Section 2.3 Notice of Shareholder Proposals. At an annual meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

For such business to be considered properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder such shareholder must, in addition to any other applicable requirements, have given timely notice in proper form of such shareholder’s intent to bring such business before such meeting. To be timely given, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal

executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure. Except as required by law, nothing in this Section shall obligate the Company or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other shareholder communication distributed on behalf of the Company or the Board of Directors information with respect to any proposal submitted by a shareholder.

Section 2.4 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer/President, or a majority of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Secretary at the written request of the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

At the continuation of the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 120 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.7 Nominations for Directors. Subject to the rights granted to a particular class or series of stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section. In addition to any other applicable requirements, all nominations by shareholders must be given in a timely manner in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely given, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, to the Secretary at

The shareholder’s notice must also contain as to such shareholder giving notice, the information required to be provided under Section 2.3. No person shall be eligible for election as a director unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures. Except as required by law, nothing in this Section shall obligate the Company or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other shareholder communication distributed on behalf of the Company or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director submitted by a shareholder.

Section 2.8 Quorum. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of shareholders. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present in person or represented by proxy shall have the 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. Once a quorum is attained, the shareholders present or represented at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. A shareholder that is present at a meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to be present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, except where such person is present at the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 2.9 Proxies and Voting. On each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders, each shareholder shall have one vote for every share of stock entitled to vote and registered in his or her name on the record date for the meeting, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class are limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation or the Louisiana Business Corporation Act (“LBCA”).

Except as otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation or by law, a majority of votes actually cast shall decide any matter properly brought before the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present, except that directors shall be elected by plurality of the votes actually cast.

At any meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present, every shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing filed with the Secretary of the Company prior to or at the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable, and unless otherwise made irrevocable by law.

Section 2.10 Voting List. After fixing a record date for a meeting, the Company shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all of its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting,

arranged by voting group, and within each voting group by class or series of shares, and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. In the manner and to the extent required by law, the list shall be available for inspection beginning two business days after notice is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting. This list shall be prima facie evidence of the ownership of shares in the Company and of the right of the shareholders listed therein to vote.

Section 2.11 Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holder or holders of shares representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would have been necessary to take such action at a meeting at which the holders of all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. The consent(s), which shall bear the date(s) of signature(s) of the shareholder(s) signing the consent, together with a certificate by the Secretary of the Company to the effect that the subscribers to the consent constitute all or the required proportion of the shareholders entitled to vote on the particular question, shall be filed with the records of the proceedings of the shareholders. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referenced therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest date on which a consent is delivered to the Company as required by this Section was signed, written consents signed by sufficient shareholders to take action have been delivered to the Company. An action taken by written consent shall be effective when written consents signed by sufficient shareholders to take the action are delivered to the Company, subject to any reasonable delay to permit tabulation of written consents by the Company. If the consent is signed by fewer than all of the shareholders having voting power on the question, written notice of the action taken by consent shall be given to all of the shareholders having voting power on the question, other than those who signed the consent, not more than 10 days after written consents sufficient to take the action have been delivered to the Company, or such later date that tabulation of consents is completed as provided by law.

Section 2.12 Inspectors. The Board of Directors or, in the absence of a designation by the Board, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written certification thereof. Such inspectors shall perform such duties as shall be specified by the Board of Directors or chairman of the meeting, or as otherwise required by law. No director or nominee for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Except as otherwise limited by the Board of Directors or chairman of the meeting, the inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, ballots, the regular books and records of the Company and any other credible evidence provided by the shareholder, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of the Company, brokers, their nominees or similar persons that represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast, or more votes than the shareholder holds of record.

In addition, the directors may be reimbursed their expenses. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

Section 3.14 Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may from time to time designate from among its members one or more committees of the Board, and shall designate such committees as shall be required by applicable law, each of which shall, except as otherwise prescribed by law, have such lawfully delegable powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company as the Board may specify in the resolutions designating such committee or in the charter of such committee adopted by the Board.

Any vacancy occurring on a committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors, but the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer/President may designate another director to serve on the committee pending action of the Board.

Notice of meetings of the Board of Directors to an Advisory Director will not be required under any applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Each Advisory Director will be entitled to receive such compensation as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors for such position. No Advisory Director will be entitled to vote on any business coming before the Board of Directors, nor will he or she be counted as a member of the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining the number of directors necessary to constitute a quorum, for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present, or for any purpose whatsoever. Upon the occurrence of any vacancy in an Advisory Director position, that position will be deemed terminated until such time as the Board of Directors will again deem it proper to create and to fill the position. An Advisory Director may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors.

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 5.1 Certificated and Uncertificated Shares. The shares of the capital stock of the Company may be either certificated shares or uncertificated shares; provided, however, that every holder of

capital stock of the Company shall be entitled to have a certificate evidencing the number and class (and series, if any) of shares owned by him or her and containing such information as required by law. As used herein, the term “certificated shares” means shares represented by instruments in bearer or registered form, and the term “uncertificated shares” means shares not represented by instruments and the transfers of which are registered upon books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the Company.

Section 5.2 Certificates of Stock. Certificates representing shares of stock of each class or series of stock of the Company, whenever authorized by the Board of Directors or required by law, shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board. Such certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer/President or a Vice President, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company and may be sealed with the corporate seal of the Company or a facsimile thereof. The signature of any officer may be a facsimile. Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Company, shall be validly executed notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such certificates.

No certificate shall be issued until the consideration for such certificate has been fully paid. Each certificate representing shares of the Company shall state upon the face thereof the name of the Company, that the Company is organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana, the name of the person to whom the shares are issued, and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, that such certificate represents.

Section 5.3 Designation of Classes of Stock. If the Company is authorized to issue shares of more than one class, each certificate representing shares issued by the Company shall conspicuously set forth on the certificate, or shall state that the Company will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a summary of the designations, preferences, limitations, and relative rights of the shares of each class and of each series of each preferred or special class, so far as the same have been fixed, and the authority of the Board to establish other series and to fix the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of any class or series by amendment of the articles.

Section 5.4 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any previously issued certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer/President may prescribe, including the presentation of reasonable evidence of such loss, theft or destruction and the giving of such indemnity and posting of such bond as the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer/President may require for the protection of the Company or any transfer agent or registrar.

Section 5.5 Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its registered office or at such other location designated by the Board of Directors, a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Board of Directors may prescribe, the registrar and transfer agent shall register the stock of the Company and the transfers thereof. The registrar or transfer agent shall be the Secretary unless otherwise provided for by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 5.6 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. Stock of the Company shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of stock shall be made only on the books of the Company, and in the case of certificated shares of stock, only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate for the purpose of such transfer, properly endorsed for transfer and payment of all

necessary transfer taxes; or, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares and upon payment of all necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement, compliance or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which the officers of the Company shall determine to waive such requirement. With respect to certificated shares of stock, every certificate exchanged, returned or surrendered to the Company shall be marked “Cancelled,” with the date of cancellation, by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company or the transfer agent thereof. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Company for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Company by an entry showing from and to who transferred.

Section 5.7 Regulations. The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue and transfer of certificates representing shares of stock of each class of the Company and may make such rules and take such action as it may deem expedient concerning the issue of certificates in lieu of certificates claimed to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.

Section 5.8 Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or to receive or exercise subscription or other rights, or to participate in a reclassification of stock, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purposes, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for determination of shareholders for such purpose, which record date shall be not more than 70 days prior to the date on which the action requiring the determination of shareholders is to be taken. A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the Board of Directors elects to fix a new record date or the meeting is adjourned for more than 120 days.

Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise provide, if no record date is fixed for the purpose of determining shareholders (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting, the close of business on the day before the notice of the meeting is mailed, or if notice is waived, the close of business on the day before the meeting, shall be the record date for such purpose, or (ii) for any other purpose, the close of business on the day which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto shall be the record date for such purposes.

Section 5.9 Stock Transfer Books. The Board of Directors may, from time to time and in its discretion, order that the stock transfer books shall be closed.

Section 5.10 Registered Shareholders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize and treat a person registered on its records as the owner of shares, as the exclusive owner in fact thereof for all purposes, and as the person entitled to have and to exercise all rights and privileges incident to the ownership of such shares, including the right to vote and to receive dividends, distributions or payments of interest and principal thereon. The Company 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 Louisiana; and the rights under this section shall not be affected by any actual or constructive notice which the Company, or any or its directors, officers or agents, may have to the contrary.

NOTICES

Section 6.1 Notices. Whenever required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, notice is to be given to any director, committee member or shareholder, and no provision is made as to how such notice is to be given, such notice may be given: (i) in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such director, committee member or shareholder at such address as appears on the books of the Company or (ii) in any other method permitted by the LBCA. Any notice required or permitted to be given by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time the same is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon paid. Notice to directors, committee members or shareholders may also be given by nationally recognized overnight delivery or courier service, and shall be deemed given when such notice shall be received by the proper recipient thereof or, if earlier, one (1) day after such notice is sent by such overnight delivery or courier service. Notice from the Company may be given to the shareholder, director or committee member by electronic transmission in accordance with the LBCA. Notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed to be received in accordance with the LBCA. If the notice required by this Section is given by multiple means, such notice shall be effective as of the earliest date on which it was received.

Section 6.2 Waivers. Whenever notice is required by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws to be given, a written waiver signed by or on behalf of the person entitled to notice or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be equivalent to giving the notice. A waiver transmitted by email will be deemed given if transmitted from an email address provided by such person for the purpose of receiving notices or other communications from the Company. Neither the business nor the purpose of the meeting need be specified in a waiver. Attendance of a shareholder, director or committee member at a meeting will constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the shareholder, director or committee member attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened or, in the case of a shareholder, the lack of proper notice to the shareholders.
