A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office.

In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after any record date fixed as aforesaid.

Such notice shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, the general nature of the business to be transacted.

        4.     Whenever any written notice is required by statute, or by the Articles or By-Laws of this corporation, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of the meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a person, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

        5.     Shareholders, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by such Board, may participate in and hold a meeting of such shareholders, Board, or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

        6.     Except as otherwise provided in the Articles or By-Laws of this corporation, any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose and shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation.

        7.     Fixing record dates for consents to action. Unless a record date shall have previously been fixed or determined pursuant to this section, whenever action by shareholders is proposed to be taken by consent in writing without a meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to consent to that action, which record date shall not proceed, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after, the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and the prior action of the Board of Directors is not required by this Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Delivery to the corporation's principal place of business shall be addressed to the President or the principal executive officer of the corporation. If no record date shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action of the Board of Directors is required by this Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts a resolution taking such prior action.



        8.     Any payments made to an officer or employee of the corporation such as a salary, commission, bonus, interest, rent, travel or entertainment expenses incurred by him, which shall be disallowed in whole or in part as a deductible expense by the Internal Revenue Service, shall be reimbursed by such officer or employee to the corporation to the full extent of such disallowance. It shall be the duty of the directors, as a Board, to enforce payment of each such amount disallowed. In lieu of payment by the officer or employee, subject to the determination of the directors, proportionate amounts may be withheld from his future compensation payments until the amount owed to the corporation has been recovered.

        9.     The Board of Directors must, when requested by the holders of at least one-third of the outstanding shares of the corporation, present written reports of the situation and amount of business of the corporation and, subject to limitations on the authority of the Board of Directors by provisions of law, or the Articles of Incorporation, the Board shall declare and provide for payment of such dividends of the profits from the business of the corporation as such Board shall deem expedient.


ARTICLE X—ANNUAL STATEMENTS

        1.     The President and Board of Directors shall present at each annual meeting a full and complete statement of the business and affairs of the corporation for the preceding year. Such statement shall be prepared and presented in whatever manner the Board of Directors shall deem advisable and need not be verified by a certified public accountant.

        2.     Upon the written request of any holder of record of shares of the corporation, the corporation shall mail to such holder its annual statements for its last fiscal year showing in reasonable detail its assets and liabilities and the results of its operations and the most recent interim statements, if any, which have been filed in a public record or otherwise published. The corporation shall be allowed a reasonable time to prepare such annual statements.

        2.     A determination of indemnification under this article must be made:

            (A)  by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the proceeding;

            (B)  if such a quorum cannot be obtained by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the proceeding;

MEDICAL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT PLAN

        Under Internal Revenue Code Section 105 an employee of a small corporation may receive reimbursements for medical expenses incurred by him for himself, his spouse and dependents. The payments received are not taxable as income to the recipient and at the same time qualify as deductible business expenses of the corporation.

        In order to qualify as a noninsured Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan with tax-exempt benefits, the plan must meet two requirements:

            1.     It must not discriminate in favor of someone who is highly compensated by being among the employer's five highest paid officers, a shareholder owning more than 10% in value of the employer's stock, or among the highest paid 25% of all employees who are not officers or shareholders.

            2.     It must benefit 70% or more of all employees, or 80% or more of all those eligible to participate in the plan. Employees who have not completed three years of service, are under age 25, are part-time seasonal or nonresident alien employees, or those covered by an agreement between representatives and the employer (as in the case of a labor union contract with a medical plan) need not be included.

            3.     The plan should be adopted by resolution of the board of directors and followed in practice.

        (The above rules, in effect prior to the enactment of Code Section 89 nondiscrimination rules, have been reinstated with the retroactive repeal of Code Section 89.

        Code Section 89 proved to be an administrative nightmare requiring tremendous compliance efforts on the part of employers. After intensive lobbying by the business community, Congress realized that these rules could prove to have a negative effect on employer decisions as to whether or not to provide, or continue to provide, benefits to employees.)
