Section 2. Vacancies:

Section 3. Regular Meetings:

A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, without other notice than this Bylaw, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders or any special meeting of stockholders at which a director or directors shall have been elected.

A resolution in writing signed by all the directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called, constituted, and held.

Section 5. Notices:

Notices of both regular and special meetings, save when held by unanimous consent or participation, shall be mailed by the Secretary to each member of the Board not less than three days before any such meeting and notices of special meetings may state the purposes thereof.
