The Board shall be composed of not less than 6 nor more than 15 Directors, the specific number to be set by resolution of the Board, provided that the Board may be less than 6 until vacancies are filled.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 5, Directors shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal from office or until there is a decrease in the number of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders of the corporation or residents of the State of Delaware and need not meet any other qualifications.
