Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.


      Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any person against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection
with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which he
is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation, provided that (i) he acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If
the action or suit is by or in the name of the corporation, the corporation may
indemnify such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be
made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit is
brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.



      As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company has adopted provisions in its restated certificate of incorporation and
amended and restated bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of
its directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The
duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the Company,
directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material
information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages or
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

      o     any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
            stockholders;

      o     any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional
            misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

      o     any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other
            distributions or payment of dividends; or

      o     any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
            benefit.

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

      As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's amended and restated bylaws provide that:

      o     the Company may indemnify its directors, officers and employees to
            the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
            Law, subject to limited exceptions;

      o     the Company may advance expenses to its directors, officers and
            employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest
            extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
            limited exceptions; and

      o     the rights provided in its amended and restated bylaws are not
            exclusive.

      We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors
and executive officers. These indemnification agreements provide that we hold
harmless and indemnify each such director and executive officer to the fullest
extent authorized or permitted by law. In addition, subject to certain
conditions, these indemnification agreements provide for payment of expenses
(including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed proceeding to which the indemnified
director or executive officer or employee is, was or at any time becomes a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that he or she
is, was or at any time becomes a director or executive officer of us, or is or
was serving or at any time serves at the request of us as a director or
executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise. In addition, we have purchased
policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance, which insure our
directors and executive officers against the cost of defense, settlement or
payment of a judgment in some circumstances.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.

      (a) 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;

                  (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. 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 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 this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and
(a)(l)(ii) 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
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.

      (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 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.

      (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 SEC 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 the 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.



                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 Dallas, State of Texas, on this 27th day of May, 2005.

                                       CRDENTIA CORP.
