<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section 17-6002
(a)(8) of the Kansas General Corporation Code provides that a certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 17-6424
of the Kansas General Corporation Code (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock); or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company&#146;s restated and amended certificate of incorporation contains the
provisions permitted by Section 17-6002 (a)(8) of the Kansas General
Corporation Code. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the Company&#146;s
and its stockholders&#146; rights (through stockholders&#146; derivative suits on behalf
of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations described above, however, do
not affect the ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek non-monetary
based remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for
breach of his fiduciary duty nor would such limitations limit liability under
the federal securities laws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under Section 17-6303
of the Kansas General Corporation Code, a corporation has the power under
specified circumstances to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and
agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by
a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that
they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against
expenses, judgments and other amounts incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bylaws of the
Company provide that each person who is or was or had agreed to become a
director or officer of the Company, or each such person who is or was serving
or who had agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director or officer

partnership, joint venture, trust, employee plan or other enterprise (including
the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person), will be
indemnified by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time
by the Kansas General Corporation Code as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended (but, if permitted by applicable law, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to
provide prior to such amendment). The Company may, by action of the Company
Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company, and to
persons serving as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the request of the Company, with
the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers. The Company may be required to indemnify any person seeking indemnification
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Company Board or is
a proceeding to enforce such person&#146;s claim to indemnification pursuant to the
rights granted by the Bylaws or otherwise by the Company. The right to
indemnification includes the right to be paid by the Company the expenses
incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition,
provided that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition
of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an
undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. In
addition, the Company may enter into one or more agreements with any person
providing for indemnification greater or different from that provided in the
Bylaws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the
Bylaws, if a claim for indemnification is not paid in full by the Company within
ninety days after a written claim pursuant to the preceding paragraph has been
received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, the claimant will be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting such claim. The Bylaws provide that it will be a
defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct
which makes it permissible under the Kansas General Corporation Code for the
Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of
proving such defense will be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company
(including the directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or
she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Kansas General
Corporation Code, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the
directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bylaws provide
that the right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in
defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in the
Bylaws will not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
may in the future acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. The Bylaws permit the Company to maintain insurance, at
its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability
or loss under the Kansas General Corporation Code.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section 3.1 of the
Non-Employee Directors&#146; Restricted Stock Plan provides that no member of the
Board or the Committee, and no officer or employee of the Company acting on
behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any
action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with
respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board and the Committee and any
officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect
to any such action, determination or interpretation. Accordingly, members of
the Committee and officers acting at their direction or on their behalf are
entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors pursuant to the
Company&#146;s bylaws or any agreement between the Company and its directors
providing for indemnification.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
currently has directors and officers&#146; liability insurance that insures
directors and officers of the Company with respect to claims made for alleged &#147;wrongful
acts&#148; in their roles as directors or officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The insurance also insures the Company for claims against the
Company&#146;s directors or officers in situations in which the Company has an
obligation to indemnify its directors and officers.</font></p>

against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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></h1>

Item 4. Description of
Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
Section 17-6002
(a)(8) of the Kansas General Corporation Code provides that a certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 17-6424
of the Kansas General Corporation Code (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock); or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation contains the
provisions permitted by Section 17-6002 (a)(8) of the Kansas General
Corporation Code. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the Company's
and its stockholders' rights (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf
of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations described above, however, do
not affect the ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek non-monetary
based remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for
breach of his fiduciary duty nor would such limitations limit liability under
the federal securities laws.
Under Section 17-6303
of the Kansas General Corporation Code, a corporation has the power under
specified circumstances to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and
agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by
a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that
they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against
expenses, judgments and other amounts incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding.
The Bylaws of the
Company provide that each person who is or was or had agreed to become a
director or officer of the Company, or each such person who is or was serving
or who had agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director or officer
2
of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee plan or other enterprise (including
the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person), will be
indemnified by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time
by the Kansas General Corporation Code as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended (but, if permitted by applicable law, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to
provide prior to such amendment). The Company may, by action of the Company
Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company, and to
persons serving as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the request of the Company, with
the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers. The Company may be required to indemnify any person seeking indemnification
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Company Board or is
a proceeding to enforce such person's claim to indemnification pursuant to the
rights granted by the Bylaws or otherwise by the Company. The right to
indemnification includes the right to be paid by the Company the expenses
incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition,
provided that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition
of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an
undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. In
addition, the Company may enter into one or more agreements with any person
providing for indemnification greater or different from that provided in the
Bylaws.
Pursuant to the
Bylaws, if a claim for indemnification is not paid in full by the Company within
ninety days after a written claim pursuant to the preceding paragraph has been
received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, the claimant will be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting such claim. The Bylaws provide that it will be a
defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct
which makes it permissible under the Kansas General Corporation Code for the
Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of
proving such defense will be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company
(including the directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or
she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Kansas General
Corporation Code, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the
directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.
The Bylaws provide
that the right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in
defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in the
Bylaws will not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
may in the future acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. The Bylaws permit the Company to maintain insurance, at
its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability
or loss under the Kansas General Corporation Code.
Section 3.1 of the
Non-Employee Directors' Restricted Stock Plan provides that no member of the
Board or the Committee, and no officer or employee of the Company acting on
behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any
action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with
respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board and the Committee and any
officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect
to any such action, determination or interpretation. Accordingly, members of
the Committee and officers acting at their direction or on their behalf are
entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors pursuant to the
Company's bylaws or any agreement between the Company and its directors
providing for indemnification.
The Company
currently has directors and officers' liability insurance that insures
directors and officers of the Company with respect to claims made for alleged "wrongful
acts" in their roles as directors or officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The insurance also insures the Company for claims against the
Company's directors or officers in situations in which the Company has an
obligation to indemnify its directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)           The Company 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 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;
(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 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
Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement;
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(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.
(b)           The undersigned Company hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.
