(d) Meetings. Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee
or any other committee appointed pursuant to this Section 26 shall be held at such times and places as are determined by the Board of
Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further notice of
such regular meetings need be given thereafter. Special meetings of any such committee may be held at any place which has been
determined from time to time by such committee, and may be called by the chairman of such committee or a member of such
committee, upon notice to the members of such committee of the time and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided
for the giving of notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors.
Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in writing or by electronic transmission at any time before or after the
meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends such special meeting for the
express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolutions authorizing the creation of the committee,
a majority of the authorized number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and
the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee.
Section 27. Organization. At every meeting of the directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has
not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer (if a director), or, if the Chief Executive Officer has not been appointed or
is absent the President (if a director), or, if the President has not been appointed or is absent, the most senior Vice President (if a
director), or, in the absence of any such person, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority of the directors present, shall preside
over the meeting. The Secretary, or in his absence, any person directed to do so by the Chief Executive Officer, or if the Chief
Executive Officer has not been appointed or is absent, then any person directed to do so by the President, shall act as secretary of the
meeting.
