<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, as amended, authorizes the Company to
indemnify our officers and directors and certain other persons in certain instances. In addition,
Article&nbsp;2.02-1 and our Bylaws require that we indemnify any director or officer against reasonable
expenses he incurs in connection with a wholly successful defense of a proceeding in which he is a
named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer. This indemnification
will only occur with the determination that the person (i)&nbsp;conducted himself in good faith, (ii)
reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as our director or officer,
that his conduct was in our best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least
not opposed to our best interests, and (iii), in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, if the director or officer is found
liable to us or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, the
indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the
proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been
found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;2.02-1 and our Bylaws generally require determinations that the person to be
indemnified has satisfied the prescribed conduct and belief standards, as determined by directors
who are not themselves then named defendants or respondents in the proceeding, by a special legal
counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, or by shareholders in a vote
that excludes the shares held by directors and officers who are named defendants or respondents in
the proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws further require us to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director or officer
in connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding at a time
when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding. We must also advance reasonable
expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of a good faith affirmation by him that he has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking to repay such
advances if it is ultimately determined that he has not met those requirements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent to
such further extent as may be consistent with law, including persons serving another entity in
various capacities at our request. The Bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance
or make other arrangements on behalf of directors, officers, employees, and agents against or in
respect of liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any indemnification of or advance of expenses to a director under the Bylaws or any statute
must be reported in writing to shareholders not later than the notice of the next shareholders&#146;
meeting or the next submission to shareholders of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any
event, within the 12-month period immediately following the indemnification or advance.

Securities Act. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." The Company will pay all expenses incident to the
offering and sale of the Shares to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters,
brokers, dealers, or agents. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares

There is no assurance that any of the selling shareholders will sell any of the Shares or that
all of the Shares will be sold. The Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the

be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. This Prospectus does not constitute
an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Shares offered hereby, nor shall
there be any sale of the Shares, to any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make
such offer, solicitation, or sale. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale made

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This Prospectus relates to the Shares that the selling shareholders have acquired or will
acquire under the 2001 Plan. Each of the selling shareholders is a director or executive officer
of the Company. The Shares to which this Prospectus relates may be "control securities" within the
meaning of General Instruction C to Form S-8. Neither the statements in this Prospectus or in the
related registration statement, nor any delivery of this Prospectus in connection with the
3
disposition of Shares by any of the selling shareholders, will be an admission by the Company or
any of the selling shareholders that the selling shareholder is in a control relationship with the
Company.
The table attached as Annex A sets forth, with respect to the selling shareholders and based
on the information available to us as of the date thereof, the name and position of each selling
shareholder, the number of shares of Common Stock owned, the number of Shares available for resale
under this Prospectus, and the number and percent of our outstanding shares of Common Stock that
will be owned after giving effect to this offering. We do not know whether any of the selling
shareholders will sell any or all of the Shares offered by this Prospectus. The inclusion of
Shares in the table in Annex A does not constitute a commitment to sell any Shares by any of the
selling shareholders named therein.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any of the Shares by the
selling shareholders.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders or by their respective
pledgees, donees, transferees, or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on the
NASDAQ Global Market, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then
prevailing, at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The
Shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
o
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
o
A block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
o
Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for
its account pursuant to this Prospectus;
o
An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and
o
Face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchasers with or without a
broker-dealer.
In effecting sales of the Shares, broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may
arrange for the participation of other broker-dealers. Broker-dealers may receive compensation in
the form of underwriting discounts or commissions from the selling shareholders in amounts to be
negotiated immediately prior to the sale. Such broker-dealers and any other participating
broker-dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with such sales.
4
Once the Company has been notified by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement has
been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Shares through a block trade, exchange or
secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker-dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be
filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing: the participating
broker-dealer; the number of Shares involved; the price at which such Shares were sold; the
commissions paid or discounts allowed to such broker-dealer, where applicable; that such
broker-dealer did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated
by reference in this Prospectus (as supplemented); and other facts material to the transaction.
In addition to any sales of the Shares under this Prospectus, the selling shareholders may, at
the same time, sell any shares of Common Stock owned by them, including the Shares covered by this
Prospectus, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
There is no assurance that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the Shares offered
hereby.
The Company will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale of the Shares pursuant to

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, as amended, authorizes the Company to
indemnify our officers and directors and certain other persons in certain instances. In addition,
Article 2.02-1 and our Bylaws require that we indemnify any director or officer against reasonable
expenses he incurs in connection with a wholly successful defense of a proceeding in which he is a
named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer. This indemnification
will only occur with the determination that the person (i) conducted himself in good faith, (ii)
reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as our director or officer,
that his conduct was in our best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least
not opposed to our best interests, and (iii), in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, if the director or officer is found
liable to us or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, the
indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the
proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been
found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company.
Article 2.02-1 and our Bylaws generally require determinations that the person to be
indemnified has satisfied the prescribed conduct and belief standards, as determined by directors
who are not themselves then named defendants or respondents in the proceeding, by a special legal
counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, or by shareholders in a vote
that excludes the shares held by directors and officers who are named defendants or respondents in
the proceeding.
The Bylaws further require us to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director or officer
in connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding at a time
when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding. We must also advance reasonable
expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of a good faith affirmation by him that he has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking to repay such
advances if it is ultimately determined that he has not met those requirements.
The Bylaws permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent to
such further extent as may be consistent with law, including persons serving another entity in
various capacities at our request. The Bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance
or make other arrangements on behalf of directors, officers, employees, and agents against or in
respect of liabilities.
Any indemnification of or advance of expenses to a director under the Bylaws or any statute
must be reported in writing to shareholders not later than the notice of the next shareholders'
meeting or the next submission to shareholders of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any
event, within the 12-month period immediately following the indemnification or advance.

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:
II-3
(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; 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) do not apply to this
Registration Statement on Form S-8 if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission 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
Securities 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; and
(3)
To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the
securities being 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 Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) 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 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
II-4
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 Dallas, State of Texas, on the 14th day of August, 2009.
