      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 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 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>

Item
      6.
Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
.
Section
      351.355 of The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri provides that
      a
      corporation created under the laws of Missouri 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 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.
In
      addition, under Missouri corporate law 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 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 can 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. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or
      criminal 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.
Furthermore,
      under Missouri corporate law, corporations may purchase and maintain insurance
      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
      and incurred by him 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
      against such liability under Missouri law.
The
      By-Laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of directors, officers
      and, under certain circumstances, employees and agents of the Registrant to
      the
      full extent and under the circumstances permitted by The General and Business
      Corporation Law of Missouri.
The
      Board
      of Directors has entered into Indemnification Agreements with certain members
      of
      its directors and elected officers and may enter into such agreements with
      future directors and elected officers and with certain other employees and
      agents indemnifying them under certain circumstances. Pursuant to these
      Indemnification Agreements, the Registrant agrees to hold harmless each such
      director and elected officer, and his or her respective heirs, successors and
      estate, generally to the full extent
permitted
      by The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri, as it may be amended
      from time to time. Indemnification will not be provided under certain
      circumstances enumerated in the Indemnification Agreements.
Insofar
      as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
      may
      be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant
      pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that
      in
      the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
      is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
      therefore unenforceable.

      paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement
      is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be
      included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
      periodic reports filed with or furnished to the 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.

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.

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.
(

The
      Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
      under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant'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 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.
(

)
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 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 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.
