Item 4. Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Texas Business Corporation Act

     Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act ( the “TBCA”) allows a Texas corporation to indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director if it is determined that the person (1) conducted himself in good faith, (2) reasonably believed that his conduct in his official capacity as director was in the best interest of the corporation and in all other cases was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interest, and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Indemnification under Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA may be made for judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, subject to limitations provided therein. Article 2.02-1(H) of the TBCA requires indemnification of a defendant / respondent director against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.

     To the same extent as a director, Article 2.02-1(O) of the TBCA provides that an officer of the corporation shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he is a named defendant or respondent because he is or was an officer if he was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.

     In addition, Article 2.01-1 of the TBCA allows a corporation in certain circumstances to pay in advance any expenses, including attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred by such present or former officer and director in defending such proceeding.

Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act

     Article 1302-7.06 of the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act (the “TMCLA”) permits shareholders of a Texas corporation to amend its articles of incorporation to provide that directors of the corporation are not liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the directors’ capacity as directors, but such an amendment cannot eliminate or limit the liability of a director for certain types of acts or omissions set forth in Article 1302-7.06 of the TMCLA.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

     Article 8 of the Registrant’s third restated bylaws provides for the indemnification of current and former directors and officers of the Registrant to the extent permitted by Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA, and the Registrant’s articles of incorporation do not restrict the circumstances under which the Registrant is permitted or required to provide such indemnification, by insurance or otherwise. In addition, Article 13 of the Registrant’s articles of incorporation, as amended, eliminates the liability of the Registrant’s directors for monetary damages to the Registrant and its shareholders to the extent permitted by Article 1302-7.06.

Employment Agreements

     The Registrant has entered into employment agreements with certain of its officers that also provide for such indemnification and expenses and liability reimbursement. These agreements require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as officers (and with respect to Craig E. Holmes and James A. Milton, out of events, practices or representations concerning the Registrant before Mr. Holmes or Mr. Milton, as applicable, became employed by the Registrant), provided that such persons acted in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such persons had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful, and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

     Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into between the Registrant and David W. Brandenburg on November 18, 2004, the Registrant agreed to indemnify Mr. Brandenburg to the extent permitted by the Registrant’s third restated bylaws. In addition, pursuant to such letter agreement, the Registrant agreed to cause Mr. Brandenburg to be provided insurance coverage equal in scope and amount to any other director or officer of the Registrant in any

then-existing or future director and officer insurance policies for a period of not less than five years after the date of the letter agreement.

Insurance

     The Registrant maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as such.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

     The exhibits to the Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

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 this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this Registration Statement; and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that 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 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 this Registration Statement.

     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 herein, 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 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 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe it meets all of 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 6th day of May, 2008.
