(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Such statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
regulations for reporting interim financial information. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
Balance sheet information as of March 31, 1999 has been derived from the 1999
annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in June 1999. Certain reclassifications have been made to
fiscal 1999 amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the three months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, the basic weighted average shares outstanding were
15,083,396 and 13,051,965. Diluted earnings per share reflect net income divided
by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive stock options
outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive stock options outstanding were
15,377,568 and 13,493,581.
The consolidated statements of cash flows provide information about the
Company's sources and uses of cash and exclude the effects of non-cash
transactions. Significant non-cash transactions during the three months ended
June 30,1999 include the issuance of common stock and the issuance or assumption
of debt in connection with the acquisition of certain printing businesses (see
Note 3. Acquisitions) and an accrual totaling $12,097 related to the purchase of
printing presses. Additionally, the Company issued term equipment notes of
$9,032 (see Note 2. Long-Term Debt) during the three months ended June 30, 1999
to satisfy certain accrued liabilities as of March 31, 1999 related to the
purchase of printing presses. The following is a summary of total cash paid for
interest and income taxes (net of refunds).

========== =========
The Company's primary revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement")
was obtained from a syndicate of commercial banks and provides for a maximum
borrowing capacity of $200,000, of which $138,278 was outstanding at June 30,
1999. The Credit Agreement will mature July 31, 2001, at which time all amounts
outstanding thereunder will be due. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit
Agreement are unsecured and accrue interest at a variable rate (a weighted
average of 5.70% on June 30, 1999). In addition, the Company maintains an
auxiliary revolving credit facility (the "Auxiliary Facility") with a commercial
bank which provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $10,000, of which the
maximum amount was outstanding at June 30, 1999. The interest rate applicable to
all borrowings under the Auxiliary Facility at June 30, 1999 was 5.72%.
The Company's term equipment notes primarily consist of notes payable
pursuant to a printing press purchasing and financing agreement with a major
manufacturer. As of June 30, 1999, the Company was obligated on term notes
related to such agreement totaling $27,678. These term notes are secured by the
purchased presses and provide for fixed monthly principal and interest payments
over ten years. The weighted average interest rate on such notes at June 30,
1999 was 7.07%.
3. ACQUISITIONS
The Company completed the following acquisitions during the three months
ended June 30, 1999:

OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION. READERS ARE
CAUTIONED THAT SUCH INFORMATION INVOLVES RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING
THOSE CREATED BY GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS, COMPETITION AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT
EVENTS MAY OCCUR WHICH LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE
ITS OPERATING RESULTS OR EXECUTE ITS PRIMARY GROWTH STRATEGY OF ACQUIRING
ADDITIONAL PRINTING BUSINESSES. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE
ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE REASONABLE, ANY OF THE
ASSUMPTIONS COULD BE INACCURATE, AND THERE CAN THEREFORE BE NO ASSURANCE THAT
THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED HEREIN WILL PROVE TO BE ACCURATE. THE
INCLUSION OF SUCH INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS A REPRESENTATION BY THE
COMPANY OR ANY OTHER PERSON THAT THE OBJECTIVES AND PLANS OF THE COMPANY WILL BE
ACHIEVED.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
COMPANY SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND RELATED NOTES AND OTHER DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY INCLUDED
IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31,
1999 AND OTHER REPORTS FILED BY THE COMPANY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION. THE RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 ARE NOT
NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS TO BE EXPECTED FOR THE ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR
ENDING MARCH 31, 2000.
GENERAL
The Company is a leading consolidator in the highly fragmented commercial
printing industry and is recognized as one of the fastest-growing commercial
printing companies in the United States. The Company is headquartered in
Houston, Texas and has locally managed printing operations in 25 states as of
June 30, 1999. The Company's printing businesses provide a full range of
traditional printing services, complemented at certain locations by a variety of
digital media and fulfillment services.
PRINTING SERVICES - The majority of the Company's sales are derived from
traditional printing services, which include electronic prepress, printing,
finishing, storage and delivery of printed materials and other products
requested by its customers and produced to their specifications. Examples of
such documents include high-quality multicolor product and capability brochures,
shareholder communications, catalogs, reference materials, training manuals and
direct mail pieces. The Company has continually invested in the latest
electronic prepress, press and postpress technology to increase capacity and
operating efficiencies at its printing businesses and expand the types of
printing-related services offered to its customers.
DIGITAL/ELECTRONIC MEDIA AND FULFILLMENT SERVICES - Because the Company's
printing businesses operate in a digital and electronic media environment, the
Company is able to help customers maximize the use of their digital information.
Many of the Company's printing businesses capitalize on their expertise in
digital processes to offer a wide range of capabilities, including digital data
asset management (such as maintaining, repurposing and archiving digital media),
CD-ROM production and online ordering system and Web page design and
development. The Company's printing businesses also serve their customers by
providing a broad array of fulfillment services, whereby they assemble, package,
store and distribute promotional, educational or training documents on behalf of
their customers. Many corporations utilize these fulfillment services to manage
their inventory of printed products and various assembly materials (such as
binders and product samples) and provide "just-in-time" assembly and delivery of
customized materials to operating locations or other end-users. Orders for
fulfillment services are frequently received from customers via the Internet or
through order-entry and inventory management systems maintained by the Company.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company's printing businesses serve a diverse and growing base of
national and locally-based customers in a broad cross section of industries.
Because the printing industry is service-oriented, the Company's primary
marketing focus is on responding rapidly to customer requirements and producing
high quality printed materials at competitive prices. The majority of the
Company's print jobs consist of individual orders for custom designed marketing
materials which are generated by commissioned sales personnel and, to a lesser
extent, through orders received via the Internet or pursuant to long-term
contracts. As a result, continued engagement of the Company by its customers for
successive jobs is primarily dependent upon, among other things, the customer's
satisfaction with the services provided. As such, the Company is unable to
predict, for more than a few weeks in advance, the number, size and
profitability of print jobs it expects to produce.
6
<PAGE>
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's strategy is to generate growth in sales and profits through
an aggressive acquisition program, coupled with internal growth and operational
improvements at its existing businesses. The Company provides its acquired
businesses management expertise, greater purchasing power, access to technology
and capital and a commitment to training through a unique, comprehensive
management development program. As a result, operating margins and efficiencies
of newly acquired businesses, which may be lower than those being achieved by
the Company's other businesses, typically improve as the Company's operating
strategies and strengths are fully implemented.

Acquisitions in fiscal 1999 and 2000 are the primary causes of the
absolute increases in revenues and expenses since June 30, 1998. Each of the
Company's acquisitions in fiscal 1999 and 2000 were accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the Company's consolidated income
statements reflect revenues and expenses of acquired businesses only for
post-acquisition periods.
The following table sets forth the Company's fiscal 1999 and 2000
acquisitions (collectively the "1999/2000 Acquired Businesses") and indicates

For more information regarding the fiscal 1999 acquisitions, refer to
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. For more
information regarding the fiscal 2000 acquisitions, refer to the accompanying
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included elsewhere herein.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
Sales increased 71% to $145.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999, from $85.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
incremental revenue contribution of the 1999/2000 Acquired Businesses
substantially accounted for this increase.
Gross profit increased 69% to $45.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, from $27.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to the 1999/2000 Acquired Businesses. Gross profit as a percentage
of sales decreased to 31.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from 31.8%
in the corresponding period of the prior year, because the combined operating
margins of the 1999/2000 Acquired Businesses, which contributed a significant
portion of the Company's total sales, were lower than the Company's consolidated
operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998. As discussed above,
the Company expects that gross profit margins at recently acquired businesses
will be lower than the Company's historical margins, then likely improve as the
full benefit of the Company's operating strengths and strategies takes effect.
Selling expenses increased 70% to $14.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, from $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to the increased sales levels noted above. Selling expenses as a
percentage of sales remained constant at 9.7%.
General and administrative expenses increased 68% to $11.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $6.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. This increase is due to the addition of the 1999/2000 Acquired
Businesses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in headquarters staffing and
related costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 7.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 7.8%
in the corresponding period of the prior year, because the previously mentioned
increase in sales was greater than the increase in the amount of overhead
necessary to support such additional sales.
Interest expense increased to $2.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999, from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to a
net increase in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility used to
finance the purchase of the 1999/2000 Acquired Businesses and the addition of
term equipment notes related to the purchase of printing presses.
Effective income tax rates reflect an increase to 40% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, from 39% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due
primarily to the Company's expansion into states with proportionately higher
income tax rates and the effect of nondeductible goodwill incurred in connection
with certain acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary cash uses are for acquisitions, capital expenditures
and payments on long-term debt incurred to finance certain equipment purchases
or assumed in connection with certain acquisitions. Cash utilized to complete
acquisitions totaled $15.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. Cash
utilized for capital expenditures, which relate primarily to the purchase of new
electronic prepress and bindery equipment, was $3.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1999. Principal payments on long-term debt totaled $1.1 million
in the three months ended June 30, 1999. In total, cash requirements for
acquisitions, capital expenditures and debt service was $20.1 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1999.
8
<PAGE>
The Company financed its capital requirements through internally generated
funds and a printing press purchasing and financing agreement (see below). Cash
flow generated from operations (net income plus depreciation, amortization and
deferred tax provision) was $18.2 million in the three months ended June 30,
1999. Debt incurred directly to finance equipment purchases was $9.0 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The Company's primary revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement")
was obtained from a syndicate of commercial banks and provides for a maximum
borrowing capacity of $200,000, of which $138,278 was outstanding at June 30,
1999. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are unsecured and accrue
interest, at the Company's option, at (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) plus .50% to 1.50% based upon the Company's Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA
ratio as defined, redetermined quarterly, or (2) an alternate base rate based
upon the agent bank's prime lending rate or Federal Funds effective rate. The
Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee on available but unused
amounts ranging from .10% to .35% per annum. The Credit Agreement will mature
July 31, 2001, at which time all amounts outstanding thereunder are due.
Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were subject to a weighted
average interest rate of 5.70% on June 30, 1999. In addition, the Company
maintains an auxiliary revolving credit facility (the "Auxiliary Facility") with
a commercial bank which provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $10,000, of
which the maximum amount was outstanding at June 30, 1999. The interest rate
applicable to all borrowings under the Auxiliary Facility at June 30, 1999 was
5.72%.
The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and must meet
certain financial tests pursuant to and as defined in the Credit Agreement. The
Company believes that these restrictions do not adversely affect its acquisition
or operating strategies, and that it was in compliance with such financial tests
and other covenants at June 30, 1999.
The Company has agreements with certain printing press manufacturers
(collectively, the "Press Purchase Agreements"), pursuant to which the Company
receives certain volume purchase incentives and long-term financing options with
respect to the purchase of printing presses. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
was obligated on term notes related to the Press Purchase Agreements totaling
$27.7 million. These term notes are secured by the purchased presses and provide
for fixed monthly principal and interest payments over ten years. The weighted
average interest rate on such notes at June 30, 1999 was 7.07%. The Company is
not subject to any significant financial covenants or restrictions in connection
with these obligations. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had accepted delivery
of additional printing presses for a total purchase price of $14.1 million,
which amount is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and is expected to be financed under terms of the Press
Purchase Agreements.
The Company expects to make additional equipment capital expenditures in
fiscal 2000 using cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit
Agreement and/or the Press Purchase Agreements.
Pursuant to earnout agreements entered into in connection with certain
acquisitions, as of June 30, 1999, the Company was contingently obligated at
certain times and under certain circumstances through 2005 to issue up to
147,400 shares of its common stock and to make additional cash payments of up to
$16.7 million for all periods in the aggregate.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company acquired five
printing businesses. To complete these acquisitions, in the aggregate, the
Company paid cash of $10.0 million, issued 855,646 shares of its common stock,
and discharged debt of the acquired businesses totaling $5.3 million. As of
August 9, 1999 the Company completed three additional acquisitions and had
executed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire one other printing business.
The Company intends to continue to actively pursue acquisition
opportunities. To finance its acquisitions, the Company intends to utilize cash
flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company may
also issue shares of its authorized common stock from time-to-time in connection
with its acquisitions. There can be no asssurance that the Company will be able
to acquire additional businesses on acceptable terms in the future. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish, maintain
or increase the profitability of any acquired business.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue results from the historical use in computer software
programs of a two-digit abbreviation in date fields to represent the year.
Certain computer programs, including programs imbedded in various equipment, may
fail to properly function when confronted with dates which contain the two-digit
year "00". These processing errors have the potential to cause system failures
or disrupt normal operations.
The Company has reviewed and is continuing to review its business risks
associated with the Year 2000 issue. It has established a Year 2000 Readiness
Program and a Year 2000 Readiness Team with the responsibility for its
execution. The Year 2000 Readiness Team initially developed a schedule for
evaluating the Company's information technology assets and conducting risk
reviews of non-information technology assets and operational practices.
The evaluation of the Company's information technology assets, including
its management information systems and equipment used in its printing
operations, is substantially complete with certain necessary upgrades,
conversions or replacements having been made or currently in process. The
Company is now proceeding with the testing and validation phase of its Year 2000
Readiness Program with respect to its information technology assets. The
targeted completion date for this phase is September 1999.
Although no assurances can be given, the Company does not believe it will
suffer any material disruptions to its operations as a result of the impact of
the Year 2000 issue on its information technology assets. Because the majority
of its management information systems operate on broadly available hardware
platforms and employ software specifically designed for the printing industry
and perpetually supported by its developers, the Company has not encountered any
significant difficulty in completing the portions of its Year 2000 Readiness
Program pertaining to its information technology assets, nor has it had to
accelerate the replacement or upgrade of, or incur costs materially in excess of
its recurring investment in, its management information systems.
The Company's Year 2000 Readiness Team is in the process of evaluating the
Company's exposure to business disruptions as a result of the impact of the Year
2000 issue on its non-information technology assets, operational policies, and
major suppliers and customers. The Company expects to complete this phase of its
Year 2000 Readiness Program by September 1999.
Like many manufacturing companies, the Company's operations depend upon
the operation of many other businesses, the disruption of any one or even a
number of which as a result of the Year 2000 issue would not have a material
effect on the business of the Company. However, in a "worst case" Year 2000
scenario, a significant number of such businesses could suffer disruptions as a
result of the Year 2000 issue and the Company's operations could be adversely
affected. In the case of a systemic failure, such as prolonged
telecommunications or electrical failures, or a general disruption in United
States or global business activities that could result in a significant economic
downturn, the primary business risks of the Company would include, but not be
limited to, loss of customers or orders, increased operating costs, inability to
obtain supplies and inventory on a timely basis, disruptions in production
shipments or other business interruptions of a material nature, any of which
could have a material, adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition. A prolonged industry-wide decline in
printing orders as affected businesses focus on operational requirements more
essential to their survival than printing needs would have a significant adverse
effect on the Company. In addition, although the Company is not aware of any
contractual relationship it has which exposes the Company to any potentially
material liability in the event the Company suffers a business disruption as a
result of the Year 2000 issue, it is possible that claims of mismanagement,
misrepresentation or breach of contract could nevertheless be made against the
Company.
There are many suppliers of paper, ink and other materials used in
printing operations. Thus, the Company believes that it is not materially
dependent on any one supplier. The Company's Year 2000 Readiness Team has orally
communicated with, and in some cases received written communications from, many
of the Company's more significant suppliers regarding such supplier's Year 2000
readiness and is evaluating the need for written confirmation, solicitation or
other action with respect to such information. However, based on communications
made or received to date, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain
materials necessary to continue its operations without significant disruption
due to Year 2000 issues.
10
<PAGE>
The Company has a large and diversified customer base comprised of
thousands of customers in locations throughout the United States and is not
dependent on any one customer or group of customers for its revenues. As such,
the Company does not anticipate that the demand for its commercial printing
services would be materially adversely affected as a result of Year 2000 issues
unless such issues have a widespread, catastrophic effect on its customer base.
The primary thrust of the Company's Year 2000 Readiness Program with
respect to minimizing business disruptions as a result of the impact of the Year
2000 issue on its non-information technology assets and operational policies,
all major suppliers and its customers, including with respect to the "worst
case" scenario described above, will be the development of contingency plans, to
the extent feasible. Because of its many locations, if certain of its printing
facilities were to be adversely affected, the Company could likely use other
operable printing facilities. Accordingly, the Company expects that its primary
contingency plans will focus on the re-distribution of customer projects from
inoperable to operable facilities in order to mitigate, to the extent possible,
the effect of any business disruption. The Company expects to develop these
contingency plans after completion of the evaluation phase currently in process.
As part of its ongoing review of the Year 2000 issue, the Company
evaluates and addresses Year 2000 issues for its planned acquisitions and
develops appropriate remedial action and a timetable for such action following
completion of such acquisitions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
None.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk generally means the risk that losses may occur in the value of
certain financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company does not hold
or utilize derivative financial instruments which could expose the Company to
significant market risk. However, the Company is exposed to market risk for
changes in interest rates related primarily to its long-term debt obligations.
As of June 30, 1999, there were no material changes in the Company's market risk
or the estimated fair value of its long-term debt obligations as reported in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

AS OF NOVEMBER 2, 1998
ARTICLE I
SHAREHOLDERS
SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of shareholders for the
purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of any other business to
come before such meeting shall be held on such date in each year and at such
time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice
of the meeting.
SECTION 2. PRESIDING OFFICER AND CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Chairman of the
Board of Directors shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and shall
automatically serve as Chairman of such meetings. In the absence of the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, or if the Directors neglect or fail to elect a
Chairman, then the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall preside at
the meetings of the shareholders and shall automatically be the Chairman of such
meeting, unless and until a different person is elected by a majority of the
shares entitled to vote at such meeting.
The Chairman of the meeting shall appoint at least two (2) persons to act
as inspectors of election at the meeting.
At the annual meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the annual meeting. To be
properly brought before the annual meeting of shareholders, business must be (i)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder of the Corporation who is a
shareholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this Section
2 of Article I, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies
with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2 of Article I. For
business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the
shareholder shall 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 2 of Article I.
SECTION 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any
purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by
the Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called
by the Chief Executive Officer at the request of the holders of not less than
one-tenth (1/10th) of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to
vote at the meeting.
SECTION 4. PLACE OF MEETING. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the State of Texas, as the place of meeting for
any annual or special meeting. If no
-1-
<PAGE>
designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the registered office of the
Corporation in the State of Texas.
SECTION 5. NOTICE OF MEETING. Written or printed notice stating the place,
day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days
before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the
direction of the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, or the officer or
persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at
such meeting. If mailed, 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 stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage
thereon prepaid. Waiver by a shareholder in writing of notice of a shareholders'
meeting, signed by him, whether before or after the time of such meeting, shall
be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by a shareholder, whether
in person or by proxy, at a shareholders' meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting of which he has had no notice.
SECTION 6. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS AND FIXING OF 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 shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of
shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a
stated period but not to exceed, in any case, fifty (50) days. If the stock
transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall
be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu
of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may, by resolution,
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 fifty (50) days and, in
case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date
on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is
to be taken. If the stock transfer books 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 payment of a
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 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 in this section, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the
determination has been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and
the stated period of closing has expired.
SECTION 7. VOTING LISTS. The officer or agent having charge of the stock
transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) 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 and the number of shares held by each,
which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept
on file at the registered office 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 opened at the time and place of the meeting and shall
be subject to the inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the
meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence as to
who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to
-2-
<PAGE>
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. QUORUM. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation
entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum
at a meeting of shareholders and the vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote and thus represented at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the shareholders' meeting, unless the vote of a
greater number is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these
By-Laws. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a
meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from
time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum
shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have
been transacted as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly
organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a
quorum.
SECTION 9. PROXIES. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in
the proxy. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be
irrevocable, and unless otherwise made irrevocable by law.
SECTION 10. VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share entitled to vote
shall be entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to vote at a
meeting of shareholders.
SECTION 11. CUMULATIVE VOTING. There shall be no cumulative voting
whatsoever permitted on any matter.
SECTION 12. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required to
be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be
taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of
the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.
ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. GENERAL POWERS. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed by its Board of Directors.
SECTION 2. NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS. The number of directors of
the Corporation shall be eleven (11) but the number of directors may be
increased or decreased (provided the decrease does not shorten the term of any
incumbent director) from time to time by amendment of these By-Laws or by
resolution of the Board of Directors, but shall never be less than one (1). Each
director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and
until his successor shall
-3-
<PAGE>
have been elected and qualified. Directors need not be residents of the State of
Texas, or shareholders of the Corporation.
SECTION 3. CHAIRMAN. A majority of the Directors shall elect from its
members a Chairman who shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors.
The Chairman shall hold this office until the next regular meeting of the
Directors or until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. In the

Chairman, then the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, if he is a member
of the Board of Directors, shall automatically serve as Chairman of the Board of
Directors.
SECTION 4. SECRETARY. The Secretary of the Board of Directors shall be the
Secretary of the Corporation, and the Secretary shall act as Secretary of the
Directors' meetings and record the minutes of all such meetings. If the
Secretary of the Corporation is not available, then the Chairman, or the Chief
Executive Officer, as the case may be, may appoint a person to serve as
Secretary of the meeting, and such person shall not be required to be a member
of the Board of Directors nor an officer of the Corporation.
SECTION 5. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be held at such place or places within or without the State of Texas, at
such hour and on such day as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of
Directors, without further notice of such meetings. The time or place of holding
regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be changed by the Chairman of the
Board or the Chief Executive Officer by giving written notice thereof as
provided in Section 7 of this Article II.
SECTION 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors
may be called by or at the request of the Chief Executive Officer or a majority
of the Directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of
the Board of Directors may fix any place, either within or without the State of
Texas, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors
called by them.
SECTION 7. NOTICE. Notice of any special meetings shall be given at least
two (2) days previously thereto by a written notice delivered personally, mailed
or sent by telecopy to each director at his business address, or by telegram. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United
States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be given by
telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the telegram is
delivered to the telegraph company. If notice be given by telecopy, such notice
shall be deemed to be delivered upon successful transmission of such notice,
confirmed by telephone. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The
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 because the meeting is not
lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
SECTION 8. QUORUM. A majority of the number of directors fixed by these
By-Laws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting
of the Board of Directors, but if
-4-
<PAGE>
less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
SECTION 9. MANNER OF ACTING. The act of the majority of the directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board
of Directors.
SECTION 10. VACANCIES. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may
be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors
though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. A director elected to fill
a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of is his predecessor in
office. A directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of
directors may be filled by the Board of Directors for term of office continuing
only until the next election of one or more directors by the shareholders;
PROVIDED THAT the Board of Directors may not fill more than two such
directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of
shareholders.
A vacancy shall be deemed to exist by reason of the death, resignation,
failure or refusal to act by the person elected, upon the failure of
shareholders to elect directors to fill the unexpired term of directors removed
in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws, or upon an increase in the
number of directors by amendment of these By-Laws.
SECTION 11. REMOVAL. The entire Board of Directors or any individual
director may be removed from office without assigning any cause, by a majority
vote of the shareholders at any meeting at which a quorum of shareholders is
present. In case the entire Board or any one (1) or more of the directors are so
removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting for the unexpired term
of the director or directors so removed. Failure to elect directors to fill the
unexpired term of the directors so removed shall be deemed to create a vacancy
or vacancies in the Board of Directors.
SECTION 12. COMPENSATION. By resolution of the Board of Directors, the
directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of
the Board of Directors, and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each
meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such
payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
SECTION 13. PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A director of the Corporation who is
present at a meeting of the Board of Directors in which action on any
Corporation matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action
taken 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 the Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof, or shall forward
such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation 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 14. INTEREST OF DIRECTORS IN CONTRACTS. Any contract or other
transaction between the Corporation and one (1) or more of its directors, or
between the Corporation and any firm of which one or more if its directors are
-5-
<PAGE>
members or employees, or in which they are interested, or between the
Corporation and any corporation or association of which one or more of its
directors are shareholders, members, directors, officers, or employees, or in
which they are interested, shall be valid for all purposes, notwithstanding the
presence of such director or directors at the meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, which acts upon, or in reference to, such contract or
transaction, and notwithstanding his or their participation in such action, if
the fact of such interest shall be disclosed or known to the Board of Directors
and the Board of Directors shall, nevertheless, authorize, approve and ratify
such contract or transaction by a vote of a majority of the directors present,
such interested director or directors to be counted in determining whether a
quorum is present, but not to be counted in calculating the majority of such
quorum necessary to carry such vote. This section shall not be construed to
invalidate any contract or other transaction which would otherwise be valid
under the common and statutory law applicable thereto.
SECTION 15. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, by resolution or
resolutions passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one
or more members of the Board of Directors to constitute one or more committees
of the Board, which shall in each case consist of such number of directors as
the Board of Director may determine. Each committee shall have and may exercise
such powers in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as
the Board of Directors may determine by resolution and specify in the respective
resolutions appointing them, subject to such restrictions as may be contained in
the Articles of Incorporation or that may be imposed by law. Such committee or
committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time
by resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. A majority of all the members
of any such committee may fix its rules of procedure, determine its actions and
fix the time and place, whether within or without the State of Texas, of its
meetings and specify what notice thereof, if any, shall be given, unless the
Board of Directors shall provide otherwise by resolution. The Board of Directors
shall have power to change the membership of any such committee at any time, to
fill vacancies therein and to disband any such committee, either with or without
cause, at any time. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings
and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.
SECTION 16. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

members of the executive committee may be paid their expenses, if any, for

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNITY; INSURANCE
SECTION 1. INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who at any time shall serve, or
shall have served, as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation,
or any person who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, administrator, employee, agent
-10-
<PAGE>
or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise (each such person referred to herein as an "Indemnitee"), shall be
entitled to indemnification as and to the fullest extent permitted by Article
2.02-1 of the TBCA. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those to be indemnified may be entitled
as a matter of law or under any agreement, other provision of these By-Laws,
vote of shareholders or directors, or other arrangement. The Corporation may
enter into indemnification agreements with its executive officers or directors
that contractually provide to them the benefits of the provisions of this
Article IV and include related provisions meant to facilitate the Indemnitees'
receipt of such benefits and such other indemnification protections as may be
deemed appropriate.
SECTION 2. ADVANCEMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. The rights of
Indemnitee provided under the preceding section shall include, but not be
limited to, the right to be indemnified and to have expenses advanced in all
proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA. In
the event that an Indemnitee is not wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in a proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to
any claim in such proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against
all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's
behalf relating to each claim. The termination of a claim in a proceeding by
dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result
as to such claim. In addition, to the extent an Indemnitee is, by reason of his
corporate status, a witness or otherwise participates in any proceeding at a
time when he is not named a defendant or respondent in the proceeding, he shall
be indemnified against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
on his behalf in connection therewith. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable
expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any
proceeding or claim, whether brought by the Corporation or otherwise, in advance
of any determination respecting entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this
Article IV within ten days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written
request from Indemnitee reasonably evidencing such expenses and requesting such
payment or payments from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of such proceeding or claim; provided that the Indemnitee affirms
his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under this Article IV and undertakes and agrees in writing that
he will reimburse and repay the Corporation for any expenses so advanced to the
extent that it shall ultimately be determined by a court, in a final
adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal, that Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses.
SECTION 3. DETERMINATION OF REQUEST. Upon written request to the
Corporation by an Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to these By-Laws, a
determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee's
entitlement thereto shall be made in accordance with Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control
shall have occurred, such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel
selected by Indemnitee, unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination
be made in accordance with Article 2.02-1F (1) or (2). The Corporation shall pay
any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred in
connection with any such determination. If a Change in Control shall have
occurred, Indemnitee shall be presumed (except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Article IV) to be entitled to indemnification under this Article IV upon
submission of a request to the Corporation for indemnification, and thereafter
the Corporation shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that
-11-
<PAGE>
presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. The
presumption shall be used by Independent Counsel, or such other person or
persons determining entitlement to indemnification, as a basis for a
determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation provides
information sufficient to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing
evidence or the investigation, review and analysis of Independent Counsel or
such other person or persons convinces him or them by clear and convincing
evidence that the presumption should not apply.
SECTION 4. EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. The termination of any
proceeding or of any claim in a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article) by itself adversely
affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that
Indemnitee's conduct was not in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee
reasonably believed in the case of conduct in Indemnitee's official capacity,
that was not in the best interests of the Corporation or, in all other cases,
that was not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful and Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been
found liable in respect of any claim only after Indemnitee shall have been so
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom.
SECTION 5. EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT OF ARTICLE. In the event that
Indemnitee, pursuant to this Article IV, seeks a judicial adjudication to
enforce Indemnitee's rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, rights
created under or pursuant to this Article IV, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against, any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
such judicial adjudication but only if Indemnitee prevails therein. If it shall
be determined in said judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to
receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses
sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial
adjudication shall be reasonably prorated in good faith by counsel for
Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control shall have
occurred, Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 5
regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately prevails in such judicial
adjudication.
SECTION 6. INSURANCE ARRANGEMENTS. The Corporation may procure or maintain
insurance or other similar arrangements, at its expense, to protect itself and
any Indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss asserted against or
incurred by such person, incurred by Indemnitee in such a capacity or arising
out of Indemnitee's status as such a person, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense or liability.
In considering the cost and availability of such insurance, the Corporation
(through the exercise of the business judgment of its directors and officers),
from time to time, may purchase insurance which provides for any and all of (i)
deductibles, (ii) limits on payments required to be made by the insurer or (iii)
coverage which may not be as comprehensive as that previously included in such
insurance purchased by the Corporation, if any. The purchase of insurance with
deductibles, limits on payments and coverage exclusions will be deemed to be in
the best interest of the Corporation but may not be in the best interest of
certain of the persons covered thereby. This Section 6 is authorized by Section
2.02-1(R) of the TBCA as in effect on the date hereof, and further is intended
to establish an arrangement of self-insurance pursuant to that section.
-12-
<PAGE>
SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Article IV
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible,
the provisions of this Article IV shall be construed so as to give effect to the
intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
SECTION 8. DEFINITIONS. The following terms are used herein as follows:
"Change in Control" means a change in control of the Corporation occurring
after the date of adoption of these By-Laws of a nature that would be required
to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in
response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), whether or
not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided,
however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if at any time after the date of adoption of these By-Laws (i) any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9), 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act), other than Joe R. Davis, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), of securities of the Corporation
representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
outstanding securities without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the
members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person
attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Corporation is a party to a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a
proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in
office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a
majority of the Board of Directors thereafter or (iii) during any 15-month
period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of
Directors (including for this purpose any new director whose election or
nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders was approved by a vote
of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors
at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board of Directors; notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of the initial public
offering of the Corporation's Common Stock.
"Corporate Status" means the status of a person who is or was a director,
officer, partner, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or of any
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation.
"Disinterested Director" means a director of the Corporation who is not a
named defendant or respondent to the proceeding or subject to a claim in respect
of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
"Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is
experienced in matters of corporation law and neither contemporaneously is, nor
in the five years theretofore has been, retained to represent: (a) the
Corporation or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, (b) any
other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder or (c) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Corporation representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's then outstanding voting securities.
-13-
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include
any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights to
indemnification under these By-Laws.
ARTICLE V
CERTIFICATES AND SHAREHOLDERS
SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES. Certificates in the form determined by the Board
of Directors shall be delivered representing all shares to which shareholders
are entitled. Certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered
in the books of the Corporation as they are issued. Each certificate shall state
on its face the holder's name, the number and class of shares, the par value of
shares or a statement that such shares are without par value, and such other
matters as may be required by law. It shall be signed by the Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary and such other officer or officers as the Board of
Directors shall designate, and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or
a facsimile thereof. If a certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or an
assistant transfer agent or registered by a registrar (either of which is other
than the Corporation or an employee of the Corporation), the signature of any
officer may be facsimile.
SECTION 2. ISSUANCE. Shares (both treasury and authorized but unissued)
may be issued for such consideration (not less than par value) and to such
persons as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Shares may
not be issued until the full amount of the consideration, fixed as provided by
law, has been paid.
SECTION 3. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a) The consideration for the issuance of shares shall consist of
any tangible or intangible benefit to the Corporation, including cash,
promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be
performed, or other securities of the Corporation.
(b) In the absence of fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the
Board of Directors as to the value of consideration received shall be
conclusive.
(c) When consideration, fixed as provided by law, has been paid, the
shares shall be deemed to have been issued and shall be considered fully
paid and nonassessable.
(d) The consideration received for shares shall be allocated by the
Board of Directors, in accordance with law, between stated capital and
capital surplus accounts.
SECTION 4. SUBSCRIPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided in the subscription
agreement, subscriptions for shares, whether made before or after organization
of the Corporation, shall be paid in full at such time or in such installments
and at such times as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Any call
made by the Board of Directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as
to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment on any

the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the Corporation.
-14-
<PAGE>
SECTION 5. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Corporation shall

if the registered owner of the certificate:

(b) Requests the issuance of a new certificate before the
Corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a
purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;
and
(c) Gives a bond in such form, and with such surety or sureties,

the Corporation (and its transfer agent and registrar, if any) against any
claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or
theft of the certificate; and
(d) Satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the
Corporation.
When a certificate has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and
the holder of record fails to notify the Corporation within a reasonable time
after he has notice of it, and the Corporation registers a transfer of the
shares represented by the certificate before receiving such notification, the
holder of record is precluded from making any claim against the Corporation for
the transfer or for a new certificate.
SECTION 6. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation shall register the
transfer of a new certificate for shares presented to it for transfer if:
(a) The certificate is properly endorsed by the registered owner or
by his duly authorized attorney; and
(b) The signature of such person has been guaranteed by a national
banking association or member of the New York Stock Exchange and
reasonable assurance is given that such endorsements are effective; and
(c) The Corporation has no notice of an adverse claim or has
discharged any duty to inquire into such a claim; and
(d) Any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been
complied with.
SECTION 7. REGISTERED OWNER. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of a certificate for shares, the Corporation may treat the registered
owner as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notices and
otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of a shareholder.
SECTION 8. PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. No shareholder or other person shall have
any pre-emptive right whatsoever.

Directors in the manner provided by law and need not be identical to the
principal business of the Corporation.
SECTION 2. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice whatever is

office address, as it appears on the books of the Corporation, and such notice
