<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act, the registrant&#146;s
Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that directors of the registrant
shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for (i)&nbsp;any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
registrant or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;any act or omission not in good faith or
which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;any
transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit, (iv)
any act or omission where the liability of the director is expressly provided
by statute, or (v)&nbsp;any act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment
of a dividend. In addition, the registrant&#146;s Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Restated Bylaws include certain provisions permitted by the
Texas Business Corporation Act whereby directors, officers, employees, and
agents of the registrant generally are to be indemnified against certain
liabilities to the fullest extent authorized by the Texas Business Corporation
Act. Furthermore, the employment agreements between the
registrant and John A. Ryan (the registrant&#146;s chairman and chief
executive officer) and Richard Spurr (the registrant&#146;s president
and chief operating officer), dated November&nbsp;14, 2001 and
January&nbsp;20, 2004, respectively, provide Messrs.&nbsp;Ryan and
Spurr with a contractual right to
indemnification as an officer and/or director of the registrant as set forth in
Article&nbsp;VII of the registrant&#146;s Restated Bylaws, dated September&nbsp;14, 1999. The
registrant maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and executive
officers insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their
capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act, the registrant's
Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that directors of the registrant
shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
registrant or its shareholders, (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or
which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) any
transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit, (iv)
any act or omission where the liability of the director is expressly provided
by statute, or (v) any act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment
of a dividend. In addition, the registrant's Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Restated Bylaws include certain provisions permitted by the
Texas Business Corporation Act whereby directors, officers, employees, and
agents of the registrant generally are to be indemnified against certain
liabilities to the fullest extent authorized by the Texas Business Corporation
Act. Furthermore, the employment agreements between the
registrant and John A. Ryan (the registrant's chairman and chief
executive officer) and Richard Spurr (the registrant's president
and chief operating officer), dated November 14, 2001 and
January 20, 2004, respectively, provide Messrs. Ryan and
Spurr with a contractual right to
indemnification as an officer and/or director of the registrant as set forth in
Article VII of the registrant's Restated Bylaws, dated September 14, 1999. The
registrant maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and executive
officers insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their
capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Index to
Exhibits on page II-7 of this registration statement, which Index is
incorporated herein by reference.
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 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
II-3
Table of Contents
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.
(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,
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 Section
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 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
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 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 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.
