at such meeting. (2) At each election of directors every shareholder entitled to vote at such election

shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons

as there are directors to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote,

or, if the certificate of incorporation so provides, to cumulate his votes by giving

one candidate as many votes as the number of such directors multiplied by the aggregate

number of his votes shall equal, or by distributing such votes on the same principle

among any number of such candidates. (3) Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or by-laws , directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an election.
