Designated User Members have the same rights and privileges as a Stockholder Golf or Tennis Member, as the case may be.

Section 5.9 Non-Electing Member.

Certain persons who were Members of the Club prior to the acquisition of the Club by the Corporation elected not to tender their interests for stock in the Corporation (the Non-Electing Members). Non-Electing Members are not required to own stock in the Corporation in order to enjoy the privileges of Membership. The Non-Electing Members have no voting rights and may not serve on the Board. The Board has the authority to set separate dues structures and assessment structures for the Non-Electing Members. The Board has the authority to set the terms of any

Page 10: Club Rules & Bylaws

- 4 -

Membership for all Non-Electing Members. Non-Electing Members are required to comply with the Club’s Rules and Regulations, and Guest Policies.

Section 5.10 Founder Member. The Founder Members are the persons who owned Founder Memberships as of April 1, 1992 (both individual and corporate) (collectively, the “Founders”). The Founder Members have the same rights and privileges, other than voting rights, as a Stockholder Golf Member. However, Founder Members are not required to pay monthly dues, green fees, locker fee, or assessments except as defined below. The Founder Members are required to comply with the Club’s Rules, Regulations and Guest Policies.

Section 5.10.1 Individual Founder Member. The Individual Founder Memberships are not transferable except as described herein. An Individual Founder Member and his spouse are entitled to the benefits conferred in Section 5.10 for the lifetime of the Individual Founder Member and his spouse. Upon the death of the Individual Founder Member or his spouse or by transfer or donation, either the Individual Founder Member or his spouse may transfer the Individual Founder Membership to a son or daughter of the Individual Founder Member or his wife. The Club does not charge a transfer fee on this transfer. Subsequent to the transfer, the transferee is immediately required to pay the same dues, fees, and assessments paid by any other stockholding Golf Member. Upon the termination of use of the Individual Founder Membership either by the Founder Member or his wife, or by the direct descendent of the Individual Founder Member, the Individual Founder Membership is deemed extinguished, with no further right to use the Club, just as if no Individual Founder Membership had ever existed.

Section 5.10.2 Corporate Founder Member. For purposes of this section, a Corporate Founder Membership is a Membership owned by any corporation, partnership, joint venture, or any entity other than a natural person. Corporate Founder Members are entitled to the benefits conferred in Section 5.10 until June 30, 2017. Beginning July 1, 2017, all Corporate Founder Memberships are required to pay the same dues, fees, and assessments paid by Stockholder Golf Members. A Corporate Founder Member may, from time to time, designate an individual as the user of a Corporate Founder Membership. Any designated user of the Corporate Founder Membership is subject to the approval process set forth herein. A designated user of a Corporate Founder Membership must be either a direct descendant of the owner of the Corporate Founder Member or an employee of the Corporate Founder Member, unless otherwise approved by the Board. The Corporate Founder Memberships are not transferable, and any transfer to any other entity by operation of law, acquisition, merger, seizure, or liquidation, or by way of any other event, extinguishes the Corporate Founder Membership, just as if a Corporate Founder Membership had never existed.

Section 5.13 Transfer of Founder Membership. Any transfer of an Individual Founder Membership or change in the designated user of a Corporate Founder Membership must be presented to the Board in writing and is subject to the approval of the Board.

Section 5.14 Senior Membership

These terms and conditions can be provided upon request by the membership office.

Section 5.15 Junior Membership. The Board has established a Junior Membership Plan to allow qualified applicants under the age of thirty-five (35) Membership privileges in the Club without owning

stock. These terms and conditions can be provided upon request by the membership office.

Section 5.16 Application for Membership. Except as specified in this Section 5.16, each applicant for Membership in the Club (the “Applicant”) must be sponsored by a minimum of three (3) voting members (The “Sponsor(s)). Sponsors are responsible for obtaining and making sure the application for Membership (the “Application”) is complete with all attachments before submitting for approval. Incomplete Applications are not accepted. The Application must be completed truthfully in its entirety, and must be signed by the Applicant and spouse, if applicable. Each Sponsor must sign the Sponsor Agreement section of the Application and complete the Sponsor Questionnaire included with the Application. The Club has the right to obtain a credit inquiry on the Applicant and if applicable, the spouse.

An eligible Sponsor cannot be the seller of the Club stock the Applicant intends to purchase, a current Director, or a relative of the Applicant, and must be both a Stockholder and a Member in good standing of the Club. In lieu of sponsorship by three (3) Sponsors, the Membership Committee of the Board of Directors may sponsor qualified individuals for Membership.

All Applications must be for one of the classes of Membership set forth in Section 5.4 and 5.15 hereof. Further, Stockholder Golf Members may sponsor qualified applicants for any class of voting membership, but Tennis Members may only sponsor qualified applicants for Tennis or Social Memberships and Social Members may only sponsor qualified applicants for Social Memberships. Social Members wishing to become Tennis or Golf Members and Tennis Members wishing to become Golf Members are subject to the requirements of Section 5.17 herein.

Section 5.17 Posting and Approval. A majority of the Membership Committee must review and preliminarily approve each Application. The name, class of Membership, occupation, and Sponsors of each Applicant are posted upon the bulletin boards of the Club for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Posting Period”). Written objections by any Member to the approval of any Applicant should be filed with the General Manager of the Club or the chairman of the Membership Committee within the Posting Period for consideration by the Board. After completion of the Posting Period, the Applicant and spouse, if applicable, along with two of the three Sponsors must attend a meeting with the Membership Committee which may also include other members of the Board.

It is the duty of each Member possessed of any information derogatory to the character of an Applicant, or knowing of any good reason why Membership should not be granted to such individual, to communicate the same in accordance with this Section 5.17. All such communications are held in strictest confidence by the Membership Committee.

The Application is submitted to the Board by the chairman of the Membership Committee, along with any and all written objections received from the Membership during the Posting Period, for consideration. No Applicant can become a Member of the Club until their Application has been approved by a vote of at least seven of the Directors.

Section 5.18 Notification. It is the Sponsors’ responsibility to notify the Applicant of the Board’s approval or rejection of the Application. The Applicant has ninety (90) days to secure stock and make arrangements to complete the transaction with the Club General Manager. There is no provision to allow a prospective Member to utilize Club facilities until the completion of their stock transaction and the issuance of a Member number by

Page 12: Club Rules & Bylaws

- 6 -

the Club. At the time stock is issued to the new Member, the new Member must complete a new member orientation with the Club General Manager or his designee.

Section 5.19 Waiting List. When the limit of Memberships fixed by the Board for each respective class of Membership is reached, the names of all Applicants for that particular class of Membership are placed on a waiting list, and thereafter as vacancies occur in that particular class of Membership of the Club, the names of the Applicants are submitted to the Membership Committee and considered in the order determined by the Board.

Section 5.20 Agreement with Rules. Payment by a Member of fees and dues are deemed acquiescence in and knowledge of these By-Laws, as well as the Rules & Regulations of the Club (the “Rules”), and any amendments thereto.

Section 5.21 Transfer of Membership. Memberships are transferable to any person eligible for Membership upon compliance with the prerequisites to Membership provided herein and after approval of the Applicant in accordance with Section 5.17. No such transfer is effective until the payment by the transferee of a transfer fee and/or an initiation fee (plus any applicable taxes) in such amounts as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board in addition to the purchase price of the shares of stock. The transfer fee and/or initiation fee is payable upon the sale of a Member’s stock. Upon any such transfer, a new stock certificate is issued and the transferor’s stock certificate is deemed canceled. No Membership is transferable until payment to the Club of all indebtedness owed by the selling Member to the Club. Upon payment of all indebtedness to the Club, the Club will remit the proceeds from the Membership sale to the selling Member less the transfer fee and/or initiation fee and applicable taxes.

Section 5.22 Dependent Privileges and Spouse Privileges. Dependents of Members are entitled to the privileges afforded the Member under the applicable Membership class if the following criteria are met:

A. The dependent must be single; B. The dependent must be a true dependent and must meet the standards

established by the Internal Revenue Service until his/her 21st birthday; C. Should the dependent remain a full-time student and single, the dependent

status is extended to the dependent's 24th birthday, provided that the dependent continues to meet the standards established by the IRS.

D. Any Member who requests a dependent exemption for any child over the age of 21 must provide a signed statement to the Club on an annual basis.

Spousal privileges are extended only to legally married (as recognized under the laws of the State of Louisiana) spouses of Members. Membership privileges are not extended to girlfriends/boyfriends of single Members, or to "live-in" or “significant other” relationships. Applicable guest fees, policies and use limits apply in these circumstances.

Section 5.23 Death of Stockholder with Surviving Spouse. When advised by a surviving spouse within sixty (60) days of the death of a stockholding Member, that the surviving spouse has both (i) inherited 100% of the club stock and (ii) has paid all dues and charges to the date of the notice to the Club, the following applies: A. For a period of three (3) months (the “Waiver Period”) all Membership dues or any recurring fees (such as locker rentals, etc.) are waived.

Page 13: Club Rules & Bylaws

- 7 -

B. The surviving spouse is required to pay all other charges (activity and guest fees, food and beverage charges exclusive of required minimums, etc.) during the Waiver Period. C. The Club informs the surviving spouse of the requirement to notify the Club in writing of the option the surviving spouse elects. Without written notification at the end of the Waiver Period, dues and other recurring fees start again. D. At the end of the Waiver Period the surviving spouse can elect to:

1. Continue to own the stock; 2. Choose one of the options for exiting the Club described in Section 6.5; or 3. In the case of transfer of a Stockholder Golf Membership to a Tennis

Membership, subject to availability of a Tennis Membership: (a) The surviving spouse pays tennis dues and ceases to pay full golf

dues at the end of the Waiver Period. (b) When the Stockholder Golf Membership stock is transferred, the

sum of (i) the current value of the Tennis Membership, (ii) the difference between the monthly tennis and golf dues multiplied by the number of months the Stockholder Golf Membership stock was for sale, and (iii) all applicable transfer fees and taxes, if any, is deducted from the sales price of the stock. The net proceeds are paid to the surviving spouse. The sale of the stock is subject to these By-Laws.

If the surviving spouse chooses to sell his/her stock, then that stock is given priority and placed at the top of the Member Sale List behind other such surviving spouses previously placed on the list.

ARTICLE VI.

RESIGNATION, CENSURE, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION Section 6.1. Suspension or Termination. Any Member may be fined, censured, or suspended for sufficient cause by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Directors. The determination of the Board as to the sufficiency of the cause therefore is final. In the event the Member is terminated, the Member automatically forfeits the ownership interest in the Club represented by the Member’s stock certificate, and the Terminated Member is permanently barred from use of the Club in any capacity, including usage as a guest. In the event the terminated Member does not voluntarily return the stock certificate representing the terminated Member’s ownership interest upon notice of termination, then the Club is authorized to cancel the Member stock certificate and return the share(s) to the Club treasury making such share(s) available for sale.

Section 6.2. Cause. The term cause, for purposes of Section 6.1 hereof, includes, but is not limited to, being more than forty-five (45) days delinquent on the payment of any bill, disorderly conduct at the Club, destruction of Club Property, conduct endangering the good order, welfare, or character of the Club, willful or intentional violation of any Rule, or being deemed financially irresponsible as defined in Section 7.4 hereof. The misconduct of Members, their families and guests is the responsibility of each respective Member. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, profanity, loud or boisterous conduct, personal confrontation or berating of any staff member, or any action that would infringe upon the enjoyment, use or welfare of the Club by another Member.

Page 14: Club Rules & Bylaws

- 8 -

If the Rules Committee, after investigation, decides that the conduct of such Member is prejudicial to the good order, welfare, or character of the Club or in violation of any Rule, the Committee may censure such Member, or it may refer the matter to the Board and may include in its reference a recommendation that the Member be assessed a fine or be temporarily suspended from all privileges of the Club pending final action by the Board.

If the Board is satisfied of the truth and merit of the complaint, they may assess a fine, censure the Member, or suspend him for a stated period. If in their collective judgment the best interests of the Club so require, they may request the Member to resign, and, upon his failure or refusal to do so, the Board may terminate his Membership.

Section 6.3. Appeal. A Member assessed a fine in excess of five hundred dollars ($500), a suspension in excess of thirty (30) days, or persons subject to termination of Membership in the Club are notified of such action(s) by the Board in writing. Within seven (7) days of receipt of such notice, the Member has the right to request a hearing by the Board. Penalties not falling in these categories are imposed by the Board without a hearing and are final.

Section 6.4. Dues Payable during Suspension. During a period of suspension, the suspended Member continues to be responsible for applicable dues and assessments but does not have any Club privileges, including participation in any off-site activity that represents the club.

Section 6.5. Options for Exiting the Club. To participate in any of the following options, the Member must have paid all obligations to the club, have a zero account balance and provide a written request to the General Manager.

A. Tender Stock to Club (“Option A”). The Member may surrender his stock to the Club. All Membership privileges cease and the Member receives no remuneration for their stock.

B. Sell Stock Through the Club (“Option B”). If a Stockholder requests this option, their stock is placed at the bottom of the Member Sale List. All Membership privileges and obligations continue including the payment of all dues, fees and assessments as any other Golf Member or Tennis Member while the stock is on the Member Sale List. The sale of the stock is subject to these By-Laws. All transfer fees and applicable taxes apply, if any. In the event a Member’s share becomes the next share to be sold and the Member elects to remove their name/stock from the Member Sale List, the Member is prohibited from utilizing Option B to sell their stock for a period of twelve (12) months. If the Member requests to return to the Member Sale List prior to the expiration of the twelve (12) month period, they must deposit with the Club the current transfer fee (plus applicable taxes, if any) in order to do so.

C. Member Sells Stock (“Option C”). All Membership privileges and obligations continue including the payment of all dues, fees and assessments as any other Golf Membership or Tennis Membership while the Member markets the stock privately. The sale of the stock is subject to these By-laws and requires the prospective Member to complete all aspects of the Membership process. All transfer fees and applicable taxes apply, if any. It is a violation of the Rules to advertise Club stock for sale in any public forum (newspaper, on-line etc.). The Board may deny the transfer of stock if it determines that such advertising occurred.

Page 17: Club Rules & Bylaws

All nominees to the Board must be Stockholders, or designees of record of Designated User Members, and have satisfied, during the previous twelve calendar months preceding the date of the nominations, those standards set forth in this Section 8.1. The Corporation mails a notice to all Stockholders, requesting nominations to the Board. This request for nominations must be mailed no fewer than forty (40) days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting. The Stockholders have the right to nominate persons for a period of up to twenty (20) days after mailing of the request for nominations. Any nomination received after that date may be accepted, at the discretion of the Board. All nominations by Stockholders must be made pursuant to timely notice, in proper written form, signed by five (5) Stockholders and the person being nominated to serve as a Director, by delivering the same to the Secretary.
