 that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. In each case, such indemnity shall be to the fullest extent authorized by the Texas Business Organizations Code and the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. If the director or officer is found liable to the Registrant, or received an improper personal benefit from the Registrant, whether or not involving action in such person’s official capacity, then indemnification will be limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred. Article X of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or the Registrant’s shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability:

| • |     | for any breach of duty of loyalty to the Registrant or the Registrant’s shareholders, |

| • |     | for an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, |

| • |     | for a transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from 
 an action taken within the scope of the director’s office,                                                       |

| • |     | for an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or |

| • |     | for an act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a dividend. |

In addition, Article IX of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of the Registrant’s Bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify to the fullest extent authorized by law any person made or threatened to be made party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or, while a director or officer, serves or served at the Registrant’s request as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of any other enterprise. 2
