Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time does not affect the validity of any corporate action.

Notice of any meeting may be waived before or after the date and time stated in the notice in a writing signed by any Shareholder if the waiver is delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.

Section 3.7 Proxies.

If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the holders of record of a majority of shares adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented, unless the Board fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally scheduled.
Section 3.9 Voting List.

The list shall be produced at the
BYLAWS OF 1ST SOURCE CORPORATION
meeting and subject to inspection by any Shareholder or the Shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact during the meeting or any adjournment. The original stock register or transfer book, or a duplicate kept in the State of Indiana, shall be the only evidence as to who are the Shareholders entitled to examine the list, or to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders.
Section 3.10 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if consents in writing setting forth the action taken are signed by the holders of outstanding shares having at least the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. The written consent must bear the date of signature of the shareholder who signs the consent and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Action taken under this section is effective when the last Shareholder signs the consent unless the consent specifies a different prior or subsequent effective date.
Section 3.11 Meeting by Telephone, Etc. Any or all Shareholders may participate in any meeting of Shareholders by, or through the use of, any means of communication by which all Shareholders participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.
