9. The number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be set forth in the bylaws of the corporation. If there are nine (9) or more directors, the terms of the directors may be staggered by dividing the total number of directors into two (2) or three (3) groups, with each group containing one-half (1/2) or one-third (1/3) of the total, as near as may be. In that event, the terms of directors in the first group expire at the first annual shareholders’ meeting after their election, the terms of the second group expire at the second annual shareholders’ meeting after their election. At each annual shareholders’ meeting held thereafter, directors shall be

10. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than by action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonable believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,

pending or completed action or suite by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by a reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suite was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Any indemnification under this paragraph (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon the determination that the indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of

disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this paragraph. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, if the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

11. No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director involving any act or omission of any such director occurring on or after May 19, 1988; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Arkansas Code Annotated Section 4-27-833, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any action, or omission, transaction, or breach of a director’s duty creating any third party liability to any person or entity other than the corporation or stockholder. Any appeal or modification of this paragraph by the stockholders of the corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect

any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

12. The affairs of the corporation shall be governed by the provisions of the Arkansas Business Corporation Act of 1987 (A.C.A. § 4-27-1706).

13. The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or appeal any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
