<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Section<font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;<i><b>DGCL</b></i>&rdquo;) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation &ndash; a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&rsquo;s charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.</font></p>

Article&nbsp;Eleven of Registrant&rsquo;s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (&ldquo;<i><b>Certificate of Incorporation</b></i>&rdquo;) eliminates the liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).</font></p>

Such right is a contract right and, as such, runs to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of Registrant or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of Registrant while such Article Ten is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of such Article Ten may be prospective only and will not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of Registrant with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to such Article Ten. In the event of the death of any individual having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right inures to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

This item is inapplicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The legality of the issue of the shares of the Company
's common stock offered hereunder has been passed upon for the Company by Lewis Rice LLC, St. Louis, Missouri.
Item 6. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "
DGCL
") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation – a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as Registrant, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of his or her fiduciary duties. Article Eleven of Registrant's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("
Certificate of Incorporation
") eliminates the liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
Article
Ten of the Certificate of Incorporation requires indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law of any individual who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she: (i) is or was a director or officer of Registrant; or (ii) while a director or officer of Registrant is or was serving at the request of Registrant as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic person. Such right is a contract right and, as such, runs to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of Registrant or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of Registrant while such Article Ten is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of such Article Ten may be prospective only and will not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of Registrant with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to such Article Ten. In the event of the death of any individual having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right inures to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives. The rights conferred by such Article Ten are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of shareholders or directors, agreement or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
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 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;
(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;
P
rovided, however
, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and
(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.
(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)
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of 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, 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.
Signatures
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 St. Louis, State of Missouri, on November 9, 2017.
