a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he or she is or was a
director or officer, and if that person has been wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding, then Article 2.02 1 <i><font style="font-style:italic;">requires</font></i> us to indemnify him or her against reasonable
expenses (including court costs and attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by him or her in
connection with the proceeding.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Act provides that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a
person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise. Our Bylaws provide for the
indemnification by the company of its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the Act. In addition, as permitted by Article 1302 7.06 of
the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act, we have provided in our Articles
of Incorporation that our directors shall not be liable to us or our
shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in a director&#146;s
capacity as our director.</font></p>

controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the TBCA, the Registrant&#146;s
Articles of Incorporation or the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws, or otherwise, the
Registrant 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 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) as 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 of whether such indemnification by it is
against the public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to Article 2.02 1 of the Texas Business
Corporation Act (the "Act") and subject to the procedures and limitations
therein, our company
may
indemnify
any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or
respondent in a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer,
against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees)
which are incurred by that person in connection with the proceeding. Such
indemnification is permissible only if it is determined the person (i)
conducted himself or herself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed, in the
case of conduct in his or her official capacity as a director of the
corporation, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and in all
other cases, that his or her conduct was not opposed to our best interests, and
(iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director or officer is made
a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he or she is or was a
director or officer, and if that person has been wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding, then Article 2.02 1
requires
us to indemnify him or her against reasonable
expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by him or her in
connection with the proceeding.
The Act provides that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a
person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise. Our Bylaws provide for the
indemnification by the company of its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the Act. In addition, as permitted by Article 1302 7.06 of
the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act, we have provided in our Articles
of Incorporation that our directors shall not be liable to us or our
shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in a director's
capacity as our director.
We have also entered into
indemnification agreements with certain of our independent directors. The
indemnification agreements provide that we shall indemnify these certain
directors against certain liabilities (including settlements) and expenses
(including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in
3
connection with any threatened or pending legal actions, proceedings or
investigations to which any of them is, or is threatened to be, made a party by
reason of his or her status as our director, officer or agent, to the fullest
extent provided under the Act.

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;
(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; and
(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 registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant 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
4
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 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 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.
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the TBCA, the Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation or the Registrant's Bylaws, or otherwise, the
Registrant 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 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) as 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 of whether such indemnification by it is
against the public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
