Your appearers declare that they appear and make this authentic act setting forth an amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation by adding Article VIII thereto. Your appearers do certify that a resolution amending the Restated Articles of Incorporation was duly adopted pursuant to LSA-R.S. 12:31, et seq., by the shareholders at a duly called and convened meeting on April 25, 1988 by the affirmative vote of in excess of two-thirds of the voting power present at said meeting, and the notice of said meeting set forth the proposed amendment.

At the meeting, upon motion by Mr. Trimble and seconded by Mr. Musser, the shareholders approved the amendment to add Article VIII to the Restated Articles of Incorporation which amendment is hereinafter stated in full.

 

Accordingly, the Restated Articles of Incorporation of CALCASIEU REAL ESTATE & OIL CO., INC. are amended by adding Article VIII thereto, to-wit:

 

“ARTICLE VIII

 

No director or officer of this Corporation shall be personally liable to this Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability (i) for breach of the director’s or officer’s duty or loyalty to this Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 92(D) of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director of officer derived an improper personal benefit. If the Louisiana Business Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors and officers, then the liability of each director and officer of this Corporation shall be limited or eliminated to the full extent permitted by the Louisiana Business Corporation Law as so amended from time to time. Neither the amendment nor appeal of this Article, nor the adoption of any provision of this Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with the Article, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article, in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.”
