SILVAGAS CORPORATION

ARTICLE ONE

Offices

     1.1 Registered Office and Agent. The Corporation shall at all times maintain a
registered office in the State of Delaware and shall have not more than one (1) registered agent
whose business office is identical with such registered office.

     1.2 Other Offices. The Corporation may have offices at such place or places, within
or outside the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint or the
business of the Corporation may require or make desirable.

ARTICLE TWO

Stockholders’ Meetings

     2.1 Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders may be held at any place within or
outside the State of Delaware as set forth in the notice thereof or in the event of a meeting held
pursuant to waiver of notice, as may be set forth in the waiver, or if no place is so specified, at
the principal office of the Corporation.

     2.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date as
shall be designated by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing directors and transacting
any and all business that may properly come before the meeting. At the annual meeting of
stockholders, the order of business shall be as determined by the Chairman of the meeting.

     2.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the
principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as may be designated in the notice of
said meetings upon call of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, any Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Secretary or at the request in writing of
two or more directors or of stockholders owning at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat.

     2.4 Notice of Meetings. Unless waived as contemplated in Section 5.2 or by
attendance at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, for any purpose other than to state, at
the beginning of the meeting, an objection or objections to the transaction of business, a written
or printed notice of each stockholders’ meeting stating the place, day and hour of the meeting
shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date
thereof, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or Secretary or
other person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
In the case of

 

 

an annual meeting, the notice of the meeting need not state the purpose or purposes of the meeting
unless the purpose or purposes constitute a matter which the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”) requires to be stated in the notice of the meeting. In the case of a special meeting, the
notice of meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. When a
meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless after the adjournment the Board fixes a new
record date for the adjourned meeting as may be required pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, it shall
not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the
meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

     2.5 Quorum. At all meetings of the stockholders, the presence, in person or by proxy,
of the holders of more than fifty (50%) of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote shall
constitute a quorum. A stockholder who makes a special appearance for purposes of objecting to lack
of notice or defective notice or objecting to holding the meeting or transacting the business at
the meeting shall not be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present
to organize a meeting, the meeting may be adjourned pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof. The
stockholders present at a meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business
for the remainder of the meeting and at any adjournment of the meeting,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, unless the
meeting is adjourned under circumstances where a new record date is or must be set pursuant to
Section 2.10 hereof.

     2.6 Voting of Shares. Except as otherwise provided by Certificate of Incorporation of
the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or by agreement of the stockholders pursuant
to Section 2.13 hereof, each outstanding share having voting rights shall be entitled to one vote
on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Voting on all matters shall be by
voice vote or by show of hands unless any qualified voter, prior to the voting on any matter,
demands vote by ballot, in which case each ballot shall state the name of the stockholder voting
and the number of shares voted by him and if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall also state the
name of such proxy. If a quorum is present, action on a matter (other than the election of
directors) is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the
action unless these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL requires a greater number
of affirmative votes. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors
are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a
meeting at which a quorum is present. Stockholders do not have a right to cumulate their votes for
directors unless the Certificate of Incorporation so provide.

     2.7 Proxies. A stockholder entitled to vote pursuant to Section 2.6 may vote in person
or by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his attorney in fact. A proxy shall not be
valid after three years from the date of its execution, unless a longer period is expressly stated
therein.

     2.8 Presiding Officer. The stockholders, by majority vote of those present, shall
have the right to select a person to preside at any stockholders meeting. If the stockholders do
not exercise such right, the Chairman or in his absence the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors
or

 

 

in his absence an alternate chairman designated by a majority of the directors present shall
preside. The Presiding Officer shall appoint such persons as he deems required to assist with the
meeting.

     2.9 Corporation’s Acceptance or Rejection of Votes or Proxies. The Corporation is
entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer
or agent authorized to tabulate the votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt
about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the
stockholder or about the faithfulness or completeness of the reproductions when the original has
not been examined. The Corporation and its officer or agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent,
waiver or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with Section 212(c)(2) of the DGCL are
not liable in damages to the stockholder for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.

     2.10 Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders, whether or not a quorum is
present, may be adjourned by the holders of a majority of the voting shares represented at the
meeting to reconvene at a specific time and place. At any such reconvened meeting at which a quorum
is represented or present, any business may be transacted which could have been transacted at the
meeting which was adjourned. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the reconvened meeting
or of the business to be transacted, if the time and place of the reconvened meeting are announced
at the meeting which was adjourned, except that if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120
days after the date of the original meeting or, if after adjournment a new record date is set, a
notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record
date.

     2.11 Action of Stockholders Without a Meeting.

          (a) Any action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a
meeting if one or more written approvals and consents, setting forth the action authorized, shall
be signed and dated by each of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matter on the record date
as determined in subsection 2.11(b). A written consent executed pursuant to the DGCL and these
Bylaws shall have the same effect as a vote at a meeting of the holders of the shares represented
on the executed consent(s) and may be described as such in any document.

          (b) Record Date and Effective Date. Unless otherwise set by the Board of Directors
in accordance with Section 213 of the DGCL, the record date for determining stockholders entitled
to take action without a meeting shall be the date the first stockholder signs the consent. No
written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless evidence
of written consent(s) signed by stockholders sufficient to take such action is delivered to the
Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records within sixty (60)
days of the earliest date appearing on a consent. Unless the consent provides for a later
effective date, a consent delivered to the Corporation shall be effective on the date of delivery
of the last consent required to take action.

          (c) Revocation of Written Consent. A stockholder may revoke his written consent by
delivering a writing to that effect to the Corporation that is received prior to receipt by the
Corporation of unrevoked written consents sufficient in number to take corporate action.

 

 

     2.12 List of Stockholders. After fixing the record date for a meeting, the Secretary
or other officer of the Corporation having charge of the stock ledger shall prepare an alphabetical
list of the names of all stockholders who are entitled to notice of a stockholders’ meeting showing
the number and class and series, if any, of voting shares held by each, and such list shall be kept
open at the time and place of the meeting and during the whole time of said meeting shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder. If the requirements of this section have not been
substantially complied with, the meeting shall, on the reasonable demand of any stockholder in
person or by proxy, be adjourned until the requirements are complied with. If no such demand is
made, failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the validity of any
action taken at such meeting.

     2.13 Stockholders’ Agreements. In addition to those stockholders’
agreements authorized by Section 218 of the DGCL, the holders of all the outstanding and issued
stock of the Corporation may enter into an agreement or agreements between themselves,
and the Corporation also, if so elected, concerning the rights and privileges of the respective
classes of stock (including but not limited to voting rights) and the transferability of the stock
of the Corporation, and such agreement, where not otherwise contrary to law, shall be effective to
establish the conditions of and methods of transferability of stock of the Corporation to the
extent attempted by said agreement.

ARTICLE THREE

The Board of Directors

     3.1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by
the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon it by
these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all
such lawful acts and things as are not by law, by any legal agreement among stockholders, by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by lawfully adopted Bylaws, directed or required to be exercised or
done by the stockholders.

     3.2 Number, Election and Term of Office. The number of directors shall at all times be
a number which is no less than one (1) and no greater than fifteen (15), the exact number of
directors within said range to be set by the Board of Directors from time to time. The minimum and
maximum number of directors may be changed from time to time by the stockholders or if so
authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation, by the Board of Directors. Except as provided in
Section 3.4, the directors shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes
cast by the shares represented at the annual meeting. Each director, except in case of death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal, shall serve until the next succeeding annual
meeting and thereafter until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

     3.3 Removal. Any director may be removed from office with or without cause by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of
directors. Removal action may be taken at any stockholders’ meeting with respect to which

 

 

notice of such purpose has been given, and a removed director’s successor may be elected at the
same meeting to serve the unexpired term.

     3.4 Vacancies. Except for vacancies by reason of removal of a director in accordance
with Section 3.3, a vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled for the unexpired
term and until the stockholders have elected a successor by an affirmative vote of a majority of
the directors remaining in office. Such vote shall be effective even if the remaining directors
constitute less than a quorum of the Board of Directors.

     3.5 Compensation. Directors may receive such compensation for their services as
directors as may from time to time be fixed by vote of the Board of Directors or the stockholders.
A director may also serve the Corporation in a capacity other than that of director and receive
compensation, as determined by the Board of Directors, for services rendered in that other
capacity.

     3.6 Presiding Officer. The Board of Directors shall appoint from among its members a
Chairman and, if there is more than one director, one or more Vice Chairmen of the Board. The
Chairman shall preside at all meetings when present. The Vice Chairman shall perform the duties of
the Chairman in the absence of the Chairman. If there be more than one Vice Chairman, then the
Board of Directors shall designate the Vice Chairman who shall perform the duties of the Chairman
in the absence of the Chairman at any such meeting.

     3.7 Executive and other Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution or
resolutions passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate an executive committee and one or
more other committees, each consisting of three or more directors, each of which committees may act
by a majority of its members. Such executive committee shall have and may exercise all the powers
of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation when the
Board is not meeting; and each other committee shall have such powers of the Board and otherwise as
are provided in the resolution establishing such committee. Provided, however, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the executive committee and all other committees established by
the Board shall have no power (1) to approve or adopt or recommend to the stockholders, any action
or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be
submitted to stockholders for approval; (2) or to adopt, amend, or repeal any bylaw of the
Corporation. Unless otherwise specifically permitted by the Board of Directors, the rules
promulgated by these Bylaws with respect to meetings of directors, notice, quorums, voting and
other procedures at such meeting shall be applicable to meetings of the executive and any other
committee established by the Board of Directors.

date of the meeting, or by telephone, telegram, teletype, facsimile, cablegram, e-mail or other
form of wire or wireless communication or personal delivery at least two (2) days before the date
of the meeting. Notice shall be deemed to have been given by telegram or cablegram at the time
notice is filed with the transmitting agency. Attendance by a director at a meeting shall

express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business
because the meeting is not lawfully called.

     4.5 Quorum. At meetings of the Board of Directors, the presence of at least one-half
(1/2) of the directors then in office shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business at such meeting.

Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the act of a majority of the directors present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present at the time shall be the act of the Board of Directors
provided, however, that if there is only one director, the act of such sole director shall be the
act of the Board of Directors. Adoption, amendment and repeal of these Bylaws is provided for in
Article Ten of these Bylaws. Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled as provided in
Section 3.4 of these Bylaws.

     4.7 Dissent or Abstention. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of
Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have
assented to the action unless (i) he objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his
arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; (ii) his dissent or
abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (iii) he delivers
written notice of his dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its
adjournment or to the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation immediately after adjournment
of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in
favor of the action taken.

 

 

     4.8 Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if a written consent
thereto shall be signed by all the directors and such written consent is delivered to the
Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Such consent shall
have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors and may be evidenced
by one or more written consents describing the action taken.

     4.9 Adjournments. A meeting of the Board of Directors, whether or not a quorum is
present, may be adjourned by a majority of the directors present to reconvene at a specific time
and place. It shall not be necessary to give notice of the reconvened meeting or of the business
to be transacted, other than by announcement at the meeting which was adjourned. At any such

been transacted at the meeting which was adjourned.

Incorporation, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by such Board, may
participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all directors participating in the meeting may
simultaneously hear each other during the meeting, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this
Section 4.10 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

ARTICLE FIVE

     5.1 Procedure. Whenever these Bylaws require notice to be given to any stockholder or
director, the notice shall be given as prescribed in the DGCL and Sections 2.4 or 4.4 hereof for

by mail, the notice shall be sent first class mail by depositing the same in a post office or
letter box in a postage prepaid sealed envelope addressed to the stockholder or director at his
address as it appears on the books of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been
