ARTICLE I OFFICES: PURPOSES: DISTINGUISHING FLAGS. ETC.

Section 1.01. Corporate Status: Location of Offices. The Great Salt Lake Yacht

Club (the “Club”) is a corporation which had been duly organized under the laws of the state of Utah. The Club may maintain such offices, within or without the State of Utah, as the Board of Directors/Trustees may from time to time designate.

Section 1.02. Principal Office. The address of the principal office of the Club

shall, for the time being, be located at the address of the registered agent of the Club, which address is c/o 4141 South Highland Drive, Suite 210, Salt Lake City, Utah 84124, and said address may be changed by the Board of Directors/Trustees at any time.

Section 1.03. Purposes. The purposes of the Club are to promote and develop the

recreational use of the Great Salt Lake; to preserve and protect the ecology of the Great Salt Lake; to promote the science and arts of sailing, boating, navigation, and seamanship; to organize activities relating to sailing, boating, navigation, and seamanship; to assist Club Members in becoming proficient in navigation, seamanship, and the sailing of boats and other watercraft; to organize social activities for the benefit of the Club’s Members/Shareholders; to preserve and perpetuate the unique history and folklore of the Great Salt Lake; and to develop physical facilities including, but not limited to, one (1) or more clubhouses, marinas, docking facilities, and other conveniences normally associated with sailing and boating.

Section 1.04. Distinguishing Flags, etc. The burgee of the Club shall be a white

flag with three (3) blue seagulls and a red border. The width of such burgee shall be two-thirds of its length. The burgee of the Club may be changed by the Board of Directors/Trustees at any time.

ARTICLE II MEMBERS/SHAREHOLDERS

Section 2.01. Terms Synonymous: Status As Shareholders. As used herein, the

terms “Member” and “Members” shall be deemed to be synonymous with the terms “Shareholder” and “Shareholders.” Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, all Members/Shareholders shall be shareholders of the Club.

Section 2.02. Qualifications of Members/Shareholders; Each

Member/Shareholder To Own Only One Share Of Stock. In order to become a Member of the Club, a person must meet all of the following qualifications: (i) be at least eighteen (18) years of age, (ii) pay the “Share Purchase Fee” (as such term is hereinafter defined) which is in effect at the time such person becomes a Member/Share holder of the Club, and (iii) be approved by the

Board of Directors/Trustees. No Member/Shareholder may, at any time, own more than one (1) share of the Club’s issued and outstanding shares of stock. In the event that, for any reason and whether as a consequence of a devise made in a testamentary instrument, a transfer effectuated by operation of law, or a transfer resulting from any other cause, a Member/Shareholder owns more than one (1) share of the Club’s issued and outstanding shares of stock, such additional share(s) of stock shall be redeemed by the Club paying, to such Member/Shareholder, the applicable “Agreed Upon Redemption Amount” (as such term is hereinafter defined).

Section 2.03. Membership Fees. The Board of Directors/Trustees shall establish,

from time to time, a Share Purchase Fee (the “Share Purchase Fee”) which each Member shall be required to pay prior to becoming a Member. The current amount of the Share Purchase Fee is $100.00.

Section 2.04. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Members shall be held during the month of November of each year, on such day and at such time as is provided for in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing Directors/Trustees and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of Directors/Trustees shall not be held on the day designated herein for the annual meeting of the Members, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors/Trustees shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the Members as soon thereafter as may be convenient.

Section 2.05. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Members may be called

at any time by the Commodore/President, the Board of Directors/Trustees, or in their absence or disability, by either the Vice Commodore/Vice President or the Rear Commodore/Vice President. Additionally, and upon the written request of not less than two-tenths (2/10ths) of all the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, special meetings of the Members shall be immediately called by the Commodore/President, or in the Commodore/President’s absence or disability, by either the Vice Commodore/Vice President or the Rear Commodore/Vice President, or by the Secretary, such written request to state the purpose, or purposes, of the meeting and to be delivered to the Commodore/President, the Vice Commodore/Vice President, the Rear Commodore/Vice President, or the Secretary, as applicable. In case of failure to call such meeting within twenty (20) days after such request, such Members may call the same.

Section 2.06. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors/Trustees may designate

any place, either within or without the State of Utah, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors/Trustees. A waiver of notice signed by all Members entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State of Utah, as the place for the holding of a meeting for which the Board of Directors/Trustees had designated a different location. If no such designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be at the principal office of the Club.

Section 2.07. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary or Assistant Secretary, if any, shall cause notice of the date, time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the Members, whether annual or special, to be mailed at least ten (10) days, but no more than fifty (50) days, prior to the meeting, to each Member of record entitled to vote.

Section 2.08. Closing of Stock Transfer Books. For the purpose of determining

Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Club shall close the Club’s stock transfer books for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting.

Section 2.09. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock

transfer books for Members of the Club shall make a complete list of the Members entitled to vote at each meeting of the Members of the Club or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of such Members, which list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any Member, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the Members entitled to examine such list or stock transfer books or to vote at any meeting of Members.

Section 2.10. Quorum for a Meeting of Members/Shareholders. Twenty percent

(20%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Club entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Members/Shareholders. If less than twenty percent (20%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Club entitled to vote are represented at a meeting, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Club so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock of the Club represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall constitute the act of the Members, unless the affirmative vote of a greater percentage is required by Utah law, by the Club’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or by these Bylaws.

Section 2.11. Proxies. At each meeting of the Members, each Member entitled to

vote shall be entitled to vote such Member’s share of stock in person or by proxy; provided, however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing by the Member owning such share of stock or by such Member’s duly authorized attorney in fact. Such instrument authorizing a proxy to act shall be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the Secretary of the Club or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the Secretary, be acting as secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after the conclusion of the meeting to which such proxy applies, as such meeting may be adjourned in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Persons holding shares of stock in the Club in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares of stock so held, except that no trustee or pledgee shall be entitled to vote shares of stock held by such trustee or pledgee without a transfer of such shares of stock into such trustee’s or pledgee’s name.

Section 2.12. Participation by Telephone Conference Call. Members may

participate in a meeting of the Members by means of conference telephone or similar communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 2.13. Voting of Members. Each share of stock shall be entitled to one (1)

vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Members, except to the extent that voting rights of the shares of stock of any class or classes are limited or denied by these Bylaws, by the Articles of Incorporation of the Club, or as otherwise permitted by law.

Section 2.14. Joint Members. The Club will permit not more than two (2)

persons who are over the age of 18 years, and who reside at the same primary residence, to be

jointly named, on Club records, as Members (collectively, “Joint Members” or, individually, a “Joint Member”) of the Club, and to jointly enjoy all of the benefits of, and to have all of the duties and responsibilities of, individual Members/Shareholders of the Club, notwithstanding that such Joint Members own only one (1) share of stock in the Club between them. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) such Joint Members shall be entitled to vote only one (1) share of stock between them, which vote shall be cast by the person designated in writing by the Joint Members or, if no such designation is made, by the Joint Member first listed on the records of the Club, and (ii) at such time as the Joint Members shall cease to reside at the same primary residence, only one (1) of such Joint Members shall continue to be a Member of the Club, with such continuing Member being either the person designated by the Joint Members in writing or, in the event that no such designation is made, the person first listed on the records of the Club. In the event that the non-designated Joint Member desires to remain as a Member of the Club, such person must apply to become a Member, and otherwise qualify to become a Member, in such person’s own right. Nothing herein shall prevent persons, who would otherwise qualify as Joint Members, from owning, in their own rights and in their own names, separate shares of stock in the Club. In such event, each such person shall be a Member/Shareholder in such person’s own right.

Section 2.15. Informal Action by Members. Any action required to be taken at a

meeting of the Members, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Members, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Members entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section 2.16. Examination by Members of Books and Records. Any person who

is a Member of record, upon written demand stating the purpose thereof, shall have the right to examine, in person, or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time or times, for any proper purpose, the Club’s books and records of account and minutes of record and to make extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a Member.

Section 2.17. Annual Dues: Consequences of Failure to Pay Annual Dues. In order to remain as a Member in good standing of the Club, each Member must pay, by the last day of April of each year, non-refundable annual dues (“Annual Dues”) in amounts from time to time established by the Directors/Trustees. The failure by a Member to timely pay such Annual Dues shall result in the following consequences, all of which shall remain in effect until the applicable non-paying Member has paid current all past-due Annual Fees, or until the applicable non-paying Member’s share ownership in the Club has been redeemed and canceled in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein: (i) such non-paying Member shall not be entitled to vote at either annual or special meetings of the Members, (ii) in connection with votes being taken with respect to the Club, the share ownership of such non-paying Member shall not be counted in determining either the aggregate number of shares of stock of the Club which are then entitled to vote or whether a quorum is present at any particular meeting, and (iii) such non-paying Member shall not be entitled to participate in activities sponsored by the Club, shall not be entitled to utilize the facilities owned by or provided by or through the Club, and shall not be entitled to enjoy the other benefits associated with being a Member of the Club. Non-paying Members shall, however, remain bound by all duties, obligations, and liabilities then affecting such non-paying Members specifically, or Members of the Club generally.

Section 2.18. Mandatory Redemption Of Members’ Shares. In the event that any

Member is, at any time, two (2) or more years in arrears with respect to the payment of Annual

Fees, and in the event that such non-paying Member does not cure such arrearage within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof being sent to the most recent address which the Club has for such non-paying Member, such non-paying Member’s share of stock in the Club, at the discretion of the Board of Directors/Trustees, shall be subject to mandatory redemption and cancellation upon the following terms and conditions: (i) the redemption price (the “Agreed Upon Redemption Amount”) for the share of stock of the non-paying Member shall be the Share Purchase Fee originally remitted by such non-paying Member. Such Agreed Upon Redemption Price, net of the offsets described herein, shall be paid to the non-paying Member within sixty (60) days of the date that the Board of Directors/Trustees determines to redeem such non-paying Member’s share of stock, (ii) in connection with such redemption, the Club shall be entitled to charge, to the non-paying Member, a reasonable processing fee (the “Processing Fee”), which Processing Fee shall be as from time to time set by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Club. Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, the Club shall, at all times, have the right to offset, against the Agreed Upon Redemption Amount due to any non-paying Member, both the amount of any then unpaid Annual Fees and the amount of any Processing Fee.

Upon the Club sending, to the non-paying Member, either: (a) the Agreed Upon

Redemption Amount, net of the offsets described herein, or (b) written notice (the “Offset Notice”) that, after the application of the offsets described herein, no Agreed Upon Redemption Amount is due to the non-paying Member, such non-paying Member’s stock in the Club shall be deemed to be automatically redeemed and canceled, and such non-paying Member shall have no further ownership or other rights or interests in or with respect to such stock or the Club. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Agreed Upon Redemption Amount or the Offset Notice, as appropriate, the non-paying Member shall deliver, to the Club, the stock certificate evidencing such non-paying Member’s stock, duly endorsed for transfer. A non-paying Member’s failure to execute and deliver such stock certificate, however, shall in no event affect the validity or enforceability of the redemption and cancellation of such non-paying Member’s stock as described herein.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of these Bylaws and the

terms of any “Members Agreement” that a non-paying Member and the Club have executed and delivered, the terms of such Members Agreement, as they relate to the redemption of stock held by such non-paying Member, shall govern.

Section 2.19. Absentee Status. In the event that a Member expects to be living in

a geographical location that would effectively preclude such Member from participating in the activities of the Club for a period of in excess of one (1) year, such Member may apply, to the Board of Directors/Trustees in writing, to be placed on absentee status (“Absentee Status”). The Board of Directors/Trustees, after considering the facts and circumstances with respect to any such application, shall determine, in its discretion, whether to grant such Absentee Status. In the event that Absentee Status is granted to any Member, the Board of Directors/Trustees may reduce the amount of Annual Dues to be paid by the applicable Member to an amount which the Board of Directors/Trustees deems to be appropriate in its discretion.

Section 2.20. Matters Relating To Certain Member/Shareholders. As a

consequence of its long history, coupled with lost, misplaced, or otherwise incomplete membership records and information, the Club has some uncertainty with respect to the precise identities of all of its Members/Shareholders. It is therefore possible that, from time to time, persons may claim to be Members/Shareholders of the Club, notwithstanding that the Club has

no records supporting such persons’ claims. In such cases, the Board of Directors/Trustees, in its discretion, shall be entitled to take such actions as it deems to be appropriate including, but not limited to: (i) rejecting the applicable claim, or (ii) accepting such claim, whether on an unconditional basis or subject to such conditions which the Board of Directors/Trustees deems to be appropriate. In connection with any claim which is accepted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, and upon the satisfaction of applicable conditions, if any, a stock certificate shall be issued to the applicable claimant.

Section 2.21. Restrictions On Transfer Of Shares. Except as specifically set forth

herein, no transfer of a Member/Shareholder’s share of stock of the Club, whether by sale, purchase, assignment, operation of law, or otherwise, and whether to a spouse, family member(s), or third parties, shall be permitted without the express written consent of the Board of Directors/Trustees, which consent may be withheld for any reason.

Section 2.22. Rights And Interests Of Members Upon Dissolution/Transfer. In

the event that, at any time, the Club is dissolved pursuant to the terms of applicable law, or in the event that all of the shares of stock of the Club, or substantially all of the Club’s assets, are sold or otherwise transferred, each of the Members shall be entitled to that portion of the “Net Equity Upon Disposition” (as such term is hereinafter defined), if any, that equals such Member’s ownership percentage in the Club.

The “Net Equity Upon Disposition,” if any, shall be determined in accordance

with the Club’s historical accounting procedures and relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as such determination is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock, represented in person or by proxy, at a meeting of Members at which a quorum is present. In the event that a proposed determination of Net Equity Upon Disposition is not so approved at a meeting of Members, the Net Equity Upon Disposition shall be as determined by a third party selected pursuant to a majority vote of Members at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Net Equity Upon Disposition, if any, shall be paid to the Members as soon as practicable after the consummation of the applicable dissolution or transfer and the winding up of, or the adequate provision for the winding up of, the Club’s business affairs, as same are determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Directors/Trustees.

Section 2.23. Honorary Members. The Board of Directors/Trustees may, from

time to time in its discretion, designate persons as “Honorary Members” of the Club. Such Honorary Members shall have no voting rights with respect to the Club but may, if so determined by the Board of Directors/Trustees, have the right to participate in Club activities and utilize Club facilities. The duration of the designation of any person as an Honorary Member of the Club shall be one (1) year, with the Board of Directors/Trustees, in its discretion, being entitled to renew such designation on one or more occasions.

Section 2.24. Junior Members. The Club may, from time to time, designate

persons as “Junior Members” of the Club. In order to be designated as a Junior Member of the Club, a person must satisfy all of the following: (i) be under the age of eighteen (18) years of age, and (ii) be approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees. The following matters shall also apply to Junior Members: (a) such Junior Members shall not own any shares of stock in the Club, and shall possess no voting or other rights which would normally be associated with share ownership, (b) shall pay, on or before the last day of April during each year, non-refundable “Junior Member Annual Fees” in amounts from time to time established by the Board of

Directors/Trustees, and (c) in the event of a failure to timely pay the applicable Junior Member Annual Fees, such non-paying Junior Member shall, immediately upon notice from the Club, forfeit all rights to participate in the Club’s activities and to utilize the Club’s facilities during the applicable year. In consideration of their payment of the foregoing fees, Junior Members shall be entitled to participate in all Club activities which the Board of Directors/Trustees designate as being available to Junior Members. It is anticipated that many of the Club activities will not be designated as being available to Junior Members. Furthermore, the Board of Directors/Trustees, after having designated any particular activities as being available or not available to Junior Members, shall have the right to subsequently change such designation for any reason, in the sole discretion of such Board of Directors/Trustees.

In its discretion, the Board of Directors/Trustees may issue, to Junior Members,

membership cards or other appropriate evidences of the status of the holder thereof as a Junior Member of the Club.

Board of Directors/Trustees present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless the act of a greater number of members of the Board of Directors/Trustees is required by the Articles of Incorporation of the Club or these Bylaws, be the act of the Board of Directors/Trustees, and individual members of the Board of Directors/Trustees shall have no power as such.

Section 3.11. No Compensation, Attendance Fees, etc. The Club does not anticipate paying any compensation, attendance fees, travel or lodging expenses, or other amounts to persons serving on the Board of Directors/Trustees.

appropriate, such payments must be authorized by the Members. Section 3.12. Presumption of Assent. A member of the Board of

Directors/Trustees of the Club who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless such Director/Trustee’s dissent: (i) shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting, (ii) shall be filed, in writing, with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof, or (iii) shall be forwarded by registered or certified mail to the Secretary of the Club immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.
