NOTES and INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE 1: State the true exact corporate name as it appears on the records of the office of the Secretary of State, BEFORE any amendments herein reported.
NOTE 2: Incorporators are permitted to adopt amendments ONLY before any shares have been issued and before any directors have been named or elected. (§10.10)
NOTE 3: Directors may adopt amendments without shareholder approval in only six instances, as follows:
(a) to remove the names and addresses of directors named in the articles of incorporation; (b) to remove the name and address of the initial registered agent and registered office, provided a statement pursuant to §5.10 is also filed;
(c) to split the issued whole shares and unissued authorized shares by multiplying them by a whole number, so long as no class or series is adversely affected thereby;
(d) to change the corporate name by substituting the word “corporation”, “incorporated”, “company”, “limited”, or the abbreviation “corp.”, “inc.”, or “ltd.”, for a similar word or abbreviation in the name, or by adding a geographical attribution to the name;
(e) to reduce the authorized shares of any class pursuant to a cancellation statement filed in accordance with §9.05.
(Illegible)
(f) to restate the articles of incorporation as currently amended. (§10.15)

To be adopted, the amendment must receive the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 2/3 of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment (but if class voting applies, then also at least a 2/3 vote within each class is required).
