Item
      6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Missouri
      Revised Statutes ("RSMo") Section 351.355 (2006) provides as follows:
1.
A
      corporation created under the laws of this state may indemnify any person who
      was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
      or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
      administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of
      the
      corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
      employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
      the
      corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
      partnership, joint
venture,
      trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
      including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
      actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action,
      suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
      she
      reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
      corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
      reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination
      of
      any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
      or
      upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create
      a
      presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
      he
      or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
      the
      corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
      reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
2.
The
      corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
      to
      be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
      in
      the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
      the
      fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
      corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
      venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
      and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her
      in
      connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she
      acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
      or
      not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no
      indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
      which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
      misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless
      and
      only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
      determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and
      in
      view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
      entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
3.
Except
      as
      otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or the bylaws, to the extent
      that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been
      successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or
      proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2 of this section, or in defense
      of
      any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against
      expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him
      or
      her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
4.
Any
      indemnification under subsections 1 and 2 of this section, unless ordered by
      a
      court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
      case
      upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
      or
      agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable
      standard of conduct set forth in this section. The determination shall be made
      by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
      who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding, or if such a quorum
      is
      not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so
      directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the
      shareholders.
5.
Expenses
      incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
      action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the
      final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the board
      of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
      of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it
      shall
      ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the
      corporation as authorized in this section.
6.
The
      indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any
      other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the
      articles of incorporation or bylaws or any agreement, vote of shareholders
      or
      disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official
      capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
      shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
      or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
      administrators of such a person.
7.
A
      corporation created under the laws of this state shall have the power to give
      any further indemnity, in addition to the indemnity authorized or contemplated
      under other subsections of this section, including subsection 6, to any person
      who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or to any person who
      is or
      was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
      or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
      enterprise, provided such further indemnity is either (i) authorized, directed,
      or provided for in the articles of incorporation of the corporation or any
      duly
      adopted amendment thereof or (ii) is authorized, directed, or provided for
      in
      any bylaw or agreement of the corporation which has been adopted by a vote
      of
      the shareholders of the corporation, and provided further that no such indemnity
      shall indemnify any person from or on account of such person's conduct which
      was
      finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest
      or
      willful misconduct. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to limit the
      power of the corporation under subsection 6 of this section to enact bylaws
      or
      to enter into agreements without shareholder adoption of the same.
8.
The
      corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf
      of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
      corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
      venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
      or
      her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his
      or
      her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
      indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this
      section. Without limiting the power of the corporation to procure or maintain
      any kind of insurance or other arrangement the corporation may for the benefit
      of persons indemnified by the corporation create a trust fund, establish any
      form of self insurance, secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security
      interest or other lien on the assets of the corporation, or establish a letter
      of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement. The insurance or other arrangement
      may be procured, maintained, or established within the corporation or with
      any
      insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the board of directors regardless
      of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other
      person are owned in whole or in part by the corporation. In the absence of
      fraud
      the judgment of the board of directors as to the terms and conditions of the
      insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person
      participating in an arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or
      arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the directors approving
      the insurance or arrangement to liability on any ground regardless of whether
      directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance
      arrangement.
9.
Any
      provision of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of
      this section shall apply to all existing and new domestic corporations,
      including but not limited to banks, trust companies, insurance companies,
      building and loan associations, savings bank and safe deposit companies,
      mortgage loan companies, corporations formed for benevolent, religious,
      scientific or educational purposes and nonprofit corporations.
10.
For
      the
      purpose of this section, references to "the corporation" include all constituent
      corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting
      or
surviving
      corporation so that any person who is or
      was a director, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent corporation
      or
      is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
      officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
      trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions
      of this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he
      or
      she would if he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in
      the
      same capacity.
11.
For
      purposes of this section, the term "other enterprise" shall include employee
      benefit plans; the term "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on
      a
      person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and the term "serving at the
      request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer,
      employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves
      services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an
      employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who
      acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
      the
      interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
      shall
      be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the
      corporation" as referred to in this section.
The
      officers and directors of the Company have entered into indemnification
      agreements with the Company indemnifying such officers and directors to the
      extent allowed under the above RSMo Section 351.355 (2005).
Article
      XIII of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provides as follows:
ARTICLE
      THIRTEENTH.
(a)
Right
      to Indemnification.
Each
      person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
      investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
      officer of the Company or is or was an employee of the Company acting within
      the
      scope and course of his or her employment or is or was serving at the request
      of
      the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
      or
      of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
      with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless
      by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by The Missouri General and
      Business Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended,
      against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
      fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid to or to be paid in
      settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
      therewith. The Company may in its discretion by action of its Board of Directors
      provide indemnification to agents of the Company as provided for in this ARTICLE
      THIRTEENTH. Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
      to
      be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
      his
      or her heirs, executors and administrators.
(b)
Rights
      Not Exclusive
.
      The
      indemnification and other rights provided by this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH shall
      not
      be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled under
      any applicable law, By-laws of the Company, agreement, vote of shareholders
      or
      disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
      official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding the
      office of director or officer, and the Company is hereby expressly authorized
      by
      the shareholders of the Company to enter into agreements with its directors
      and
      officers which provide greater indemnification rights than that generally
      provided by The Missouri General and Business Corporation Law; provided,
      however, that no such further indemnity shall indemnify any person from or
      on
      account of such director's or officer's conduct which was finally adjudged
      to
      have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.
      Any such agreement providing for further indemnity entered into
pursuant
      to this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH after the date of approval of this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH
      by the Company's shareholders need not be further approved by the shareholders
      of the Company in order to be fully effective and enforceable.
(c)
Insurance
.
      The
      Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who was
      or
      is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or was or is serving
      at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
      another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
      any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any such capacity,
      or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would
      have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
      provisions of this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH.
(d)
Amendment
.
      This
      ARTICLE THIRTEENTH may be hereafter amended or repealed; however, no amendment
      or repeal shall reduce, terminate or otherwise adversely affect the right of
      a
      person entitled to obtain indemnification or an advance of expenses with respect
      to an action, suit or proceeding that pertains to or arises out of actions
      or
      omissions that occur prior to the later of (a) the effective date of such
      amendment or repeal; (b) the expiration date of such person's then current
      term
      of office with, or service for, the Company (provided such person has a stated
      term of office or service and completes such term); or (c) the effective date
      such person resigns his or her office or terminates his or her service (provided
      such person has a stated term of office or service but resigns prior to the
      expiration of such term).
Pursuant
      to RsMO Section 351.355 and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the
      Company maintains directors' and officers' liability coverage.

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 in Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
      1933;
(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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set froth 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)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
      registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be
      included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
      reports filed with or furnished to Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
      Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
      incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
(2)
      That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
      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; and
(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 the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to
      any
      purchaser:
(i)
      If
      the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
      Each
      prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed
      to
      be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was
      deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
      Each
      prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7)
      as
      part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
      offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose
      of
      providing the information
required
      by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of
      and
      included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form
      of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
      contract of sale of 314 securities in the offering described in the prospectus.
      As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person
      that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new
      effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in
      the
      registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of
      such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
      offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
      statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made
      in a
      document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
      statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as
      to a
      purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date,
      supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
      or
      prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
      document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)
      That,
      for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
      Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
      undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
      of
      the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless
      of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if
      the
      securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of the following
      communication, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
      and
      will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
      purchaser:
(i)
      any
      preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating
      to
      the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
      any
      free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
      the
      undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
      Registrant;
(iii)
      the
      portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
      material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided
      by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
      any
      other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
      Registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
The
      undersigned Registrant hereby further 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 of 1933
      may
      be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
      pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, 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) 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 Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
      to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant
      certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
      requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
      statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
      authorized in the city of Kansas City, State of Missouri, on this 9th day of
      May, 2007.
