Incorporation. The Directors present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum
is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of enough Directors to leave less than a quorum. The Alternate Trustee’s positions shall
not be counted for quorum determination or to determine the sufficiency of any vote.

his or her in connection with the defense and the Court may order the fees and expenses
to be paid directly to the attorney or other person, although he or she is not a party to the
proceeding. The court may order notices to be given also to the shareholders in the
manner provided for giving notice of members meetings in such form as the Court
directs.

Section 5.     Checks, Drafts, Etc. All checks, drafts, or other orders for payment of
money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name or payable to the
Corporation, shall be signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner
as, from time to time, shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 6.     Annual Report. No annual report to members shall be required, but the
Board of Directors may cause to be sent to the members a report in such forms and at
such times as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

Section 7.     Outstanding Court Clerk’s Award. An Outstanding
Clerk/Administrator and/or Assistant award may be granted at each semi-annual meeting.
The Past Presidents’ Committee shall recommend a recipient or recipients for the award
to the Board of Directors whose approval will be required for the award or awards to be
presented.
