Accordingly, the term “member” or “members” as used in these Bylaws shall generally refer to only the Director members, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. The Board of Directors may establish the terms and conditions of each class of nonvoting membership, including without limitation, the terms of membership and the fees and other costs of membership. No compensation or benefits may be provided to director members, officers or nonvoting members which would violate Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 6.2. Memberships are Nontransferable. No class of membership shall be transferable or assignable except upon such terms, conditions, and limitations as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.

Likewise, no person shall have or acquire any vested right in the exercise or continuance of any of the services, privileges or benefits of the Corporation. All conditions of membership, services, privileges, benefits, fees, dues, and all other charges of the Corporation shall be subject to amendment, alteration or revocation by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion.

ARTICLE VII-AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be amended or repealed by a consensus of the Board, upon 30 days advance notice of the proposed amendment or repeal.

ARTICLE VIII-PUBLIC ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RECORDS

It is the policy of the Corporation to subject itself to the provisions of Mo. Rev. Stat. Chapter 610, as amended, the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, or the corresponding provision of any applicable future law or regulations related to the same subject matter (collectively, “Chapter 610”) as though the Corporation were a public governmental body (as that term is defined in Chapter 610) insofar as they can be made applicable and are not otherwise inconsistent with the Corporation’s Articles or these bylaws; provided that no action of the Corporation can be invalidated for having failed to abide by the provisions of Chapter 610; provided further that neither the Corporation nor any of its Directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any monetary damages or civil fines or other penalties for violation of Chapter 610; and provided further that, in addition to those matters listed in Chapter 610, the Corporation is authorized to close meetings, records and votes to the extent that they relate to (a) investment decisions or investments (including the purchase or sale of any properties or securities) made by the Corporation and (b) the processes of the Board and the Corporation in identifying qualified individuals to be nominated to fill Board vacancies and staff position. The Attorney General will have the exclusive authority to enforce this provision

ARTICLE IX- MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted by law, by the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, or by these Bylaws to be taken at a meeting of the Directors or any Committee may be taken without a meeting if unanimous consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the board or committee member entitled to vote. Such written consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote of such directors or committee members, as the case may be.

Section 9.2. Resignations. Any Director, Officer or Committee member may resign by so stating at any meeting of the Board or by giving written notice to the Board, the Chairperson or the Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective at the time specified therein or, if no such time is stated therein, upon receipt. Unless otherwise specified in the notice of resignation, no acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it effective.

Section 9.3. Conflict of Interest. In the event a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest develops between any Director, Officer or Committee member and the Corporation, such Director, Officer or member must disclose the actual or potential conflict in writing to the Board promptly and the Board shall review the situation and make a determination as to appropriate action, if any. In connection with any such Board determination, which includes, but is not limited to removal as a Director or Officer, the Director, Officer or Committee member who possibly has a conflict of interest shall have no vote and shall not be counted in determining whether a quorum of the Board is present for that determination.
