| Vacancies on the Board of Directors: |     | Under Huntington’s bylaws, shareholders may elect a successor to fill a vacancy on the board of directors that results from the retirement or removal of a director. Huntington’s bylaws also provide that that an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum of the board of directors, may fill a vacancy which results from any cause except an increase in the number of directors, and a majority of the board of directors may fill a vacancy which results from an increase in the number of directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies. 
 Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, at any time a vacancy is created from any cause except due to an increase in the number of directors, and such vacancy is not filled by the board of directors concurrently with its creation, the number of directors will automatically be decreased by one (1).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |     | Under Cadence’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, all vacancies, including vacancies resulting from newly created directorships due to an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the board of directors, provided that the board of directors may elect instead to (1) not fill the vacancy or (2) have the vacancy filled by vote of shareholders at any regular or special meeting of shareholders. A vacancy that will occur at a later date by reason of resignation or otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs. |
