Company&#146;s directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, the Company&#146;s directors will not be personally liable to it or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except liability (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (2)&nbsp;for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or knowing violation
of law; (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful dividends or stock purchases; or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the person derived an improper personal benefit. Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will
not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of
directors or officers of corporations, then the personal liability of the Company&#146;s directors and officers will be further limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>D&amp;O Insurance and Indemnification Agreements </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company will enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers containing provisions that are in some respects
broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or
service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Company also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors and officers.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company also intends to maintain liability insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities,
including certain liabilities under arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which may be incurred by them in their capacity as such. </P>

Agreement entered into on July&nbsp;28, 2014 in connection with the Company&#146;s initial public offering provides for indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities arising under the
Securities Act or otherwise in connection with such initial public offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Long-Term Incentive Plan </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan provides that the committee that administers the Plan (the &#147;Committee&#148;) and all members thereof are entitled to, in good
faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to them by any officer or employee of the Company, any of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries, the Company&#146;s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents
assisting in the administration of this Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or
determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant with respect to any such action or determination. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table

pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at

Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Company shall furnish to the Commission or its staff a copy or copies of all of the documents included in such file.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Except to the extent that information is deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and regulations, the following documents
have been filed by the Company with the Commission and are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and will be deemed to be a part hereof:
(a)
The Registrant's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-196375) on July 29, 2014 relating to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-196375), originally filed with the Commission on May 29, 2014, including any amendment thereto;
(b)
All other reports filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 referred to in (a) above; and
(c)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock included in the Registrant's Form 8-A (File No. 001-36559), filed with the Commission on July 22, 2014, including any amendment or report filed for
the purpose of updating, changing or otherwise modifying such description.
Except to the extent that information is deemed
furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and regulations, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the
dates of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify 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 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), against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions (i.e., actions
by or in the right of the corporation), except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there
can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws
The Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of the
Company's directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, the Company's directors will not be personally liable to it or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (2) for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or knowing violation
of law; (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful dividends or stock purchases; or (4) for any transaction from which the person derived an improper personal benefit. Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will
not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of
directors or officers of corporations, then the personal liability of the Company's directors and officers will be further limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
D&O Insurance and Indemnification Agreements
The Company will enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers containing provisions that are in some respects
broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or
service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Company also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors and officers.
The Company also intends to maintain liability insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities,
including certain liabilities under arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which may be incurred by them in their capacity as such.
Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriting
Agreement entered into on July 28, 2014 in connection with the Company's initial public offering provides for indemnification of the Company's directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities arising under the
Securities Act or otherwise in connection with such initial public offering.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Plan provides that the committee that administers the Plan (the "Committee") and all members thereof are entitled to, in good
faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to them by any officer or employee of the Company, any of the Company's subsidiaries, the Company's legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents
assisting in the administration of this Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or
determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant with respect to any such action or determination.
The above discussion of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, the Company's maintenance of directors' and officers' liability insurance and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive
and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such statute and documents.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on July 30, 2014.
