another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other

judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding. Pursuant to Section  145(b) of the DGCL, the power to
indemnify also applies to actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit. Pursuant to Section  145(b), the Company shall not
indemnify any person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company

in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper. The power to indemnify under
Sections 145(a) and (b)  of the DGCL applies (i)  if such
person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or (ii)  if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best
interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.</p>

Item 4.     Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.     Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not
applicable.
Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
As permitted by Section  102 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, the Company's
second amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a
provision that eliminates the personal liability of the Company's
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.
The Company's second
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also
provide that:
•
the Company
must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law;
•
the Company may advance
expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in
connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware Law; and
•
the
Company may indemnify its other employees and agents to the same extent
that the Company indemnified its officers and directors, unless
otherwise determined by the Company's board of directors.
Pursuant to Section  145(a) of the DGCL, the Company 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
agent or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the
Company's request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding. Pursuant to Section  145(b) of the DGCL, the power to
indemnify also applies to actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit. Pursuant to Section  145(b), the Company shall not
indemnify any person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper. The power to indemnify under
Sections 145(a) and (b)  of the DGCL applies (i)  if such
person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or (ii)  if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best
interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section  174 of
the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully
or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an
unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such
actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions
were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing
his or her dissent to such actions to
be entered in the books containing the minutes
of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action
occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of
the unlawful acts.
The indemnification provisions contained in
the Company's second amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive of any
other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
In
addition, the Company currently maintains insurance on behalf of our
directors and executive officers insuring them against certain
liabilities asserted against them in their capacities as directors or
officers or arising out of such status. Such insurance would be
available to the Company's directors and officers in accordance
with its terms.

The undersigned registrant hereby

1)
To file, during any

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 20  percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
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 registration statement is on
Form  S-3, Form  S-8 or Form  F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section  13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2)
That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 hereby 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 of 1933, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section  15(d) of the Exchange Act, and each filing of
the Plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered herein, 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 of
1933 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 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 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
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 Dallas,
State of Texas, on September 1, 2005.
