other entity, then such Owners shall designate the person authorized to act on
behalf of the Owners with respect to attendance at meetings, exercise of the
right to vote and the exercise of other similar rights with respect to
membership in the Association. å 3.5 Subject to the rights retained by the
Declarant under the Declaration, voting rights of the Members of the
Association shall be vested exclusively in Delegates appointed or elected on
behalf of each Community. Each Community shall be represented by three (3)
Delegates. Delegates shall be elected or appointed annually on behalf of each
Community. The procedure for election or designation of Delegates and the
removal thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Community Declaration.
With the exception of the Initial Delegates, each Delegate shall be an Owner of
his Unit within the Community he represents; provided, however, that in no
event shall any two or more co-owners of the same Unit both serve as Delegates
from the same Community concurrently. If a Delegate ceases to be an Owner of
his Unit within the Community he represents, he shall be deemed to have
resigned as a Delegate. å 3.6 The
Initial Delegates representing the Quail Hollow Community and the Initial
Delegates representing the Unit I Community shall be the persons so appointed
by the Declarant. The Initial Delegates representing the Unit II Community
shall be the persons so appointed by the Declarant, or otherwise appointed or
elected as provided in the Unit II Community Declaration. å 3.7 The
Board of Directors of the Quail Hollow Village Association shall, on or before
December 31 of each year commencing with the year following appointment of the
Initial Delegates, appoint three (3) persons to serve as Delegates representing
the Quail Hollow Community, as provided in Section 6.6 of the Declaration. Upon
such appointment, the Board of Directors of the Quail Hollow Village
Association shall provide written notice to the Board of the names and
addresses of the persons appointed to serve as Delegates representing the Quail
Hollow Community. å 3.8 The Board shall call and conduct annually a
meeting of the Owners of record within each Community, where no Community
Association has been formed, for the purpose of election of three (3) persons
to serve as Delegates representing such Community. The election shall be held
by written ballot and proxy voting shall be authorized. å A slate of nominees shall be made by the Delegates representing such
Community for the current year and transmitted to the Board; notice thereof
shall be provided by the Board to all Owners within such Community at least
sixty (60) days prior to the annual meeting. Additional nominations may be made
by three or more Owners within such Community, by a written notice filed with
the Board at least thirty (30) days prior to the Annual Meeting. The election
of Delegates to represent the Unit I Community shall be held on or before
December 31 of each year commencing with the year following appointment of the
Initial Delegates by the Declarant. The appointment or election of Delegates to
represent the Unit II Community shall be held as provided in the Unit II
Community Declaration, or in the absence of any such provision as provided
herein. å 3.9 Election of the Delegates to represent a
Community, where no Community Association has been formed, shall be as provided
in the applicable Community Declaration. Unless otherwise provided therein, the
Board shall conduct the election by mailed ballot prior to the annual meeting
of the Owners within the Community, and shall determine the manner in which
votes are to be cast as follows: (a) Each Owner shall be entitled to one vote
for each Unit owned. For any Unit within the Community that is owned by more than one person,
or is owned by a corporation or other legal entity, the person authorized to
cast the vote for such Unit shall be designated in a certificate executed by
all of the recorded Owners of such Unit or executed on behalf of the
corporation or other legal entity and filed with the Secretary of the
Association, in which event such person shall be the "voting member".
If such a certificate is not on file with the Secretary of the Association for
a Unit owned by more than one person or by a corporation or other legal entity,
the vote of the Unit concerned shall not be considered in determining the
requirement for a quorum or for any purpose requiring the approval of a person
entitled to cast a vote, unless said Unit is owned by a husband and wife. Any
such certificate shall be valid until revoked or until superseded by subsequent
certificate or until a change in the ownership of the Unit. If a Unit is owned
jointly by a husband and wife, the following provisions shall apply: (i) They may, but shall not be required to, designate a voting
member; (ii) If they do not designate a voting member, and if both are
present at a meeting and are unable to concur in a decision upon any subject
requiring a vote, they shall lose their right to vote on that subject at that
meeting; or (iii) Where they do not designate
a voting member and only one is present at a meeting, the person present may
cast a vote, as though he or she were the sole owner of said Unit and without
establishing the concurrence of the absent spouse. å 3.10 A quorum
at either a special meeting or the annual meeting where no Community
Association has been formed, shall be the Owners of Units within the Community
or authorized representatives thereof holding at least 20% of the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting by person or by proxy. The vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast at any meeting (those present by
proxy or in person) at which a quorum is present, shall be necessary for the
adoption of any matter voted upon by such Owners, unless a greater proportion
is required hereby, by the Declaration or by law. å 3.11 Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Declarant shall be entitled, at
any special or annual meeting of any Owners of Units within any Community, to
cast a vote for each Unit owned by the Declarant. MEETINGS OF THE
