Item 4. Description of Securities. Not Applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. Not Applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. As permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act ("TBCA"), the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company will indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the TBCA against actions that may arise against them in such capacities, and to advance expenses in connection with any such actions. Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation provides that directors of the Company will not be personally liable to Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in his capacity as a director except as authorized under the TBCA. The TBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant in a proceeding because such person is or was a director if it is determined in accordance with the provisions of the TBCA that the person (i) conducted himself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as director, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests or, in other cases, that his conduct at least was not opposed to the corporation's interests and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A director may not be indemnified with respect to a proceeding in which the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity, or in which the person is found liable to the corporation. Officers, employees and agents of a corporation are entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as, and to the same extent provided for, directors of the corporation. 2 Registrant carries directors' and officers' liability insurance with an aggregate policy limit of $2,000,000.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 3 Item 9. Undertakings. The Company herein 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 thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; (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 the Registration Statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (1) (i) and (1)(ii) above 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 Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company 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 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. (4) That, for 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 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. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Securities and Exchange 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 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, the 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company 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 City of Idaho Falls, State of Idaho on December 15, 2004.
