Section 351.355 the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law sets forth provisions pursuant to which directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company may be indemnified against any liability which they may incur in their capacity as such. Article 8 of the Company's By-laws provides for indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with its directors and certain of its executive officers. The form of indemnity agreement provides that such persons will be indemnified to the full extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, on account of such person's services as a director or executive officer of the Company or any other company or enterprise in which he is serving at the request of the Company, or as a guarantor of any debt of the Company. To the extent the indemnification provided under the agreement exceeds that permitted by applicable law, indemnification may be unenforceable or may be limited to the extent it is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to public policy. In addition, the Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Inapplicable ITEM 8.

(included in Exhibit 5.1) 24.1 Power of Attorney (contained on signature page hereof) ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: II-2 4 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 event arising after the effective date of this 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 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) of this section do not apply if this 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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 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 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 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. II-3 5 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of Securities, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that 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 County of St. Louis and State of Missouri on the 28th day of June, 2001.
