<u>Section</u> <u>3.</u> <u>Special Meeting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A special meeting of shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called (i) at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) by the Board of Directors, or (iii) by the Secretary at the request in writing of shareholders owning not less than 50% of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed meeting, which request shall be made in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (and as they may be further amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "**<u>Articles of Incorporation</u>**"), and the procedures set forth in this Section 3. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice of special meeting may be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders. For purposes hereof, a "**<u>Requesting Person</u>**" shall mean (x) the shareholder of record making the request to fix a Requested Record Date (as defined below) for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to request that the Secretary call a special meeting, (y) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different from the shareholder of record, on whose behalf such request is made and (z) any affiliate of such shareholder of record or beneficial owner(s).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No shareholder may request that the Secretary call a special meeting of shareholders pursuant to Article II, Section 3(a)(iii) of these Bylaws (a "**<u>Shareholder Requested Special Meeting</u>**") unless a shareholder of record has first submitted a request in writing that the Board of Directors fix a record date (a "**<u>Requested Record Date</u>**") for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to request that the Secretary call such special meeting, which request shall be in proper form and delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation. To be in proper form, such request shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Bear the signature and the date of signature by the shareholder of record submitting such request and set forth the name and address of such shareholder as they appear in the Corporation's books;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Include (A) a reasonably brief description of the purpose or purposes of the special meeting and the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting (the "**<u>Proposed Business</u>**"), the reasons for conducting the Proposed Business at the special meeting and any material interest in the Proposed Business of each Requesting Person and (B) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Requesting Persons or (y) between or among any Requesting Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the request for the special meeting or the Proposed Business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) As to each Requesting Person, include any other information required to be set forth in a notice under Article II, Section 10(a)(iii) of these Bylaws, except that for purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), the term "Requesting Person" shall be substituted for the term "shareholder" in all places it appears in Article II, Section 10(a)(iii) of these Bylaws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Within ten business days after the Secretary receives a request to fix a Requested Record Date in proper form and otherwise in compliance with this Section 3 from any shareholder of record, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing a Requested Record Date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to request that the Secretary call a special meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Requested Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3(c) to the contrary, no Requested Record Date shall be fixed if the Board of Directors determines that the request or requests that would otherwise be submitted following such Requested Record Date could not comply with the requirements set forth in clause (ii) or (iv) of Section 3(e) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Without qualification, a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be called unless one or more shareholders owning as of the Requested Record Date not less than 50% of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting (the "**<u>Requisite Percentage</u>**") timely provide one or more requests to call such special meeting in writing and in proper form to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's request to call a special meeting must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the 60th day following the Requested Record Date. To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 3(d), a request to call a special meeting shall include the signature and the date of signature by the shareholder submitting such request and set forth (i) if such shareholder is a shareholder of record, the name and address of such shareholder as they appear in the Corporation's books and if such shareholder is not a shareholder of record, the name and address of such shareholder, (ii) the Proposed Business, (iii) the text of the Proposed Business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), (iv) the reasons for conducting the Proposed Business at the special meeting and (v) except for any Solicited Shareholder (as defined below), the following:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) (A) Any material interest in the Proposed Business of the shareholder of record submitting such request, or if different from the shareholder of record, the beneficial owner or beneficial owners submitting such request or any affiliate of such shareholder of record or beneficial owner(s) (any such person covered by this clause (A), a "**<u>Calling Person</u>**") and (B) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Calling Persons (other than Solicited Shareholders) or (y) between or among any Calling Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the special meeting or the Proposed Business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) As to each Calling Person, the information required to be set forth in a notice under Article II, Section 10(a)(iii) of these Bylaws, except that for purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii), the term "Calling Person" shall be substituted for the term "shareholder" in all places it appears in Article II, Section 10(a)(iii) of these Bylaws. For purposes hereof, "**<u>Solicited Shareholder</u>**" means any shareholder that has provided a request to call a special meeting in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**<u>Exchange Act</u>**"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by way of a definitive consent solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14C (any such shareholder, a "**<u>Solicited Shareholder</u>**"), and "**<u>Special Meeting Request</u>**" refers to a request to call a special meeting that is delivered to the Secretary by a shareholder as of the Requested Record Date and is timely and in proper form under this Section 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, any Special Meeting Request that (i) does not comply with this Section 3, (ii) relates to an item of business proposed to be transacted at the special meeting that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law, (iii) includes an item of business proposed to be transacted at such meeting that did not appear on the written request that resulted in the determination of the Requested Record Date or (iv) otherwise does not comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) A shareholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting. If written revocation(s) of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that (after giving effect to all revocations) shareholders holding less than the Requisite Percentage have delivered Special Meeting Requests to the Secretary: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been mailed to shareholders, the Secretary shall refrain from mailing the notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or (ii) if the notice of meeting has already been mailed to shareholders, the Secretary shall revoke the notice of the meeting. If, subsequent to the refraining from mailing of the notice of meeting pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or subsequent to the revocation of the notice of meeting pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, as applicable (but in any event on or prior to the 60th day after the Requested Record Date), the Secretary has received Special Meeting Requests from shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage, then, at the Board of Directors' option, either (x) the original record date, meeting date and time, and location for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting set in accordance with Section 3(g) below shall apply with respect to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or (y) the Board of Directors may disregard the original record date, meeting date and time, and location for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting from those originally set in accordance with Section 3(g) below and, within ten days following the date on which the Secretary has received the Special Meeting Requests from shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage, set a new record date, meeting date and time, and location for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (and in such case notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 4 below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Subject to Section 3(f) above, within ten days following the date on which the Secretary has received Special Meeting Requests in accordance with this Section 3 from shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the Board of Directors shall fix the record date, meeting date and time, and location for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting; *provided*, *however*, that the date of any such Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be more than 90 days after the date on which valid Special Meeting Requests from shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage are delivered to the Secretary (and are not

------

revoked). Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting. Subject to Section 3(f) above, the record date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 11 below, and the Board of Directors shall provide notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting in accordance with Section 4 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In connection with a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting called in accordance with this Section 3, the shareholders of record (except for any Solicited Shareholder) who requested that the Board of Directors fix a Requested Record Date in accordance with Section 3(b) or the shareholders who delivered a Special Meeting Request to the Secretary in accordance with Section 3(d) shall further update the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection with such request, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such request pursuant to this Section 3 remains true and correct as of the record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is five business days after the record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (in the case of the update required to be made as of such record date) and not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is seven business days prior to the date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update required to be made as of ten business days prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting except in accordance with this Section 3. If the Board of Directors determines that any request to fix a Requested Record Date or Special Meeting Request was not properly made in accordance with this Section 3, or determines that the shareholders of record requesting that the Board of Directors fix such Requested Record Date or shareholders making the Special Meeting Request have not otherwise complied with this Section 3, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix such Requested Record Date, to fix a special meeting record date or to call and hold a special meeting. In addition to the requirements of this Section 3, each Requesting Person and shareholder making a Special Meeting Request shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any request to fix a Requested Record Date or to call a special meeting.

<u>Section</u> <u>4.</u> <u>Notice of Meetings</u>. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, notice stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be given not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, except that no notice of a meeting need be given to any shareholder for which notice is not required to be given under applicable law. The notice of meeting shall also include the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting if the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is different than the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting and, if the Board of Directors has authorized participation by means of remote communication for any class or series of shares of the Corporation's stock, the notice to the holders of such class or series must describe the means of remote communication to be used. Such notice shall be given either personally, by United States mail (which shall be first-class mail unless the notice is mailed at least 30 days before the date of the meeting, in which case it may be given by a class of United States mail other than first class), by telegraphic or other written communication, or by a form of electronic transmission then consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given. Notice shall be deemed to have been given as determined in accordance with Section 4 of Article VIII of these Bylaws.

------

<u>Section</u> <u>5.</u> <u>Proxies</u>. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 11 months from its date, 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 Section 607.0722 of the Act. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

<u>Section</u> <u>6.</u> <u>Quorum</u>. Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy, and who would be entitled to vote at a meeting if a quorum were present, may adjourn such meeting from time to time. If a quorum is initially present, the shareholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at the meeting as originally called, it shall also be deemed present at an adjourned session of such meeting, unless a new record date is or is required to be set for the adjourned meeting.

<u>Section</u> <u>7.</u> <u>Adjourned or Postponed Meetings</u>. In addition to any adjournment as provided by Section 6 above, any annual or special meeting may be adjourned from time to time for any reasonable purpose and to any other time and other place at which a meeting of shareholders may be held under these Bylaws (including by remote communication) by the chairman of the meeting or the Board of Directors. For any adjournment of an annual or special meeting, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place (or modified terms of participation by remote communication) if the new date, time or place (or modified terms of participation by remote communication) is announced at the meeting before the adjournment, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed pursuant to the Act, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting must be given pursuant to the Act and these Bylaws to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date who are entitled to notice of the meeting. At any adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that may have been transacted at the original meeting. The Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the holding of an annual meeting or a special meeting of shareholders (other than a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting) and for any reasonable reason, postpone or cancel such meeting.

<u>Section</u> <u>8.</u> <u>Conduct of Meetings</u>. Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Chairman's absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the Chairman and the Vice Chairman, then by a chairman of the meeting designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary's absence, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action as, in the discretion of the chairman of the meeting and without any action by the shareholders, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting, including (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting; (b) limiting attendance at the meeting to shareholders of record, their duly authorized proxies and such other individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to shareholders of record entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies and other such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (d) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments; (e) determining when and for how long the polls should be opened and when the polls should be closed; (f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing any shareholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as

------

set forth by the chairman of the meeting; (h) concluding the meeting; (i) restricting the use of audio/video recording devices, cell phones and other electronic devices; and (j) complying with any state and local laws and regulations concerning safety and security. Unless otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

<u>Section</u> <u>9.</u> <u>Voting of Shares</u>. Each outstanding share of voting capital stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the shareholders, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation. Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, if a quorum is present:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a nominee for director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote on the election; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at such meeting if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected. In the event an incumbent director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast (unless, as provided above, the director election standard is a plurality of the votes cast), the incumbent director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors, taking into account the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will determine whether to accept or reject such resignation, or what other action should be taken, within 100 days from the date of the certification of election results; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) action on any matter other than the election of directors shall be approved if the votes cast by the holders of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.

<u>Section</u> <u>10.</u> <u>Shareholder Nominations and Proposals</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Annual Meetings of Shareholders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders solely (A) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any shareholder of the Corporation who (1) is a shareholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this Section 10(a), at the time of the record date for the annual meeting and at the time of the annual meeting (including any postponement or adjournment thereof), (2) is entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (3) complies with the notice procedures and other requirements set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) For any nomination or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to Section 10(a)(i)(C), the nomination or other business must be permitted by law, the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws, and the shareholder must, in addition to complying with the provisions of Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to any nomination, give timely valid written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall set forth all information required under this Section 10 and shall be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 90 days nor earlier than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or later than 60 days after such anniversary, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, in order for notice by the shareholder to be timely, such notice must be so delivered no more than 190 days prior to such annual meeting nor less than the later of (A) 90 days prior to the date of such annual meeting and (B) the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If information submitted pursuant to this Section 10 by any shareholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of shareholders shall be inaccurate in any respect, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 10.

Nothing in this Section 10 shall require disclosure of revocable proxies received by the shareholder or Shareholder Associated Person pursuant to a solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule 14A by such shareholder or Shareholder Associated Person under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise required by law, (i) no shareholder shall solicit proxies in support of a Proposed Nominee other than the Corporation's nominees unless such shareholder has complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in

Subject to the provisions of this Section 10(d) of this Article II, if expressly requested in a Qualified Nomination Notice delivered by a Nominating Shareholder, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of the shareholders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the name of the Nominee, which shall also be included on the Corporation's form of proxy and ballot;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) disclosures about the Nominee and Nominating Shareholder required under the rules of the SEC or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) any statement included by the Nominating Shareholder in the Qualified Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Nominee's election to the Board of Directors (subject, without limitation, to Section 10(d)(v)(B) of this Article II), if such statement does not exceed 500 words and fully complies with Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Rule 14a-9; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) any other information that the Corporation or the Board of Directors determines, in its discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Maximum Number of Nominees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of the shareholder more Nominees than the Maximum Number for such annual meeting. The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting of the shareholders shall be reduced by: (1) Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting, (2) Nominees who cease to satisfy, or Nominees of Nominating Shareholders that cease to satisfy, the eligibility requirements in this Article II, Section 10(d) and (3) the number of incumbent directors who were Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of the shareholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of the shareholders is being recommended by the Board of Directors. If one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline set forth in Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II, but before the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders, and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) If the number of Nominees pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II for any annual meeting of the shareholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Corporation, each Nominating Shareholder will select one Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Nominating Shareholder's Qualified Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Shareholder has selected

------

one Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Qualified Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II, a Nominating Shareholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination, or a Nominee becomes unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors, whether before or after the delivery of the definitive proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the Corporation (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Nominee or any successor or replacement Nominee proposed by the Nominating Shareholder or by any other Nominating Shareholder, and (2) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including, without limitation, by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Nominee will not be included as a Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting of the shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Eligibility of Nominating Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) An Eligible Holder or group of up to twenty (20) Eligible Holders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 10(d) of this Article II only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number of shares of the common stock of the Corporation (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events) throughout the three (3)-year period preceding, including the date of submission of, the Qualified Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders. A group of funds under common management and investment control shall be treated as one Eligible Holder if such Eligible Holder shall provide, together with the Qualified Nomination Notice, documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that the funds are under common management and investment control. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Holders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Holder that are set forth in this Section 10(d) of this Article II, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. If any shareholder withdraws from a group of Eligible Holders acting together as a Nominating Shareholder at any time prior to the annual meeting of the shareholders, the group of Eligible Holders shall only be treated as owning the shares held by the remaining members of the group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) For purposes of this Section 10(d) of this Article II, an Eligible Holder "owns" only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the Eligible Holder possesses both: (1) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and (2) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares. The number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) shall not include any shares: (a) purchased or sold by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (b) sold short by such Eligible Holder, (c) borrowed by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Holder 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, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Holder 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 outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Holder's or any of its affiliates' full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Holder "owns" shares held in the name of a Nominee or other intermediary, so long as the Eligible Holder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) in the shares. An Eligible Holder's ownership of shares shall be deemed to

------

continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Holder. The terms "owned," "owning" and other variations of the word "own" shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation are "owned" for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) No person shall be permitted to be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Shareholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Qualified Nomination Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Qualified Nomination Notice. To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Shareholder must, no earlier than 150 days and no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date that the Corporation delivered its proxy statement for the prior year's annual meeting of the shareholders, submit to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation all of the following information and documents (collectively, the "Qualified Nomination Notice"), and in no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of the annual meeting of shareholders commence a new time period for the giving of the Qualified Nomination Notice as provided above; provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting of the shareholders is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting of shareholders and ends 30 days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting of the shareholders date outside such period being referred to herein as an "Other Meeting Date"), the Qualified Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) A Schedule 14N (or any successor form) relating to the Nominee, completed and filed with the SEC by the Nominating Shareholder as applicable, in accordance with SEC rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) An executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors, which must be submitted within seven days of the Nominating Shareholder's first submission of any information required by this Section 10(d) of this Article II, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors or its designee, pursuant to which the Nominating Shareholder (including each group member) agrees: (1) to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the nomination, solicitation and election; (2) to file any written solicitation or other communication with the Corporation's shareholders relating to one or more of the Corporation's directors or director nominees or any Nominee with the SEC, regardless of whether any such filing is required under rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under any rule or regulation; (3) to assume all liability stemming from an action, suit or proceeding concerning any actual or alleged legal or regulatory violation arising out of any communication or action by the Nominating Shareholder or any of its Nominees with the Corporation, its shareholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors, including, without limitation, the Qualified Nomination Notice; and (4) to indemnify and hold harmless (jointly with all other group members, in the case of a group member) the Corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss, damages, expenses or other costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative, or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of or relating to a failure or alleged failure of the Nominating Shareholder to comply with, or any breach or alleged breach of, its obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 10(d) of this Article II, or otherwise arising out of any nomination, solicitation or other activity by any Nominating Shareholder in connection with its efforts under this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) An executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory to the Board of Directors, which must be submitted within seven days of the Nominating Shareholder's first submission of any information required by this Section 10(d) of this Article II, in a form determined to be satisfactory by the Board of Directors, or its designee, by the Nominee: (1) to provide to the Corporation such other information, including completion of the Corporation's director questionnaire, as it may reasonably request; and (2) that includes the representation and agreement set forth in Section 10(a)(iii)(B)(5) of these Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) In the event that any information or communications provided by a Nominating Shareholder or Nominee to the Corporation or its shareholders is not, when provided, or thereafter ceases to be, true, correct and complete in all material respects (including omitting a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), each Nominating Shareholder or Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation and provide the information that is required to make such information or communication true, correct, complete and not misleading; it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any such defect or limit the Board of Directors' right to omit a Nominee from its proxy materials.

The information and documents required by this Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II shall be: (A) provided with respect to and executed by each group member, in the case of information applicable to group members; and (B) provided with respect to the persons specified in Instruction 1 to Items 6(c) and (d) of Schedule 14N (or any successor items) in the case of a Nominating Shareholder or group member that is an entity. The Qualified Nomination Notice shall be deemed submitted on the date on which all the information and documents referred to in this Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II (other than such information and documents contemplated to be provided after the date the Qualified Nomination Notice is provided) have been delivered to or, if sent by mail, received by the Secretary of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Authority of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power and authority to interpret the provisions of this Article II, Section 10(d) and make, in good faith, all determinations deemed necessary or advisable in connection with this Article II, Section 10(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement any Nominee and any information concerning such Nominee (including a Nominating Shareholder's statement in support) and no vote on such Nominee will occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation), and the Nominating Shareholder may not, after the last day on which a Qualified Nomination Notice would be timely, cure in any way any defect preventing the nomination of the Nominee, if: (1) the Nominating Shareholder or the designated lead group member, as applicable, or any qualified representative thereof, does not appear at the meeting of shareholders to present the nomination submitted pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Nominating Shareholder withdraws its nomination or the presiding officer of the annual meeting declares that such nomination was not made in accordance with this Article II, Section 10(d) and shall therefore be disregarded; (2) the Board of Directors, determines that such Nominee's nomination or election to the Board of Directors would result in the Corporation violating or failing to be in compliance with these Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation or any applicable law, rule or regulation to which the Corporation is subject, including any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the Corporation's securities are traded; (3) the Nominee was nominated for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II at one of the Corporation's two (2) preceding Annual Meetings of shareholders and either withdrew or became ineligible or received less than 25% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast for such Nominee; (4) the Nominee has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined for purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, or (5) the Corporation is notified, or the Board of Directors determines, that a Nominating Shareholder has failed to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements described in Section 10(d)(iv) of this Article II,

------

any of the representations and warranties made in the Qualified Nomination Notice ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or omits a material fact necessary to make the statement not misleading), the Nominee becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the Board of Directors or any material violation or breach occurs of the obligations, agreements, representations or warranties of the Nominating Shareholder or the Nominee under this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement, or may supplement or correct, any information, including all or any portion of the statement in support of the Nominee included in the Nomination Notice, if the Board of Directors determines that: (1) such information is not true in all material respects or omits a material statement necessary to make the statements made not misleading; (2) such information directly or indirectly impugns character, integrity or personal reputation of, or directly or indirectly makes charges concerning improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations, without factual foundation, with respect to, any person; or (3) the inclusion of such information in the proxy statement would otherwise violate the SEC proxy rules or any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The Corporation may solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statement relating to, any Nominee."

<u>Section</u> <u>11.</u> <u>Record Date for Shareholder Notice</u>. The Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting. Such record date, in the case of a meeting, shall not be more than 70 days or less than 10 days prior to the date of such meeting, and in the case of any other action, shall not be more than 70 days prior to any action permitted by the laws of the State of Florida. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

------

<u>Section</u> <u>13.</u> <u>Inspectors of Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Appointment of Inspectors of Election</u>. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board may appoint one or more persons, other than nominees for office, as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or his proxy or as otherwise required by law shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Duties of Inspectors</u>. The inspectors of election shall determine the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity and validity of proxies and ballots, receive votes, ballots or consents, count and tabulate all votes and ballots, determine the results, retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, certify in writing their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots, and do such acts as otherwise required by law or as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Vote of Inspectors</u>. If there are more than one inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Report of Inspectors</u>. On request of the chairman of the meeting or of any shareholder or his proxy, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them is prima facie evidence of the facts stated herein.

<u>Section</u> <u>14.</u> <u>Action Without Meeting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any action that the shareholders could take at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents, setting forth the action taken, shall be signed and dated by the holders of outstanding stock of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and if the procedures in this Section 14 shall be complied with.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date (the "**<u>Consent Record Date</u>**"), which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation, first request that the Board of Directors fix a Consent Record Date for such purpose, which request shall be in proper form as provided in Article II, Section 14(c) of these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a request is received or, if later, five days after delivery of any information requested by the Corporation to determine the validity of any such request or whether the action to which such request relates is an action that may be taken by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting, determine the validity of such request and whether such request relates to an action that may be taken by written consent of the shareholders in lieu of a meeting under this Section 14(b) and applicable law. If such request is valid, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 14(b)). If (i) the request required by this Section 14(b) has been determined by the Board of Directors to be valid and to relate to an action that may be effected by written consent in accordance with this Section 14(b) and applicable law or (ii) no such determination shall have been made by the date required by this Section 14(b), and in either event no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date

------

for determining shareholders entitled to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Article II, Section 14(d) of these Bylaws. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting shall be at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To be in proper form for purposes of Article II, Section 14(b) of these Bylaws, a request by a shareholder for the Board of Directors to fix a record date shall set forth the action proposed to be taken by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting and must contain such information and representations, to the extent applicable, required by these Bylaws as though such shareholder were intending to make a nomination or to bring a business proposal before a meeting of shareholders (including the notice and other procedures set forth in Article II, Section 10 of these Bylaws). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14(c), upon receipt of a request by a shareholder to set a record date in order to have shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent, the Board of Directors may require the shareholder(s) submitting such request to furnish such other information as may be requested by the Board of Directors to determine the validity of the request required by this Section 14(c) and to determine whether such request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting under this Section 14 and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Every written consent pursuant to this Section 14 shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who shall sign such consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by this Section 14, written consents signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take the action shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to the Corporation's principal office in the State of Florida, the Corporation's principal place of business, the Secretary of the Corporation or another officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the shareholders are recorded. Delivery of written consents under this Section 14 shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide for the safekeeping of such consents and revocations and shall promptly engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of election for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. Subject to applicable law, no action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such inspectors of election have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Any shareholder seeking an action proposed to be taken by written consent shall further update the information previously provided by such shareholder to the Corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 14 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for determining the shareholders eligible to take such action and (ii) as of the date that is ten days prior to the date the consent solicitation is commenced. Such update shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is five business days after the Consent Record Date (in the case of the update required to be made as of the record date) and not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is five business days prior to the date that the consent solicitation is commenced (in the case of the update required to be made as of ten business days prior to the date the consent solicitation is commenced).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder's proxy holder, may revoke the consent in any manner permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (i) none of the provisions of this Section 14 shall apply to any solicitation of shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (ii) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit shareholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notice of the taking of any corporate action by written consent shall be given to those shareholders who shall not have consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action within 10 days after the Corporation has obtained such authorization by written consent in accordance with this Section 14, including Section 14(e) as applicable. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be such for which appraisal rights are provided under the Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders entitled to assert appraisal rights under the Act with respect to the action to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of the Act regarding the rights of shareholders entitled to assert appraisal rights under the Act with respect to the action..

Subject to Section 3(f) above, the record date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 11 below, and the Board of Directors shall provide notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting in accordance with Section 4 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If information submitted pursuant to this Section 10 by any shareholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of shareholders shall be inaccurate in any respect, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 10.

Nothing in this Section 10 shall require disclosure of revocable proxies received by the shareholder or Shareholder Associated Person pursuant to a solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule 14A by such shareholder or Shareholder Associated Person under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise required by law, (i) no shareholder shall solicit proxies in support of a Proposed Nominee other than the Corporation's nominees unless such shareholder has complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) disclosures about the Nominee and Nominating Shareholder required under the rules of the SEC or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) any statement included by the Nominating Shareholder in the Qualified Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Nominee's election to the Board of Directors (subject, without limitation, to Section 10(d)(v)(B) of this Article II), if such statement does not exceed 500 words and fully complies with Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Rule 14a-9; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) any other information that the Corporation or the Board of Directors determines, in its discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Maximum Number of Nominees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of the shareholder more Nominees than the Maximum Number for such annual meeting. The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting of the shareholders shall be reduced by: (1) Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting, (2) Nominees who cease to satisfy, or Nominees of Nominating Shareholders that cease to satisfy, the eligibility requirements in this Article II, Section 10(d) and (3) the number of incumbent directors who were Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of the shareholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of the shareholders is being recommended by the Board of Directors. If one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline set forth in Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II, but before the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders, and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) If the number of Nominees pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II for any annual meeting of the shareholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Corporation, each Nominating Shareholder will select one Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Nominating Shareholder's Qualified Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Shareholder has selected

------

one Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Qualified Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II, a Nominating Shareholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination, or a Nominee becomes unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors, whether before or after the delivery of the definitive proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the Corporation (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Nominee or any successor or replacement Nominee proposed by the Nominating Shareholder or by any other Nominating Shareholder, and (2) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including, without limitation, by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Nominee will not be included as a Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting of the shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Eligibility of Nominating Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) An Eligible Holder or group of up to twenty (20) Eligible Holders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 10(d) of this Article II only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number of shares of the common stock of the Corporation (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events) throughout the three (3)-year period preceding, including the date of submission of, the Qualified Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders. A group of funds under common management and investment control shall be treated as one Eligible Holder if such Eligible Holder shall provide, together with the Qualified Nomination Notice, documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that the funds are under common management and investment control. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Holders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Holder that are set forth in this Section 10(d) of this Article II, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. If any shareholder withdraws from a group of Eligible Holders acting together as a Nominating Shareholder at any time prior to the annual meeting of the shareholders, the group of Eligible Holders shall only be treated as owning the shares held by the remaining members of the group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) For purposes of this Section 10(d) of this Article II, an Eligible Holder "owns" only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the Eligible Holder possesses both: (1) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and (2) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares. The number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) shall not include any shares: (a) purchased or sold by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (b) sold short by such Eligible Holder, (c) borrowed by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Holder 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, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Holder 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 outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Holder's or any of its affiliates' full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Holder "owns" shares held in the name of a Nominee or other intermediary, so long as the Eligible Holder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) in the shares. An Eligible Holder's ownership of shares shall be deemed to

------

continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Holder. The terms "owned," "owning" and other variations of the word "own" shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation are "owned" for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) No person shall be permitted to be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Shareholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Qualified Nomination Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Qualified Nomination Notice. To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Shareholder must, no earlier than 150 days and no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date that the Corporation delivered its proxy statement for the prior year's annual meeting of the shareholders, submit to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation all of the following information and documents (collectively, the "Qualified Nomination Notice"), and in no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of the annual meeting of shareholders commence a new time period for the giving of the Qualified Nomination Notice as provided above; provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting of the shareholders is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting of shareholders and ends 30 days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting of the shareholders date outside such period being referred to herein as an "Other Meeting Date"), the Qualified Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) A Schedule 14N (or any successor form) relating to the Nominee, completed and filed with the SEC by the Nominating Shareholder as applicable, in accordance with SEC rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) An executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors, which must be submitted within seven days of the Nominating Shareholder's first submission of any information required by this Section 10(d) of this Article II, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors or its designee, pursuant to which the Nominating Shareholder (including each group member) agrees: (1) to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the nomination, solicitation and election; (2) to file any written solicitation or other communication with the Corporation's shareholders relating to one or more of the Corporation's directors or director nominees or any Nominee with the SEC, regardless of whether any such filing is required under rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under any rule or regulation; (3) to assume all liability stemming from an action, suit or proceeding concerning any actual or alleged legal or regulatory violation arising out of any communication or action by the Nominating Shareholder or any of its Nominees with the Corporation, its shareholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors, including, without limitation, the Qualified Nomination Notice; and (4) to indemnify and hold harmless (jointly with all other group members, in the case of a group member) the Corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss, damages, expenses or other costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative, or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of or relating to a failure or alleged failure of the Nominating Shareholder to comply with, or any breach or alleged breach of, its obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 10(d) of this Article II, or otherwise arising out of any nomination, solicitation or other activity by any Nominating Shareholder in connection with its efforts under this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) An executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory to the Board of Directors, which must be submitted within seven days of the Nominating Shareholder's first submission of any information required by this Section 10(d) of this Article II, in a form determined to be satisfactory by the Board of Directors, or its designee, by the Nominee: (1) to provide to the Corporation such other

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) In the event that any information or communications provided by a Nominating Shareholder or Nominee to the Corporation or its shareholders is not, when provided, or thereafter ceases to be, true, correct and complete in all material respects (including omitting a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), each Nominating Shareholder or Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation and provide the information that is required to make such information or communication true, correct, complete and not misleading; it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any such defect or limit the Board of Directors' right to omit a Nominee from its proxy materials.

The information and documents required by this Section 10(d)(v) of this Article II shall be: (A) provided with respect to and executed by each group member, in the case of information applicable to group members; and (B) provided with respect to the persons specified in Instruction 1 to Items 6(c) and (d) of Schedule 14N (or any successor items) in the case of a Nominating Shareholder or group member that is an entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Authority of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power and authority to interpret the provisions of this Article II, Section 10(d) and make, in good faith, all determinations deemed necessary or advisable in connection with this Article II, Section 10(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement any Nominee and any information concerning such Nominee (including a Nominating Shareholder's statement in support) and no vote on such Nominee will occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation), and the Nominating Shareholder may not, after the last day on which a Qualified Nomination Notice would be timely, cure in any way any defect preventing the nomination of the Nominee, if: (1) the Nominating Shareholder or the designated lead group member, as applicable, or any qualified representative thereof, does not appear at the meeting of shareholders to present the nomination submitted pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Nominating Shareholder withdraws its nomination or the presiding officer of the annual meeting declares that such nomination was not made in accordance with this Article II, Section 10(d) and shall therefore be disregarded; (2) the Board of Directors, determines that such Nominee's nomination or election to the Board of Directors would result in the Corporation violating or failing to be in compliance with these Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation or any applicable law, rule or regulation to which the Corporation is subject, including any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the Corporation's securities are traded; (3) the Nominee was nominated for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 10(d) of this Article II at one of the Corporation's two (2) preceding Annual Meetings of shareholders and either withdrew or became ineligible or received less than 25% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast for such Nominee; (4) the Nominee has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined for purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, or (5) the Corporation is notified, or the Board of Directors determines, that a Nominating Shareholder has failed to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements described in Section 10(d)(iv) of this Article II,

------

any of the representations and warranties made in the Qualified Nomination Notice ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or omits a material fact necessary to make the statement not misleading), the Nominee becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the Board of Directors or any material violation or breach occurs of the obligations, agreements, representations or warranties of the Nominating Shareholder or the Nominee under this Section 10(d) of this Article II.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10(d) of this Article II, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement, or may supplement or correct, any information, including all or any portion of the statement in support of the Nominee included in the Nomination Notice, if the Board of Directors determines that: (1) such information is not true in all material respects or omits a material statement necessary to make the statements made not misleading; (2) such information directly or indirectly impugns character, integrity or personal reputation of, or directly or indirectly makes charges concerning improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations, without factual foundation, with respect to, any person; or (3) the inclusion of such information in the proxy statement would otherwise violate the SEC proxy rules or any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The Corporation may solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statement relating to, any Nominee."

<u>Section</u> <u>11.</u> <u>Record Date for Shareholder Notice</u>. The Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting.

<u>Section</u> <u>13.</u> <u>Inspectors of Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Appointment of Inspectors of Election</u>. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board may appoint one or more persons, other than nominees for office, as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any

------

shareholder or his proxy <u>or as otherwise required by law</u> shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Duties of Inspectors</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Vote of Inspectors</u>. If there are more than one inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Report of Inspectors</u>. On request of the chairman of the meeting or of any shareholder or his proxy, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them is prima facie evidence of the facts stated herein.

<u>Section</u> <u>14.</u> <u>Action Without Meeting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any action that the shareholders could take at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents, setting forth the action taken, shall be signed and dated, by the holders of outstanding stock of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and if the procedures in this Section 14 shall be complied with.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date (the "**<u>Consent Record Date</u>**"), which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation, first request that the Board of Directors fix a Consent Record Date for such purpose, which request shall be in proper form as provided in Article II, Section 14(c) of these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a request is received or, if later, five days after delivery of any information requested by the Corporation to determine the validity of any such request or whether the action to which such request relates is an action that may be taken by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting, determine the validity of such request and whether such request relates to an action that may be taken by written consent of the shareholders in lieu of a meeting under this Section 14(b) and applicable law. If such request is valid, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 14(b)). If (i) the request required by this Section 14(b) has been determined by the Board of Directors to be valid and to relate to an action that may be effected by written consent in accordance with this Section 14(b) and applicable law or (ii) no such determination shall have been made by the date required by this Section 14(b), and in either event no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date

------

for determining shareholders entitled to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Article II, Section 14(d) of these Bylaws. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting shall be at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To be in proper form for purposes of Article II, Section 14(b) of these Bylaws , a request by a shareholder for the Board of Directors to fix a record date shall set forth the action proposed to be taken by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting and must contain such information and representations, to the extent applicable, required by these Bylaws as though such shareholder were intending to make a nomination or to bring a business proposal before a meeting of shareholders (including the notice and other procedures set forth in Article II, Section 10 of these Bylaws). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14(c), upon receipt of a request by a shareholder to set a record date in order to have shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent, the Board of Directors may require the shareholder(s) submitting such request to furnish such other information as may be requested by the Board of Directors to determine the validity of the request required by this Section 14(c) and to determine whether such request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting under this Section 14 and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Every written consent pursuant to this Section 14 shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who shall sign such consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by this Section 14, written consents signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take <u>the</u> action shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to the Corporation's principal office in the State of Florida, the Corporation's principal place of business, the Secretary of the Corporation or another officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the shareholders are recorded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide for the safekeeping of such consents and revocations and shall promptly engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of election for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. Subject to applicable law, no action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such inspectors of election have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Any shareholder seeking an action proposed to be taken by written consent shall further update the information previously provided by such shareholder to the Corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 14 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for determining the shareholders eligible to take such action and (ii) as of the date that is ten days prior to the date the consent solicitation is commenced. Such update shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time <u>on the date that is</u> five business days after the Consent Record Date (in the case of the update required to be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder's proxy holder, may revoke the consent in any manner permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (i) none of the provisions of this Section 14 shall apply to any solicitation of shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (ii) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit shareholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notice of the taking of any corporate action by written consent shall be given to those shareholders who shall not have consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action within 10 days after the Corporation has obtained such authorization by written consent in accordance with this Section 14, including Section 14(e) as applicable. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be such for which dissenters' <u>appraisal</u> rights are provided under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the notice shall contain <u>a clear statement of the right of shareholders entitled to assert appraisal rights under the Act with respect to the action to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of</u> <u>the Act</u> <u>regarding the rights of shareholders entitled to assert appraisal rights under</u> <u>the</u> <u>Act with</u> <u>respect to the action.</u> a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of this Act regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

As provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the number of directors shall consist of not less than three members, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.
