3.1 The Restatement of Restated Articles of Incorporation of River Oaks, Inc. as set forth in full on Exhibit A annexed hereto, as duly approved by the Board of Directors and the Sole Shareholder of River Oaks, Inc., shall become effective on the effective date of this Agreement of Merger, and shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the surviving corporation, until changed as provided by law.
