RECITALS A. The respective Boards of Directors of Giant and Holly have approved the merger of Holly with and into Giant (the "Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Holly ("Holly Common Stock"), other than shares owned by Giant, Holly or any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.01(b)). B. The respective Boards of Directors of Giant and Holly have each determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consistent with, and in furtherance of, their respective business strategies and goals. C. Giant and Holly desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger. D. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows: AGREEMENTS ARTICLE I THE MERGER 1.01. THE MERGER. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), Holly shall be merged with and into Giant at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.03). Following the Effective Time, Giant shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Holly in accordance with the DGCL. 1.02. CLOSING. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the parties (the "Closing Date"), which (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.02 and 6.03) shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01, unless another time or date is agreed to by the parties. The Closing will be held at such location in the City of Phoenix, Arizona as is agreed to by the parties. 1.03. EFFECTIVE TIME.

The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, or at such subsequent date or time as Giant and Holly shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being hereinafter referred to as the "Effective Time"). 1.04. EFFECTS OF THE MERGER. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL. 1.05. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. (a) The certificate of incorporation of Giant, as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time as set forth in Exhibit A and, as so amended and restated, such certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law. (b) The bylaws of Giant, as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time as set forth in Exhibit B and, as so amended and restated, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law. 1.06. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Giant shall cause the Board of Directors and officers of Giant immediately prior to the effective time to resign. The Board of Directors (including classes thereof) and senior officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be as set forth in Exhibit C until the earlier of the resignation or removal of any individual listed on or designated in accordance with Exhibit C or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, it being agreed that if any director shall be unable to serve as a director at the Effective Time, the party which designated such individual as indicated in Exhibit C shall designate another individual to serve in such individual's place. If any officer listed on or appointed in accordance with Exhibit C ceases to be a full-time employee of either Holly or Giant prior to the Effective Time, the parties will agree upon another person to serve in such person's stead. The committees of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation will be elected by the Board of Directors in accordance with the bylaws as amended and restated. 1.07 SURVIVING CORPORATION'S HEADQUARTERS.

ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES 2.01. EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Holly Common Stock or on the part of the holder of any shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Giant ("Giant Common Stock"): (a) CANCELLATION OF TREASURY STOCK AND GIANT-OWNED STOCK. Each share, if any, of Holly Common Stock that is owned by Holly or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. (b) CONVERSION OF HOLLY COMMON STOCK. Subject to Sections 2.02(e) and (j), all of the issued and outstanding shares (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a)) of Holly Common Stock shall be converted, in the aggregate, into the right to receive (i) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Giant Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Giant Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) cash in an amount equal to $25,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Holly Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Holly Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time, (B) the number of shares of Holly Common Stock subject to Holly stock options (whether vested or unvested) outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and (C) the number of Holly phantom stock rights outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (with the consideration described in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to as the "Merger Consideration"). Accordingly, each issued and outstanding share of Holly Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a)) shall be converted into the right to receive a fraction of the Merger Consideration equal to one divided by the number of shares of Holly Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a), and assuming no exercise, conversion or exchange of outstanding in-the-money options, warrants and other rights to acquire Holly Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Holly Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Holly Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Giant Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, without interest. 2.02. EXCHANGE. (a) EXCHANGE AGENT. As of the Effective Time, Giant shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Giant and Holly (the "Exchange Agent"), which shall provide that Giant shall deposit with the Exchange Agent as of the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Holly Common Stock and for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, the Merger Consideration (such shares of Giant Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time, any cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Giant Common Stock, and the cash portion of the Merger Consideration being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 in exchange for issued and outstanding shares of Holly Common Stock. (b) EXCHANGE PROCEDURES. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Holly Common Stock (the "Certificates") whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Giant and Holly may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as reasonably may be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Giant Common Stock and cash which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Holly Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Holly, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Giant Common Stock may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Giant Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Giant that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration and other cash, if any, which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. (c) DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO UNEXCHANGED SHARES. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Giant Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(e), and all such dividends, other distributions and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Giant Common Stock shall be paid by Giant to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Giant Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Giant Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Giant Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Giant Common Stock (d) NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN HOLLY COMMON STOCK. All shares of Giant Common Stock issued and cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Holly Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Holly on such shares of Holly Common Stock which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Holly Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by law. (e) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. (i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Giant Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Giant shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Giant. (ii) In lieu of any such fractional shares, the Surviving Corporation shall pay each holder of Holly Common Stock an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Holly Common Stock held at the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (B) the closing price for a share of Giant Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") Composite Transaction Tape (as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or, if not reported therein, any other authoritative source) on the Closing Date. (iii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Holly Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent will make available such amounts to such holders of Holly Common Stock subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(b). (f) TERMINATION OF EXCHANGE FUND. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Giant, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates who have not previously complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Giant for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Giant Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Holly Common Stock or Giant Common Stock. (g) NO LIABILITY. None of Giant, Holly or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Giant Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration, any cash payable to the holder of such Certificate representing Holly Common Stock pursuant to this Article II or any dividends or distributions payable to the holder of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.01(d)), any such Merger Consideration or cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. (h) INVESTMENT OF EXCHANGE FUND. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Giant, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Giant. (i) LOST CERTIFICATES. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in lieu of fractional shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Giant Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement. (j) DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Holly Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder (if any) who is entitled to demand, and who properly demands, appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into a right to receive Merger Consideration unless such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's right to appraisal, if any. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or loses any such right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b). Holly shall give prompt written notice to Giant of any demands received by Holly for appraisal of shares of Holly Common Stock and Giant shall have the right to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, Holly shall not, except with the prior written consent of Giant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been allocated to the Dissenting Shares if the holders thereof had not properly perfected their appraisal rights will not be paid under Section 2.01(b). ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 3.01. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLLY. Except as disclosed in the Holly Filed SEC Documents (as such term is defined in Section 3.01(g)) or as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by Holly to Giant prior to the execution of this Agreement, which schedule shall identify exceptions and other information by specific Section references (the "Holly Disclosure Schedule"), Holly represents and warrants to Giant as follows: (a) ORGANIZATION, STANDING AND CORPORATE POWER. Each of Holly and its Significant Subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the requisite corporate or other power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of Holly and its Significant Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect (as defined in Section 8.03) on Holly. Holly has delivered or made available to Giant prior to the execution of this Agreement complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and has made available to Giant the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of its Significant Subsidiaries, in each case as amended to date. As used in this Agreement, a "Significant Subsidiary" means any subsidiary of Holly or Giant, as the case may be, that would constitute a "significant subsidiary" of such party within the meaning of Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). (b) SUBSIDIARIES. Exhibit 21.1 to Holly's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997 includes all the subsidiaries of Holly which as of the date of this Agreement are Significant Subsidiaries. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each such Significant Subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned directly or indirectly by Holly, free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, "Liens"). (c) CAPITAL STRUCTURE. The authorized capital stock of Holly consists of 20,000,000 shares of Holly Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Holly Preferred Stock"). At the close of business on April 14, 1998, (i) 8,253,514 shares of Holly Common Stock were issued and outstanding, (ii) 396,768 shares of Holly Common Stock were held by Holly in its treasury, (iii) no shares of Holly Preferred Stock were designated, issued, outstanding or held by Holly in its treasury, and (iv) 751,500 shares of Holly Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Holly Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Holly Stock Plan"). Except as set forth above, at the close of business on April 14, 1998: (x) no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of Holly were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding; and (y) there were no outstanding stock appreciation rights (other than to the extent Holly phantom stock rights could be deemed to constitute such rights). The Holly Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list, as of April 14, 1998, of the number of shares of Holly Common Stock subject to outstanding options under the Holly Stock Plan and the exercise prices thereof. All outstanding shares of capital stock of Holly are, and all shares which may be issued will be, when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights. As of the close of business on April 14, 1998, there were no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Holly having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of Holly may vote. Except for options outstanding under the Holly Stock Plan, as of the close of business on April 14, 1998, there were no outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which Holly or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound obligating Holly or any of its subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other voting securities of Holly or of any of its subsidiaries or obligating Holly or any of its subsidiaries to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking. As of the close of business on April 14, 1998, there were no outstanding contractual obligations of Holly or any of its subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of Holly or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries. As of the close of business on April 14, 1998, there were no outstanding contractual obligations of Holly to vote or to dispose of any shares of the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries. (d) AUTHORITY; NONCONTRAVENTION. Holly has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the Holly Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 3.01(m)), to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holly and the consummation by Holly of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Holly, subject to Holly Stockholder Approval. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Holly and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Holly, enforceable against Holly in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a material benefit under, or result in any obligation to or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Holly or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under, (i) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Holly or the comparable organizational documents of any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (ii) any material loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other material agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license applicable to Holly or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, (iii) any employment, consulting or similar agreement, or (iv) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in the following sentence, any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Holly or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than any such conflicts, violations, defaults, rights, losses or Liens that individually or in the aggregate would not (x) have a material adverse effect on Holly, (y) materially impair the ability of Holly to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (z) prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court, administrative or regulatory agency or commission or other governmental authority or agency (a "Governmental Entity") is required by or with respect to Holly or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holly or the consummation by Holly of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for: (1) the filing of a premerger notification and report form by Holly under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"); (2) the filing with the SEC of (A) a proxy statement relating to the Holly Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 5.01(b)) (such proxy statement, together with the proxy statement relating to the Giant Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 5.01(c)), in each case as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Joint Proxy Statement"), and (B) such reports under Section 13(a), 13(d), 15(d) or 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which Holly is qualified to do business; (4) such other filings and consents as may be required under any environmental, health or safety law or regulation pertaining to any notification, disclosure or required approval necessitated by the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (5) such consents, approvals, orders or authorizations the failure of which to be made or obtained would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Holly. (e) SEC DOCUMENTS; UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Holly has timely filed all required reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents with the SEC since August 1, 1996 (the "Holly SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the Holly SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Holly SEC Documents, and none of the Holly SEC Documents when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of Holly and Giant shall (i) promptly make or cause to be made the filings required of such party or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger, (ii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request under the HSR Act for additional information, documents, or other material received by such party or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice or other Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, the Merger or such other transactions, and (iii) cooperate with the other party in connection with any such filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Entity under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, or orders that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, the "Antitrust Laws") with respect to any such filing, the Merger, or any such other transaction. Each party shall promptly inform the other party of any material communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking, or agreement with, any Governmental Entity regarding any such filings, the Merger, or any such other transactions. Neither party shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other party notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate. (d) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of Holly and Giant shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any other transactions provided for in this Agreement under the Antitrust Laws. In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the transaction as violative of any Antitrust Law, and, if by mutual agreement, Holly and Giant decide that litigation is in their best interests, each of Holly and Giant shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts vigorously to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any order that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Merger. Each of Holly and Giant shall use its reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05, neither Holly nor Giant shall be required to divest any of its businesses, product lines, or assets, or to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that would have a material adverse effect on such party. 5.06. STOCK OPTIONS AND PHANTOM STOCK RIGHTS. (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of Holly (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Holly Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the following: (i) adjust the terms of all outstanding Holly Employee Stock Options granted under the Holly Stock Plan, whether vested or unvested, as necessary to provide that, immediately after the Effective Time, each Holly Employee Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Holly Employee Stock Option, including vesting, the same Giant Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration the holder of such Holly Employee Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such Holly Employee Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share of Giant Common Stock equal to (a) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Holly Common Stock pursuant to such Holly Employee Stock Option divided by (b) the aggregate number of shares of Giant Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such Holly Employee Stock Option (each, as so adjusted, an "Adjusted Option"); provided, however, that in the case of any option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under any of Sections 422 through 424 of the Code ("qualified stock options"), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the Code; (ii) make such other changes to the Holly Stock Plan as Holly and Giant may agree are appropriate to give effect to the Merger; and (iii) adjust the terms of all outstanding Holly phantom stock rights and take all such actions as necessary to make them obligations of Giant consistent with the adjustment provisions of Section 5.06(a)(i) regarding options. Immediately following the Effective Time, Giant shall pay to each holder of Holly Employee Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time an amount in cash (subject to applicable withholding) equal to the number of Holly shares that were subject to such holder's Holly stock options (whether vested or unvested) immediately before the Effective Time times the amount in cash paid per issued and outstanding Holly share as part of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b). In addition, immediately following the Effective Time, Giant shall pay to each holder of Holly phantom share rights immediately before the Effective Time an amount in cash (subject to applicable withholding) equal to the number of phantom shares held by such holder immediately before the Effective Time times the amount in cash paid per Holly share as part of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b). This provision shall be interpreted so that the sum of the total cash Merger Consideration payable at the Effective Time under Section 2.01(b) (whether or not actually paid) and the total of the cash payments (including applicable withholding) required to be made under this Section 5.06(a) shall in all cases equal but not exceed $25,000,000, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(j). Such payments shall be in lieu of any other payment or adjustment to any holder of a Holly Employee Stock Option or Holly phantom share right relating to the cash portion of the Merger Consideration. (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Giant shall deliver to the holders of Holly Employee Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to the Holly Stock Plan and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Holly Employee Stock Options and that such Holly Employee Stock Options and agreements shall be assumed by Giant and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 5.06 after giving effect to the Merger). Giant shall comply with the terms of the Holly Stock Plan and ensure, to the extent required by and subject to the provisions of such Holly Stock Plan, that the Holly Employee Stock Options which qualified as qualified stock options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as qualified stock options after the Effective Time. (c) Giant shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption of the Holly Stock Plan pursuant to Section 5.06(a), including the reservation, issuance and listing of Giant Common Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by Section 5.06(a). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Giant shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 or other appropriate form with respect to shares of Giant Common Stock subject to Holly Employee Stock Options issued under the Holly Stock Plan and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement or registration statements covering such Holly Employee Stock Options (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Holly Employee Stock Options remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals, if any, who subsequent to the Effective Time will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Giant shall use all reasonable efforts to administer the Holly Stock Plan assumed pursuant to Section 5.06(b) in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent the Holly Stock Plan complied with such rule prior to the Merger. (d) A holder of an Adjusted Option may exercise such Adjusted Option in whole or in part in accordance with its terms by delivering a properly executed notice of exercise to Giant, together with the consideration therefor and the federal withholding tax information, if any, required in accordance with the Holly Stock Plan. (e) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 5.06, all restrictions or limitations on transfer and vesting with respect to Holly Employee Stock Options awarded under the Holly Stock Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement of Holly or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent that such restrictions or limitations shall not have already lapsed, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such options after giving effect to the Merger and the assumption by Giant as set forth above. (f) Giant shall have the right to meet its obligation to assume the Holly Employee Stock Options under this Section 5.06 by granting to the holder of Holly Employee Stock Options as soon as practicable after the Effective Time substitute options to acquire shares of Giant Common Stock on identical terms as prescribed herein. (g) Giant has certain outstanding stock options and phantom stock rights which will become fully vested and will unless amended be required to be cashed-out as a result of the Merger. Giant shall amend such options to provide the holders thereof with the right to elect to be cashed out or to reject the cash-out and continue to hold the option, as the case may be. Giant shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the holders of such options, prior to the Effective Time, to reject the cash-out and continue to hold the options. Giant shall use its best efforts to obtain, prior to the Effective Time, waivers from the holders of its phantom stock rights of the acceleration of vesting triggered by the Merger (and, accordingly, any cash-out rights associated with the accelerated vesting). Giant also has certain employment agreements that include change of control provisions that may be triggered on account of the Merger. Giant shall use its best efforts to cause such employment agreements to be amended prior to the Effective Time to limit the change of control payments thereunder so that such payments will not constitute excess parachute payments triggering excise tax liability under the Code. 5.07. CERTAIN EMPLOYEE MATTERS. Following the Effective Time, Giant, as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, will honor all obligations under employment agreements of Holly or Giant the existence of which does not constitute a violation of this Agreement (including those agreements entered into by Holly pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(xiii)) in accordance with the terms thereof. 5.08. INDEMNIFICATION, EXCULPATION AND INSURANCE. (a) Giant agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Holly and its subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification agreements of Holly, the existence of which does not constitute a breach of this Agreement, shall be assumed by Giant, as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, as of the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Surviving Corporation shall (i) maintain in effect for not less than three years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Holly with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage (with carriers comparable to Holly's existing carriers) containing terms and conditions which are not materially less advantageous to the former or current (immediately prior to the Effective Time) directors or officers of Holly and its subsidiaries and (ii) upon the request of any former or current (immediately prior to the Effective Time) director or officer of Holly or any of its subsidiaries, enter into a contract obligating the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and exculpate such individual for liabilities as described in this Section 5.08. In addition, from and after the Effective Time, directors and officers of Holly who become directors or officers of Giant will be entitled to the same indemnity rights and protections as are afforded to other directors and officers of Giant. (b) In the event that Giant or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Giant assume the obligations set forth in this Section. (c) The provisions of this Section 5.08 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. 5.09. FEES AND EXPENSES. (a) Except as set forth in this Section 5.09, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except that each of Giant and Holly shall bear and pay one-half of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the filing, printing and mailing of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement (including SEC filing fees) and (ii) the filings of the premerger notification and report forms under the HSR Act (including filing fees). (b) In the event that (i) a Holly Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to Holly or any of its subsidiaries or has been made directly to its stockholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Holly Takeover Proposal and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Giant or Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or (ii), or (ii) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(g) or (y) by Giant pursuant to Section 7.01(e), then Holly shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, pay Giant a fee equal to $8,000,000 (the "Termination Fee"), payable by wire transfer of same day funds; provided, however, that no Termination Fee shall be payable to Giant pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph (b) or pursuant to a termination by Giant pursuant to Section 7.01(e) unless and until within 18 months of such termination Holly or any of its subsidiaries enters into any Holly Acquisition Agreement or consummates any Holly Takeover Proposal (for the purposes of the foregoing proviso the terms "Holly Acquisition Agreement" and "Holly Takeover Proposal" shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 4.02). Holly acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 5.09(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Giant would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Holly fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 5.09(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Giant commences a suit which results in a judgment against Holly for the fee set forth in this Section 5.09(b), Holly shall pay to Giant its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. In the event of a termination by Giant pursuant to Section 7.01(e), Holly shall promptly pay upon Giant's request all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Giant in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, which payments shall be credited against any Termination Fee that may subsequently become payable. (c) In the event that (i) a Giant Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to Giant or any of its subsidiaries or has been made directly to its stockholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Giant Takeover Proposal and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Giant or Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or (iii), or (ii) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Giant pursuant to Section 7.01(d) or (y) by Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(h), then Giant shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, pay Holly the Termination Fee, payable by wire transfer of same day funds; provided, however, that no Termination Fee shall be payable to Holly pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph (c) or pursuant to a termination by Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(h) unless and until within 18 months of such termination Giant or any of its subsidiaries enters into any Giant Acquisition Agreement or consummates any Giant Takeover Proposal (for the purposes of the foregoing proviso the terms "Giant Acquisition Agreement" and "Giant Takeover Proposal" shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 4.03. Giant acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 5.09(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Holly would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Giant fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 5.09(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, Holly commences a suit which results in a judgment against Giant for the fee set forth in this Section 5.09(c), Giant shall pay to Holly its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. In the event of a termination by Holly pursuant to Section 7.01(h), Giant shall promptly pay upon Holly's request all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Holly in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 which payments shall be credited against any Termination Fee that may subsequently become payable. 5.10. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Giant and Holly will consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form previously agreed to by the parties. 5.11. NYSE LISTING. Giant shall use best efforts to cause the shares of Giant Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and under the Holly Stock Plan (or Giant Stock Plan, if Giant elects to issue substitute options to the holders of Holly Employee Stock Options) to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date. 5.12. TRANSFER TAXES, ETC. The Surviving Corporation shall pay the Merger Consideration to the holders of Holly Common Stock without deduction or withholding therefrom for transfer taxes, transfer fees, stamp fees, recording fees, or other similar taxes or fees that may become payable in connection with the Merger, all of which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation. 5.13. TAX TREATMENT. Each of Giant and Holly shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code and to obtain the opinions of counsel referred to in Sections 6.02 and 6.03. 5.14. INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS. Giant and Holly agree that as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will enter into indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation providing for indemnification on the terms set forth in the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, as amended pursuant to Section 1.05, and as otherwise provided for under this Agreement. 5.15. CERTAIN TAX MATTERS.

Holly shall, no later than two (2) days prior to the Closing, cause to be delivered to Giant a list, reviewed by its counsel and reasonably satisfactory to Giant, identifying all persons who are, in its opinion, at the time of the meeting of the Holly's stockholders to be held to approve the Merger, "affiliates" of Holly for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Holly shall furnish such information and documents as Giant may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing such list. Holly shall use its reasonable efforts to cause each person who is identified as an "affiliate" in the list furnished pursuant to this Section 5.16 to execute a written agreement on or prior to the Closing, in a form satisfactory to Giant (an "Affiliate Agreement"), that such person shall not offer or sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Giant Common Stock issued to such person pursuant to the Merger in violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Holly Stockholder Approval or the Giant Stockholder Approval: (a) by mutual written consent of Giant and Holly; (b) by either Giant or Holly: (i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 1998; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the cause or resulted in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such date; (ii) if the Holly Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at a Holly Stockholders Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; (iii) if the Giant Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at a Giant Stockholders Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or (iv) if any Governmental Entity shall have issued a Restraint or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Restraint or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; (c) by Giant, if Holly shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.02(a) or (b), and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Holly of such breach (a "Holly Material Breach") (provided that Giant is not then in Giant Material Breach (as defined in Section 7.01(f)) of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement); (d) by Giant in accordance with Section 4.03(b), provided that it has complied with all provisions thereof, including the notice provisions thereof, and that it complies with applicable requirements of Section 5.09; (e) by Giant if (i) the Board of Directors of Holly or any committee thereof shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Giant its approval or recommendation of the Merger or this Agreement or failed to reconfirm its recommendation within 15 business days after a written request to do so, or approved or recommended any Holly Takeover Proposal or (ii) the Board of Directors of Holly or any committee thereof shall have resolved to take any of the foregoing actions; (f) by Holly, if Giant shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.03(a) or (b), and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Giant of such breach (a "Giant Material Breach") (provided that Holly is not then in Holly Material Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement); (g) by Holly in accordance with Section 4.02(b), provided that it has complied with all provisions thereof, including the notice provisions therein, and that it complies with applicable requirements of Section 5.09; or (h) by Holly if (i) the Board of Directors of Giant or any committee thereof shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Holly its approval or recommendation of the Merger or this Agreement or failed to reconfirm its recommendation within 15 business days after a written request to do so, or approved or recommended any Giant Takeover Proposal or (ii) the Board of Directors of Giant or any committee thereof shall have resolved to take any of the foregoing actions. 7.02.

(b) The directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. (c) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than six nor more than twelve directors. The exact number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. The Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1999, Class II directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2000, and Class III directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2001. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders beginning in 1999, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be elected by the holders of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote thereat for a three-year term. A director shall hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, if any, shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article FIFTH unless expressly provided by such terms.

(e) No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that elimination or limitation of liability is prohibited under the DGCL as in effect when such liability is determined. Any repeal or modification of this Article FIFTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not deprive a director of the benefits hereof with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification. (f) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such bylaws had not been adopted. SIXTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of the DGCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of the DGCL, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation. SEVENTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware GCL, as amended from time to time, or any successor section, indemnify each 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, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer 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 and any appeal therefrom. Indemnification may include payment by the Corporation of expenses in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article, which undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such repayments. The Corporation shall not indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The indemnification rights provided in this Article SEVENTH (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any law, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such persons. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article SEVENTH. EIGHTH: Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Unless otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Co- Chairmen of the Board acting together, or the Chairman of the Board if only one is so appointed, or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or in the bylaws of the Corporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that subject to the powers and rights provided for herein with respect to Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, if any, but notwithstanding anything else contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of each outstanding class of capital stock shall be required to alter, amend, rescind or repeal (i) Article FOURTH, Article FIFTH, Article SIXTH, Article SEVENTH, Article EIGHTH, or this Article NINTH or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith and (ii) Sections 3 and 8 of Article II, Sections 1, 2 and 6 of Article III and Article VIII of the Bylaws of the Corporation or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith. The foregoing provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation were duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the DGCL.

Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8 of this Article II. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8 of this Article II, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 8 of this Article II. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS SECTION 1. NUMBER AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of an even number of directors totaling not less than six nor more than twelve. The exact number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. One half of the directors shall be designated "G Directors" and one half shall be designated "H Directors." The G Directors and H Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1999, Class II directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2000, and Class III directors shall have a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2001. Each class shall consist of an even number of directors composed equally of G Directors and H Directors. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders beginning in 1999, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned so that there will be equal numbers of G Directors and H Directors and so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Directors of the Corporation may be removed by stockholders of the Corporation only for cause. SECTION 2. VACANCIES. It is intended that there shall be an equal number of G Directors and H Directors and that any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled so as to restore and maintain the equality in number of G Directors and H Directors. In the event of a vacancy on the Board of Directors such that there is less than the required number of G Directors, the remaining G Directors shall elect an additional director who shall fill the vacancy as a G Director; in the event that a vacancy on the Board of Directors results in there being less than the required number of H Directors, the remaining H Directors shall elect an additional director who shall fill the vacancy as an H Director. Vacancies on the Board of Directors that result from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled one-half by a person or persons elected by the G Directors and one-half by a person or persons elected by the H Directors. Any director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor. SECTION 3. DUTIES AND POWERS. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders. SECTION 4. MEETINGS. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by a Co-Chief Executive Officer or by any two directors. Notice thereof stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting shall be given to each director either by mail not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting or by telephone, electronic facsimile or telegram on twenty-four (24) hours' notice. All notices of meetings shall be given to the extent reasonably possible so that all directors shall have the opportunity to attend either in person or by means of conference telephone. Any director who does not attend a special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be promptly informed of all action taken by the Board of Directors at the special meeting. SECTION 5. QUORUM. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. SECTION 6. VOTING. On all matters with respect to which the Board of Directors shall vote, except as may be otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the number of affirmative votes required for any proposed action of the Board of Directors shall be equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the number of G Directors or the number of H Directors voting on the matter plus (ii) one. Except as otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, the requirements of this Section 6 shall also apply to all voting by committees of the Board of Directors. At all times until the occurrence of the Termination Date as defined in Section 13 of this Article III, the unanimous vote of the entire Board of Directors shall be required for the authorization of the issuance of Preferred Stock having voting rights with respect to the election of directors of the Corporation. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, after the occurrence of the Termination Date as defined in Section 13 of this Article III, the act of a majority of the directors present and eligible to vote on a matter shall be the act of the Board of Directors on that matter. SECTION 7. ACTIONS OF THE BOARD. Unless otherwise provided by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. SECTION 8. MEETINGS BY MEANS OF CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Unless otherwise provided by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 8 of this Article III shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. SECTION 9. COMMITTEES. There shall be three standing committees of the Board of Directors: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee shall each be composed of two G Directors and two H Directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation. The chairman of the Audit Committee and the chairman of the Compensation Committee shall be selected by the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee shall be composed of the two Co-Chief Executive Officers (who shall act as co-chairmen of the committee) and two other directors, one a G Director and the other an H Director. The requirements of Section 6 of this Article III shall apply to all votes of the standing committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, designate one or more additional committees, each such additional committee to be composed of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Board of Directors, each additional committee of the Board of Directors shall be composed of an equal number of G Directors and H Directors and the requirements of Section 6 hereof shall apply to all votes of each such committee. The chairmen of each standing committee and of any additional committees shall have the right to vote on their respective committees. Subject to the other requirements of these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any standing or additional committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of any such committee. Any committee of the Board of Directors, to the extent allowed by law and provided in the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. Each committee shall keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when requested. SECTION 10. COMPENSATION. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. SECTION 11. INTERESTED DIRECTORS. 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 its 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 committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if (i) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors (subject to the requirements of Section 6 of this Article III), even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) 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 stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. SECTION 12. NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTIONS OF DIRECTORS. For each meeting of the stockholders at which directors of the Corporation are to be elected, the Corporation shall propose to the stockholders a slate of nominees specifying one nominee for each director to be elected by the stockholders at such meeting. The Corporation's slate of nominees for director shall include the number of nominees for G Director and for H Director such that the election of all proposed nominees would result in an equal number of G Directors and H Directors immediately after the election. The Corporation's nominee or nominees for G Director shall be selected by the persons then serving as G Directors and the Corporation's nominee or nominees for H Director shall be selected by the persons then serving as H Directors. SECTION 13. TERMINATION OF DESIGNATIONS OF G DIRECTORS AND H DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, the designation of directors of the Corporation as G Directors and H Directors and the requirement that the Board of Directors be composed of an even number of directors shall cease to apply upon the Termination Date, which shall be the earlier of (i) an amendment to Article III, to Section 2 or Section 5 of Article IV, or to Article IX of these Bylaws; (ii) either James E. Acridge ("Acridge") or the Norsworthy Group (which Norsworthy Group consists of Lamar Norsworthy ("Norsworthy"), Nona Barrett, NBN Capital Limited Partnership, a Texas limited partnership, Betty Simmons East Texas Trust, Margaret Simmons East Texas Trust, Suzanne Simmons East Texas Trust, Betty Simmons Nueces County Trust, Margaret Simmons Nueces County Trust and Suzanne Simmons Neuces County Trust) ceases to hold at least a 3% Stock Interest (as defined below); (iii) either Acridge or the Norsworthy Group purchases from the other the Subject Stock Interest (as defined below); (iv) the death of Acridge or Norsworthy; (v) December 31, 2003; or (vi) either Acridge or Norsworthy resigns as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board and becomes bound by the provisions of a standstill agreement; provided, however, that, if the Termination Date arises because of the death of Acridge or Norsworthy, the remaining G Directors (in the case of Acridge's death) and the remaining H Directors (in the case of Norsworthy's death) shall have the power to select a director to fill the vacancy left by Acridge or Norsworthy, as the case may be, at the next meeting of the Board of Directors after the death.

SECTION 2. SIGNATURES. Where a certificate is countersigned by (i) a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or (ii) a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such Officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such Officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or 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 stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 6. BENEFICIAL OWNERS. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or 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.

POWER TO INDEMNIFY IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN THOSE BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, 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 he is or was a director or officer 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, employee benefit plan 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 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 2. POWER TO INDEMNIFY IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, 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 he is or was a director or officer, 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, employee benefit plan 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; 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 of Chancery or 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 of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. SECTION 3. AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (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 or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Subject to Section 6 of Article III, such determination shall be made (i) 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 (ii) 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 (iii) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director or officer 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, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case. SECTION 4. GOOD FAITH DEFINED. For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him 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 4 of this Article VIII 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 4 of this Article VIII 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 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. SECTION 5. INDEMNIFICATION BY A COURT. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 of this Article VIII shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application. SECTION 6. EXPENSES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending 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 or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII. SECTION 7. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his 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 1 and 2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

SECTION 9. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article VIII, 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 and officers, 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 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 VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such indemnification relates to his acts while serving in any of the foregoing capacities, of such constituent corporation, as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, 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 or officer 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 he 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 VIII. SECTION 10. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. SECTION 11. LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 of this Article VIII), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer 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 of the Corporation. SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND 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 employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VIII to directors and officers of the Corporation.

SECTION 3 DEADLOCK RESOLUTION AGREEMENTS 3.01 ADVICE OF THE BOARD. If, at any time after the 15th month following the Effective Time, either Acridge or Norsworthy believes that the Control Arrangements are not meeting their objectives to enhance the overall competitive and strategic position of the Surviving Corporation and to otherwise serve the best interests of the Surviving Corporation and its stockholders, and they are unable to resolve their differences through private discussion, either may call a special meeting of the Board of Directors (the "Special Meeting") for the sole purpose of considering the Disputed Matters. (a) PROCEDURES. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Surviving Corporation's Bylaws: (i) the notice for the Special Meeting shall be given at least 10 days prior to the meeting, (ii) the notice shall specifically state that the meeting is being called to discuss one or more Disputed Matters, (iii) a quorum for the meeting shall be at least three of the H Directors and three of the G Directors, and (iv) the meeting shall be chaired jointly by a representative of each such category of directors. Acridge and Norsworthy may, but are not obligated to, reduce the nature of any Disputed Matter to writing and provide the same to the Board of Directors in advance of the Special Meeting; provided that if either elects to do so, he shall provide a copy of such writing in advance to the other at least two days before sending the same to the other members of the Board. (b) PRESENTATIONS BY ACRIDGE AND NORSWORTHY. At the Special Meeting, both Acridge and Norsworthy shall have the opportunity to present fully and fairly the Disputed Matters for consideration by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall discuss the Disputed Matters in good faith and consistent with its fiduciary obligations, and may meet to do so privately, without Acridge and Norsworthy or without either of them. The Board of Directors may continue the Special Meeting one or more times if necessary for adequate deliberation of any Disputed Matter for any reasonable period of time. (c) BOARD ACTION. At the Special Meeting or any continuation thereof permitted by Section 3.01(b), the Board shall provide to Acridge and Norsworthy its advice and recommendations or decisions, and, if the Board is unable to agree on a recommended course of action, it shall so state and the individual members of the Board shall each inform Acridge and Norsworthy of their opinion on the Disputed Matters. (d) INTENT. It is the intent of Acridge and Norsworthy that the process described in this Section 3.01 be conducted in a fair and impartial manner with the best interests of the Surviving Corporation and its stockholders as the guiding factor. To that end, if a Disputed Matter is submitted to the Board, Acridge and Norsworthy agree that they will not contact or communicate with the other Board members ex parte or outside of the contacts and communications contemplated by this Section 3.01 unless either believes in his good faith judgment that such contacts or other communications are required in the exercise of his fiduciary duties. Further, to ensure the maximum effectiveness of this process, the Board may adopt whatever procedures and may consult with whatever professionals and advisers it deems necessary or appropriate to provide informed advice and decisions and to make informed recommendations to Acridge and Norsworthy. (e) CONSIDERATION OF BOARD ACTION. Acridge and Norsworthy each agree to consider the advice, recommendations or decisions of the Board in good faith and without any pre- conceived determinations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after five days following the communications described in Section 3.01(c), or (ii) if no Special Meeting is in fact held as provided in Section 3.01(a) or within five days following the Special Meeting no communications under Section 3.01(c) are made by the Board to Acridge and Norsworthy, and either of them in his sole discretion remains dissatisfied with the Disputed Matter, he shall have the right to implement the Deadlock Resolution Proceedings described in Section 3.02. (f) SUCCESSIVE APPLICATION. Unless the Deadlock Resolution Proceedings are invoked with respect to any Disputed Matter, the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall apply successively to all Disputed Matters whenever arising. 3.02 DEADLOCK RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS. (a) PURPOSE. This Section 3.02 sets forth a procedure pursuant to which either Acridge or Norsworthy can, if either determines that there are Disputed Matters that cannot be otherwise resolved, obtain an efficient and businesslike termination of the Control Arrangements through making an offer to the other that results in a choice for such other as to the means whereby the Control Arrangements are terminated. For purposes of this Section 3.02, the term "Offeror Group" shall, if the Offeror (as defined in Section 3.02(b)) is Norsworthy, refer to each member of the Norsworthy Group and any Affiliate Transferees having a relationship to one or more members of the Norsworthy Group and, if the Offeror is Acridge, such term shall refer to Acridge and any Affiliate Transferee having a relationship to Acridge. The term "Offeree Group" shall, if the Offeree (as defined in Section 3.02(b)) is Norsworthy, refer to each member of the Norsworthy Group and any Affiliate Transferees having a relationship to one or more members of the Norsworthy Group and, if the Offeree is Acridge, such term shall refer to Acridge and any Affiliate Transferee having a relationship with Acridge. If there is an election under clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 3.02(d) below, the one of the Offeror Group or the Offeree Group that becomes the purchaser as a result of such election is referred to as the "Purchasing Group," and the one of the Offeror Group or the Offeree Group that becomes the seller as a result of such election is referred to as the "Selling Group." (b) OFFER TO SELL OR PURCHASE. At any time after the time period set forth in Section 3.01(e), either Acridge or Norsworthy (the "Offeror") may make to the other (the "Offeree") an offer to sell or to purchase a Stock Interest as set forth in this Section 3.02. The offer described in this Section 3.02(b) is referred to hereinafter as an "Offer to Sell or Purchase." If the Offer to Sell or Purchase is delivered by Acridge, the Stock Interest he must propose to sell is the Acridge Stock Interest, and the Stock Interest he must propose to purchase is the amount equal to the lesser in number of the Acridge Stock Interest or the Norsworthy Group Stock Interest. If the Offer to Sell or Purchase is delivered by the Norsworthy Group, the Stock Interest the Norsworthy Group must propose to sell is the amount equal to the lesser in number of the Norsworthy Group Stock Interest or the Acridge Stock Interest, and the Stock Interest the Norsworthy Group must propose to purchase is the Acridge Stock Interest. The Offer to Sell or Purchase shall simultaneously be delivered by the Offeror to the Offeree, the Surviving Corporation by delivery of the same to the corporate secretary and to each member of the Board of Directors at his or her last known address in the records of the Surviving Corporation. Once given, the Offer to Sell or Purchase may not be revoked or altered by the Offeror. (c) CONTENTS OF OFFER TO SELL OR PURCHASE. The Offer to Sell or Purchase shall include the following: (i) The per share price (which must be paid in full in cash at the closing) at which the Offeror offers to sell or purchase the Subject Stock Interest (which must be the same price); (ii) Evidence of the Offeror Group's ability to fund the Purchase Price, assuming that as a result of the Offer to Sell or Purchase the Offeror Group was required to purchase the Subject Stock Interest from the Offeree Group, including specifically a financing commitment if the Offeror Group would borrow the necessary funds together with documentation evidencing the escrow of funds (or equivalent security in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or other comparable instrument) in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the "Earnest Money Deposit") as earnest money to secure the Offeror Group's obligation to pay the Purchase Price in the event that the Offeree Group elects to sell the Subject Stock Interest to the Offeror Group pursuant to the Offer to Sell or Purchase; (iii) A form of a complete and mutual release to be delivered by the Offeror, the Offeree and the Surviving Corporation at closing of a purchase transaction; and (iv) Such other material terms for the purchase and sale of the Subject Stock Interest deemed relevant by the Offeror and not inconsistent with this Agreement. Each of the instruments and documents referred to above shall be in commercially reasonable form and shall be prepared in good faith by the Offeror. The Offer to Sell or Purchase may not require performance by any person other than Acridge and the Norsworthy Group, any Affiliate Transferees, and any party required to act under the Earnest Money Deposit arrangement. The Selling Group shall be obligated to convey the Subject Stock Interest to the Purchasing Group free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances and the Offer to Sell or Purchase shall so provide. (d) RESPONSE. The Offeree shall elect in writing, as soon as reasonably possible but not more than 60 days after his receipt of the Offer to Sell or Purchase, either: (i) To resign all positions then held with the Surviving Corporation, including as a director, effective as of the closing and to cause the sale of the Subject Stock Interest to the Offeror Group in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Sell or Purchase; or (ii) To cause the purchase from the Offeror Group of the Subject Stock Interest in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Sell or Purchase; or (iii) To resign all positions then held with the Surviving Corporation, including as a director, and be subject to a Standstill Agreement (as defined below) with the Surviving Corporation. The Offeree's election pursuant to this Section 3.02(d) is referred to hereinafter as the "Response." If issued pursuant to Section 3.02(d)(ii), the Response shall include evidence of the Offeree's ability to fund the Purchase Price, including specifically a financing commitment if the Offeree Group would borrow the necessary funds together with documentation evidencing the escrow of funds (or equivalent security in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or other comparable instrument) in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price as the Earnest Money Deposit to secure the Offeree Group's obligation to pay the Purchase Price to the Offeror Group pursuant to the Response. The Response shall be delivered simultaneously to the Offeror and to the Surviving Corporation by copy to the corporate secretary and to each member of the Board of Directors. If the Offeree fails to deliver the Response within the required 60-day period, the Offeree shall be deemed to have given the Response on the last day of such period, electing under clause (iii) above to resign his positions, including as a director, and be subject to the Standstill Agreement with the Surviving Corporation as provided in Sections 3.02(e) and (f). (e) ELECTION OR DEEMED ELECTION UNDER SECTION 3.02(d)(iii).

(f) STANDSTILL AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE. The parties hereby agree that, if the election under Section 3.02(d)(iii) is made or is deemed to have been made if no Response is made by the Offeree within the 60-day period as provided in Section 3.02(d), each member of the Offeree Group shall be subject to the following obligations (the "Standstill Agreement"): each such member shall not, and he, she or it shall cause each of his, her or its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (a) acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire any equity securities of the Surviving Corporation, except by way of stock dividends or other distributions or offerings made available to all stockholders of the Surviving Corporation or pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights; (b) make or otherwise participate in any solicitation of proxies or consents, or seek to advise, encourage or influence any person with respect to voting any of the Surviving Corporation's equity securities; (c) initiate or propose any shareholder proposals, or induce any other person to initiate a shareholder proposal; (d) form or cause the formation of any "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); (e) otherwise act to control or seek to control the Surviving Corporation; (f) seek the removal of any member of the Board; (g) initiate or propose any tender or exchange offers; or (h) serve as a member of the Board; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the members of the Offeree Group from effecting routine sales of Surviving Corporation equity securities in transactions for purposes other than those prescribed above. The applicable obligations of the members of the Offeree Group under the Standstill Agreement as provided by this Section 3.02(f) shall cease to apply on the fifth anniversary of the Standstill Agreement or at such earlier time that the Offeree Group holds less than 3% of the Surviving Corporation's issued and outstanding common stock.

The parties acknowledge that the subject matter of this Section 3 is complicated, and agree that it is not possible to foresee or prudent to predict all of the possible Disputed Matters or other factors or circumstances that might arise in the future and affect the provisions of this Section 3 and the procedures established herein. The parties further acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 3 is to provide a mechanism to deal with Disputed Matters in an efficient and businesslike manner so as not to unduly disrupt or damage the Surviving Corporation or the interests of its stockholders. Accordingly, it is the express intent of the parties that the provisions hereof and the procedures established herein be interpreted and conducted with the overriding interests of the Surviving Corporation and its stockholders in mind at all times; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the implementation of the Deadlock Resolution Proceedings set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.
