If at any time the Code shall have been amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of each director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as so amended, without further action by the shareholders, unless the provisions of the Code, as amended, required further action by the shareholders.
