as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, or while serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee, agent,
or similar functionary of another enterprise, may be indemnified by the
corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses if it is determined that such person has conducted himself in good
faith and reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity
with the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; COLOR: #000000">&#8217;</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; COLOR: #000000">s best interests, and in all other

reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The TBCA provides that a
corporation may advance expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending
a suit or other similar proceeding. A Texas corporation is also permitted to
indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents who are not
directors to such extent as may be provided by its articles of incorporation,
by-laws, action of board of directors, a contract, or required by common law.
Indemnification of a person found liable to the corporation or found liable on
the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him is limited to
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the
proceeding and shall not be made if the person is found liable for willful or
intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.
Indemnification is mandatory, however, in the case of such person being wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the
proceeding.</font></font></div>

Item 6.  Indemnification of
Directors and Officers
The following summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Texas
Business Corporation Act
(the
"
TBCA
"
), the Registrant
'
s
Restated
Articles of Incorporation
, as amended,
and
the
Registrant
'
s
Fourth Amended and Restated
By-Laws, each of which contain
provisions for indemnification of KCI
'
s directors and
officers.
Article 2.02-1 of the
TBCA
provides generally that a person sued
as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, or while serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee, agent,
or similar functionary of another enterprise, may be indemnified by the
corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses if it is determined that such person has conducted himself in good
faith and reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity
with the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation
'
s best interests, and in all other
cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation
'
s best interests and, in the case of any
criminal proceeding,
that
such person
had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The TBCA provides that a
corporation may advance expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending
a suit or other similar proceeding. A Texas corporation is also permitted to
indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents who are not
directors to such extent as may be provided by its articles of incorporation,
by-laws, action of board of directors, a contract, or required by common law.
Indemnification of a person found liable to the corporation or found liable on
the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him is limited to
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the
proceeding and shall not be made if the person is found liable for willful or
intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.
Indemnification is mandatory, however, in the case of such person being wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the
proceeding.
Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA also
authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee agent or similar functionary of another entity or enterprise
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a
capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under Article
2.02-1.
Article 1302-7.06 of the Texas
Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act, or TMCLA, provides that a
corporation
'
s articles of incorporation may limit or
eliminate
a
director
'
s liability for monetary damages to the
corporation or its shareholders for an act or omission in the
director
'
s capacity as a director, except that no
limitation or elimination of liability is permitted to the extent the director
is found liable for a breach of the duty of loyalty, an act or omission not in
good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law, a transaction involving an improper personal benefit to the director, or an
act or omission for which liability is expressly provided by an applicable
statute.
Similarly, Article Eight of
KCI
'
s articles of incorporation states that,
to the extent permitted by the TBCA and/or the TMCLA, as each is currently in
effect or as each may be hereinafter modified, a director of KCI shall not be
personally liable to KCI or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or
omission in the director
'
s capacity as a director, except for
liability for (a) a breach of the director
'
s duty of loyalty to KCI or its
shareholders, (b) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach
of duty of the
2
director to KCI or an act or omission
that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (c) a
transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not
the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the
director
'
s office, or (d) an act or omission for
which the liability for the director is expressly provided for by
statute.
Article Twelve of KCI
'
s articles of incorporation states that
KCI shall indemnify its directors to the fullest extent provided by the
TBCA.
Article VIII, Section 2 of
KCI
'
s by-laws provides that,
KCI
shall indemnify a person who was, is or
is threatened to be made a name defendant or respondent in a proceeding because
the person is or was a director only if it is determined, in accordance with
the by-laws
, that the person (a) conducted himself
or herself in good faith; (b) reasonably believed: (1) in the case of conduct in
the official capacity as a director of
KCI
, that the conduct was in
KCI'
s best interests, and (ii) in all other
cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to
KCI'
s best interests; and (iii) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful
.
Article VIII, Section 10 of
KCI
'
s by-laws provides that KCI will advance
expenses to a present director after KCI receives a written affirmation by such
director of a good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under the by-laws has been met and a written undertaking by or
on behalf of the director to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is
ultimately determined that the director has not met that standard or if it is
ultimately determined that indemnification of the director against such expenses
is otherwise prohibited by the by-laws. In addition, KCI may indemnify and
advance expenses to a former director or officer, or a present or former
employee or agent of KCI on any terms the board of directors considers
appropriate.
Article VIII, Section 16 of
KCI
'
s by-laws provides that KCI
'
s board of directors may cause KCI to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any present or past director,
officer, employee or agent (including any such person who is serving, at
KCI
'
s request, in a similar or related
capacity for another entity), insuring against any liability asserted against
such person incurred in the capacity of such position or arising out of such
status, regardless of whether KCI would have the power to indemnify such
person.
KCI maintains
directors
'
and officers
'
liability insurance and intends to
continue to maintain this insurance in the future.
In addition, KCI has entered into
an indemnity agreement with each of KCI
'
s directors and executive officers
pursuant to which KCI
has
agree
d
to indemnify each director and
executive officer who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any proceeding
because the person is or was one of KCI
'
s directors, officers or agents, to the
fullest extent permitted by Texas law from and against any expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such proceeding.

to the
Registrant's Current Report on
      Form 8-K,
filed on
May
23,
  2008).
Item
9.  Undertakings
1. The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:
(a)
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;
(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 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 a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
      the effective registration statement; and
(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
, that paragraphs
(a)(i) and (a)(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 Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
4
(b)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
      each 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.
(c)
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.
(d)
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 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 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.
(e)
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 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 any 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.
