ARTICLE II

Payments or Distributions to Employee, Employee’s Beneficiaries and Grantor

     2.1 Purchase of Annuity. Upon execution of this Agreement, it is the Trustee’s
intention to use the funds contributed by the Grantor to purchase an annuity from Northwestern
Mutual Financial Network (“Northwestern”). Beginning on May 17, 2004, such annuity shall make an
annual payment of $200,000 to the trust. Each subsequent annual annuity payment shall be made on
the anniversary date of the original payment for a total of ten (10) consecutive years.

     2.2 Withholding and Payouts. Upon the receipt of each such annual annuity payment, the
Trustee shall make provisions for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local
taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and shall pay amounts withheld to the Grantor. Withing thirty (30) days of
receipt of the annual annuity payment from Northwestern, the Trustee shall make an annual payment
to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, of all funds remaining after
withholding and subject to the provisions of Section 1.4 of Article I hereof for the ten (10) year
payment period.

     2.3 Payments to Grantor. Except as provided in Article III hereof, the Grantor shall
have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the Grantor or to divert to others any of
the trust estate before all Payments have been made to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiaries
pursuant to the terms of the trust.

     2.4 Discretionary Distribution by Trustee. At any time after a Change of Control as
defined in Section 2.5 hereof, the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, distribute the
annuity from Northwestern to the Employee or Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, if the
Trustee deems, in his

-4-

 

sole discretion, that such distribution is in the best interests of the Employee or Employee’s
beneficiary or beneficiaries.

     2.5 Change of Control. For purposes of this trust, Change of Control shall mean: the
purchase or other acquisition by any person, entity or group of persons, within the meaning of
section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”), or any comparable successor
provisions, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of
thirty percent (30%) or more of either the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined
voting power of the Grantor’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally, or the
approval by the stockholders of the Grantor of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in each
case, with respect to which persons who were stockholders of the Grantor immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
reorganized, merged or consolidated then outstanding securities of the Grantor, or a liquidation or
dissolution of the Grantor or of the sale of all or substantially all of the Grantor’s assets;
provided, however, that, even if there shall be the foregoing change in percentage ownership, a
Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur until the Employee ceases to act as both the acting
Chief Executive Officer of the Grantor and a member of the Board of Directors of the Grantor.

ARTICLE III

Provisions Related to Insolvency

     3.1 Payments when Grantor is Insolvent. The Trustee shall make no Payments to the
Employee or the Employee’s beneficiaries if the Grantor is Insolvent. The Grantor shall be
considered “Insolvent”

-5-

 

for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Grantor is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or
(ii) the Grantor is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy
Court.

     3.2 Determination of Grantor’s Insolvency. At all times during the continuance of
this trust, as provided in Section 1.4 hereof, the trust estate of the trust shall be subject to
claims of general creditors of the Grantor under federal and state law as set forth below.

	 	(a)	 	The Board of the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Grantor shall
have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Grantor’s Insolvency. If a person
claiming to be a creditor of the Grantor alleges in writing to the Trustee that the
Grantor has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the Grantor is
Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue Payments to
the Employee or his beneficiaries.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Grantor’s Insolvency, or has
received notice from the Grantor or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that
the Grantor is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Grantor
is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the
Grantor’s solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee
with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Grantor’s solvency.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Grantor is Insolvent, the
Trustee shall discontinue Payments to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiaries and
shall hold the assets of the trust for the benefit of the Grantor’s general creditors.
Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of the Employee or the
Employee’s beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Grantor
with respect to benefits due under the trust or otherwise.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Trustee shall resume payments to the Employee or the Employee’s
beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement only after the Trusted
has determined that the Grantor is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

     3.3 Continuing Payments. Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee
discontinues Payments from the trust pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and subsequently resumes such
Payments pursuant to Section 3.2(d) hereof, the first Payment following such discontinuance shall
include the aggregate amount of all Payments due to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary or
beneficiaries under the terms of the trust for the period of such discontinuance, less the
aggregate amount of any

-6-

 

Payments made to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries by the Grantor in lieu
of the Payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

ARTICLE IV

Administrative Provisions

     4.1 Receipt of Distributee. The receipt of any distributee referred to in this
Agreement shall constitute a full release and discharge to the Trustee upon making a Payment as
aforesaid to such distributee.

     4.2 Waiver of Bond and Court Approval. No Trustee shall be required to furnish bond or
security for the proper performance of his duties, but if any such bond is nevertheless required by
any law, statute or rule of court, no surety shall be required thereon. This waiver shall apply,
without limiting the generality thereof, to all bonds or security required under the Probate Act of
Illinois as now or at any time hereafter in effect. No Trustee shall be required to obtain the
order or approval of any court in the exercise of any power or discretion.

     4.3 Dealings with Trustee. Every act of the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence in
favor of every person relying thereon that (a) the trust is, at the time, in full force and effect; (b) such
act is done in accordance with the provisions of the trust; and (c) the Trustee is duly empowered
to perform such act.

     4.4 Sufficiency of Notice. The Trustee may rely upon any notice, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed by him to be genuine, of upon any
evidence deemed by him to be sufficient, in making any Payment. The Trustee shall incur no liability
for any Payment made

-7-

 

in good faith and without actual notice or knowledge of a changed condition or status affecting any
interest constituted hereunder.

     4.5 No Power in Grantor to Receive Trust Assets. Except as provided in Article III
hereof, the Grantor shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to the Grantor or to
divert to others any of the trust assets before all payment of benefits have been made to the
Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the trust.

     4.6 Discretionary Distributions From Trusts. The Trustee’s authority to make
discretionary distributions under Section 2.4 may be exercised in the discretion of the Trustee, at
any time and from time to time, but the existence of such authority shall not require the Trustee
to make any distribution to any person; such authority shall permit the Trustee to terminate such
trust by such distributions.

     4.7 Best Interests. In making a discretionary distribution pursuant to Section 2.4,
the “best interests” of a person shall be liberally construed by the Trustee and shall contemplate
distributions for the person’s comfort and convenience. In making any such discretionary
distribution the Trustee shall consider both the general financial resources and requirements of
said person and the ability of said person to deal with and manage the money or property involved
and shall exercise the discretionary powers herein conferred solely to benefit said person. This
Section 4.7 shall in no way be construed to alter, limit or enlarge the discretions and powers
conferred upon the Trustee by any other provision hereof nor to require the Trustee to make any
distribution to any person.

ARTICLE V

Trustees

     5.1 Appointment of Successor Trustee. If the then acting Trustee shall for any reason
cease, fail or refuse to act as Trustee, the following, one at a time and in the order named, shall
be successor Trustees:

	 	(a)	 	Trustee #1
	 
	 	(b)	 	Trustee #2

If none of said persons shall be able and willing to act as Trustee, then
the Grantor shall have the power to designate successor Trustees, with the written consent of a
majority of the persons then entitled to receive the Payments, by an instrument in writing
delivered to the first such successor; but if the Grantor shall fail to designate a successor
Trustee within ten (10) days of a vacancy in the trusteeship,
then a majority of the persons then
entitled to receive the Payments shall have the power to designate successor Trustees by an
instrument in writing delivered to the first such successor.

     5.2 Resignation of Trustee and Rights of Successor. Any Trustee acting hereunder may
resign as Trustee at any time by giving at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice, specifying
the effective date of resignation, to (i) the next successor Trustee, if known, (ii) the Employee
and (iii) the Grantor. Although notice of such resignation shall in all events be in writing, the
requirement of at least twenty (20) days’ notice may be waived by the aforesaid persons to whom
notice of the particular resignation shall be required hereunder to be given. Except as otherwise
provided, each successor Trustee at any time acting hereunder shall have all of the rights, powers,
immunities, discretions, duties, and responsibilities conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
succeeded. A successor Trustee may accept the

-9-

 

accounts rendered and the assets and property delivered by a predecessor Trustee without incurring
any liability or responsibility therefor.

     5.3 Approval of Accounts. The Employee, or his executor, administrator, guardian, or
the Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, as the case may be, may approve the final account of
the Trustee and give a full release and discharge to such Trustee. Any such approval, release and
discharge shall be binding upon the Employee, his executor, administrator, guardian and the
Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, and shall constitute a complete bar to any action by the
Employee or any other person to question any transaction for the period covered by the accounts so
approved and a valid and effective release with respect to such transaction with all the force and
effect of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction judicially settling such accounts and
discharging such Trustee from any and all liability with respect to such transaction.

     5.4 Evidence of Exercise of Certain Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the exercise of any right granted to the Employee, a beneficiary, a fiduciary or any
other person hereunder shall be evidenced in a written instrument signed by such person and
deposited with the records of the trust.

     5.5 Trustees Fees. The Grantor shall pay all administrative and Trustee’s fees and
other expenses of preparing and administering the trust. Upon execution of the trust, the Grantor
shall contribute Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to the trust as the initial Trustee fee. Beginning
on January 1, 2002, the Grantor shall make a contribution of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to
the trust to be used to pay the Trustee’s annual fee and expenses. The Grantor shall continue to
make such contributions on January 1st of each year thereafter until the Trustee has made all
Payments to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.2 of
Article II hereof.

retention, any property including, but not limited to, residential property, received upon creation of a trust or any property that may from time to time be
added to a trust, or any property in which the trust funds may from time to time be invested, for such time as to the Trustee shall seem best, even though such property

interests in partnerships, limited partnerships, joint stock companies, and
associations and, in annuities or in insurance upon the life of any person, without
regard to the proportion that any such investment or investments of a similar

are in new issues or in new or foreign enterprises, and without being limited to the
classes of investments in which trustees are or may be authorized by statute or rules
or decisions of court to invest trust funds; intending hereby to authorize the
Trustee to act in such manner as he shall believe to be in the best interests of such
trust and its beneficiaries;

     (D) To vote in person or by proxy any corporate stock belonging to a trust; to

-11-

 

accept
and hold as a portion of a trust the securities resulting from any such reorganization,

otherwise deal with, claims in favor of or against a trust as to the Trustee shall seem best; to
reduce the interest rate of any bond, note debenture, or mortgage as the Trustee shall deem to be
in the best interests of a trust and its beneficiaries;

     (F) To employ and compensate agents, brokers, attorneys, accountants, and assistants deemed by
the Trustee to be necessary or desirable for the administration of a trust;

     (G) To open and maintain accounts with any banks wheresoever situated, and to maintain deposit

the funds belonging to a trust that may at any time and from time to time be in the possession of
the Trustee; to withdraw a portion or all of said funds so deposited by checks and withdrawal
orders signed by the Trustee; and any such bank or association is hereby authorized to pay such
checks and orders, and also receive the same for deposit to the credit of any holder thereof when
so signed or endorsed, without inquiry of any kind. If more than one Trustee shall at any time be
acting hereunder, the Trustees shall have the power to delegate to any one or more of them the
power and right to conduct such banking and make such deposits, withdrawals and endorsements, upon
giving written notice of such delegation to the bank or association in question; and such bank or
association shall be fully protected in relying upon such a delegation. Payments when made as
aforesaid by such bank or association shall not be subject to criticism or objection by any person
concerned or interested in any way in a trust. The foregoing provisions are intended to limit the
liability of the bank or association, but are not to be construed as granting to the Trustee powers
not otherwise expressly granted herein;

     (H) To pay all costs, taxes, expenses, and charges in connection with the administration
of a trust. If any Trustee shall be compelled at any time during or after the existence of a trust

principal or income of the trust shall have been made to the extent of such
distribution;

     (I) To charge and credit receipts and disbursements to and against income
and principal in accordance with the laws from time to time in effect in the

any contributions or additions made by anyone to said trust;

executors or administrators of other trusts or estates in which any beneficiary of
a trust has any interest, even though any such trustee or representative is also
Trustee under this instrument; and in any such transaction to purchase property, or
make loans on notes secured by property, even though similar or identical property
constitutes all or a large proportion of the balance of a trust and to retain any
such property or note with the same freedom as if it had been an original part of a
trust;

     (M) To request from any person a full and complete release from, and
indemnification for, any and all liabilities whatever attributable to any acts by
the Trustee or any decisions by the Trustee to act or to refrain from acting in any
manner whatsoever in his capacity as Trustee, including but not limited to, acts or
decisions with respect to the investment of the assets of the trust estate,
retention of any or all trust assets, and the sale or disposition of any or all
trust assets; to settle the account of a deceased, incapacitated or resigned
Trustee, and receive approval therefor from the Employee or the Employee’s
beneficiary or beneficiaries, as the case may be; any approval, release or discharge
given under this subsection shall be conclusively binding, to the extent allowable

at any time forming a part of a trust as he would have the right to do and in the
same manner as if he were the sole owner thereof; and

provided,
however that the Trustee shall take no action and shall make no investment that would impair the Trust’s ability to make the Payments.

adjustments between principal and income or with respect to any Payment shall be made.

remaining in the trust shall be returned to the Grantor.

     6.6 Trustee Liability. No Trustee of the trust shall be liable for any loss,

omissions in good faith in the administration of such trust (including acts or omissions in
reliance on opinion of counsel) and for any of the Trustee’s decisions related to Section 2.4 of
Article II hereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein the Trustee may rely upon any

acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board or by shareholders holding not

written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.

          (ii) Special meetings shall be held on such date and at such time and place as may be fixed by
the Board. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, written notice
of the date, time, place and purpose or purposes of every special meeting of shareholders shall be

          (iii) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting and in
accordance with Section 1.11 of these Bylaws. If the Corporation’s notice of the special meeting

discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or (iii) by any shareholder of record of
the Corporation who satisfies the requirements of Section 1.11(a) of these Bylaws.

     (b) Shareholder Requested Special Meetings.

          (i) Any written demand by shareholders of the Corporation for a special meeting of
shareholders shall be signed and dated by each shareholder (or his or her duly authorized agent)
who is requesting the special meeting and shall set forth a statement of the specific purpose or
purposes of the meeting. The shareholders requesting a special meeting may revoke their demand at
any time by written revocation, signed and dated by each shareholder (or his or her duly authorized
agent) delivered to the Secretary.

          (ii) A special meeting requested by shareholders shall not be held if either (A) the Board has
called or calls for an annual meeting of shareholders and the purpose of such annual meeting
includes (among any other matters properly brought before the meeting) the purpose specified in the

     Section 1.04 Record Date for Meetings and Other Purposes. The Board of Directors
may fix a time, not more than 70 days prior to the date of any meeting of the shareholders, or the
date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the allotment of rights
or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of shares will be made or go into effect, as
the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at,
such meeting, or to receive any such allotment of rights or to exercise the rights in respect to
any such change or conversion or exchange of shares. In such case, only such shareholders as shall
be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such
meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights or to
exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books
of the Corporation after any record date fixed as aforesaid. A determination of shareholders of
record shall be effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a
new record ate, which it must do if a meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the
date fixed for the original meeting of shareholders.

     Section 1.05 Quorum for Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law or in the
Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the shares entitled to be cast on a matter, whether in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting for the transaction of such business.
Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes
for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date
is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. The subsequent withdrawal of enough shareholders to
leave less than a quorum after a quorum has been established at a meeting shall not affect the
validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a
quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by the approval of a majority of the voting
power of the outstanding shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting, even if less than a
quorum.

     Whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on a
specified item of business, the provisions of this Section shall apply in determining the presence
of a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such specified item of business.

     Section 1.06 Presiding Officer and Secretary.

     (b) The chairman of the meeting of shareholders shall determine the order of the business and
the procedure at such meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of
discussion as the chairman of the meeting determines, in his or her sole discretion, to be in
order. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place,
date and time. The time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the
shareholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

     Section 1.07 Judge of Election. The Board may, in advance of any shareholders’
meeting, appoint one or three Judges of Election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Each Judge of Election, before conducting his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath of office
to execute faithfully the duties of Judge of Election with strict impartiality and to the best of
his or her ability. If a Judge of Election is not so appointed, the person presiding at the
shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Section 1.06 of this Article I may, and on the request of any
shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, make such appointment. In case any person appointed as
a Judge of Election fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the
Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding at the meeting. No
person shall be elected a director at a meeting at which he has served as a Judge of Election.

     The Judge of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of
each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and
effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising
in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, determine the result, and do
such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. If
there are three Judges of Election the act of a majority thereof shall govern. On request of the
person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the Judge of Election
shall make a report in writing of the determination as to any challenge, question or matter. Any
such report shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated, and shall be filed with the
minutes of the meeting.

     Section 1.08 Voting. Whenever directors are to be elected by the shareholders, they
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting of
shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote for such directors.

     Whenever any action other than the election of directors is proposed to be taken by vote of
the shareholders, except as otherwise expressly required by law, in the Articles of Incorporation
or in these Bylaws, it shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at
the meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

     Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, each shareholder of the
Corporation entitled to vote on any matter at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one
vote for every such share standing in such shareholder’s name on the record date for the meeting.

     At any election of directors, the election shall be by ballot and shall be authorized by a
plurality of votes cast, and the Judge or Judges of Election or, if none, the secretary of the
meeting, shall tabulate the ballots and certify the results of such vote.

     Section 1.09 Voting by Proxy. At any meeting of shareholders, every shareholder
entitled to vote may vote his or her shares in person or by proxy authorized by an appointment form
or by an electronic transmission permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”) filed
in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Any copy, facsimile
telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to
this Section 1.09 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for
any and for all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided
that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction
of the entire original writing or transmission. Every proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of
the Corporation or his or her delegate. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder
unless the appointment form or electronic transmission conspicuously states that it is irrevocable
and the appointment is coupled with an interest, notwithstanding any other agreement or any
provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until
written notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy shall not be
revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker, unless written notice of the death or incapacity
is received by the Secretary of the Corporation before the proxy exercises his or her authority
under the appointment. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months after its date, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy.

     Section 1.10 Shareholders List. The officer or agent having charge of the stock
transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least 10 days before each meeting of
the shareholder, a complete alphabetical list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting,

principal office or at the place specified in the notice of the meeting and shall be subject to
inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during the usual business
hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Such list shall be produced and kept
at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any
shareholder who is present. The shareholder list shall be prima facie evidence of the identity of
the shareholders entitled to examine the shareholders list or vote at a meeting of shareholders.

     Section 1.11 Shareholder Proposals

     (a) Relating to Nominations for and Election of Directors:

          (1) A shareholder may nominate one or more candidates for election as a director at any
meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected. Nominations of persons for election
to the Board may be made by any shareholder of the Corporation who (A) is a shareholder of record
at the time of giving the notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual or
special meeting, as the case may be, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) complies with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(a). Section 1.11(a) shall be the exclusive
means for a shareholder to make nominations before a meeting of shareholders.

          (2) A nomination by a shareholder shall be preceded by a notice in writing, delivered in
person or by first class United States mail postage prepaid or by reputable overnight delivery
service, to the Board to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal office
of the Corporation, within the time limits specified in this Section 1.11(a). In no event shall
any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or a special meeting or the announcement
thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described in
Sections 1.11(a)(3) and (4).

          (3) In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, any such written nomination must be
received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120
calendar days before the first anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its
proxy statement to shareholders for the annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding
year; provided, however, that in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders that is called for a
date that is not within 30 calendar days before or after the first anniversary date of the Annual
Meeting in the immediately preceding year, any such written proposal of nomination must be received
by the Board within 5 business days after the earlier of the date the Corporation shall have mailed
notice to its shareholders, issued a press release, filed a periodic report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or otherwise publicly disseminated notice that an annual meeting of
shareholders will be held.

          (4) Such written nomination shall set forth: (A) the name and address of the shareholder who
intends to make the nomination and, if any, the beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is
made (collectively, the “Nominating Shareholder”), (B) as to the Nominating Shareholder, (i) the
number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially by it within the
meaning of SEC Rule 13d-3, (ii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship
pursuant to which such Nominating Shareholder has a right to vote any shares of any security of the
Corporation, and (iii) any performance-related fees that such Nominating Shareholder is entitled to
based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, as of the date of such
notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of the Nominating
Shareholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented
by the Nominating Shareholder not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to
disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (iv) any other information relating to the
Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings
required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a
contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of

5

 

1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;
and (C) as to each proposed nominee, (i) all information relating to such person that would be
required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection
with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section
14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such
person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected), (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material
monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years and any other
material relationships between or among such Nominating Shareholder and its affiliates and
associates or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and
his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the
other hand, including without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed
pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, as if the Nominating
Shareholder or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the
“registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such
registrant; and (iii) a completed and signed questionnaire (which will be provided by the Secretary
upon written request) with respect to the background and qualifications of such proposed nominee.
The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may
reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to
serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable
shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

          (5) If a written nomination submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation fails, in the
reasonable judgment of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board,
to contain the information specified in subsection (4) above or is otherwise deficient, the
Secretary shall, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, provide written notice to
the Nominating Shareholder of such failure or deficiency in the written nomination and such
Nominating Shareholder shall have 5 business days from receipt of such notice to submit a revised
written proposal of nomination that corrects such failure or deficiency in all material respects.

          (6) Nominations by a shareholder of candidates for election to the Board by shareholders may
be made only if the shareholder complies with the procedures of this Section 1.11(a), and any
candidate proposed by a shareholder not nominated in accordance with such provisions shall not be
considered or acted upon for election as a director at such meeting of shareholders.

     (b) Relating to Matters Other Than Nominations for and Elections of Directors:

          (1) A shareholder of the Corporation may only bring a matter (other than a nomination of a
candidate for election as a director, which is covered by subsection (a) of this Section 1.11) (a
“Shareholder Matter”) before an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation who
(i) is a shareholder of record both at the time of giving notice provided for in these Bylaws and
at the time of the annual or special meeting, as applicable, (ii) is entitled to vote at the
meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(b). This
Section 1.11(b) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to bring a Shareholder Matter
before an annual or special meeting of shareholders other than Shareholder Matters properly brought
under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

6

 

          (2) A shareholder shall only present a Shareholder Matter by providing written notice
thereof in accordance with the same requirements in Sections 1.11(a)(2) and (3).

          (3) Such notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter shall set forth, with respect to
the shareholder who intends to propose the Shareholder Matter (the “Proposing Shareholder”), the
same information required of the Nominating Shareholder in Sections 1.11(a)(4)(A) and (B). In
addition, such notice shall set forth (A) reasonably detailed description of the Shareholder
Matter, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of the
Proposing Shareholder, if any, in such Shareholder Matter, and (B) a description of all agreements,
arrangements and understandings entered into between such Proposing Shareholder and any other
person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of the Shareholder Matter
by such Proposing Shareholder.

          (4) If a written notice of presentation of a matter submitted to the Board fails, in the
reasonable judgment of the Board, to contain the information specified in subsection (3) above
hereof or is otherwise deficient, the Secretary of the Corporation shall, as promptly as is
practicable under the circumstances, provide written notice to the shareholder who submitted the
written notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter of such failure or deficiency in the written
notice of presentation of a matter and such shareholder shall have 5 business days from receipt of
such notice to submit a revised written notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter that
corrects such failure or deficiency in all material respects.

          (5) Only Shareholder Matters submitted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 1.11(b) shall be eligible for presentation at such meeting of shareholders, and any
Shareholder Matter not submitted to the Board in accordance with such provisions shall not be
considered or acted upon at such meeting of shareholders.

     (c) Compliance with Federal Securities Law Requirements;

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1.11(a) and (b), a Nominating Shareholder or
Proposing Shareholder, as the case may be, also shall comply with all applicable requirements of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in
this Section 1.11; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or
the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to, and shall not, limit the requirements
applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to
Sections 1.11(a) or (b). Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights (1) of
shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (2) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the
Corporation if and to the extent provided for under law, the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation or these Bylaws.

appoint any person, firm or corporation to accept and hold in trust for the Corporation, any
property belonging to the Corporation or in which it is interested, and to authorize any such
person, firm or corporation to execute any documents and perform any duties that may be requisite
in relation to any trust.

     Section 2.03 Classification of Directors. The Board shall be divided into three
classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be
possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board.

     At each annual meeting of the shareholders, successors to the class of directors whose term
expires at the annual meeting shall be elected for a 3-year term so that the term of office of one
class of directors shall expire each year.

     Section 2.04 Nomination of Directors. Prior to each annual meeting, and subject to
the power accorded to it under Section 2.01 of this Article, the Board shall nominate candidates to

sole remaining director. If one or more directors shall resign from the Board effective at a
future date, a majority of directors then in office, including the director or those directors who
have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, to take effect when such
resignation or resignations shall become effective. Each person so elected shall be a director
until he or she is elected or his or her successor is elected by the shareholder at the Annual
Meeting.

     If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the
classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and
any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such
class shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, but in no case will a
decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

of such special meeting shall be given to each member of such committee in the manner specified in
Section 2.09 of this Article II. Notice of the meeting need not be given to any member who signs a

waiver of notice of such meeting.

other similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting
may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting; provided, however, such participation is in

Bylaws.

     Section 2.19. Compensation of Directors. The Board, or its delegate, the
Compensation Committee of the Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors in office

ARTICLE IV

Shares of the Corporation

     Section 4.01 Certificated or Uncertificated Shares

     (a) Shares of any or all of the Corporation’s classes’ or series of capital stock may be
evidenced by certificates for shares of stock, in such form as the Board of Directors may from time
to time prescribe, or may be issued in uncertificated form. The issuance of shares in
uncertificated form shall not affect shares already represented by a certificate until the
certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Except as expressly provided by law, there shall be
no differences in the rights and obligations of shareholders based on whether or not their shares
are represented by certificates.

     (b) Each certificate for shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be numbered and
registered in a share register as it is issued, shall bear the name of the Corporation and that the
Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Florida, the name of the person to whom the
certificate is issued and the number and class of shares represented thereby and the designation of
the series, if any, the certificate represents, shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer or President or any Vice President of the Corporation and shall be countersigned by the
Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer of the Corporation or any other person
authorized by the Board of Directors and shall bear the seal of the Corporation, which seal may be
a facsimile, engraved or printed. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents
and one or more registrars with respect to the certificates representing shares of stock of the
Corporation, and may require all such certificates to bear the signature of either or both. Where
the certificate is

14

 

signed by a transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any corporate officer on such
certificate may be a facsimile engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed, or whose
facsimile signature has been placed on, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer
because of death, resignation or otherwise before the certificate is issued, the certificate may
nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the officer has not ceased to
be such at the date of its issue.

     (c) Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the
Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information
required to be set forth or stated on stock certificates pursuant to the FBCA.

     Section 4.02 Transfers. Transfers of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
shall be made only on the stock record of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by his
attorney thereunder authorized by the power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary
of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof, and (i) in the case of certificated shares, only
on surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares, properly endorsed or
accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power, or (ii) in the case of uncertificated shares,
upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated
shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer the shares. The Board of Directors may make such
additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue and transfer of
certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

     Section 4.03 Lost Certificates. Should any shareholder of the Corporation allege
the loss, theft or destruction of one or more certificates for shares of the Corporation and
request the issuance by the Corporation of a substitute certificate or uncertificated shares
therefore, the Board of Directors may direct that a new certificate of the same tenor and for the
same number of shares or uncertificated shares be issued to such person upon such person’s making
of an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board of Directors setting forth the facts in
connection therewith, provided that, prior to the receipt of such request, the Corporation shall
not have either registered a transfer of such certificate or received notice that such certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or
uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition, precedent
to the issuance of such certificate or uncertificated shares, require the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be, to
advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the
Corporation a bond in such form and for such sum and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or
open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as indemnity for any liability or
expense that it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

ARTICLE V

Notices; Computing Time Periods

     Section 5.01 Method and Contents of Notice. Whenever, under the provisions of
the FBCA, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws, written notice is
required to be given to any shareholder, it may be communicated in person or by sending a copy
thereof through the mail, postage prepaid or by electronic mail, to his or her address appearing on
the books of the

15

 

Corporation or supplied by him or her to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If the
notice is sent by mail to a shareholder, it shall be effective upon deposit into the United States
mail, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the
Corporation’s current record of shareholders. Such notice shall specify the date, time and place
of the meeting, if any, and, in the case of a special meeting of the shareholders, a description
of business to be transacted.

     Section 5.02 Exception to Requirement for Notice. Notices or other communications
shall not be sent, unless otherwise directed by the Board, to any shareholder with whom the
Corporation has been unable to communicate for more than 24 consecutive months because
communications to the shareholder are returned unclaimed or the shareholder has otherwise failed to
provide the Corporation with a current address. Whenever the shareholder provides the Corporation
with a current address, the Corporation shall commence sending notices and other communications to
the shareholder in the same manner as to other shareholders.

     Section 5.03 Waiver of Notice.

     (a) Meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors
or any committee thereof need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either
before or after the meeting. Attendance of any director, whether in person or by proxy, at any
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and a waiver of any and all objections
to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting or the manner in which it has been called or
convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival
at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting was not lawfully
called or convened.

     (b) Meeting of Shareholders. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the
FBCA, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the
notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice and be
delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. A
shareholder’s attendance at a meeting: (i) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice
of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the
meeting or transacting business at the meeting and (ii) waives objection to consideration of a
particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purposes described in the meeting notice
unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

     Section 5.04 Computing Time Periods. In computing the number of days for purposes of
these Bylaws, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays or holidays; provided,
however that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, then the
final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. In
computing the number of days for the purpose of giving notice of any meeting, the date upon which
the notice is given shall be counted but the day set for the meeting shall not be counted.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

and other orders or obligations to pay money, agreements, contracts, instruments, indentures,
mortgages, deeds, conveyances, transfers, certificates, declarations, receipts, discharges,
releases, satisfactions, settlements, petitions, schedules, accounts, affidavits, stocks, bonds,
undertakings, proxies and other instruments or documents, all as may be incidental or related to
the operation of the Corporation and subject to such limitations or restrictions of the scope of
authority as the Board, the President or the Chief Executive Officer may impose. Any such
agreement, instrument or document may also be executed, acknowledged and delivered in the name and
on behalf of the Corporation, under seal of the Corporation or otherwise, by such other officers,
employees or agents of the Corporation as the Board, the President or Chief Executive Officer, or
their delegate may from time to time authorize. In each such case, the authority so conferred
shall be subject to such limitations as the Board, the President or the Chief Executive Officer of
the delegate may impose. Any officer, employee or agent authorized hereunder to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any such agreement, instrument or document is also authorized to cause the
Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or any other authorized person to affix the seal of the
Corporation thereto and to attest it. The provisions of this Section are supplementary to any
other provision of these Bylaws.

     Any account, deposit, brokerage, loan or otherwise, may be opened at the direction of any
Executive Officer or above. Any institution or entity opening any such account may rely on this
authority in good faith and open such account without any further action on the part of the
Corporation. This authorization in no way limits or impairs the ability of any other authorized
officer to open accounts of the Corporation.

     Section 6.03 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the calendar
year.

     Section 6.04 Offices. The registered office of the Corporation in Florida shall be

of the Corporation shall be in Hermitage, Pennsylvania or such other location as the Board may from
time to time designate. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places as the Board
may from time to time determine or as the business of the Corporation may require.

     Section 6.05 Subsidiaries’ Proxy. The Chief Executive Officer or any officer
delegated in writing has the express authority to act as the Corporation’s proxy in voting the
shares of the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiaries for purposes of electing the boards of
directors of such subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VII

Indemnification

     Section 7.01 Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify any director or
officer of the Corporation and any director or officer of its subsidiaries against expenses,
including legal fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her to

17

 

the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding, whether derivative or nonderivative, and
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, brought or threatened to be brought
against him or her by reason or his or her performance or status as a director or officer of the
Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or any other entity in which he or she was serving at the
request of the Corporation or in any other capacity on behalf of the Corporation, its parent or any
of its subsidiaries if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such officer or director shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the Corporation unless and only to the extent the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the court shall deem proper.

     The Board of Directors by resolution adopted in each specific instance may similarly indemnify
any person other than a director or officer of the Corporation for liabilities incurred by him in
connection with services rendered by him or her for or at the request of the Corporation or any of
its subsidiaries.

     The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall be applicable to all actions, suits, investigations
or proceedings commenced after its adoption, whether such arise out of acts or omissions which
occurred prior or subsequent to such adoption and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a director or officer or to render services for or at the request of the Corporation, whether or
not the action, suit, investigation or proceeding first arose after such person ceased to be a
director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
such a person. The rights of indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed the exclusive
rights to which any such director, officer or other person may be entitled.

     Section 7.02 Authorization and Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification
under this Article VII unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer
or other person is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
conduct as specified in Section 7.01. A person shall be deemed to have met such applicable
standard of conduct if his or her action is based in good faith on the records or books of account
of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers
of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of his or her duties, or on the advice of
legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or
reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant
or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another
enterprise.

     Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) if such a
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated
by

18

 

the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, (iii) by independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors
prescribed in paragraph (i) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (ii) hereof or, if a quorum of
the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph (i) and the committee cannot be designated under
paragraph (ii), selected by majority vote of the full board of directors in which directors who are
parties may participate or (iv) by the shareholders. To the extent, however, that a director,
officer or other person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she
shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

     The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way
the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met such applicable standard or conduct.

     Section 7.03 Advances. Expenses incurred in defending or investigating a threatened
or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director, officer or other person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article
VII.

     Section 7.04 Scope and Alteration of Indemnification Provisions. The indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article
VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, indemnity or other agreement, contract,
vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction, howsoever
embodied, of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the
Corporation that indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, the persons specified in
Section 7.01 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by the FBCA.

     To this end, the provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed to have been amended for the
benefit of such persons effective immediately upon any modification of the FBCA that expands or
enlarges the power or obligation or corporations organized under such law to indemnify, or advance
expenses to, such persons. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any person who is not specified in this Section
7.04 or Section 7.01 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify, or to
advance expenses for, under the provisions of the FBCA.

     Section 7.05 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify
him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

19

 

     Section 7.06 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to the
“Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation,
including any constitution of a constituent, absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence has continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article
VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to
such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

     The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article VII shall mean any other corporation or
any partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity of which such person is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent and shall include employee
benefit plans.

     Section 7.07 Nature of Rights to Indemnification. The rights of indemnification and
advancement of expenses conferred upon directors and officers of the Corporation in this Article
VII shall be contract rights. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VII that
adversely affects any right of a person indemnified under this Article VII shall be prospective
only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any
occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such
amendment. 

ARTICLE VIII

     Section 8.01 Amendment; Repeal. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed

shareholders of that purpose or by the affirmative vote of 75% of the members of the Board of
Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors duly convened after notice to
the Board of Directors of that purpose unless the shareholders, in amending or repealing the Bylaws
generally or a particular Bylaw provision, provide expressly that the Board of Directors may not
amend or repeal the Bylaws or such Bylaw provision.

ARTICLE IX

Emergency Bylaws

     Section 9.01 Emergency Bylaws. This Article IX shall be operative during any
emergency resulting from an attack on the United States or on a locality in which the Corporation
conducts its business or customarily holds meetings of its Board or its shareholders, or during any
nuclear or atomic disaster or other event which creates a state of disaster of sufficient severity
to prevent the normal conduct and management of the affairs and business of the Corporation (an
“emergency”), notwithstanding any different or conflicting provisions in these Bylaws or in the
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation. To the extent not inconsistent with this Article IX,
the preceding Articles of these Bylaws shall remain in effect during such emergency, and upon
termination of such

20

 

emergency, the provisions of this Article IX shall cease to be operative unless and until
another such emergency shall occur.
