other remuneration, with or without expenses of attendance, may be allowed for

preclude any Director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an
officer, agent or employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 14. Indemnification of Directors, Officers
--------------------------------------
and Employees.
-------------
A. In the event a person is sued, either alone or with others, because he
is or was a Director, officer or employee of the corporation, in any proceeding
arising out of his alleged misfeasance or nonfeasance in the performance of his
duties as such Director, officer or employee, or out of any alleged wrongful act
by the corporation, he shall be indemnified for his reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees incurred in the defense of the proceeding, if both of
the following conditions exist: (i) the person sued is successful in whole or in
part,
Amendment to Bylaws (Revised May 1, 1996)
- -------------------
Page 5
or the proceeding against him is settled with the approval of the court, and
(ii) the court finds that his conduct fairly and equitable merits such
indemnity.
The amount of such indemnity may be assessed against the corporation, its
receiver, its trustee, or any other proper party, by the court in the same or in
a separate proceeding and shall be so much of the expenses, including attorneys'
fees incurred in the defense of the action as the court determines and finds to
be reasonable. Application for such indemnity may be made either by a person
sued or by the attorney or other person rendering services to him in connection
with the defense, and the court may order fees and expenses to be paid directly
to the attorney or other person although he is not a party to the proceeding.
Notice of the application for such indemnity shall be served upon the
corporation, its receiver, or its trustee and upon the plaintiff and other
parties to the proceeding. The court may also order notice to be given to the
shareholders in the manner provided elsewhere in these bylaws for giving notice
of shareholders' meetings, in such form as the court directs.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors may
authorize the corporation to pay expenses incurred by or to satisfy a judgment
or fine rendered or levied against a present or former Director, officer or
employee of the corporation in an action brought by a third party against such
person (whether or not the corporation is joined as a party defendant) to impose
a liability or penalty on such person for an act alleged to have been committed
by such person in the performance of his duties as such Director, officer or
employee, or by the corporation, or by both, provided the Board of Directors
determines that such Director, officer or employee was acting in good faith
within what he reasonably believed to be the scope of his employment or
authority and for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation or its shareholders. Payments authorized hereunder
include amounts paid and expenses incurred in settling any such action or
threatened action. This Paragraph does not apply to any action instituted or
maintained as the right of the corporation by a shareholder or holder of a
voting trust certificate representing shares of the corporation.
C. The provisions of this Section shall apply to the estate, executor,
administrator, heirs, legatees or devisees of any such present or former
Director, officer or employee of the corporation.
D. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, authorize the purchase
of a policy or policies of insurance against any liability of the corporation to
indemnify any person pursuant to this Section, containing such terms and
conditions as the Board may deem appropriate. Such policy or policies may
include provisions for the direct indemnification of directors, officers or
other persons for expenses of a kind not subject to indemnification hereunder,
provided the premiums on such combined policy are, in the judgment of the Board,
fairly allocated between the corporation and the insured persons.
E. The foregoing provisions of this Section 14 shall not be considered as
limiting the right of indemnification permitted by the Texas Business
Corporation Act, Article 2.021, but indemnification shall be to the maximum
extent permitted under Texas Business Corporation Act, Article 2.02-1.
