                            MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

     Section 1. Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders for the
     ---------- -----------------
election of directors shall be held in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, at
such place within such city as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of
Directors, or at such other place either within or without the State of Delaware
as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in
the notice of the meeting. Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be
held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall
be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver or notice
thereof.

     Section 2.  Annual Meetings.
     ----------  ---------------

     (a)  Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held on such date and
time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and
stated in the notice of the meeting, at which the stockholders shall elect by a
plurality vote by written ballot a Board of Directors and transact such other
business as may properly be brought before the meeting, all as set forth in
paragraphs (b) and (c) below of this Section 2.

     (b)  At an annual meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.  To be
properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (A) specified in
the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (C) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder.  For business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely, a
stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty
(120) calendar days in advance of the date specified in the Corporation's proxy
statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year's annual

                                       1
<PAGE>

meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual
meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been
changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date contemplated at the time of
the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the stockholder to be timely must
be so received not later than the close of business on the later of one hundred
twenty (120) calendar days in advance of such annual meeting date or ten (10)
calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the
annual meeting is first made.  A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set
forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual
meeting:  (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books,
of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares
of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any
material interest of the stockholder in such business, and (v) any other
information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), in his capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a
stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a
stockholders' meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the
regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act.  Notwithstanding anything in these
Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting
except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (b).  The
chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting
and in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and, if he should
so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not
properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

     (c)  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this paragraph (c) shall be eligible for election as directors.
Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the Corporation
may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote in the
election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this paragraph (c).  Such nominations, other than those made by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice
in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions
of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.  Such stockholder's notice shall set forth
(i) as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or re-election as a director:  (A) the name, age, business address and
residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of
such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by such person, (D) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or
persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to
be made by the stockholder, and (E) any other information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
elections of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case

                                       2
<PAGE>

pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to such
stockholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 2. At the request of the Board of Directors, any
person nominated by a stockholder for election as a director shall furnish to
the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in
the stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person
shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). The chairman
of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting
that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by
these Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting,
and the defective nomination shall be disregarded."

     Section 3. Notice of Annual Meetings. Written notice of the annual meeting,
     ---------- -------------------------
stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten or more

     Section 4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any
     ---------- ----------------
purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation, may be called at any time by order of the Board of
Directors and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the
Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors.
Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed special
meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be
limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

     ---------- --------------------------

entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before
the date of the meeting.

     Section 6. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or the
     ---------- ------
Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of stock having a majority of the
voting power of the stock entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
at all meetings of the stockholders. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy shall have
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than
announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the time and
place of the adjourned 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. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after
the adjournment a new record date is

                                       3
<PAGE>

fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

     Section 7. Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by
     ---------- ------------
the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Chief Executive
Officer, if any, or in his absence by the President, if any, or in his absence
by an Executive Vice President, if any, or in the absence of the foregoing
persons by a chairman designed by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of
such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the vote of a majority
in interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and
entitled to vote thereat. The Secretary or in his absence an Assistant Secretary
or in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries a person whom
the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting
and keep a record of the proceedings thereof.

     The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such
rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall
deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations
of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the
right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to
do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary,
appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including,
without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting,
rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of
those present, limitations on a participation in such meeting to stockholders of
record of the Corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and
such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the
meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the
time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the
opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted

be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure."

     Section 8. Order of Business. The order of business at annual meetings of

     Section 9. Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of
     ---------- ------
Incorporation, each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be
entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock of the
Corporation held by him and registered in his name on the books of the
Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article
VII of these By-Laws as the record date for the determination of stockholders
who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. Shares of its
own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority
of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other
corporation is held directly or indirectly by the Corporation, shall not be
entitled to vote. Any vote by stock of the Corporation may be given at any
meeting of the stockholders by the stockholder entitled thereto, in person or by
his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder
or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized and delivered to the Secretary of
the Corporation or to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no
proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless said
proxy shall provide for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless
expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and unless otherwise made
irrevocable by law. At all meetings of the stockholders all matters, except
where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
By-Laws, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the
stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, a
quorum being present. Unless demanded by a stockholder of the Corporation
present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders and entitled to
vote thereat, or so directed by the chairman of the meeting, the vote thereat on
any question other than the election or removal of directors need not be by
written ballot. Upon a demand of any such stockholder for a vote by written
ballot on any question or at the direction of such chairman that a vote by
written ballot be taken on any question, such

                                       5
<PAGE>

vote shall be taken by written ballot. On a vote by written ballot, each ballot
shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such
proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

     Section 10. List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the Secretary or
     ----------- --------------------
other officer of the Corporation who shall have custody of its stock ledger,
either directly or through another officer of the Corporation designated by him
or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and
make, at least ten days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete
list of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in alphabetical
order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares
registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the
examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during
ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to said
meeting, either at a place within the city where said meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of said meeting, of, if not so
specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held. The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place of said meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of record who shall be present
thereat. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, such list or the books of the
Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

     Section 11. Inspectors of Votes. At each meeting of the stockholders, the
     ----------- -------------------
chairman of such meeting may appoint two Inspectors of Votes to act thereat,
unless the Board of Directors shall have theretofore made such appointments.
Each Inspector of Votes so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or
affirmation faithful to execute the duties of an Inspector of Votes at such
meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such
Inspectors of Votes, if any, shall take charge of the ballots, if any, at such
meeting and after the balloting thereat on any question shall count the ballots
cast thereon and shall make a report in writing to the secretary of such meeting
of the results thereof. An Inspector of Votes need not be a stockholder of the
Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an Inspector of Votes on
any question other than a vote for or against his election to any position with
the Corporation or on any other question in which he may be directly interested.

     Section 12. Actions Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at
     ----------- -------------------------
any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action
which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereat were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of
the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent
shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

                              BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     Section 1. Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
     ---------- ------
managed by its Board of Directors, which shall have and may exercise all such
powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by
statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws directed or required
to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

     Section 2. Number, Qualification and Term of Office. The number of
     ---------- ----------------------------------------
directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall not be less
than three and shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of
Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of
authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in the previously
authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the
Board of Directors for adoption). The directors shall be divided into three
classes as nearly equal in number as possible as set forth in the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. Directors need not be stockholders. At
each annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification and
election of directors as set forth in the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, each director elected to succeed those directors
whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after his election and until his
successor is elected and qualified or until his death or retirement or until he
shall resign or shall be removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Such
election shall be by written ballot.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the By-Laws 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 capital
stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
(hereinafter referred to as the "Voting Stock") required by law or the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors relating to the issuance thereof, the affirmative vote of

     Section 1. Actions Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
     ---------- --------------------------------------------------------
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     Section 2. Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation
     ---------- ---------------------------------------------
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action or suit by or in the
right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

                                       16

     Section 3. Determination of Right to Indemnification. Any indemnification
     ---------- -----------------------------------------
under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be
made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VI. Such determination shall
be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.

     Section 4. Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions
     ---------- ------------------------
of this Article VI, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of
a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI, or
in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection therewith.

     Section 5. Prepaid Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or
     ---------- ----------------
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI.

     Section 6. Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification and advancement
     ---------- -------------------------
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

     Section 7. Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the

     ---------- -------
Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving
corporation, constituent corporations (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate

                             CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

     Section 1. Right to Certificate. Every holder of stock in the Corporation
     ---------- --------------------
shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the
Corporation by, the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President,
and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation certifying the
number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. If the Corporation shall be
authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any
class, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and
the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or
rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the
certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series
of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a
statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder
who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences
and/or rights.

     Section 2. Facsimile Signatures. Any of or all the signatures on the
     ---------- ---------------------
certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar
who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate
shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

     Section 3. New Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new
     ---------- ----------------
certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation and alleged to
have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that
fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or
destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the
Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate or certificates, or his 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 or the issuance of such new certificate.

     Section 4. Transfers. 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, assignation or authority to
transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation, subject to any proper
restrictions on transfer, to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

     Section 5. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the
     ---------- -----------
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
In order for business to have been properly brought before an annual meeting of
stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2 of Article II of these
Bylaws, such stockholder must be a stockholder on the record date, if any, fixed
for such annual meeting.

     Section 6. Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to
     ---------- -----------------------
recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner
of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable
for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of
shares, 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 person, whether or not
provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
