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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by 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
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

governing person, or delegate, who was, is or is threatened to be made a named
defendant or respondent in a proceeding if it is determined that the person:
(i) conducted himself in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed that (a) in the
case of conduct in his official capacity that his
2
conduct was in the
corporation's best interest and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at
least not opposed to the corporation's best interest; and (iii) in the case of
any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.  However, if the person is
found liable to the corporation, or if the person is found liable on the basis
that he received an improper personal benefit, indemnification under Texas law
is limited to the reimbursement of reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
person in connection with the proceedings and does not include a judgment, a
penalty, a fine, and an excise or similar tax, and no indemnification will be
available if the person is found liable for willful or intentional misconduct,
breach of the person's duty of loyalty, or an act or omission not committed in
good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the
corporation.  Under Texas law,
indemnification by the corporation is mandatory if the person is wholly
successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.
The Company's Certificate of Formation obligate the
Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
under Texas law. Additionally, the Company's Certificate of Formation and
Bylaws grant it the authority to the maximum extent permitted by Texas law to
purchase and maintain insurance providing such indemnification.

Item 9.  Undertakings
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:
(a)
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;
additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2)
That, for purposes 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.
(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)
For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
3
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 an initial bona
fide offering thereof.
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 Securities and Exchange 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 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
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
