NBWA Statement of Antitrust Policy

The United States antitrust laws were en act ed to preserve the free enterprise sys tem, to promote competition and to protect the public and other businesses from ex clu sion ary or predatory trade prac tic es. The National Beer Whole sal ers As so ci a tion (NBWA) and its members are best served by strict ad her ence to the antitrust laws. NBWA shall at all times promote vigorous com pe ti tion in compliance with these laws.

NBWA’s policy includes com pli ance with the spirit as well as the letter of the antitrust laws. This requires the un der stand ing and cooperation of each NBWA mem ber and staff employee. It is their per son al obligation and responsibility to act in a manner con sis tent with the na tion’s an ti trust laws.

Because of the scope and intricacy of the antitrust laws, NBWA members and staff must be sensitive to activities rais ing po tential problems under the an ti trust laws. The NBWA Antitrust Guide should be con sult ed. It identifies specific areas of an ti trust con cern as well as other areas where legal counsel should be sought.

All NBWA activities, meetings or dis cus sions shall avoid any conduct that would:

1. Raise, lower or stabilize pric es;

2. Allocate geographic ar eas or customers served;

3. Encourage refusals to deal or boycotts; or that in any way would violate fed er al or state antitrust laws.

Section 5: Meetings of Regular Members and Voting5.1 Membership Meetings. Annual or Special Meetings of regular members of the As-

sociation shall be held at such place and on such dates as may be determined by the Board of Directors, upon not less than 30 days’ written notice to each regular member. Special meetings may be called by the Board with lesser notice where the Board determines that good cause exists.

5.2 Quorum and Voting. A quorum for any Annual or Special Meeting of the Association is a majority of the regular members registered as attending the meeting at which at least 20 percent of all regular members have registered. Each regular member in good standing has one vote for each basic permit under the FAA Act for which that member has a NBWA membership. All votes shall be cast in person only, except that the Board of Directors may specifically authorize mail (including facsimile) or proxy voting for designated issues in the notice of any meeting. Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws, a majority vote of those regular members present and voting (including those votes authorized by mail, equivalent substitute or proxy) shall govern.

5.3 Rules of Order. The meetings of regular members of the Association shall be governed by Robert’s Rules of Order, except as otherwise authorized by the Board of Directors.

The Secretary shall determine whether the above requirements for regular or associate membership have been met.

(b) Withdrawal and Termination. A regular or associate member may with-draw from the Association after fulfilling all financial obligations to it by written notice to the Secretary. A regular membership shall be terminated or suspended by the Secretary for nonpayment of dues, assessments, subscriptions, other obligations of the Association, or withdrawal from business as an independent beer wholesaler. Such a termination shall be effective 30 days after written notice is mailed to the member (unless cured). An associate member shall be termi-nated or suspended for nonpayment of dues or assessments 30 days after written notice is mailed to the member (unless cured). Upon the effective date of termination, suspension or resignation, the affected member shall no longer be entitled to the privileges of membership and shall cease the display or use of any mark of membership in the Association.

(c) Appeal. An applicant or member shall have the right to appeal a decision of the Secretary rejecting an application or terminating or suspending membership by filing a written statement setting forth the basis of the appeal and requesting a personal appearance if desired. The ap-peal will be considered by the Management Committee (or such other committee designated by the Board) at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

(b) Regional Chairs. 5 There shall be elected from the state directors only and not from the Appointed Directors, as specified below, 10 regional Chairs from numbered regions (1 through 8) and at-large regions (East and West). The division of states into numbered and at-large regions shall be as determined by the Board of Directors.

(i) Numbered Regions. Each numbered region shall elect a chair for a two-year term. Terms of such Regional Chairs shall be stag-gered so that chairs of even numbered and odd numbered regions are elected in alternate years. The election of such Regional Chairs shall be by the expiring Board at its final meeting after the election of officers is completed. Only those whose terms on the Board of Directors do not expire at said meeting shall be eligible to serve as a Regional Chair.

(ii) At-Large Regions. Each at-large region shall elect a Chair for a one-year term. The election of such Regional Chairs shall be by the expiring Board at its final meeting after the election of numbered Regional Chairs is completed. Only those whose terms on the Board of Directors do not expire at said meet-ing shall be eligible to serve as a Regional Chair.

(c) State Directors.

(i) Eligibility. Any officer, stockholder or employee of a regular mem-ber so designated by that member shall be eligible for elec-tion as a state director.

(ii) Term. Each state and the District of Columbia shall elect a State Director for a term of three years (or until such time as a successor is elected) commencing with the meeting of the Board of Directors after the new Board is certified. (Regular members from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands shall be included with the regular members of Florida for purposes of such elections; regular members from other territories and possessions shall be included in a state election as determined by the Board.) Terms of State Directors shall be staggered as determined by the Board so that approximately one-third of the State Directors are elected each year; if a state has more than one director, the terms of such a state’s directors shall also be staggered if practicable. State Direc-tors shall not be eligible for reelection to consecutive three-year terms until one year has elapsed since the expiration

5 Amendment dated April 28, 1996, changed the time of the election of regional chairmen to the same Board of Director’s meeting at which NBWA officers are elected. Prior to this amendment, regional chairs were elected at NBWA’s annual meeting at the first meeting of the incoming Board of Directors. Further amended on April 25, 2004 by the Board of Directors to reflect the long standing practice of the Association as to the composition of the Board.

53

the NBWA-State Association Committee who shall serve as voting members on specified standing committees as determined by the Board.

7.3 Special Committees. The Board may authorize the creation of such special committees as it deems appropriate.

The Chair of the Board shall appoint regular members of the Association, including but not limited to members of the Board, as members of such special committees, and he shall also designate the chair of such committees.

7.4 Terms and Vacancies. All appointments to standing and special committees of the Board shall be for no longer than one-year terms commencing no later than November 1 of each year. The Chair of the Board shall fill any vacancy on such committees for the unexpired term from others eligible for appointment to such committees.

Section 8: Officers8.1 Elected Officers. The elected officers of the Association shall be a Chair, Immediate

Each such officer shall be elected for a one-year term by the expiring Board at its final meeting, except that the Vice Chair shall be deemed to be automatically elected Chair at the next annual meeting held at the end of the term of the Chair, at which time the then Chair shall automatically become the Immediate Past Chair.

(a) Qualifications. Any regular member in good standing who is a current mem-ber of the Board, who is not an appointed director pursuant to Sec-tion 6.2(c), and has completed one year of service on the Board shall be eligible for nomination and election to any elective office.

(b) Vacancies. The vacancy of an office shall be determined as set forth in Section 6.3(d). A vacancy in the office of Chair shall automatically be filled by the Vice Chair for the unexpired term, and such service shall not disqualify the Vice Chair from continuing as Chair for a full one-year term at the next annual meeting of the Board. The election of a Vice Chair to fill a vacancy shall be limited to that unexpired term. A va-cancy in the office of Immediate Past Chair shall be filled by the next prior past Chair. A vacancy in any other elective office shall be filled by a vote of the Board from among those eligible for election to such office.

(c) Nomination and Election Procedures. The rules governing nominations of officers shall be determined by the committee assigned responsibility by the Board for nominations of officers. All such elections shall be by written secret ballot unless waived by unanimous consent of the Board. Any director may vote by written proxy where such director’s absence is approved as excused by the Chair of the Board.

NBWA Board Members who have completed a one-year term of service may announce their intention to run for Vice Chair, Secretary or Treasurer no sooner than June 1 of the election year. Announce-ments must be made in writing to the NBWA Chair of the Nominating Committee.

Declaration of intent must be received no later than 30 days in ad-vance of the Board’s final meeting of that year, held in conjunction with the NBWA Annual Convention.

(d) Authority and Duties. Elected officers shall have such authority and shall perform such duties as are commonly assigned to such offices and as

52

of a majority in lieu of a meeting.

6.5 Quorum and Voting. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of the voting members of the Board shall constitute a quorum, and all members of the Board present, including the Chair, shall have one vote. In order to vote, a member must be personally present at the meeting, unless the Board consents to voice telephonic participation. Proxy voting and mail ballots are not permitted at any Board meeting for actions of the Board.

6.6 Others Attending Board Meetings. All chairs of standing and special committees shall attend meetings of the Board. Two state executives who are members of the NBWA-State Association Committee shall be selected by the Chair of NBWA and shall be invited to attend meetings of the Board. Subject to the concurrence of the Board, the Chair or President may invite others to attend any meeting of the Board. In addition, staff of NBWA shall attend and be available to the Board as determined by the President or Chair. All persons identified in this Section 6.6 who are not also members of the Board shall have no vote on any matter before the Board.

6.7 Rules of Order. The meetings of the Board shall be governed by Robert’s Rules of Order, except as otherwise authorized by the Board.

6.8 Referendum. Ten percent of the regular members may petition for a referendum to overrule any action of the Board. Such a referendum shall then be held and it shall take a majority of all regular members eligible to vote at the time of the referendum to overturn the action of the Board.

manage the property, affairs, activities and concerns of the Association under policies established by the Board of Directors.

The chairs of all standing commit-tees shall also be members of the Management Committee. A substitute State Director from a region shall be designated by the Regional Chair to attend and vote at any meeting of the Management Committee that a Regional Chair cannot attend. The President of the Association shall be an ex officio member of the Management Committee without the right to vote. The Management Committee shall meet at the call of the Chair or President or at the request of five members of the Committee.
