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)&nbsp;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

provisions permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act whereby its directors, officers,
employees, and agents generally are to be indemnified against certain liabilities to the fullest
extent authorized by the Texas Business Corporation Act. Furthermore, agreements between the

not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such

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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 Securities 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 its directors 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 its directors, officers,
employees, and agents generally are to be indemnified against certain liabilities to the fullest
extent authorized by the Texas Business Corporation Act. Furthermore, agreements between the
registrant and John A. Ryan (the registrant's chairman) and Richard D. Spurr (the registrant's
chief executive officer, 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 August 1, 2002. 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 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Index to Exhibits on page 6 of
this registration statement, which Index is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(2) 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.
(3) 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)(i)(1) and (a)(i)(2) 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 registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 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 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
