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

The
Registrant is permitted by Art. 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act
(the "TBCA"), subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to
indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant
or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director or officer
of the Registrant against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar
taxes), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including court costs and
attorneys' fees) actually incurred by the person in connection with the
proceeding. The Registrant is required by Art. 2.02-1 of the TBCA to indemnify a
director or officer against reasonable expenses (including court costs and
attorneys' fees) incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he is
a named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he

proceeding. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions
is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be
entitled.

attorneys' fees) actually incurred by any such person who was, is or is
threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because
the person is or was a director or officer and is required to advance to such
person reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection therewith.

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:
(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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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
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 Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
provided
further, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is for an offering of asset-backed securities on Form S-1
or Form S-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment is provided pursuant to Item 1100(c) of Regulation AB.
(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)
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 (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 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 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, the registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all 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 this 6
