Explanation of bylaw amendment:
Paragraph 1 Authorizes placing all Lakeshore’s
undeveloped land parcels, excepting the ball field, in permanent conservation
easements.

Restricted
Restriction Upon
Use of Capital Contributions. The
Lakeshore Company shall not utilize the capital contributions to the Reserve
Account for general operating expenses.
The capital contributions, or portions thereof, may be used only for
improving or maintaining existing infrastructure. By way of example, capital contributions may
be used for the replacement of roads and related improvements; replacements and
capital improvements to existing common facilities such as any common
buildings, the water system; dredging; and dam repairs. The foregoing
expenditures would be included in the annual budget and must be approved by a
majority vote at the annual meeting or any other meeting of the Lakeshore
stockholders where a quorum is present.. Use of Reserve Account
funds for any other purposes must be approved by two thirds of the shareholders at a meeting
where a quorum is present. The forgoing approval procedures in this section
will take the place of any other procedures for approval listed elsewhere in
these bylaws.
Oversight of Capital Contributions Account. To assure compliance with the
restrictions and intent set forth in this Amendment, Reserve Accounts shall be
maintained in a separate reserve account or accounts and such account(s) shall
be clearly named and identified as restricted capital contributions. The Board shall determine which expenditures
should be made based on the approvals described in the foregoing paragraph. The
Lakeshore Company shall establish a committee to be comprised of three
shareholders of the Lakeshore Company who are not board members. Such committee shall be responsible for
reviewing the Account and Account information and reporting to the Lakeshore
Company and its shareholders at least annually regarding the status of the
Account and any additions or deletions to the balance(s). To minimize the risk of loss of principal,
the capital Account shall be invested in federally insured account(s) or
instruments, including United States Treasuries (notes or bonds). Therefore, capital contributions shall not be
invested in equities (stock). The Board shall make the decisions on how these
funds should be invested subject to the foregoing restrictions.
