BYLAWS

OF

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, INC.

(Effective as of May 15, 2025)

ARTICLE I

SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.1.      Annual Meetings. Simon Property Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”) shall hold an annual meeting of its shareholders to elect directors and transact any other business within its powers, at such place, on such date, and at such time as shall be set by the Board of Directors. Except as the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), these Bylaws, or statute provides otherwise, any business may be considered at an annual meeting without the purpose of the meeting having been specified in the notice. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Corporation’s existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

Section 1.2.      Special Meetings. At any time in the interval between annual meetings, a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting or in writing (addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation) with or without a meeting.

Section 1.3.      Place and Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place in the United States, within or without the State of Indiana, as is set from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that any such meeting shall, in addition to or instead of a physical meeting, be held by means of remote communication (including virtually). The Board of Directors may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of the shareholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with these Bylaws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of the meeting of shareholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting (whether or not a quorum is present), to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures, to decide questions relating to the conduct of the meeting, and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations, or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting of shareholders, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to shareholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies, or such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; and (vi) restrictions on the use of cell phones, audio, or video recording devices, and similar devices at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting of shareholders, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure or any other rules of procedure or conduct.

Section 1.4.      Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Not less than ten nor more than sixty (60) days before each shareholders meeting, the Secretary shall give written notice of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and each other shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting, if any, the means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, if the meeting is a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice is given to a shareholder when it is personally delivered to the shareholder, left at the shareholder’s residence or usual place of business, or mailed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a shareholder or his, her, or its proxy may at any time waive notice of a meeting if the waiver is in writing and is delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the Corporation’s records. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting, whether in person or by proxy, (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder or his, her, or its proxy at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder or his, her, or its proxy objects to considering the matter when it is presented. Each shareholder who has, in the manner above provided, waived notice or objection to notice of a shareholders’ meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have been given due notice of such meeting, including the purpose or purposes thereof.

Section 1.5.      Quorum; Voting. Unless any statute or the Articles of Incorporation provides otherwise, at a meeting of shareholders the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes a quorum, and the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes before the meeting, except that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director under those circumstances described in Section 2.2 of these Bylaws.

Section 1.6.      Adjournments. Whether or not a quorum is present, a meeting of shareholders convened on the date for which it was called may be adjourned from time to time by a majority vote of the shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote without notice other than by announcement at the meeting. Any business which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified may be deferred and transacted at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present.

Section 1.7.      General Right to Vote; Proxies. Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. In all elections for directors, each share of stock entitled to vote may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A shareholder may vote his, her, or its shares either in person or by proxy. A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder (including authorizing the proxy to receive, or to waive, notice of any shareholders’ meeting within the effective period of such proxy) by signing an appointment form, either personally or by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact. The shareholder also may transmit, or authorize the transmission of, an electronic submission to the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm, or a proxy support service organization or similar agency authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the electronic submission.  Such electronic submission shall be accompanied by or contain information from which it can be determined that the electronic submission was transmitted or authorized by the shareholder. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes and is effective for 11 months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. The proxy’s authority may be limited to a particular meeting or may be general and authorize the proxy to represent the shareholder at any meeting of shareholders held within the time provided in the appointment form. Subject to the Indiana Business Corporation Law, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “IBCL”), and to any express limitation on the proxy’s authority appearing on the face of the appointment form, the Corporation is entitled to accept the proxy’s vote or other action as that of the shareholder making the appointment. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use of the Board of Directors.

Section 1.8.      Shareholders List. After the record date for, and more than five (5) business days before, each shareholders’ meeting, the Secretary of the Corporation shall make, or cause to be made, an alphabetical list of the names of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group (and within each voting group by class or series of shares) and showing the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder.  The list shall be available for inspection and copying to the extent provided in the IBCL.

Section 1.9.      Business of Shareholders’ Meetings. At each annual meeting, the shareholders shall conduct only such business as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. The proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders at an annual meeting may be made only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.4 of these Bylaws, (b) by, or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) by any shareholder of the Corporation who gives notice in accordance with notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.9 on a timely basis and who is entitled to vote at the meeting.

To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be in writing and delivered to or mailed to the Secretary of the Corporation and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the previous year’s meeting, to be timely, notice by the shareholder must be received not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the later of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of such annual meeting or ten (10) calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to any business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) any material interest that such shareholder and any Shareholder Associated Person (as defined below) has in such business, and (iii) if the proposal or business is to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, the text of the proposal or business (including the language of any proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws); (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice and each Shareholder Associated Person of such shareholder, (i) the name and address of such shareholder and any Shareholder Associated Person, (ii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and any Shareholder Associated Person as of the date such notice is given, (iii) any derivative positions held or beneficially held by the shareholder and any Shareholder Associated Person and whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement, or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss or to manage risk of stock price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such shareholder or any Shareholder Associated Person with respect to the shares of stock of the Corporation, and (iv) a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business; and (c) if the shareholder or any Shareholder Associated Person intends, or is part of a group that intends, to solicit proxies in support of such proposal, a representation to that effect.

For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Sections 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). “Shareholder Associated Person” of any shareholder means (i) any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such shareholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such shareholder, and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a Shareholder Associated Person as defined in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a shareholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with the respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.9.

Section 1.10.      Notice of Shareholder Nominations. This Section 1.10 sets forth certain procedures required for shareholders to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting if the shareholder does not wish the nomination to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement.  Any Eligible Shareholder (as defined in Section 1.11 of these Bylaws) who wishes to include nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders must comply with Section 1.11 of these Bylaws.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

(D)            the number of incumbent directors who had been Shareholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings of shareholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors.

In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Nominating Shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.11 exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 1.11 from each Nominating Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the shares that each Nominating Shareholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Nomination Notice submitted to the Corporation. This selection process will continue with the next highest ranking nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached.

(d)            Eligible Shareholders.

(1)            An Eligible Shareholder or Nominator Group may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 1.11 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously Owned at least the Minimum Percentage (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, or similar events) of shares throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to Own at least the Minimum Percentage of shares through the date of the annual meeting.

Should any shareholder withdraw from a Nominator Group at any time prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, the Nominator Group shall only be deemed to Own the shares held by the remaining members of that Nominator Group.  No shareholder shall be permitted to be in more than one Nominator Group.

(e)            Timely Nomination Notice.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Nomination Notice.

(f)            Nomination Notice. The Nomination Notice shall consist of, collectively, the following information, documents and agreements which shall, for avoidance of doubt, be compiled, completed, and submitted by the Nominating Shareholder or its representatives at its own cost:

14

(E)            the Shareholder Nominee was nominated for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 1.11 at one of the Corporation’s two preceding annual meetings of shareholders and either withdrew from or became ineligible or unavailable for election at such annual meeting or received a vote of less than 20% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote for such Shareholder Nominee;

ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 2.1.      Function of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors. All powers of the Corporation may be exercised by or under authority of the Board of Directors, except as conferred on or reserved to the shareholders by the IBCL, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.

Section 2.2.      Number and Election of Directors and Term of Office. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors, but shall in no event exceed the maximum number of Directors provided in the Articles of Incorporation. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class of stock to elect any directors voting separately as a class or series, at each annual meeting of shareholders, the directors to be elected at the meeting shall be chosen by the majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election at the meeting, provided a quorum is present; provided, however, that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote, provided a quorum is present. For purposes of this Section 2.2, a “majority of votes cast” shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election. If a nominee fails to receive the required vote and is an incumbent director, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors, subject to acceptance by the Board of Directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the SEC or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Governance and Nominating Committee in making its recommendation and the Board of Directors in making its decision may each consider any factors or other information that they consider appropriate and relevant. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation. If an incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, or if a nominee fails to receive the required vote and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Articles of Incorporation or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2.

17

The election of directors by the shareholders shall be by written ballot if directed by the chairman of the meeting or if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected.

If the holders of preferred stock are entitled to elect any directors voting separately as a class or series, those directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of preferred stock entitled to vote in the election at the meeting, provided a quorum of the holders of shares of preferred stock is present.

Section 2.3.      Removal of Director. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and the IBCL.

Section 2.4.      Vacancy on Board. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class of preferred stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled by a vote of the shareholders or a majority of the directors in office on the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or other cause, and any vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from any cause among the directors entitled to be elected by the holders of the Class B Common Stock, shall be filled in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 2.5.      Regular Meetings. After each meeting of shareholders at which directors shall have been elected, the Board of Directors shall meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other business. In the event that no other time and place are specified by resolution of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chairman of the Board, with notice in accordance with Section 2.7 of these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall meet immediately following the close of such shareholders’ meeting. Any other regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.6.      Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, or the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting, or in writing with or without a meeting. A special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. In the absence of designation such meeting shall be held at such place as may be designated in the call.

Section 2.7.      Notice of Meeting. Except as provided in Section 2.5 of these Bylaws, the Secretary shall give notice to each director of each regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting. Notice is given to a director when it is delivered personally to the director, left at the director’s residence or usual place of business, or sent by telegraph, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or telephone, at least 24 hours before the time of the meeting or, in the alternative by mail to the director’s address as it shall appear on the records of the Corporation, at least 72 hours before the time of the meeting. Unless the Bylaws or a resolution of the Board of Directors provides otherwise, the notice need not state the business to be transacted at or the purposes of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be given to any director who attends except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or to any director who, in writing executed and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and no notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting other than by announcement.

18

Section 2.8.      Action by Directors. Unless the IBCL, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws requires a greater proportion, the action of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board of Directors. A majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the directors present by majority vote and without notice other than by announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written consent which sets forth the action is signed by each member of the Board and filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board.

Section 2.9.      Participation Other Than in Person. The Board of Directors may permit any or all directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or through the use of, any means of communication, such as video conference applications or conference telephone, by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

Section 2.10.      Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or of committees thereof, and other compensation for their services as such or on committees of the Board of Directors, may be paid to directors. Directors who are employees of the Corporation need not be paid for attendance at meetings of the board or committees thereof for which fees are paid to other directors. A director who serves the Corporation in any other capacity also may receive compensation for such other services, pursuant to a resolution of the directors.

Section 2.11.      Advisory Directors. The Board of Directors may by resolution appoint advisory directors to the Board, who may also serve as directors emeriti, and shall have such authority and receive such compensation and reimbursement as the Board of Directors shall provide. Advisory directors or directors emeriti shall not have the authority to participate by vote in the transaction of business.

Section 2.12.      Surety Bonds. Unless required by law, no director shall be obligated to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of any of his or her duties.

DIVISIONAL TITLES

STOCK

Notwithstanding the above, the issuance of uncertificated shares shall not affect shares already represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.

The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates of stock or uncertificated shares; and may appoint transfer agents and registrars thereof.

Section 6.3.      Record Dates. The Board of Directors may set a record date for the purpose of making any proper determination with respect to shareholders, including which shareholders are entitled to notice of a meeting, vote at a meeting, receive a dividend, or be allotted other rights.

The original or a duplicate of the stock ledger shall be kept at the offices of a transfer agent for the particular class of stock, or, if none, at the principal office in the State of Indiana or the principal executive offices of the Corporation.

Section 6.5.      Lost Stock Certificates. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine the conditions for issuing a new stock certificate or uncertificated share in place of a stock certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, or the Board of Directors may delegate such power to any officer or officers of the Corporation. In their discretion, the Board of Directors or such officer or officers may refuse to issue such new certificate or uncertificated share save upon the order of some court having jurisdiction in the premises.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise prescribed by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws with respect to certificates for shares, the Board of Directors may authorize any officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1.      Procedure. Any indemnification, or payment of expenses, for which mandatory payments must be made under the Articles of Incorporation, in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding, shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days, upon the written request of the director or officer entitled to seek indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”). The right to indemnification and advances hereunder shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, if (i) the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition thereof is made within sixty (60) days. The Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be reimbursed by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any action for advance for expenses that (a) a determination has been made that the facts then known to those making the determination would preclude indemnification, or (b) the Corporation has not received both (i) an undertaking as required by law or the Articles of Incorporation to repay such advances in the event it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met, and (ii) a written affirmation by the Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Corporation has been met.

Section 8.2.      Exclusivity, Etc. The indemnification and advance of expenses provided by the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advance of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or other provision that is consistent with law, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the Corporation, shall continue in respect of all events occurring while a person was a director or officer after such person has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification and advance of expenses under the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation and hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer of the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this Bylaw is in effect. Nothing herein shall prevent the amendment of this Bylaw, provided that no such amendment shall diminish the rights of any person hereunder with respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption or as to claims made after its adoption in respect of events occurring before its adoption. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification or advance of expenses of such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to events occurring, or claims made, while this Bylaw or any provision hereof is in force.

25

Section 8.3.      Severability; Definitions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Article VIII shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The phrase “this Bylaw” in this Article VIII means this Article VIII in its entirety.

ARTICLE IX
