The number of directors may be increased or decreased only by the affirmative vote of (a) the holders of at least 85% of the shares of the corporation then entitled to be voting on such change or (b) two-thirds of the directors then in office. Directors need not be shareholders. Section 2.9 "Mandatory Retirement of Directors" was added under Article II "Board of Directors."
