Except as otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation, any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and the person appointed thereto shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until such director’s successor is elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
