<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">LIFO pools are established at the end of each fiscal year. During the first three quarters of
every year, LIFO calculations are based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO balances will fluctuate up and down in tandem with inventory levels and
costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter of 2009, the Company did not liquidate any LIFO inventory layers
established in prior years. During 2008, the Company liquidated the remainder of the LIFO
inventory layer established in 2006 and a portion of the layer established in 2005. As a result,
under the LIFO method, the inventory layers were liquidated at historical costs that were less than
current costs, which favorably impacted net income for the first quarter of 2008 by $658,000.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is party to a Financing Agreement with two banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as amended, the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;). The Financing
Agreement has been amended four times. In 2006, the Financing Agreement was amended twice. The
Financing Agreement was first amended May&nbsp;16, 2006, to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from
$85,000,000 to $150,000,000. The Financing Agreement was amended a second time on August&nbsp;31, 2006,
to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. In 2007, the Financing
Agreement was amended to reflect the Company as the primary obligor of the indebtedness as a result
of a reorganization transaction that became effective June&nbsp;30, 2007. The Financing Agreement was
amended a fourth time on August&nbsp;6, 2008, to decrease the Company&#146;s line of credit from $200,000,000
to $150,000,000. The Financing Agreement, as amended, extends through August&nbsp;6, 2013, and provides
for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $150,000,000 or the amount of eligible accounts receivable
plus the amount of eligible finished goods and raw materials, less any reserves established by the
banks. The calculated maximum borrowing amount available at March&nbsp;31, 2009, as computed under the
Financing Agreement, as amended, was $129,706,000. Borrowings under the line of credit bear
interest, at the Company&#146;s option, at either (1)&nbsp;LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.0% to 1.75%
depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings or (2)&nbsp;the base rate (which is
the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate) plus 0% to 0.25% (depending upon
the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings). A commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.375%
(depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings) is payable on the unused line
of credit. On March&nbsp;31, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Financing Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company, through its agent bank, is also a party to a Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;2004 Note
Purchase Agreement&#148;) with Hartford Life Insurance Company, Great-West Life &#038; Annuity Insurance
Company, London Life Insurance Company and London Life and Casualty Reinsurance Corporation
(collectively, the &#147;2004 Purchasers&#148;), whereby the Company issued and sold $45,000,000 of 5.27%
Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Fixed Rate Senior Notes&#148;) to the 2004
Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s outstanding
indebtedness under its previous financing agreement. Through its agent bank, the Company was also
a party to an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the Fixed Rate Senior Notes
to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year duration of these notes.
Commensurate with declining interest rates, the Company elected to terminate, prior to its
maturity, this swap agreement on November&nbsp;29, 2007. As a result of this swap termination, the
Company received cash proceeds and realized a net settlement gain of $929,231 that was recorded as
an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related debt in the consolidated balance sheet. This
settlement gain is being amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the associated long
term notes payable. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, $60,000 and $58,000 was
recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. The unamortized balance remaining at March&nbsp;31, 2009 was $614,737.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s operating results in any given time period are driven by several key factors,
including the volume of product produced and shipped, the cost of copper and other raw materials,
the competitive pricing environment in the wire industry and the resulting influence on gross
margins and the efficiency with which the Company&#146;s plants operate during the period, among others.
Price competition for electrical wire and cable is intense, and the Company sells its products in
accordance with prevailing market prices. Copper is the principal raw material used by the Company
in manufacturing its products. Copper accounted for approximately 90.3% and 86.5% of the Company&#146;s
cost of goods sold during fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The price of copper fluctuates,
depending on general economic conditions and in relation to supply and demand and other factors,
which has caused monthly variations in the cost of copper purchased by the Company. The Company
cannot predict future copper prices or the effect of fluctuations in the cost of copper on the
Company&#146;s future operating results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussion and analysis relates to factors that have affected the operating results
of the Company for the quarterly periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008. Reference should also be
made to the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the first quarter of 2009 amounted to $144.5&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$281.8&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2008. This dollar decrease was primarily the result of a
46.6% decrease in the price of wire sold and a 4.0% decrease in the volume of product shipped. The
average cost per pound of raw copper purchased decreased 53.7% in the first quarter of 2009
compared to the first quarter of 2008, and was the principal driver of the decreased average sales
price of wire. The Company believes the volume of wire sold decreased due to several factors
including the slowdown in construction throughout the United States that continued in 2009 and the
Company&#146;s concerted efforts to support price increases in the building wire industry instead of
cutting prices to increase volumes. Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a result of
changing copper raw material prices and product price competition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold decreased to $126.7&nbsp;million, or 87.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of
2009, compared to $246.3&nbsp;million, or 87.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2008. Gross
profit decreased to $17.8&nbsp;million, or 12.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2009 versus $35.5
million, or 12.6% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2008. The decreased gross profit and gross
margin percentages were primarily the result of the decreased wire &#147;spreads&#148; in 2009 versus 2008.
In comparing the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2008, the average sales price of
wire that contained a pound of copper decreased more than the average price of copper purchased
during the quarter. Margins were compressed as the &#147;spread&#148; between the price of wire sold and the
cost of raw copper purchased decreased by 22.8%, in addition to the volume decrease discussed
above.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">segment, the manufacture and sale of copper building wire products. As permitted by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, the Company maintains its inventory costs and cost of goods sold on
a first-in, first-out (FIFO)&nbsp;basis and makes a quarterly adjustment to adjust total inventory and
cost of goods sold from FIFO to LIFO. The Company applies the lower of cost or market (LCM)&nbsp;test
by comparing the LIFO cost of its raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories to
estimated market values, which are based primarily upon the most recent quoted market price of
copper, in pound quantities, as of the end of each reporting period. Additionally, future
reductions in the quantity of inventory on hand could cause copper that is carried in inventory at
costs different from the cost of copper in the period in which the reduction occurs to be included
in cost of goods sold for that period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of decreasing copper costs, offset slightly by a small increase in the quantity of
inventory on hand during the first quarter of 2009, a LIFO adjustment was recorded decreasing cost
of sales by $5.3&nbsp;million during the quarter. Based on copper prices at the end of the quarter, no
LCM adjustment was necessary. Future reductions in the price of copper could require the Company
to record an LCM adjustment against the related inventory balance, which would result in a negative
impact on net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the first quarter of 2009 were $7.6&nbsp;million, or 5.2% of net sales, compared to

was due to the fact that commissions paid to independent manufacturers reps are relatively constant
as a percentage of sales, and therefore, fell in concert with the decreased sales dollars. This
was offset somewhat on a percentage basis by freight costs which although down in dollar terms,
still rose in percentage terms due to the decrease in sales. Commissions and freight are the only
two components of selling expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $3.0&nbsp;million,
or 2.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.6&nbsp;million, or 0.9% of net sales,
in the first quarter of 2008. The general and administrative costs are semi-fixed by nature and
therefore do not fluctuate proportionately with sales, resulting in the percentage of sales
increase in 2009. The provision for bad debts was $75,000 in the first quarter of both 2009 and
2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The net interest and other income and expense category had a decrease in expense to $288,000 in the
first quarter of 2009 from $732,000 in the first quarter of 2008, due primarily to lower floating
interest rates on the Company&#146;s long-term debt. Income Taxes were accrued at an effective rate of 33.5%
in the first quarter of 2009 versus 32.8% in the first quarter of 2008 consistent with the
Company&#146;s estimated liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income decreased to $4.6&nbsp;million in the
first quarter of 2009 from $13.6&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2008.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains a substantial inventory of finished products to satisfy the prompt delivery
requirements of its customers. As is customary in the industry, the Company provides payment terms
to most of its customers that exceed terms that it receives from its suppliers. Therefore, the
Company&#146;s liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating capital necessary to finance these
receivables and inventory. Capital expenditures have historically been necessary to expand the
production capacity of the Company&#146;s manufacturing operations. The Company has historically

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">liquidity and capital expenditure needs with cash generated from operations, borrowings under its
various debt arrangements and sales of its common stock. Prior to building the current substantial
cash balance, the Company historically used its&#146; revolving credit facility to manage day to day
operating cash needs as required by daily fluctuations in working capital, and has the facility in
place should such a need arise in the future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is party to a Financing Agreement with two banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as amended, the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;). The Financing
Agreement has been amended four times. In 2006, the Financing Agreement was amended twice. The
Financing Agreement was first amended May&nbsp;16, 2006, to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from
$85,000,000 to $150,000,000. The Financing Agreement was amended a second time on August&nbsp;31, 2006,
to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. In 2007, the Financing
Agreement was amended to reflect the Company as the primary obligor of the indebtedness as a result
of a reorganization transaction that became effective June&nbsp;30, 2007. The Financing Agreement was
amended a fourth time on August&nbsp;6, 2008, to decrease the Company&#146;s line of credit from $200,000,000
to $150,000,000. The Financing Agreement, as amended, extends through August&nbsp;6, 2013, and provides
for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $150,000,000 or the amount of eligible accounts receivable
plus the amount of eligible finished goods and raw materials, less any reserves established by the
banks. The calculated maximum borrowing amount available at March&nbsp;31, 2009, as computed under the
Financing Agreement, as amended, was $129,706,000. Borrowings under the line of credit bear
interest, at the Company&#146;s option, at either (1)&nbsp;LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.0% to 1.75%
depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings or (2)&nbsp;the base rate (which is
the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate) plus 0% to 0.25% (depending upon
the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings). A commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.375%
(depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings) is payable on the unused line
of credit. On March&nbsp;31, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Financing Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company, through its agent bank, is also a party to a Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;2004 Note
Purchase Agreement&#148;) with Hartford Life Insurance Company, Great-West Life &#038; Annuity Insurance
Company, London Life Insurance Company and London Life and Casualty Reinsurance Corporation
(collectively, the &#147;2004 Purchasers&#148;), whereby the Company issued and sold $45,000,000 of 5.27%
Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Fixed Rate Senior Notes&#148;) to the 2004
Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s outstanding
indebtedness under its previous financing agreement. Through its agent bank, the Company was also
a party to an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the Fixed Rate Senior Notes
to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year duration of these notes.
Commensurate with declining interest rates, the Company elected to terminate, prior to its
maturity, this swap agreement on November&nbsp;29, 2007. As a result of this swap termination, the
Company received cash proceeds and realized a net settlement gain of $929,231 that was recorded as
an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related debt in the consolidated balance sheet. This
settlement gain is being amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the associated long
term notes payable. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, $60,000 and $58,000 was
recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. The unamortized balance remaining at March&nbsp;31, 2009 was $614,737.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September&nbsp;28, 2006, the Company, through its agent bank, entered into a second Note Purchase
Agreement (the &#147;2006 Note Purchase Agreement&#148;) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Metlife
Insurance Company of Connecticut and Great-West Life &#038; Annuity Insurance Company, whereby the
Company issued and sold $55,000,000 of Floating Rate Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2006-A, due September&nbsp;30,
2011 (the &#147;Floating Rate Senior Notes&#148;), the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the
Company&#146;s outstanding indebtedness under its Financing Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Obligations under the Financing Agreement, the Fixed Rate Senior Notes and the Floating Rate Senior
Notes are unsecured and contain customary covenants and events of default. The Company was in
compliance with these covenants, as amended, as of March&nbsp;31, 2009. Under the Financing Agreement,
the 2004 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is allowed to
pay cash dividends subject to calculated limits based on earnings. At March&nbsp;31, 2009, the total
balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement, the Fixed Rate Senior Notes and the Floating
Rate Senior Notes was $100,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement are payable
on August&nbsp;6, 2013, with interest payments due quarterly. Interest payments on the Fixed Rate
Senior Notes are due semi-annually, while interest payments on the Floating Rate Senior Notes are
due quarterly. Obligations under the Financing Agreement, the 2004 Note Purchase Agreement and the
2006 Note Purchase Agreement are the only contractual borrowing obligations or commercial borrowing
commitments of the Company.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash provided by operating activities was $25.7&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
$29.2&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2008. The following changes in components of cash flow were
notable. Earnings decreased in 2009 versus 2008, providing $9.0&nbsp;million less cash. Accounts
receivable declined in the first quarter of 2009, providing $16.4&nbsp;million in cash, while accounts
receivable rose by $18.8&nbsp;million in 2008, resulting in a use of cash. The dollar value of
inventories increased slightly in 2009, consuming $2.0&nbsp;million in cash versus a source of cash of
$5.6&nbsp;million due to a decrease in inventory in 2008. In 2009, there was $17.5&nbsp;million less cash
provided in the current income taxes receivable / payable category than in 2008, primarily due to
the swing from a $9.8&nbsp;million tax receivable at the end of 2007 to a $8.3&nbsp;million payable at the
end of Q-1 2008. These changes in cash flow were the primary drivers of the $3.5&nbsp;million decrease
in cash flow from operations in the first quarters of 2009 versus 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in investing activities increased to $12.2&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2009 from $3.9
million in the first quarter of 2008. In 2009 and 2008, the funds were used primarily for
equipment purchases. The first quarter of 2009 had larger expenditures than 2008 due to the timing
of equipment purchases. The $441,000 of cash used by financing activities in the first quarter of
2009 was primarily a result of the Company&#146;s payment of a dividend to stockholders. In 2009, the
Company&#146;s revolving line of credit remained at $0 throughout the quarter, with an ending cash
balance of $230.7&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the remainder of 2009, the Company expects its capital expenditures will consist primarily
of purchases of additional plant and equipment for its building wire operations. The total capital
expenditures for all of 2009 associated with these projects are currently estimated to be in the
$19.0 to $23.0&nbsp;million range. The Company will continue to manage its working capital requirements.
These requirements may increase as a result of expected sales increases and may be impacted by the
price of copper. The Company believes that the current cash balance,
the cash flow from operations and the financing
available under the
Financing Agreement will satisfy working capital and capital expenditure requirements during 2009.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Section&nbsp;5</U>. <U>Conversion Right</U>. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
convertible into Common Stock as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;<U>Optional Conversion</U>. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;5, the holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at such
holder&#146;s option, at any time or from time to time, from and after the date of original issuance
thereof, to convert all or any part of such holder&#146;s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the terms hereinafter set forth.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;<U>Number of Shares</U>. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible
into one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described in subsection&nbsp;5(e).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;<U>Mechanics of Conversion</U>. The holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
may exercise the conversion right specified in subsection 5(a) by surrendering to the Corporation
or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the shares to be
converted, accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert all, or a
specified portion of, the shares represented thereby. Conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected on the date when delivery of notice of an election to convert and certificates for shares
is made, and any such date is referred to herein as the &#147;Conversion Date&#148;. Subject to the
provisions of clause (v)&nbsp;of subsection 5(e), as promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation
shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled rounded up to the
next whole share as provided in subsection 5(d). Subject to the provisions of clause (v)&nbsp;of
subsection 5(e), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates of Common Stock are to be
issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable
Conversion Date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;<U>Fractional Shares</U>. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued
upon conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional shares of
Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall
be increased to the next higher number of whole shares.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;<U>Conversion Adjustments</U>. The securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <U>Stock Dividends</U>. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any time after the date of issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock is increased by a
stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares
of Common Stock, then immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend or the effective date of
such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible shall be increased so that
the holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter converted shall be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which he would
have owned immediately following such action had such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
been converted immediately prior thereto.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <U>Combination of Stock</U>. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time after the date of issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock is decreased by a
combination or reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
immediately after the effective date of such combination or reverse stock split, the number
of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible shall be decreased so that the holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation which he would have owned immediately following such action had such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior thereto.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <U>Reorganizations</U>. In case of any capital reorganization of the
Corporation, or of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or in case of the consolidation
of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation with or into any other person or of
the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to any other person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other assets
or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any other securities of the
Corporation (except Common Stock) to the holders of its Common Stock, each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be convertible
into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which the Common Stock
issuable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution), upon conversion of such share
of Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution
in place of (or in addition to, in the case of any such event after which Common Stock
remains outstanding) the shares of Common Stock into which such share of Convertible
Preferred Stock would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if necessary,
the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
holders of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted so as
to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any share of stock or other securities
or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock.

events described in (i), (ii)&nbsp;or (iii)&nbsp;of this subsection 5(e) occur more than once, the
procedures in those clauses shall be repeated so that each holder of Convertible Preferred

prior to the occurrence of the events described in (i), (ii)&nbsp;or (iii).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <U>Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments</U>. In
any case in which the provisions of this subsection 5(e) shall require that an adjustment
shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may
defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any share of Convertible
Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
additional shares of Common Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon such
conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of
Common Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving
effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall
deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder&#146;s
right to receive such additional shares or other property, upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;<U>Statement Regarding Adjustments</U>. Whenever there is an adjustment as provided in
subsection 5(e), the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
Convertible Preferred Stock and at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in
detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the conversion ratio that shall be in effect after
such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail,
first class postage prepaid, to each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at such
holder&#146;s address appearing on the Corporation&#146;s records. Where appropriate, such copy may be given
in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of
subsection 5(g).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;<U>Notice to Holders</U>. In the event the Corporation shall propose to take any action
of the type described in clause (i), (ii)&nbsp;or (iii)&nbsp;of subsection 5(e), the Corporation shall give
written notice to each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, in the manner set forth in
subsection 5(f), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such
action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set
forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of
such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the conversion
ratio and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be
deliverable or purchasable upon the occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of
a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10&nbsp;days prior to the date so fixed, and in case
of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15&nbsp;days prior to the taking of such
proposed action.

Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified
individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and its related entities;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company&#146;s Bylaws expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee desire to continue to have in place the additional

proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee
should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party
that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be
binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense
Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all

Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be
indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to
commence litigation in any court in the State of Texas or Delaware having subject matter
jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the

commence such litigation following a determination by the Reviewing Party, such
