Section 11.5 Transfer to Agent. If the Board determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer, then, upon written demand by the Corporation sent within thirty days of the date on which the Board determines that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Securities, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate (if any), book-entry entitlement, book-entry position or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferees possession or control, together with any Prohibited Distributions, to an agent designated by the Board (the Agent). The Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arms-length transactions (on the public securities market on which such Excess Securities are traded, if possible, or otherwise privately); provided, however, that any such sale must not constitute a Prohibited Transfer and provided, further, that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agents discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporations demand to surrender Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sale proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI if the Agent rather than the Purported Transferee had resold the Excess Securities. Section 11.6 Application of Proceeds and Prohibited Distributions. The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee has previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, together, in either case, with
Page 12 any Prohibited Distributions, as follows: (i) first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder; (ii) second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or the fair market value at the time of the Transfer, in the event the purported Transfer of the Excess Securities was, in whole or in part, a gift, inheritance or similar Transfer) which amount (or fair market value) shall be determined at the discretion of the Board; and (iii) third, any remaining amounts shall be paid to one or more organizations selected by the Board which are described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (or any comparable successor provision) and contributions to which are eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2552 of the Code. The Purported Transferee of Excess Securities shall have no claim, cause of action or any other recourse whatsoever against any transferor of Excess Securities. The Purported Transferees sole right with respect to such shares shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to this Section 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI. In no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Section 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI inure to the benefit of the Corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover costs and expenses incurred by Agent in performing its duties hereunder. Section 11.7 Modification of Remedies for Certain Indirect Transfers. In the event of any Transfer that does not involve a transfer of Corporation Securities within the meaning of the TBOC but that would cause a 4.9-percent Shareholder to violate a restriction on Transfers provided for in this ARTICLE XI, the application of Sections 11.5 and 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI shall be modified as described in this Section 11.7 of this ARTICLE XI. In such case, no such 4.9-percent Shareholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Corporation Security, but such 4.9-percent Shareholder and/or any Person whose ownership of Corporation Securities is attributed to such 4.9-percent Shareholder (such 4.9-percent Shareholder or other Person, a Remedial Holder) shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Corporation Securities (which Corporation Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such 4.9-percent Shareholder, following such disposition, not to be in violation of this ARTICLE XI. Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Corporation Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Sections 11.5 and 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI, except that the maximum aggregate amount payable to a Remedial Holder in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer. A Remedial Holder shall not be entitled, with respect to such Excess Securities, to any rights of shareholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities or to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any, following the time of the purported Transfer. All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Securities shall be paid out of any amounts due such 4.9-percent Shareholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 11.7 of this ARTICLE XI is to extend the restrictions in Sections 11.2 and 11.5 of this ARTICLE XI to situations in which there is a 4.9-percent Transaction without a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities, and this Section 11.7 of this ARTICLE XI, along with the other provisions of this ARTICLE XI, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities. Section 11.8 Legal Proceedings; Prompt Enforcement. If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof, in either case, with any Prohibited Distributions, to the Agent within thirty days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to Section 11.5 of this ARTICLE XI (whether or not made within the time specified in Section 11.5 of this ARTICLE XI), then the Corporation may take such actions as it deems appropriate to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Section 11.8 of this ARTICLE XI shall (i) be deemed inconsistent with any Transfer of the Excess Securities provided in this ARTICLE XI being void ab initio, (ii) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand or (iii) cause any failure of
Page 13 the Corporation to act within the time periods set forth in Section 11.5 of this ARTICLE XI to constitute a waiver or loss of any right of the Corporation under this ARTICLE XI. The Board may authorize such additional actions as it deems advisable to give effect to the provisions of this ARTICLE XI. Section 11.9 Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any shareholder subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE XI who knowingly violates the provisions of this ARTICLE XI and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with such shareholder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including but not limited to damages resulting from a reduction in, or elimination of, the Corporations ability to utilize its Tax Benefits, and attorneys and auditors fees incurred in connection with such violation. Section 11.10 Obligation to Provide Information. As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Stock, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Stock, and any proposed Transferee and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed Transferee, shall provide such information as the Corporation may request from time to time in order to determine compliance with this ARTICLE XI or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation. Section 11.11 Legends. The Board may require that any certificates issued by the Corporation (if any) and/or any notices, statements or other writing delivered in connection with uncertificated book-entry shares (including book-entry entitlements or book-entry positions), in each case evidencing ownership of shares of Stock that are subject to the restrictions on transfer and ownership contained in this ARTICLE XI bear the following legend: THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION OF THE COMPANY CONTAINS RESTRICTIONS PROHIBITING THE TRANSFER (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION) OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY (INCLUDING THE CREATION OR GRANT OF CERTAIN OPTIONS, RIGHTS AND WARRANTS) WITHOUT THE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY (THE BOARD) IF SUCH TRANSFER AFFECTS THE PERCENTAGE OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 382 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE CODE) AND THE TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER) THAT IS TREATED AS OWNED BY A 4.9-PERCENT SHAREHOLDER (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION). IF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE VIOLATED, THEN THE TRANSFER WILL BE VOID AB INITIO AND THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE OF THE STOCK WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER EXCESS SECURITIES (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION) TO THE COMPANYS AGENT. IN THE EVENT OF A TRANSFER WHICH DOES NOT INVOLVE SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS CODE (SECURITIES) BUT WHICH WOULD VIOLATE THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE (OR THE RECORD OWNER) OF THE SECURITIES THAT VIOLATE THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER SUFFICIENT SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION TO CAUSE THE 4.9-PERCENT SHAREHOLDER TO NO LONGER BE IN VIOLATION OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS ARTICLE XI A COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION CONTAINING THE ABOVE-REFERENCED TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. The Board may also require that any certificates issued by the Corporation (if any) and/or any notices, statements or other writing delivered in connection with uncertificated book-entry shares (including book-entry entitlements or book-entry positions), in each case evidencing ownership of shares of Stock that
Page 14 are subject to conditions imposed by the Board under Section 11.3 of this ARTICLE XI also bear a conspicuous legend referencing the applicable restrictions. Section 11.12 Authority of Board. (a) The Board shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for assessing compliance with this ARTICLE XI, including, without limitation, (1) the identification of 4.9-percent Shareholders, (2) whether a Transfer is a 4.9-percent Transaction or a Prohibited Transfer, (3) the Percentage Share Ownership in the Corporation of any 4.9-percent Shareholder, (4) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (5) whether it shall grant an exception in accordance with Section 11.3 of this ARTICLE XI, (6) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee pursuant to Section 11.6 of this ARTICLE XI, and (7) any other matters which the Board determines to be relevant; and the good faith determination of the Board on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all the purposes of this ARTICLE XI. In addition, the Board may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind bylaws, regulations and procedures of the Corporation not inconsistent with the provisions of this ARTICLE XI for purposes of determining whether any Transfer of Corporation Securities would jeopardize or endanger the Corporations ability to preserve and use the Tax Benefits and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of this ARTICLE XI. (b) Nothing contained in this ARTICLE XI shall limit the authority of the Board to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and its shareholders in preserving the Tax Benefits. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a change in law making one or more of the following actions necessary or desirable, the Board may, by adopting a written resolution, (1) accelerate the Expiration Date, (2) modify the ownership interest percentage in the Corporation or the Persons or groups covered by this ARTICLE XI, (3) modify the definitions of any terms set forth in this ARTICLE XI or (4) modify the terms of this ARTICLE XI as appropriate, in each case, in order to prevent an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 of the Code as a result of any changes in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise; provided, however, that the Board shall not cause there to be such acceleration or modification unless it determines, by adopting a written resolution, that such action is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the Tax Benefits or that the continuation of these restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary for the preservation of the Tax Benefits. Shareholders of the Corporation shall be notified of such determination through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or such other method of notice as the Secretary of the Corporation shall deem appropriate. (c) In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this ARTICLE XI, including any definition used herein, the Board shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event this ARTICLE XI requires an action by the Board but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this ARTICLE XI. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations which are done or made by the Board in good faith shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties for all other purposes of this ARTICLE XI. The Board may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this ARTICLE XI to a committee of the Board as it deems necessary or advisable and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this ARTICLE XI through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this ARTICLE XI shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board in its exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Section 11.13 Reliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer or the corporate controller of the Corporation and the Corporations legal counsel, independent auditors, transfer
Page 15 agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by this ARTICLE XI. The members of the Board shall not be responsible for any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owned by, any shareholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities. Section 11.14 Benefits of This ARTICLE XI. Nothing in this ARTICLE XI shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this ARTICLE XI. This ARTICLE XI shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent. Section 11.15 Severability. The purpose of this ARTICLE XI is to facilitate the Corporations ability to maintain or preserve its Tax Benefits. If any provision of this ARTICLE XI or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this ARTICLE XI. Section 11.16 Waiver. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent under this ARTICLE XI, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise or other indulgence.
