Code (the &#x201C;</font><font style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000">TBOC</font><font style="color: #000000">&#x201D;)&#xA0;permits
a Texas corporation to limit the personal liability of directors to
it or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission
in a director&#x2019;s capacity as director. Under the provisions of
Chapter 8 of the TBOC, we may indemnify our directors, officers,
employees and agents and purchase and maintain liability insurance
for those persons. Chapter 8 of the TBOC provides that any director
or officer of a Texas corporation may be indemnified against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by him or her in connection with or in defending
any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is a party by
reason of his or her position. With respect to any proceeding
arising from actions taken in his or her official capacity as a
director or officer, he or she may be indemnified so long as it
shall be determined that he or she conducted himself in good faith
and that he or she reasonably believed that such conduct was in the
corporation&#x2019;s best interests. In cases not concerning conduct
in his or her official capacity as a director or officer, a
director may be indemnified as long as he or she reasonably
believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the
corporation&#x2019;s best interests. In the case of any criminal
proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified if he or she
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding, such
indemnification is mandatory.</font></font></div>

indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of

otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding)&#xA0;is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, our company 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 7.001
of the Texas Business Organizations
Code (the "
TBOC
") permits
a Texas corporation to limit the personal liability of directors to
it or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission
in a director's capacity as director. Under the provisions of
Chapter 8 of the TBOC, we may indemnify our directors, officers,
employees and agents and purchase and maintain liability insurance
for those persons. Chapter 8 of the TBOC provides that any director
or officer of a Texas corporation may be indemnified against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by him or her in connection with or in defending
any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is a party by
reason of his or her position. With respect to any proceeding
arising from actions taken in his or her official capacity as a
director or officer, he or she may be indemnified so long as it
shall be determined that he or she conducted himself in good faith
and that he or she reasonably believed that such conduct was in the
corporation's best interests. In cases not concerning conduct
in his or her official capacity as a director or officer, a
director may be indemnified as long as he or she reasonably
believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the
corporation's best interests. In the case of any criminal
proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified if he or she
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding, such
indemnification is mandatory.
Our
Certificate of Formation, as amended, provides that our directors
are not personally liable to our shareholders or us for monetary
damages for an act or omission in their capacity as a director. A
director may, however, be found liable for, and we may be
prohibited from indemnifying them against:
●
any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our shareholders
or us;
●
acts
or omissions not in good faith that constitute a breach of the
director's duty to the Company;
●
acts
or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law;
●
any
transaction from which the director receives an improper benefit;
or
●
acts
or omissions for which the liability is expressly provided by an
applicable statute.
Our
Certificate of Formation, as amended, also provides that we will
indemnify our directors, and may indemnify our agents, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Texas law from any expenses,
liabilities or other matters. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company under
our Certificate of Formation, as amended, it is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
Indemnification Agreements
We
have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our
officers and directors pursuant to which we have agreed, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the
specified terms and conditions set forth in each agreement, to
indemnify a director or officer who acts on our behalf and is made
or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding
against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
that are incurred by such officer or director in connection with
the action or proceeding. The indemnification provisions apply
whether the action was instituted by a third party or by us. We
also maintain insurance on behalf of our officers and directors
that provides coverage for expenses and liabilities incurred by
them in their capacities as officers and directors.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The
Company 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;
(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 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;
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.
However,
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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 Company pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in 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.
(b) The
undersigned hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Company'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
this 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 Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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, our company 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
