Indemnification
by
the
Corporation.
The

shall
indemnify any person
who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named
defendant or
respondent in a proceeding
(as hereinafter defined) because the person (a) is
or was a
director
or
officer
of
the
corporation
or
(b)
while
a
director
or
officer
of
the
corporation, is or was serving at the

partner,
venturer,
proprietor,
trustee,
employee,
agent,

to
a

Business
Organizations
Code
or
other
applicable
law,
as
the
same
exists
or
may
hereafter be amended.
HUI-107483v2

8.02
Expenses;
Procedure.
Such
right
shall
be
a
contract
right
which
shall survive the
termination of any such person’s service as a
director or officer, shall
not
be
adversely
affected
by
any
amendment
of
this
article
with
respect
to
acts
or
omissions
occurring
or
alleged
to
occur
prior
to
any
such
amendment,
and
shall
include
the right to be paid by the corporation for all
expenses incurred in defending
any
such
proceeding
in
advance
of
its
final
disposition
to
the
maximum
extent
permitted under the
Texas Business
Organizations
Code or other applicable law,
as
the
same
exists
or
may
hereafter
be
amended.
If
a
claim
for
indemnification
or

not paid in full by the corporation within 90
days after a written claim has been
received by the corporation, the claimant may at
any time thereafter bring suit against
the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim,
and if successful
in
whole or in
part, the
claimant shall
be entitled to
be
paid also the expenses of
prosecuting such claim.
It
shall be a defense to any such
action
that such indemnification or advancement of costs
of defense are not permitted
under the
Texas Business Organizations Code or other
applicable law, but the burden
of
proving
such
defense
shall
be
on

corporation.

the
failure
of
the
corporation (including its Board of
Directors or any committee thereof, special legal
counsel, or shareholders) to have made
its determination prior to the commencement
of
such
action
that
indemnification
of,
or
advancement
of
costs
of
defense
to,
the
claimant
is
permissible
in
the
circumstances
nor
an
actual
determination
by
the
corporation (including
its Board of Directors or any committee thereof,
special legal
counsel, or shareholders)
that such indemnification or advancement is not
permissible
shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that such
indemnification or
advancement is not
permissible.
8.03
Additional
Indemnification.
The
corporation
may
additionally
indemnify any person covered by the
grant of mandatory indemnification contained
above
to
such
further
extent
as
is
permitted
by
law
and
may
indemnify
any
other
person to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
8.04
Definition

As
used
herein,
the
term
“proceeding”
means
