&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{00151290 4 } 2 (b) Unless otherwise provided for in the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, as in effect at the time (the "Corporation Act"), or in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect at the time (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at such shareholder's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the stock transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. (c) Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall not be required to be given to any shareholder who shall have waived such notice, and such notice shall be deemed waived by any shareholder who shall have submitted a written waiver of notice or who shall have attended such meeting in person or by proxy, except a shareholder who shall have attended such meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. (d) Any meeting of the shareholders may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place by any of the chairman of the Board, the individual designated as the presiding officer of the meeting or a majority of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, whether or not a quorum is present, and notice of any adjourned meeting of the shareholders need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that when the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) 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. 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 original meeting. Section 2.05 Quorum. Subject to the provisions of the Corporation Act or the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, the holders of which shall be present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat who are present in person or by proxy or, if none of the holders of any shares entitled to vote thereat are present, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. Section 2.06 Voting. (a) Each shareholder shall, at each meeting of the shareholders, be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy, each share of the stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and which shall have been held by such shareholder and registered in such shareholder's name on the books of the Corporation: (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 2.07 of these by- laws (the "By-laws") as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{00151290 4 } 3 (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which meeting shall be held. (b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity, if a majority of the shares, membership interests, partnership interests or other applicable equity interests entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers or other similar positions in such other entity is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes. Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or the pledgee's proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. Shares having voting power standing of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or with respect to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship, shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation Act. (c) A shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for the shareholder by proxy, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board. The following shall constitute a valid means by which a shareholder may grant such authority: (i) by executing a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the shareholder or the shareholder's authorized officer, director, employee, agent or other authorized person signing the writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to the writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; or (ii) by authorizing another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing transmission of a facsimile, electronic mail, telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission capable of being reduced to writing to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization, or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the transmission; provided, that any facsimile, electronic mail, telegram, cablegram, or other acceptable means of electronic transmission must either set forth, or be submitted with information from which it can be determined, that such transmission was authorized by the shareholder. If it is determined that a facsimile, electronic mail, telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, any other person making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile, or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this subsection may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided, that the copy, facsimile, or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{00151290 4 } 4 (d) The attendance at any meeting by a shareholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless the shareholder (i) shall in writing so notify the secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of a proxy or (ii) votes at the meeting. (e) At any meeting of the shareholders, all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, in the By-laws or by law or applicable stock exchange rule, and except for the election of directors, shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, provided that a quorum is present. With respect to the election of directors at any meeting of the shareholders, each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director's election by the shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote for the election of directors, provided that a quorum is present and, provided further, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of shareholders for which (i) the secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominees for director set forth in Section 3.03(c) and (d) and, as applicable, Section 3.18 of these By-laws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such shareholder on or before the tenth (10th) day before the Corporation first issues its notice of meeting for such meeting to the shareholders. The vote at any meeting of the shareholders on any matter need not be by written ballot, except election of directors, unless so directed by the presiding officer of the meeting. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting, or by the shareholder's proxy, if there be such a proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted. Section 2.07 Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the directors, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the Corporation may determine shareholders 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 may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, in any case involving the determination of shareholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of shareholders, the Board shall not fix a record date, the record date for determining shareholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. Section 2.08 List of Shareholders. The Secretary of the Corporation shall cause to be prepared and made, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of

Section 2.09 Chairman and Secretary of the Meeting; Organization. Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the Board or, in his absence, by the next senior officer of the Corporation present. If no senior officers are present, the meeting of shareholders shall be presided over by a presiding officer to be chosen by the shareholders. The secretary of the Corporation, or in such officer's absence, an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but if none are present, the presiding officer of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting. The Board or a committee thereof shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the presiding officer 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 presiding officer, 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 participation in the meeting to shareholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the presiding officer 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 on by ballot. Section 2.10 Inspectors. If at any meeting of the shareholders a vote by written ballot shall be taken on any question, the presiding officer of the meeting may appoint an inspector or inspectors to act with respect to such vote. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath to execute faithfully the duties of an inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector's ability. Such inspector(s) shall decide upon the qualification of the voters, shall report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is completed, shall ascertain and report the number of shares voted respectively for and against the question. Reports of the inspector(s) shall be in writing and subscribed and delivered by them to the secretary of the Corporation. The inspector(s) need not be shareholders of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against a proposal in which such officer shall have a material interest. Section 2.11 Conduct of Meetings. (a) At an annual meeting of the shareholders, a matter (other than nominations of directors which shall be governed by Sections 3.03(c) and (d) and Section 3.18 of these By-laws) may only be considered if it is brought before the meeting: (i) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the discretion of the Board; or (iii) by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving the notice provided for herein, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b). Nothing in this Section 2.11(a) or 2.11(b) will be deemed to affect the rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). (b) For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be received at the

In no event shall the postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting, or the public disclosure of the postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. Such shareholder notice shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (1) a brief description of and the reasons for proposing such matter at the meeting; (2) with respect to the shareholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made: (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of such shareholder, and the name and address of such beneficial owner, if any; (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person and any affiliates or associates of such person; (C) the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder; (D) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation and (E) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation; (3) a representation that the shareholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting; (4) any material interest of such shareholder of record, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made or any affiliate or associate of any of the foregoing, in such proposal; (5) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such shareholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made or any affiliate or associate of any of the foregoing, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder; and (6) all other information that would be required to be disclosed by such shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made as a participant in a solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election, or would be otherwise required to be disclosed in connection with such solicitation, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The foregoing information shall be supplemented by such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose all such information as of the record date.

(d) Each of the Board, the chairman of the Board or the presiding officer of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether business proposed to be brought before a meeting was properly brought or proposed in accordance with these By-laws. The chairman of the Board or the individual designated as presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{00151290 4 } 7 procedures proscribed herein, and, if the chairman of the Board or the presiding officer of the meeting should so determine, then any such business shall not be transacted. (e) Notwithstanding anything provided herein to the contrary, the procedures for submission of shareholder proposals have not expanded, altered or affected in any manner whatever, the rights or limitations that may exist regarding the ability of a shareholder of the Corporation to submit a proposal for consideration by shareholders of the Corporation under Oklahoma or federal law.

The mere ownership of stock in another corporation by a director shall not disqualify such director to vote in respect of any transaction between the Corporation and such other corporation, provided, the other provisions of this Section 3.17 are complied with. (b) No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other entity shall be affected by the fact that any of the directors of the Corporation are interested in or are directors, officers, managers or similarly situated representatives of such other entity, if such contract or transaction be made, authorized, or confirmed by the Board in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph, or by any committee of the Board having the requisite authority, by vote of a majority of the members of such committee not so interested; and any director individually may be a party to or may be interested in any contract or transaction of the Corporation, provided, that such contract or transaction shall be approved or ratified by the Board or by any committee of the Board having the requisite authority, in the manner herein set forth.

Section 3.18 Inclusion of Shareholder Nominations in the Corporation's Proxy Statement. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these By-laws, including the provisions of Section 3.03, if the Corporation receives a timely director nomination notice that satisfies the requirements of Section 3.03 in connection with an annual meeting of shareholders delivered by one or more shareholders who, at the time the request is delivered and through the date of such annual meeting of shareholders, satisfy the ownership and other requirements of Section 3.03 and this Section 3.18 (such shareholder or shareholders, the "Eligible Shareholder"), and who at the time of providing the notice required by Section 3.03 also provides a notice (a "Proxy Access Notice") expressly electing to have its nominee(s) in its notice pursuant to Section 3.03 (each such nominee, a "Shareholder Nominee") included in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to this Section 3.18 with respect to such annual meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for such annual meeting of shareholders: (i) the name of such qualifying Shareholder Nominee(s) identified in such timely notice; (ii) the information concerning the Shareholder Nominee and the Eligible Shareholder that, as determined by the Corporation, is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement filed by the Corporation pursuant to the proxy rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or other applicable law; and (iii) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a Statement (as defined below).

(b) To be timely, a Proxy Access Notice must be received at the Principal Office of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days, and not more than one hundred fifty (150) calendar days, before the first anniversary of the date that the Corporation's proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting.

(d) The maximum number of Shareholder Nominees appearing in the Corporation's proxy statement with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the Permitted Number. For purposes hereof, the "Permitted Number" shall be equal to the greater of (i) two and (ii) the closest whole number that does not exceed 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 3.18 with respect to the applicable annual meeting of shareholders (such date, the "Final Proxy Access Nomination Date" and such number, the "Permitted Number"); provided, however, that the Permitted Number shall be reduced, but not below zero, by (i) the number of Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by Eligible Shareholder(s) for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement with respect to the applicable annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.18 but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board decides to nominate as nominees of the Board or otherwise appoint to the Board, (ii) the number of directors in office or director candidates who previously were Shareholder Nominees at either of the two prior annual meetings of shareholders (including any Shareholder Nominees the Board decided to nominate or appoint as contemplated by clause (i) above) and whom the Board of Directors determines to nominate for election or re-election as a director in connection with such annual meeting of shareholders and (iii) the number of directors in office or director candidates that in either case will be included in the Corporation's proxy statement with respect to such annual meeting as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or other understanding with a shareholder or group of shareholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of stock, by such shareholder or group of shareholders, from the Corporation), other than any such director referred to in this clause (iii) who was elected, as a nominee of the Board, at both of the two annual meetings of shareholders immediately preceding the applicable annual meeting, but only to the extent the Permitted Number will not be less than one after giving effect to the reduction set forth in this clause (iii); In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board at any time after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting of shareholders and the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall (i) rank such Shareholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy

In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.18 exceeds the Permitted Number, an Eligible Shareholder will have its highest ranking Shareholder Nominee (as ranked pursuant to the preceding sentence) who meets the requirements of this Section 3.18 selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation's outstanding stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in its Proxy Access Notice submitted to the Corporation (with the understanding that an Eligible Shareholder may not ultimately have any of its Shareholder Nominees included if the Permitted Number has previously been reached). If the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Shareholder has had one (1) Shareholder Nominee selected, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached. If, after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date, an Eligible Shareholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination or a Shareholder Nominee becomes ineligible or unwilling to serve on the Board, whether before or after the filing of a definitive proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded and no vote on such Shareholder Nominee will occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, and the Corporation (i) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Shareholder Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee proposed by the Eligible Shareholder or by any other Eligible Shareholder and (ii) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Shareholder Nominee will not be included as a director nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting. (e) In order to qualify to have a Shareholder Nominee included in the Corporation's proxy statement with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.18, an Eligible Shareholder must have owned (as defined below) 3% or more of the Corporation's outstanding stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (the "Required Shares") continuously for at least three years (the "Minimum Holding Period") as of both the date the Proxy Access Notice is received at the Principal Office of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 3.18 and the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and must continue to own the Required Shares through the meeting date. For purposes of satisfying the 3% ownership requirement under this Section 3.18, (i) the shares of stock continuously owned for at least the Minimum Holding Period individually by one or more shareholders may be aggregated, provided that the aggregate number of shareholders, and, if and to the extent that a shareholder is acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, of such beneficial owners, whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed twenty (20), and (ii) two or more investment funds that are (x) under common management and investment control, (y) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (z) a "group of investment companies" as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (each of the foregoing, a "Qualifying Fund") shall be treated as one shareholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shareholders in this paragraph (e), provided that each fund included within a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 3.18. A record holder acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners will not be counted separately as a shareholder with respect to the shares owned by beneficial owners on whose behalf such record holder has been directed in writing to act, but each such beneficial owner will be counted separately, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (e), for purposes of determining the number of shareholders whose holdings may be considered as part of an Eligible Shareholder's holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, Required Shares will qualify as such if and only if the beneficial owner of such shares as of the date of the Proxy Access Notice has itself individually beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year (3 year) period ending on that date and through the other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met).

The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be stated expressly in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so. Section 7.03 Regulations. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these By-laws, concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates for shares and uncertificated shares of the stock of the Corporation.

The termination of any action, suit, investigation 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 the person 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 the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. Section 8.02 Actions, Suits, or Proceedings 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 completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person 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, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith in a manner the person 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 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 shall deem proper. Section 8.03 Indemnity if Successful. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VIII, to the extent that a present or former director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 8.01 and 8.02, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified

Any indemnification under Sections 8.01 or 8.02 (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 present or former director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of directors designated by a majority vote of directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by the shareholders.

Such expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by former directors or officers or other employees and agents may be so paid under such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board may deem appropriate. Section 8.06 Provisions of By-laws not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For the purposes of this Article VIII, references to "the Corporation" include, in addition to the resulting corporation or other entity, any constituent corporation or entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees, or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such constituent corporation or entity or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation or entity as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise or as a member of any committee or similar body shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or

(b) For purposes of any determination under Section 8.04, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful, if such person's action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 8.09(b) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as the case may be. Section 8.10 Continuation of Rights Provided by this Article.

About the Code When you joined ONEOK, you became part of a company with an extraordinary legacy, built by dedicated individuals, one ethical action at a time. Now it's your turn to contribute to that legacy, inspiring others through your example to make a lasting, positive impact. Every day brings new opportunities to innovate, serve and provide safe, reliable energy to diverse customers and communities. As members of the ONEOK team, we are determined to meet every challenge with integrity and protect the trust our stakeholders place in us. Our Core Values guide us along the way, and so does our Code. The Code is at the core of our culture and our commitment to integrity. It's your guide to doing what's right and making choices that represent the very best of ONEOK. How do I use the Code? Succeeding in business has never been easy. The temptation is always there to push ethical and legal boundaries. The Code helps you reject that way of working and work the ONEOK way, which means, playing by the rules – all of the rules that apply to us. No exceptions. You should rely on the Code to know what's expected of you and uphold our high standards. It is your responsibility to read the Code and refer to it whenever questions or confusing situations arise. Does the Code apply to me? In short, yes. If you represent ONEOK in any way, you have a responsibility to understand and follow our Code. That includes every employee in every location and at every level of our company. The Code applies to full-time, part-time and temporary employees. We also expect our suppliers, vendors and other third parties to share ONEOK's commitment by upholding the spirit of our Code and following our Business Partner Code of Conduct. What if the Code is violated? We take our Code seriously. Anything that violates the Code also violates our relationships and the trust we all share. That's why any violations of our Code or policies carry serious consequences. Those involved may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination. If a law has been violated, the consequences could be even more harsh, with possible civil or criminal penalties.

Every employee has a responsibility to: Give life to our Core Values – Let them inspire you and influence every action you take. Be the ONE – Be the person who knows and follows our Code, policies and the laws that apply. Also ask questions if anything is unclear. Speak up – Are you aware of something that might violate our Code, policies or the law? Don't ignore it. Speak up immediately. Participate – If we ask for your help with an investigation or audit, cooperate fully and honestly. Supervisors have added responsibilities: Set the right tone – In every action and conversation, demonstrate the ONE Way to Work by expecting the best from yourself and others. Be a resource – Become well-versed in our Code and policies so you can guide your team in the right direction when they need help. Be there for your team – Keep the lines of communication open so your team feels confident and comfortable coming to you with concerns. Listen and act – Take your team's concerns seriously. Once you're aware of possible misconduct, take action. Instead of investigating it yourself, speak up right away. Consider This I'm a supervisor, and a member of my team has come to me with a concern. Right now, it's only a suspicion of misconduct. Should I find out more before I take action? No. You don't need to confirm misconduct or even have all of the details of a situation to take action. Speak up about what you have learned to your own supervisor or another ONEOK resource. Your Role Our good name means everything to us at ONEOK. When each of us recognizes our shared responsibility to protect and strengthen our reputation, we create the kind of company and the future we envision. 7 ONE WAY TO WORK / Code of Business Conduct and Ethics CONTENTS RESOURCES HOTLINELAST PAGE VIEWED

Is this action legal? Does it follow our Code and policies? Is it good for our stakeholders? Does it mirror our Core Values? Is it good for ONEOK? Would I want others to know about this? Good Decisions, Every Day Our decisions, even the smallest ones, when made carelessly or in conflict with our Core Values, may take ONEOK off course. We trust your good judgment, but every decision isn't easy. If you're ever unsure, check our Code and policies and ask yourself: Make sure you can answer "YES" to every question. If you can, the action is likely OK. Answering "no" or "maybe" to any question means you should stop and ask for help. 8 ONE WAY TO WORK / Code of Business Conduct and Ethics CONTENTS RESOURCES HOTLINELAST PAGE VIEWED

Have a Concern? Following the Code and making good decisions are the key elements of the ONE Way to Work. They also help you recognize when a violation might be happening. That's when it's time to let ONEOK know. After all, we can only address violations when we're aware of them. What to do When you have a concern, speaking up is one of your most important responsibilities – it also may be one of the most difficult. We understand you may not speak up if you don't think you'll be heard or you feel pressured to keep quiet. For that reason, you have a variety of ways to speak up. Contact either: › Your supervisor. › Compliance and Ethics. › The Human Resources department. › The Legal department. › Any member of management. What happens next › No matter which option you choose, we will take your report seriously, even if you don't have all the details or you're only reporting a suspicion of misconduct. › If necessary, we will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation and keep your report as confidential as possible. We also will seek to protect the rights of anyone being investigated. › We expect you to cooperate honestly and completely with any internal or external investigation that may arise. › If the investigation reveals a violation of our Code, policies or the law, we will take appropriate action. Is This a "Good-Faith" Report? It is if: ➔ You sincerely believe your concern to be true. ➔ You're not making a knowingly false report. You don't need all the details to make a good-faith report. Just report honestly and without malice. Or, if you prefer, you may contact: The ONEOK Hotline By phone at Or online at 888-393-6825 secure.ethicspoint.com This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is operated by an independent third-party provider. An operator or online web form will document your concern and forward it to the appropriate ONEOK resource.

Have a Concern? No retaliation Fear of retaliation – the belief that you might face some negative treatment for reporting a concern – may discourage someone from speaking up. We value honesty and integrity in all we do. Retaliation has no place in our culture. It also violates our Code. That's why we never tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up in good faith or helps with an investigation – even if you report something that doesn't turn out to be true. Retaliation might look like: › Termination or the threat of termination. › Demotion. › Reduced responsibilities. › Reduced pay. › Denied opportunities. › Exclusion from activities. Have you seen or experienced possible retaliation? If so, don't keep it to yourself. Speak up immediately. Consider This Something has happened involving my supervisor. While I'd like to report it, I'm afraid I'll be fired if I do. If I'm not fired, everyone I work with will have a negative impression of me. Can I just wait to see if the situation resolves? We understand this situation may be especially difficult to report, but it's your responsibility to speak up. We won't tolerate retaliation against you, no matter who is involved. Speak up to any resource listed in the Code, including the ONEOK Hotline. 10 ONE WAY TO WORK / Code of Business Conduct and Ethics CONTENTS RESOURCES HOTLINELAST PAGE VIEWED

› No matter how you interact with others – in person, online or over the phone, treat each person with dignity and respect. That includes interactions with: ➔ Co-workers. ➔ Customers. ➔ Business partners. ➔ The public. › Recognize harassment in all forms, whether it's verbal, visual or physical. Stay alert for sexual harassment, including unwanted physical contact or sexual advances. › Remember, harassment may be a matter of perception. What one person perceives as acceptable, another might find intimidating or offensive. Consider how others may perceive your behavior. › Watch for signs of disrespect in others' behavior and in your own. Don't ignore possible harassment, intimidation, bullying or abuse at ONEOK, no matter who is involved or where in our business it happens. Speak up immediately. Respect in the Workplace Working at ONEOK should be a positive and rewarding experience. Anything less goes against what we believe in, so we keep harassment and disrespectful behavior out of our workplace. Consider This Several co-workers send each other off-color jokes and pictures via text. They haven't sent them to me, but they talk about them. I find them offensive, but since they didn't send this material directly to me, should I ignore it? No. If you can, speak to your co-workers. Let them know their conversations make you uncomfortable and ask them to stop. If they don't or you're not comfortable speaking to them directly, speak up about your concerns to your supervisor or another ONEOK resource immediately. Keep Learning Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination IS IT HARASSMENT? Ask yourself: Does the behavior involve … > Unwanted physical contact? > Inappropriate gestures or comments? > Derogatory jokes, names, insults or intimidation? > The sharing of offensive material? > Isolation or exclusion? And does it … > Make it hard for someone to do their work? > Create a stressful or negative work environment? If you answer "yes" or "maybe" to any of these, it could be harassment.

Report issues like: ➔ Broken or malfunctioning equipment. ➔ Environmental hazards. ➔ Hazardous work conditions. ➔ Weapons in the workplace. ➔ Substance abuse. ➔ Violations of safety policies and procedures. › When you come to work, be ready to work. Never work or operate our equipment under the influence of alcohol or drugs (whether illegal drugs or prescribed medications), which may compromise your judgment and put you and others at risk. › Help keep violence out of ONEOK, whether it's physical or verbal threats.

Conflicts of Interest Am I Headed for a Conflict? It's not always easy to tell, but begin by asking yourself: ➔ Are my personal interests getting in the way of my commitment to ONEOK? ➔ Could this affect my work decisions? ➔ Does this involve any of my friends or family? ➔ Does it benefit me but not ONEOK? ➔ Could this make others question my loyalty? Did you answer "yes" or "I'm not sure" to ANY of these questions? If so, you may have a conflict. Discuss it with your supervisor and/or submit a conflict of interest determination request immediately. Consider This My spouse's employer is bidding on a contract with ONEOK. Since the work involves a different department than mine, and I'm not involved in the decision, should I still disclose this? Yes, you should. Even if you don't help select ONEOK's vendors, you should still disclose the situation.

If your supervisor won't listen, speak up to another ONEOK resource so we may evaluate the situation.

Political Activities Having a voice in politics is a freedom we want every ONEOK employee to enjoy. While our company encourages us to be involved in the political process, we are respectful of others' viewpoints, follow our policies and keep our politics separate from work. › Practice politics without pressure. Respect every individual's right to support their own candidates and causes. Never make anyone feel obligated to support or donate to certain campaigns or causes. › Only use your own time and resources to support your political or civic activities – never use resources belonging to ONEOK, including our funds, assets or name. › When you express your political views, do so independently. Never make it seem like you're speaking for ONEOK. › Follow the law and our policies in your political activities. Never allow your activities to lead to a conflict of interest. › Be aware that ONEOK may sometimes work with lobbyists, but you, as an employee, should never conduct lobbying activities on our behalf, unless you are designated to do so. › If you are designated to engage in corporate lobbying activities, follow the law, including all registration and notification requirements. › Use care in any interaction with government officials, including politicians. Avoid any inappropriate offers, which could give the appearance of a bribe. What Kind of Activities Are Political? They may include: ➔ Wearing campaign attire. ➔ Expressing political opinions. ➔ Displaying or distributing campaign materials. ➔ Certain lobbying activities. Consider This My friend volunteers for a local political candidate and invited me to a rally during the weekend. Is that OK? In general, yes, this should be acceptable – as long as your activities don't interfere with your work, you offer support in your own name and use your own personal resources.
