ARTICLE II

SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.               Time and Place of Meetings.  Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such time and at such place, within or without the State of Texas, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.               Annual Meetings.  Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.  At each annual meeting the shareholders shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 3.               Special Meetings.  All special meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such location, within or without the State of Texas, as may be designated, and may be called at any time, by one of the Chief Executive Officers, President or the Board of Directors, or as may be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof, and shall be called by one of the Chief Executive Officers, President or the Secretary at the request in proper form of the holders of not less than 10% of the voting power represented by all the shares issued, outstanding and entitled to be voted at the proposed special meeting.  To be in proper form, such request must be in writing, state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and include all information that would be required to be delivered pursuant to Article II, Section 13(c) of these Bylaws.  Business transacted at special meetings shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting or in any supplemental notice delivered by the Corporation.  The Board of Directors may determine that a meeting may be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Texas law.

Section 4.               Notice.  Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of any shareholders’ meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, the means of any remote communications by which shareholders may be considered present and may vote at the meeting, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally, by electronic transmission or by mail, by or at the direction of one of the Chief Executive Officers, President,

Secretary or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the share transfer records of the Corporation.

Section 5.               Closing of Share Transfer Records and Fixing Record Dates for Matters Other than Consents to Action.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or share dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose (other than determining shareholders entitled to consent to action by shareholders proposed to be taken without a meeting of shareholders), the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide that the share transfer records shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, 60 days.  If the share transfer records shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders, such records shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting.  In lieu of closing the share transfer records, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken.  If the share transfer records are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a distribution (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or share dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such distribution or share dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.  When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of share transfer records and the stated period of closing has expired.

Section 6.               Fixing Record Dates for Consents to Action.  In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, whenever action by shareholders is proposed to be taken by consent in writing without a meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to consent to that action, which record date shall not precede, and shall not be more than ten days after, the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors.  Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders take action by consent in writing without a meeting of shareholders shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date, which written notice shall include all information that would be required to be delivered pursuant to Article II, Section 13(c) of these Bylaws if the shareholder had been making a nomination or proposing business to be considered at an annual or special meeting of shareholders.  The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days of the date on which such a request is received and the prior action of the Board of Directors is not required by the Texas Business Organizations Code (herein called the “Act”), the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing

without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the records in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.  Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Delivery to the Corporation’s principal place of business shall be addressed to the President or one of the Chief Executive Officers of the Corporation.  If no record date shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action of the Board of Directors is required by the Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts a resolution taking such prior action.

Section 7.               List of Shareholders.  The officer or agent of the Corporation having charge of the share transfer records for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten days before each meeting of the shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of voting shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office or principal place of business of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during the usual business hours of the Corporation.  Alternatively, the list of the shareholders may be kept on a reasonably accessible electronic network, if the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting.  This Section does not require the Corporation to include any electronic contact information of any shareholder on the list.  If the Corporation elects to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is available only to shareholders of the Corporation.  Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.  If the meeting is held by means of remote communication, the list must be open to the examination of any shareholder for the duration of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list must be provided to shareholders with the notice of the meeting.  The original share transfer records shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer records or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.  Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

Section 8.               Quorum.  A quorum shall be present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of shares having a majority of the voting power represented by all issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation in accordance with the Act.  Once a quorum is present at a meeting of shareholders, the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the meeting may conduct such business as may properly be brought before the meeting until it is adjourned, and the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting of any shareholder or the refusal of any shareholder represented in person or by proxy to vote shall not affect the presence of a quorum at the meeting.  If, however, a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting, without notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the time and place of the adjourned meeting), until such time and to such place as may be determined by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares

represented in person or by proxy at such meeting until a quorum shall be present.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

Section 9.               Voting.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on, and who voted for or against, the matter shall decide any matter brought before such meeting, other than the election of Directors or a matter for which the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares entitled to vote is required by the Act, and shall be the act of the shareholders, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Act.

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws in accordance with the Act, directors of the Corporation in a contested election (i.e., where the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected) shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares present and entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present.  However, in an uncontested election (i.e., where the number of nominees for director is the same as the number of directors to be elected), directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares present and entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present.  In the event that a nominee for re-election as a director fails to receive the requisite majority vote at an annual or special meeting held for the purpose of electing directors where the election is uncontested such director must, promptly following certification of the shareholder vote, tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors.  The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, or such other group of independent members of the Board of Directors as is determined by the entire Board of Directors (excluding the director who tendered the resignation) will evaluate any such resignation in light of the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and will make a recommendation to the entire Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken.  In reaching its decision, the Board of Directors may consider any factors it deems relevant, including the director’s qualifications, the director’s past and expected future contributions to the Corporation, the overall composition of the Board of Directors and whether accepting the tendered resignation would cause the Corporation to fail to meet any applicable law, rule or regulation (including the listing requirements of any securities exchange).  The Board of Directors shall complete this process within 90 days after the certification of the shareholder vote and shall report its decision to the shareholders in the Corporation’s filing following such Board Decision.

At every meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder shall be entitled to such number of votes, in person or by proxy, for each share having voting power held by such shareholder, as is specified in the Articles of Incorporation (including the resolution of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) creating such shares), except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or series are limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation.  At each election of directors, every shareholder shall be entitled to cast, in person or by proxy, the number of votes to which the shares owned by him are entitled for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote.  Cumulative voting is prohibited by the Articles of Incorporation.  Every proxy shall be in writing and be executed by

the shareholder.  A telegram, telex, cablegram or other form of electronic transmission including telephone transmission, by the shareholder, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the shareholder, shall be treated as an execution in writing for the purposes of this Section.  Any electronic transmission must contain or be accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder.  No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided therein.  Each proxy shall be revocable unless (i) the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable, and (ii) the proxy is coupled with an interest, as defined in the Act and other Texas law.

Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name.  Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name as trustee.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without being transferred into his name, if such authority is contained in an appropriate order of the court that appointed the receiver.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Treasury shares, shares of the Corporation’s stock owned by another corporation the majority of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled by the Corporation, and shares of its own stock held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

Votes submitted as abstentions on matters to be voted on at any meeting will not be counted as votes for or against such matters.  Broker non-votes will not count for or against the matters to be voted on at any meeting.

Section 10.             Action by Consent.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the action that is the subject of the consent.

In addition, if the Articles of Incorporation so provide, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holder or holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which the holders of all shares

entitled to vote on the action were present and voted.  Prompt notice of the taking of any action by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who did not consent in writing to the action.

(a)           Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who signs the consent.  No written consent shall be effective to take the action that is the subject of the consent unless, within sixty (60) days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation as set forth below in this Section 10, the consent or consents signed by the holder or holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the action that is the subject of the consent are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the records in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.  Delivery shall be by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Delivery to the Corporation’s principal place of business shall be addressed to the President or one of the Chief Executive Officers of the Corporation.

(b)           A telegram, telex, cablegram or other electronic transmission by a shareholder consenting to an action to be taken is considered to be written, signed, and dated for the purposes of this Section if the transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine that the transmission was transmitted by the shareholder and the date on which the shareholder transmitted the transmission.  The date of transmission is the date on which the consent was signed.  Consent given by telegram, telex, cablegram, or other electronic transmission may not be considered delivered until the consent is reproduced in paper form and the paper form is delivered to the Corporation at its registered office in this state or its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of shareholder meetings are recorded.  Notwithstanding Subsection (b) of this Section, consent given by telegram, telex, cablegram, or other electronic transmission may be delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of shareholder meetings are recorded to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution for the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  Any photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similarly reliable reproduction of a consent in writing signed by a shareholder may be substituted or used instead of the original writing for any purpose for which the original writing could be used, if the reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

(c)           In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Section 10, to the Corporation of the requisite written consent or consents to take action and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations.  For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 10 and not revoked represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action.  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any shareholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent or revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other

action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in any such litigation).

(d)           Prompt notice of the taking of any action by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who did not consent in writing to the action.

Section 11.             Presence at Meetings by Means of Communications Equipment.  Shareholders may participate in and hold a meeting of the shareholders by means of conference telephone or other means of remote communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 11 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened if (i) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to verify that each person considered present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a shareholder; (ii) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to provide the shareholders at the meeting by means of remote communication a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of a meeting substantially concurrently with the proceedings; and (iii) the Corporation maintains a record of any shareholder vote or other action taken at the meeting by means of remote communication.

Section 12.             Order of Business.  The Chairman of the Board, or such other officer of the Corporation designated by a majority of the Board of Directors, will call meetings of the shareholders to order and will act as presiding officer thereof.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the presiding officer of the meeting of the shareholders will also determine the order of business and have the authority in his or her sole discretion to regulate the conduct of any such meeting, including without limitation by (i) imposing restrictions on the persons (other than shareholders of the Corporation or their duly appointed proxies) who may attend any such shareholders’ meeting, (ii) ascertaining whether any shareholder or his proxy may be excluded from any meeting of the shareholders based upon any determination by the presiding officer, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has unduly disrupted or is likely to disrupt the proceedings thereat, and (iii) determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at any meeting of the shareholders.

Nominations of or recommendations for persons for election as Directors of the Corporation may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders only (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by a shareholder of the Corporation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence.  Any shareholder, (A) who is a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice of such annual meeting of the shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and at the time of the annual meeting, (B) who is entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting and (C) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Article II, Section 13 of these Bylaws as to such nomination or recommendation, may nominate or recommend one or more persons for election or to be considered as a potential nominee or nominees for election, as applicable, as a Director or Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting of the shareholders.  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with this Article II, Section 12(a) will be eligible for election at an annual meeting of shareholders as Directors of the Corporation.

The immediately preceding two paragraphs shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of shareholders.

(b)           At a special meeting of shareholders, only such business may be conducted or considered as is properly brought before the meeting.  To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, one of the Chief Executive Officers, the President, a Vice President or the Secretary or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the presiding officer or by or at the direction of a majority of the Board of Directors or pursuant to Article II, Section 3 of these Bylaws.  In addition, for business requested by a shareholder in accordance with Article II, Section 3 of these Bylaws to be brought before a special meeting, the shareholder must (i) be a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice of such special meeting and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) be entitled to vote with respect to such business at such meeting, and (iii) comply with the notice procedures set forth in Article II, Section 13 of these Bylaws as to such business.

Section 13.             Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations.

(b)           To be timely for purposes of Article II, Section 12(b) of these Bylaws, a shareholder’s notice of nominations to be properly brought before a special meeting must be addressed to the Secretary and delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the date of such special meeting; provided, however, that if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred thirty (130) days prior to the date of such special meeting, notice by the shareholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) calendar day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.  In no event will an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting of shareholders or the public announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as provided above.  Notice of other business proposed to be brought before a special meeting by a shareholder must be delivered in accordance with Article II, Section 3 of these Bylaws.

Section 14.             Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement.  To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Article II, Section 13 of these Bylaws) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the

background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination or recommendation for nomination or nomination, as the case may be, is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (a) is not and will not become a party to (i) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (ii) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein, (c) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation and (d) will abide by the requirements of Article II, Section 9 of these Bylaws.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1.               Number, Election and Terms of Directors.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under circumstances specified in any Preferred Designation, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office determined as if there were no vacancies.  No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of reducing the term of any incumbent director.  Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article III, and each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders following his election or until his successor is elected and qualified.  Directors need not be residents of the State of Texas or shareholders of the Corporation.

Section 2.               Vacancies.  Subject to other provisions of this Section 2, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by election at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though the remaining directors may constitute less than a quorum of the Board of Directors as fixed by Section 8 of this Article III.  A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office.  Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose or may be filled by the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of one or more directors by the shareholders; provided that the Board of Directors may not fill more than two such directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of shareholders.  Shareholders holding a majority of shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors may, at

any time, only with cause (as hereinafter defined), terminate the term of office of all or any of the directors by a vote at any annual or special meeting called for that purpose.  Such removal shall be effective immediately upon such shareholder action even if successors are not elected simultaneously, and the vacancies on the Board of Directors caused by such action shall be filled only by election by the shareholders.  For purposes of this Section 2 of Article III, “cause” means that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction has made a final non-appealable determination that the applicable director (a) has breached his or her fiduciary duties to the Corporation or (b) is incapacitated to the extent that such director is not capable of performing his or her directorial duties or (ii) the applicable director has been indicted by a governmental authority for a felony.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, only the holders of shares of that class or series shall be entitled to vote for or against the removal of any director elected by the holders of shares of that class or series; and any vacancies in such directorships and any newly created directorships of such class or series to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of such directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors elected by such class or series then in office or by a sole remaining director so elected, or by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series, and such directorships shall not in any case be filled by the vote of the remaining directors or the holders of the outstanding shares as a whole unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 3.               General Powers.  The powers of the Corporation shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors, which may do or cause to be done all such lawful acts and things, as are not by the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

Section 4.               Place of Meetings.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Texas.

Section 5.               Annual Meetings.  The first meeting of each newly elected Board of Directors shall be held, without further notice, immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders at the same place, unless by the majority vote or unanimous consent of the directors then elected and serving, such time or place shall be changed.

Section 6.               Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held with or without notice at such time and place as the Board of Directors may determine by resolution.

Section 7.               Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of one of the Chief Executive Officers and shall be called by the Secretary on the written request of a majority of the incumbent directors.  The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by such person or persons.  Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least 24 hours previous thereto if given either personally (including written notice delivered personally or telephone notice) or by telex, telecopy, telegram or other electronic transmission, and at least 72 hours previous thereto if given by written notice

mailed or otherwise transmitted to each director at the address of his business or residence.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.  Any director may waive notice of any meeting, as provided in Section 2 of Article IV of these Bylaws.  The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 8.               Quorum and Voting.  At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of the number of directors fixed in the manner provided in Section 1 of this Article III shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  At all meetings of committees of the Board of Directors (if one or more be designated in the manner described in Section 9 of this Article III), the presence of a majority of the number of directors fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors to serve as members of such committees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors present and entitled to vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors or the committee, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.  Directors may not vote by proxy at any meeting of the Board of Directors.  Directors with an interest in a business transaction of the Corporation and directors who are directors or officers or have a financial interest in any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization with which the Corporation is transacting business may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee of the Board of Directors to authorize such business transaction.  If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until such time and to such place as may be determined by such majority of directors, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 9.               Committees of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors may designate from among its members one or more committees, each of which shall be composed of one or more of its members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee.  Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors designating the committee or in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, except where action of the Board of Directors is required by the Act or by the Articles of Incorporation.  Any member of a committee of the Board of Directors may be removed, for or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors.  If any vacancy or vacancies occur in a committee of the Board of Directors caused by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or otherwise, the vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors.  Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be designated by the Board of Directors and shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

Section 10.             Compensation of Directors.  Directors, as members of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof, shall be entitled to receive compensation for their services on such terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 11.             Action by Unanimous Consent.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the Board of Directors or the committee, as the case may be, and such written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors.  A telegram, telex, cablegram, or other electronic transmission by a director consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a director is considered written, signed, and dated for the purposes of this article if the transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine that the transmission was transmitted by the director and the date on which the director transmitted the transmission.

Section 12.             Presence at Meetings by Means of Communications Equipment.  Members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in and hold a meeting of such board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 12 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE IV

NOTICES

Section 1.               Form of Notice.  Whenever under the provisions of the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any shareholder, director or committee member, and no provision is made as to how such notice shall be given, it shall not be construed to mean that any such notice may be given (a) in person, (b) in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such shareholder, director, or committee member at his address as it appears on the books of the Corporation or, in the case of a shareholder, the stock transfer records of the Corporation, (c) on consent of a shareholder, director, or committee member, by electronic transmission, or (d) by any other method permitted by law.  Any notice required or permitted to be given by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same be thus deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail as aforesaid.  On consent of a shareholder, director or committee member, notice from the Corporation may be given to the shareholder, director or committee member by electronic transmission.  The shareholder, director or committee member may specify the form of electronic transmission to be used to communicate notice.  The shareholder, director or committee member may revoke this consent by written notice to the Corporation.  The consent is deemed to be revoked if the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices, and the person responsible for delivering notice on behalf of the Corporation knows that delivery of these two electronic

transmissions was unsuccessful.  The inadvertent failure to treat the unsuccessful transmissions as a revocation of consent does not invalidate a meeting or other action.  Notice by electronic transmission is deemed given when the notice is (i) transmitted to a facsimile number provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of receiving notice; (ii) transmitted to an electronic mail address provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of receiving notice; (iii) posted on an electronic network and a message is sent to the shareholder, director or committee member at the address provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of alerting the shareholder, director or committee member by any other form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder, director or committee member.

Section 2.               Waiver.  Whenever under the provisions of the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice is required to be given to any director or shareholder of the Corporation, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated in such notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.  The business to be transacted at a regular or special meeting of the shareholders, directors or members of a committee of directors or the purpose of a meeting is not required to be specified in a written waiver of notice or a waiver by electronic transmission unless required by the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 3.               When Notice Unnecessary.  Whenever, under the provisions of the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice is required to be given to any shareholder, such notice need not be given to the shareholder if:

(a)           notice of two consecutive annual meetings and all notices of meetings held during the period between those annual meetings, if any, or

(b)           all (but in no event less than two) payments (if sent by first class mail) of distributions or interest on securities during a 12-month period,

have been mailed to that person, addressed at his address as shown on the records of the Corporation, and have been returned undeliverable.  Any action or meeting taken or held without notice to such a person shall have the same force and effect as if the notice had been duly given.  If such a person delivers to the Corporation a written notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to that person shall be reinstated.

ARTICLE V

OFFICERS

Section 1.               General.  The elected officers of the Corporation shall be one or more Chief Executive Officers and/or a President and a Secretary.  The Board of Directors may also elect or appoint such other officers, with or without such descriptive titles as the Board of Directors shall deem appropriate.  Two or more offices may be held by the same person.

Section 2.               Election.  The Board of Directors shall elect the officers of the Corporation who shall serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors until such time as their

Section 3.               Chief Executive Officer.  One or more Chief Executive Officer to the extent appointed by the Board of Directors shall be the Chief Executive Officer or the Co-Chief Executive Officers, as the case may be, of the Corporation and, subject to the provisions of these Bylaws, shall have general supervision of the affairs of the Corporation and shall have general and active control of all its business.  Each such Chief Executive Offer shall have general authority to execute bonds, deeds and contracts in the name of the Corporation and affix the corporate seal thereto; to sign stock certificates; to cause the employment or appointment of such employees and agents of the Corporation as the proper conduct of operations may require, and to fix their compensation, subject to the provisions of these Bylaws; to remove or suspend any employee or agent who shall have been employed or appointed under his authority or under authority of an officer subordinate to him; to suspend for cause, pending final action by the authority which shall have elected or appointed him, any officer subordinate to the Chief Executive Officer(s); and, in general, to exercise all the powers and authority usually appertaining to the chief executive officer of a corporation, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws.

Section 4.               President.  In the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, the President shall be the ranking and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and shall have the duties and responsibilities, and the authority and power, of the Chief Executive Officer.

Section 7.               Assistant Secretaries.  In the absence of the Secretary or in the event of the Secretary’s inability or refusal to act, the Assistant Secretary, if any (or, if there be more than one, the Assistant Secretaries in the order designated or, in the absence of any designation, then in the order of their election), shall perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Secretary and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer(s) or the Secretary may from time to time prescribe.

ARTICLE VI

CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES

Section 1.               Form of Certificates.  The Corporation shall deliver certificates representing all shares to which shareholders are entitled.  Certificates representing shares of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be approved and adopted by the Board of Directors and shall be numbered consecutively and entered in the share transfer records of the Corporation, or in the records of the Corporation’s designated transfer agent, if any, as they are issued.  Each certificate shall state on the face thereof that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Texas, the name of the registered holder, the number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any, which said certificate represents, and either the par value of the shares or a statement that the shares are without par value.  Each certificate shall also set forth on the back thereof a full or summary statement of matters required by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation to be described on certificates representing shares, and shall contain a conspicuous statement on the face thereof referring to the matters set forth on the back thereof.  Certificates shall be signed by a Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation.  Either the seal of the Corporation or the signatures of the Corporation’s officers or both may be facsimiles.  In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on such certificate or certificates, shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the Corporation or its agents, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed the certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.

Section 2.               Lost Certificates.  The Corporation may direct that a new certificate be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost or destroyed.  When authorizing the issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such form, in such sum, and with such surety or sureties as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 3.               Transfer of Shares.  Shares of stock shall be transferable only on the share transfer records of the Corporation by the holder thereof in person or by his duly authorized attorney.  Subject to any restrictions on transfer set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or any agreement among shareholders to which this Corporation is a party or has notice, upon surrender to the Corporation or to the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

Section 4.               Registered Shareholders.  Except as otherwise provided in the Act or other applicable Texas law, the Corporation shall be entitled to regard the person in whose name any shares issued by the Corporation are registered in the share transfer records of the Corporation at any particular time (including, without limitation, as of the record date fixed pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article II hereof) as the owner of those shares and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

Section 1.               General.

(a)           The Corporation shall indemnify persons who are or were, at any time during which this Section 1 of Article VII is in effect (whether or not such person continued to serve in such capacity at the time the indemnification or payment of expenses pursuant hereto is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), a director or officer of the Corporation both in their capacities as directors and officers of the Corporation and, if serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in each of those capacities, against any and all liability and judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses that may be incurred by them in connection with or resulting from (a) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, (b) an appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding, or (c) any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, all to the full extent permitted by Article 2.02-1 of the Act as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer or to serve in any of such other capacities and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

(b)           The Corporation shall indemnify persons who are or were, at any time during which this Section 1 of Article VII is in effect (whether or not such person continued to serve in such capacity at the time the indemnification or payment of expenses pursuant hereto is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), an employee or agent of the Corporation, or persons who are not or were not employees or agents of the Corporation but who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively, along with the directors and officers of the Corporation, such persons are referred to herein as “Corporate Functionaries”) against any and all liability and judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses that may be incurred by them in connection with or resulting from (i) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, (ii) an appeal in

such an action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, all to the full extent permitted by Article 2.02-1 of the Act, and the Corporation may indemnify such persons to the extent permitted by the Act as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Corporate Functionary and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.  Any director, officer, trustee, employees (but only those employees serving in an administrative capacity (A) as a fiduciary, (B) dealing with the Corporation’s international, national or regional financial matters, or (C) handling international, national or regional Team Member Services matters), agent, or similar functionary of any of the Corporation’s direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.

(c)           The rights to indemnification conferred in this Article VII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or proceeding, in advance of its final disposition (such advances to be paid by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time), to the maximum extent permitted by the Act as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader advancement rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), subject only to such written affirmation or undertaking as may be required to be furnished by the claimant under the Act.  The rights conferred upon Corporate Functionaries in this Article VII shall be contract rights that vest at the time of such person’s service to or at the request of the Corporation and such rights shall continue as to any such person who has ceased to so serve and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.  The rights conferred upon Corporate Functionaries in this Article VII shall be in addition to all rights to which any Corporate Functionary may be entitled under any agreement or vote of shareholders or as a matter of law or otherwise and cannot be terminated by the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination.  Any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of this Article VII that in any way diminishes, limits, restricts, adversely affects or eliminates any right of a Corporate Functionary or his or her successors to indemnification, advancement of expenses or otherwise shall be prospective only and shall not in any way diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such right with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission.

Section 2.               Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate Functionary against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as a Corporate Functionary, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against the liability under the Act or these Bylaws; provided, however, that if the insurance or other arrangement is with a person or entity that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the

Corporation would not have the power to indemnify the person only if including coverage for the additional liability has been approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.  Without limiting the power of the Corporation to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or arrangement, the Corporation may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the Corporation, (i) create a trust fund, (ii) establish any form of self-insurance, (iii) secure its indemnification obligation by grant of any security interest or other lien on the assets of the Corporation, or (iv) establish a letter of credit, guaranty or surety arrangement.  Any such insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained or established within the Corporation or its affiliates or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Corporation regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities thereof are owned in whole or in part by the Corporation.  In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as to the terms and conditions of such insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in an arrangement shall be conclusive, and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether directors participating in approving such insurance or other arrangement shall be beneficiaries thereof.
