8. Subsequent Ballots. If the required number of Directors is not elected on the first ballot, and there were

more candidates than the number of Directors to be elected on the ballot, there shall be subsequent ballots, as

necessary. For subsequent ballots:

(a) The candidate receiving the lowest number of votes in the preceding ballot shall not be a candidate in the

next ballot.

(b) Votes shall be cast only by: (i) Governors who voted in the preceding ballot for a candidate who was not

elected; and (ii) Governors whose votes for a candidate who was elected are deemed to have raised the votes

for that candidate above the applicable Adjustment Percentage under (c) below.

(c) The votes of all the Governors who cast votes for each candidate shall be added in descending order of

number, until the number of votes representing the applicable Adjustment Percentage has been exceeded.

Governors whose votes were counted in that calculation shall be deemed to have cast all their votes for that

Director, including the Governor whose votes brought the total over the Adjustment Percentage. The remaining

Governors whose votes were not counted in that calculation shall be deemed to have raised the candidate’s total

votes above the Adjustment Percentage, and the votes of those Governors shall not count towards the election

of that candidate. These remaining Governors may vote in the next ballot.

(d) If in any subsequent ballot, only one Director remains to be elected, the Director may be elected by a

simple majority of the remaining votes. All such remaining votes shall be deemed to have counted towards the

election of the last Director.

9. Assignment of Votes. Any Governor who does not participate in voting for the election or whose votes do

not contribute to the election of a Director may assign the votes to which he is entitled to an elected Director,

provided that such Governor shall first have obtained the agreement of all those Governors who have elected

that Director to such assignment.

10. Founding Member Privileges. The nomination and voting by Governors for Directors and the appointment

of Alternate Directors by Directors shall respect the principle that each Founding Member shall have the privilege

to designate the Director or anAlternate Director in its constituency permanently or on a rotating basis.
