Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 23, 2018, A. H. Belo Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) providing for the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Texas (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation will be effected pursuant to the Plan of Merger. The Plan of Merger provides for the merger of the Company into A. H. Belo Texas, Inc. (“A. H. Belo Texas”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas. The adoption of the Plan of Merger and approval of the Reincorporation are subject to the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held on June 6, 2018.

The Reincorporation will not result in any material change in our business, assets or financial position or the location of our corporate headquarters or primary publishing operations. The persons who will serve as the directors and officers of A. H. Belo Texas will be the same persons serving in such capacities with the Company immediately before the merger. Upon the effective time of the merger (“Effective Time”):

•

The legal existence of the Company as a separate Delaware corporation will cease;

•

A. H. Belo Texas, as the surviving corporation, will succeed to the assets and assume the liabilities of the Company;

•

Each outstanding share of our Series A common stock will automatically be converted into one share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of A. H. Belo Texas (“A. H. Belo Texas Series A common stock”);

•

Each outstanding share of our Series B common stock will automatically be converted into one share of Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of A. H. Belo Texas (“A. H. Belo Texas Series B common stock”);

•

Each outstanding share of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock held in the treasury of the Company will automatically be converted into one share of A. H. Belo Texas Series A common stock or A. H. Belo Texas Series B common stock, as applicable;

•

Each share of A. H. Belo Texas outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist;

•

All of the Company’s employee benefit and incentive plans and arrangements will be assumed by A. H. Belo Texas upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in such plans and arrangements as before the Reincorporation;

•

Each outstanding option to purchase our Series A common stock or Series B common stock will automatically be converted into an option to purchase an identical number of shares of A. H. Belo Texas Series A common stock or A. H. Belo Texas Series B common stock, as applicable, at the same option price per share and upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in the applicable plan and related award agreement;

•

A. H. Belo Texas Series A common stock or A. H. Belo Texas Series B common stock, as applicable, will become issuable upon the vesting of restricted shares and awards of restricted stock units upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in the applicable plan and related award agreement; and

•

A. H. Belo Texas’ name will be changed to A. H. Belo Corporation.

The terms of the Reincorporation are described in more detail in the Plan of Merger, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference, and all descriptions of the Reincorporation are qualified by and subject to the more complete information therein.

After the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of our Series A common stock or Series B common stock will be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of A. H. Belo Texas Series A common stock or A. H. Belo Texas Series B common stock, as applicable, into which those shares are converted. The Reincorporation will not affect the validity of the currently outstanding stock certificates. Consequently, it will not be necessary for shareholders of the Company to exchange their existing stock certificates for stock certificates of A. H. Belo Texas.

The Reincorporation will become effective upon filing certificates of merger in Delaware and Texas, which filings are expected to be made as soon as practicable after shareholder adoption of the Plan of Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger, the merger may be abandoned by the Board or the A. H. Belo Texas board of directors, any time before the Effective Time (whether before or after shareholder approval). In addition, the Company and A. H. Belo Texas may amend the Plan of Merger at any time before the Effective Time (whether before or after shareholder approval), provided that after shareholder approval, no amendment may be made that by law requires further shareholder approval without obtaining such further approval.

After the Effective Time, the Certificate of Formation of A. H. Belo Texas, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference, and the Bylaws of A. H. Belo Texas, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated by reference, will govern the surviving corporation.

In the event shareholders adopt the Plan of Merger, neither the Certificate of Formation of A. H. Belo Texas nor the Bylaws of A. H. Belo Texas will provide for a classified board of directors. If the shareholders do not adopt the Plan of Merger, then the classification of directors of the Company will continue as provided in the Company’s Bylaws.

EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

3.1 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent Corporation or its stockholders, or the Surviving Corporation:

(a) Each issued and outstanding share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Parent Corporation (the “Parent Corporation Series A Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Series A Shares”).

(b) Each issued and outstanding share of Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Parent Corporation (the “Parent Corporation Series B Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Series B Shares”).

(c) Each Parent Corporation Series A Share and Parent Corporation Series B Share held in treasury of the Parent Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent Corporation, be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable Surviving Corporation Series A Share or Surviving Corporation Series B Share, as applicable.

(d) Each share of capital stock of New AHC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Surviving Corporation, be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall not be converted into shares or other securities of the Surviving Corporation or the right to receive cash or any other property or rights.

(e) At and after the Effective Time, each stock certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Parent Corporation Series A Shares or Parent Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable (a “Delaware Certificate”), shall be deemed and treated for all purposes to evidence ownership of, and to represent, the number of Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or Surviving Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, into which the Parent Corporation Series A Shares or Parent Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, represented by such Delaware Certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted pursuant to this Agreement. The registered holder of any Delaware Certificate outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, as such holder appears in the books and records of the Parent Corporation, or of the transfer

agent in respect of the Parent Corporation Series A Shares or the Parent Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, until such Delaware Certificate is surrendered for transfer or exchange, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividends or other distributions on, the Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or the Surviving Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, into which the Parent Corporation Series A Shares or the Parent Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, represented by any such Delaware Certificate were converted pursuant this Agreement.

If any such Texas Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Delaware Certificate surrendered for exchange is registered, such exchange shall be conditioned upon (i) the Delaware Certificate so surrendered being properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the person requesting such exchange either paying any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Texas Certificate in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Delaware Certificate surrendered, or establishing to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation, or the transfer agent in respect of Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or the Surviving Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(g) Where no Delaware Certificate has been issued in the name of a holder of Parent Corporation Series A Shares or Parent Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) shall be made in the shareholder records of the Surviving Corporation to evidence the issuance to such holder of an equal number of Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or Surviving Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable.

(c) The terms and conditions of any restricted stock award shall not be changed as a result of the Merger and shall continue to apply to the Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or the Surviving Corporation Series B Shares subject to the Equity Plans and any applicable award agreement. In addition, Surviving Corporation Series A Shares or the Surviving Corporation Series B Shares, as applicable, shall become issuable upon the settlement of awards of restricted stock units granted under the Equity Plans by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any such restricted stock unit, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in the applicable plan and any related award agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall assume each of the Parent Corporation’s other employee benefit plans and arrangements and the obligations of the Parent Corporation thereunder upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in such plans and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Corporation shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the treatment of the Equity Plans, options, restricted shares and awards of restricted stock units as set forth in this Section 3.2 in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Equity Plans, if applicable, and any contracts evidencing the options, restricted shares and awards of restricted stock units.

The holder of each share of Series B Stock shall have the right at any time, or from time to time, at such holder’s option, to convert such share into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Series A Stock on and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holder of any shares of Series B Stock to be converted shall present and surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares during usual business hours at any office or agency of the corporation maintained for the transfer of Series B Stock and shall deliver a written notice of the election of the holder to convert the shares represented by such certificate or any portion thereof specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Series A Stock issuable on such conversion shall be registered. If required by the corporation, any certificate for shares surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the corporation, duly executed by the holder of such shares or his duly authorized representative. Each conversion of shares of Series B Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the date (the “conversion date”) on which the certificate or certificates representing such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice and any required instruments of transfer shall have been received as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Series A Stock shall be issuable on such conversion shall be, for the purpose of receiving dividends and for all other corporate purposes whatsoever, deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Series A Stock represented thereby on the conversion date.

As promptly as practicable after the presentation and surrender for conversion, as herein provided, of any certificate for shares of Series B Stock, the corporation shall issue and deliver at such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder thereof, certificates for the number of shares of Series A Stock issuable upon such conversion. Subject to the provisions of paragraph F of this Section 2, in case any certificate for shares of Series B Stock shall be surrendered for conversion of only a part of the shares represented thereby, the corporation shall deliver at such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder thereof, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of

CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION OF A. H. BELO TEXAS, INC.

Series B Stock represented by such surrendered certificate that are not being converted. The issuance of certificates for shares of Series A Stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series B Stock by the registered holder thereof shall be made without charge to the converting holder for any tax imposed on the corporation in respect of the issue thereof. The corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable with respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares being converted, and the corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the corporation the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the corporation that such tax has been paid.

Upon any conversion of shares of Series B Stock into shares of Series A Stock pursuant hereto, no adjustment with respect to dividends shall be made; only those dividends shall be payable on the shares so converted as have been declared and are payable to holders of record of shares of Series B Stock on a date prior to the conversion date with respect to the shares so converted; and only those dividends shall be payable on shares of Series A Stock issued upon such conversion as have been declared and are payable to holders of record of shares of Series A Stock on or after such conversion date.

In case of any consolidation or merger of the corporation as a result of which the holders of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, other securities, or other property with respect to or in exchange for Series A Stock or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the corporation as an entirety, a holder of a share of Series B Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of cash, shares of stock, and other securities and properties receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by a holder of one share of Series A Stock and shall have no other conversion rights with regard to such share. The provisions of this subparagraph D.5 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.

Shares of the Series B Stock converted into Series A Stock shall be retired and shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series B Stock.

Such number of shares of Series A Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Stock and of shares of Series B Stock issuable upon exercise of options.

E.	Termination of Series B or Series C Stock

All outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall automatically, without any further act or deed on the part of the corporation or any other person, be converted into shares of Series A Stock on a share-for-share basis

if, as a result of the existence of the Series B Stock, the Series A Stock is excluded from trading on the New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market, and other national securities exchanges and is also excluded from quotation on any national quotation system then in use; or

at the option of the corporation:

(i)

at any time when the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series B Stock approve the conversion of all of the Series B Stock into Series A Stock; or

All outstanding shares of Series C Stock shall automatically, without any further act or deed on the part of the corporation or any other person, be converted into shares of Series A Stock on a share-for-share basis

if, as a result of the existence of the Series C Stock, the Series A Stock is excluded from trading on the New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market, and other national securities exchanges and is also excluded from quotation on any national quotation system then in use; or

(i)

at any time when the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series C Stock approve the conversion of all of the Series C Stock into Series A Stock; or

Upon any automatic conversion of Series B Stock or Series C Stock pursuant to this paragraph E of this Section 2, each certificate representing outstanding shares of Series B Stock or Series C Stock, as the case may be, shall thereafter be deemed to represent a like number of shares of Series A Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be.

If upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets available for distribution to holders of shares of Preferred Stock of all series shall be insufficient to pay such holders the full preferential amount to which they are entitled, then such assets shall be distributed ratably among the shares of all series of Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective preferential amounts (including unpaid cumulative dividends, if any) payable with respect thereto.

SECTION 3.

For the purposes of this Article Eleven:

A “person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, or other entity.

“Interested Shareholder” shall mean any person (other than the corporation or any Subsidiary and other than any one or a group of more than one Continuing Director) who or which:

is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than ten per cent of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock; or

is an Affiliate of the corporation and at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten per cent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock; or

is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to any shares of the Voting Stock which were at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question beneficially owned by any Interested Shareholder, if such assignment or succession shall have occurred in the course of a transaction or series of transactions not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.

For the purposes of determining whether a person is an Interested Shareholder pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Section 3 immediately above, the number of shares of Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed owned through application of paragraph 3 of this Section 3 below, but shall not include any other shares of Voting Stock which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

A person shall be a “beneficial owner” of any Voting Stock which:

such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates (as hereinafter defined) beneficially owns (which for purposes of this definition shall mean possession of the power to vote or dispose of, or to direct the voting or disposition of, such Voting Stock), directly or indirectly; or

such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has (a) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (b) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; or

is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Voting Stock.

“Affiliate” or “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation of which a majority of any class of equity securities is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation; provided, however, that for the purposes of the definition of Interested Shareholder set forth in paragraph 2 of this Section 3 the term “Subsidiary” shall mean only a corporation of which a majority of each class of equity securities is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation.

“Continuing Director” means any member of the Board of Directors of the corporation (the “Board”) who is unaffiliated with the Interested Shareholder and was a member of the Board prior to the time that the Interested Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder, and any successor of a Continuing Director who is unaffiliated with the Interested Shareholder and is recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Board. For the avoidance

of doubt, as of immediately following the merger of A. H. Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with and into the corporation (the “Effective Date”), each member of the Board of Directors who is unaffiliated with an Interested Shareholder as of the Effective Date (i.e., each of John A. Beckert, Louis E. Caldera, Ronald D. McCray, Tyree B. Miller, John P. Puerner and Nicole G. Small) shall be a Continuing Director with respect to such Interested Shareholder unless and until such member of the Board of Directors is no longer unaffiliated with such Interested Shareholder.

“Fair Market Value” means:

in the case of stock, the highest closing price during the 30-day period immediately preceding the date in question of a share of such stock on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange-Listed Stocks, or, if such stock is not quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or if such stock is not listed on such Exchange, on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on which such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share of such stock during the 30-day period preceding the date in question on any system then in use or, if no such quotations are available, the Fair Market Value on the date in question of a share of such stock as determined by the Board in good faith; and

in the case of property other than cash or stock, the Fair Market Value of such property on the date in question as determined by the Board in good faith.

In the event of any Business Combination in which the corporation survives, the phrase “consideration other than cash to be received” as used in subparagraphs 2.b and 2.c of Section 2 of this Article Eleven shall include the shares of Common Stock and/or the shares of any other class of outstanding Voting Stock retained by the holders of such shares.

With respect to references in this Article Eleven to periods that are wholly or partly prior to the Effective Date (as defined in paragraph 6 of this Section 3), references to the “corporation” shall be deemed to include A. H. Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and references to “Voting Stock”, “Common Stock” or “stock” of any class or series of the corporation shall be deemed to include the Voting Stock, Common Stock or stock of the class or series of A. H. Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation, that in the merger of A. H. Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with and into the corporation were converted into equivalent shares of Voting Stock, Common Stock or stock of any class or series of the corporation.

SECTION 4.

A majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such determination as is hereinafter in this Section 4 specified to be made by the Board) shall have the power to determine, on the basis of information known to them after reasonable inquiry, all facts necessary to determine compliance with this Article Eleven, including, without limitation, (1) whether a person is an Interested Shareholder, (2) the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by any person, (3) whether a person is an Affiliate or an Associate of another, (4) whether the applicable conditions set forth in paragraph 2 of Section 2 of this Article Eleven have been met with respect to any Business Combination, and (5) whether the assets which are the subject of any Business Combination referred to in subparagraph 1.1.b of Section 1 of this Article Eleven have, or the consideration to be received for the issuance or transfer of securities by the corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination referred to in subparagraph 1.1.c has, an aggregate Fair Market Value of $25,000,000 or more.

SECTION 5.

Nothing contained in this Article Eleven shall be construed to relieve any Interested Shareholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.

CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION OF A. H. BELO TEXAS, INC.

SECTION 6.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Formation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law, this Certificate of Formation or any Statement of Designations, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal this Article Eleven.

ARTICLE TWELVE

Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Texas as the Bylaws may provide. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by (i) the holders of record of, in the aggregate, not less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting or (ii) the other persons or holders of record authorized to call special meetings of the shareholders by the Bylaws, in either case, in accordance and compliance with the provisions and requirements of the Bylaws. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation by less than unanimous consent of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, and the power of shareholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any such action is specifically denied.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

No director of the corporation shall be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director, except that this Article Fourteen does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent the director is found liable under applicable law for (i) a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the corporation or involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s duties, or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute. If the TBOC or other applicable law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC or other applicable law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Fourteen by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 2. Other Offices. The corporation also may have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Texas as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or as the business of the corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1. Place of Meetings. All meetings of the shareholders for the election of directors or for any other proper purpose, including any special meeting of shareholders regardless of by whom called, shall be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Texas, as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate, as stated in the notice of such meeting or a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held by means of remote communications, subject to the laws of the Texas and such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt from time to time.

Section 2. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. At such meeting at which a quorum is present, the shareholders entitled to vote in the election of directors shall elect, by a plurality of the votes cast of all of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, a Board of Directors and may transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting.

Section 3. Special Meeting. (a) Special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer, by the President, by the Board of Directors or by a request (a “Special Meeting Request”) of the holders of record of, in the aggregate, not less than one-fifth of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting (the “Requisite Holders”). To be in proper form, a Special Meeting Request must comply with this Section 3. The Board of Directors shall determine whether a Special Meeting Request is in proper form and such determination shall be binding on the corporation and the shareholders, and if the Board of Directors should so determine, the Board of Directors shall so declare that any business not properly set forth in the Special Meeting Request shall not be transacted.

(b) If a Special Meeting Request is in proper form, the Secretary shall call such special meeting; provided, however, that the date of such special meeting shall not be more than one-hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which such Special Meeting Request was delivered to the Secretary; provided, further, that the Board of Directors may (in lieu of calling the special meeting requested in such Special Meeting Request) present an identical or substantially similar item of business (a “Similar Item”; the election of directors shall be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, for shareholder approval at any other meeting of the shareholders that is held not less than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which such Special Meeting Request was delivered to the Secretary.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, a Special Meeting Request shall not be valid and the special meeting requested in such Special Meeting Request shall not be called by the Secretary if (i) such Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law, (ii) such Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting, (iii) a Similar Item was presented at any meeting of shareholders held within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date on which such Special Meeting Request was delivered to the Secretary or (iv) a Similar Item is included in the corporation’s notice of meeting as an item of business to be presented at a shareholders meeting that has been called but not yet held. The Board of Directors may adjourn or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of the shareholders.

(d) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 3, a Special Meeting Request shall:

(i) be in writing, signed by each Requesting Person (as defined in Section 3(e)) and delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation;

(ii) as to each Requesting Person, set forth the Shareholder Information (as defined in Section 12(b)(ii), except that, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii), the term “Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 12(b)(ii));

(iii) as to each Requesting Person, set forth any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 12(b)(iii), except that, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(iii), the term “Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 12(b)(iii); provided, however, that the disclosure in clause (I) of Section 12(b)(iii) shall be made with respect to each item of business, if any, that the Requisite Holders propose to bring before the special meeting);

(iv) as to each item of business that the Requisite Holders propose to bring before the special meeting, set forth the Proposal Information (as defined in Section 12(b)(i));

(v) include (A) an agreement by each Requisite Holder to immediately deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation in the case of any disposition, on or prior to the record date for the special meeting requested in the Special Meeting Request, of any shares of common stock of the corporation held of record by such Requisite Holder and (B) an acknowledgement that (1) any such disposition shall be deemed a revocation of the Special Meeting Request to the extent of such disposition and (2) if, following such deemed revocation, the Requisite Holders hold of record, in the aggregate, less than one-fifth of the voting power of all outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation, there shall be no obligation to hold such special meeting;

(vi) as to each Requisite Holder, set forth (A) a summary of any material discussions regarding the business proposed to be brought before the meeting (I) between or among any of the Requisite Holders or (II) between or among any Requisite Holder and any other record or beneficial holder of the shares of any of the corporation’s securities (including their names) and (B) a representation whether the Requisite Holder will engage in a solicitation with respect to any nomination or proposal to be brought before the meeting and, if so, the name of each participant (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) in such solicitation and whether such person or group intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of voting power of the corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to elect the nominee or approve the proposal (in person or by proxy); and

(vii) as to each Requisite Holder, include such Requisite Holder’s written consent to the public disclosure of information provided pursuant to clauses (i) – (vi) of this Section 3(d) and Section 3(f).

Any Requisite Holder seeking to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors must also comply with Section 13.

(e) For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Requesting Person” shall mean (i) each Requisite Holder, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being delivered to the Secretary and (iii) any affiliate or associate of such shareholder or beneficial owner. For purposes of these Bylaws, shares shall be treated as “beneficially owned” by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(f) The Requisite Holders giving a Special Meeting Request shall further update and supplement such Special Meeting Request, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such Special Meeting Request shall be true and correct as of the record date for the special meeting requested to be called pursuant to such Special Meeting Request and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the special meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the special meeting or, if practical, any

adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the special meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

(g) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, except as otherwise required by law, if none of the Requisite Holders giving a Special Meeting Request appears or sends a Qualified Representative to present the business proposed by the Requisite Holders to be brought before the special meeting requested in such Special Meeting Request, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation. For purposes of these Bylaws, to be considered a “Qualified Representative” of the shareholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder, or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder, to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of the shareholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of the shareholders.

(h) The Requisite Holders may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the corporation at any time prior to the special meeting requested in such Special Meeting Request; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.

Section 4. Notice of Annual or Special Meeting. The Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors shall fix the place, if any, means of remote communication, if any, date and time of each annual or special meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, all of which shall be set forth in the notice of such meeting. Subject to Section 21.456 of the Texas Business Organizations Code, as amended (the “TBOC”), notice thereof shall be given at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary or other person calling the meeting, and shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail in writing, or by electronic transmission, by or at the direction of, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, 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 or her address as it appears on the transfer records of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time provided in the TBOC. If a meeting is held by means of remote communication, the notice must include information on how to access the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 5. Business at Special Meeting. The business transacted at any special meeting of the shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice thereof provided by the corporation pursuant to Section 3(b) and Section 4 of this Article II. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a special meeting. Shareholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the shareholders unless such business is brought pursuant to a Special Meeting Request that is timely delivered to the corporation in proper form or in accordance with Section 13 of this Article II.

Section 6. Quorum of Shareholders. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Formation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders but in no event shall a quorum consist of the holders of less than one-third (1/3) of the shares entitled to vote and thus represented at such meeting. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 7. Act of Shareholders’ Meeting.

of the full Board of Directors at a regular or special meeting of the Board. The designation of any such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him or her by law.

Any executive committee designated by the Board of Directors shall consist of the Chief Executive Officer and such number (not less than two (2)) of other directors as the Board may from time to time determine by resolution adopted by the majority of the full Board of Directors, one of the members of which committee shall be designated the chairman thereof by the Board of Directors. The executive committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, not inconsistent with this Article V, as it shall from time to time deem necessary and shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board when required. A majority of the members of the executive committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at a meeting, the members present may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present. The act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the executive committee, except as otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws. Any member of the executive committee may be removed by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of the full Board of Directors, whenever in its judgment the best interests of the corporation will be served thereby.

ARTICLE IX

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

Section 1. Certificated and Uncertificated Shares. Shares of capital stock of the corporation may, but shall not be required to, be issued in certificated form. If such stock is certificated, such certificates shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of the corporation as they are issued, and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation, and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a facsimile thereof. The signatures of the Chairman of the Board, the President or Vice President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, upon a certificate may be facsimiles, if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar, either of which is other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of its issuance. If the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, there shall be set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement that the corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of all of the powers, designations, preferences, and rights of the shares of each class authorized to be issued and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and, if the corporation is authorized to issue any preferred or special class in series, the variations in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each such series so far as the same have been fixed and determined, and the authority of the Board of Directors to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series. Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof that the corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Texas, the name of the person to whom issued, the number and the class and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents and the par value or a statement that the shares are without par value. No shares of capital stock shall be issued until the consideration therefor has been fully paid.

Section 2. Transfer of Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 2 of Article Four of the Certificate of Formation, the capital stock held of record by a shareholder shall be transferable only on the transfer books of the corporation, subject to these Bylaws, by the owner in person, or by attorney or legal representative, written evidence of whose authority shall be filed with the corporation. No transfer of shares of capital stock shall be valid until such transfer has been entered on the books of the corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. If stock is certificated, upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.

Section 3. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificate. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 4. Closing of Transfer Records and Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper

purpose, the Board of Directors may provide that the transfer records shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days. If the transfer records shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such ledger shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the transfer records, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days (or such longer period or may be required by the TBOC), prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the transfer records are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is given to shareholders or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such distribution 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 4, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer records and the stated period of closing has expired.

Section 5. Registered Shareholders. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive distributions, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Texas.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Section 1. Actions, Suits, or Proceedings Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted or required by the TBOC or other applicable law, as the same exists, may exist or be amended (but, in the case of any such new law or amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such new law or amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such new law or amendment), indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a witness) in, any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to be a delegate of the corporation to serve at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or organization or an employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.

For purposes of Article XI, (a) a “delegate” means a person who, while serving as a director of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another enterprise, another organization, or an employee benefit plan, and a person is a delegate to an employee benefit plan if the performance of the person’s official duties to the corporation also imposes duties on or otherwise involves service by the person to the plan or participants in or beneficiaries of the plan, and (b) a “representative” means a person who is (i) serving as a partner, director, officer, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, administrator, or agent of an enterprise or other organization or of an employee benefit plan; or (ii) serving a similar function for an enterprise or other organization or for an employee benefit plan.

Section 2. Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted or required by the TBOC or other applicable law, as the same exists, may exist or be amended (but, in the case of any such new law or amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such new law or amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such new law or amendment), indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a witness) in, any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to be a delegate of the corporation to serve at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or organization or an employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement)

actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with the defense or settlement of such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.

Section 3. Indemnification for Costs, Charges, and Expenses of Successful Party; Suits Initiated by a Director, Officer, Employee, Agent or Delegate. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XI, to the extent that a director, former director, officer, employee, agent or delegate of the corporation has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XI, except with respect to a proceeding to enforce rights to indemnification or advances under Section 6 of this Article, the corporation shall be required to indemnify a director, former director, officer, employee, agent or delegate under this Article in connection with an investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding initiated or brought by such person (including any counterclaim or cross-claim) only if such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

(a) Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article XI (unless required by Section 3 of this Article XI or ordered by a court) shall be paid by the corporation upon a determination that (i) the person to be indemnified (A) acted in good faith, (B) reasonably believed (1) in the case of conduct in the person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and (2) in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and (C) in the case of a criminal proceeding, that the person did not have a reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; and (ii) with respect to expenses, the amount of expenses other than a judgment is reasonable. Action taken or omitted by a person or delegate with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan is for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Action taken or omitted by a delegate to another enterprise for a purpose reasonably believed by the delegate to be in the interest of the other enterprise or its owners or members is for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. A person does not fail to meet the standard under this Section 4 solely because of the termination of any investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent.

(b) The determination under this Section 4 shall be made promptly after a written request for indemnification has been made (i) by the directors by a majority vote of directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether the directors who are disinterested and independent constitute a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether the directors who are disinterested and independent constitute a quorum, and is composed solely of directors who are disinterested and independent, or (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee by a vote in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 4(b) in a written opinion, or (iv) by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the shares entitled to vote thereon that excludes the shares held by directors who are not disinterested and independent.

(c) Indemnification under this Article XI of a person who is found liable to the corporation or is found liable because the person improperly received a personal benefit: (i) is limited to reasonable expenses (including costs, attorneys’ fees and amount paid in settlement) actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, (ii) does not include a judgment, a penalty, a fine, and an excise or similar tax, including an excise tax assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, and (iii) may not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the person has been found liable for (A) willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the corporation, (B) breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the corporation, or (C) an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the corporation.

(d) A person is considered to have been found liable in relation to a claim, issue, or matter only if the liability is established by an order, including a judgment or decree of a court, and all appeals of the order are exhausted or foreclosed by law.

(e) The only basis upon which a finding that indemnification may not be made is that such indemnification is prohibited by law or is beyond the scope of the right to indemnification conferred herein.

Section 5. Advance of Costs, Charges and Expenses. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing provisions, to the extent permitted by the TBOC or other applicable law, as the same exists, may exist or be amended (but, in the case of any such new law or amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such new law or amendment permits the corporation to provide broader rights to payment of expenses than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such new law or amendment), and the other provisions of this Section 5, all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by an director, delegate or officer of the corporation in defending a civil or criminal investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director, delegate or officer in his or her capacity as a director, delegate or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director, delegate or officer) in advance of the final disposition of such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director, delegate or officer of such person’s good faith belief that such person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article XI, and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director, delegate or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that such director, delegate or officer has not met the required standard of conduct under Section 4 of this Article XI or that indemnification is prohibited by Section 4. Such costs, charges and expenses incurred by former directors, employees and agents shall be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and upon approval of such director, delegate, officer, former director, employee, or agent of the corporation, authorize the corporation’s counsel to represent such person, in any investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding.

Section 6. Procedure for Indemnification. Any (i) indemnification under Sections 1, 2 and 3 shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days, or (ii) advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 5 of this Article XI shall be made promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) days, in each case upon the written request of the director, officer, employee, agent or delegate to the Secretary of the corporation. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article XI shall be enforceable by the director, officer, employee, agent or delegate in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the prescribed time period for such payment. Such person’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 5 of this Article XI where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that indemnification or advancement of costs and expenses is prohibited by law or beyond the scope of the right to indemnification conferred herein, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, its independent legal counsel, and its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, its independent legal counsel, and its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 7. Other Rights; Continuation of Right to Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of costs, charges and expenses provided by this Article XI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of costs, charges and expenses may be entitled under

any law (common or statutory), other Bylaw provision, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the corporation.

Section 8. Extent of Indemnification. In addition to the specific indemnification provided for herein, the corporation shall indemnify each person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve as a delegate at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or organization or employee benefit plan to the fullest extent authorized or permitted (a) by the TBOC, or any other applicable law, new law or by any amendment thereof or other statutory provision in effect on the date hereof, or (b) by the corporation’s Certificate of Formation as in effect on the date hereof.

Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“AHC Delaware”), for actions taken or omitted to be taken, in such capacities with AHC Delaware at or prior to the merger of AHC Delaware with and into the corporation (the “Merger”) to the same extent that the corporation would be able to indemnify such persons if such persons were serving in identical capacities with the corporation after the Merger and as if such acts or omissions had occurred after the Merger. In addition, with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken, while serving in such capacities with AHC Delaware prior to the Merger, such persons shall continue to have all such rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses as were provided under the bylaws of AHC Delaware at the time of the Merger, the obligations with respect to which rights were assumed by the corporation as obligations of the corporation pursuant to and as a consequence of the Merger.
