Exhibit 3.2
ARTICLE I - MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
If a special meeting of the shareholders has been called, the Company shall cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, in accordance with these bylaws, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the special meeting pursuant to the notice of a special meeting. Nothing contained in this Section
1.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board may be held.

Exhibit 3.2
local time, on the 10th day following the day on which Official Notice of the date of the annual meeting was first given by the Company. In no event will the adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of any annual meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no Official Notice naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least 10 days before the last day that a shareholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 1.4(i)(b) will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which such Official Notice is first given. “Official Notice” means disclosure in a press release or by notice in writing or electronic transmission disseminated by or at the direction of the Company to all shareholders entitled to notice of shareholder meetings.

commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice. A shareholder’s

notice to the Secretary must comply with the applicable notice requirements of Section 1.4(a)(iii).
8
Exhibit 3.2
Securities and Exchange Commission, as such address may be updated by any subsequent report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other public announcement by the Company.
1.4 will be deemed to be satisfied by a shareholder if (1) such shareholder has submitted a proposal to the Company in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; and (2) such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for the meeting of shareholders. Subject to Rule 14a-8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be construed to permit any shareholder, or give any shareholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of a director or any other business proposal.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, notice of a shareholder meeting regarding a “fundamental business transaction” (as defined in Section 1.002 of the TBOC) must be given to each shareholder of the Company not later than 21 days prior to such meeting, regardless of whether the shareholder is entitled to vote on the matter, in accordance with of the TBOC.
If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in accordance with Section 1.7 of these bylaws, until a quorum is present or represented.
9
Exhibit 3.2
10
Exhibit 3.2
date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 6.101 of the TBOC and Section 1.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to the number of votes per share for each share of capital stock held by such shareholder as of the applicable record date which has voting power upon the matter in question as set forth in the certificate of formation. Voting at meetings of shareholders need not be by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by law, need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting. If authorized by the Board, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder or proxy holder.
Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of formation or these bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of formation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of formation or these bylaws.
No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Company in the manner required by Sections 6.201 and 6.202 of the TBOC within 60 days of the first date on which a written consent is so delivered to the Company. Any person executing a consent may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise,
11
Exhibit 3.2
that such a consent will be effective at a future time (including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than 60 days after such instruction is given or such provision is made, if evidence of such instruction or provision is provided to the Company. Unless otherwise provided, any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective.
An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a shareholder or proxy holder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a shareholder or proxy holder, shall be deemed to be written and signed for purposes of this Section 1.10, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Company can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the shareholder or proxy holder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the shareholder or proxy holder and (ii) the date on which such shareholder or proxy holder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission.
A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered to the Company upon the earliest of (i) when the consent enters an information processing system, if any, designated by the Company for receiving consents, so long as the electronic transmission is in a form capable of being processed by that system and the Company is able to retrieve that electronic transmission; (ii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Company’s principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded; (iii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Company’s registered office in the State of Texas by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (iv) when delivered in such other manner, if any, provided by resolution of the Board. A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered under this Section 1.10 even if no person is aware of its receipt. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgement from an information processing system establishes that a consent given by electronic transmission was received but, by itself, does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received.
In the event that the Board shall have instructed the officers of the Company to solicit the vote or written consent of the shareholders of the Company, an electronic transmission of a shareholder written consent given pursuant to such solicitation, to be effective, must be delivered by electronic mail or facsimile telecommunications to the Secretary or the President of the Company or to a person designated by the Company for receiving such consent, or delivered to an information processing system designated by the Company for receiving such consent.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Company as provided in Sections 6.201 or 6.202 of the TBOC. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the TBOC, if such action had been voted on by shareholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning any vote of shareholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Sections 6.201 or 6.202 of the TBOC.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1.4 concerning advance notice of shareholder business or the nomination or election of directors shall not apply to any action by shareholder written consent.
If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall
12
Exhibit 3.2
apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.101 of the TBOC and this Section 1.11 at the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Company may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by law, 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 Company in accordance with applicable law. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
In order that the Company may determine the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
ARTICLE II - DIRECTORS
13
Exhibit 3.2
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of formation or these bylaws:
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the Company should have no directors in office, then any officer or any shareholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a shareholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a shareholder, may call a special meeting of shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of formation or these bylaws.
A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Except as otherwise provided by the TBOC, during a period between two successive annual meetings of shareholders, the board of directors may not fill more than two vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors.
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of formation or these bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board or any subcommittee, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any such committee or subcommittee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
14
Exhibit 3.2
Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be:
If the notice is delivered personally by hand, by courier, or by telephone, or given by means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered, sent or otherwise directed to each director, as applicable, at least 24 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the director. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Company’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of formation or these bylaws.
If the certificate of formation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.
No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director’s term of office.
15
Exhibit 3.2
ARTICLE III - COMMITTEES
with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee or subcommittee and its members for the Board and its members. However:
16
Exhibit 3.2
Any provision in the certificate of formation providing that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter shall apply to voting in any committee or subcommittee, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of formation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE IV - OFFICERS
Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice of resignation, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any contract to which the officer is a party.
17
Exhibit 3.2
ARTICLE V - INDEMNIFICATION
5.2 of these bylaws, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Board shall have the power to delegate to any person or persons the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified.
18
Exhibit 3.2
19
Exhibit 3.2
ARTICLE VI - STOCK
20
Exhibit 3.2
The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Company available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.
ARTICLE VII - MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given in the manner set forth in the TBOC.
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the TBOC, the certificate of formation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting unless the person participates in or attends the meeting solely to object to the transaction of business at the meeting on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of formation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE VIII - GENERAL MATTERS
21
Exhibit 3.2
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Texas Business Court in the Eleventh Division of the Texas Business Court (or, if the Texas Business Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division or the state district court of Harris County, Texas or another state court in Texas, provided, however, and for purposes of clarity, any suit, action or other proceeding shall only be brought before a state court in Harris County, Texas, to the extent and only to the extent that the Texas Business Court and the Federal Court do not have jurisdiction over the same) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, shareholder, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC or the certificate of formation or these bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), (d) any action asserting an “internal entity claim” (as defined in Section 2.115 of the TBOC) or (e) any other action or proceeding in which the Texas Business Court has jurisdiction, except for, as to each of (a) through (e) above, any claim as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within 10 days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than such court or for which such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained in this first paragraph of Section 8.5 shall apply to any action brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or the 1934 Act or any successor thereto.
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the 1933 Act.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 8.5.
UNLESS THE COMPANY CONSENTS IN WRITING TO A JURY TRIAL, THE COMPANY AND EACH SHAREHOLDER, DIRECTOR, AND OFFICER OF THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT THE COMPANY OR SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY “INTERNAL ENTITY CLAIM” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.115 OF THE TBOC, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OTHER LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SECTION 8.5 OF THIS ARTICLE EIGHT AND EACH SHAREHOLDER AGREES THAT SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S HOLDING OR ACQUISITION OF SHARES OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPTIONS OR RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE SHARES OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF THESE BYLAWS
22
Exhibit 3.2
CONSTITUTES SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S INTENTIONAL AND KNOWING WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS.
ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENTS
These bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the shareholders entitled to vote. However, the Company may, in its certificate of formation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the shareholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
A bylaw amendment adopted by shareholders which specifies the votes that shall be necessary for the election of directors shall not be further amended or repealed by the Board.
23
