The voting at all meetings of shareholders may be viva voce but any qualified voter may demand a share vote by written ballot, whereupon such share vote shall be taken by written ballot each of which shall state the name of the shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by him, and if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall also state the name of such proxy.

The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a time as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the meeting or action nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting or action. The Board of Directors may also fix, in advance, a time as a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action which shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the event for the purpose of which it is fixed. When a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of record on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or to receive a dividend, distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date. In lieu of fixing a record date, the Board of Directors may close the books of the Corporation against any transfer of shares for a stated period but not to exceed in any case the maximum periods set forth above.
SECTION 7.6. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the exclusive owner thereof for all purposes, and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law.
SECTION 7.7. Lost Certificates. No new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old one unless the latter is surrendered and cancelled at the same time; provided that if any certificate for shares is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof, upon such terms and conditions, including indemnification of the Corporation reasonably satisfactory to it, as the Board of Directors shall determine.
SECTION 7.8. Treasury Shares. Treasury shares, or other shares not at the time issued and outstanding, shall not, directly or indirectly, be voted at any meeting of the shareholders, or counted in calculating the actual voting power of shareholders at any given time. Treasury shares shall not have dividend rights.

the discretion of the Board of Directors. The registered ownership of any fractional share represented by such certificate or certificates shall entitle the holder thereof to receive dividends, participate in the corporate assets in the event of liquidation of the Corporation and to exercise voting rights in person or by proxy.

ARTICLE IX Indemnification
SECTION 9.1. Indemnification: Actions Other Than by the Corporation. The Corporation shall have the power to 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 an 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 in which 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 9.2. Indemnification: Actions by the Corporation. The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor 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, 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 in which such action or suit 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 such court shall deem proper.

SECTION 9.3. Right to Indemnification. To the extent that any present or former director, officer or employee or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or any agent of the Corporation or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Article IX, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
SECTION 9.4. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Article IX, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Article IX. Such determination shall be made: (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c) by the shareholders.
SECTION 9.5. Advance Indemnification. Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX.
SECTION 9.6. Non-Exclusive Indemnification. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, contract, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 9.7. Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.
SECTION 9.8. Constituent Corporation. For the purposes of this Article IX, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation, including any constituent of a constituent, absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
16


LOGO

separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
SECTION 9.9. Definitions. For purposes of this Article IX, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest in the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article IX.

SECTION 10.4. Notice. Whenever any notice is required or permitted to be given under the provisions of any law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, it shall not be construed to require personal notice unless expressly so stated, but such notice may be given by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the person entitled thereto at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such mailing.

17


LOGO

under the provisions of any law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall-constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation.
SECTION 10.6. Conflicts of Interest. Except as may be otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Oklahoma or the Certificate of Incorporation, no contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of the directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are accounted for such purpose; if: (a) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or such committee, and the Board of Directors or Executive Committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (b) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the shareholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

The Corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the Corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the Corporation or its subsidiary whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the Corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the Corporation.

SECTION 10.8. Amendment. These Bylaws may be amended, altered, changed or repealed at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, provided notice of the proposed amendment, alteration, change or repeal is contained in the notice of such meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote thereat. These Bylaws also may be amended, altered, changed or repealed at any annual or special meeting of the Board of Directors, provided notice of the proposed amendment, alteration, change or repeal is contained in
18


LOGO

the notice of such meeting, by the affirmative vote of the members of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the fact that such power to amend, alter, change or repeal has been conferred upon the Board of Directors shall not divest the shareholders of the power, nor limit their power to amend, alter, change or repeal these Bylaws.
