EXHIBIT D

AMENDMENT TO RESTATED ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Restated Articles of Organization shall include the following Provision in Article 6:

f. Election of Directors

Until the division of Directors into classes is terminated as provided below, the Directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes: (Class I, Class II, and Class III). Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the whole number of the board of directors. At the 2008 Annual meeting of Stockholders, the Class I Directors shall be elected for terms expiring at the 2011 Annual meeting of Stockholders; at the 2009 Annual meeting of Stockholders, the Class II Directors shall be elected for terms expiring at the 2010 Annual meeting of Stockholders; at the 2010 Annual meeting of Stockholders, both the Class II and Class III Directors shall be elected for terms expiring at the 2011 Annual meeting of Stockholders; and at the 2011 Annual meeting of Stockholders and at each Annual meeting of Stockholders thereafter, all Directors shall be elected for terms expiring at the next Annual meeting of Stockholders (or, in each case above, until their successors shall be elected and qualified). From and after the 2011 Annual meeting of Stockholders, the Directors shall no longer be divided into classes. For so long as the Directors are divided into classes, if the number of Directors changes, any increase or decrease in Directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain all classes as equal in number as possible, and any additional Director elected to any class shall hold office for a term which shall coincide with the terms of the other Directors in such class and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
