents or subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 424(e) and (f) of the
Code, who are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938, as amended, by reason of employment in an executive, administrative
or professional capacity under 29 U.S.C. ss. 213(a)(1); provided, however,
Directors, who are not employees of the Company or any of its parents or
subsidiaries, shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.
Additionally, no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to a person who would,
at the time of the grant of such option, own, or be deemed to own for purposes
of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of shares of stock of the Company or its parents or
subsidiaries unless at the time of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option both
of the following conditions are met:
(a) The option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the
shares of stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option, as defined in Section
4(a) hereof, and
(b) the option is, by its terms, not exercisable after the expiration of
five years from the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.
4. Shares Subject to Options.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(g) hereof, options may be
granted under the Plan to purchase in the aggregate not more than 1,680,000
shares of the $.01 par value Common Stock of the Company (hereinafter referred
to as "Shares"), which Shares may, in the discretion of the Committee, consist
either in whole or in part of authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in
the treasury of the Company. Any Shares subject to an option which for any
reason expires or is terminated unexercised as to such Shares shall continue to
be available for options under the Plan.
(b) To the extent the aggregate fair market value, determined as of the
time the option is granted, of Shares for which stock options are exercisable
for the first time by such individual in any calendar year, under all incentive
stock option plans of the Company or in any corporation which is a parent or
subsidiary of the Company, exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as
Non-Qualified Options. However, the value of the Shares for which Incentive
Stock Options may be granted to such individual from the Company in a given year
may exceed $100,000.
5. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options shall be granted by the
Committee pursuant to the Plan and shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) Price. Each option shall state the number of Shares subject to the
option and the option price, which, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option,
shall be not less than the fair market value of the Shares with respect to which
the option is granted at the time of the granting of the option. In addition,
the option price shall be at least 110% of fair market value in the case of a
grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a person who would at the time of the
grant, own, or be deemed to own for purposes of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code,
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Shares of the
Company or its parents or subsidiaries. For purposes of this subsection, "fair
market value" shall mean:
(i) the mean between the bid and asked price for the Shares on the business
day immediately preceding the date of the grant of the option;
(ii) the most recent sale price for the Shares as of the date of the grant
of the option; or
(iii) such price as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company in an attempt made in good faith to meet the requirements of Section
422(b)(4) of the Code.
(b) Term. The term of each option shall be determined by the Committee, but
in no event shall an option be exercisable either in whole or in part after the
expiration of ten years from the date on which it is granted. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee and an optionee may, by mutual agreement, terminate
any option granted to such optionee under the Plan. In the event of merger,
consolidation, dissolution or liquidation which results in a change of control
as defined in Section 368(c) of the Code (using the attribution rules of Section
318), all unexercised options will become immediately exercisable for a period
of one year, the effectiveness of such expiration shall be conditioned upon the
consummation of any such transaction.
(c) Vesting. The Committee shall determine the vesting schedule, if any,
for each issuance of options hereunder on a case-by-case basis, in its sole
discretion.
(d) Non-Assignment During Life. During the lifetime of the optionee, the
option shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be assignable or
transferable by him, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise,
and no other person shall acquire any rights therein.
(e) Death of Optionee. In the event that an optionee shall die prior to the
complete exercise of options granted to him under the Plan, such remaining
options may be exercised in whole or in part after the date of the optionee's
death only: (i) by the optionee's estate or by or on behalf of such person or
persons to whom the optionee's rights under the option pass under the optionee's
Will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) to the extent that the
optionee was entitled to exercise the option at the date of his death; and (iii)
prior to the expiration of the term of the option.
(f) Termination of Employment. An Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee to whom it is granted only if,
at all times during the period beginning on the date of the granting of the
option and ending on the day three months before the date of such exercise, he
is an employee of the Company or any of its parents or subsidiaries, or an
employee of a corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation issuing
or assuming an option granted hereunder in a transaction to which Section 424(a)
of the Code applies; provided, however, that in the case of an optionee who is
disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the three month
period after cessation of employment during which an Incentive Stock Option
shall be exercisable shall be one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option
shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term thereof. For purposes of
this subsection, an employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact
while the optionee is on military duty, sick leave or other bona fide leave of
absence, such as temporary employment by the Government, if the period of such
leave does not exceed 90 days, or, if longer, so long as a statute or contract
guarantees the optionee's right to re-employment with the Company, or any of its
parents or subsidiaries, or another corporation issuing or assuming an option
granted hereunder in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.
When the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the individual's right to
re-employment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment
relationship will be deemed to have terminated on the 91st day of such leave.
(g) Anti-Dilution Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 422 of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the aggregate number and
kind of Shares available for options under the Plan, and the number and kind of
Shares subject to, and the option price of, each outstanding option shall be
proportionately adjusted by the Committee for any increase, decrease or change
in the total outstanding Shares of the Company resulting from a stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of Shares or
similar transaction (but not by reason of the issuance or purchase of Shares by
the Company in consideration for money, services or property).
(h) Power to Establish Other Provisions. Subject to the provisions of
Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, options
granted under the Plan shall contain such other terms and conditions as the
Committee shall deem advisable.
6. Exercise of Option. Options shall be exercised as follows:
(a) Notice and Payment. Each option, or any installment thereof, shall be
exercised, whether in whole or in part, by giving written notice to the Company
at its principal office, specifying the number of Shares purchased and the
purchase price being paid, and accompanied by the payment of all or such part of
the purchase price as shall be specified in the option, by cash or by certified
or bank check payable to the order of the Company. If a registration statement
covering the issuance of the Shares has not been filed under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), and at the time of
exercise is not effective and current in accordance with the requirements of the
Act, then each such notice shall also contain appropriate representations on
behalf of the optionee regarding, among other things, compliance with the Act,
available exemptions from registration, investment intent and restrictions upon
resale of the Shares, as are deemed appropriate by the Company.
Appropriate legends may be placed on any certificate for Shares received by
an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an option in order to give notice of the
transfer restrictions set forth herein, and the Company may cause stop transfer
orders to be placed against such certificates. It shall be a further condition
to any exercise of the option and the purchase of Shares pursuant thereto that
the Company counsel be satisfied that the issuance of such shares will be in
compliance with the Act and any other laws applicable thereto, and the Company
shall be entitled to receive such other information, assurances, documents,
representations or warranties as it or its counsel may reasonably require with
respect to such compliance.
(b) Issuance of Certificates. Certificates representing the Shares
purchased by the optionee shall be issued as soon as practicable after the
optionee has complied with the provisions of Section 6(a) hereof.
(c) Rights as a Shareholder. The optionee shall have no rights as a
Shareholder with respect to the Shares purchased until the date of the issuance
to him of a Certificate representing such Shares.
(d) Disposition of Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a)
hereof, any disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code, of
Shares acquired by the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years
from the date of grant of the option or within one year after the transfer of
the Shares to the optionee shall be a disqualifying disposition as defined in
Section 421(b) of the Code; provided, however, that the foregoing holding
periods shall not apply to the disposition of Shares after the death of the
optionee by the estate of the optionee, or by a person who acquired the Shares
by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the optionee. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, in the case of a transfer of Shares by an
insolvent optionee to a trustee, receiver or similar fiduciary in any proceeding
under Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar insolvency proceeding,
neither the transfer, nor any other transfer of such Shares for the benefit of
his creditors in such proceeding, shall constitute a disposition.
(e) Order of Option Exercise. An optionee may exercise the options granted
by the Company under the Plan in any order the optionee chooses regardless of
the chronological order in which the options were granted by the Company.
7. Special Provisions Regarding Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.
Pursuant to the terms of this Plan, each non-employee Director of this
Corporation shall be entitled to receive a one-time grant of a Non-Qualified
Option, effective upon the date of his/her initial election to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, to purchase 36,000 Shares. The exercise price for
such option shall equal the fair market value of the Corporation's Common Stock
on the grant date. Each such option shall vest as to exercisability with respect
to the first 20% of the shares subject thereto on the first anniversary date of
the grant date of such option, and as to an additional 20% of the shares subject
thereto on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the
grant date. Any such options granted to non-employee Directors of the
Corporation shall be exercisable only during the holder's term as a Director of
the Corporation, and shall automatically expire upon the date that a Director is
no longer serving as a Director, except that an option may be exercisable after
the death, disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code
("Disability"), or retirement from the Board at the age of 65 or thereafter
("Retirement"), of a holder while a Director of the Company at any time until
the earlier to occur of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of death,
Disability, or Retirement and (ii) the expiration of the term of such option. No
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of an option may be sold,
assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred for a period of six months after the
later to occur of (x) the adoption of the Plan by the Company's shareholders and
(y) the grant of the option, as is specified in Rule 16b-3 (or other period of
time specified in such rule as such rule may be amended from time to time) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). It is
intended that this part of the Plan as it applies to option grants to
non-employee Directors will constitute a "formula plan" within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the provisions of the Plan and of any
option agreement made pursuant to the Plan will be interpreted and applied
accordingly. At any time the Committee may suspend or terminate this part of the
Plan and make such additions or amendments thereto as it deems advisable;
provided, that such additions or amendments are made in compliance with Rule
16b-3 of the Exchange Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time); and
provided, further, that the terms of this paragraph shall not be amended more
than once every six months (other than to comply with the federal securities
laws, the Code, or ERISA).
8. Term of Plan. Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to
time within a period of ten years after the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company or the date the Plan is approved by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Company, whichever date
is earlier. However, the Plan shall not take effect until approved by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Company, at a duly
constituted meeting thereof, held within 12 months before or after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors.
9. Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Committee, without further
approval of the Shareholders of the Company, may at any time suspend or
terminate the Plan, or may amend it from time to time in any manner; provided,
however, that no amendment shall be effective without prior approval of the
Shareholders of the Company which would: (i) except as provided in Section 5(g)
hereof, increase the maximum number of Shares for which options may be granted
under the Plan; (ii) change the eligibility requirements for individuals
entitled to receive options under the Plan; or (iii) cause Incentive Stock
Options granted or to be granted under the Plan to fail to qualify as Incentive
Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.
10. Shares Reserved. The Board of Directors of the Company shall at all
times during the term of this Plan reserve and keep available such number of
Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan, and shall
pay all original issue taxes on the exercise of options, and all other fees and
expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
11. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale of Shares by the
Company under the Plan will constitute general funds of the Company and may be
used by the Company for any purpose.

Re: Patient Infosystems, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Patient Infosystems, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with all proceedings relating to the authorization and proposed
issuance and sale by you of shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
("Common Stock") upon the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to Patient
Infosystems, Inc. Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), as described in
the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), filed by
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act").
Based upon our examination of such documents and proceedings as we have
deemed necessary and pertinent, we are of the opinion that:
1. Patient Infosystems, Inc. (the "Company") is a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
2. The Plan has been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors
and the stockholders of the Company;
3. The shares of Common Stock reserved by the Board of Directors of the
Company for issuance upon the exercise of stock options granted under the Plan
have been duly authorized; and
4. When the shares of Common Stock are issued upon the due exercise of
stock options granted in accordance with the Plan, such shares of Common Stock
will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
