ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes Delaware
corporations to limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation
or its stockholders to money damages, except for (a) breaches of a director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b) acts or omissions
not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
the law; (c) the payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions; or (d) transactions in which the director received an improper
personal benefit. The DGCL, unless limited by the corporation's charter,
provides that indemnification is mandatory to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent, acting in good faith, and in a manner that he or she
reasonably believes to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, there was no
reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, or has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding covered by the
indemnification statute. The DGCL generally permits indemnification for expenses
incurred in the defense or settlement of derivative or third party actions,
provided that there is a determination by a majority vote of the directors who
are not parties to the action even though less than a quorum, or by a committee
of directors designated by a majority vote of the directors, even though less
than a quorum, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or by the stockholders, that the person seeking indemnification
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation, or in a criminal proceeding that the
person had no reason to believe that his or her conduct to be unlawful. Without
court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any
derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable. The DGCL states that
the indemnification provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

         Article Ninth of the Charter of the Company limits the liability of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Article
Ninth of the Charter of the Company also authorizes the Company to enter into
contracts, adopt bylaws or resolutions to provide for the indemnification of the
Company's directors and officers. Section 33 of the Company's bylaws provides
for the indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, the Company's directors and officers
are covered by certain insurance policies maintained by the Company.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.

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 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;

                           (2) That, for the purpose of determining any
                  liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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,
         as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
         Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as mended,
         (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's



<PAGE>   5

         annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934) 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 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 of whether such indemnification
         by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
         1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
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 the 29th day of
August, 2000.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes Delaware
corporations to limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation
or its stockholders to money damages, except for (a) breaches of a director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b) acts or omissions
not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
the law; (c) the payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions; or (d) transactions in which the director received an improper
personal benefit. The DGCL, unless limited by the corporation's charter,
provides that indemnification is mandatory to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent, acting in good faith, and in a manner that he or she
reasonably believes to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, there was no
reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, or has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding covered by the
indemnification statute. The DGCL generally permits indemnification for expenses
incurred in the defense or settlement of derivative or third party actions,
provided that there is a determination by a majority vote of the directors who
are not parties to the action even though less than a quorum, or by a committee
of directors designated by a majority vote of the directors, even though less
than a quorum, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or by the stockholders, that the person seeking indemnification
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation, or in a criminal proceeding that the
person had no reason to believe that his or her conduct to be unlawful. Without
court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any
derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable. The DGCL states that
the indemnification provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

         Article Ninth of the Charter of the Company limits the liability of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Article
Ninth of the Charter of the Company also authorizes the Company to enter into
contracts, adopt bylaws or resolutions to provide for the indemnification of the
Company's directors and officers. Section 33 of the Company's bylaws provides
for the indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, the Company's directors and officers
are covered by certain insurance policies maintained by the Company.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.

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 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;

                           (2) That, for the purpose of determining any
                  liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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,
         as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
         Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as mended,
         (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
5

         annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934) 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 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 of whether such indemnification
         by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
         1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
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 the 29th day of
August, 2000.
