ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Article X of the Registrant's Charter provides:

         A director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; or (iii) for unlawful distributions under Section 48-18-304 of
the TBCA. If the TBCA is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the TBCA, as so amended.

         Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.

         In addition, Article XI of the Registrant's Charter provides:

         (A) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, and (1) he or she conducted himself in good faith, (2) he
or she reasonably believed, (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity
with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in the Corporation's best
interest and, (b) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not
opposed to the Corporation's best interest, and (3) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the TBCA, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law
permitted the Corporation to provide before such amendment), against all
expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that,
except as provided in Section (C) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee
only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         (B) The right to indemnification conferred in Section A of this Article
XI shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred
in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition
(hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the TBCA
requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her
capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation,
services to an employee benefit plan) shall be made upon (1) delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of
such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise, (2)
delivery to the Corporation, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, of a written
affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard
of conduct set forth in Section A of this Article XI, and (3) a determination
that the facts would not preclude indemnification under this Article XI.

         The determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the
proceeding, (b) if a quorum cannot be obtained under the preceding clause, by
majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which
designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two
(2) or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding, (c) by
independent special legal counsel, (i) selected by the Board of Directors or its
committee in the manner described in clause (a) or (b) of this paragraph, or
(ii) if a quorum of the board cannot be obtained under clause (a) or (b) of this
paragraph, selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which
selection directors who are parties may participate) or; (d) by the
shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who
are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

         The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in Sections (A) and (B) of this Article XI shall be contract rights
and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

         (C) If a claim under Section (A) or (B) of this Article XI is not paid
in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been
received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of
expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the
indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. In
(1) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (2) in any suit by the
Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for
indemnification set forth in the TBCA. Authorization of indemnification and
evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as
the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the
determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification
and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled
to select counsel under clause (c) of the second paragraph of Section (B). In
any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to
an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an
advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of
proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such
advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the
Corporation.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         (D) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Charter, Bylaws,
agreement, vote of shareholders or Disinterested Directors, as defined in
Article XIII of this Charter, or otherwise.

         (E) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or
subsidiary or affiliate or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not
the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under the TBCA.

         (F) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement
of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of
the provisions of this Article XI with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

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:

              (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)of the
Securities Act of 1933;

                                       4

<PAGE>

              (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 the 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 pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

              (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) of this
section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed or
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference into this 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; and

         (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.

         The undersigned 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 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)-(g) Not applicable.

         (h) 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 SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the 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 court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in such Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Article X of the Registrant's Charter provides:

         A director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; or (iii) for unlawful distributions under Section 48-18-304 of
the TBCA. If the TBCA is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the TBCA, as so amended.

         Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.

         In addition, Article XI of the Registrant's Charter provides:

         (A) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, and (1) he or she conducted himself in good faith, (2) he
or she reasonably believed, (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity
with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in the Corporation's best
interest and, (b) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not
opposed to the Corporation's best interest, and (3) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the TBCA, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law
permitted the Corporation to provide before such amendment), against all
expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that,
except as provided in Section (C) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee
only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.

                                       2
(B) The right to indemnification conferred in Section A of this Article
XI shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred
in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition
(hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the TBCA
requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her
capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation,
services to an employee benefit plan) shall be made upon (1) delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of
such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise, (2)
delivery to the Corporation, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, of a written
affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard
of conduct set forth in Section A of this Article XI, and (3) a determination
that the facts would not preclude indemnification under this Article XI.

         The determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the
proceeding, (b) if a quorum cannot be obtained under the preceding clause, by
majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which
designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two
(2) or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding, (c) by
independent special legal counsel, (i) selected by the Board of Directors or its
committee in the manner described in clause (a) or (b) of this paragraph, or
(ii) if a quorum of the board cannot be obtained under clause (a) or (b) of this
paragraph, selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which
selection directors who are parties may participate) or; (d) by the
shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who
are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

         The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in Sections (A) and (B) of this Article XI shall be contract rights
and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

         (C) If a claim under Section (A) or (B) of this Article XI is not paid
in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been
received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of
expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the
indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. In
(1) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (2) in any suit by the
Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for
indemnification set forth in the TBCA. Authorization of indemnification and
evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as
the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the
determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification
and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled
to select counsel under clause (c) of the second paragraph of Section (B). In
any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to
an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an
advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of
proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such
advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the
Corporation.

                                       3
(D) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Charter, Bylaws,
agreement, vote of shareholders or Disinterested Directors, as defined in
Article XIII of this Charter, or otherwise.

         (E) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or
subsidiary or affiliate or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not
the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under the TBCA.

         (F) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement
of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of
the provisions of this Article XI with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the 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 pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

              (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) of this
section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed or
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference into this 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; and

         (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.

         The undersigned 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 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)-(g) Not applicable.

         (h) 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 SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the 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 court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in such Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
