</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is a Missouri corporation. Sections&nbsp;351.355(1) and (2)&nbsp;of The General and
Business Corporation Law of Missouri (the &#147;GBCL&#148;) provide 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 (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&#146; 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, except that, in the case of an action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation, no person shall be indemnified as to any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for proper expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;351.355(3) of the GBCL provides that, except as otherwise provided in the
corporation&#146;s Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, to the extent a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation has been successful in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;351.355(7) of the GBCL provides that a corporation may provide additional
indemnification other than as authorized by other subsections, provided such additional
indemnification is authorized by the corporation&#146;s Articles of Incorporation or an amendment
thereto or by a shareholder-approved bylaw or agreement, provided further that no person shall
thereby be indemnified against conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;351.355(8) of the GBCL provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
or another arrangement 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, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him or her 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 against such liability under the provisions of that section. The insurance or other
arrangement, including self-insurance, may be procured within the corporation or with any insurer
or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. That section also provides that in
the absence of fraud the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the terms and conditions of the
insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in an
arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall
not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability on any ground
regardless of whether directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance
arrangement.

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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
State Law
The Registrant is a Missouri corporation. Sections 351.355(1) and (2) of The General and
Business Corporation Law of Missouri (the "GBCL") provide 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 (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, except that, in the case of an action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation, no person shall be indemnified as to any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for proper expenses.
Section 351.355(3) of the GBCL provides that, except as otherwise provided in the
corporation's Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, to the extent a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation has been successful in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.
Section 351.355(7) of the GBCL provides that a corporation may provide additional
indemnification other than as authorized by other subsections, provided such additional
indemnification is authorized by the corporation's Articles of Incorporation or an amendment
thereto or by a shareholder-approved bylaw or agreement, provided further that no person shall
thereby be indemnified against conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.
Section 351.355(8) of the GBCL provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
or another arrangement 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, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him or her 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 against such liability under the provisions of that section. The insurance or other
arrangement, including self-insurance, may be procured within the corporation or with any insurer
or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. That section also provides that in
the absence of fraud the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the terms and conditions of the
insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in an
arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall
not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability on any ground
regardless of whether directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance
arrangement.
Restated Articles of Incorporation
4
Table of Contents
Pursuant to Article Eleven of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, the
Registrant shall indemnify any person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any
subsidiary, or who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary as a
director, officer, agent, employee, partner or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, to the full extent specified by Section 351.355 of the GBCL.
The Registrant also shall indemnify each of them against all expenses (including, without
limitation, all attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by each
director or officer in connection with any claim (including without limitation any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether or not by or in the right of this corporation or any other corporation)
by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was serving the Registrant or any
subsidiary or at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary was serving in any of the
capacities referred to in the Indemnification Statute or arising out of such director's or
officer's status in any such capacity, provided that the Registrant shall not indemnify any person
from or on account of such person's conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct, or to the extent that such
indemnification shall otherwise be finally adjudged to be prohibited by applicable law.
The Registrant may, pursuant to Article Eleven, to such extent as it deems appropriate and as
may be permitted by Section 351.355 of the GBCL, indemnify any other person referred to in Section
351.355 of the GBCL against any such expenses incurred by such person in connection with any such
claim by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving the Registrant or any subsidiary, or
who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary as a director, officer,
agent, employee, partner or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or arising out of such person's status of any such capacity.
Pursuant to Article Eleven, the Registrant is authorized to give or supplement any of the
indemnifications provided therein by its Bylaws, agreement or otherwise and fund them by insurance
to the extent it deems appropriate. Pursuant to Article Eleven, all such indemnification shall
continue as to any person who has ceased to serve in any of the indicated capacities and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, devisees and personal representatives of such person.
Bylaws
Pursuant to Article XI of the Registrant's Bylaws, except as otherwise provided therein, the
Registrant shall 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, including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of
the Registrant, by reason of the fact that, such person is or was the director or officer of the
Registrant or any subsidiary thereof or is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any
subsidiary thereof who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary thereof
as a director, officer, agent, employee, partner, or trustee of another corporation, partnership,
limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses , including attorneys' fee, judgments, fines, taxes and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding
if such person's conduct is not finally adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest
or willful misconduct.
Pursuant to Article XI, the Registrant may indemnify any person to the extent it deems
appropriate, who is or was a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without
limitation, any action by or in the right of the Registrant, by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a non-officer employee, agent of the Registrant or any subsidiary thereof, or is or was a
non-officer employee, agent of the Registrant or

corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, taxes, and amounts
paid on settlement actually and reasonable incurred by such person in connection with such action,

deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of the
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 non-officer employee or agent to repay such amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Registrant as authorized in Article XI.
Pursuant to Article XI, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, advisory director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or

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 of 1933;
(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 the 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 this registration statement or any material change to such information in
this registration statement;
Provided, however
, That:
(A) the undertakings set forth in 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 reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement; and
(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 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement
7
Table of Contents
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.
(h) 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
