adopt such rules and regulations as they shall deem proper, not inconsistent with law or with these Bylaws, for the conduct of their meetings and for the
management of the business and affairs of the Company. Directors need not be stockholders.
Section 7. Compensation. Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but by resolution of the Board, a fixed sum and
expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board, and directors shall be entitled to compensation
other than a stated salary in such form and in such amounts as the Board may determine. However, this Bylaw shall not be construed to preclude any director
from serving in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of the Executive Committee and all other committees may be allowed a fixed

may determine.
