before such determination. If the stock transfer books be closed for the purpose

such books shall be closed for at least fifteen (15) days immediately preceding
such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of
Directors may fix in advance a date in any case to be not more than sixty (60)
days, nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular

Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or
administrator, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a
guardian, conservator or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary either in person
or by proxy, but no guardian, conservator or trustee shall be entitled, as such
fiduciary, to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his
name.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and
shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver
without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so be contained in
an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares
until shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter
the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Shares of its own stock belonging to this corporation shall not be voted,
directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining
the total number of outstanding shares at any time, but shares of its own stock
held by it in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
SECTION 14. INFORMAL ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS. Any action required to be taken at
a meeting of the stockholders or any other action which may be taken at a
meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
