(a)       The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed and may be altered from time to time in the manner provided in the by-laws of the Corporation (the “By-Laws”), and vacancies in the Board of Directors and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled, and directors may be removed, as provided in the By-Laws.

If the DGCL is amended, after approval by the stockholders of this Article, to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Article, or the adoption of any provision in this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article by the stockholders of the Corporation, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, modification, repeal or adoption.

Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Article, or the adoption of any provision in this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article by the stockholders of the Corporation, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation or any other person entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, modification, repeal or adoption.

 

Ninth: The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt, amend, alter, supplement, rescind or repeal any or all of the By-Laws without any action on the part of the stockholders; provided, however, that the stockholders may adopt, amend or repeal any By-Law adopted by the Board of Directors, and no amendment or supplement to the By-Laws adopted by the Board of Directors shall vary or conflict with any amendment or supplement adopted by the stockholders.
