Each successor Director shall be elected by a majority of the then serving Directors immediately prior to such successor Director's election. The Board may establish the requirements for Directors, including for emeritus or lifetime directors, and policies regarding the composition of the Board of Directors, including staggered terms, so long as those requirements and policies are not inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Notwithstanding the terms limit in the previous sentence, any Director serving at the time this provision is added to the Code of By-Laws (which was October 18, 2002) may serve the remainder of his or her current term and up to three (3) additional one-year terms, if he or she is nominated, elected and qualified. |
