        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.</font></div>

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
        THIRTEEN.
(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 THIRTEEN. 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
        THIRTEEN 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 THIRTEEN after the date of approval of this ARTICLE
        THIRTEEN 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 THIRTEEN.
(d)
Amendment
.
        This ARTICLE THIRTEEN 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 7th day
        of
        December, 2007.
