(ii) Quorum for Valid Action on Other Matters. In the case of a membership meeting or written ballot called or conducted for any other purpose, the quorum shall be fifty percent (50%) of the Members eligible to vote and represented in person or by proxy, provided that if any regular membership meeting is actually attended, in person or by proxy, by less than one-third of the voting power of the Members (but a quorum is present) the only matters upon which action may validly be taken are those matters the general nature of which was described in the notice of the meeting.

(b) Members Represented by Proxy. Members present at a membership meeting in person or by proxy shall be counted toward satisfaction of the quorum requirements specified herein.

(c) Effect of Departure of Members From Meeting. The Members present in person or by proxy at a duly called or duly held meeting- at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, so long as any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the Members required to constitute a quorum. If a quorum is never established for the meeting, a majority of those Members who are present in person or by proxy may vote to adjourn the meeting for lack of a quorum, but no other action may be taken or business transacted.

(b) Notice Requirements for Adjourned Meetings. When a Members' meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the new meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

Section 7. Waiver of Notice or Consent by Absent Members.

(a) Waivers and Consents Generally. If decisions are made or an action is otherwise taken by the Members at a meeting where a quorum is present, but for which proper notice was not given to all Members for whatever reason, the decisions or actions made at that meeting will be valid if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote who was not present at the meeting in person or by proxy consents to the meeting by signing (i) a written waiver of notice, (ii) a consent to holding the meeting, or (iii) an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify the purpose or general nature of business-to-be transacted at such meeting unless action was taken or is proposed to be taken at the meeting with respect to any matters specified in article V, section 4(d), in which case, the waiver of notice or consent must state the general nature of such matter(s). All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the Association records or be made part of the minutes of the meeting.

(b) Effect of a Member's Attendance at a Meeting. Attendance by a Member or his or her proxy holder at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of any objections such person may have with respect to notice of that meeting, except when the Member or proxy holder attends the meeting for the sole purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because of the inadequacy or illegality of the notice. Attendance at -a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting that are required to be described therein pursuant to article V, section 4(d), if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

Section B. Record Dates for Member Notice; Voting and Giving Consents.
