otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the Corporation's principal
place of business.

place, day and hour of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered, unless
otherwise provided by statute, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60)
days before the date of the meeting or as otherwise provided by statute, either
personally, or by an acceptable form of electronic communication or by mail, by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors or persons calling the meeting or

at such meeting. The business transacted at a special meeting must include the
description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Such
notice is deemed delivered pursuant to the applicable section of the Florida
1989 Business Corporation Act (the "Act").
Section 5. Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or in order
to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board
of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy
(70) days immediately preceding such meeting; provided, however, that in no
event shall any record date precede the date upon which the resolution fixing
such record date is adopted. When a determination of shareholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section,
such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting,
but must fix a new record date for the meeting if the meeting is adjourned to a
date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the
original meeting.
Section 6. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the
transfer books for shares of stock of the Corporation shall make, at least ten
(10) days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the
address of each shareholder, the number and class and series, if any, of shares
registered in the name of each shareholder and the number of
-2-
votes each shareholder is entitled to cast. Such list shall be open to the
examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during
ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the
meeting, or such shorter time as exists between the record date and meeting
date, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which
place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified,
at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced
and kept at the place of the meeting during the entire duration thereof, and may
be inspected by any shareholder present at the meeting.
Section 7. Quorum and Manner of Acting. Unless otherwise provided by
the Articles of Incorporation, holders of a majority of the voting power of the
shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting thereof, present
in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of
the shareholders. In the event a quorum is not present or represented by proxy
at any meeting of the shareholders, a majority of the shareholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to
adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at
the meeting at which adjournment is taken, of the time and place of the
adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any
business which may have been transacted at the original meeting. 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, a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the
meeting.
Section 8. Vote Required. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares represented at
such meeting, whether present or by proxy, shall be the act of the shareholders,
unless the matter to be voted upon is one upon which, by express provision of
the Act or of the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in
which case such express provision shall determine the vote required to effect
such action.
Section 9. Voting Rights. Each shareholder shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of voting capital stock held by such shareholder, except as
otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation. Each shareholder entitled
to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or may authorize another person or
persons to act for him or her by proxy executed in writing by such shareholder
or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, but no such proxy shall be
voted or acted upon after eleven months from its date, unless the proxy provides
for a longer period.
Section 10. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting
-3-
of shareholders may be taken without a meeting thereof, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Within ten (10) days of the taking of any action without a meeting by
less than unanimous written consent, written notice stating the action taken
shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing to the
taking of the action. No written consent shall be effective to take the
corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the date

10, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take action is
delivered to the Corporation.

in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. Except as provided in Section

plurality of the shares represented at the meeting of shareholders at which the
Directors shall be elected. The number of Directors may be increased or
decreased from time to time as provided by these By-laws or the Articles of
Incorporation; provided, however, that the total number of Directors shall not
be less than three (3). A decrease in the number of Directors shall not decrease
the term of an incumbent Director. Each Director shall serve until his or her
successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death,
resignation or removal.
Section 3. Compensation. The compensation, if any, of the Directors of the
Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or, if created, the

may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a
majority of Directors. The person or persons who call a special meeting of the

principal place of business.

of the meeting, to each Director, by or at the direction of the person or
persons calling the meeting. Whenever notice is required to be given by law or
any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, a written
waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after
the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a
Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting
except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting
(which objection shall occur at the beginning of such meeting) to the
transaction of any business at such meeting because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of, any meeting of the Board of Directors or members of a committee of Directors
need be specified in the waiver of notice of such meeting unless otherwise
required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
Section 7. Quorum and Manner of Action. A majority of the number of
Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at any meeting of the Board of Directors; provided, that if less than a
majority of such number of Directors are present at said meeting, a majority of
the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further
notice. The act of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a
quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless otherwise
provided in the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws.
Section 8. Action Without a Meeting by Directors. Any action which is
required by law or by these By-laws to be taken at a meeting of the Board of
Directors, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Board of
Directors or any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed by all of the
Directors entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, or by all
members of such committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same
force and effect as a unanimous vote of all Directors or committee members, as
the case may be, at
-5-
a duly called meeting thereof, and shall be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee, as appropriate.
Section 9. Telephonic Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, members of the Board of Directors or
of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or such
committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear and speak to each other at all times. Participation in a
meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence at such meeting.
Section 10. Resignations. Any Director may resign at any time by giving
written notice of such resignation to the Board of Directors, or the Chairman of
the Board or the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein or, if no time be specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board
of Directors or one of the above named officers; and, unless specified therein,
the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Section 11. Newly-Created Directorships and Vacancies. Newly-created
directorships and vacancies resulting from any increase in the authorized number
of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office,
although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, and the
Director(s) so chosen shall hold office until their successor(s) are elected and
qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.
Section 12. Removal. Any Director or the entire Board of Directors may
be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Corporation then entitled to vote for election of
Directors. Whenever the holders of any class or series are entitled to elect one
or more Directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the
provisions of this Section shall apply in respect of the removal without cause
of a Director or Directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the
outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the vote or the
outstanding shares of the Corporation as a whole.
Section 13. Interested Directors.
(a) No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more
of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other
corporation, firm, association or other entity in which one or more of the
Corporation's Directors or officers are Directors or officers, or have a
financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely because of the existence
thereof, or solely because a Director or officer is present at or participates
in the meeting of the Board of Directors or any
-6-
committee thereof which authorizes such a contract or transaction, or solely
because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:
(i) the material facts as to such relationship or interest and
as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof, as the case may be, and the
Board of Directors or such committee, as appropriate, in good faith
authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested
Directors constitute less than a quorum; or
(ii) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and
as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the
shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction
is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or
(iii) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to
the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified,
by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders.
(b) Interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of
a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof which

By-laws, 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, if any, to be affixed to all
papers which may require it; provided, however, that no such committee shall

created and filled at any meeting of the Board of Directors. Each officer shall
be elected to hold office until his or her successor shall have been elected and

of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights.
