</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;83 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law (the LBCL) provides in part that a
corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he is or was
a party or is threatened to be made a party (including any action by or in the right of the
corporation), if such action arises out of his acts on behalf of the corporation and 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification provisions of the LBCL are not exclusive; however, no corporation may
indemnify any person for willful or intentional misconduct. A corporation has the power to obtain
and maintain insurance, or to create a form of self-insurance on behalf of any person who is or was
acting for the corporation, regardless of whether the corporation has the legal authority to
indemnify the insured person against such liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification for
directors, officers, employees and agents or former directors, officers, employees and agents of
the Company to the full extent permitted by Louisiana law.
</DIV>

such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,

adjudication of such issue.

All reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the

Table of Contents
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Joseph S. Schwertz, Jr., who is providing the legal opinion attached as Exhibit 5.1
hereto, is employed by the Company as Corporate Secretary. Mr. Schwertz owns shares of common
stock, directly and as a participant in the Company's employee benefit plans, and is eligible to
receive awards under the 2007 Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 83 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law (the LBCL) provides in part that a
corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he is or was
a party or is threatened to be made a party (including any action by or in the right of the
corporation), if such action arises out of his acts on behalf of the corporation and 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.
The indemnification provisions of the LBCL are not exclusive; however, no corporation may
indemnify any person for willful or intentional misconduct. A corporation has the power to obtain
and maintain insurance, or to create a form of self-insurance on behalf of any person who is or was
acting for the corporation, regardless of whether the corporation has the legal authority to
indemnify the insured person against such liability.
The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification for
directors, officers, employees and agents or former directors, officers, employees and agents of
the Company to the full extent permitted by Louisiana law.
The Company maintains an insurance policy covering the liability of its directors and officers
for actions taken in their official capacity.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provision
or otherwise, the Company 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.
Item 8. Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The Company 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
2
Table of Contents
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 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) of this section do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-8, and 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement; and
(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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.
