PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
This Registration Statement is filed pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 to register the issuance of an additional 1,200,000 of our common units under the Copano Energy, L.L.C. Long-Term Incentive Plan.
We previously filed registration statements on Form S-8 on February 11, 2005 (Reg. No. 333-122737) and November 17, 2005 (Reg. No. 333-129781) covering 800,000 and 1,700,000 common units, respectively (or 1,600,000 and 3,400,000 common units, respectively, following a March 30, 2007 two-for-one common unit split), authorized for issuance under the Plan.  Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of those earlier registration statements, including the periodic and current reports that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the effectiveness of the earlier registration statement, are incorporated herein by reference except to the extent supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subject to any terms set forth in our limited liability company agreement, Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
Pursuant to Section 7.7 of our limited liability company agreement, we will generally agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liability incurred in their role as directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law so long as the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.  In addition, directors will not be indemnified for breach of the duty of loyalty or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  This indemnification obligation may include the advancement of expenses (including attorneys' fees).  We may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such people in connection with our activities or that person's activities on behalf of the company, regardless of whether we would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of our limited liability company agreement.  Any such indemnification obligation will be made only out of our assets so that our members will not be personally liable for such indemnification.
Pursuant to Section 14.9 of our limited liability company agreement, in the event of a registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we will generally indemnify certain existing investors and underwriters for losses related to untrue statement of material fact in certain documents filed in connection with such registration.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers.  The indemnification agreements provide each officer and director with the maximum indemnification protection permitted under Delaware law with respect to actions taken in his or her capacity as a director or officer.
