Section 2. Board Composition.

Section 2.1. Classified Board. Subject to Section 2.2 of this Article IX, the Board shall be divided into three classes: Class I Directors, Class II Directors and Class III Directors. Each such class of directors shall be nearly equal in number of directors as possible. Each director shall serve for a term ending at the third annual shareholders’ meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first elected as Class I Directors shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the year following the first election of directors by classes, the directors first elected as Class II Directors shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the second year following the first election of directors by classes and the directors first elected as Class III directors shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the third year following the first election of directors by classes.

Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, upon any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such will nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member, until the expiration of his or her current term or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 2.2. Declassified Board. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2 of this Article IX to the contrary, beginning at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, directors will be elected annually for one-year terms, except that any director whose term expires at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will continue to hold office until the end of the term for which that Director was elected or appointed and until
