Article VI
DIRECTORS

 

1.       General. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided herein or required by the TBOC.

 

2.       Election of Directors. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time (the “Bylaws”), shall so provide.

 

3.       Number of Directors; Classified Board. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they severally hold office, into three classes. The initial Class I Director of the Corporation shall be [Ian Stuart]; the initial Class II Director of the Corporation shall be [Kuoh Lee]; and the initial Class III Director of the Corporation shall be [Michael Thomas]. The initial Class I Director shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders held after the effectiveness of this Certificate, the initial Class II Director shall serve for a term expiring at the second such annual meeting, and the initial Class III Director shall serve for a term expiring at the third such annual meeting. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or together with holders of other such series, to elect directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate and the applicable Statement of Resolution.

 

4.       Vacancies. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock and to the extent permitted by Section 21.410 of the TBOC, any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and not by the stockholders; provided, however, that any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the Board of Directors only for a term of office continuing until the next election of one or more directors by the stockholders, and the Board of Directors may not fill more than two such directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the unexpired term of such director’s predecessor and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. When the number of directors is changed, the Board of Directors shall determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director, which limitation shall apply notwithstanding the classification of the Board of Directors.

 

4

 

 

5.       Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose.

 

Article VII
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, including Section 7.001 thereof, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in such person’s capacity as a director or officer, except that this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer to the extent such person is found liable for (a) a breach of such person’s duty of loyalty, if any, to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of such person to the Corporation or an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) a transaction from which such person received an improper benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of such person’s duties, or (d) an act or omission for which the liability of such person is expressly provided by an applicable statute. If the TBOC is amended after the effectiveness of this Certificate to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as so amended, in addition to the elimination and limitation of liability provided in the preceding sentence.

 

Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article, whether by the stockholders of the Corporation or by an amendment to the TBOC, shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any act or omission occurring before such amendment, repeal or modification.

 

Article VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

The Corporation shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, manager, employee, agent or similar functionary of another entity or enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 8 of the TBOC, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, and in the manner provided in the Bylaws. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation to the extent permitted by the TBOC. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or establish other arrangements on behalf of any such person in accordance with Section 8.151 of the TBOC. The rights conferred by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and no amendment or repeal of this Article shall adversely affect any right existing with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

2.       Amendment by Stockholders. The Bylaws may be amended or repealed at any annual meeting, or special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose in accordance with the Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision of this Certificate in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the TBOC and this Certificate, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Pursuant to Section 21.365 of the TBOC, and except as otherwise required by law or any Statement of Resolution, any amendment to this Certificate shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with Article V (Stockholder Action), Article VI (Directors), Article IX (Amendment of Bylaws), Article XI (Exclusive Forum) or this Article X.

 

Article XI

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state courts located in Smith County, Texas shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of or based on a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC, this Certificate or the Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that this Article shall not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article.

 

Article XII
SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision of this Certificate becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Certificate, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Certificate with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Corporation’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Certificate shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
