PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         In the opinion of management, the following unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Seagull Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
"Company" or "Seagull") as of March 31, 1995, and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  As
discussed in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, Seagull
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of," effective March 31, 1995. Under SFAS No. 121, the Company
recorded a non-cash impairment of gas and oil properties as a separate line
item in the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  All other adjustments made are of a normal,
recurring nature.  The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

         The financial information presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994.

Gas and Oil Properties.                                       

         Effective March 31, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".  This SFAS
requires that an impairment loss be recognized when the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds the sum of the estimated future cash flow (undiscounted) of the
asset.  Under SFAS No. 121, the Company reviewed the impairment of gas and oil
properties on a depletable unit basis.  For each depletable unit determined to
be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying
value and the fair value of the depletable unit was recognized.  Fair value, on
a depletable unit basis, was estimated to be the present value of expected
future cash flows computed by applying estimated future gas and oil prices, as
determined by management, to estimated future production of gas and oil
reserves over the economic lives of the reserves.  As a result of the adoption
of SFAS No. 121, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax charge against
earnings during the first quarter of $44.4 million.

         Prior to March 31, 1995, the Company determined the impairment of
proved gas and oil properties on a world-wide basis.  Using the world-wide
basis, if the net capitalized costs exceeded the estimated future undiscounted
after-tax net cash flows from proved gas and oil reserves using period-end
pricing, such excess costs would be charged to expense.

Earnings Per Share.

     The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
computation of earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 gives
effect to the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options as of the beginning of
the period.  The effect of the assumed exercise of stock options as of the
beginning of the period has an anti-dilutive effect on the computation of
earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and has therefore not
been included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is a party to ongoing litigation in the normal course of
business.  Management regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary,
provides accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these
matters.  While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the
Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the effect
on its financial condition and results of operations, if any, will not be
material.

NOTE 3.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company announced plans to reduce
the Company's workforce and consolidate operations into a smaller number of
locations.  Company-wide, 90-95 of about 770 positions will be eliminated in
the combined workforce reduction and consolidation.  During the quarter ending
June 30, 1995, the Company will record estimated one-time pre-tax charges of
approximately $8 million to account for the expenses involved in the workforce
reduction and consolidation.

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company also announced plans to
dispose of its interests in 17 gas gathering pipelines (including one 
partnership), one liquid hydrocarbons pipeline and one gas processing plant.
These operations represent a substantial portion of the Company's pipeline and
marketing segment.  The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of these
pipeline assets in the quarter the transaction is closed.  For the three months
ended March 31, 1995, the pipeline assets to be disposed of contributed $1.3
million to the operating profit of the pipeline and marketing segment. At March
31, 1995, the pipeline assets to be disposed of had a net carrying value of
approximately $10.7 million.  The Company also announced plans to dispose of
all of the shares of its subsidiary that holds its 50% interest in Cavallo
Pipeline Company ("Cavallo").  Seagull also operates Cavallo.  For the three
months ended March 31, 1995, Cavallo contributed $0.3 million to the operating
profit of the pipeline and marketing segment and Seagull's investment in
Cavallo amounted to approximately $4.3 million at March 31, 1995.

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company also announced plans to
monetize the Section 29 tax credits available to certain gas and oil
properties.

         The proceeds from the sale of certain pipeline assets, Cavallo and the
monetization of tax credits of certain gas and oil properties will be used to
pay down the Company's borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  These
transactions will also reduce the available borrowing base under the Company's
revolving credit facility.

         The decrease in net earnings for the first quarter of 1995 was due to
the decrease in operating profit and increase in interest expense, which was
partially offset by a decrease in income taxes (see "Other (Income) Expense"
section below).  The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to the
Exploration and Production ("E&P") segment's 39% decrease in revenues and
impairment of gas and oil properties of $44.4 million.  Revenues and operating
profit are discussed in the respective segment sections.

         Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating
assets and liabilities decreased in the 1995 quarter versus 1994 primarily due
to the decrease in E&P revenues.  The decrease in E&P revenues was due primarily
to a 34% decrease in the price of natural gas and a decrease in natural gas
production.  The decrease in natural gas production was primarily a result of
voluntary curtailments due to natural gas prices being below acceptable levels.

CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS, CONTINUED

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company announced plans to reduce
the Company's workforce and consolidate operations into a smaller number of
locations.  Company-wide, 90-95 of about 770 positions will be eliminated in
the combined workforce reduction and consolidation.  The Company will record
estimated one-time pre-tax charges of approximately $8 million in the second
quarter of 1995 to account for the expenses involved in the workforce reduction
and consolidation.

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company also announced plans to
dispose of its interests in 17 gas gathering pipelines (including one
partnership), one liquid hydrocarbons pipeline and one gas processing plant.
These operations represent a substantial portion of the Company's pipeline and
marketing segment.  The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of these
pipeline assets in the quarter the transaction is closed.  The Company also
announced plans to dispose of all of the shares of its subsidiary that holds
its 50% interest in Cavallo Pipeline Company ("Cavallo").  Seagull also operates
Cavallo.  See "Pipeline and Marketing" section below.

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company also announced plans to
monetize the Section 29 tax credits available to certain gas and oil
properties.

         The proceeds from the sale of certain pipeline assets, Cavallo and the
monetization of tax credits of certain gas and oil properties will be used to
pay down the Company's borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  These 
transactions will also reduce the available borrowing base under the Company's
revolving credit facility.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION, Continued

         The decrease in operating profit of the E&P segment for the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the 1994 period was primarily due to a 39%
decrease in revenues, an increase in exploration charges and a charge for
impairment of gas and oil properties, which was partially offset by decreased
depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense and lifting costs.

         The decrease in E&P revenues for the first quarter of 1995 as compared
to 1994 was primarily the result of a 34% decrease in the Company's average
realized price of natural gas due to several factors beyond the control of the 
Company (warm weather, new gas supply, utilization of competitive fuels).  
Revenues also decreased as a result of voluntary production curtailments due 
to the lower natural gas prices.  There were no voluntary curtailments in the 
same period in 1994.

         DD&A expense and lifting costs decreased as a result of the
significant decrease in production.

         Exploration charges increased for the 1995 quarter due to a
significant increase in seismic and dry hole costs.  The increase in seismic
costs is primarily due to an increase in 3-D seismic surveys on offshore
blocks.  Two of six exploratory wells drilled were successful and six wells,
four of which were in Canada, were drilling or being evaluated as of mid-April
1995 in comparison to two successes out of three exploratory wells drilled for
the 1994 period.

         Effective March 31, 1995,  the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".  As a result of
the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax charge 
against earnings during the first quarter of $44.4 million.  As a result of the
impairment, the Company's average DD&A rate per equivalent unit of production 
is expected to decrease from $0.96 per Mcfe for the first quarter of 1995 to 
approximately $0.86 per Mcfe for the remainder of 1995.

         If natural gas prices remain at their first quarter 1995 levels, E&P
operating results are expected to continue to be substantially lower than the
previous year.  As in the past, the Company will curtail production whenever
prices are deemed to be below acceptable levels.  As E&P operating profit
represented nearly half of the Company's operating profit for the year ended
December 31, 1994, a substantial decrease in E&P operating results will have a
significant impact on the Company's total operating results.  The Company's
operating profit from pipeline and marketing is expected to decrease from the
year ended December 31, 1994 based on the anticipated sale of certain of the
pipeline assets (see "Pipeline and Marketing" section below), however, the
Company expects to record a gain on the sale of the pipeline assets in the
quarter the transaction is closed.  Operating profit for the Alaska
transmission and distribution segment is not expected to change significantly
in 1995.  However, the Company expects its interest costs to increase in 1995
due to the effect of higher rates for the entire year.

         Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the Company announced plans to dispose
of its interests in 17 gas gathering pipelines (including one partnership),
one liquid hydrocarbons pipeline and one gas processing plant.  These
operations represent a substantial portion of the Company's pipeline and
marketing segment.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the pipeline
assets to be disposed of contributed $1.3 million to the operating profit of
the pipeline and marketing segment.  At March 31, 1995, the pipeline assets to
be disposed of had a net carrying value of approximately $10.7 million.  The
Company also announced plans to dispose of all of the shares of its subsidiary
that holds its 50% interest in Cavallo.  Seagull also operates Cavallo.  For
the three months ended March 31, 1995, Cavallo contributed $0.3 million to the
operating profit of the pipeline and marketing segment and Seagull's investment
in Cavallo amounted to approximately $4.3 million at March 31, 1995. The 
Company is retaining the marketing and supply and operating and construction 
services areas as well as certain assets in the pipelines and gas processing 
areas.

         In the pipeline and marketing segment, operating profit for the first
quarter of 1995 declined in comparison to the 1994 period due to declines in
the marketing and supply and operating and construction services areas which
more than offset improvements in the gas processing area.

         Operating profit in the marketing and supply area declined primarily
due to a 15% reduction in third party volumes delivered for marketing, a 38%
decrease in the margin received on third party marketing sales
and a significant decrease in the marketing fees received from the sale of gas
produced by the E&P segment due to lower gas prices and voluntary
curtailments.

         In the gas processing area, operating profit improved in 1995 due to
an increase in the average daily net production of one of the Company's gas
processing plants due to the resumption of ethane recovery subsequent to the
first quarter of 1994.

         In the first quarter of 1994, Seagull completed a gas pipeline
construction project the Company began in mid-1993.  The Company also
recognized additional operating profit of $250,000 during the first quarter of
1995 when the warranty period for this project expired. Historically, the
Company has not been engaged in pipeline construction projects on a
consistently recurring basis.  Seagull is currently conducting marketing
efforts and anticipates it will generate new projects.

(*)  A measure of weather severity calculated by subtracting the mean
     temperature for each day from 65 degrees Fahrenheit.  More degree days 
     equate to colder weather.

         Operating profit of the Alaska transmission and distribution segment
for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased $1.0 million from that of the
prior year quarter primarily due to colder weather in the utility's service
area and a 2% increase in the number of customers.

         In the first quarter of 1995, two large utility customers that
previously purchased gas from ENSTAR Alaska began purchasing gas directly from
gas producers.  ENSTAR Alaska currently transports the customers' gas supplies
for a fee that is comparable to the margin (revenues net of the associated cost
of gas sold) it previously earned.  Accordingly, operating profit for the
Alaska transmission and distribution segment was basically unaffected by this
change.

         This segment's business is seasonal with approximately 65% of its
sales made in the first and fourth quarters of each year.

====================================================================================================
</TABLE>

         General and administrative expenses declined in 1995 due primarily to
lower accrued incentive compensation expense for the first quarter 1995,
partially offset by an increase in costs associated with three compensation
plans, one for outside directors, one for key managers, and the other for all
Seagull employees, that are tied directly to the price of Seagull Common Stock.
The closing price of Seagull Common Stock increased 3% in the first quarter of
1995 from $19.125 at December 31, 1994 to $19.75 on March 31, 1995, compared to
a 6% decrease in the 1994 period.

     Interest expense increased in the first quarter of 1995 as a result of an
increase in the overall level of interest rates since the 1994 quarter.  The
average interest rate on the Company's U.S. revolving credit was 6.8% for the
first quarter of 1995 versus 4.4% for the first quarter of 1994.

INCOME TAXES

     The decrease in income taxes in the 1995 quarter was primarily a result of
the decrease in earnings before income taxes for the period.

         Total capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1995 decreased
$4.2 million from those for the 1994 quarter.   Current plans for 1995 call for
capital expenditures of approximately $122 million, including about $112
million in exploration and production.  As the Company funds capital
expenditures from internally generated funds, the Company will reduce or
increase capital expenditures as economic conditions dictate.

         The Company has a revolving credit line (the "U.S. Credit Agreement")
with a maximum commitment of $725 million.  The amount of senior indebtedness
available to the Company under the provisions of the U.S. Credit Agreement is
subject to a borrowing base (the "Borrowing Base") based upon the proved
reserves of the Company's exploration and production segment and the financial
performance of the Company's other business segments.  The Borrowing Base is
generally determined annually, but may be redetermined, at the option of either
Seagull or the banks, one additional time each year, and will be redetermined
upon the sale of certain assets included in the Borrowing Base.

         Currently, the available commitment under the U.S. Credit Agreement is
subject to a $625 million Borrowing Base and is determined after consideration
of outstanding borrowings under Seagull's other senior debt facilities.  As of
April 28, 1995, borrowings outstanding under the U.S. Credit Agreement were
$237.0 million, leaving immediately available unused commitments of
approximately $176.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of 
$2.9 million, $100 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company's 
senior notes, the nominated borrowing availability of $95 million under the 
Canadian Credit Agreement discussed below, and $13.8 million of borrowings 
outstanding under Seagull's money market facilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED

         The anticipated proceeds from the sale of certain pipeline assets,
Cavallo and the monetization of tax credits of certain gas and oil properties
will be used to pay down the Company's borrowings under the U.S. Credit
Agreement.  The sale of certain pipeline assets, Cavallo and the monetization
of tax credits of certain gas and oil properties will also reduce the available
Borrowing Base under the U.S. Credit Agreement.  The effect of lower natural
gas prices on the estimated cash flow of the Company's proved reserves will
also result in a reduction of the Borrowing Base.  However, management believes
that the Company's capital resources will be sufficient to finance current and
forecasted operations.

         During the first quarter of 1995, the Company made a capital
contribution of approximately $73 million to a wholly owned subsidiary, Seagull
Energy Canada Ltd. ("Seagull Canada").  The Company funded the capital
contribution by an additional borrowing under the U.S. Credit Agreement.
Seagull Canada used the proceeds to repay a portion of the balance outstanding
under its $175 million reducing revolving credit facility (the "Canadian Credit
Agreement") and concurrently elected to reduce the nominated maximum borrowing
available under the Canadian Credit Agreement from $160 million to $95 million.
The Canadian Credit Agreement provides for dual currency borrowings in U.S. and
Canadian dollars and has a flexible nominated maximum borrowing availability
which amount is taken into consideration in the calculation of availability
under the U.S. Credit Agreement, and which may be increased or decreased by
Seagull Canada at its discretion.

         In addition to the facilities discussed above, Seagull has money
market facilities with two major U.S. banks with a combined maximum commitment
of $70 million.  These lines of credit bear interest at rates made available by
the banks at their discretion and may be canceled at either Seagull's or the
banks' discretion.  The lines are subject to annual renewal.

                           SEAGULL ENERGY CORPORATION
                              A Texas Corporation


                                   ARTICLE I

                               REGISTERED OFFICE

         The registered office of the Corporation required by the Texas
Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA") to be maintained in the State of Texas
shall be 1001 Fannin, Suite 1700, Houston, Texas 77002 or such other office
(which need not be a place of business of the Corporation) as may be designated
from time to time by the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  SHAREHOLDERS

         Section 1.  Place of Meetings.  All meetings of the shareholders shall
be held at the principal place of business of the Corporation or at such other
place within or without the State of Texas as shall be specified or fixed in
the notices or waivers of notice thereof; provided that any or all shareholders
may participate in any such meeting by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment pursuant to Article II, Section 12 of these bylaws.

         Section 2.  Quorum; Required Vote for Shareholder Action; Adjournment
of Meetings.  (a)  Quorum.  A quorum shall be present at a meeting of
shareholders if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote are
represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, unless otherwise provided in
the Articles of Incorporation in accordance with the TBCA.  Once a quorum is
present at a meeting of shareholders, the shareholders represented in person or
by proxy at the meeting may conduct such business as may be properly brought
before the meeting until it is adjourned, and the subsequent withdrawal from
the meeting of any shareholder or the refusal of any shareholder represented in
person or by proxy to vote shall not affect the presence of a quorum at the
meeting.

         (b)     Voting on Matters Other Than the Election of Directors.  With
respect to any matter, other than the election of directors or a matter for
which the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares
entitled to vote is required by the TBCA, the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on that matter and represented in
person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present
shall





                                      -1-

be the act of the shareholders, unless otherwise provided in the Articles of
Incorporation or these bylaws in accordance with the TBCA.

         (c)     Voting in the Election of Directors.  Unless otherwise
provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws in accordance with
the TBCA, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the
holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum is present.

         (d)     Adjournment.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of the
Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the
holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote that are represented in
person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders, whether or not a quorum is
present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time,
without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place
of the holding of the adjourned meeting.  If such meeting is adjourned by the
shareholders, such time and place shall be determined by a vote of the holders
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote that are represented in person or
by proxy at such meeting.  Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any
business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally called.

         Section 3.  Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the shareholders,
for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the
transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting,
shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Texas, on such date
and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the
notice of the meeting, which date shall be within 13 months subsequent to the
most recent annual meeting of shareholders.

         Section 4.  Special Meetings.  Unless otherwise provided in the
Articles of Incorporation, special meetings of the shareholders for any proper
purpose or purposes may be called at any time by (a) the Chairman of the Board
(if any), the President, the Board of Directors, or such other person or
persons as may be authorized in the Articles of Incorporation or (b) unless the
Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, the holders of at least ten
percent of all the shares entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting.

         If not otherwise stated in or fixed in accordance with the remaining
provisions hereof, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to
call a special meeting is the date any shareholder first signs the notice of
that meeting.

         Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice
(or waiver thereof) required by these bylaws may be conducted at a special
meeting of the shareholders.

         Section 5.  Closing Share Transfer Records; Record Date.  For the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a
distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution involving a purchase
or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend,
or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose
(other than determining





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   4
shareholders entitled to consent to action by shareholders proposed to be taken
without a meeting of shareholders), the Board of Directors of the Corporation
may provide that the share transfer records shall be closed for a stated period
but not to exceed, in any case, 60 days.  If the share transfer records shall
be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such records shall be closed for at least
ten days immediately preceding such meeting.

         In lieu of closing the share transfer records, the Board of Directors
may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days and, in the
case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days, prior to the date on
which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to
be taken.

         If the share transfer records are not closed and no record date is
fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive a distribution
(other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the
Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, the date on which
notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the
Board of Directors declaring such distribution or share dividend is adopted, as
the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of
shareholders.

         When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting
of shareholders has been made as provided herein, such determination shall also
apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made
through the closing of share transfer records and the stated period of closing
has expired.

         Section 6.  Notice of Meetings.  Written or printed notice stating the
place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not
less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either
personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary
or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to
vote at such meeting.  If mailed, any such notice shall be deemed to be
delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the
shareholder at his address as it appears on the share transfer records of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

         Any notice required to be given to any shareholder, under any
provision of the TBCA or the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws need not
be given to the shareholder if (a) notice of two consecutive annual meetings
and all notices of meetings held during the period between those annual
meetings, if any, or (b) all (but in no event less than two) payments of
distributions or interest on securities during a 12-month period have been
mailed to that person by first-class mail, addressed to him at his 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
person shall have the same force and effect as if the notice had been duly
given and, if the action taken by the Corporation is reflected in any articles
or document filed with the Secretary of State, those articles or that document
may state that notice was duly given to all persons to whom notice





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5
was required to be given.  If such a person delivers to the Corporation written
notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be
given to that person shall be reinstated.

         Section 7.  Voting List.  The officer or agent having charge of the
share transfer records of the Corporation shall make, at least ten days before
each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to
vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical
order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list,
for a period of ten days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the
registered office or principal place of business of the Corporation and shall
be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business
hours.  Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of
the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during
the whole time of the meeting.  The original share transfer records shall be
prima-facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such
list or transfer records or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.  Failure to
comply with the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of
any action taken at such meeting.

         Section 8.  Proxies.  A shareholder may vote either in person or by
proxy executed in writing by the shareholder.  A telegram, telex, cablegram or
similar transmission by the shareholder, or a photographic, photostatic,
facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the shareholder
shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of this Section.
Proxies for use at any meeting of shareholders or in connection with the taking
of any action by written consent shall be filed with the Secretary, or such
other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by
resolution, before or at the time of the meeting or execution of the written
consent, as the case may be.  All proxies shall be received and taken charge of
and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting
who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the
validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an
inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the
meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such
questions.

         No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution
unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  A proxy shall be revocable unless the
proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is
coupled with an interest.  Proxies coupled with an interest shall include the
appointment as proxy of any of the persons set forth in the TBCA, including
without limitation:

         (a)     a pledgee;
         (b)     a person who purchased or agreed to purchase, or owns or holds
                 an option to purchase, the shares;
         (c)     a creditor of the Corporation who extended it credit under
                 terms requiring the appointment; 
         (d)     an employee of the Corporation whose employment contract 
                 requires the appointment; or 


                                     -4-


<PAGE>   6

         (e)     a party to a voting agreement executed under Section B, 
                 Article 2.30 of the TBCA.

         Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless
such instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such persons
present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised
shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby
conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that
one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular
issue, the Corporation shall not be required to recognize such proxy with
respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the shares that are
the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

         Section 9.  Voting; Inspectors; Elections.  Unless otherwise required
by law or provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to
a vote at a meeting of shareholders.  If the Articles of Incorporation provide
for more or less than one vote per share for all the outstanding shares or for
the shares of any class or series on any matter, every reference in these
bylaws or in the Article of Incorporation (unless expressly stated otherwise
therein), in connection with such matter, to a specified portion of such shares
shall mean such portion of the votes entitled to be cast in respect of such
shares by virtue of the provisions of such Articles of Incorporation.

         All voting, except as required by the Articles of Incorporation or
where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however,
that a vote by ballot shall be taken upon demand therefor by shareholders
holding issued and outstanding shares representing a majority of the voting
power present in person or by proxy at any meeting.  Every vote by ballot shall
be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the
shareholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under
the procedure established for the meeting.

         At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of
the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an
oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such
meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a
certificate of the result thereof.  The chairman of the meeting may appoint any
person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director
shall be appointed as an inspector.

         At each election of directors each shareholder entitled to vote
thereat shall, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of
Incorporation, have the right to vote the number of shares owned by him for as
many persons as there are to be elected and for whose election he has a right
to vote.

         Section 10.  Conduct of Meetings.  All meetings of the shareholders
shall be presided over by the chairman of the meeting, who shall be the
Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, the President, or if
neither the Chairman of the Board (if any) nor President is present, a chairman
elected at the meeting.  The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall
act as 




                                     -5-

<PAGE>   7

secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary (if
any) shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary (if any)
is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. 
The chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall determine the order of
business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order.  Unless
the chairman of the meeting shall otherwise determine or otherwise conduct
the meeting, the order of business shall be as follows:

         (a)     Calling of meeting to order.
         (b)     Election of a chairman, and the appointment of a secretary, if
                 necessary.
         (c)     Presentation of proof of the due calling of the meeting.
         (d)     Presentation and examination of proxies and determination of a
                 quorum.
         (e)     Reading and settlement of the minutes of the previous meeting.
         (f)     Reports of officers and committees.
         (g)     The election of directors, if an annual meeting or a meeting
                 called for that purpose.
         (h)     Other business.  
         (i)     Adjournment.

         Section 11.  Treasury Shares.  Neither the Corporation nor any other
person shall vote, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, shares of the
Corporation's own stock owned by the Corporation, shares of the Corporation's
own stock owned by another corporation the majority of the voting stock of
which is owned or controlled by the Corporation, and shares of the
Corporation's own stock held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity; and
such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding
shares at any given time.

         Section 12.  Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference.  Any
action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without
a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holder or holders of all the shares entitled to vote
with respect to the action that is the subject of the consent.

         Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each
shareholder who signs the consent.  No written consent shall be effective to
take the action that is the subject to the consent unless, within 60 days after
the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the
manner required by this Section, a consent or consents signed by the holder or
holders of all shares entitled to vote with respect to the action that is the
subject of the consent are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its
registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of
the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of
shareholders are recorded.  Delivery shall be by hand or certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested.  Delivery to the Corporation's
principal place of business shall be addressed to the President or chief
executive officer.




                                     -6-
<PAGE>   8

         A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by a shareholder,
or a photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing signed by a
shareholder, shall be regarded as signed by the shareholder for purposes of
this Section.

        If any action by shareholders is taken by written consent, any articles
or documents filed with the Secretary of State as a result of the taking of the
action shall state, in lieu of any statement required by the TBCA concerning
any vote of shareholders, that written consent has been given in accordance
with the provisions of the TBCA and that any written notice required by the
TBCA has been given.

         Subject to the provisions of the TBCA, the Articles of Incorporation
or these bylaws for notice of meetings, and unless otherwise restricted by the
Articles of Incorporation, shareholders may participate in and hold a meeting
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means
of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and
participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in
person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for
the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the
ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

         Section 13.  Fixing Record Dates for Consents to Action.  Whenever
action by shareholders is proposed to be taken by consent in writing without a
meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to consent to that action, which
record date shall not precede, and shall not be more than ten 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 and
the prior action of the Board of Directors is not required by law, the Articles
of Incorporation or these bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first
date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or
proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its
registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of
the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of
shareholders are recorded.  Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested.  Delivery to the Corporation's
principal place of business shall be addressed to the President or the chief
executive officer of the Corporation.  If no record date shall have been fixed
by the Board of Directors and prior action of the Board of Directors is
required by the TBCA, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, the record
date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing
without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the
Board of Directors adopts a resolution taking such prior action.

         Section 14.  Business to Be Brought Before the Annual Meeting.  To be
properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, business must be
either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise brought before
the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder of the Corporation 
who is a 




                                     -7-
<PAGE>   9


shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
Section, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section.  In addition to any other
applicable requirements, for business to be brought before an annual meeting by
a shareholder of the Corporation, the shareholder must have given timely notice
thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely, a
shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior to
the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation.  A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall
set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposed to bring before the annual
meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting, (ii) the name and address, as the appear on the Corporation's books,
of the shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the acquisition date, the
class and the number of shares of voting stock of the Corporation that are
owned beneficially by the shareholder, (iv) any material interest of the
shareholder in such business and (v) a representation that the shareholder
intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed 
business before the meeting.

         Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business
shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section.

         The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and if
the chairman should so determine, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting
and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be
transacted.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a
shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above, the provisions
of this Section 14 shall be effective only with respect to annual meetings of
shareholders held after December 31, 1995.  (Section added by Amendment on
March 17, 1995.)

                                  ARTICLE III

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Section 1.  Power; Number; Term of Office.  The business and affairs
of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of
Directors and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Articles of
Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation.

         The authorized number of directors that shall constitute the entire
Board of Directors shall not be less than eight nor more than fifteen, and
shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors
(provided that no decrease in the number of directors that would have the
effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board




                                     -8-

<PAGE>   10

of Directors).  During any period that the authorized number of directors is
nine or more, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class
I, Class II and Class III, and the remainder  of this paragraph shall be
effective.  The number of directors in each class shall be the whole number
contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of
directors by three and if a fraction is also contained in such quotient, then
if such fraction is 1/3, the extra director shall be a member of Class III, and
if the fraction is 2/3, one of the directors shall be a member of Class III and
the other shall be a member of Class II.  Except as otherwise provided in
Section 8 of this Article III, each director elected at an annual meeting shall
serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the meeting at
which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first
elected to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the annual meeting
immediately following the annual meeting at which such directors were first
elected, the directors first elected to Class II shall serve for a term ending
on the second annual meeting following the meeting at which such directors were
first elected and the directors first elected to Class III shall serve a full
term as hereinabove provided.  The foregoing notwithstanding, each director
shall serve until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or
until his earlier death, resignation or removal. For purposes of this
paragraph, reference to the first election of directors shall signify the first
election of directors at an annual meeting after January 1, 1986.  At each
annual election held after January 1, 1986, the directors chosen to succeed
those whose terms then expire shall be identified as being of the same class as
the directors they succeed.  If for any reason the number of directors in the
various classes shall not conform with the formula set forth in this paragraph,
the Board of Directors may redesignate any director into a different class in
order that the balance of directors in such classes shall conform thereto;
provided, however, that no such redesignation may have the effect of reducing
the term to which a director was elected.

         If the Board of Directors shall not be classified as set forth above,
each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until
his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death,
resignation or removal.

         Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, directors
need not be residents of the State of Texas nor shareholders of the
Corporation.

         Section 2.  Quorum; Required Vote for Director Action.  Unless
otherwise required by law or provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these
bylaws, a majority of the total number of directors fixed in the manner
provided in these bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business of the Board of Directors, and the act of a majority of the directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board
of Directors.

         Section 3.  Meetings; Order of Business.  Meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at such place or places as shall be determined from time
to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.  At all meetings of the Board
of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to
time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by
the President (if the President is a director), or by resolution of the Board
of Directors.





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   11

         Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground
that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

         Section 4.  First Meeting.  In connection with any annual meeting of
shareholders at which directors were elected, the Board of Directors may, if a
quorum is present, hold its first meeting for the transaction of business
immediately after and at the same place as such annual meeting of the
shareholders.  Notice of such meeting at such time and place shall not be
required.

         Section 5.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.  Notice of such regular
meetings shall not be required.

         Section 6.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), the President
or, on the written request of any one director, by the Secretary, in each case
on at least 24 hours personal, written, telegraphic, cable or wireless notice
to each director.  Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VIII,
Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting,
except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for by the Articles of
Incorporation or these bylaws.

         Section 7.  Removal.  At any meeting of shareholders at which a quorum
of shareholders is present called expressly for that purpose, any director may
be removed, but only for cause, by vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares then entitled to vote for the election of such director; provided that,
in the case shareholders have the right to accumulate votes for the election of
directors, if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no director may be
removed if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him
if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors or
if there be classes of directors at an election of the class of directors of
which such director is a part.

         Section 8.  Vacancies; Increases in the Number of Directors.  Any
vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled in accordance with
the following paragraph of this Section 8 or may be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the
Board of Directors.  Except as otherwise provided below, a director elected to
fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in
office.

         Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors or any directorship to
be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors (i) may be filled
by election at an annual or special meeting of shareholders called for that
purpose or (ii) may be filled by the Board of Directors; provided that, with
respect to any directorship to be filled by the Board of Directors by reason of
an increase in the number of directors, (A) such directorship shall be for a
term of office continuing only until the next election of one or more directors
by the shareholders and (B) the Board of Directors may not fill more than two
such directorships during the period between any





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12


two successive annual meetings of shareholders.  If the Board of Directors is
classified, any director elected to fill a directorship created by reason of an
increase in the number of directors at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders shall be elected for a term coterminous with the remaining term of
the other members of the class to which he has been designated in
accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws.

         Section 9.  Compensation.  Unless restricted by the Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the
compensation, if any, of directors.

         Section 10.  Presumption of Assent.  A director who is present at a
meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate matter is
taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless his dissent shall
be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written
dissent to such action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting
before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail
to the Secretary immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.  Such right
to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

         Section 11.  Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by
Shareholders.  The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or
contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the
shareholders, or at any special meeting of the shareholders called for the
purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that
shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the shareholders holding a
majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at such meeting
(provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the
Corporation and upon all the shareholders as if it shall have been approved or
ratified by every shareholder of the Corporation.

         Section 12.  Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference.  Any
action permitted or required by the TBCA, the Articles of Incorporation or
these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any
committee designated by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting
if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed by all
the members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be.  Such
consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting
and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the
Secretary of State, and the execution of such consent shall constitute
attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any
such committee, as the case may be.  Subject to the requirements of the TBCA,
the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws for notice of meetings, unless
otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation, members of the Board of
Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors,
may participate in and hold a meeting of the Board of Directors or any
committee of directors, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall
constitute attendance and presence in person

at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground
that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

         Section 13.  Nominations for Election as a Director.  Only persons who
are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws and
qualify for nomination pursuant to Section 1 of Article III shall be eligible
for election by shareholders as, and to serve as, directors.  Nominations of
persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made
at a meeting of shareholders (a) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (b) by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of
record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section, who shall
be entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting and who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.  Such
nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary
of the Corporation.  To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to
or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
(i) with respect to an election to be held at the annual meeting of the
shareholders of the Corporation, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the
anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders of
the Corporation, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation for the election of directors not
later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on
which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed to shareholders of
the Corporation as provided in these bylaws or public disclosure of the date of
the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.  Such shareholder's
notice to the Secretary shall set forth (x) as to each person whom the
shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, all
information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required,
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy
statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected), and (y) as to
the shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on
the Corporation's books, of such shareholder and (ii) the class and number of
shares of voting stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such
shareholder.  At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by
the Board of Directors for election as a director shall furnish to the
Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a
shareholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.  In the event
that a person is validly designated as a nominee to the Board of Directors in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section and shall thereafter
become unable or unwilling to stand for election to the Board of Directors, the
Board of Directors or the shareholder who proposed such nominee, as the case
may be, may designate a substitute nominee.

         Other than directors chosen pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of
Article III, no person shall be eligible to serve as a director of the
Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this Section.

         The presiding officer of the meeting of shareholders shall, if the
facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not
made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws, and if he
should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective
nomination shall be disregarded.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a
shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above, the provisions
of this Section 13 shall be effective only with respect to annual meetings of
shareholders held after December 31, 1995.  (Section added by Amendment on
March 17, 1995.)

         or repealable.

         Unless the resolution designating a particular committee, the Articles
of Incorporation or these bylaws expressly so provide, no committee of the
Board of Directors shall have the authority to authorize a distribution (as
such term is defined in the TBCA) or to authorize the issuance of shares of the
Corporation.

         Section 2.  Procedure; Meetings; Quorum.  Any committee designated

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
                         OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

         Section 1.  Right to Indemnification.  Subject to the limitations and
conditions as provided in this Article VI, each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), or
any appeal in such a proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead
to such a proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom
he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer,
proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign
or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the
Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the TBCA, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior
to such amendment) against judgments, 





                                      -17-
<PAGE>   19

penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, and
indemnification under this Article VI shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to
indemnity hereunder.  The rights granted pursuant to this Article VI shall be
deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this
Article VI shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with
respect to actions taken or proceedings arising prior to any such amendment,
modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification
provided in this Article VI could involve indemnification for negligence or
under theories of strict liability.

         Section 2.  Advance Payment.  The right to indemnification conferred
in this Article VI shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the
Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred by a person of the type entitled
to be indemnified under Section 1 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 any determination as to the person's
ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of
such expenses incurred by any such person in advance of the final disposition
of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of a
written affirmation by such director or officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
under this Article VI and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such
person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this
Article VI or otherwise.

         Section 3.  Indemnification of Employees and Agents.  The Corporation,
by adoption of a resolution of the Board of Directors, may indemnify and
advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Corporation to the same extent
and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance
expenses to directors and officers under this Article VI; and, the Corporation
may indemnify and advance expenses to persons who are not or were not
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation but who are or were
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner,
venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole
proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or
arising out of his status as such a person to the same extent that it may
indemnify and advance expenses to directors under this Article VI.

         Section 4.  Appearance as a Witness.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article VI, the Corporation may pay or reimburse expenses
incurred by a director or officer in connection with his or her appearance as a
witness or other participation in a proceeding at a time when he or she is not
a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.





                                      -18-
<PAGE>   20

         Section 5.  Nonexclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification
and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall
not be exclusive of any other right which a director or officer or other person
indemnified pursuant to Section 3 of this Article VI may have or hereafter
acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation or these bylaws, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

         Section 6.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was
serving as 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, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture,
proprietorship, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under this
Article VI.

         Section 7.  Shareholder Notification.  To the extent required by law,
any indemnification of or advance of expenses to a director or officer in
accordance with this Article VI shall be reported in writing to the
shareholders with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next
shareholders' meeting or with or before the next submission to shareholders of
a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the 12-month
period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advance.

         Section 8.  Savings Clause.  If this Article VI or any portion hereof
shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director,
officer or any other person indemnified pursuant to this Article VI as to
costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent
permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been
invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 CAPITAL STOCK

         Section 1.  Certificates of Stock.  The certificates for shares of the
capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with
that required by law and the Articles of Incorporation, as shall be approved by
the Board of Directors.  The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a
Vice President (if any) shall cause to be issued to each shareholder one or
more certificates, which shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any),
President or a Vice President (if any) and the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary (if any) or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (if any)
certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation





                                      -19-
<PAGE>   21

shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares)
owned by such shareholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or
all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile.  If the Board of
Directors shall have provided for a seal, such certificates shall bear such
seal or a facsimile thereof.  The stock record books and the blank stock
certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such
transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to
time by resolution determine.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar
who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have
been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be
such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by
the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless 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 stock certificates shall be consecutively
numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are 
issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares.

         Each certificate shall conspicuously bear any legend required pursuant
to Article 2.19 or Article 2.22 of the TBCA, as well as any other legend
required by law.

         Section 2.  Transfer of Shares.  The shares of stock of the
Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the
holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal
representatives, upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like
number of shares (or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of this
Article VII, if applicable).  Upon such surrender to the Corporation or a
transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer (or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Article
VII, if applicable) and of compliance with any transfer restrictions applicable
thereto contained in an agreement to which the Corporation is a party or of
which the Corporation has knowledge by reason of legend with respect thereto
placed on any such surrendered stock certificate, it shall be the duty of the
Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel
the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

         Section 3.  Ownership of Shares.  Unless otherwise provided in the
TBCA, and subject to the provisions of Chapter 8 - Investment Securities of the
Texas Business & Commerce Code:

                 (i)      the Corporation may regard the person in whose name
any shares issued by the Corporation are registered in the share transfer
records of the Corporation at any particular time (including, without
limitation, as of a record date fixed pursuant to Article 2.26B or 2.26C of the
TBCA) as the owner of those shares at that time for purposes of voting those
shares, receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof,
transferring those shares, exercising rights of dissent with respect to those
shares, exercising or waiving any preemptive right with respect to those
shares, entering into agreements with respect to those shares in accordance
with Article 2.22 or 2.30 of the TBCA, or giving proxies with respect to those
shares; and





                                      -20-
<PAGE>   22

                 (ii)     neither the Corporation nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for regarding that person as
the owner of those shares at that time for those purposes, regardless of
whether that person does not possess a certificate for those shares.

         Section 4.  Regulations Regarding Certificates.  The Board of
Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and
regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issuance, transfer and
registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of
the Corporation.

         Section 5.  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates.  The
Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of
stock may be issued in place of a certificate that is alleged to have been
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated; and may, in its discretion, require the
owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with
sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and
registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the
issuance of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

         before his Benefit Commencement Date, the Committee shall inform the
         Distributee of his Direct Rollover right pursuant to this Section.  A

         notice, affirmatively elects either a distribution or a Direct
         Rollover or a combination thereof."

         5.  The following sentence shall be added to the end Section 11.01(d)
