Article I - Shareholders
1.Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held for the election of directors each year at such place, date and time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. If no date for the annual meeting is established or said meeting is not held on the date established as provided above, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held or there may be action by written consent of the stockholders on matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, and such special meeting shall have for the purposes of these By-laws or otherwise all the force and effect of an annual meeting.
2.Special Meetings. Special meetings of shareholders may be called by the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, or, if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by the Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. The call for the meeting shall state the place, date, hour and purposes of the meeting. Only the purposes specified in the notice of special meeting shall be considered or dealt with at such special meeting.
3.Notice of Meetings. Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be given by the Secretary (or other person authorized by these By-laws or by law) not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat and to each shareholder who, under the Articles of Incorporation or under these By-laws is entitled to such notice. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the mail, first-class postage prepaid, directed to such shareholder at such shareholder’s address as it appears in the records of the Corporation.
If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting only such business is transacted as might have been transacted at the original meeting, except that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice under Fla. Stat. § 607.0705.
4.Quorum. The holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes in the applicable class of stock at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for such class of stock. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present. The shareholders present at a duly constituted meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to reduce the voting shares below a quorum.
5.Voting and Proxies. Each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to the voting rights for each share of stock held by such shareholder as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation or as required by law. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by either written proxy or by a transmission permitted by Fla. Stat. § 607.0722, but no proxy shall be valid for more than 11 months, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. Proxies shall be filed with the Secretary of the meeting, or of any adjournment thereof. Except as otherwise limited therein, proxies shall entitle the persons authorized thereby to vote at any adjournment of such meeting.
6.Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present, any matter before the meeting shall be decided by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock in the applicable class voting on such matter except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws. Any election of directors by shareholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws. The Corporation shall not directly or indirectly vote any share of its own stock; provided, however, that the Corporation may vote shares which it holds in a fiduciary capacity to the extent permitted by law.
7.Presiding Officer. Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, or if neither is elected or in their absence, the President. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to appoint a temporary presiding officer to serve at any meeting of the shareholders if the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board or the President is unable to do so for any reason.
8.Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of shareholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the presiding officer of any meeting of shareholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding officer of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to
2
shareholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the presiding officer of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. The list must be arranged by voting group (and within each voting group by class or series of shares). Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder at the time and place of the meeting in the manner provided by law. The list shall also be open to the examination of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by law.
Article II - Directors
1.Powers. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Corporation except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled and during such time the Board of Directors shall be deemed to be duly constituted notwithstanding such vacancy.
2.Number and Qualification. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in these By-laws, the number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or the shareholders entitled to vote thereon.

If at any time fewer than the number of Directors designated by the shareholders or Directors have been elected, the Board of Directors shall nonetheless be deemed duly constituted.
3.Vacancies; Reduction of Board. Except as provided herein or in the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining Director, may fill vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies arising from newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors. However, if the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group or the remaining directors elected by that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy. In lieu of filling any vacancy, the Board
3
of Directors may reduce the number of directors. If at any time fewer than the number of Directors designated by the shareholders or Directors have been elected, the Board of Directors shall nonetheless be deemed duly constituted.
4.Tenure. Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws, directors shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.
5.Removal. To the extent permitted by law, a director may be removed from office with or without cause by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.
6.Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time, date and place as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called, orally or in writing, by the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, or, if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by two or more Directors, designating the time, date and place thereof. Directors may participate in meetings of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all directors participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting in accordance herewith shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
7.Notice of Meetings. Notice of the time, date and place of all special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director by the Secretary, or Assistant Secretary, or in case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of such persons, by the officer or one of the directors calling the meeting. Notice shall be given to each director in person, by telephone, or by facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic communications, sent to such director’s business or home address at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the meeting, or by written notice mailed to such director’s business or home address at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting.
8.Quorum. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting from time to time and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.
9.Action at Meeting. At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, a majority of the directors present may take any action on behalf of the Board of Directors, unless a larger number is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws.
4
10.Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the records of the meetings of the Board of Directors. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.
11.Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, establish one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more directors. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
Any such committee, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following: (i) approving or proposing to shareholders action that requires shareholder approval; (ii) filling vacancies on the board of directors or on any of its committees; (iii) adopting, amending or repealing any provision of these By-laws; (iv) approving a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval, (v) electing or appointing any director, or removing any officer or director; or (vii) amending or repealing any resolution adopted by the board which by its terms is amendable or repealable only by the board.
Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any such committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but in the absence of such rules its business shall be conducted so far as possible in the same manner as is provided in these By-laws for the Board of Directors. All members of such committees shall hold their committee offices at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, and the Board may abolish any committee at any time.

Such signatures may be a facsimile. If the certificate is signed in facsimile, then it must be countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation.

It shall be the duty of each shareholder to notify the Corporation of such shareholder’s post office address.
4.Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date on which it is established, and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, more than ten (10) days after the date on which the record date for shareholder consent without a meeting is established, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

If no record date is fixed, (a) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held, (b) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, 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 by delivery to its registered office in this state, to its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded, and (c) the record date for determining shareholders for any other
8
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Subject to the operation of Section 4 of this Article V of these By-laws, each Director shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Florida Business Corporation Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against any and all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by such Director or on such Director’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Director is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Director’s Corporate Status, if such Director acted in good faith and in a manner such Director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 2 shall continue as to a Director after he or she has ceased to be a Director and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any Director seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, unless such Proceeding was brought to enforce a Director’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these By-laws in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
3.Indemnification of Non-Director Employees. Subject to the operation of Section 4 of this Article V of these By-laws, each Non-Director Employee may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent
10
authorized by the Florida Business Corporation Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against any or all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by such Non-Director Employee or on such Non-Director Employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Director Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Director Employee’s Corporate Status, if such Non-Director Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Director Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 3 shall exist as to a Non-Director Employee after he or she has ceased to be a Non-Director Employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Director Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Non-Director Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
4.Good Faith. Unless ordered by a court, no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Article V to a Director or to a Non-Director Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made by (a) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the shareholders of the Corporation.
5.Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition.
(a) The Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is involved by reason of such Director’s Corporate Status within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement from such Director reaffirming his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct described in Fla. Stat.§ 607.0850 or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the Articles of Incorporation and requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
(b) If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not paid in full by the Corporation within 10 days after receipt by the Corporation of
11
documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or shareholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Article V shall not be a defense to the action and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.
(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act.
6.Advancement of Expenses to Non-Director Employees Prior to Final Disposition.
(a) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Non-Director Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such is involved by reason of the Corporate Status of such Non-Director Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Non-Director Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Non-Director Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Non-Director Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
(b) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Non-Director Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act.
7.Contractual Nature of Rights.
(a) The foregoing provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article V is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any Proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
12
3.Execution of Instruments. All deeds, leases, transfers, contracts, bonds, notes and other obligations to be entered into by the Corporation in the ordinary course of its business without director action may be executed on behalf of the Corporation by the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, the President, any Vice President or the Treasurer, or by any other officer, employee or agent of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may authorize.
4.Voting of Securities. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, the President, any Vice President or the Treasurer may waive notice of and act on behalf of this Corporation, or appoint another person or persons to act as proxy or attorney in fact for this Corporation with or without discretionary power and/or power of substitution, at any meeting of shareholders or shareholders of any other corporation or organization, any of whose securities are held by this Corporation.
5.Resident Agent. The Board of Directors may appoint a resident agent upon whom legal process may be served in any action or proceeding against the Corporation.
6.Corporate Records. The original or attested copies of the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and records of all meetings of the incorporators, shareholders and the Board of Directors and the stock and transfer records, which shall contain the names of all shareholders, their record addresses and the amount of stock held by each, shall be kept at the principal office of the Corporation, at the office of its counsel, or at an office of its transfer agent.
7.Articles of Incorporation. All references in these By-laws to the Articles of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time.
8.Amendments. These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new By-laws may be adopted, by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors; provided, that (a) the Board of Directors may not alter, amend or repeal any provision of these By-laws which by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws requires action by the shareholders and (b) any alteration, amendment or repeal of these By-laws by the Board of Directors and any new By-law adopted by the Board of Directors may be altered, amended or repealed by the shareholders.
9.Waiver of Notice.
