Nothing herein contained shall create liability in the events described above or prevent the authorization, ratification, or approval of such transactions or contracts in any other manner permitted by law. 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 2. Liability of Directors in Certain Cases.
A director shall not be liable for his acts as such if he is excused from liability under Section B, Section C, Section D, Section E and Section F of Article 2.41 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, and, in addition, to the, fullest extent permitted by the Act, each officer, director, and member of any executive committee shall, in the discharge of any duty imposed or power conferred upon him by the corporation, be fully protected from liability to the corporation or other-wise if, in the exercise of ordinary care, he acted in good faith in reliance upon the books of account or reports made to the corporation by any of its officers, directors; agents, or by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by such committee, or in reliance upon other records of the corporation.
Section 3. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the corporation shall indemnify each present and future director and officer, his heirs, executors, and administrators, against expenses and liabilities incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of this corporation, or, at its request, of any other corporation of which it is a stockholder or creditor and from which he is not entitled to be indemnified (whether or not he continues to be such officer or director at the time of incurring such expense), such expenses to include, but not to be limited to, court costs and attorneys' fees, and the cost of reasonable settlement (other than amounts paid to the corporation itself). The corporation shall not, however, indemnify such director or officer with respect to matters as to which he shall admit that the claim made against him is just or as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for his own knowing or intentional misconduct; and in the event of a settlement, such indemnification shall be provided in connection with such matters covered by the settlement as to which the corporation is advised by its counsel that the person to be indemnified did not commit such a breach of duty.

The provisions of this Article may be specifically enforced in any Court of competent jurisdiction inasmuch as the shares of this corporation are unique.

"BY AGREEMENT AMONG THE CORPORATION AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN PLACED UPON THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OR REGISTERED OFFICE, A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT."
