The designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including voting rights, of each series of Preferred Stock shall be such as are fixed by the board of directors, and stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors providing for the establishment of any such series of Preferred Stock. The board of directors is hereby expressly authorized to establish any series of unissued shares of Preferred Stock by fixing and determining the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including voting rights, of the shares of any series so established, within the limitations set forth in Article 2.13 of the Texas Business Corporation Act and herein, and to increase or decrease the number of shares within each such series; provided, however, that the board of directors may not decrease the number of shares within a series below the number of shares within such series that is then issued.

Except in respect of the particulars fixed by the board of directors for series established by the board of directors as permitted hereby, all shares of Preferred Stock shall be of equal rank and shall be identical. All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock so designated by the board of directors shall be alike in every particular, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.

1. Junior Stock. Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are junior to each series of Preferred Stock and are subject to all of the rights, privileges and preferences and priorities of Preferred Stock as herein set forth.

2. Dividends. Subject to all rights of each series of Preferred Stock, dividends may be paid on Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as and when declared by the board of directors of the corporation out of any funds of the corporation legally available for the payment thereof. The holders of record of Class A Common Stock and the holders of record of Class B Common Stock shall have equal rights and rank per share with respect to any and all dividends and distributions declared on the common stock of the corporation, and no dividend or distribution shall be declared or made with respect to either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock unless that dividend or distribution is declared and made with respect to both such classes; except that a dividend or distribution upon Class A Common Stock which will be paid in shares of common stock of the corporation shall be declared and made only in shares of Class A Common Stock and a dividend or distribution upon Class B Common Stock which will be paid in shares of common stock of the Corporation shall be declared and made only in shares of Class B Common Stock, and if a dividend or distribution is so declared and paid in shares of one class of common stock to the holder of each share of that class, a per-share dividend or distribution in an equal number of shares of the other class of common stock shall be concurrently declared and paid to the holder of each share of such other class, so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock paid as a dividend or distribution on a share of Class A Common Stock shall be equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock paid as a dividend or distribution on a share of Class B Common Stock.

Subject to all of the rights, privileges and preferences and priorities of each series of Preferred Stock, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of each series of Preferred Stock in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, to the extent of the liquidation preferences of such classes of stock, the remaining assets and funds of the corporation shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock according to their respective shares. Each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall rank equally with respect to any distribution to be received by holders of common stock upon or with respect to liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Subject to all of the rights, privileges and preferences and priorities of each series of Preferred Stock, (i) the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one-twentieth (1/20th) of one vote per share on all questions presented to the shareholders. In all elections of directors of the corporation, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to vote in person or by proxy one-twentieth (1/20th) of one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held by such holder for as many persons as there are directors to be elected.

Any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the corporation requiring the affirmative vote of a specified percentage of shares of the corporation shall be read to give effect to the lesser voting rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock as described above; specifically, a provision that the affirmative vote of a specified percentage of the shares of the corporation is required shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of that percentage of the aggregate voting power of the corporation.

2. Convertibility. The Class A Common Stock is not convertible into shares of Class B Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.
