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.
Item 8.
Exhibits
.
See
Exhibit Index on page 8 hereof.
Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(
a
)
The
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(
1
)
To file,
during any period in which offers and 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 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.
(
2
)
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.
(
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
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.
(
c
)
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.
