ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
------

     In accordance with the Business  Corporation law of the State of Louisiana,
Article 8 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides as follows:

     Article 8. Personal Liability, Indemnification, Advancement of Expenses and
Other Rights of Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents.

     A. Personal  Liability of Directors and Officers.  A director or officer of
the  Corporation  shall not be  personally  liable for monetary  damages for any
action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director or officer except
to the extent that by law a  director's  or  officer's  liability  for  monetary
damages may not be limited.

     B.  Indemnification.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or
completed  action,  suit or proceeding,  including actions by or in the right of
the Corporation,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative,  by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,  officer,  employee or
agent of the Corporation, or 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, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in  connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding to
the full extent permissible under Louisiana law.

     C.  Advancement of Expenses.  Reasonable  expenses  incurred by an officer,
director,  employee or agent of the Corporation in defending an action,  suit or
proceeding  described  in  Section  B of  this  Article  8 may  be  paid  by the
Corporation  in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit or
proceeding if authorized  by the board of directors  (without  regard to whether
participating  members thereof are parties to such action,  suit or proceeding),
upon  receipt  of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such  person to repay such
amount if it shall  ultimately be determined  that the person is not entitled to
be indemnified by the Corporation.

     D. Other Rights. The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses provided
by or  pursuant  to this  Article 8 shall not be deemed  exclusive  of any other
rights to which those seeking  indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, insurance or other agreement,  vote of stockholders or
directors  (regardless of whether directors authorizing such indemnification are
beneficiaries  thereof)  or  otherwise,  both as to  actions  in their  official
capacity  and as to actions in another  capacity  while  holding an office,  and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or  agent  and  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  heirs,   executors  and
administrators of such person.

     E. Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance or other similar  arrangement  on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the  request of the  Corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, against any
liability  asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity,  or arising
out of his status as such,  whether or not the Corporation  would have the power
to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article 8.

     F. Security Fund; Indemnity Agreements. By action of the Board of Directors
(notwithstanding their interest in the transaction),  the Corporation may create
and fund a trust fund or other fund or form of self-insurance arrangement of any
nature,  and may enter into agreements with its officers,  directors,  employees
and agents for the purpose of securing or insuring in any manner its  obligation
to indemnify or advance expenses provided for in this Article 8.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     G. Modification.  The duties of the Corporation to indemnify and to advance
expenses to any person as provided in this Article 8 shall be in the nature of a
contract  between the  Corporation  and each such  person,  and no  amendment or
repeal of any  provision of this Article 8, and no amendment or  termination  of
any trust or other fund or form of self-insurance  arrangement  created pursuant
to Section F of this Article 8, shall alter to the  detriment of such person the
right of such person to the advance of expenses or indemnification  related to a
claim  based  on an act or  failure  to act  which  took  place  prior  to  such
amendment, repeal or termination.

     H. Proceedings Initiated by Indemnified Persons.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this  Article 8, the  Corporation  shall not  indemnify a director,
officer,  employee or agent for any  liability  incurred  in an action,  suit or
proceeding  initiated  (which shall not be deemed to include  counter-claims  or
affirmative  defenses) or  participated  in as an intervenor or amicus curiae by
the person seeking indemnification unless such initiation of or participation in
the  action,  suit or  proceeding  is  authorized,  either  before  or after its
commencement, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

     For a list of all exhibits  filed or included as part of this  Registration

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS
------

     1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (a)  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.  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 the  effective
          registration statement;

               (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;

provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (a)(i)  and  (a)(ii)  do not apply if the
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  Commission by the
registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (b) 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.

                  (c) 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.

     2. 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 (and, where applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 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.

     3. The undersigned  registrant  hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus,  to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given,  the latest annual report,  to security  holders that is  incorporated by
reference  in  the  prospectus  and  furnished   pursuant  to  and  meeting  the
requirements  of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934;  and,  where  interim  financial  information  required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus,  to deliver,  or
cause to be  delivered to each person to whom the  prospectus  is sent or given,
the latest  quarterly  report that is specifically  incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

     4. 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
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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
