(Chapter 617.0701) Concurrent with the annual convention of the Corporation, the annual meeting of the Members of the Corporation shall be held at a time during such convention and at a place convenient to the location of such convention, as established by the Board of Directors. The annual meeting of the Members may be held at any other time and place specified in a notice given as provided in Section 4 of this Article of these By-Laws or in a waiver of notice thereof.

If all Regular Members meet at any time and place and consent to holding a Special Meeting, such meeting shall be valid without call or notice, and any corporate action may be taken.

SECTION 4. Notice of Meetings: (Chapter 617.0141) Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of any meeting of Members shall be delivered either personally, by mail, electronic mail or by facsimile to each Member, including each Regular Member, entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than thirty nor more than one hundred days before the date of such meeting, by or at the direction of the President, or the Secretary, or the Persons calling the meeting. In case of special meetings or when required by statute or by these By-Laws, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be stated in the notice.

If mailed, the notice of a meeting shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the Member at such Member's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is in the form of an electronic mail or facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered upon receipt of a confirmation showing completed transmission to the electronic mail address or facsimile number, as the case may be, on the records of the Corporation.

Notice of a meeting of Members need not be given to any Member who signs a waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, either before or after the meeting. Unless required by these By-Laws, neither the affairs transacted nor the purpose of the meeting need be specified in the waiver.

Attendance of a Member at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, constitutes waiver of notice and waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting, or the manner in which it has been called or convened, unless the Member attends the meeting solely for the purpose of stating, at the beginning of the meeting, any such objection or objections to the transaction of affairs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of the annual meeting of Members may be included in promotional material for the annual convention of the Corporation and need not be separately transmitted as long as such promotional material is sent to all Members as provided in this Section.

SECTION 5. Member Action by Consent. (Section 617.0701(4)(a) - (f); 5 (a) and (b))
(a) Action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if the action is taken by the Members entitled to vote on such action and having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote on such action were present and voted.

In order to be effective, the action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, dated and signed by approving Members having the requisite number of votes and entitled to vote on such action, and delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its principal office in the state of Florida, its principal place of business, the corporate Secretary, or another officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of Members are recorded. Written consent shall not be effective to take the corporate action referred to in the consent unless the consent is signed by Members having the requisite number of votes necessary to authorize the action within 60 days of the date of the earliest dated consent and is delivered in the manner required by this Section.

(b) Any written consent may be revoked prior to the date that the Corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action.

(c) Within 10 days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice must be given to those Members who are entitled to vote on the action but who have not consented in writing. The notice must fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action.

(d) A consent signed under this Section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.
(e) If the action to which the Members consent is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under the Florida Law if such action had been voted on by Members at a meeting thereof, any such certificate filed must state that written consent has been given in accordance with the provisions of Section 617.0701 of the Florida Law.

(f) Whenever action is taken pursuant to this Section, the written consent of the Members consenting to such action or the written reports of inspectors appointed to tabulate such consents must be filed with the minutes of proceedings of Members.

The subsequent withdrawal of any Member from the meeting, after the commencement of a meeting, or the refusal of any Member represented in person or by proxy to vote, shall have no effect on the existence of a quorum, after a quorum has been established at such meeting.

(b) Despite the absence of a quorum at any meeting of Members, a majority of the Regular Members present may adjourn the meeting.

SECTION 7. Voting: (Section 617.0721) At all meetings of the Members, each Regular Member present shall have one vote and may vote by proxy executed in writing by the Regular Member or by such Member's duly authorized attorney in fact.

An appointment of a proxy is valid only for 11 months following the date of its execution (and may not be valid under any circumstances thereafter), or may be valid for a shorter period of time if so provided in the proxy. Associate Members shall not have any voting rights.

Except as otherwise specified herein, a majority vote of Members present at a meeting where a quorum was declared present shall constitute action on behalf of the Members.

ARTICLE VI -- BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. Board of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Qualifications of Directors. A Director must be a natural person who is 18 years of age or older and who is an Authorized Person of a Regular Member. A natural person who is an Authorized Person for a Regular Member may not stand for election, or be elected, as a Director if another Authorized Person of the same Regular Member is already a Director or is also standing for election at the same time.

SECTION 3. Number of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consist of not fewer than seven (7) nor more than nine (9) individuals, the exact number to be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of Directors then in office.

SECTION 4. Election and Term of Office. The members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by the Regular Members at the Annual Meeting of Members. The Board of Directors shall appoint a nominating committee which shall endeavor to nominate at said Annual Meeting at least as many candidates as there are positions on the Board to be then filled.

Nominations will also be solicited and accepted from the floor. Each Regular Member shall be entitled to cast up to as many votes as there are positions on the Board to be filled, but may cast only one vote per candidate. The candidates with the most votes (which may be less than a majority of the number of Regular Members voting) will be deemed elected.

If there is a tie for one or more of the positions to be filled, the Members shall vote to break the tie by voting for each such tied position by casting as many votes as there are tied positions for one or more of the candidates who were tied in the original vote. If one or more ties remain, the process shall be repeated, if necessary, until a tie between or among the same candidates for the last remaining position occurs in two consecutive votes.

If such recurring ties occur, the tied position shall be deemed vacant and may be filled by the Board of Directors. Except as provided in Section 5, below, each Director shall hold office for a term of two (2) years until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal (including deemed removal upon suspension or termination of the membership of the Regular Member for whom such director is an Authorized Person).

The term of the Directors shall be staggered to provide continuity to the Board of Directors and to provide the opportunity for approximately half of the Board to be up for election each year.

No person shall be elected for more than three (3) consecutive two-year terms on the Board of Directors, and any person who has so served for three (3) consecutive two-year terms may not be elected to the Board of Directors until the second annual meeting of Members after the completion of such service.

If more than one Authorized Person of the same Regular Member are Directors (because of a merger, a change of employment or other circumstances), and if more than one of such Directors have a term of office that continues after the next annual meeting of Members, all but one of such Directors with such a term of office must resign from the Board of Directors before the next annual meeting of Members.

If the requisite resignations have not occurred, all of such Directors will be deemed to have resigned immediately prior to said annual meeting and the resulting vacancy(ies) will be filled by the Members at such meeting as provided in Section 5(b) below.

SECTION 5. Vacancies.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, below, any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining Directors, even though the remaining Directors constitute less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining Director, as the case may be, or, if the vacancy is not so filled or if no Director remains, by the Members or, on the application of any Person, by the circuit court of the county where the registered office of the Corporation is located.

(b) A Director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall be elected or appointed for the remaining portion of the then-current year of his or her predecessor's term of office. If such year is the first year of a two-year term, such Director elected or appointed shall serve temporarily for the balance of such year, and the vacancy shall be filled permanently at the next annual meeting of the Members by a vote of the Regular Members as provided for the election of new Directors; provided that the term of office of any Director so elected to fill the second year of a term left vacant shall be only for such second year.

Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors may be filled by the Board of Directors, but only for a term of office continuing until the next election of Directors by the Members.

SECTION 6. Resignation (Section 617.0807). A Director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the President or Secretary of the Corporation or to the Board of Directors. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

SECTION 7. Removal of Directors. A Director may be removed from office pursuant to the procedures related to removal resulting from termination of membership as well as the following:

(a) Any Director may be removed from office with or without cause by the vote of, or agreement in writing by, a majority of all Regular Members.

(b) The notice of a meeting of the Members to recall or remove a Director or Directors shall state the specific Directors sought to be removed.

(c) A proposed removal of one or more Directors at a meeting shall require a separate vote for each Director sought to be removed. Where removal is sought by written agreement, a separate agreement is required for each Director sought to be removed.

(d) If removal is effected at a meeting, any vacancies created thereby shall be filled by the Regular Members at the same meeting.

(e) Any Director who is removed from the Board of Directors shall not be eligible to stand for reelection until the next annual meeting of the Members.

(f) Any Director removed from office shall turn over to the board of directors within 72 hours any and all records of the Corporation in his or her possession.

(g) If a Director who is removed shall not relinquish his or her office or turn over records as required under this Section, the circuit court in the county where the Corporation's principal office is located may summarily order the Director to relinquish his or her office and turn over corporate records upon application of any Member.

SECTION 8. Quorum of Directors. The majority of the Directors in office at the time of a duly assembled meeting shall constitute a quorum and be sufficient for the transaction of business.

(Section 617.0825) The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, may from time to time designate from among its members an executive committee and such other committees of the Board of Directors, and alternate members thereof, as they deem desirable, each consisting of two or more members, with such powers and authority (to the extent permitted by law) as may be provided in such resolution. Each Board Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. Each Board Committee must have two or more members.

No committee appointed pursuant to this Article shall have the power at any time to change the powers and duties of any such committee or to dissolve it.

SECTION 26. Good Faith Actions. Neither the designation of any such committee, the delegation thereto of authority, nor action by such committee pursuant to such authority shall alone constitute compliance by any member of the Board of Directors not a member of the committee in question with his or her responsibility to act in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.
