 address: 1600 West 7th Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The Corporate Secretary will review all messages received and will forward any message that reasonably appears to be a communication that deals with the functions of the Board of Directors or the standing committees of the Board of Directors or that otherwise requires the attention of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Communications will be sent as soon as practicable to the director, or group of directors, including the independent directors, to whom they are addressed, or if addressed to the Board of Directors generally, to the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications of such matters will not be forwarded to the Board of Directors. The Corporate Secretary has the option, but not the obligation, to forward these other communications to appropriate channels within the Company.

Borrowing against Company securities held in a margin account or pledging any Company securities as collateral for a loan may be granted, on a case-by-case basis, where the Company determines that such a pledge would not pose a material risk to the Company or its stockholders. In making such a determination, the Company will look at the financial capacity of the director or employee to repay the loan without resorting to the pledged securities, the value of the Company securities held relative to the total loan amount and the
