AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
OF
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP.
ARTICLE I
CORPORATE OFFICES
1.1    Registered Office.
The registered office of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the “corporation”) shall be fixed in the corporation’s certificate of formation. References in these bylaws to the “certificate of formation” shall mean the certificate of formation of the corporation, as amended and/or restated from time to time, including the terms of any statement of designations of any series of Preferred Stock, as filed with the Texas Secretary of State.
1.2    Other Offices.
The corporation’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
2.1    Place Of Meetings.
Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Texas, designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of shareholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 6.002(a) of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”). In the absence of any such designation, shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation’s principal executive office. To the extent permitted by the TBOC, the Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled meeting of shareholders at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been given to the shareholders.
2.2    Annual Meeting.
Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, an annual meeting of shareholders shall be held for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, at such date and time as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time.
1


2.3    Special Meeting.
(a)    Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the terms of the certificate of formation and these bylaws (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “bylaws”), a special meeting of the shareholders may only be called in the manner provided in the certificate of formation. The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as has been brought before the special meeting pursuant to the notice of such meeting.
(b)    Any shareholder or shareholders seeking to request a special meeting shall first request that the Board of Directors fix a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “ownership record date”) by delivering notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation (the “Secretary”) at the principal executive office of the corporation (the “record date request notice”). The record date request notice shall contain information about the class or series and number of shares of stock of the corporation that are owned of record and beneficially by the requesting shareholders and state the business proposed to be acted upon at the meeting. Upon receiving a record date request notice, the Board of Directors may set an ownership record date. Notwithstanding any other provision of these bylaws, the ownership record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the ownership record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after the close of business (as defined in Section 2.5(c)(iii) below) on the date upon which the resolution fixing the ownership record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within ten (10) days after the date upon which a valid record date request notice is received by the Secretary, does not adopt a resolution fixing the ownership record date, the ownership record date shall be the close of business on the tenth (10th) day after the date upon which a valid record date request notice is received by the Secretary (or, if such tenth (10th) day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter). The Board of Directors shall have the power to declare that a record date request was not provided in accordance with this Section 2.3(b).
(c)    In order for a shareholder-requested special meeting to be called by the Secretary, one or more written requests for a special meeting (each a “special meeting request”) signed by one or more shareholders (or their duly authorized agents) who own, as of the ownership record date, at least the Requisite Percent (as defined below), shall be delivered to the Secretary. To satisfy the Requisite Percent, each shareholder must beneficially own (as defined in Section 2.5(c)(iii) below) such shares. A special meeting request shall: (i) state the business (including the identity of nominees for election as a director, if any) proposed to be acted upon at the meeting, which shall be limited to the business set forth in the applicable record date request notice received by the Secretary; (ii) bear the date of signature of each such shareholder (or duly authorized agent) submitting the special meeting request; (iii) set forth the name and address of each shareholder submitting the special meeting request; (iv) contain the information required by Section 2.4, if applicable, and Section 2.5 below with respect to any director nominations or other business proposed to be presented at the special meeting, and as to each shareholder requesting the special meeting and each other person (including any beneficial owner of shares)
2


on whose behalf the shareholder is acting, other than shareholders or other persons who have provided such request solely in response to any form of public solicitation for such requests, and any additional information as may be required by Section 2.4 below; (v) include documentary evidence that the requesting shareholders own the Requisite Percent as of the ownership record date; provided, however, that if the requesting shareholders are not the beneficial owners of the shares representing the Requisite Percent, then to be valid, the special meeting request must also include documentary evidence of the number of shares beneficially owned by the beneficial owners on whose behalf the special meeting request is made as of the ownership record date; and (vi) be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation, by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, within sixty (60) days after the ownership record date. The requesting shareholders shall update and supplement the special meeting request with information that is current as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and shall notify the Secretary of any such updated and supplemented special meeting request within five (5) business days after such record date. In addition, the requesting shareholders and each other person (including any beneficial owner) on whose behalf the requesting shareholders are acting, shall provide such other information as the corporation may reasonably request within ten (10) business days of such a request. “Requisite Percent” means the minimum percentage of the corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting as specified in the certificate of formation or, in the absence of such specification in the certificate of formation, as provided in the TBOC.
(d)    After receiving a special meeting request, the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith whether the shareholders requesting the special meeting have satisfied the requirements set forth in these bylaws for calling a special meeting of shareholders, and the corporation shall notify the requesting shareholders of the Board’s determination about whether the special meeting request is valid. If the Board of Directors determines that the special meeting request is valid, the Board of Directors shall fix the date, time and place, if any, of the special meeting, which date shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Board of Directors fixes the date of the special meeting. The record date for the special meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors as set forth in Section 2.11 below.
(e)    A special meeting request shall not be valid, and the corporation shall not call a special meeting, if: (i) the special meeting request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under, or that involves a violation of, applicable law; (ii) an item of business that is the same as, or substantially similar to (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), the proposed business described in the special meeting request that was presented at a meeting of shareholders occurring within ninety (90) days preceding the earliest date of signature on the special meeting request; (iii) the special meeting request is delivered during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders; (iv) the Board of Directors has called or calls for an annual meeting of shareholders to be held within ninety (90) days after the Secretary receives the request for the special meeting and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the business of such annual meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the annual meeting) the business
3


specified in the request; or (v) the special meeting request does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.3. For purposes of this Section 2.3(e), the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to have been held on June 19, 2026.
(f)    Any shareholders who submitted a special meeting request may revoke their written request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation at any time prior to the shareholder-requested special meeting. A special meeting request shall be deemed revoked (and any meeting scheduled in response may be cancelled) if the shareholders submitting the special meeting request, and any beneficial owners on whose behalf they are acting (as applicable), do not continue to beneficially own shares of the corporation representing at least the Requisite Percent at all times between the date the record date request notice is received by the corporation and the date of the applicable shareholder-requested special meeting, and the requesting shareholders shall promptly notify the Secretary of any decrease in ownership of shares of stock of the corporation that results in such a revocation. If, as a result of any revocations, there are no longer valid unrevoked written requests from shareholders who beneficially own shares of the corporation representing at least the Requisite Percent, the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.
(g)    Business transacted at a shareholder-requested special meeting shall be limited to: (i) the business stated in the valid special meeting request received from shareholders who beneficially own shares of the corporation representing at least the Requisite Percent; and (ii) any additional business that the Board of Directors determines to include in the corporation’s notice of meeting. If none of the shareholders who submitted the special meeting request (or their qualified representatives, as defined in Section 2.5(c)) appears at the special meeting to present the matter or matters to be brought before the special meeting that were specified in the special meeting request, the corporation need not present the matter or matters for a vote at the meeting, notwithstanding that proxies and votes in respect of such matter may have been received by the corporation.
2.4    Submission Of Information Regarding Director Nominees.
(a)    As to each person whom a shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director of the corporation pursuant to Section 2.5, such shareholder must deliver to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation the following information:
(i)    a written representation and agreement (in the form to be provided by the Secretary (or his or her designee) upon written request of any shareholder of record within five (5) business days following a request therefor), which shall be signed by the person proposed to be nominated and pursuant to which such person shall represent and agree that such person: (A) consents to being named as a nominee in a proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the meeting at which directors are to be elected and to serving as a director if elected, and currently intends to serve as a director for the full term for which such person is standing for election; (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity: (1) as to how the
4


person, if elected as a director, will act or vote on any issue or question, except as disclosed in such representation and agreement; or (2) that could limit or interfere with the person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director, with such person’s duties to the corporation under applicable law; (C) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director or nominee, except as disclosed in such representation and agreement; and (D) if elected as a director, will comply with all of the corporation’s corporate governance policies and guidelines related to conflicts of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other policies and guidelines applicable to directors (which will be provided by the Secretary (or his or her designee) to such person within five (5) business days following a request therefor); and
(ii)    fully completed and signed questionnaire(s) prepared by the corporation, with respect to such proposed nominee(s), including any questionnaires and/or representations required by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, in the form to be provided by the Secretary (or his or her designee) to such director nominee within five (5) business days following a request therefor (the “Questionnaire(s)”).
(b)    A proposed nominee for election or reelection as a director of the corporation pursuant to Section 2.5 will provide to the corporation such other information as the corporation may reasonably request, including such information reasonably necessary for the corporation to determine whether such proposed nominee will satisfy any qualifications, requirements or standards imposed by the certificate of formation or these bylaws, any law, rule, regulation or listing standard that may be applicable to the corporation, or relevant to a determination whether such person can be considered to be an independent director of the corporation under the applicable stock exchange listing rules.
(c)    If a shareholder has submitted notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election or reelection as a director pursuant to Section 2.5, all written and signed representations and agreements and all fully completed and signed Questionnaires described in Section 2.4(a) above shall be provided to the corporation at the same time as such notice, and the additional information described in Section 2.4(b) above shall be provided to the corporation promptly upon request by the corporation, but in any event within five (5) business days after such request (or by the day prior to the day of the annual meeting, if earlier). All information provided pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be deemed part of the shareholder’s notice submitted pursuant to Section 2.5.
2.5    Notice Of Shareholder Business And Nominations.
(a)    Annual Meeting.
(i)    Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and any proposal of other business to be considered by the shareholders at an annual meeting of shareholders may be made only: (A) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any authorized
5


committee thereof); (C) by or at the direction of the Founder and his Permitted Transferees (in each case, as such terms are defined in the certificate of formation); or (D) by any shareholder or group of shareholders of the corporation who are shareholders of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 is delivered to the Secretary and through the meeting date, who (1) are entitled to vote on such nomination or the proposal of business, as applicable, at the meeting, (2) comply with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(a) and (3) as applicable, are eligible to submit a proposal (as determined pursuant to Section 9.5 of Article IX of these bylaws). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder or group of shareholders to make director nominations or propose other business at an annual meeting of shareholders. All references to “shareholder” in the following provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be construed to include also any group of shareholders, as applicable.
(ii)    For director nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (D) of the foregoing paragraph, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and, in the case of business other than director nominations, such business must be a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation not earlier than the close of business (as defined in Section 2.5(c)(iii) below) on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day nor later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held (or deemed to have been held) in the preceding year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement (as defined in Section 2.5(c)(iii) below) of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall an adjournment or recess of an annual meeting, or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice of the meeting has already been given to shareholders or a public announcement of the meeting date has already been made, or a public announcement of the foregoing, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. A shareholder’s notice given in accordance with this Section 2.5 must contain the names of only the nominees for whom such shareholder (or beneficial owner, if any) intends to solicit proxies. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of nominees that a shareholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting (or in the case of a shareholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees that a shareholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of the beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to have been held on June 19, 2026. Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth:

(4)    a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and that the shareholder (or a qualified representative of the shareholder) intends to appear at the meeting to make such nomination or propose such business; and

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.5(a)(ii) above or Section 2.5(b) below to the contrary, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2.5 shall set forth a representation that the shareholder will notify the corporation in writing, within five (5) business days after the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, of updated and supplemented information required under this Section 2.5(a), and such information when provided to the corporation shall be current as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
(v)    This Section 2.5 shall not apply to a proposal proposed to be made by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the corporation of his or her intention to present the proposal at an annual or special meeting only pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time and is in effect, and such proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the corporation to solicit proxies for such meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposal shall remain subject to Section 9.5 of Article IX of these bylaws.
(vi)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5(a) to the contrary, (A) in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the corporation at least ten (10) days prior to the last day a shareholder may deliver a notice in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(ii) above, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2.5(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation; and (B) the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5 or Section 2.4 shall not apply to the Founder or his Permitted Transferees (in each case, as such terms are defined in the certificate of formation).

of Directors has determined that one or more directors are to be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.5(b) is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote on the election of such director(s) at the meeting and who delivers a timely notice thereof in writing setting forth the information required by Section 2.5(a) above and provides the additional information required by Section 2.4 above; or (iv) in the case of a shareholder-requested special meeting, by any shareholder or shareholders of the corporation pursuant to Section 2.3. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any shareholder entitled to vote on such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the notice required by this Section 2.5(b) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting is first made by the corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of nominees a shareholder may nominate for election at the special meeting (or in the case of a shareholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a shareholder may nominate for election at the special meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such special meeting. In no event shall an adjournment or recess of a special meeting, or a postponement of a special meeting for which notice of the meeting has already been given to shareholders or a public announcement of the meeting date has already been made, or a public announcement of the foregoing, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

If any proposed nomination or other business is not in compliance with this Section 2.5 or Section 9.5 of Article IX (with respect to proposals other than nominations), including due to a failure to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, then except as otherwise required by law, the chairman of the meeting shall declare that such director nomination shall be disregarded or such other proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies and votes in respect of any such nomination or other business may have been received by the corporation.

(ii)    To be considered a qualified representative of a shareholder for purposes of these bylaws, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such shareholder or authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the corporation prior to the making of such nomination or proposal at such meeting (and in any event not fewer than five (5) business days before the meeting) stating that such person is authorized to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders.
(iii)    For purposes of this Section 2.5, the “close of business” shall mean 5:00 p.m. local time at the principal executive office of the corporation on any calendar day, whether or not the day is a business day, and a “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 2.5, shares shall be treated as “beneficially owned” by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder or has or shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing): (A) the right to acquire such shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both); (B) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others; and/or (C) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such shares.

Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or each of such classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that separate vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of formation or these bylaws.

The Secretary shall act as Secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting.
(b)    The date and time of opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

Unless and to the extent not otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

15


sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.
If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:
(a)    The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
(b)    Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of formation, in order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken was delivered to the corporation in accordance with these bylaws. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
(c)    Unless otherwise provided in these bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.12    Proxies.
Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed with the Secretary, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Any form of electronic transmission, including telephonic transmission, by the shareholder, or a photographic, photostatic, pdf, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the shareholder, is considered an execution in writing. Any electronic transmission must contain or be accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 21.368 and 21.369 of the TBOC.

In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic data system, the corporation will take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to shareholders of the corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.
2.14    Inspectors Of Election.
Before any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed and designated shall (a) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each share, (b) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares of each series and class of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots.
In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of shareholders of the corporation, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority of the inspectors is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, or in these bylaws, 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, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following matters: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the shareholders, any action or matter expressly required by the TBOC to be submitted to shareholders for approval, (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the corporation, or (iii) any other action or matter specified in Section 21.416(c) of the TBOC. Any designation of such committee and the delegation to such committee of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed by law. The number of members on each committee may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolutions of the Board of Directors. Any member of any committee may be removed from such committee at any time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any vacancy occurring on a committee will be filled by the Board of Directors.

confined to specific instances.

ARTICLE VI
STOCK
6.1    Stock Certificates; No Partly Paid Shares.
The shares of the corporation shall be uncertificated, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be represented by certificates. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by any two officers of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures 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 has 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 such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form. The corporation may not issue the whole or any part of its shares for which only partial payment of the consideration required for the issuance of such shares has been received by the corporation.
6.2    Special Designation On Certificates.
If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then, with respect to any shares of the corporation that are represented by certificates, the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock;
26


provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 21.213 of the TBOC, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each shareholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates issued pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise required by law. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares shall be identical to those of the holders of certificates representing shares of the same class and series.
6.3    Lost, Stolen Or Destroyed Certificates.
The holder of any certificate representing any shares of the corporation must immediately notify the corporation of any loss, theft or destruction of such certificate. Except as provided in this Section 6.3, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate for shares, or uncertificated shares in the place thereof, represented by a certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe, including the presentations of an affidavit of lost stock certificate and of satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
6.4    Dividends.
The Board of Directors, subject to any restrictions contained in (a) the TBOC or (b) the certificate of formation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock.
The Board of Directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation and meeting contingencies.
6.5    Registration Of Transfers.
The Board of Directors may appoint and engage one (1) or more transfer agents to maintain the share transfer records of the corporation. No transfer of shares will be valid as against the corporation, its shareholders and creditors for any purpose, until it is entered in the share transfer records of the corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. So long as the transfer of shares is not prohibited by the certificate of formation, these bylaws,
27


applicable law or contract, upon delivery to the corporation or a transfer agent of the corporation of proper evidence of succession or assignment and authority to transfer and, if the shares are represented by a certificate, accompanied by such certificate duly endorsed for transfer, the corporation or its transfer agent will record the transaction upon the share transfer records of the corporation and, if the shares are certificated, issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto and cancel the old certificate.
6.6    Stock Transfer Agreements.
The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of shareholders of any one (1) or more classes or series of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one (1) or more classes or series owned by such shareholders in any manner not prohibited by the TBOC.
6.7    Registered Shareholders.
The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its share transfer records as the owner of shares and as the holder in fact of those shares for all purposes, including voting those shares, receiving dividends or distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof, transferring those shares, exercising rights of dissent with respect to those shares, entering into agreements with respect to those shares in accordance with Texas law or giving proxies with respect to those shares. Neither the corporation nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for regarding the holder of record as the owner of those shares at that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a certificate for those shares. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Texas.
ARTICLE VII
MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
7.1    General.
Notices to shareholders, directors and committee members (other than notices to directors of a special meeting of the Board of Directors or committees) must be in writing and may be delivered personally or mailed by U.S. mail, postage prepaid, to the shareholders, directors or committee members, respectively, at their addresses appearing on the books and share transfer records of the corporation. Notice will be deemed to be given at the time when the same are so delivered or mailed. Notice to directors and committee members may also be given by nationally recognized overnight delivery or courier service and will be deemed given when such notice is received by the proper recipient or, if earlier, in the case of an overnight delivery or courier service, one (1) day after such notice is sent by such overnight delivery or courier service. With the consent of a shareholder, director or committee member, notice from the corporation may be given to the shareholder, director or committee member by electronic transmission. The shareholder, director or committee member may specify the form of electronic transmission to be used to communicate notice. The shareholder, director or committee member
28


may revoke this consent by written notice to the corporation. The consent is deemed to be revoked if the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices, and the person responsible for delivering notice on behalf of the corporation knows that delivery of these two (2) electronic transmissions was unsuccessful. The inadvertent failure to treat the unsuccessful transmissions as a revocation of consent does not invalidate a meeting or other action. Notice by electronic transmission is deemed given when the notice is (i) transmitted to a facsimile number provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of receiving notice; (ii) transmitted to an electronic mail address provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of receiving notice; (iii) posted on an electronic network and a message is sent to the shareholder, director or committee member at the address provided by the shareholder, director or committee member for the purpose of alerting the shareholder, director or committee member of a posting; or (iv) communicated to the shareholder, director or committee member by any other form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder, director or committee member. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.1 does not apply to notices of special meetings of the Board or committees, in which case Section 3.7 applies, and does not apply to regular meetings of the Board or committees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the corporation is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules set forth in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, notice to shareholders shall be given in the manner required by such rules.
7.2    Waiver Of Notice.
Whenever notice is required to be given to shareholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the TBOC, the certificate of formation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person participates in or attends a meeting solely to object to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of formation, these bylaws or applicable law.
7.3    Omission Of Notice To Shareholders.
Any notice required to be given to any shareholder under any provision of applicable law, the certificate of formation or these bylaws need not be given to the shareholder if (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings and all notices of meetings held during the period between those annual meetings, if any, or (2) all (but in no event less than two (2)) payments (if sent by first class mail) of distributions or interest on securities during a twelve (12)-month period, have been mailed to that person, addressed at his or her address as shown on the share transfer records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable. Any action or meeting taken or held without notice to such a person will have the same force and effect as if the notice had been duly given. If such a person delivers to the corporation a written notice
29


setting forth his or her then current address, the requirement that notice be given to that person will be reinstated.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1    Indemnification Of Directors And Officers.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as now or hereinafter in effect, 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, including an appeal of such action or proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such action or proceeding (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined in accordance with the TBOC that such person (i) acted in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed that such person’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation in the case of conduct in the person’s official capacity and was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation in any other case, and (iii) in the case of a criminal Proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any 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 failed to meet the foregoing standards. If the person is found liable to the corporation or is found liable because the person improperly received a personal benefit, the indemnification of the person under this Section 8.1 is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding and does not include a judgment, a penalty, a fine, or an excise or similar tax, including an excise tax assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan; provided, however, such indemnification for expenses may not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the person has been found liable for: (A) willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the corporation; (B) breach of the person's duty of loyalty owed to the corporation; or (C) an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on application by the person and after notice is provided as required by the court, the court adjudicating such Proceeding may order the corporation to indemnify the person to the extent the court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances; however, such indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses if the person is found liable (i) to the corporation or (ii) because the person improperly received a personal benefit, without regard to whether the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person’s official capacity. For purposes of this Section 8.1, the person is considered to have been found liable in relation to a claim,
30


issue, or matter only if the liability is established by an order, including a judgment or decree of a court, and all appeals of the order are exhausted or foreclosed by law.
8.2    Successful Defense.
To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding in which the person is a respondent because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
8.3    Indemnification Of Others.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, to the extent not prohibited by the TBOC or other applicable law, the corporation shall have the power to indemnify its present or former employees, its present or former agents and those of its present or former officers who are not covered by Section 8.1 by virtue of the definition of “officer” contained in Section 8.11. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether present or former employees, agents or officers not so covered by Section 8.1 shall be indemnified to such person or persons as the Board of Directors determines.
8.4    Advance Payment Of Expenses.
To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a present officer or director of the corporation who was, is or is threatened to be made a respondent in any Proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding without making the determination required under Section 8.1 upon receipt by the corporation of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses), a written affirmation by the person of the person’s good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article VIII and the TBOC and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall be finally determined that the person has not met that standard or is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the TBOC. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems reasonably appropriate and shall be subject to the corporation’s expense guidelines. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any claim for which indemnification by the corporation is precluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 8.5(b) or 8.5(c) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
31


8.5    Limitation On Indemnification.
Subject to the requirements in Section 8.2 and the TBOC, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):
(a)    for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise by any third party or entity other than the corporation, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(b)    for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(c)    for any reimbursement of the corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the corporation, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(d)    initiated by such person against the corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 8.7, or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or
(e)    if prohibited by applicable law, including TBOC Section 8.102(b); provided, however, that if any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
8.6    Claim For Indemnification Or Expense Advancement.
If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after receipt by the corporation of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of
32


his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The corporation shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the corporation under this Article VIII, to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.
8.7    Non-Exclusivity Of Rights.
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 the certificate of formation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the TBOC or other applicable law.
8.8    Insurance.
The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the TBOC.
8.9    Survival.
The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
8.10    Effect Of Repeal Or Modification.
Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
8.11    Certain Definitions.
For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving corporation, any constituent corporation (including any

to be held liable in a capacity other than as a shareholder or managerial official; or (7) any action arising out of the TBOC (each an “Internal Dispute”).
(b)    Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum and venue, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for Internal Disputes under this Section 10.1 shall be the Texas Business Court, Eleventh Division (the “Business Court”). The Business Court shall also be the sole and exclusive forum and venue for any claims or counterclaims over which the Business Court has supplemental jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Texas law.

UNLESS THE CORPORATION CONSENTS IN WRITING TO A JURY TRIAL, THE CORPORATION AND EACH SHAREHOLDER, DIRECTOR, AND OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT THE CORPORATION OR SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY INTERNAL DISPUTE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 10.1, AND EACH SHAREHOLDER AGREES THAT SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S HOLDING OR ACQUISITION OF SHARES OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPTIONS OR RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE SHARES OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF THESE BYLAWS CONSTITUTES SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S INTENTIONAL AND KNOWING WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS.
(d)    Governing Law. The governing law of any Internal Dispute commenced pursuant to this Section 10.1, shall be the law of the State of Texas or the federal law of the United States, as applicable to the issues raised in the Internal Dispute. For avoidance of doubt, the governing law shall include all requirements imposed by applicable law, including, without limitation, pleading and discovery limitations under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
(e)    Collective Proceedings. Internal Disputes subject to resolution under this Section 10.1 must be brought only as an individual action or derivative proceeding, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may not be brought as a class action, mass action, or other form of collective action, and may not be consolidated or joined, in whole or in part, consistent with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure; provided, however, that the Corporation at its sole option may elect to seek consolidation or joinder of matters as consistent with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
10.2    Arbitration.
(a)    Applicability. To the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that an Internal Dispute is not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum or jurisdiction of the Business Court, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, this Section 10.2 shall apply to any such Internal Disputes that are not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum, or jurisdiction, of the Business Court (an “Other Dispute”).
36


(b)    Mandatory Arbitration. Other Disputes shall be exclusively and finally settled by arbitration under the Expedited Procedure Provisions of the Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), pursuant to Article 30 thereof, or as those rules may be periodically updated, irrespective of the amount in dispute.
(c)    Governing Law. Arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be governed by the Texas Arbitration Act. The governing law of any Other Dispute shall be the federal law of the United States or the law of the State of Texas, as applicable to the issues raised in the Other Dispute. The governing law expressly includes all requirements imposed by applicable law, including without limitation the pleading and discovery limitations of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
(d)    Collective Proceedings. Other Disputes must be brought only as an individual action or a derivative proceeding (with derivative proceedings being separately subject to the requirements and limitations stated in Section 9.4), and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may not be brought as a class action, mass action, or other form of collective action, and may not be consolidated or joined, in whole or in part, consistent with the Arbitration Rules; provided, however, that the Corporation at its sole option may elect to seek consolidation or joinder of matters as consistent with the Arbitration Rules.
(e)    Tribunal. The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator (if the claim is $5,000,000 or less) or three arbitrators (if the claim exceeds $5,000,000). If the arbitration is conducted by three arbitrators, within 30 days after delivery of the request for arbitration, one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of (i) the shareholder(s) and (ii) the Corporation. In the event a party fails to appoint an arbitrator within this time period, the ICC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators appointed in accordance with the above provisions shall appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment. If the first two appointed arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator within this time period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The third arbitrator shall serve as a chair of the tribunal.
(f)    Location. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.
(g)    Arbitration Fees. Except as provided below, the Corporation shall pay the fees of the ICC (including the initial administrative filing fee) and the arbitrator(s).
(i)    Claims Arising from the Same or Similar Conduct. If more than three claims arising from the same or similar conduct, transaction, or occurrence are submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.2 within any three-year period, all but the first-filed claim shall be stayed pending final resolution of that first-filed claim. In such circumstance, the Corporation and each shareholder asserting such a claim shall bear equal shares of the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees. Provided, however, that if any shareholder party or parties are ultimately successful on all of their claims, the Corporation shall reimburse the successful shareholder party or parties for the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees paid by such shareholder party or parties in accordance with this Section 10.2(g)(i). Following resolution of the first-filed claim, the Corporation and each shareholder asserting a claim that was stayed shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disputes with the benefit of the resolution of the first-filed claim. For purposes of
37


this section, resolution of the first-filed claim shall mean either the date that a final, unappealable judgment is entered confirming or vacating any final award, or the effective date of any agreement to resolve such claim informally. If, despite such good faith negotiations, the Corporation and any such shareholder shall be unable to resolve their disputes, the arbitration initiated by such shareholder may proceed at the request of either party not less than 90 days after resolution of the first-filed claim.
(ii)    Claims Asserted by the Same Shareholder. If more than three claims are submitted by the same shareholder(s) within any three-year period pursuant to this Section 10.2, then the Corporation shall pay the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees associated with the first three claims only. Provided, however, that if any shareholder party or parties are ultimately successful on all of their claims, the Corporation shall reimburse the successful shareholder party or parties for the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees paid by such shareholder party or parties in accordance with this Section 10.2(g)(ii).
(iii)    Frivolous Claims. If any claim submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.2 is determined by the tribunal to be frivolous, without reasonable cause, or for an improper purpose such as bad faith or vexatious litigation, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in defending against such claim, including any ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees.
(h)    Language. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
(i)    Agreement to Arbitrate. This Article constitutes an express agreement to arbitration by each shareholder, the Corporation, its directors, its officers and its controlling persons, and each underwriter of securities issued by the Corporation (if any). In accordance with Texas law’s treatment of bylaws as a contract between shareholders and the Corporation, this agreement shall be treated as a written agreement to arbitrate all Other Disputes.
(j)    Preliminary Legal Determinations. Each person to whom this Section 10.2 applies hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right under the laws of any jurisdiction to apply to any court of law or other judicial authority to determine any preliminary point of law.
(k)    Tribunal’s Authority. The tribunal’s authority is subject to the same limits as the authority of a judge in a Texas court of law. The tribunal does not have authority to issue an award which (i) exceeds the tribunal’s authority under the Texas Arbitration Act; (ii) contains a reversible error of state or federal law, including as to the admissibility of evidence, or a clearly erroneous finding of fact; or (iii) applies a cause of action or provides a remedy not expressly provided for under applicable Texas or federal law. The tribunal’s application of the pleading and discovery limitations imposed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act is mandatory for applicable claims and shall not constitute a refusal to hear evidence pertinent and/or material to the controversy under Texas or federal law.
(l)    Arbitral Hearing. In any arbitral hearing, the tribunal shall apply the Texas Rules of Evidence, the hearing shall be stenographically recorded, and the tribunal shall issue a
38


reasoned decision, which will state the findings of fact and conclusions of law the tribunal relied upon to support the decision rendered.
(m)    Scope of Judicial Review. Pursuant to the Texas Arbitration Act, the scope of judicial review of the tribunal’s award pursuant to this Section 10.2 includes the ordinary grounds for vacatur, modification, and correction imposed by the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §§ 171.088 and 171.091, and is expanded beyond what is otherwise available under the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code to include review of whether the award: (i) contains a reversible error of state or federal law, including as to the admissibility of evidence, or a clearly erroneous finding of fact; or (ii) applies a cause of action or provides a remedy not expressly provided for under applicable Texas or federal law. The tribunal’s award and the findings of fact and conclusions of law shall be reviewed by the Business Court, or other reviewing court as provided below in Section 10.2(n), or any applicable court of appeals in the manner and to the same extent as an appeal from an order or judgment entered by a Texas court in a civil action.
(n)    Forum of Judicial Review. Any action seeking to confirm, vacate, modify, correct, or otherwise challenge the tribunal’s award shall be brought in the Business Court. To the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that such action is not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum or jurisdiction of the Business Court, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such action shall be the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Federal Court”), or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction over any such Other Dispute, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Dispute shall be the state district courts of Harris County, Texas. In any such action, the parties shall file all court filings under seal, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.
(o)    Alternative Forum. Solely to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that this Section 10.2 is unenforceable either in whole or in part, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Disputes which are determined not to be subject to mandatory arbitration by reason of unenforceability shall be the Federal Court, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction over any such Other Dispute, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Dispute shall be the state district courts of Harris County, Texas.
10.3    Benefit of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled to enforce this Article X for its own benefit, and that of its directors, officers, and controlling persons.
10.4    Specific Performance. Damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Article X, so in the event of a breach or anticipated breach, the remedies of injunction and/or an order for specific performance shall be available to the non-breaching party.
10.5    Severability. Any term or provision of this Article X that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
39


the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
10.6    References. References in this Article X to: (a) “Corporation” shall be read to include each and any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries from time to time; (b) “director” shall be read to include each and any director of the Corporation from time to time in his or her capacity as such or as employee of the Corporation and shall include any former director of the Corporation; (c) “officer” shall be read to include each and any officer of the Corporation from time to time in his or her capacity as such or as employee of the Corporation and shall include any former officer of the Corporation; and (d) “controlling person” shall be read in accordance with Chapter 25A of the Texas Government Code and to include any individual or entity who directly or indirectly controls a governing person, officer, or organization.
