Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

On August 24, 2004, the Board of Directors of Hughes Supply, Inc., approved the restatement of its articles of incorporation. The restatement did not contain an amendment to the articles of incorporation and did not require shareholder approval. The restated articles of incorporation became effective on August 24, 2004 and are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

On August 24, 2004, the Board of Directors also amended the bylaws of Hughes Supply, Inc. to effect the change in the Company’s fiscal year from a 52- or 53- week period ending on the last Friday in January to a 52-week fiscal year ending on January 31 of each year effective January 31, 2005. The amended and restated bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2. This is not deemed to be a change in fiscal year for the purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because the new fiscal year commences with the end of the old fiscal year, and no transition report is required.

ARTICLE XIII

Section A. Higher Vote Required for Certain Business Combinations. In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or these Articles of Incorporation, and except as expressly provided in Section B of this Article XIII, the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”) shall be required for the approval or authorization of any Business Combination (as hereinafter defined).

Section B. Exceptions to Higher Voting Requirement. The provisions of Section A of this Article XIII shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is required by law or any other Article of these Articles of Incorporation, if the Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined) or if all of the following conditions are met:

1. The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined), as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, of consideration other than cash to be received per share by holders of Common Stock in such Business Combination shall be at least equal to the higher of (i) the highest price paid for any share of Common Stock by the Interested Shareholder (as hereinafter defined) involved in the proposed Business Combination within the two-year period immediately prior to the time of the first public announcement of such proposed Business Combination (the “Announcement Date”) or in the transaction in which such person became an Interested Shareholder, whichever price is the higher; or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the Announcement Date, or on the date on which the Interested Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder (the “Determination Date”), whichever is higher. The price paid for any share of Common Stock shall be the amount of cash plus the Fair Market Value of any other consideration to be received therefor, determined at the time of payment therefor.

6

2. The consideration to be received by holders of a particular class of outstanding Voting Stock (including Common Stock) shall be in cash or in the same form as the Interested Shareholder has previously paid for shares of such class of Voting Stock. If the Interested Shareholder has paid for shares of any class of Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration, the form of consideration for such class of Voting Stock shall be either cash or the form of consideration used to acquire the largest number of shares of such class of Voting Stock previously acquired by it. The price determined in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Section B shall be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or similar event.

3. After the Determination Date and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: (i) there shall have been (a) no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the Common Stock) and no failure to declare and pay at the regular date therefor any full dividend (whether or not cumulative) on any outstanding Preferred Stock, except as approved by a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors, and (b) an increase in the annual rate of dividends if necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of stock, unless the failure so to increase such rates is approved by a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors; and (ii) such Interested Shareholder shall not have become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock without the approval of a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors except as part of the transaction which results in such Interested Shareholder becoming an Interested Shareholder or pursuant to a stock ownership, stock option or other benefit plan maintained by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries generally for the officers and/or employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

4. After the Determination Date, such Interested Shareholder shall not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation, whether in anticipation of or in connection with such Business Combination or otherwise.

5. A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent provisions replacing such act, rules or regulations) shall be mailed to all stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such act or subsequent provisions).

(iv) the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of any securities of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of an Interested Shareholder other than the issuance of securities by the Corporation or any Subsidiary (a) upon the exercise of warrants or the conversion of convertible securities of the Corporation or any Subsidiary which are directly or indirectly owned by any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Shareholder, or (b) in connection with any stock option, stock ownership or other benefit plan maintained by the Corporation or any Subsidiary generally for the officers and/or employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary;

(iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Voting Stock.

5. For the purposes of determining whether a person is an Interested Shareholder pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Section C, the number of shares of Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed owned through application of Paragraph 4 of this Section C but shall not include any other shares of Voting Stock which may be issuable to other persons pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

APPENDIX A

TO RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

of

HUGHES SUPPLY, INC.

I. Designation and Amount

The shares of such new series shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 75,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

II. Dividends and Distributions

(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “First Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 or (ii) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the First Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (a) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (c) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing or surviving corporation), then, in each such case and regardless of whether any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then issued or outstanding, the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the

number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section II immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless (i) the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the First Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of the first issuance of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall not be more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

III. Voting Rights

The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing or surviving corporation), then, in each such case and regardless of whether any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then issued or outstanding, the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of

A-2

which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other articles of amendment creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

IV. Certain Restrictions

(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section II are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

(ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

A-3

(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section IV, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

V. Reacquired Shares

Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.

VI. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (A) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment; provided, however, that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (B) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing or surviving corporation), then, in each such case and regardless of whether any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then issued or outstanding, the aggregate amount to which each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (A) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

A-4

VII. Consolidation, Merger, etc.

In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then, in each such case, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (A) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing or surviving corporation), then, in each such case and regardless of whether any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then issued or outstanding, the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

VIII. Redemption

2

(ii) No amendment to the Articles of Incorporation may amend or delete the requirement that two-thirds of the total number of shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote approve any plan of consolidation or merger under which the Corporation is not the surviving constituent corporation, unless at a meeting duly called two-thirds of the total number of shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote shall approve such amendment or deletion of such requirement; and

6. Judges. At every meeting of stockholders the vote shall be conducted by one or more judges appointed for that purpose by the Board of Directors; and all questions respecting the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance and rejection of votes shall be decided by such judges. Before acting at any meeting, the judges shall be sworn faithfully to execute their duties, with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability. If no judges appointed by the Board of Directors to act at any meeting shall be present and willing to act at such meeting, the person presiding at the meeting may appoint one or more judges so to act. The judges shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the judges and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The judges may appoint or retain other persons to assist them in the performance of their duties. The time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxy or vote, nor any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the judges after the closing of the polls. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the judges shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted therewith, any information provided by a stockholder who submits a proxy by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission from which it can be determined that the proxy was authorized by the stockholder, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, and they may also consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the judges consider other reliable information for such purpose, they shall, at the time they make their certification, specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the judges’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

7. Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposals. At any annual or special meeting of stockholders, proposals by stockholders shall be considered only if advance notice thereof has been timely given as provided herein and such proposals are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Corporation. Notice of any proposal to be presented by any stockholder at any annual meeting of stockholders shall be delivered to the President or the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal executive office not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; in the event of a special meeting or if the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than thirty days from the anniversary date, such advance notice shall be given not more than ten days after such date is first so announced or disclosed. Any stockholder who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith a brief written description of the proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any other stockholder known by such stockholder to be supporting such proposal, the number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such stockholder on the date of such notice and by any other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such proposal on such date, and any material interest of such stockholder in the proposal or material relationship of such stockholder

The Board of Directors shall consist of three or more directors, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full Board of Directors or by holders of record of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting thereof. The directors shall be classified with respect to the time for which they shall severally hold office by dividing them into three classes, each consisting of as near one-third of the whole number of Directors as practicable, and all directors of the Corporation shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified.

Nominations, other than those made by the existing Board of Directors, for an annual meeting shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the President or the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; in the event of a special meeting or if the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than thirty days from the anniversary date, such advance notice shall be given not more than ten days after such date is first so announced or disclosed. Such nomination and notification shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying stockholder:

(i) The names and addresses of the proposed nominee or nominees;

(ii) The number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such nominee or nominees;

5

(iii) The information regarding such nominee or nominees required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the Corporation);

(iv) Each nominee’s signed consent to serve as a Director of the Corporation if elected;

(v) The total number of shares that to the knowledge of the notifying or nominating stockholders will be voted for each of the proposed nominees;

In case the day appointed for a regular meeting shall fall upon a Saturday or legal holiday in the State of Florida, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day not Saturday or legal holiday in Florida, at the regularly appointed hour. Except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws, any and all business may be transacted at any regular meeting.

7. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held whenever called by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by any two of the directors. Notice to a director of any such meeting may be given in writing, by mailing the same to the residence or place of business of the director as shown on the books of the Corporation not later than two days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or may be given by sending the same to him at such place by telegraph or by delivering the same to him personally or leaving the same for him at his place of business or by giving the same to him personally or by telephone, not later than the day before such day of meeting. Notice of any meeting of the Board need not, however, be given to any director, if waived by him in writing (including telegram, cablegram or radiogram) or if he shall be present at the meeting; and any meeting of the Board of Directors shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given, if all members shall be present thereat. Except as otherwise provided in the By- Laws or as may be indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at any special meeting.

The Board of Directors acting by a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors (as defined in Article XIII of the Articles of Incorporation) shall have the power and duty to determine for the purpose of Article XIII on the basis of information known to them after reasonable inquiry, all facts necessary to determine the applicability of the various provisions of Article XIII, including (1) whether a person is an Interested Shareholder (as defined in Article XIII), (2) the number of shares of Voting Stock (as defined in Article XIII) beneficially owned by any person, (3) whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate (as defined in, Article XIII) of another, and (4) whether the requirements of Section B of Article XIII have been met with respect to any Business Combination (as defined in Article XIII), and the good faith determination of a majority of the directors who are Disinterested Directors shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of Article XIII.

10. Directors’ Compensation. The Board of Directors shall have authority to determine from time to time the amount, if any, of compensation and expenses which shall be paid to its members for attendance at meetings of the Board or of any committee of the Board. The Board of Directors shall also have power, in its discretion, to provide for and to pay to directors rendering services to the Corporation not ordinarily rendered by directors, as such, special compensation appropriate to the value of such services, as determined by the Board from time to time.

11. Resignations.

As far as practicable, members of the Executive Committee and their alternates (if any) shall be appointed at the organization meeting of the Board in the next subsequent year and until their respective successors are appointed. Any vacancy in the Executive Committee may be filled by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors.

Notice of any special meeting of the Executive Committee may be given in the manner provided in the By-Laws for giving notice of a special meeting of the Board of Directors, but notice of any such meeting need not be given to any member of the Executive Committee if waived by him in writing (including telegram, cablegram or radiogram) or if he shall be present at the meeting; and any meeting of the Executive Committee shall be a legal meeting, without any notice thereof having been given, if all the members shall be present thereat.

Amendments

Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Articles of Incorporation, these By-Laws or any provisions thereof may be amended, altered, or repealed, in any particulars and new By-Laws or provisions, not inconsistent with any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or any provision of law, may be adopted by the Board of Directors, at any meeting thereof, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole number of Directors, or by the stockholders of the Corporation, at any meeting of the stockholders, provided, however, that the power of the Directors to make and alter By-Laws shall be subject to such restrictions upon the exercise of such power as may be expressly imposed by the stockholders in any By-Laws adopted by them from time to time.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnification

1. Right to Indemnification. Any person, his heirs, or personal representative, made, or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or investigative (“Proceeding”) because he is or was a director or officer of this Corporation or serves or served any other corporation or other enterprise in any capacity at the request of this Corporation, shall be indemnified by this Corporation, to the full extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act, under Section 607.0850; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In discharging his duty, any director or officer, when acting in good faith, may rely upon information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by (1) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the director or officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, (2) counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director or officer believes to be within that person’s professional or expert competence, or (3) in the case of a director, a committee of the board of directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated according to law, as to matters within its designated authority, if the director reasonably believes that the committee is competent.

2. Advances. The rights set forth above in this Article VIII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending or being represented in any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer because he is or was a director or officer of this Corporation or serves or served any other corporation or enterprise in any capacity at the request of this Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

12

3. Contract Right. All rights to indemnification, including advancement of expenses, shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and the director or officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article VIII and other relevant provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act and other applicable law, if any, are in effect, such that any repeal or modification thereof shall not adversely affect any right existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

4. Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under the preceding paragraphs of this Article VIII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 90 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant 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, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense, including attorney’s fees, of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant had not met the applicable standard of conduct.

5. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of these By-Laws, the Articles of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

6. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, for the purpose of indemnifying itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to provide such indemnity under the Florida Business Corporation Act.
