Section 4.4. Resignations. Any officer or agent may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board, or to the President or the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Section 4.5. Removal. Any officer, committee, employee or other agent of the Corporation may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board or other authority which elected or appointed such officer, committee or other agent.
