Matters Other than Consents to Action</u>.&#160;
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 a distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution involving
a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a
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 not to exceed, in
any case, sixty days.&#160; If the share
transfer records shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such records
shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting.&#160; 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 sixty 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.&#160;
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 a distribution
(other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the
Corporation of any of its own shares) or a 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.&#160; When a determination of
shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as
provided in this Section&nbsp;5, such determination shall apply to any
adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the
closing of the share transfer records and the stated period of closing has
expired.</font></p>

Consents to Action</u>.&#160; Unless a record
date shall have previously been fixed or determined pursuant to Section&nbsp;5
of this Article 2, 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.&#160;
If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and the prior
action of the Board of Directors is not required by the Texas Business
Corporation 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 books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are
recorded.&#160; Delivery shall be by hand or
by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.&#160; Delivery to the Corporation&#146;s principal place
of business shall be addressed to the President or the Chief Executive Officer
of the Corporation.&#160; 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 Texas Business Corporation 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.</font></p>
