(Amended and Restated on October 29, 2008)

The following Bylaws of Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Corporation”), were amended and restated in their entirety by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on October 29, 2008.

The following terms used herein shall have the following meanings: (i) “Bylaws” shall mean the Corporation’s Bylaws as in effect from time to time; (ii) “Certificate of Incorporation” or “Certificate” shall mean the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect from time to time; (iii) “OGCA” or “Act” shall mean the Oklahoma General Corporation Act as it may be amended from time to time; (iv) “Common Stock” shall mean the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock; (v) “whole Board” shall mean the total number of Directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies; and (vi) “Lead Independent Director” shall mean the Director elected from time to time by the Board to serve as the Lead Independent Director of the Board.

ARTICLE I — SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.01 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the Shareholders, for the election of Directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws and the OGCA, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix, which date shall be within six (6) months following the end of the fiscal year of the Corporation.

Section 1.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Shareholders may be called for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the OGCA, at any time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the sole right to determine the proper purpose or purposes of such meeting. Special meetings of the Shareholders shall be held at such places, dates and times as the Board of Directors may determine which shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. Business transacted at any special meeting of Shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the special meeting.

Section 1.03 Notice of Meetings; Waiver. The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause written notice of the place, date, and hour of each meeting of the Shareholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, to be given personally or by mail, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting, to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by the OGCA.

No notice of any meeting of Shareholders need be given to any Shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Shareholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. The attendance of any Shareholder at a meeting of Shareholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Corporation that such notice has been given, in the absence of fraud, will be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 1.04 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by the OGCA, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

Section 1.05 Adjournment. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Shareholders, then the chairman of the meeting or the Shareholders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn any meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the Shareholders of the Corporation need not be given if the place, date and hour thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or, if after the adjournment, a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, a notice of the adjourned meeting, conforming to the requirements of Section 1.03, shall be given to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.

Section 1.06 Voting. If a record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors for a meeting of Shareholders, every holder of record of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on such record date. If no record date has been fixed, then every holder of record of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in his, her or its name on the records of the Corporation at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by the OGCA, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such meeting.

Section 1.07 Voting by Ballot. At all meetings of Shareholders, unless the voting is conducted by inspectors, the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be

decided by the chairman of the meeting, as determined pursuant to Section 1.09. If ordered by the chairman of the meeting, the vote upon any election or question shall be taken by ballot and, upon like order, the voting shall be conducted by one or more inspectors, selected by such chairman of the meeting, in which event the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, shall be decided by such inspector(s). Unless ordered by the chairman of the meeting, or required by the OGCA, no vote of the Shareholders need be taken by written ballot or conducted by inspectors of election. Any vote which need not be taken by ballot may be conducted in any manner approved by the chairman of the meeting.

Section 1.08 Proxies. Any Shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the Shareholders may, by a written instrument signed by such Shareholder or his, her or its attorney-in-fact, authorize another person or persons to vote at any such meeting. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Shareholder executing it, except in those cases where the OGCA provides that a proxy shall be irrevocable. A Shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary. Each proxy shall be delivered to the inspectors of election prior to or at the meeting.

Section 1.09 Conduct of Shareholders’ Meetings. The Chief Executive Officer shall preside at all Shareholders’ meetings. A majority of the Board of Directors may designate another person to preside over a meeting of Shareholders.

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the Shareholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of the Shareholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to Shareholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (vi) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Section 1.10 List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger shall prepare a complete list of holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at any meeting of the Shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such holder and the number of shares of Common Stock registered in the name of each such holder; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or

other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the Corporation’s place of business.

The stock list shall also be kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and shall be open to examination during the meeting by any Shareholder who is present. The original or duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to the identity of the Shareholders entitled to examine the stock list and to vote in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Section 1.11 Inspectors of Elections. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of Shareholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of Shareholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of the inspector’s ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall ascertain the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and certify their determination of the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by the OGCA. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by the OGCA. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

Section 1.12 Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

(A) Annual Meetings of Shareholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the Shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of Shareholders only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) by any Shareholder of the Corporation who (i) was a Shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.12 and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12.

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.12(A)(1)(c), the Shareholder must have given

timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for Shareholder action. To be timely, a Shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day and not later than the close of business on the 90^th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual Shareholders’ meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a Shareholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper form, a Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary must:

(a) set forth, as to the Shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such Shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such Shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any, as of the date of such notice (which information may be supplemented by such Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (iii) any other information relating to such Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or the election of Directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”);

(b) if the notice relates to any business (other than the nomination of a Director) that the Shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Shareholder;

(c) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected), and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and

associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933 as if the Shareholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and

(d) with respect to each nominee for election to the Board of Directors, include the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 1.13. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent Director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable Shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 1.12(A)(2) to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Shareholder’s notice required by this Section 1.12 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of Shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of Shareholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any Shareholder of the Corporation who (i) is a Shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.12 and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Directors to the Board of Directors, any such Shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the Shareholder’s notice required by Section 1.12(A)(2) (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 1.13) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to such special meeting and the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a Shareholder’s notice as described above.

(C) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 shall be eligible to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of Shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.12, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(2) For purposes of this Section 1.12, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, a Shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of Shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Section 1.13. Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement. To be eligible to be a nominee for election as a Director of the Corporation, a person except incumbent Directors must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 1.12 to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) will abide by the provisions of the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Policy with respect to majority voting for Directors, (B) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a Director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a Director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (C) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a Director that has not been disclosed herein, and (D) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is made, would be in compliance, if elected as a Director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.

Section 1.14 Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Whenever the vote of Shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken for or in connection with any corporate action, such action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of Shareholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, shall be signed by the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Oklahoma, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Shareholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Shareholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 1.14 to the Corporation, written consents signed by the holders of all shares of outstanding Common Stock are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Oklahoma, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Shareholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a Shareholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a Shareholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 1.14, provided, that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the Shareholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the Shareholder.

ARTICLE II — DIRECTORS

Section 2.01 General Powers. Except as may otherwise be provided by the OGCA, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, the property, affairs and business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may be referred to herein as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”, and an individual member of the Board may be referred to as a “Director”.

Section 2.02 Number; Election. The number of Directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall be not less than five and shall be designated by resolution adopted by a vote of (i) two-thirds (2/3) of the whole Board, or (ii) at an annual or special meeting of the Shareholders by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote. No reduction in the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director prior to the expiration of his or her term. The

Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible with the term of office of one class expiring each year. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.03 and 2.12, the Directors shall be elected for three (3) year terms at each annual meeting of the Shareholders. Each Director and his or her replacement (whenever elected) shall hold office until the next annual election of the class for which each such Director has been chosen and his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. If the annual meeting for the election of Directors is not held on the date designated therefor, the Chief Executive Officer shall cause the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as convenient. At each meeting of the Shareholders for an uncontested election of Directors, provided a quorum is present, the Directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes validly cast, and, if the election is contested, by a plurality of the votes validly cast in such election, in each case, as provided by the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines as approved by the Board.

At the time of election or re-election, Directors must beneficially own shares of Common Stock and must be less than 70 years of age. A transfer by a Director of all of his shares of Common Stock shall automatically operate as his or her resignation as a Director.

Section 2.03 Vacancies; New Directorships. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum. The Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of the class for which each such Director has been chosen by the Board and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting solely 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.

Subject to Section 9.03, 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 an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person’s 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 such person 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 such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 9.02 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 9.03, 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 or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action

or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; 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 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 the court shall deem proper.

Section 9.03 Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under 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 present or former Director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director, officer or employee at the time of such determination: (i) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of such Directors designated by a majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by the Shareholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former Directors, officers and employees, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former Director, officer, and employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 9.04 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 9.03, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 9.04 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 9.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02, as the case may be.

Section 9.05 Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.03, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any present or former Director, officer or employee may apply to a

District Court of the State of Oklahoma for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 9.01 and 9.02. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.03, nor the absence of any determination thereunder, shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that such Director, officer or employee seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.05 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Director, officer or employee seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 9.06 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a Director, officer or employee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall 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 such Director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX.

Section 9.07 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any Bylaw, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IX shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 9.01 or 9.02 of this Article IX, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the OGCA, or otherwise.

Section 9.08 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX or of the OGCA.

Section 9.09 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article XI, references to “Director”, “officer” or “employee” shall include both present and former Directors, officers and employees. For 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 separate existence had continued,

would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers or employees, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan 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 such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article IX, 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 or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of 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 9.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Section 9.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 9.05), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any Director, officer or employee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.

Section 9.12 Indemnification of Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article IX to Directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

Section 9.13 Effect of Amendment or Repeal. Neither any amendment or repeal of any Section of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws inconsistent with this Article IX, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any present or former Director, officer, employee or other agent established pursuant to this Article IX existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, including, without limitation, by eliminating or reducing the effect of this Article IX, for or in respect of any act, omission or other matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article IX, would accrue or arise), prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Section 9.14 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article IX shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation,

all portions of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

9.15 Vesting of Rights Under Article IX. All rights and protection pursuant to this Article IX of any Director, officer or employee shall immediately vest and be effective upon the election of such Director or officer and the employment of such employee.

ARTICLE X — CORPORATION’S OPTION TO REPURCHASE STOCK OF LOST STOCKHOLDERS

Section 10.01 Option to Purchase. The Corporation shall have the option to repurchase the shares of its Common Stock of any Shareholder of record which has been abandoned upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article X. Common Stock is presumed abandoned if a dividend payment on the Common Stock has remained unclaimed by the Shareholder for a period of six and one-half (6 1/2) years and the Shareholder during this period has not communicated in writing with the Corporation regarding the Common Stock or such dividend or otherwise communicated with the Corporation regarding the Common Stock or such dividend as evidenced by a memorandum or other record on file with the Corporation prepared by an employee of the Corporation.

At the expiration of the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period following the failure of the Shareholder to claim a dividend payable to the Shareholder as a result of the Common Stock, the Common Stock is not presumed abandoned unless there has been at least six (6) dividends paid during this six and one-half (6 1/2) year period, none of which has been claimed by the Shareholder. If six (6) dividends are paid during this period, the period leading to a presumption of abandonment commences on the payment date of the first such unclaimed dividend. If six (6) dividends are not paid during the presumptive period, the period continues to run until there have been six (6) dividends that have not been claimed by the Shareholder. The running of the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period of abandonment ceases immediately upon the occurrence of a communication described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.01. If any future dividend is subsequently not claimed by the Shareholder, a new period of abandonment commences.

Section 10.02 Presumption of Abandonment. After expiration of the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period and on satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01 above, the Common Stock shall be presumed abandoned and the Corporation shall have the option to repurchase the abandoned Common Stock at the fair market value of the Common Stock at the close of trading on the day the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period expires.

Fair market value of the Common Stock means the closing price of the Common Stock on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed on the day on which such value is to be determined or, if no Common Stock is traded on such day, on the next preceding day on which stocks are traded on such exchange.

This option may be exercised by the Corporation at any time during the six (6) month period after expiration of the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period. The Corporation shall give ten (10) days written notice to the record holders of the Stock presumed abandoned prior to exercise of the option.

Section 10.03 Dividend Treatment. At any time Common Stock is presumed abandoned pursuant to this Article X, any dividend then held for or owing to the Shareholders of the Common Stock presumed abandoned is also presumed abandoned.

Section 10.04 Payment. The Common Stock shall be paid for by the Corporation in cash or by corporate check which shall be deposited in a special account maintained by the Corporation solely for this purpose. After expiration of the six (6) month period after expiration of the six and one-half (6 1/2) year period, the money in the special account, together with any accrued interest and dividends then held for or owing on the Common Stock shall be subject to the Oklahoma Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (60 O.S. § 651, et seq.).

Section 10.05. Retirement of Common Stock. Upon purchase of any Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to the exercise of options granted pursuant to this Article X, such Common Stock shall be retired and resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock.

ARTICLE XI — AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

Section 11.01 Amendment. These Bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted: (i) by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board at any special or regular meeting of the Board, if, in the case of such special meeting only, notice of such amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws is contained in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting; or (ii) by the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of the Shareholders if, in the case of such special meeting only, notice of such amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws is contained in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

ARTICLE XII — CONSTRUCTION

Section 12.01 Construction. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of these Bylaws as in effect from time to time and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation as in effect from time to time, the provisions of such Certificate of Incorporation shall be controlling. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the OGCA shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes a corporation, a natural person or any other legal entity.
