                           SEA PINES ASSOCIATES, INC.

                                    ARTICLE I

                                NAME AND PURPOSES

         Section 1.     Name. The name of the corporation is Sea Pines
Associates, Inc. ("Corporation").

         Section 2.     Purposes. The Corporation is organized under the
South Carolina Business Corporation Code for those purposes set out in the
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                     OFFICES

         Section 1.     Principal Office. The principal office of the
Corporation is located at Sea Pines Welcome Center, 32 Greenwood Drive, Hilton
Head Island, South Carolina 29928. The Corporation may have such other offices
either within or without the State of South Carolina as the Board of Directors
may designate from time to time.

         Section 2.     Registered Office. The registered office of the
Corporation required by the South Carolina Business Corporation Code to be
maintained in the State of South Carolina may be, but need not be, identical
with the principal office and the address of the registered office may be
changed from time to time by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any
action by the Board, the registered office shall be as set forth in the Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  SHAREHOLDERS

         Section 1.     Place of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders shall
be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place within
or outside the State of South Carolina as the Board of Directors shall
authorize.

         Section 2.     Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the
shareholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other
business as may properly be brought before the


                                       1

<PAGE>

meeting shall be held at such time as is specified in the notice of the meeting
on either the first Saturday in the month of March of each year or on such other
date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors prior to the giving of the notice
of such meeting. The Board of Directors acting by resolution may postpone and
reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting of shareholders.

         Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the
proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an
annual meeting of shareholders (a) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (b) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a shareholder of
record at the time of giving of notice by such shareholder provided for in this
By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice
procedures set forth below in this By-Law.

         For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an
annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (b) of the foregoing
paragraph of this By-Law, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof
in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's
notice shall be delivered to and received by the Secretary at the principal
office of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the
Corporation's proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the
previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the
annual meeting is changed by more than thirty (30) days from such anniversary
date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier
than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of
business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th
day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting
is first made. Such shareholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person
whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a
director all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected) and a description of all arrangements and understandings
between the nominating shareholder and the nominee or any other person (naming
such person) relating to the nomination; (b) as to any other business that the
shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is
made; (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if
any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address
of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such
beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such
beneficial owner.

         Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the preceding
paragraph to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board
of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the
nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board


                                       2
<PAGE>

of Directors made by the Corporation at least seventy (70) days prior to the
first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a shareholder's notice
required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect
to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be
delivered to and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the
day on which a public announcement is made by the Corporation.

         Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in these By-Laws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such
business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of shareholders as shall have
been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this By-Law. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to
determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and,
if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to
declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

         For purposes of this By-Law, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable national news service, or in a document mailed to all
shareholders of record or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a shareholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this
By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of
shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders
of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified
circumstances.

         Section 3.     Special Meetings. Special meetings of the
shareholders shall be called upon the request of the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, upon the request of a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors or if the holders of at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast
on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign,
date and deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation one or more written demands
for the meeting describing the purpose for which it is to be held. Business
transacted at a special meeting shall be confined to the specific purpose or
purposes of the persons authorized to request such special meeting as set forth
in this By-Law and only such purpose or purposes shall be set forth in the
notice of such meeting. The Board of Directors acting by resolution may postpone
and reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of shareholders.

         Directors are to be elected at a special meeting of shareholders only
(a) if the Board of Directors so determines or (b) to fill a vacancy created by
the removal of a director at such special meeting. Nominations of persons for
election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special


                                       3
<PAGE>

meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected (a) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any shareholder of the Corporation
who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice by such
shareholder provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting
and who complied with the notice procedures set forth below in this By-Law.
Nominations by a shareholder of persons for election to the Board of Directors
may be made at such a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to
be elected if the shareholder's notice required by the third paragraph of
Section 2 of Article III of these By-Laws shall be delivered to and received by
the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation not
earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or
the 10th day following the day on which public announcement (as defined in
Section 2 of Article III of these By-Laws) is first made of the date of the
special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be
elected at such meeting.

         Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in these By-Laws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such
business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have
been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this By-Law. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to
determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
special meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with
this By-Law, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a shareholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this
By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of
shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders
of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified
circumstances.

         Section 4.     Notice of Meetings of Shareholders. Written notice of
any shareholders meeting shall be delivered either personally or by first class
mail to each shareholder entitled to vote on any matter to be addressed at such
meeting. Such notice shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than
sixty (60) days before the meeting. Notice of each meeting shall state the
place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed delivered when deposited in the United States mail, with postage
prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the
Corporation's records.

         Section 5.     Waiver of Notice. Notice of meetings need not be
given to any shareholder who signs a waiver of notice, either in person or by
proxy, either before or after the meeting. The attendance, whether in person or
by proxy, of any shareholder at a meeting without protesting the sufficiency of
notice of the meeting prior to the conclusion of such meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice by such shareholder.


                                       4

         Section 6.     Quorum of Shareholders. A majority of the outstanding
shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of
business. If a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote on the subject matter
shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or
voting by class is otherwise required by these By-Laws or the Articles of
Incorporation. Once a quorum is present, it shall not be broken by the
subsequent withdrawal of any shareholder, and the shareholders remaining may
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

         Section 7.     Adjournment. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority
in interest of shareholders present at a shareholder meeting, the meeting may be
adjourned from time to time to a fixed date for any valid business reason
without further notice as to the time and place of such adjourned meeting, but
such adjournment shall be for a period not in excess of one hundred twenty (120)
days. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or
represented, only such business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally scheduled, unless all shares are
represented and do not object.

         Section 8.     Record Date. For the purpose of determining the
shareholders qualified or entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent
from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining
shareholders qualified or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the
allotment of any rights, or for any other proper purpose, the Board records
shall fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders. Such date shall be not more than seventy (70) nor less than ten
(10) days before the date of such meeting or action. If no record date is fixed
by the Board, the record date for any such purposes shall be ten (10) days
before the date of such meeting or action. When such determination of qualified
or entitled shareholders has been made as provided above, such determination
shall also apply to any adjourned meeting, unless the Board fixes a new record
date.

         Section 9.     Voting of Shares. At all meetings, shareholders'
voting will be conducted and recorded by mailed proxies prior to the meeting, or
by proxies personally delivered on the day of the meeting. However, any
qualified voter may demand a record vote, whereupon such vote shall be taken by
ballot, and the Secretary shall record the name of each shareholder voting, the
number of shares voted by each shareholder and, if such vote shall be by proxy,
the name of the proxy holder. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote
at a shareholder meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical
order and setting forth the number of voting shares held by each shareholder,
shall be prepared by the Secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent of
the Corporation who shall have charge of the stock ledger and stock transfer
books for the Corporation. Such list shall be subject to inspection by any
shareholder at the principal office of the Corporation during business hours for
ten (10) days prior to such meeting and throughout the meeting or any
adjournment thereof. There shall be no cumulative voting.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         Section 10.    Proxies. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a
meeting of the shareholders or to express consent or dissent to action without a
meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Every
proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact and delivered to
the Secretary at the meeting prior to or during the roll call, or be returned to
the corporation with the signed consent or dissent to action without a meeting.
No proxy shall be valid after the date of the next meeting of the shareholders
or any adjournment thereof. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of
the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.

         Section 11.    Written Consent of Shareholders. Any action required
to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if
consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all of
the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

         Section 12.    Conduct of Meeting. Meetings of shareholders shall be
presided over by the Chairman of the Board or, in his absence, by the Vice
Chairman of the Board or, in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairman
designated by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such designation, by
a chairman chosen at the meeting by the vote of a majority in interest of the
shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote
thereat. The Secretary or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary or, in the
absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, a person whom the
chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and
keep a record of the proceedings thereof.

         The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules,
regulations and procedures for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it
shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules,
regulations and procedures of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of
the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules,
regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such
chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the
meeting, including, without limitation, establishing (a) an agenda or order of
business for the meeting, (b) rules, regulations and procedures for maintaining
order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (c) limitations on
participation in such meeting to shareholders of record of the Corporation and
their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the
chairman shall permit, (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time
fixed for the commencement thereof, (e) limitations on the time allotted to
questions or comments by participants and (f) rules, regulations and procedures
governing the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which
are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board
of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not
be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Section 1.     General. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors.

         Section 2.     Qualifications. Each director shall be at least
eighteen (18) years of age. Directors need not be shareholders nor residents of
the State of South Carolina. The mandatory retirement age for Directors is age
75. Nominees, under the age of 75, may be elected and re-elected despite their
75th birthday falling during their elected term; provided, however, a Director
who has reached his 75th birthday must resign at the annual meeting immediately
following his or her 75th birthday.

         Section 3.     Committees. The Board of Directors may create one or
more committees of the Board of Directors and appoint members of the Board of
Directors to serve on them. Each committee must have two or more members. To the
extent specified by the Board of Directors, between meetings of the Board of
Directors and subject to such limitations as may be required by law, the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, these By-laws or imposed by resolution
of the Board of Directors, such committees may exercise all of the authority of
the Board of Directors in the management of the Corporation. Meetings of the
committees may be held at any time on call of the Chief Executive Officer or of
any member of the committee. A majority of the members of a committee shall
constitute a quorum for all meetings. Committees shall keep minutes of their
proceedings and submit them to the next succeeding meeting of the Board.

         Section 4.     Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Newly
created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors or
vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason may be filled by a
vote of a majority of the directors then in office although less than a quorum
may exist. Directors appointed pursuant to this section shall hold office until
the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been
elected and qualified, or until their death, resignation or removal.

         Section 5.     Quorum. A majority of the members of the Board of
Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business or of any
specified item of business.

         Section 6.     Action of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise
required by law, the vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be

Secretary of the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures upon a certificate
may be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or
registered by a registrar other than the Corporation itself or an employee of
the Corporation. In case any officer who shall have signed such certificates
shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate shall be issued,
they may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if

Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of
any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to

destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the
Board may so long as permitted by applicable law, in its discretion and as a
condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or
destroyed certificate or certificates or his legal representative, to advertise
the same in such manner as it shall require and give the Corporation a bond in
such sum and with such surety or sureties as it may direct as indemnity against
any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the

authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or
with a transfer agent or a transfer clerk, and on surrender of the certificate
or certificates for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly
executed stock transfer power. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the
holder of record of any share as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly,
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
such share on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express
or other notice thereof except as expressly provided by the laws of South
Carolina.

suit or other proceeding (including settlement of any suit or proceeding if

reason of having been an officer, director or designated key executive. The
officers, directors and designated key executives shall not be liable for any
mistake of judgment, negligent or otherwise, except for their own individual or
willful misfeasance, malfeasance, misconduct or bad faith. The officers,
directors and designated key executives shall have no personal liability with
respect to any contract or other commitment made by the Board, in good faith, on
behalf of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall indemnify and forever hold
each such officer, director or designated key executive free and harmless
against any and all liability to others on account of any such contract or
commitment. Any right to indemnification provided for herein shall not be
exclusive of any other rights to which any officer, director, designated key
executive or former officer or director, may be entitled. The Corporation shall
maintain adequate general liability and officers and directors liability
insurance to fund this obligation, if such insurance is available at a
reasonable cost as determined by the Board of Directors.

the shareholders in the manner provided above may be modified by the Board of
Directors.

         Section 7.     Redemption of Control Shares. To the fullest extent
permitted by South Carolina Code of Laws (1976), as amended, Sections 35-2-101
et seq. (the "Control Share Acquisition Provisions"), the Corporation may redeem
"control shares" acquired in a "control share acquisition" upon appropriate
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The terms "control shares" and
