INFORMATION STATEMENT

General

This Information Statement is being sent to inform the shareholders of LandBridge Company LLC that shareholders holding a majority of the total votes that may be cast generally in the election of directors by holders of all Class A shares representing limited liability company interests in the Company (“Class A shares”) and Class B shares representing limited liability company interests in the Company (“Class B shares” and, together with the Class A shares, the “common shares”), voting together as a single class (a “Share Majority”), took action by written consent to approve the conversion of the Company from a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas (the “Conversion and Redomestication” and the Company, as so converted, the “Texas Corporation”). On August 4, 2026, a committee of our Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), which is a Conflicts Committee for purposes of the Company’s First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated July 1, 2024 (the “Delaware LLC Agreement”), approved the Conversion and Redomestication and the plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) and recommended approval to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors subsequently unanimously adopted resolutions (the “Conversion and Redomestication Resolutions”) approving the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion and directed that the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion be submitted for shareholder approval. On     , 2026, the Consenting Shareholder (as defined below), which owned a Share Majority as of the close of business on August 14, 2026 (the “Record Date”), delivered to the Company a written consent (the “Written Consent”) approving the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion. In this Information Statement, unless the context otherwise requires, “LandBridge Company LLC,” “LandBridge,” the “Company,” the “Delaware LLC,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar expressions refer to LandBridge Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

This Information Statement is being sent on     , 2026 to the Company’s shareholders of record as of the Record Date that did not execute the Written Consent.

We will pay the costs of preparing and sending out the enclosed Notice and this Information Statement. We will require brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our Class A shares and Class B shares and we will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such materials.

The Action by Written Consent

Section 14.8 of the Company’s Delaware LLC Agreement provides that the Company’s shareholders may take action without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the shareholders 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 shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

On     , 2026, LandBridge Holdings LLC (“LandBridge Holdings” or the “Consenting Shareholder”), which holds a Share Majority, delivered to the Company the Written Consent in accordance with Section 14.8 of the Delaware LLC Agreement, pursuant to which the Consenting Shareholder approved the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion.

1

Voting and Vote Required

The Company is not seeking consents, authorizations or proxies from you.

Pursuant to Section 13.3(b) of the Delaware LLC Agreement, the Conversion and Redomestication requires the consent of holders of a Share Majority.

As of the Record Date, there were 29,654,484 Class A shares outstanding and entitled to vote, and 47,430,928 Class B shares outstanding and entitled to vote. As of the Record Date, the Consenting Shareholder held no Class A shares and 47,168,908 Class B shares, representing approximately 61.2% of all outstanding common shares.

Accordingly, delivery of the Written Consent by the Consenting Shareholder representing a Share Majority as of the Record Date, following approval by our Board of Directors, satisfies the requirements of Section 13.3(b) of the Delaware LLC Agreement.

Principal Terms of the Conversion and Redomestication

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved: (i) the Conversion and Redomestication, pursuant to which the Company will be converted from a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas, (ii) the Plan of Conversion included as Appendix B to this Information Statement, and (iii) the Conversion and Redomestication Resolutions included as Appendix A to this Information Statement.

The Conversion and Redomestication will be effected through a conversion pursuant to Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”), and Title 1, Chapter 10, Subchapter C of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”), as set forth in the Plan of Conversion.

Through the adoption of the Plan of Conversion, upon the effective time of the Conversion and Redomestication (the “Effective Time”):

2

In connection with the Conversion and Redomestication, the Company intends to make filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and does not anticipate making any other filings (other than with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) to effect the Conversion and Redomestication. In addition, the Company anticipates updating its corporate guidelines and policies and committee charters, its employee benefit plans and arrangements and certain agreements, including the indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and the OpCo LLC Agreement, in each case, to give effect to the Conversion and Redomestication.

We may face legal challenges to the Conversion and Redomestication, including, among others, shareholder challenges under Delaware law seeking to delay or prevent the Conversion and Redomestication.

The Conversion and Redomestication may be delayed by the Board of Directors, or the Plan of Conversion may be terminated and abandoned by action of the Board of Directors, at any time prior to the Effective Time, if the Board of Directors determines for any reason that such delay or abandonment would be in the best interests of the Company and all of its shareholders.

Background of the Conversion and Redomestication

General

LandBridge is organized as a limited liability company in Delaware. LandBridge is currently ineligible for listing on a number of major U.S. indices, including the S&P, Russell and CRSP indices, due to its structure as a limited liability company. Inclusion in such indices has several potential benefits, such as attracting a larger investor base, enhancing trading liquidity and increasing market visibility.

3

In addition, a large number of U.S. companies have historically chosen Delaware as their state of organization, due to the extensive experience of the Delaware courts in adjudicating corporate and business-related matters, predictable legal outcomes and speedy resolutions, and deference to the judgment of boards of directors, among other reasons. In recent years, however, other states have amended their corporation laws and otherwise sought to make their jurisdictions more attractive as a place of incorporation. Notably, Texas has developed and advanced its corporate law system in an effort to provide a more business-friendly operating environment and a modern and predictable corporate governance framework. As a result, Texas has begun to compete with Delaware for public company incorporations.

The Evaluation of the Conversion and Redomestication by the Board of Directors and the Special Committee

In May 2026, management of the Company commenced discussions with the Board of Directors regarding the potential opportunities with respect to inclusion on certain major U.S. indices and the eligibility requirements for inclusion. In addition, management and the Board of Directors discussed recent developments in the State of Delaware and initiatives by certain other states, including Texas, aimed at enhancing their attractiveness as jurisdictions of incorporation in competition with Delaware.

At a meeting held on June 8, 2026 with representatives of management and Vinson & Elkins LLP (“Vinson & Elkins”), the Board of Directors determined that it would be prudent and advisable for the Company to undertake an evaluation of the relative merits of converting to a corporation to become eligible for inclusion on certain major U.S. indices, and for remaining domiciled in Delaware as compared to domiciliation in another jurisdiction in light of such developments. On June 12, 2026, the Board of Directors delegated authority to the Special Committee to review, evaluate and advise upon the terms of the potential Conversion and Redomestication and any documents related thereto and approve and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on the potential Conversion and Redomestication. The Board of Directors also resolved not to approve the Conversion and Redomestication without prior favorable recommendation of the Special Committee. The directors selected to serve on the Special Committee were Valerie Chase, Ty Daul and Andrea Nicolás. The Board of Directors confirmed that each of Ms. Chase, Mr. Daul and Ms. Nicolás satisfy the applicable criteria for director independence under the Delaware LLC Agreement and NYSE listing standards.

To assist the Special Committee with its work, the Special Committee engaged Baker Botts L.L.P. (“Baker Botts”) as its counsel. The Special Committee determined that Baker Botts is independent of the Company and its affiliates, including the Consenting Shareholder.

The Special Committee reported to the Board of Directors that, since its formation on June 12, 2026, the Special Committee met seven times. All members of the Special Committee were present at all meetings. The Special Committee also received and reviewed a significant amount of written materials and heard presentations from management and its advisors during its process. At the outset, the Special Committee worked with Baker Botts to develop and plan a thorough, well-designed process.

In addition to formal meetings, representatives of each of Vinson & Elkins, counsel to the Company, and Baker Botts, counsel to the Special Committee, convened on multiple occasions throughout the process to discuss certain logistical and procedural matters and the terms of the Texas Charter, Texas Bylaws and the Plan of Conversion. These discussions facilitated the efficient coordination of the Special Committee’s work and ensured that relevant parties were aligned on the process.

The Special Committee first met on June 16, 2026 with representatives of Baker Botts to begin review of the proposed Conversion and Redomestication. At the meeting, the Special Committee reviewed and discussed introductory materials that management had provided to the Special Committee in advance of the meeting, which included, among other things, a discussion about the potential for the Texas Class A shares to be included in additional market indices as a result of the Company’s conversion into a corporation, a comparison of certain aspects of the Delaware LLC Act and the TBOC and the Delaware LLC Agreement and the Texas Charter and

4

the Texas Bylaws, and precedent redomestication transactions. The Special Committee and representatives of Baker Botts then discussed next steps, which included compiling a list of questions for management to address at the Special Committee’s next meeting. Representatives of Baker Botts then reconfirmed each member of the Special Committee’s independence based on independence questionnaires completed by each member of the Special Committee.

On June 18, 2026, the Special Committee held a meeting with representatives of management, Vinson & Elkins and Baker Botts. Representatives of management presented an overview of the introductory materials it had previously provided to the Special Committee and identified for the Special Committee the various factors that it was evaluating in connection with the potential Conversion and Redomestication. Representatives of management also answered questions the Special Committee had compiled and sent to management prior to the meeting. These questions focused on, among other things, the Company’s rationale for considering the proposed Conversion and Redomestication, as well as tax, accounting and contractual considerations, and the potential benefits of index inclusion (which representatives of management indicated further discussion would be forthcoming from a third party with significant experience in U.S. capital markets), in each case, that may be implicated by the proposed Conversion and Redomestication. Throughout such presentation, members of the Special Committee posed various additional questions to representatives of management and Vinson & Elkins regarding the potential benefits and risks of the proposed Conversion and Redomestication. The Special Committee, and representatives of Baker Botts, management and Vinson & Elkins discussed next steps and proposed timeline, including the Company’s sharing initial drafts of the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws with the Special Committee and Baker Botts.

On June 29, 2026, the Special Committee, representatives from Baker Botts and management met to receive a presentation from a third party with significant experience in U.S. capital markets regarding index inclusion considerations, qualification timelines and likely impact on liquidity. Written materials were provided to the Special Committee prior to the meeting. The questions from the Special Committee that had been provided to management in writing prior to the meeting were also addressed. The presentation included information provided by such third party, as well as the requirements and potential impacts of index inclusion, and an executive summary of the Company’s current structure versus the Company’s proposed structure following the potential Conversion and Redomestication, explaining that in its current limited liability company form, even though taxed as a corporation, the Company is only eligible for inclusion in the MSCI US Small Cap Index, of which it is currently a member, because most indices will only consider corporations for inclusion. The Special Committee was advised that, if the Company were to convert to a state law corporation, the new corporate form would allow the Company to be included in certain indices either automatically, given the Company’s size, or after meeting applicable waiting periods or other index-specific admission considerations. Also discussed was the process for inclusion in the various indices, including with respect to timing of inclusion and elements that various indices consider when admitting additional entities. The Special Committee then received information regarding illustrative index demand following the proposed Conversion and Redomestication, including the benefits of increased market visibility, attracting a broader shareholder base (inclusive of funds that use key indices as benchmarks), enhanced liquidity, lower stock price volatility, and stability as a result of sizable passive ownership of index funds as potential benefits from broadened index inclusion. The parties then discussed various questions and issues regarding index inclusion, including with respect to, among other things, timing, market reaction risk, potential benefits to long-term shareholder value, as well as successful and unsuccessful precedent examples.

On July 16, 2026 the Special Committee met with representatives of Baker Botts to discuss drafts of the proposed Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws that had been distributed to the Special Committee prior to the meeting. Representatives of Baker Botts provided input on the draft documents. Baker Botts also further outlined the differences in the corporate law and courts of Delaware and Texas, which included rationales for and against the proposed Conversion and Redomestication. The Special Committee also discussed several non-legal factors, including but not limited to the Company’s relative geographical and business ties to Delaware and Texas and possible changes to insurance premiums for director and officer insurance as a result of the potential Conversion

5

and Redomestication. The Special Committee further considered recent amendments to the TBOC and possible future amendments in light of the evolving legislative environment in Texas.

The Special Committee held a meeting on July 21, 2026 with representatives of Baker Botts, management and Vinson & Elkins. Management and Vinson & Elkins presented materials prepared by Vinson & Elkins to the Special Committee that had been distributed to the Special Committee prior to the meeting. The presentation outlined, among other things, a comparison of the Delaware LLC Agreement and the then-current drafts of the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws, a comparison in shareholder rights such as appraisal rights, rights to approve authorized capital increases and reduced exculpation and indemnification provisions for directors and officers, as well as an illustrative timeline and process to accomplish the Conversion and Redomestication. Throughout the presentation, the Special Committee posed various questions to representatives of management and Vinson & Elkins, and members of the Special Committee, and representatives of Baker Botts, management and Vinson & Elkins had a robust discussion. Management and Vinson & Elkins then indicated they would share revised drafts of the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws as well as a draft of the Information Statement, Conversion and Redomestication Resolutions and Plan of Conversion with the Special Committee and Baker Botts.

On July 29, 2026, the Special Committee met with representatives of Baker Botts. Representatives of Baker Botts delivered a presentation to the Special Committee to outline and discuss the Special Committee’s fiduciary duties arising from the evaluation of the potential Conversion and Redomestication and to discuss comments to the draft of the Information Statement, Redomestication Resolutions and Plan of Conversion that had been distributed to the Special Committee ahead of the meeting. Throughout the meeting, members of the Special Committee asked questions of representatives of Baker Botts, and a robust discussion ensued. Members of the Special Committee and representatives of Baker Botts discussed next steps, which included sharing comments to the Information Statement, Redomestication Resolutions and Plan of Conversion with Vinson & Elkins, and review of the proposed final versions of the Texas Bylaws and Texas Charter.

Recommendation of the Special Committee

At the Special Committee meeting held on August 4, 2026, the Special Committee reviewed and considered the factors and considerations described above under “The Evaluation of the Conversion and Redomestication by the Board of Directors and the Special Committee” and below under “Reasons for the Conversion and Redomestication,” and after evaluating the benefits and potential risks of the proposed Conversion and Redomestication, the Special Committee unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion, determining that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (other than LandBridge Holdings), and recommending that the Board of Directors (i) approve the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion and (ii) direct that the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval.

In addition, the Special Committee considered, among other things, a number of factors relating to the procedural safeguards that it believes were and are present to permit the Special Committee to represent effectively the interests of all of the Company’s shareholders (other than LandBridge Holdings). The Special Committee believes these factors support its determination and recommendations regarding the Conversion and Redomestication. The following procedural safeguards are listed in no particular order:

6

Ultimately, the Special Committee determined that any uncertainties, risks and potential negative factors relevant to the potential Conversion and Redomestication were outweighed by the potential benefits of the potential Conversion and Redomestication. It therefore approved and recommended that the Board of Directors approve and direct the Company’s shareholders to approve the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion.

Reasons for the Conversion and Redomestication

The Special Committee believes that there are multiple reasons the Conversion and Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (other than LandBridge Holdings), including the following reasons (which are not presented in any relative order of importance).

The Conversion and Redomestication may enhance the Company’s eligibility for additional stock index inclusion, broaden the Company’s investor base, improve trading liquidity and increase market visibility.

Most recognized and substantial indices, including key S&P, Russell and CRSP indices, restrict eligibility to corporations. The Special Committee believes that conversion to a corporation (as opposed to leaving the Company in its current limited liability company form) would position the Company for potential inclusion in these more widely followed indices. Such inclusion could increase market visibility, attract a broader shareholder base (inclusive of funds that use key indices as benchmarks), enhance liquidity, lower stock price volatility, and provide stability as a result of the sizable passive ownership of index funds.

The Conversion and Redomestication aligns the Company’s operational and legal homes.

The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, where its principal executive offices and management team are located. The Company also derives the substantial majority of its revenue from its assets and operations in Texas. The redomicile of the Company in Texas would better align the Company’s legal home with the location where most of its business is conducted.

By comparison, the Company has no meaningful connection to Delaware, other than Delaware being its state of formation. The Company has no offices, employees or assets in Delaware. The Company’s executives and management do not operate in Delaware. Delaware was originally chosen as the Company’s state of formation because it is a common domicile for publicly traded U.S. companies. The Special Committee no longer believes Delaware is best suited for the Company’s needs as a jurisdiction of organization, particularly in light of recent developments in Texas corporate law, certain Delaware Chancery Court decisions and the Company’s substantial footprint in Texas.

The Conversion and Redomestication will allow the Company and its shareholders to benefit from local decision-making.

The legislators and judges making and adjudicating corporate law in Texas are drawn from the community in which the Company operates and have extensive familiarity with land surface use and development, including for

7

oil and gas, and the construction and operation of critical infrastructure as well as other industries that are central to the state’s economy. Texas has a long history of developing legal frameworks that address the unique regulatory, operational and commercial considerations facing companies in these industries. Corporate law and litigation often overlap with and impact business, employment and operational matters. The Special Committee believes that Texas-based decision-makers, with their deeper understanding of the energy industry, Texas land ownership and usage and the Company’s operations, are best situated to make decisions that may impact the Company’s corporate governance.

The Conversion and Redomestication reflects Texas’s increasingly competitive position with Delaware with respect to corporate law and the benefits of recent amendments to the TBOC.

The Special Committee considered Texas’s recently modernized TBOC as well as other merits of Texas law and determined that Texas’s approach potentially results in a more favorable legal environment for decision-making than Delaware’s case-law based approach. Case law is inherently indeterminate because it entails broad, flexible standards that are applied to individual cases in a highly fact-specific way. While Delaware has an extensive body of corporate case law, the Special Committee does not believe that even well-developed case law eliminates the inherent difficulty and unpredictability of applying guidance drawn from varying judicial standards and case law precedents to a particular act of corporate decision-making. In addition, Delaware case law has changed over time, in some instances in unexpected ways, without the transparency and stakeholder participation that would be required for statutory amendments. For example, in recent years, certain decisions by Delaware courts struck down governance practices widely thought to be permissible, raising questions among legal scholars and market participants about the predictability of Delaware courts going forward. The Special Committee acknowledges that the Delaware legislature has taken steps to address certain recent judicial decisions, including the enactment of Senate Bill 21 in 2025, which provides a safe harbor for certain conflicted transactions. Although the Delaware Supreme Court has recently upheld the constitutionality of the safe harbor provisions of Section 144 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), the statutory protections depend on the disinterestedness of committee members as determined under the new statutory framework which has yet to be tested. The Special Committee believes that these legislative responses, while constructive, do not fully address the broader trend of uncertainty in Delaware case law, and that Texas’s statute-focused approach provides a more predictable framework.

Texas recently codified the business judgment rule in the TBOC, allowing the Board of Directors to exercise its business judgment in the absence of fraud, intentional misconduct, an ultra vires act or a knowing violation of law. Codification of the business judgment rule provides a clearer and more consistent legal framework for reviewing corporate decisions than relying on case law applying various levels of judicial scrutiny, as is the case in Delaware. The Special Committee believes that this statutory standard should deter non-meritorious claims while preserving meaningful remedies for shareholders in cases involving fraud, intentional misconduct, an ultra vires act or a knowing violation of law.

Other recent amendments to the TBOC provide corporations with a mechanism to petition a court for an evidentiary hearing to confirm that directors appointed to a special committee are independent and disinterested with respect to transactions involving a controlling shareholder, director or officer. This new provision enhances transactional certainty by allowing the court’s determination to be dispositive, thereby reducing the risk of subsequent challenges to the committee’s independence and strengthening protections for minority shareholders in conflicted transactions.

Additionally, Texas has established the Texas Business Courts to preside over certain corporate and commercial claims, similar to Delaware’s business-focused Court of Chancery. The exclusive forum provision in the Texas Charter will enable internal entity claims to be adjudicated in a court with specialized expertise in corporate and commercial matters that promotes consistency in the application of Texas corporate law and reduces the risk and expense associated with duplicative multi-forum litigation.

8

The Special Committee believes these benefits outweigh concerns shareholders may have with respect to the designation of a specific forum.

The Conversion and Redomestication may reduce the risk of opportunistic and frivolous litigation.

The Conversion and Redomestication may reduce the potential for opportunistic and frivolous litigation against the Company and its directors and officers. Texas provides enhanced protections as compared to Delaware with respect to what is often opportunistic and frivolous litigation against directors, officers and controlling shareholders brought at the instigation of a plaintiffs’ bar which looks for potential claims and then solicits shareholders, often with nominal interest in the defendant-company, in order to bring a lawsuit. In order to address this issue, as described below in “Certain Differences in Member/Shareholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law,” Texas limits derivative proceedings by deferring to the decision of an independent board committee regarding the action and by allowing public companies to adopt an ownership percentage of three percent or less that litigants must meet to initiate a claim. The Texas Charter includes an ownership threshold of three percent of the Company’s outstanding stock that must be held for a plaintiff or a group of plaintiffs to initiate a derivative claim, which the Special Committee believes will reduce the filing of what is often opportunistic and frivolous litigation by limiting the ability of persons without a material economic interest in the Company to bring claims that do not materially benefit shareholders as a whole. In addition, shareholders in Texas are required to make a formal written demand on the corporation prior to bringing a derivative claim, stating with particularity the matter that is the subject of the claim and requesting that the corporation take suitable action. Further, a publicly traded Texas corporation may deny books and records inspection demands from shareholders in connection with an active or pending derivative proceeding involving the shareholders or their affiliates, and instead the shareholders are entitled to use a regular discovery process to gain access to materials to support their claims. Texas law also provides that the resolution of a derivative proceeding that results only in additional or amended disclosures being made to shareholders, regardless of materiality, is not an appropriate basis for awarding plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.

The Special Committee considered the increasingly litigious environment in Delaware, which has engendered an increased risk of such opportunistic and frivolous litigation, and observed that such litigation has the potential to cause unnecessary distraction to the Company’s directors and management team and cause the Company to incur significant legal expenses with no tangible benefit to the Company or shareholders. In addition, the increasing frequency of opportunistic and frivolous claims and litigation brought in Delaware has expanded the risks facing directors and officers of public companies, which can act as a deterrent to the most highly qualified management and increase insurance costs. The Special Committee believes that redomiciling to Texas provides a potentially more predictable legal environment and may help the Company better attract and retain qualified management and directors and that the ability to adopt an ownership threshold for derivative claims reduces the risk of opportunistic and frivolous lawsuits. Redomestication may also result in cost savings for the Company and its shareholders, who bear the defense costs for corporate litigation through attorney’s fees, indemnification obligations and increased insurance premiums.

The Special Committee recognizes that derivative litigation can serve an important accountability function for shareholders. The three-percent ownership threshold is designed to prohibit shareholders who lack a material economic interest from bringing frivolous litigation while preserving meaningful remedies for shareholders with a more significant economic stake in the Company.

The Conversion and Redomestication will help ensure shareholder proposals are submitted by shareholders with a meaningful economic interest in the Company.

Under the Texas Charter, the Company has opted into a new TBOC provision that requires shareholders, or groups of shareholders, to, among other requirements, hold continuously for at least six months and through the meeting, voting shares of the company equal to the greater of at least $1 million in market value or three percent of the company’s voting shares in order to submit a shareholder proposal (see the section “Certain Differences

9

Between the Delaware LLC Agreement and the Texas Charter and Bylaws” below). Shareholder proposals are frequently submitted by activist and advocacy groups and other governance gadflies that do not have a significant economic stake in a company. Such proposals occupy a significant amount of management’s time and generally do not pertain to topics that relate to or would be expected to improve a company’s financial performance. The Special Committee believes that the right to submit shareholder proposals should be reserved for shareholders with a meaningful economic stake in the Company.

Risks of the Conversion and Redomestication

The Special Committee also considered the following uncertainties, risks, and potentially countervailing factors in its deliberations concerning the Conversion and Redomestication, which are not intended to be exhaustive and are not presented in any relative order of importance.

Possibility that Benefits Will Not be Realized

Although the Special Committee believes that the Conversion and Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Conversion and Redomestication may not result in all or any of the expected benefits described in this Information Statement.

Delaware Exit Considerations

Although the Special Committee believes that recent Delaware case law can help inform and protect the Special Committee’s decision to consummate the Conversion and Redomestication, the Conversion and Redomestication might still subject the Company to potential litigation regarding its decision to leave Delaware. Regardless of merit, the Conversion and Redomestication may result in litigation, which may result in additional expense and distraction for the Company.

The Company will also incur certain non-recurring costs in connection with the Conversion and Redomestication, including legal and other transaction costs. A majority of these costs have already been incurred or will be incurred regardless of whether the Conversion and Redomestication is ultimately completed. Many of the expenses that will be incurred are difficult to accurately estimate at the present time, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Conversion and Redomestication.

Loss of Extensive Delaware Case Law and Well-Established Court System Could Result in Less Predictability

The Delaware Court of Chancery and Supreme Court are highly respected and experienced business courts with an extensive body of case law. The trials in Delaware are held before expert corporate law judges without a jury. Delaware statutory law is regularly updated by its legislature. The Delaware system has long and widely been lauded for its expertise and ability to adjudicate complex disputes efficiently. The Texas Business Court began operations in September 2024 and the Texas statutory business judgment codification under Senate Bill 29 was signed into law in May 2025 and, thus, a more limited body of case law exists in Texas to provide guidance to directors and officers compared to the body of case law that exists in Delaware. The TBOC can be amended through a legislative process; therefore, a subsequent legislature and Governor could make extensive changes to the TBOC that could negate many or all of the benefits underlying the decision to redomicile to Texas.

Certain Differences in Texas Law and Potential Criticism by Shareholders

The Company may face criticism over its decision to convert its corporate form and redomicile to Texas from shareholders or advisory services, such as Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. or Glass Lewis & Co., which may draw adverse comparisons between Texas law and Delaware law on specific governance points or may generally hold a preference for Delaware incorporation. In particular, proxy advisory firms have expressed concern that limitations on derivative litigation may not serve shareholders’ best interests absent compelling evidence of benefit, and have criticized the codification of the business judgment rule as potentially limiting claims arising from director or officer negligence.

10

The Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws have been drafted with an intent to reflect the provisions of the Delaware LLC Agreement and to retain comparable shareholder economic and voting rights to the extent the Special Committee deemed appropriate and permissible under Texas law, as described below. Moreover, the Texas Charter provides a number of additional shareholder rights and provisions that are statutory requirements under the TBOC and that do not exist in the Delaware LLC Agreement. The Special Committee considers these rights and provisions, which include appraisal rights, rights to approve authorized capital increases and reduced exculpation and indemnification provisions for directors and officers, to be beneficial to shareholders.

Further, the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws provide that special shareholder meetings may be called by shareholders (the right may be exercised by 50% (or the highest percentage then permitted under the TBOC) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting). This right is not available to shareholders under the Delaware LLC Agreement at the time our founders no longer collectively beneficially own or control the voting of more than 40% of the aggregate voting shares, voting as a single class, in the Company. The Special Committee acknowledges that the 50% threshold, which represents the current statutory maximum under the TBOC, may be difficult for shareholders to satisfy in practice. The Special Committee determined that this threshold appropriately balances the right of shareholders to convene special meetings against the risk of disruption from frequent special meeting requests. Even if the TBOC were amended in the future to set a higher standard to exercise the right to call a special shareholder meeting, the Special Committee acknowledges that this right is not available to shareholders at all under the Delaware LLC Agreement at the time our founders no longer collectively beneficially own or control the voting of more than 40% of the aggregate voting shares, voting as a single class, in the Company.

Redomestication to Texas puts certain limitations on stockholder derivative lawsuits. Unlike Delaware, Texas limits derivative proceedings by requiring a formal written demand on the corporation (whereas, in Delaware, a stockholder can bring a derivative proceeding without first making a litigation demand on the corporation’s board if the stockholder can adequately allege demand futility). Absent an issue with the independence and disinterestedness of the directors making the decision, the good faith of the inquiry and review, or the reasonableness of the procedures implemented, the board’s decision as to the action is binding on Texas courts. In addition, the Texas Charter requires a three-percent share ownership threshold for the initiation of derivative proceedings, as permitted by the TBOC (see the section “Certain Differences Between the Delaware LLC Agreement and the Texas Charter and Bylaws” below). Lastly, a publicly traded Texas corporation may deny books and records inspection demands from shareholders in connection with an active or pending derivative proceeding involving the shareholders or their affiliates, and instead the shareholders are entitled to use a regular discovery process to gain access to materials to support their claims.

Non-U.S. holders may be required to satisfy certain tax reporting and additional requirements for nonrecognition treatment of the Conversion and Redomestication to apply with respect to such non-U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes if we are considered to be a United States real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Assuming that the Conversion and Redomestication is completed as currently contemplated, the Company intends that the Conversion and Redomestication qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and the Company intends to report the Conversion and Redomestication consistent with such qualification. Assuming the Conversion and Redomestication qualifies for such treatment as a “reorganization,” a U.S. holder of Class A shares and/or Class B shares generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the conversion of Class A shares and/or Class B shares into Texas Class A shares or Texas Class B shares, as applicable, pursuant to the Conversion and Redomestication. Please see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Conversion and Redomestication” below.

However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Conversion and Redomestication may differ for certain non-U.S. holders of our Class A shares and/or Class B shares. We believe that we are a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming that we are a

11

USRPHC, non-U.S. holders that hold, actually or constructively, more than five percent of our Class A shares (or have held more than five percent of our Class A shares at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the Conversion and Redomestication or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such Class A shares) may be required to satisfy certain tax reporting and additional requirements for nonrecognition treatment of the Conversion and Redomestication to apply with respect to such non-U.S. holders. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Conversion and Redomestication.

Interests of Certain Persons

As described under the headings “What Changes After the Conversion and Redomestication? —Certain Differences in Member/Shareholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law,” Texas law may be deemed to provide greater protection than Delaware to officers, directors, and LandBridge Holdings as a controlling shareholder of the Company for some potential liabilities or claims that may arise after the Conversion and Redomestication. The Special Committee has considered these potential interests, among other matters, in reaching the decision to approve and recommend the Board of Directors approve the Conversion and Redomestication and the Plan of Conversion and direct that the Plan of Conversion be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval.

Because no Named Executive Officer of the Company will receive any compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the Conversion and Redomestication, no golden parachute compensation arrangements exist that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K.

What Changes After the Conversion and Redomestication?

The Conversion and Redomestication will effect a change in the state of incorporation of the Company and other changes, the most significant of which are described below. Following the Conversion and Redomestication, we will be governed by the TBOC instead of the Delaware LLC Act, and we will be governed by the Texas Charter and the Texas Bylaws instead of the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware LLC Agreement. Copies of the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws are included as Appendix C and Appendix D, respectively, to this Information Statement.

Certain Differences Between the Delaware LLC Agreement and the Texas Charter and the Texas Bylaws

The following discussion is a summary of the material differences between the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws and the Delaware LLC Agreement. This summary does not cover all the differences between the Delaware LLC Agreement and the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws. This summary is subject to the complete text of the relevant provisions of the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws and the Delaware LLC Agreement. We encourage you to read those documents carefully.

Certain Differences in Member/Shareholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law

The statutory laws of Texas, as governed by the TBOC, differ in certain respects from those of Delaware applicable to a limited liability company, as governed by the Delaware LLC Act. There are differences between what your rights are as a Member of the Company under Delaware law and what your rights will be as a shareholder of the Texas Corporation under Texas law. The following are brief summaries of certain legal considerations relating to the current rights of members of a Delaware limited liability company and the shareholders of a Texas corporation and the governance of a company in Delaware and in Texas.

The following discussion does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the TBOC and the Delaware LLC Act, the Delaware LLC Agreement, the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws, and the body of case law in both jurisdictions, and some of the differences in the legal considerations below may not affect you in light of the provisions of the Delaware LLC Agreement, the Texas Charter and Texas Bylaws.

Certain Matters That Will Not Change After Conversion and Redomestication

Apart from being governed by the Texas Charter, the Texas Bylaws and the TBOC, upon completion of the Conversion and Redomestication, the Company will continue to exist, without interruption, in the form of a Texas corporation. By virtue of the Conversion and Redomestication, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Company, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the Company, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Company, will remain vested in the Texas Corporation and will be the property of the Texas Corporation. In addition, the Texas Corporation will have all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the same may be enforced against the Texas Corporation.

No Change in Business, Jobs or Physical Location

The Conversion and Redomestication will not result in any change in business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of our offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities, net worth of the Company (other than as a result of the costs related to the Conversion and Redomestication), or state of organization of any subsidiary of the Company.

Our management, including all directors and officers and the positions they respectively hold, will be unchanged as a result of the Conversion and Redomestication. To the extent that the Conversion and Redomestication will require the consent or waiver of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent or waiver before completing the Conversion and Redomestication. The Company has identified no material consent or waiver requirements to date, including under the indenture and credit agreement governing the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, as most of its operations are conducted by subsidiaries and has not identified any such required consent will impede its ability to complete the Conversion and Redomestication. The Board of Directors of the Texas Corporation is expected to continue to evaluate conflicted transactions in the future to determine whether it is necessary or advisable to impanel a special committee to approve such transactions. The Conversion and Redomestication will not otherwise adversely affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under such material contractual arrangements will continue as rights and obligations of the Texas Corporation.

44

No Impact on NYSE Listing or SEC Reporting Obligations

We will continue to be a publicly held company following completion of the Conversion and Redomestication, and our Texas Class A shares will continue to be traded on NYSE and NYSE Texas under the symbol “LB.” The Company will continue to file required periodic reports and other documents with the SEC. There is not expected to be any interruption in the trading of the Texas Class A shares as a result of the Conversion and Redomestication. Except as described herein, we and our shareholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Conversion and Redomestication as we and our shareholders were prior to the Conversion and Redomestication.

No Action in Respect of Share Ownership

The Company does not issue certificated common shares. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Class A share and Class B share will automatically be converted into one Texas Class A share or Texas Class B share, respectively, and any book-entry entitlements you then hold will represent the same number of shares of the Texas Corporation as they represented of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

No Material Accounting Implications

Effecting the Conversion and Redomestication is not expected to have any material accounting implications.

Legal Proceedings

The Company does not have any legal proceedings pending in Delaware.

Regulatory Matters

In connection with the Conversion and Redomestication, the Company intends to make filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and does not anticipate making any other filings (other than with the Securities and Exchange Commission) to effect the Conversion and Redomestication.

Anti-Takeover Implications of the Conversion and Redomestication

The Conversion and Redomestication is not being effected to prevent a sale of the Company, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to the Board of Directors to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on the Board of Directors. Moreover, as of the Record Date, LandBridge Holdings is able to exercise significant voting rights with respect to the Company’s outstanding shares, and accordingly has the ability to discourage or delay any attempt to acquire control of the Company. Nevertheless, certain effects of the Conversion and Redomestication may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of the Company being governed by Texas law.

A hostile takeover attempt may have a positive or negative effect on the Company and its shareholders, depending on the circumstances surrounding a particular takeover attempt. Takeover attempts that have not been negotiated or approved by the Board of Directors can be opportunistically timed to take advantage of an artificially depressed stock price. Takeover attempts can also be coercively structured, can disrupt the business, employee base, customer base and management of a corporation and can generally present a risk of terms that may be less favorable than would be available in a board-approved transaction. In contrast, transactions approved by the Board of Directors or a special committee or conflicts committee thereof may be carefully planned and undertaken at an opportune time in order to obtain maximum value for the Company and all of its shareholders by determining and pursuing the best strategic alternative, obtaining negotiating leverage to achieve the best terms available, and giving due consideration to matters such as tax planning, the management and business of

45

the acquiring corporation and the most effective deployment of corporate assets. The Board of Directors believes that the potential disadvantages of unapproved takeover attempts are sufficiently great that prudent measures are needed to give the Board of Directors the time and flexibility to determine and pursue potentially superior strategic alternatives and take other appropriate action in an effort to maximize shareholder value.

Delaware law and the Delaware LLC Agreement contain provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeover attempts. Texas law includes some additional features that may deter hostile takeover attempts. Texas law currently prevents a board of directors from filling more than two vacancies caused by an increase in the size of the board of directors between any two annual meetings of shareholders. Another potential area of difference involves cash-out transactions and “Revlon duties.” Texas law allows directors to take into account “the long-term and short-term interests of the corporation and the shareholders of the corporation, including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation.” Similarly, under Delaware law, the decision whether to sell the company or “just say no” is a business judgment for the board of directors in which they can take into account the corporation’s long-term interests. But once the board of directors determines to pursue a change of control transaction, Delaware law requires the directors to act reasonably to obtain the best price available while Texas law provides that directors may continue to benefit from the business judgment rule standard.

The Board of Directors may in the future propose other measures designed to address hostile takeovers apart from those discussed in this Information Statement, if warranted from time to time in the judgment of the Board of Directors.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Conversion and Redomestication

The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Conversion and Redomestication to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Class A shares and/or Class B shares who receive Texas Class A shares and/or Texas Class B shares upon the conversion of their Class A shares or Class B shares, respectively, pursuant to the Conversion and Redomestication. This discussion is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial interpretations thereof and published rulings and other positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), each as in effect as of the date of this Information Statement, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this discussion. The U.S. federal income tax laws are complex and subject to varying interpretation. The Company has not sought, and does not intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the positions or conclusions described in the following summary, and there can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position.

The following discussion is limited to U.S. holders that hold their Class A shares or Class B shares, as applicable, as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is not a complete description of all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Conversion and Redomestication, nor does it address (i) any tax consequences arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction or under any U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation or (ii) the tax consequences of owning and disposing of Texas Class A shares or Texas Class B shares received in the Conversion and Redomestication. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular U.S. holders of Class A shares and/or Class B shares in light of their individual circumstances (including the impact of the Medicare surtax on certain net investment income) or to U.S. holders of Class A shares and/or Class B shares that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

46

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONVERSION AND REDOMESTICATION TO A HOLDER OF CLASS A SHARES OR CLASS B SHARES MAY BE COMPLEX AND WILL DEPEND ON SUCH HOLDER’S SPECIFIC SITUATION AND FACTORS NOT WITHIN THE COMPANY’S CONTROL. HOLDERS OF CLASS A SHARES AND/OR CLASS B SHARES ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONVERSION AND REDOMESTICATION TO THEM IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Class A shares and/or Class B shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Class A shares or Class B shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partnership or partner level. Accordingly, if you are a partner in a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that holds Class A shares or Class B shares, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of the Conversion and Redomestication.

Assuming that the Conversion and Redomestication is completed as currently contemplated, the Company intends that the Conversion and Redomestication qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of

47

Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and the Company intends to report the Conversion and Redomestication consistent with such qualification. However, the Company has not sought, and does not intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS regarding the qualification of the Conversion and Redomestication as a reorganization, and there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to the treatment of the Conversion and Redomestication as a reorganization.

Assuming the Conversion and Redomestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, then, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

If a U.S. holder of Class A shares and/or Class B shares holds different blocks of Class A shares and/or Class B shares (generally, shares acquired at different times or at different prices), such U.S. holder’s basis and holding period in its Texas Class A shares or Texas Class B shares, as applicable, may be determined separately with reference to each block of Class A shares or Class B shares, as applicable. Any such U.S. holder should consult with its tax advisor with respect to the determination of the tax bases and holding periods of the particular Class A shares or Class B shares, as applicable, converted into such Texas Class A shares or Texas Class B shares, as applicable.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO U.S. HOLDERS OF THE CONVERSION AND REDOMESTICATION. IT IS NOT A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER. ALL HOLDERS OF CLASS A SHARES AND/OR CLASS B SHARES ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONVERSION AND REDOMESTICATION TO THEM, INCLUDING TAX REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

Shareholder Appraisal Rights

NEITHER HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS A SHARES NOR HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS B SHARES ARE ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE CONVERSION AND REDOMESTICATION DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common shares outstanding by:

48

The amounts of common shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. In addition, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that the person has the right to acquire within sixty days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 29,654,484 Class A shares and 47,430,928 Class B shares outstanding as of the Record Date. All information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished, or filed with the SEC, by the respective shareholders, directors and executive officers, as the case may be, as of the Record Date. Unless otherwise noted, the mailing address of each listed beneficial owner under “5% Shareholders” and “Directors and Executive Officers” is c/o LandBridge Company LLC, 5555 San Felipe Street, Suite 1200, Houston, Texas 77056.

49

Delivery of Documents to Security Holders Sharing an Address

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process is commonly referred to as “householding.” If you wish to opt out of householding, and would like separate copies of this Information Statement mailed to each shareholder sharing your address, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive a single copy, you can notify us by sending a written request to LandBridge Company LLC, c/o Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 or by calling Broadridge at 1-866-540-7095 and we will promptly deliver additional materials as requested. Beneficial owners (street name shareholders) sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of this Information Statement and other shareholder communications and who wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future will need to contact their bank, broker or other nominee to request that only a single copy of such materials be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the future.

This Information Statement is provided to the shareholders of the Company only for information purposes in connection with the Consenting Shareholder’s approval of the Conversion and Redomestication, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.

RESOLUTIONS OF

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

LANDBRIDGE COMPANY LLC

Adopted at a meeting held on August 4, 2026

The Board of Directors (the “Board” and each a “Director”) of LandBridge Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), hereby approves and adopts the following recitals and resolutions and the actions herein authorized as the acts of the Board. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in that certain First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated as of July 1, 2024 (the “LLCA”).

CONVERSION TO TEXAS CORPORATION

WHEREAS, the Company is a Delaware limited liability company;

WHEREAS, the Company has been considering a conversion and redomestication of the Company from a Delaware limited liability company to a Texas corporation in order to, among other things, become eligible for inclusion in certain indexes such as the S&P SmallCap 600, S&P Completion, Russell 2000, Russell 1000 and CRSP indexes (the “Potential Conversion”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Written Consent of the Board of Directors of LandBridge Company LLC, dated as of June 12, 2026, as amended on July 31, 2026 (the “Special Committee Written Consent”), the Board established a conflicts committee of the Board (the “Conversion Special Committee”) consisting of Independent Directors to review the material facts of, evaluate and advise upon the terms and conditions of the Potential Conversion pursuant to the proposed Plan of Conversion in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Plan of Conversion”) and related arrangements on behalf of the Company and the holders of Shares other than the Sponsor Group;

CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION

OF

LANDBRIDGE CORPORATION

LandBridge Corporation (the “Corporation”), a for-profit corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the Texas Business Organizations Code, as amended from time to time (the “TBOC”), does hereby certify:

1. LandBridge Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Delaware Company”), with its principal place of business at 5555 San Felipe Street, Suite 1200, Houston, TX 77056, was originally formed on September 27, 2023.

2. The Delaware Company was converted into a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas under the name “LandBridge Corporation” on [●], 2026, pursuant to a plan of conversion under which the Delaware Company converted to the Corporation.

ARTICLE I.

The name of the Corporation is LandBridge Corporation. The Corporation is a for-profit corporation.

ARTICLE II.

The Corporation was formed under a plan of conversion. The Corporation was formed previously in the State of Delaware on September 27, 2023, as LandBridge Company LLC, a limited liability company.

The address of the initial registered office of the Corporation in the State of Texas is 1501 South MoPac Expressway, Suite 220, Austin, Texas 78746-7541, and the name of the registered agent at that address is Capitol Services, Inc. The initial mailing address of the Corporation is 5555 San Felipe Street, Suite 1200, Houston, TX 77056.

ARTICLE IV.

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful business for which business corporations may be organized under the TBOC as it now exists or may hereafter be amended and supplemented. The duration of the Corporation is perpetual.

ARTICLE V.

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation will have authority to issue is 900,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of which 300,000,000 shares shall be a series designated as Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and 500,000,000 shares shall be a series designated as Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”) and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

C-1

Subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased, but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding, by the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, and, to the extent permitted by Section 21.364(d) of the TBOC, no vote of the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

The designations and the powers, preferences, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation are as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, any issuance, redemption, repurchase, acquisition, subdivision, combination or similar transaction involving capital stock of the Corporation must be accompanied by a corresponding transaction with respect to the OpCo Units (as defined below) to the extent required by the OpCo LLC Agreement (as defined below).

A. Common Stock.

1. Equal Status; General. Except as otherwise provided herein, including in Sections A.3., A.5. and A.6. of this Article V, or as required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights, privileges, preferences and powers, rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters. The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, powers and preferences of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and qualified by, the rights, powers and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) and outstanding from time to time.

2. Quorum; Voting. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, this Certificate of Formation (this “Certificate of Formation” which term, as used herein, shall mean the certificate of formation of the Corporation, as amended and/or restated from time to time) or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”), the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that, when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of capital stock voting as a separate class, the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series entitled to vote at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. Except as otherwise provided herein or as expressly required by a nonwaivable provision of the TBOC, at all meetings of shareholders and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation generally, (i) each holder of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall have one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder, and (ii) each holder of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall have one (1) vote per share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder; provided, that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Formation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Formation (including any Certificate of Designation (as defined below)) or pursuant to the TBOC. Subject to the other provisions of this Certificate of Formation, each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Class A Common Stock, and shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law, and shall be entitled to vote, together with the holders of Class A Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Class A Common Stock have the right to vote. There shall be no cumulative voting. As authorized by Section 21.365 of the TBOC, unless otherwise stated in this Certificate of Formation, any action of the Corporation which, under the provisions of the TBOC or any other applicable law, is required to be authorized or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares entitled to vote which is in excess of the majority of all of the then outstanding shares of

C-2

capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such action shall, notwithstanding any such provision, be deemed effectively and properly authorized or approved if authorized or approved by the vote of the holders of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Without limit the generality of the foregoing, the approval of (i) any “fundamental action” as defined in Section 21.364 of the TBOC or (ii) any “fundamental business transaction” as defined in Section 1.002 of the TBOC requires the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Certificate of Formation, and notwithstanding any provision of the TBOC, but as permitted by TBOC Section 21.365(b)(2), all classes or series of capital stock shall only be entitled to vote as together a single class or series, and separate voting by class or series is not required, for the purpose of approving any matter for which the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares of a class or series is required by the TBOC, including in connection with any “fundamental action” as defined in Section 21.364 of the TBOC or a “fundamental business transaction” as defined in Section 1.002 of the TBOC. If, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, all classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation are only entitled to vote as a single class, and separate voting by class or series is not required, for the purpose of approving a matter, shares of a class or series of shares that do not otherwise have the right to vote under this Certificate of Formation shall be treated as having no votes in the vote as a single class on that matter, in accordance with TBOC Section 21.364(e-1); provided, that, if a class or series of shares is nevertheless entitled to vote as a class or series on any “fundamental action” as defined in Section 21.364 of the TBOC, then unless otherwise stated in this Certificate of Formation, the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation of such class or series shall be necessary to approve such “fundamental action”.

3. Dividends. Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them such dividends (payable in cash, shares or otherwise), if any, as may be declared thereon by the Board in its discretion at any time and from time to time out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor in compliance with the TBOC. Dividends shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock unless (a) the dividend consists of shares of Class B Common Stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into, or exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Class B Common Stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock and (b) a dividend consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into, or exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Class A Common Stock on equivalent terms is simultaneously paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock. If dividends are declared on the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock that are payable in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Common Stock, the dividends payable to the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Class A Common Stock), the dividends payable to the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Class B Common Stock), and such dividends shall be paid in the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for, the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a share basis of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively).

4. Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications. Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class of Common Stock are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership among the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and a

C-3

corresponding number of OpCo Units are split, divided or combined in accordance with the OpCo LLC Agreement.

5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of any Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the dissolution, distribution of assets, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders in proportion to the number of shares held by each such shareholder. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any dissolution, distribution of assets, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

6. Redemption of and Transfer Restrictions Applicable to Class B Common Stock

(a) No Redemption of Class A Common Stock. The holders of Class A Common Stock shall not have any right to redeem shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of any other class of capital stock of the Corporation.

(b) Optional Redemption of Class B Common Stock. At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be redeemable, at any time or from time to time, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the OpCo LLC Agreement. Each holder of Class B Common Stock who elects to redeem the same into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the OpCo LLC Agreement shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, shall comply with such procedures as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require), duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to redeem the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (and the corresponding number of OpCo Units) being redeemed. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, register such shares in book-entry form) for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such Redemption (as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement). Such Redemption shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock to be redeemed (or compliance with such uncertificated share procedures), and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such Redemption shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date. If a Redemption under this Article V.A.6(b) is made in connection with an underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Redemption may, at the option of the holder tendering shares of Class B Common Stock for Redemption, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the holders making such elections who are entitled to receive Class A Common Stock upon redemption of their Class B Common Stock shall not be deemed to have redeemed such shares of Class B Common Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of the Corporation’s securities in the offering.

(c) Status of Redeemed Class B Common Stock. In the event any shares of Class B Common Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to this Article V.A.6, the shares of Class B Common Stock so redeemed shall be cancelled and shall not be reissuable by the Corporation.

(d) Transfer of Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no shares of Class B Common Stock may be transferred unless a corresponding number of OpCo Units are transferred therewith in accordance with the OpCo LLC Agreement.

7. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the Redemption of

C-4

the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the Redemption of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the Redemption of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

8. Definitions.

(a) “OpCo” shall mean DBR Land Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company or its applicable successors or assigns.

(b) “OpCo LLC Agreement” shall mean the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of OpCo, as it may be amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time.

(c) “OpCo Units” shall mean units representing limited liability company interests in OpCo.

B. Preferred Stock.

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of such series adopted by the Board as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

In accordance with Section 21.155 of the TBOC, authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and to determine and fix the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each such series and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the establishment and issuance of such series of Preferred Stock, all to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the TBOC. The Board is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series issued as of the time of such decrease) the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock established by the Board pursuant to Section 21.155 of the TBOC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the designation and issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by applicable law and this Certificate of Formation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock (a “Certificate of Designation”)). Except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Certificate of Formation (including any Certificate of Designation).

The names and addresses of the directors constituting the initial Board are as follows:

C. Term, Removal and Resignation.

1. Until the first date on which the Founding Shareholders no longer collectively beneficially own or control the voting of more than forty percent (40%) of the Voting Shares (the “Trigger Event”), the directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall consist of a single class, with the initial term of office to expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders following the date hereof, and each director shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Prior to the Trigger Event, at each annual meeting of shareholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders after his or her election, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

2. On and after the Trigger Event, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into

C-8

three classes, as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible, with the initial term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of shareholders following the Trigger Event, the initial term of office of the second class to expire at the second annual meeting of shareholders following the Trigger Event, and the initial term of office of the third class to expire at the third annual meeting of shareholders following the Trigger Event, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Following such initial term, each director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting of shareholders at which such director was elected. LBH shall assign members of the Board, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class or from the death, resignation or removal from office of a director or other cause shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

3. Prior to the Trigger Event, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect and/or remove directors, any director may be removed from time to time and at any time, either with or without cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of the director or directors.

4. On and after the Trigger Event, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect and/or remove directors and except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Formation, any director may be removed only for cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class and acting at a meeting of shareholders in accordance with this Certificate of Formation. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, “cause” for the removal of a director shall be deemed to exist only if the director whose removal is proposed: (1) has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction and that conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal; (2) has been found to have been grossly negligent in the performance of his or her duties to the Corporation in any matter of substantial importance to the Corporation by (a) the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the disinterested directors then in office at any meeting of the Board called for that purpose or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction; or (3) has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LBH provides notice to the Corporation to remove a director designated by LBH, the Corporation shall take all necessary action to cause such removal, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

5. Any director may resign at any time by giving notice of such director’s resignation in writing to the Corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein. Unless otherwise specified therein, the Corporation’s acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make such resignation effective. The vacancy in the Board caused by any such resignation shall be filled by the Board as provided in Section VI.D.

D. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, and except as otherwise provided in the TBOC, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, or (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, at an annual or special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. Any director elected to fill a newly created directorship or vacancy in accordance with this Section VI.D shall hold office until the same date as the date on which the term of the other directors of his or her class shall

C-9

end, or in the case of a newly created directorship the class designated by the Board, and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.

E. Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right as provided for herein (including any Certificate of Designation), voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Formation (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section VI.E, during the period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right to elect additional directors, the number of directors to be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section VI.B, and the total number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be automatically increased by such number of directors to be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock and each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Formation (including any Certificate of Designation), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

ARTICLE VII.

A. Limitation of Personal Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, directors and officers of the Corporation will not be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in such person’s capacity as a director or officer, except for liability for (i) any breach of such person’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith that constitute a breach of duty to the Corporation or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of applicable law, (iii) any transaction from which such person derived any improper benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of such person’s duties or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of such person is expressly provided for by an applicable statute. If the TBOC is amended hereafter to authorize the further limitation of the personal liability of directors or officers, then the limitation on personal liability provided in this Article VII will, without the necessity of further action by the Corporation or the Board, be modified to provide such limitation to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC as so amended.

B. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted, or replaced, the Corporation is authorized to indemnify, and provide advancement of expenses to, its directors, officers, employees and agents (and any other persons to which the TBOC permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through provisions in the Bylaws, agreements with such directors, officers, employees, agents or other persons, the vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

C. Amendments to Article VII. Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII or adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of Formation inconsistent with this Article VII will, unless otherwise required by the TBOC, not adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer, employee, agent, or other person existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director, officer, employee, agent or other person of the Corporation with respect to, any acts or omissions of such director, officer, employee, agent or other person occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

C-10

ARTICLE VIII.

A. Ownership Requirement for Derivative Proceedings. The Corporation affirmatively elects to be governed by Section 21.419 of the TBOC and any successor provision thereto. During any time that the Corporation has any series of Common Stock listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in Section 1.002(55-a) of the TBOC) or has 500 or more shareholders, no shareholder (as defined in Section 21.551(2) of the TBOC) of the Corporation may institute or maintain a derivative proceeding in the right of the Corporation unless such shareholder, at the time the derivative proceeding is instituted, holds at least three percent (3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, the provisions of this Section VIII.A.

B. Ownership Requirement for Shareholder Proposals. The Corporation affirmatively elects to be governed by Section 21.373 of the TBOC, including the requirement that to submit a proposal on a matter to the shareholders for approval at a meeting of shareholders, a shareholder or group of shareholders must (in addition to the other requirements of this Certificate of Formation and the Bylaws) (i) hold an amount of voting shares (as defined in Section 21.373 of the TBOC) of the Corporation, determined as of the date of submission of the proposal, equal to the greater of at least: $1,000,000 in market value or three percent (3%) of the Corporation’s voting shares (as defined above); (ii) hold the shares described by clause (i) for a continuous period of at least six months before the date of the meeting and throughout the entire duration of the meeting and (iii) solicit the holders of shares representing at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the proposal (provided that the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) do not apply to director nominations and procedural resolutions that are ancillary to the conduct of the meeting to the extent provided for by the TBOC), during any time that (i) the Corporation’s principal office is located in the State of Texas or (ii) the Corporation is admitted to listing on a stock exchange that (A) has its principal office in the State of Texas and (B) has received approval by the securities commissioner of the State of Texas under Subchapter C, Chapter 4005, Government Code of the State of Texas. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, the provisions of this Section VIII.B.

ARTICLE IX.

A. Shareholder Meetings. Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Texas, as the Bylaws may provide. To the extent permitted by the TBOC, the books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Texas at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws.

B. Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Prior to the Trigger Event, any action required or permitted by the TBOC to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by holders of such outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action that is the subject of the consent at a meeting in which each shareholder is present and votes. After the Trigger Event, any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all holders of outstanding shares of capital Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such action; provided that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation. Any such action taken by written consent pursuant to this Section IX.B shall be delivered to the Corporation at its principal office.

C. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock permitting the holders of such series of Preferred Stock to call a special meeting of the holders of such series,

C-11

special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by the Chief Executive Officer, or if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President of the Corporation, in each case to the extent he or she is in good standing with the Board and as required by the TBOC, the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board or the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) (or the highest percentage permitted under the TBOC) of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such special meeting made in accordance with the provisions and requirements of the Bylaws.

D. Affiliated Business Combinations. The Corporation shall not be governed by Title 2, Chapter 21, Subchapter M of the TBOC (Sections 21.601 through 21.610) (“Subchapter M”), and the restrictions contained in Subchapter M shall not apply to the Corporation, until the first date on which LBH ceases to be an “affiliated shareholder” for purposes of Subchapter M. The Corporation shall thereafter be governed by Subchapter M if and for so long as Subchapter M by its terms shall apply to the Corporation, provided that, after such date, no member of the Sponsor Group shall be considered an “affiliated shareholder” or an “affiliate” or “associate” thereof for purposes of such provisions.

ARTICLE X.

A. Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Texas Business Court in the Eleventh Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “Business Court”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any of the filing, adjudication and trial of: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or any other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s shareholders, including any claim alleging a conspiracy to breach a fiduciary duty, knowing participation in a breach of a fiduciary duty, or aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, or other employee of the Corporation pursuant to any provision of the TBOC or this Certificate of Formation or the Bylaws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate of Formation or the Bylaws; (v) any action asserting a claim related to or involving the Corporation that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine; (vi) any other action asserting an “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in Section 2.115 of the TBOC, and (vii) any other action within the jurisdiction of the Business Court, including any claims within the supplemental jurisdiction of the Business Court (each, an “Internal Dispute”). Any person or entity holding or purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to (A) the provisions of this Article X and (B) the personal jurisdiction and venue in the Business Court, the Federal Court (as defined below) and the Harris County Court (as defined below). Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Federal Court shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (in each case, as may be amended from time to time).

B. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. UNLESS THE CORPORATION CONSENTS IN WRITING TO A JURY TRIAL, THE CORPORATION AND EACH SHAREHOLDER, DIRECTOR, AND OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, CROSS-CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY “INTERNAL ENTITY CLAIM” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.115 OF THE TBOC, AND EACH SHAREHOLDER AGREES THAT SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S HOLDING OR ACQUISITION OF SHARES OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPTIONS OR RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE SHARES OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION CONSTITUTES SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S INTENTIONAL AND KNOWING WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS.

C-12

C. Collective Proceedings. Internal Disputes subject to resolution under this Article X must be brought only as an individual action or derivative proceeding, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may not be brought as a class action, mass action, or other form of collective action, and may not be consolidated or joined, in whole or in part, consistent with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure; provided that the Corporation at its sole option may elect to seek consolidation or joinder of matters as consistent with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.

D. Arbitration.

1. To the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that an Internal Dispute is not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum or jurisdiction of the Business Court, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, this Article X.D shall apply to any such Internal Disputes that are not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum, or jurisdiction, of such courts (an “Other Dispute”).

2. Other Disputes shall be exclusively and finally settled by arbitration under the Expedited Procedure Provisions of the Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), pursuant to Article 30 thereof, or as those rules may be periodically updated, irrespective of the amount in dispute.

3. Arbitration pursuant to this Article X.D shall be governed by the Texas Arbitration Act. The governing law of any Other Dispute shall be the federal law of the United States or the law of the State of Texas, as applicable to the issues raised in the Other Dispute. The governing law expressly includes all requirements imposed by applicable law, including without limitation the pleading and discovery limitations of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

4. Other Disputes must be brought only as an individual action or a derivative proceeding (with derivative proceedings being separately subject to the requirements and limitations stated in Article VIII), and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may not be brought as a class action, mass action, or other form of collective action, and may not be consolidated or joined, in whole or in part, consistent with the Arbitration Rules; provided that the Corporation at its sole option may elect to seek consolidation or joinder of matters as consistent with the Arbitration Rules.

5. The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator (if the claim is $5,000,000 or less) or three arbitrators (if the claim exceeds $5,000,000). If the arbitration is conducted by three arbitrators, within 30 days after delivery of the request for arbitration, one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of (i) the shareholder(s) and (ii) the Corporation. In the event a party fails to appoint an arbitrator within this time period, the ICC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators appointed in accordance with the above provisions shall appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment. If the first two appointed arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator within this time period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The third arbitrator shall serve as a chair of the tribunal.

6. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.

7. Except as provided below, the Corporation shall pay the fees of the ICC (including the initial administrative filing fee) and the arbitrator(s).

(a) If more than three claims arising from the same or similar conduct, transaction, or occurrence are submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Article X.D within any three-year period, all but the first-filed claim shall be stayed pending final resolution of such first-filed claim. In such circumstance, the Corporation and each shareholder asserting such a claim shall bear equal shares of the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees. Provided, however, that if any shareholder party or parties are ultimately successful on all of their claims, the Corporation shall reimburse the successful shareholder party or parties for the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees paid by such shareholder party or parties in accordance with this Article X.D.7(a). Following resolution of the first-filed claim, the Corporation and each shareholder asserting a claim that was stayed shall negotiate in good faith to resolve

C-13

their disputes with the benefit of the resolution of the first-filed claim. For purposes of this section, resolution of the first-filed claim shall mean either the date that a final, unappealable judgment is entered confirming or vacating any final award, or the effective date of any agreement to resolve such claim informally. If, despite such good faith negotiations, the Corporation and any such shareholder shall be unable to resolve their disputes, the arbitration initiated by such shareholder may proceed at the request of either party not less than 90 days after resolution of the first-filed claim.

(b) If more than three claims are submitted by the same shareholder(s) within any three-year period pursuant to this Article X.D.7, then the Corporation shall pay the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees associated with the first three claims only. Provided, however, that if any shareholder party or parties are ultimately successful on all of their claims, the Corporation shall reimburse the successful shareholder party or parties for the ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees paid by such shareholder party or parties in accordance with this Article X.D.7(b).

(c) If any claim submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Article X.D.7 is determined by the tribunal to be frivolous, without reasonable cause, or for an improper purpose such as bad faith or vexatious litigation, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in defending against such claim, including any ICC fees and arbitrator(s) fees.

8. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

9. This Article constitutes an express agreement to arbitration by each shareholder, the Corporation, its directors, its officers and its controlling persons, and each underwriter of securities issued by the Corporation (if any). This Article X.D shall be treated as a written agreement to arbitrate all Other Disputes.

10. Each person to whom this Article X.D applies hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right under the laws of any jurisdiction to apply to any court of law or other judicial authority to determine any preliminary point of law.

11. The tribunal’s authority is subject to the same limits as the authority of a judge in a Texas court of law. The tribunal does not have authority to issue an award which (i) exceeds the tribunal’s authority under the Texas Arbitration Act; (ii) contains a reversible error of state or federal law, including as to the admissibility of evidence, or a clearly erroneous finding of fact; or (iii) applies a cause of action or provides a remedy not expressly provided for under applicable Texas or federal law. The tribunal’s application of the pleading and discovery limitations imposed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act is mandatory for applicable claims and shall not constitute a refusal to hear evidence pertinent and/or material to the controversy under Texas or federal law.

12. In any arbitral hearing, the tribunal shall apply the Texas Rules of Evidence, the hearing shall be stenographically recorded, and the tribunal shall issue a reasoned decision, which will state the findings of fact and conclusions of law the tribunal relied upon to support the decision rendered.

13. Pursuant to the Texas Arbitration Act, the scope of judicial review of the tribunal’s award pursuant to this Article X.D includes the ordinary grounds for vacatur, modification, and correction imposed by the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §§ 171.088 and 171.091, and is expanded beyond what is otherwise available under the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code to include review of whether the award: (i) contains a reversible error of state or federal law, including as to the admissibility of evidence, or a clearly erroneous finding of fact; or (ii) applies a cause of action or provides a remedy not expressly provided for under applicable Texas or federal law. The tribunal’s award and the findings of fact and conclusions of law shall be reviewed by the Business Court, or other reviewing court as provided below in Article X.D.14, or any applicable court of appeals in the manner and to the same extent as an appeal from an order or judgment entered by a Texas court in a civil action.

C-14

14. Any action seeking to confirm, vacate, modify, correct, or otherwise challenge the tribunal’s award shall be brought in the Business Court. To the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that such action is not subject to the sole and exclusive venue and forum or jurisdiction of the Business Court, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such action shall be the Federal Court, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction over any such Other Dispute, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Dispute shall be the Harris County Court. In any such action, the parties shall file all court filings under seal, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

15. Solely to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that this Article X.D is unenforceable either in whole or in part, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Disputes which are determined not to be subject to mandatory arbitration by reason of unenforceability shall be the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Federal Court”), or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and unappealable judgment that the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction over any such Other Dispute, the sole and exclusive forum and venue for such Other Dispute shall be the state district court of Texas situated in Harris County (the “Harris County Court”).

ARTICLE XI.

The shareholders do not have statutory preemptive rights.

ARTICLE XII.

A. Amendment of the Certificate of Formation. Subject to Section C.2. of Article V, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, adopt or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Formation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Certificate of Formation and the TBOC, and all rights conferred upon shareholders herein are granted subject to this reservation; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Formation or any provision of applicable law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Formation, prior to the Trigger Event, the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, and after the Trigger Event, the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Formation.

The shareholders may not adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws unless such action is approved, in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Formation, (i) prior to the Trigger Event, by the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class and (ii) from and after the Trigger Event, by the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.

C. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Formation, including, without limitation, Article X, is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or circumstance for any reason

C-15

whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Formation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Formation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the provisions of this Certificate of Formation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Formation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE XIII.

The right to a jury trial concerning any “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in Section 2.115 of the TBOC, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC and applicable law, shall be waived. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC and applicable law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XIII.

ARTICLE XIV.

A. In anticipation that the Corporation and the Sponsor Group may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through its continued contractual, corporate and business relations with the Sponsor Group (including service of officers and/or directors of the Sponsor Group as officers and/or directors of the Corporation), the provisions of this Article XIV are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve the Sponsor Group and its and their officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its officers, directors and shareholders in connection therewith.

B. No contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction between the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a member of the Sponsor Group, any officer or director of a member of the Sponsor Group, any officer or director of the Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Unrestricted Party”), on the other hand, shall be void or voidable solely for the reason that any Unrestricted Party is a party thereto, and each Unrestricted Party: (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled any duties to the Corporation and its shareholders with respect thereto; (ii) shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for any breach of fiduciary duty by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of, or approval of, any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction; (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached any duties of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders and not to have received an improper personal gain therefrom, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if in each case the material facts as to the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or the committee thereof that authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, and the Board or such committee in good faith authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even if such majority comprises less than a quorum of the Board or such committee. Directors and/or officers of the Corporation who are also directors and/or officers of such member of the Sponsor Group may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee that authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction.

C. Each Unrestricted Party shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to (i) engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation, (ii) do business with any client or customer of

C-16

the Corporation and (iii) employ or otherwise engage any officer or employee of the Corporation, and the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any such activities and shall not be deemed to have an interest or expectancy in any such activities merely because the Corporation engages in the same or similar activities or otherwise.

Subject to the provisions of Section XIV.D, no Unrestricted Party shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such Unrestricted Party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.

D. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that any Unrestricted Party acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation, on the one hand, and an Unrestricted Party, on the other hand, such Unrestricted Party (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled such person’s fiduciary duty to the Corporation and its shareholders with respect to such corporate opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for any breach of fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that an Unrestricted Party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believes to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation for the purposes of Article VII hereof and the other provisions of this Certificate of Formation, and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached such person’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders or to have received an improper personal gain therefrom for the purposes of Article VII hereof and the other provisions of this Certificate of Formation, unless the Corporation establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that such Unrestricted Party engaged in such transaction or matter by using confidential information of the Corporation. The term “confidential information” does not include any information that (a) at the time of disclosure, is available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by an Unrestricted Party in breach of a duty or obligation of confidentiality, (b) is already in the possession of an Unrestricted Party or becomes available thereto on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Corporation (provided that such source is not, to such person’s knowledge, bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Corporation with respect to such information) or (c) has been or was independently developed by an Unrestricted Party.

For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Texas are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

(d) One or more written requests for a special meeting delivered to the Secretary shall constitute a valid Special Meeting Request only if each such written request satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.3 and has been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated of such requests. If the record holder is not the signatory to the Special Meeting Request, such Special Meeting Request shall not be valid unless documentary evidence is supplied to the Secretary at the time of delivery of such Special Meeting Request (or within five (5) Business Days thereafter) of such signatory’s authority to execute the Special Meeting Request on behalf of the record holder. Any requesting shareholder may revoke his, her, or its Special Meeting Request at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the

D-2

Corporation; provided that if following such revocation, the unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests represent in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percentage, there shall be no requirement to hold a Shareholder Requested Meeting. The determination of the validity of a Special Meeting Request shall be made by the Board. A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid if such Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a matter on which shareholders are authorized to act under, or that involves a violation of, applicable law. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or except to the extent previously determined by the Board in connection with a Special Meeting Request, the chair of the Shareholder Requested Meeting shall be appointed by the Chairman of the Board and shall have the power and duty (i) to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3 and applicable law and (ii) if any proposed business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.3 and applicable law, to declare that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

(e) If none of the shareholders who submitted the Special Meeting Request, or their qualified representatives, appears at the Shareholder Requested Meeting and presents the matters to be presented for consideration that were specified in the Special Meeting Request, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting (notwithstanding that ballots or proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation). For purposes of these Bylaws, to be considered a qualified representative of a shareholder, (i) a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager, or partner of such shareholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder stating that such person is authorized to act for such shareholder as proxy at such Shareholder Requested Meeting; and (ii) prior to the presentation of such matters at the meeting of shareholders, such person must produce a valid government-issued photo identification, as well as either (A) proof that he, she, or it is a duly authorized officer, manager, or partner of such shareholder or (B) such writing (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing).

(f) For purposes of these Bylaws, a shareholder or beneficial owner shall be deemed to “Own” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock as to which such person possesses both: (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to such shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit from and the risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (A) purchased by such person or any of its Affiliates (as defined below) in any transaction that has not been settled or closed; (B) sold short by such person or any of its Affiliates; (C) borrowed by such person or any of its Affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such person or any of its Affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or subject to any other obligation to resell to another person; or (D) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such person or any of its Affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent, or at any time in the future, such person’s or any of its Affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of these Bylaws, a shareholder or beneficial owner shall Own shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. For purposes of these Bylaws, a person shall be deemed to continue to Own shares during any period in which the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person. For purposes of these Bylaws, a person shall also be deemed to continue to Own shares during any period in which the person has loaned such shares provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, the person recalls the loaned shares no later than five (5) Business Days after being notified that the Shareholder Requested Meeting will be held (in the case of this Section 2.3) or after being notified that any of its nominees will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials (in the case of Section 3.4 of these Bylaws), and the person holds the recalled shares through the date of the Shareholder Requested Meeting (in the case of this Section 2.3) or through the date of the annual meeting (in the case of Section 3.4 of these Bylaws). The

D-3

determination of the extent to which a shareholder or beneficial owner “Owns” any shares of capital stock of the Corporation for these purposes shall be made by the Board. The terms “Owned,” “Owning” and “Ownership” and other variations of the word “Own” shall have correlative meanings in these Bylaws. For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “Affiliates” shall have the meaning given in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (as defined below).

Section 2.4 Notices. Written notice of each shareholders meeting, whether an annual or special meeting, shall be provided by the Corporation stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 of these Bylaws to each shareholder entitled to vote at such shareholders meeting as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by Section 21.353 of the TBOC. If said notice is for a special meeting of shareholders, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of shareholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, adjourned, rescheduled or cancelled (to the extent permitted by the TBOC), by the Board for any reason or no reason upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.8(c) of these Bylaws) given before the time previously scheduled for such meeting. The meeting may be postponed, adjourned or rescheduled to such date, time, and place, if any, as is specified in the notice of postponement or rescheduling of such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of a shareholder meeting regarding a fundamental business transaction (as defined in the TBOC) must (a) be given to each shareholder of the Corporation not later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the meeting, regardless of whether the shareholder is entitled to vote on the matter, and (b) state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider a fundamental business transaction.

Section 2.5 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a shareholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.7 of these Bylaws until a quorum shall attend in person or be represented by proxy. The shareholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.6 Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the eleventh (11th) day before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder, the type of shares held by each shareholder, the number of shares held by each shareholder and the number of votes to which each shareholder is entitled. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.6(a), such list shall be

D-4

open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days before the meeting date: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to shareholders of the Corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number and class or series of shares held by each of them. Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.6(a) shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the share transfer records shall be the only evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine the list of shareholders required by this Section 2.6(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders.

(b) Manner of Voting. At any shareholders meeting, every shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Formation, the election of directors shall be by written ballot. If authorized by the Board, the voting by shareholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3 of these Bylaws), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chair of the meeting of shareholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law, including Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, provided that no such proxy shall be valid eleven (11) months after the date of its execution, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 21.368 and 21.369 of the TBOC. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission that sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder as provided in the TBOC. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which white card color shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of shareholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. All matters (other than the election of directors and non-binding advisory votes described below) presented to the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against by the holders of the shares entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by a provision of applicable law, the Certificate of Formation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two possible vote choices, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the shareholders.

(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of shareholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chair of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. If applicable, each inspector, before

D-5

discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. If applicable, the inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Any report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting, and shall specify such other information as may be required by law. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the Board or the chair of the meeting, or, in the case of a meeting called at the request of the shareholders representing a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting, by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the shareholders, from time to time for any reason or no reason, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the shareholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for shareholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 9.2 of these Bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.8 Advance Notice for Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Shareholders. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board or any authorized committee thereof, (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any shareholder of the Corporation (x) who is a shareholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.8(a), on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and on the date of the annual meeting, (y) as applicable, is eligible to submit a proposal (as determined pursuant to Article VIII.B. of the Certificate of Formation (any shareholder satisfying the criteria described in (x) and (y) an “Eligible Shareholder”)) and (z) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.8(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.4 of these Bylaws will be considered for election at such meeting.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any notice time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described in this Section 3.4.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is greater than the number of directors whose terms expire on the date of the annual meeting and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for the additional directors to be elected or specifying the size of the increased Board before the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 3.4 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships created by such increase that are to be filled by election at such annual meeting, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which such public announcement was first made by the Corporation.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation and that the Corporation believes could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence (both from management and from the shareholder and beneficial owner, if any) and qualifications of such proposed nominee. As to the shareholder, other than any of the Founding Shareholders, giving the notice and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made (including any Affiliate or Associate), such shareholder’s notice must set forth: (1) the information required by Section 2.8(a)(ii)(1) through (2) and (4)

A shareholder, other than any of the Founding Shareholders, providing notice of any nomination proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling, or postponement thereof. Such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation (I) not later than five (5) Business Days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date) and (II) not later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling, or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling, or postponement thereof).

(e) If the Board or the chair of the meeting of shareholders determines that any nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, or that the information provided in a shareholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 3.4, then such nomination shall not be considered at the meeting in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4, if the shareholder (or a qualified representative of the shareholder) does not appear at the meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to present the nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been received by the Corporation.

(f) In addition to the provisions of this Section 3.4, a shareholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder related to the submission of director nominations and related solicitation of proxies. Nothing in this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to the Certificate of Formation.

(g) These Bylaws shall not be deemed to require inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement any nominations or proposals of shareholders which the Corporation is not otherwise required to include in its proxy statement.

(h) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 3.4, a proposed nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under these Bylaws and applicable law) to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation (i) a written questionnaire (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request by a shareholder of record) with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made and (ii) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request by a shareholder of record) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement, or understanding (whether written or oral) with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote in such capacity on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement,

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) any shareholder providing notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 or each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made (including any Affiliate or Associate) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to any proposed nominee and (ii) (A) such person subsequently either (1) notifies the Corporation that such person no longer intends to solicit proxies in support of the election or reelection of such proposed nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act or (2) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence) and (B) no other shareholder that has provided notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 or any beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination was made (including any Affiliate or Associate) (x) has provided notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to such proposed nominee to the Corporation’s knowledge based on information provided pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act or these Bylaws, still intends to solicit proxies in support of the election or reelection of such proposed nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act and (y) has complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act and the requirements set forth in the following sentence, then the nomination of such proposed nominee shall be disregarded and no vote on the election of such proposed nominee shall occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation). Upon request by the Corporation, if any shareholder providing notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 or each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made (including any Affiliate or Associate) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, such person shall deliver to the Secretary, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable meeting date, reasonable evidence that the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act have been satisfied.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4, the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 3.4 shall not apply to any Founding Shareholder proposing nominees. For any nomination to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by any Founding Shareholder, such Founding Shareholder shall submit a reasonably detailed notice thereof to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the later of (i) the close of business on the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the date the Corporation first files its preliminary or definitive proxy statement related to such meeting with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting, and such Founding Shareholder and the Corporation shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith with respect to the inclusion of such matters to be considered at such meeting.

(a) The Corporation and the Founding Shareholders shall take all actions (to the extent such actions are permitted by applicable law and, in the case of any action by the Corporation that requires a vote or other action on the part of the Board, to the extent such action is consistent with the duties (including fiduciary duties, if any) that the Corporation’s directors have in such capacity) necessary to cause to be elected to the Board, and to cause to continue in office, the number of directors consistent with clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 3.5(a), including (i) voting or providing a written consent or proxy with respect to Class A Shares or Class B Shares or other Company Securities owned of record or Beneficially Owned, (ii) causing the adoption of shareholders’ resolutions and amendments to the organizational documents of the Corporation, (iii) causing members of the Board (to the extent such members were designated by the Person obligated to undertake the action) to act

D-13

(subject to any applicable duties (including fiduciary duties, if any)) in a certain manner or causing them to be removed in the event they do not act in such a manner, (iv) executing agreements and instruments and (v) making or causing to be made, with governmental, administrative or regulatory authorities, all filings, registrations or similar actions that are required to achieve such result (“Necessary Actions”):

(i) a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board, plus one director, all of which shall be designated by LBH, for so long as the Founding Shareholders have Beneficial Ownership of at least forty percent (40%) of the voting power of the Corporation;

(ii) a number of directors equal to three directors, all of which shall be designated by LBH, for so long as the Founding Shareholders have Beneficial Ownership of less than forty percent (40%) but at least thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the Corporation;

(iii) a number of directors equal to two directors, all of which shall be designated by LBH, for so long as the Founding Shareholders have Beneficial Ownership of less than thirty percent (30%) but at least twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of the Corporation; and

(iv) one director designated by LBH, for so long as the Founding Shareholders have Beneficial Ownership of less than twenty percent (20%) but at least ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the Corporation.

(b) For so long as LBH is entitled to designate one or more directors pursuant to this Section 3.5, LBH will have the right to remove any director previously designated by it to the Board (with or without cause), from time to time and at any time, from the Board, exercisable upon written notice to the Corporation, and, upon such notification, the Corporation will take all Necessary Action to cause such removal within seven days of receipt of such notice.

(c) The Corporation agrees to include in the slate of director nominees recommended by the Board those persons designated by LBH in accordance with this Section 3.5 and to take all Necessary Actions to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such designees to be elected as directors, in each case subject to applicable law.

(d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director who is designated by LBH in accordance with this Section 3.5, the Corporation shall take all Necessary Action to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as practicable by a new designee of LBH. In the event that the size of the Board is expanded, the Corporation shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to continue to have the number of LBH’s designees that correspond to the requirements of this Section 3.5.

(e) In the event that at any time the number of directors entitled to be designated by LBH pursuant to this Section 3.5 decreases, LBH shall take all Necessary Action to cause a sufficient number of directors designated by LBH to resign from the Board and/or not stand for re-election not later than the end of each such designated director’s then existing term such that the number of designated directors after such resignation(s) equals the number of directors LBH is then entitled to designate pursuant to this Section 3.5. If any vacancy is created by such resignation prior to the end of a resigning director’s then existing term, such position may remain vacant until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or be filled by a majority vote of the Board. Such designated director need not resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such director’s term if the Corporation’s nominating committee advises such director that it intends to recommend the nomination of such director for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such director’s term, or otherwise (and for the avoidance of doubt, such director shall no longer be considered a designee of LBH).

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to LBH by the Corporation to designate directors are additive to, and not intended to limit in any way, the rights of LBH to nominate or elect to remove directors under the Certificate of Formation or the TBOC.

At such times as the Corporation is required by applicable law, or U.S. stock exchange listing standards applicable to the Corporation, to have a certain number of independent directors serving on the Board and/or any committee thereof (subject in each case to any applicable phase-in periods), LBH shall designate such number of designees that qualify as independent directors necessary to satisfy the Applicable Independence Standards prior to the Trigger Event (as defined herein), after which independent directors will be nominated by action of the majority of the Board or applicable Board committee or shareholders acting in compliance with Section 3.4.

LBH shall not be required to have its directors represented on any committee and any failure to exercise such right in Section 3.5 in a prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.5, a person shall be deemed to “Beneficially Own” or have “Beneficial Ownership” of such securities if such person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” thereof within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

Section 3.6 Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors, including for service on a committee of the Board, and may be paid either a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or other compensation as director. The directors may be reimbursed their expenses, if any, for attendance at each meeting of the Board. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members or chairs of committees of the Board may be allowed reimbursement of expenses and additional compensation for service on or chairing the committee.

ARTICLE VII

SHARES

Section 7.1 Uncertificated Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Board shall determine otherwise in respect of some or all of any or all classes of shares, the shares of the Corporation will be uncertificated. Any certificates representing shares of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board of Directors and will be signed by the Chair of the Board (if then an officer), Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Executive Vice President or Vice President of the Corporation and either the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. The signature of any such officer on any such share certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on any such share certificate will have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of its issuance. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation will send to the registered owner of the uncertificated shares a written notice that sets forth all of the information required by Section 3.205 of the TBOC. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing shares, if any, of the same class and series will be identical. No requirement of the TBOC with respect to matters to be set forth on certificates representing shares of the Corporation will apply to or affect certificates outstanding when the requirement first becomes applicable to the certificates; but the requirements will apply to all certificates thereafter issued whether in connection with an original issue of shares, a transfer of shares, or otherwise.

Section 7.2 Multiple Classes and/or Series of Stock. If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, the Corporation shall (a) cause 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 to be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of any certificate that the Corporation issues to represent shares of such class or series of stock or (b) in the case of uncertificated shares, within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares, send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required

D-19

to be set forth on certificates as specified in clause (a) above; provided that, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of such certificate or, in the case of uncertificated shares, on such written notice a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each shareholder 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 or rights.

Section 7.3 Signatures. Each certificate representing capital stock of the Corporation shall be signed by or in the name of the Corporation by (a) the Chair of the Board (if then an officer), the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Executive Vice President or Vice President and (b) the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a 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, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar on the date of issue.

Section 7.4 Consideration and Payment for Shares.

(a) Subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Formation, shares of stock may be issued for such consideration, having in the case of shares with par value a value not less than the par value thereof, and to such persons, as determined from time to time by the Board. The consideration may consist of any tangible or intangible property or any benefit to the Corporation including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed, securities of the Corporation or any other organization or any other property of any kind or nature, or any combination thereof.

(b) Subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Formation, shares may not be issued until the full amount of the consideration has been paid.

Section 7.5 Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully Taken Certificates.

(a) If an owner of a certificate representing shares claims that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall issue either a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form, in either case, if the owner notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, provides an affidavit of that fact acceptable to the Corporation and executes an agreement acceptable to the Corporation (and, if required by the Corporation, posts a bond in such amount as the Corporation may determine is reasonably necessary) to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate.

(b) If a certificate representing shares has been lost, apparently destroyed or stolen, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of such loss, apparent destruction or theft and the Corporation registers a transfer of such shares before receiving notification, the owner shall be precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering such transfer or a claim to a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form.

Section 7.6 Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Corporation will be transferable in the manner prescribed by law, in the Certificate of Formation, these Bylaws or an agreement between the Corporation and one or more shareholders. Transfers of shares will be made on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such other person as may under law be authorized to endorse such shares for transfer or by such shareholder’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing. Except as otherwise provided by law, upon surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, the Corporation will issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books. Except as otherwise

D-20

provided by law, if an instruction is presented to the Corporation requesting the registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall register the transfer as requested. No transfer of shares will be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it will have been entered in the share transfer records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to what person those shares were transferred.

Section 7.7 Registered Shareholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the share transfer records and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such shares, receive distributions or dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

Section 7.8 Regulations. The Board shall have power and authority to make such additional rules and regulations, subject to any applicable requirement of law, as the Board may deem necessary and appropriate with respect to the issue, transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock or certificates representing shares. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars and may require for the validity thereof that certificates representing shares bear the signature of any transfer agent or registrar so appointed.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent or other representative of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent or other representative (as defined by the TBOC) of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or omission in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided that, except as provided in Section 8.4 of these Bylaws with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Article VIII because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of the Certificate of Formation, the Bylaws and other governing documents of the Corporation. Any liabilities that an Indemnitee incurs resulting from acting on behalf of the Corporation (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the United States Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Article VIII, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

D-21

Section 8.2 Right to Witness Expenses. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnitee’s appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding at a time when the person is not a respondent in the proceeding.

Section 8.3 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1 of these Bylaws, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided that, if the TBOC requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.3 or otherwise and a written affirmation by such Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that such Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Chapter 8 of the TBOC.

Section 8.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the TBOC. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the TBOC, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 8.4 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 8.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Formation, these Bylaws, an agreement, a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 8.6 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the TBOC.

D-22

Section 8.7 Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board and to the extent permitted by the TBOC, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitees under this Article VIII.

Section 8.8 Written Report of Indemnification or Advancement to Directors. To the extent required by applicable law, the Corporation shall report in writing to the shareholders of any indemnification or advancement of expenses to or on behalf of a director. Such report shall be made not later than the first anniversary of the date of such indemnification or advancement, and it shall be made with or before (1) the notice or waiver of notice of the next meeting of the shareholders or (2) the next submission to the shareholders of a consent to action without a meeting.

Section 8.9 Amendments. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the shareholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VIII, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Section 8.10 Certain Definitions.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of shareholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation; provided, if the Board has, in its sole

D-23

discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 of these Bylaws, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

Section 9.2 Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) of these Bylaws at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the shareholders 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 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 be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.3 Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (A) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (B) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (C) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (D) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (E) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

(b) Notice to Shareholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any shareholder, such notice may be given (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in the TBOC. A notice to a shareholder shall be deemed given as follows: (A) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the shareholder, (B) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address appearing on the share transfer records of the Corporation, (C) if sent

D-24

for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address appearing on the share transfer records of the Corporation, and (D) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (1) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice, (2) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (I) such posting and (II) the giving of such separate notice, and (3) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the shareholder. A shareholder may revoke such shareholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (I) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (II) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(c) Notice to the Corporation. Written notice from any shareholder to the Corporation (including pursuant to Section 2.8(a), (b) and (d) of Article II and Section 3.4 of Article III) shall, unless otherwise required by law, be by hand or certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or courier services, charges prepaid to, and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation. Written notice from any director to the Corporation shall be given by United States mail or other means of written communication (including electronic transmission), with postage and fees thereon prepaid, to, and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when received by the Secretary of the Corporation.

(d) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

(e) Notice to Shareholders Sharing Same Address. To the extent permitted under the TBOC, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to shareholders, any notice to shareholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the TBOC, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to shareholders who share an address if consented to by the shareholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A shareholder may revoke such shareholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any shareholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within sixty (60) days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(f) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the TBOC, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, to any shareholder to whom (i) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders and all notices of shareholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of shareholders without a meeting to such shareholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of distributions or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed by first class mail addressed to such shareholder at such shareholder’s address as shown on the ownership records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such shareholder shall not be required. To the extent permitted by the TBOC, notice of a meeting is not required to be given to a shareholder entitled to notice under any provision of the TBOC, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws if the person entitled to notice of the meeting is considered a lost securityholder under the Exchange Act and the regulations adopted under the

D-25

Exchange Act. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such shareholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given to any such shareholder. If any such shareholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such shareholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such shareholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate or other document with the Secretary of State of Texas or otherwise, the certificate or other document need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to the TBOC.

Section 9.4 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Formation, or these Bylaws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, provided that such person expresses such objection at the outset of the meeting.

Section 9.5 Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.

(a) Shareholder Meetings. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of shareholders may, by means of remote communication:

(i) participate in a meeting of shareholders; and

(ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of shareholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely or partially by means of remote communication; provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that every person voting at the meeting by means of remote communication is sufficiently identified, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, or the shareholder’s proxy holders, a reasonable opportunity to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders and read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with those proceedings, and (C) if any shareholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be kept by the Corporation.

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Section 9.6 Distributions and Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, distributions or dividends (payable in cash, property or shares of the Corporation’s capital stock) on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Formation.

Section 9.7 Reserves. The Board may set apart out of the funds of the Corporation available for distributions or dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

Section 9.8 Contracts and Negotiable Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may be executed and delivered in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers or other employee or employees of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time authorize. Such authority may be

D-26

general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

Section 9.9 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board.

Section 9.10 Seal. The Board may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in such form as the Board determines. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise reproduced.

Section 9.11 Books and Records. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept within or outside the State of Texas at such place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Board.

Section 9.12 Resignation. Any director, committee member or officer may resign by giving notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time it is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Corporation under any contract to which the officer is a party.

Section 9.13 Amendments. The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws. These Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the shareholders; provided that in addition to any vote required by applicable law or the Certificate of Formation, the following vote shall be required for the shareholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws: (A) prior to the first date on which the Founding Shareholders no longer collectively beneficially own or control the voting of more than forty percent (40%) of the voting power of all of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class (the “Trigger Event”), by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class and (B) from and after the Trigger Event, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The Board shall not approve any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of these Bylaws, or the adoption of any new Bylaw, without the approval of the Founding Shareholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, without the approval of any Founding Shareholder, may amend any provision of these Bylaws, and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect: (a) a change in the name of the Corporation, the location of the principal place of business of the Corporation, the registered agent of the Corporation or the registered office of the Corporation; (b) a change that, in the sole discretion of the Board, (i) does not adversely affect the rights of shareholders (including adversely affecting the holders of any particular class or series of shares of capital stock as compared to other holders of other classes or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation) in any material respect or (ii) is necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute (including the TBOC); (c) a change in the fiscal year or taxable year of the Corporation and any other changes that the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate resulting from a change in the fiscal year or taxable year of the Corporation; (d) an amendment that the Board determines, based on the advice of counsel, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent the Corporation or its directors, officers, trustees or agents from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or “plan asset” regulations adopted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, regardless of whether such are substantially

D-27

similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed by the United States Department of Labor; (e) an amendment that (i) sets forth the designations, rights, preferences, powers and duties of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation or (ii) the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the authorization or issuance of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation; (f) an amendment that the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect and account for the formation by the Corporation of, or investment by the Corporation in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity, in connection with the conduct by the Corporation of activities; or (g) any other amendments substantially similar to the foregoing.
