&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To change the required timing for notice of business to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders by a shareholder under Section 2.08 of the By-Laws from (i) not less than 70 days nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting (or, if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close business on the later of the 70th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made) to (ii) not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting (or, if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To clarify that adjournment or postponement, or public announcement of adjournment or postponement, of an annual meeting of shareholders does not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice of proposed business under Section 2.08 of the By-Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To require that a shareholder's notice under Section 2.08 of the By-Laws of business to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders set forth, as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, a brief description of the proposed business, the specific text of the proposed business (including the specific text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the articles of incorporation of the Corporation or By-Laws, the specific text of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and, as to the shareholder giving notice and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposed business is being brought:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among (A) the shareholder and the beneficial owner or (B) the shareholder or beneficial owner, on the one hand, and any other person(s) (including their name(s)), on the other hand, in each case in connection with or relating to the Corporation or the proposed business, including any material interest in, or anticipated benefit from, the proposed business to the shareholder or the beneficial owner or any of their respective affiliates or associates;

**Section 3.03. Adjournments.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To include that any meeting of the shareholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the chair of such meeting or by the Board, without the need for approval thereof by shareholders and that notice need not be given of any adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To provide that at an adjourned meeting only business that might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted if a notice of the adjourned meeting is not given; and, if an adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.04 of the By-Laws shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

***Amended as of: January 11, 2023***

ARTICLE I

<u>OFFICES</u>

Section 1.01.<u>Offices</u>. The corporation may have offices at such places both within and without the State of Michigan as the board of directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.

Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such times and places as may be fixed from time to time by the board of directors, within or without the State of Michigan, or by means of remote communication, as may be designated by resolution of the board of directors from time to time.

Section 2.02.<u>Annual Meeting</u>. An annual meeting of the shareholders for election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held each year at such time on such business day and in such month as may be designated by the board (provided that each successive annual meeting shall be held within 15 months of the preceding annual meeting).

Section 2.03.<u>Special Meetings</u>. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the board of directors or by the Chief Executive Officer, and shall be held on such date as may be specified in the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.04.<u>Notice of Meetings</u>.

Section 2.05.<u>Quorum</u>. The holders of a majority of the voting power of shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by express provision of statute or by the Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that when any specified action is required to be voted upon by a class or series of shares voting as a class or series, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified action. Without limitation to <u>Section 3.03</u>, if there shall be no

------

Once a quorum shall have been determined to be present, the shareholders present in person or by proxy at any meeting may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
