<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company&#146;s
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the
monetary liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty, subject to
certain exceptions. The provision does not eliminate a director&#146;s liability for
(i)&nbsp;breaches of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;the payment of unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Furthermore, the
provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission for breach of a director&#146;s fiduciary duty of care.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law permits, and in some cases requires,
a corporation to indemnify directors and officers who are or have been a party
or are threatened to be made a party to litigation against certain expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts under certain circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;XI of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for
indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors, officers,
employees, and agents to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide
specific authorization for the Company to purchase officers&#146; and directors&#146;
liability insurance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has in force an officers&#146; and directors&#146; liability insurance
policy insuring, up to specified amounts and with specified exceptions,
directors and officers and former directors and officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries against liabilities. The effect of the policy is to indemnify
such persons against losses incurred by them while acting in such capacities.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the

Statement or any material change to such information in this

<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not

incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
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.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective

Act, each filing of the Company&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 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 therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
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 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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Members of the law firm of Locke Liddell & Sapp LLP, other than attorneys
involved in the preparation of this Registration Statement, own or have an
indirect interest in Common Stock of the Company the fair market value of which
exceeds $50,000.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the
monetary liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty, subject to
certain exceptions. The provision does not eliminate a director's liability for
(i) breaches of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the payment of unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Furthermore, the
provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits, and in some cases requires,
a corporation to indemnify directors and officers who are or have been a party
or are threatened to be made a party to litigation against certain expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts under certain circumstances.
Article XI of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for
indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors, officers,
employees, and agents to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide
specific authorization for the Company to purchase officers' and directors'
liability insurance.
The Company has in force an officers' and directors' liability insurance
policy insuring, up to specified amounts and with specified exceptions,
directors and officers and former directors and officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries against liabilities. The effect of the policy is to indemnify
such persons against losses incurred by them while acting in such capacities.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The list of exhibits required by this item is set forth under the heading
INDEX TO EXHIBITS on pages II-7 and II-8 of this Registration Statement.
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 Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement;
II-2
Table of Contents
(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 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 periodic 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.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 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 therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
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 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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
