    In subsection (a), the words ``are as provided in the constitution 
and bylaws of the corporation'' are substituted for ``shall . . . be 
determined as the constitution and bylaws of the corporation may 
provide'' for consistency in the revised title and to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b), the words ``the right to'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.
    In subsection (c), the words ``on termination of membership, whether 
by'' are substituted for ``either upon'' for clarity. The words ``in the 
event that'' and ``canceled or otherwise'' are omitted as unnecessary.
