1. CertainDefinitions.
As used herein the following terms shall have           the following meanings:


(a) BoardofDirectors:
the Board of Directors of the Company.


(b) ChangeofControl:
a change of control of a nature that           would be required to be reported in
response to Item 1(a) of the Current Report           of Form 8-K, as in effect on the
date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of           the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (Exchange Act) or           would have been required to be
so reported but for the fact that such event had           been previously reported as
that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of           Regulation 12B of the Exchange Act unless
the transactions that give rise to the           change of control are approved or
ratified by a majority of the individuals who           constitute the Board of Directors
on the date hereof (the Incumbent           Board) who are not employees of
the Corporation; provided that, without           limitation, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, such a change of           control shall be deemed to have
occurred if, (i) any Person is or becomes the           beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or           indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing 40% or more of the           combined Voting Securities, (ii)
individuals who constitute the Incumbent Board           cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that           any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or           nomination for
election by the Companys shareholders, was approved by a           vote of at least
three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board           (either by a
specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company           in which
such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to           such
nomination) shall be, for purposes of this clause (ii), considered as           though
such person were a member of the Incumbent Board, or (iii) approval           by the
stockholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation,           in
each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the
          Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do
          not, immediately thereafter, own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the
          combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
of           the reorganized, merged or consolidated companys then outstanding
voting           securities, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale
of all or           substantially all of the assets of the Company.

|(c) Claim:
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding,           arbitration or
alternate dispute resolution proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
          administrative, investigative, or other, or any inquiry hearing or
investigation           (whether conducted by the Company or any other party or
authority) that           Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution
of any such           action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or alternate dispute
resolution           proceeding.


(d) Expenses:
include attorneys fees, expenses and charges and all           other costs, travel
expenses, fees of experts, transcript costs, filing fees,           witness fees,
telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, expenses and           obligations of
any nature whatsoever paid or incurred in connection with           investigating,
defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on           appeal), or
preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any Claim           relating to
any Indemnifiable Event.


(e) IndemnifiableEvent:
any event or occurrence related to the fact           that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of           the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director,           officer, employee,
trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,           partnership, joint venture,
employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or           by reason of anything done
or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.


(f) IndependentLegalCounsel:
Independent Legal Counsel shall           refer to an attorney, selected by the
Indemnitee and approved by the Board of           Directors (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), who shall not           have otherwise performed services for the
Company or Indemnitee within the last           five years. Independent Legal Counsel
shall be a member of or of counsel to a           firm having no fewer than fifty
attorneys as of the date such Independent Legal           Counsel is designated by the
Indemnitee. Independent Legal Counsel shall not be           counsel to the Indemnitee in
any Claims arising in whole or in part from any           Indemnifible Event and shall
not be Indemnitees counsel in any proceeding           to determine Indemnitees
rights hereunder. Independent Legal Counsel shall           also not be any person who,
under the applicable standards of professional           conduct then prevailing, would
have a conflict of interest in representing           either the Company or Indemnitee in
an action to determine Indemnitees           rights under this Agreement, nor shall
Independent Legal Counsel be any person           who has been sanctioned or censured for
ethical violations of applicable           standards of professional conduct. In the
event an Independent Legal Counsel           resigns, becomes disabled, dies, or is
otherwise unable in such counsels           opinion to serve as Independent Legal
Counsel, Indemnitee shall select, subject           to the approval of the Board of
Directors (which approval shall not be           unreasonably withheld) a successor
Independent Legal Counsel.


(g) Person:
any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or           other person, as
such term is used in Section 14(d) of the Exchange           Act, other than the Company
or any corporation (or other business entity)           controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Company or any           employee benefit plan(s) sponsored
or maintained by the Company or any           corporation (or other business entity)
controlling, controlled by or under           common control with the Company.


(h) VotingSecurities:
all outstanding shares of capital stock of all           classes and series of the
Company entitled to vote generally in the election of           directors of the Company,

2. BasicIndemnificationArrangement


(a)           In
the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other
          participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other

Indemnitee           presents written demand to the Company, against any and all
reasonable Expenses           and all judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement (including           all interest, assessments and other charges paid or
payable in connection with           or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties or amounts paid in           settlement) of such Claim and any federal, state,
local or foreign taxes imposed           on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or
deemed receipt of any payments           under this Agreement. The Indemnitees
written demand shall also specify           the Independent Legal Counsel selected by
Indemnitee pursuant to the terms of           this Agreement.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|If
so requested by Indemnitee in writing, the Company shall advance (within ten business
days of such request) any and all reasonable Expenses to Indemnitee or to the Indemnitees
counsel (an Expense Advance). Such written request shall also specify the
Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee if the Indemnitee has not previously
specified such Independent Legal Counsel.


Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except as provided in Section 3, prior to
a Change of control, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any
director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the
initiation of such Claim.


(b)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section           2(a) hereof
shall be subject to the condition that within sixty (60) days of the           Indemnitees
written demand for an indemnification payment Independent           Legal Counsel shall
not have determined in a written opinion that Indemnitee           would not be permitted
to be indemnified under applicable law, and the           Indemnitee hereby agrees to
repay to the Company all indemnification amounts           paid to Indemnitee by the
Company under Section 2(a) hereof when and to the           extent that Independent Legal
Counsel so determines that such payments were not           to be permitted under
applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to           make an Expense
Advance pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be subject to the           condition that, within
sixty days of the Indemnitees written request for           an Expense Advance
Independent Legal Counsel shall not have determined in a           written opinion that
Indemnitee would not be permitted to receive such Expense           Advance under
applicable law, and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay to the           Company all
Expense Advances paid to the Indemnitee by the Company under Section           2(a)
hereof when and to the extent Independent Legal Counsel so determines that           such
Expense Advance was not permitted under applicable law; provided, however,           that
if in the case of any indemnification payment or Expense Advance under           Section
2(a) hereof Indemnitee commences legal proceedings in a court of           competent
jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be           indemnified
under applicable law (whether or not commenced prior to or following           the
determination of such Independent Legal Counsel) then (i) any
          determination made by Independent Legal Counsel that Indemnitee would not be
          permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding upon
          Indemnitee, (ii) the Company shall be obligated to make such
          indemnification payments and Expense Advances as would otherwise be required by
          Section 2(a) unless and until a final judicial determination is made
          establishing that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or Expense
          Advances under applicable law, and (iii) Indemnitee shall not be required
          to reimburse the Company for any such payment or Expense Advance until a final
          judicial determination is made requiring the Indemnitee to make such repayment.
          (A final judicial determination, as used in this and other Sections of this
          Agreement, is a determination with respect to which all rights of appeal
          therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed.) The Indemnitee hereby further agrees
          to repay to the Company all indemnification payments and Expense Advances made
          to Indemnitee under Section 2(a) hereof when and to the extent any such final
          judicial determination determines that such payments or Expenses were not
          permitted under applicable law. The lndemnitees obligation to reimburse
          the Company for indemnification payments and Expense Advances shall be
unsecured           and no interest shall be charged or payable thereon. If Independent
Legal           Counsel determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted
to be           indemnified in whole or in part or to receive an Expense Advance under
          applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any
          court sitting in the City or County of St. Louis, Missouri, or the State of
          Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is
          properly seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such
          determination by the Independent Legal Counsel or any aspect thereof, or the
          legal or factual bases therefore, and the Company hereby consents to service of
          process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by Independent
          Legal Counsel otherwise and made within the sixty day period provided under
this           Section 2(b) shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
Indemnitee.


(c)           The
Company shall not make any payments to the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2
          hereof on account of any Claim for recovery of profits from the purchase or
sale           by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company that is based upon the
provisions           of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
amendments thereto           or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local
statutory law.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(d)           The
Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay to the Company on demand all           indemnification
payments and Expense Advances made to Indemnitee under Section 2           hereof that
are determined in a final judicial determination (as hereinbefore           defined) to
have been made with respect to the Indemnitees act or conduct           that was
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or to have constituted           willful
misconduct.


3. IndemnificationforAdditionalExpenses.
The Company           shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including
          attorneys fees) and, if requested by Indetmnitee, shall (within ten
          business days of such request) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are
          incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted against or in
          connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or
          advance payment of reasonable Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or
          any other agreement, the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, or the
          Bylaws of the Company now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
          Indemnifiable Events, and/or (ii) recovery under any directors and
          officers liability insurance policies maintained by the Company,
          regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to
such           indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the
case may           be.


4. PartialIndemnity.
If the Indemnitee is entitled under any           provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a           portion of the Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in           settlement of a Claim but not,
however, for all of the total amount thereof, the           Company shall nevertheless
indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which           Indemnitee is entitled.
Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this           Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or           otherwise in defense of
any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an           Indemnifiable Event or in
defense of any issue or matter therein, including           dismissal without prejudice,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all           Expenses incurred in connection
therewith. In connection with any determination           by Independent Legal Counsel or
otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled           to be indemnified hereunder the
burden of proof shall be on the Company to           establish that Indemnitee is not so
entitled.


5. IndependentLegalCounselFees.
The Company agrees           to pay from time to time the reasonable fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel           and to indemnify fully such Independent Legal Counsel
against any and all           expenses (including attorneys fees), claims, causes
of action,           liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties and fines arising out of
or relating           to this Agreement or the engagement of such Independent Legal
Counsel pursuant           hereto.


6. NoPresumption.
For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of           any claim, action, suit or
proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether           with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo           contendere, or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee           did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or           that a court has
determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable           law.


7. Non-exclusivity.
The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition           to any other rights
Indemnitee may have under any other agreement, the           Companys Certificate
of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, the           Delaware General Corporation
Law, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in           the Delaware General
Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial decision)           permits greater
indemnification by agreement than would by afforded currently           under the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company           and this Agreement, it
is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall           enjoy by this
Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.


8. NoConstructionasEmploymentAgreement.
          Nothing contained herein shall be construed as providing the Indemnitee any
          right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
          to continue to serve as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.


9. LiabilityInsurance.
To the extent the Company maintains an           insurance policy or policies providing
directors and officers          liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be
covered by such policy or policies           (which shall, if available at reasonable
cost to the Company, provide coverage           to the Indemnitee for at least six (6)
years after the Indemnitee has ceased to           be a director of the Company), in
accordance with its or their terms, to the           maximum extent of the coverage
reasonably available for any Company director or           officer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|10. PeriodofLimitations.
No legal action shall be brought and           no cause of action shall be asserted by or
in the right of the Company or any           affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee,
Indemnitees spouse, heirs,           executors, administrators or personal or legal
representatives after the           expiration of three years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and           any claim or cause of action of the Company or its
affiliate shall be           extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the
timely filing of a legal           action within such three-year period; provided,
however, that if any shorter           period of limitations is otherwise applicable to
any such cause of action such           shorter period shall govern.


11. AmendmentsandWaiver.
No supplement, modification or           amendment of this Agreement shall be binding
unless executed in writing by both           of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement           shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver
of any other provisions hereof           (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver.


12. Subrogation.
In the event of payment to the Indemnitee under this           Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all           of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents,           agreements, and
instruments required and shall do everything that may be           necessary to secure
such rights including the execution of such documents           necessary to enable the
Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such           rights.


13. NoDuplicationofPayment.
The Company shall not be           liable under this Agreement to make any payment in
connection with any claim           made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has
otherwise actually received           payment (under any other agreement, any insurance
policy, the Companys           Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the
Company or otherwise) of the           amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.


14. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the           benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective           successors, assigns,
including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,           merger, consolidation
or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business           and/or assets of the
Company, spouses, heirs, beneficiaries, and personal and           legal representatives.
The Company shall require and cause any successor or           assign (whether direct or
indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or           otherwise) to all, substantially
all, or a substantial part, of the business           and/or assets of the Company, by
written agreement in form and substance           satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly
to assume and agree to perform this           Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be           required to perform if no such succession
had taken place. This Agreement shall           continue in effect regardless of whether
Indemnitee continues to serve as a           director of the Company or of any other
enterprise at the Companys           request. Section headings are included herein
solely for convenience of           reference and shall not be used in the construction
and application of this           Agreement.


15. Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the           event that any of
the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single           Section or a
paragraph or sentence thereof) are held by a court of competent           jurisdiction to
be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining           provisions shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by           applicable law.
Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of           this Agreement
(including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement           containing any
provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable,           that is not
itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to           give effect
to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable.


16. GoverningLaw.
This Agreement and all amendments, modifications           and supplements hereof shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in           accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware applicable to contracts made           and to be performed in such
state without giving effect to the principles of           conflicts of laws.
