ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Directors and officers of the Registrant are indemnified and held harmless
against liability to the fullest extent  permissible by the general  corporation
law of Missouri as it currently exists or as it may be amended provided any such
amendment provides broader indemnification provisions than currently exist. This
indemnification applies to the Board of Directors who administer the Plan.

                          ARTICLE IX - INDEMNIFICATION

      9.1  The Corporation shall and does hereby  indemnify any person who is or
was a Director or executive officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary against
any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts
paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
threatened,   pending  or   completed   civil,   criminal,   administrative   or
investigative  action, suit,  proceeding or claim (including any action by or in
the right of the  Corporation  or a subsidiary)  by reason of the fact that such
person is or was  serving  in such  capacity;  provided,  however,  that no such
                                               --------   -------
person shall be entitled to any  indemnification  pursuant to this Article IX on
account  of (i)  conduct  which  is  finally  adjudged  to have  been  knowingly
fraudulent or deliberately  dishonest or to have constituted willful misconduct,
or (ii) an accounting  for profits  pursuant to Section 16(b) of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended from time to time,  or pursuant to a successor
statute or regulation.

      9.2  The  Corporation may, to the extent that the Board of Directors deems
appropriate and as set forth in a Bylaw or authorizing resolution, indemnify any
person  who is or was a  non-executive  officer,  or  employee  or  agent of the
Corporation  or any  subsidiary  or who 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  (including an employee
benefit  plan)  against  any  and  all  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),
judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with any threatened,  pending or completed civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative  action, suit, proceeding or claim (including an
action by or in the right of the  Corporation  or a subsidiary) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was  serving in such  capacity;  provided,  however,
                                                             --------   -------
that no such person  shall be entitled to any  indemnification  pursuant to this
Section  9.2 on account of (i)  conduct  which is finally  adjudged to have been
knowingly  fraudulent or deliberately  dishonest or to have constituted  willful
misconduct,  or (ii) an accounting for profits  pursuant to Section 16(b) of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, or pursuant to a
successor statute or regulation.

      9.3  The Corporation  may, to the extent that the Board of Directors deems
appropriate,  make advances of expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees,  incurred
prior  to  the  final  disposition  of  a  civil,  criminal,  administrative  or
investigative  action,  suit,  proceeding or claim (including an action by or in
the  right  of  the   Corporation  or  a  subsidiary)  to  any  person  to  whom
indemnification is or may be available under this Article IX; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that prior to making  any  advances,  the  Corporation  shall  receive a written
undertaking by or on behalf of such person


                                       3


 4



to repay  such  amounts  advanced  in the  event  that it  shall  be  ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to such indemnification.

      9.4 The indemnification and other rights provided by this Article IX shall
not be  deemed  exclusive  of any  other  rights  to  which  a  person  to  whom
indemnification  is or  otherwise  may be  available  (under  these  Articles of
Incorporation  or the  Bylaws  or any  agreement  or  vote  of  shareholders  or
disinterested  Directors or  otherwise),  may be entitled.  The  Corporation  is
authorized to purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of the  Corporation  or
any person to whom  indemnification is or may be available against any liability
asserted  against  such person in, or arising out of,  such  person's  status as
Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries
or another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise
(including an employee benefit plan) which such person is serving at the request
of the Corporation.

      9.5  Each person to whom indemnification  is granted under this Article IX
is entitled to rely upon the  indemnification and other rights granted hereby as
a  contract  with the  Corporation  and such  person  and such  person's  heirs,
executors,  administrators  and estate shall be entitled to enforce  against the
Corporation  all  indemnification  and other  rights  granted to such  person by
Sections 9.1 and 9.3 and this Article IX. The  indemnification  and other rights
granted by Sections  9.1 and 9.3 and this Section 9.5 shall  survive  amendment,
modification or repeal of this Article IX, and no such  amendment,  modification
or repeal  shall act to reduce,  terminate  or  otherwise  adversely  affect the
rights  to  indemnification  granted  hereby,  with  respect  to  any  expenses,
judgments,  fines and amounts  paid in  settlement  incurred by a person to whom
indemnification  is  granted  under this  Article IX with  respect to an action,
suit,  proceeding  or claim that arises out of acts or  omissions of such person
that occurred prior to the effective  date of such  amendment,  modification  or
repeal.

      Any  indemnification  granted  by the  Board of  Directors  pursuant  this
Article IX shall inure to the person to whom the  indemnification is granted and
such person's heirs,  executors,  administrators  and estate; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that such indemnification may be changed,  modified or repealed,  at any time or
from time to time, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and the survival
of such  indemnification  shall be in  accordance  with terms  determined by the
Board of Directors.

      9.6  For the  purposes of this  Article  IX,  "subsidiary"  shall mean any
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise of which a
majority  of the voting  power,  equity or  ownership  interest  is  directly or
indirectly owned by 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;

            (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; 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

            unless the  information  required  by (i) and (ii) is  contained  in
            periodic  reports filed by the Registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or
            15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.

      (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 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.

      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
directors, 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.
