ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
Votes of Board of Directors
Creating Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
VOTED: That pursuant to authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors
of the Corporation by Article 4 of the Articles of Organization of the
Corporation, as amended, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the
issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, of
the Corporation, consisting of 10,000 shares and designated as "Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock" of the Corporation; and
FURTHER
VOTED: That the relative rights, preferences, powers, qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Stock") authorized to
be issued pursuant to the foregoing vote shall be as follows:
1. Dividends. In each fiscal year of the Corporation the
holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive,
before any cash dividends shall be declared and paid upon or set aside
for the Common stock in such fiscal year, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of funds legally available
for that purpose, dividends payable in cash in an amount per share for
such fiscal year at least equal to the per share amount, if any, of
any cash dividend for the Common Stock during such fiscal year. All
dividends declared upon Series A Stock shall be declared pro rata per
share.
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders
of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding shall, unless they elect
to convert their Series A Stock into Common Stock as set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether
from capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made to
the holders of any stock ranking on liquidation junior
2A
16
to the Series A Stock (with respect to rights on liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the Series A Stock shall rank prior to the
Common Stock) an amount equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per
share. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation the assets of the Corporation available for the
distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the
holders of shares of Series A Stock the full amounts to which they
respectively shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A
Stock and any class of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with
the Series A Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets
according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect
of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts
payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. The
merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another
corporation, the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into
or with the Corporation, or the sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or
lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall
not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.
3. Voting. The shares of Series A Stock shall have no voting
rights or power and the holders of such shares shall not be entitled
to vote such shares upon or in respect of any matter submitted to
stockholders for vote or action, except (a) as otherwise required by
law and (b) that the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the shares of
outstanding Series A Stock shall be required to authorize any issuance
of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock
by the Corporation in a transaction or series of related transactions
designed to increase the Corporation's equity ownership in an entity
(or the assets of an entity) in which the Corporation's initial
investment was funded with the proceeds of the sale of shares of
Series A Stock and such issuance increases the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock on a fully converted basis (treating as
outstanding for this purpose all common stock equivalents determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) by two
percent (2%) or more. If any matter is to be submitted to the vote or
consent of the holders of Series A Stock pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 3, the
2B
17
Corporation shall provide such holders with not less than ten (10)
days' prior written notice thereof and each share of Series A Stock
shall be entitled to one vote (in person or by proxy) with respect to
such matter, voting in the manner provided for in the By-laws of the
Corporation.
4. Conversion.
(a) Shares of Series A Stock may be converted, at the
option of the holder thereof, in the manner hereinafter provided, into
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation, at any time during the one-year period (the "Conversion
Period") commencing (i) on the day ("Conversion Date") which is five
(5) years from the date of issue of such shares of Series A Stock by
the Corporation ("Issue Date") and ending (ii) on the day ("Expiration
Date") which is six (6) years from the Issue Date of such shares of
Series A Stock. If any holder of such shares does not elect to
convert such shares at any time during the Conversion Period, such
shares shall automatically, without any action on the part of the
holder thereof, be converted into shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation on the Expiration Date for such shares of Series A Stock.
The Series A Stock shall be converted into Common Stock of the
Corporation during the Conversion Period, whether such conversion is
voluntary or involuntary, by the Corporation's issuance of that number
of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be $2,000 and the denominator shall be the greater
of (x) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the
Conversion Date or (y) one and one-half (1-1/2) times the book value
per share of Common Stock, as such book value per share is shown on
the balance sheet of the Corporation as of the end of the fiscal
quarter immediately preceding the Conversion Date. For the purpose
hereof, "fair market value per share" shall mean the average closing
price per share of the Common stock of the Corporation on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the sixty (60) day period ending ten
(10) days prior to the Conversion Date; provided, however, that if the
Common Stock of the Corporation is not then listed on the New York
Stock Exchange such fair
2C
18
market value shall be the average of the mean between the closing bid
and asked prices of the Common Stock of the Corporation for such
60-day period in the over-the-counter market or, if such shares are
not then traded in the over-the-counter market or any other national
securities exchange, such fair market value shall be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(b) In case of any consolidation of the corporation with,
or merger of the Corporation into, another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing
corporation) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, which shall occur while any shares of
Series A Stock are outstanding, each share of Series A Stock shall
automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof,
be converted into Common Stock, immediately prior to or
contemporaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
and the holders of Series A Stock shall thereafter be entitled to
receive, together with all other holders of Common Stock, the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by the holders of
Common Stock. The conversion of Series A Stock for purposes of this
paragraph (b) shall be effected by the Corporation's issuance of that
number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number
of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of (x)
$16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number of months (but not in excess
of sixty (60) months in the aggregate) which elapse during the period
commencing with the Issue Date and ending as of the end of the month
immediately preceding the date of such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, and the denominator shall be the average closing price per
share of the Common Stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Tape for the sixty (60) day period ending thirty
(30) days prior to the date that the Corporation shall have first
publicly announced the proposed consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance; provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the
2D
19
Corporation is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such
per share price shall be determined, on the basis of such 60-day
period, as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof.
(c) In case any person shall make a tender offer to
purchase at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation ("Tender Offer") at any time
while Series A Stock is outstanding, each holder of shares of Series A
Stock shall have the right, at his election, to convert such shares
into Common Stock of the Corporation during the period commencing with
the first public announcement of the Tender Offer ("Offer Date") and
ending on the date of expiration of the Tender Offer. If any holder
elects to so convert his Series A Stock pursuant to this paragraph
(c), the conversion shall be effected by the Corporation's issuance of
that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of
(x) $16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number of months (but not in
excess of sixty (60) months in the aggregate) which elapse during the
period commencing with the Issue Date and ending as of the end of the
month immediately preceding the Offer Date, and the denominator shall
be the average closing price per share of the Common Stock of the
Corporation on the new York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the
sixty (60) day period ending thirty (30) days prior to the Offer Date;
provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the Corporation is not
then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such per share price shall
be determined, on the basis of such 60-day period, as set forth in
Section 4(a) hereof.
(d) In case of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation ("liquidation"), whether voluntary or involuntary,
in lieu of the right to receive the payments specified in Section 2
hereof, the holders of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding shall
have the right to convert the Series A Stock into Common Stock, up to
and until the close of business on the full business day next
preceding the date fixed for the liquidation of the Corporation, the
conversion thereof to be effected by the Corporation's issuance of
2E
20
that number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Series A Stock then being
converted by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of
$1,000 plus the product of (x) $16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number
of months (but not in excess of 60 months in the aggregate) which
elapse during the period commencing with the Issue Date and ending as
of the end of the month immediately preceding the date of such
liquidation, and the denominator shall be the amount (or value if
other than cash) per share of Common Stock to be distributed to the
holders of Common Stock in liquidation of the Corporation.
(e) The Corporation shall not issue fractions of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Stock or scrip in lieu
thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for
the provisions of this paragraph (e), be issuable upon conversion of
Series A Stock, the Corporation shall in lieu thereof pay to the
person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value
of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000) of
a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any
national securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of
the Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if
there shall have been no sales) on the Conversion Date (or Merger
Date, Offer Date or date of liquidation, as the case may be), or (ii)
if the Common Stock shall not be so listed, on the basis of the mean
between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the
Conversion Date (or Merger Date, Offer Date or date of liquidation, as
the case may be) as reported by NASDAQ, or its successor, and if there
are no such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis of the fair
market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
(f) In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
holder of any Series A Stock to be converted shall surrender his or
its certificate or certificates therefor to the principal office of
the transfer agent for the Series A Stock (or if no transfer agent be
at the time appointed, then to the Corporation at its principal
office), and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such
office that the holder elects
2F
21
to convert the Series A Stock represented by such certificates. Such
notice shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be
issuable on such conversion shall be issued. As soon as practicable
after receipt of such notice and the surrender of the certificate or
certificates for Series A Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall
cause to be issued and delivered at such office to such holder, or on
his or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number
of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in
accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in
paragraph (e) hereof in respect of any fraction of a share of Common
Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.
(g) On the date that any conversion takes effect hereunder,
all shares of Series A Stock then to be converted shall cease to have
any rights with respect to such stock, and the sole rights of the
holders of such stock shall be with respect to the Common Stock into
which such shares have been so converted. Each holder of an
outstanding certificate of Series A Stock which, prior to conversion
represented shares of Series A Stock, shall be entitled to receive
therefor, on and after the date that any such conversion takes effect,
a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such shares shall have been converted, upon
surrender of such certificate or certificates to such agent or agents
as may be appointed by the Corporation. If so required by the
Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered
holder or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. All
certificates evidencing shares of Series A Stock which are required to
be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be
surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the
shares of Series A Stock represented thereby converted into Common
Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the owner or
owners thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to said
date.

(h) In case:
(i) of any consolidation or merger to which the
Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of
the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or
(ii) of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at the office of the
transfer agent of the Series A Stock and shall cause to be mailed to
the holders of the Series A Stock, at their last addresses as they
shall appear upon the record of such transfer agent at least twenty
(20) days before the date specified herein below, a notice stating the
date on which such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(i) The Corporation shall use its best efforts, at all
times when the Series A Stock shall be outstanding, to reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Stock, such number
of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series
A Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the conversion price below the then par value of the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Stock, the
Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion
of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly
and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common
Stock at such adjusted conversion price.
2H
23
(j) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment shall be made
for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Stock surrendered for
conversion or on the Common Stock delivered.
(k) All shares of Series A Stock which shall have been
surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares,
including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall
forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holders
thereof to receive Common Stock in exchange therefor. Any shares of
Series A Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall
not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such
appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series
Stock accordingly.
5. Definitions. The term "Common Stock" shall be deemed to
refer to the Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share, authorized by
the Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended and in
effect on the date hereof, and to any additional share of stock of any
class of the Corporation other than preferred stock with a fixed limit
on dividends and a fixed amount payable in the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.
FURTHER
VOTED: That the President or any Vice Present and the Clerk or an Assistant
Clerk be and hereby are authorized to execute, on behalf of the

FURTHER
VOTED: That Article 6 of the Articles of Organization of the Corporation
shall be amended by deleting in its entirety the current Article 6A,
and by substituting new Article 6A therefor, to read as follows:
6A. INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Actions, Suits and Proceedings. Except as otherwise
provided below, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent
authorized by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as the
same exists or may hereafter be amended (in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment either (i) permits
the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such
laws permitted prior to such amendment or (ii) prohibits or limits any
of the indemnification rights previously set forth in such laws),
indemnify each person who is, or shall have been, a director or
officer of the Corporation or who is or was a director or employee of
the Corporation and is serving, or shall have served, at the request
of the Corporation, as a director or officer of another organization
or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of the
Corporation, against all liabilities and expenses (including
judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement,
and
A-1
79
reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed upon or incurred by any such
person (the "Indemnitee") in connection with, or arising out of, the
defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding,
whether civil or criminal, in which he may be a defendant or with
which he may be threatened or otherwise involved, directly or
indirectly, by reason of his being or having been such a director or
officer or as a result of his serving or having served with respect to
any such employee benefit plan; provided, however, that the
Corporation shall provide no indemnification with respect to any
matter as to which any such Indemnitee shall be finally adjudicated in
such action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was (i) in the best interests of the
Corporation or (ii) to the extent such matter relates to service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.
Section 2. Settlements. The right to indemnification conferred
in this Article shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation
for liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with the
settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or proceeding,
pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless a determination is
made, within 45 days after receipt by the Corporation of a written
request by the Indemnitee for indemnification, that such settlement or
compromise is not in the best interests of the Corporation or, to the
extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee
benefit plan, that such settlement or compromise is not in the best
interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such plan. Any such
determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested
directors, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of
the disinterested directors of the Corporation then in office.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are less than two
disinterested directors then in office, the Board of Directors shall
promptly direct that independent legal counsel (who may be regular
legal counsel to the Corporation) determine, based on facts known to
such counsel at such time, whether such Indemnitee acted in good faith
in the reasonable belief
A-2
80
that his action was in the best interests of the Corporation or the
participants or beneficiaries of any such employee benefit plan, as
the case may be; and, in such event, indemnification shall be made to
such Indemnitee unless, within 45 days after receipt by the
Corporation of the request by such Indemnitee for indemnification,
such independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Corporation
determines that such Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the
Corporation or the participants or beneficiaries of any such employee
benefit plan, as the case may be.
Section 3. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition
precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must give to
the Corporation notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
action, suit or proceeding involving him for which indemnity will or
could be sought. With respect to any action, suit or proceeding of
which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled
to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense
thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable
to such Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the
Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation
shall not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such
claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice
from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be
at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel
by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel
to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the
Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such
action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases,
the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the
expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by
this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the
defense of any claim brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as
to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the
conclusion provided for in (ii) above.
A-3
81
Section 4. Advance of Expenses. Subject to Section 3 above,
the right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall include
the right to be paid by the Corporation for expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition,
subject to receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay such
payment if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Article. Such undertaking may
be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such
Indemnitee to make such repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
advance shall be made by the Corporation under this Section 4 if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of
Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested
directors or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Corporation then in office or, if there
are not at least two disinterested directors then in office, by
independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the
Corporation) in a written opinion that, based on facts known to the
Board or counsel at such time, such Indemnitee did not act in good
faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interests of the Corporation or the participants or beneficiaries of
an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, as the case may be.
Section 5. Partial Indemnity. If an Indemnitee is entitled
under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the
Corporation for some or a portion of the liabilities or expenses
imposed upon or incurred by such indemnitee in the investigation,
defense, appeal or settlement of any action, suit or proceeding but
not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such
liabilities or expenses to which such Indemnitee is entitled.
Section 6. Rights Not Exclusive. The right to
indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending any
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition
conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Articles of Organization, By-Laws, agreement,
A-4
82
vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Corporation, acting through its Board
of Directors, may enter into agreements with any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation providing for indemnification
rights equivalent to or greater than the indemnification rights set
forth in this Article.
Section 7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another
organization or employee benefit plan against any expense or liability
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of the status as
such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such expense or liability under Chapter 156B of
the Massachusetts General Laws.
Section 8. Insurance Offset. The Corporation's obligation
to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the
extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise
applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the
Corporation or any other person.
Section 9. Amendment. Without the consent of a person
entitled to the indemnification and other rights provided in this
Article (unless otherwise required by Chapter 156B of the
Massachusetts General Laws), no amendment modifying or terminating
such rights shall adversely affect such person's rights under this
Article with respect to the period prior to such Amendment.
Section 10. Mergers, Etc. If the Corporation is merged into
or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not
the surviving corporation, or if substantially all of the assets of
the Corporation are acquired by any other corporation, or in the event
of any other similar reorganization involving the Corporation, the
Board of Directors of the Corporation or the board of directors of any
corporation assuming the obligations of the Corporation shall assume
the obligations of the Corporation under this Article, through the
date of such merger, consolidation, sale or
A-5
83
reorganization, with respect to each person who is entitled to
indemnification rights under this Article as of such date.
Section 11. Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each
Indemnitee as to any liabilities and expenses with respect to any
action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by any
applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been
invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 12. Definitions. As used in this Article, the term
"director", "officer" and "person" include their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, and legal representatives, and an
"interested" director is one against whom in such capacity the
proceedings in question or another proceeding on the same or similar
grounds is then pending.
FURTHER
VOTED: That Article 6 of the Articles of Organization of the Corporation
shall be amended by adding new Article 6D, to read as follows:
6D. LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 156B of the
Massachusetts General Laws, as it may be amended from time to time, a
director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law
imposing such liability.

amendment are filed in accordance with Chapter 156B, Section 6 of The General

amendment, a later effective date not more than thirty days after such filing,
in which event the amendment will become effective on such later date.
