•Amended Article II, Sections 3 and 7, to delete the reference to the other powers and duties of the Chief Executive Officer and the Secretary, respectively, each of which was added to Article II, Section 2.
•Deleted Article II, Sections 4 through 6 and Sections 8 through 13, referencing the creation of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Vice President and General Counsel; Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, and Vice Presidents; Assistant Secretaries; Treasurer; Assistant Treasurers; Controller; General Tax Counsel; and Other Officers.
