ARTICLE X
A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director, except to the extent that the director is found liable for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith that constitute a breach of duty of the director to the Corporation or acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; (iii) for any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s office; or (iv) any act or omission for which the liability of the director is expressly provided for by an applicable statute. If the TBOC or any other applicable Texas statute hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by such amended act. Any repeal or modification of this Article X by the shareholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE XI
The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and may indemnify its officers, employees or agents to the full extent permitted by law if any such person was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
5
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without the determination or authorization otherwise required under the TBOC after the Corporation receives the written affirmation and written undertaking of such director as set forth in Section 8.104 of the TBOC, or any successor provision.
