Sections 6(b) and 6(c) of the Certificate of Incorporation are hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:
“(b) Prior to the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025 (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), the Board of Directors shall be divided into two classes, designated Class 1 and Class 2, and each class shall consist, as nearly equal in number as possible, of one-half of the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors. Directors with terms expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024 shall serve out the remainder of their current two-year terms, and they shall stand for re-election to a one-year term at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024; directors with terms expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting shall serve out the remainder of their current two-year terms, and they shall stand for re-election to a one-year term at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Until the 2025 Annual Meeting, no decrease in the size of the Board of Directors shall have the effect of removing or shortening the term of any incumbent director. Until the 2025 Annual Meeting, increases and decreases in the size of the Board of Directors will be distributed among the classes so as to render the classes as nearly equal in number as practicable. All directors of the Corporation elected at or after the 2025 Annual Meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders, with each such director to hold office until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her death, disability, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any director whose term expires at any annual meeting of shareholders prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting shall continue to hold office until the end of the term for which such director was elected, and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. Whenever the holders of Serial Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office providing for the issuance of shares of Serial Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a separate class, to elect directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other terms of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or such resolution or resolutions, as the case may be.
