**ARTICLE II**

**SHAREHOLDERS**

**Section 2.01 PLACE OF MEETING**. Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at any other place, either in or outside the State of Georgia, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and designated in the notice of the meeting or executed waiver of notice.

An annual meeting of shareholders, for the purpose of electing directors and transacting any other business as may be brought before the meeting, shall be held at 10:00 a.m. on the second Wednesday in March in each year, if not a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held, and if a legal holiday in such place, then on the next full business day following such date/the date and time set by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time shall not affect the validity of any action taken by the Corporation. If the Board of Directors fails to call an annual meeting within six months of the end of the Corporation's fiscal year or 15 months after the last annual meeting, any shareholder may make a demand in writing to any officer of the Corporation that an annual meeting be held.

**Section 2.03 SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS**. Special meetings of shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors, or on the written demand of the holders of at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting. To demand a special meeting, the shareholders of the required percentage of shares must sign, date, and deliver to the Corporation's Secretary one or more demands for the meeting, describing the purposes for which the meeting is to be held.

------

**Section 2.04 FIXING THE RECORD DATE**. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the record date shall be the date specified by the Board of Directors in the notice of the meeting or, if no date is specified, the close of business on the day before the notice of the meeting is mailed to shareholders.

A record date fixed under this Section may not be more than 70 days before the meeting. A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders' meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date that is more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

**Section 2.05 NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING**. Written notice stating the place, date, and time of the meeting, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice may be conducted at a special meeting.

Notice shall be given personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder's address as it appears on the share transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

Any person entitled to notice of a meeting may sign a written waiver of notice either before or after the time of the meeting. The participation or attendance at a meeting of a person entitled to notice constitutes waiver of notice, except where the person attends for the specific purpose of objecting to the lawfulness of the convening of the meeting.

**Section 2.06 VOTING LISTS**. After fixing a record date for a shareholders' meeting, the officer or agent having charge of the share transfer records for shares of the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of all shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders, arranged by voting group and by class and series of shares, showing the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder during regular corporate hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation and on a reasonably accessible electronic network. The list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the entire meeting.

**Section 2.07 QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS**. A quorum shall be present for action on any matter by a voting group at a meeting of shareholders if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the voting group are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Once a share is represented at a meeting for any purpose other than solely to object to holding or transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting.

------

The holders of a majority of the voting shares represented in person or by proxy at a meeting, even if not comprising a quorum, may adjourn the meeting from time to time.

**Section 2.08 CONDUCT OF MEETINGS**. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt by resolution rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the shareholders as it deems appropriate. At every meeting of the shareholders, the President, or in such person's absence or inability to act, a director or officer designated by the Board of Directors, shall serve as chair of the meeting. The Secretary or, in the Secretary's absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

The chair of the meeting shall determine the order of business and, in the absence of a rule adopted by the Board of Directors, shall establish rules for the conduct of the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall announce the close of the polls for each matter voted upon at the meeting, after which no ballots, proxies, votes, changes, or revocations will be accepted. Polls for all matters before the meeting will be deemed to be closed upon final adjournment of the meeting.

**Section 2.09 VOTING OF SHARES**. Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except as otherwise provided herein and to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote per share or limits or denies voting rights to the holders of the shares of any class or series.

Unless a greater affirmative number is required by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "**BCC**"), if a quorum of a voting group exists, action other than the election of directors is approved by a voting group if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast against the action.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Shareholders are prohibited from cumulating their votes in any election of directors of the Corporation.

**Section 2.10 VOTING BY PROXY OR NOMINEE**. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized by the Corporation to tabulate votes. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise expressly provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy shall not revoke the proxy's authority unless the Corporation receives notice of the death or incapacity before the proxy is exercised.

Shares of the Corporation's stock owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation itself or by another corporation of which the Corporation owns shares sufficient to elect a majority of the directors, shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting the right of the Corporation or any domestic or foreign corporation or other entity to vote shares held or controlled by it in a fiduciary capacity.

------

Shares owned by another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by any officer, agent, proxy, or other legal representative authorized to vote such shares under the law of incorporation of such corporation.

Shares registered in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward, or a person under legal disability may be voted by the person's administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian. Shares registered in the name of a trustee may be voted by such trustee, either in person or by proxy. Shares registered in the name of, and shares held by or under the control of, a receiver may be voted by such receiver, without the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which the receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the transferred shares, subject to any agreements containing restrictions on the hypothecation, assignment, pledge, or voluntary or involuntary transfer of shares.

**Section 2.11 ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING**. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents, in writing or signed electronically and setting forth the action so taken, are signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

No written consent shall be effective unless:

(a) The consenting shareholder either:

(i) Was furnished the same material required to be sent in a notice of a meeting at which the action would have been submitted for shareholder action, including notice of any applicable dissenters' rights.

(ii) Expressly waives the right to receive such material.

(b) Within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation, written consents sufficient to take the action are delivered to the Corporation. The written consents must bear the date of signature.

For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to take action by written consent without a meeting, the record date shall be the date the first shareholder signs the written consent.

If the BCC requires that the Corporation give notice of shareholder action to nonvoting shareholders, the Corporation shall give all nonvoting shareholders, not more than ten days after action is taken by written consent, written notice of the action, together with the same material required to be sent to nonvoting shareholders in a notice of a meeting at which the action would have been submitted for shareholder action.

------

The written consents must be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion with the minutes of meetings or filing with the records of the Corporation.

**ARTICLE III**<br> **DIRECTORS**

**Section 3.01 POWERS**. All corporate power shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors, except such powers expressly conferred upon or reserved to the shareholders, and subject to any limitations set forth by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws.
