§ 15a:6-5.

a. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, any

trusteeship not filled at the annual or biennial meeting and any vacancy, however

caused, occurring in the board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority

of the remaining trustees even though less than a quorum of the board, or by a sole

remaining trustee. A trustee so elected by the board shall hold office until the next succeeding annual

or biennial meeting and until a successor is elected and qualified. b. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, when one

or more trustees shall resign from the board effective at a future date, a majority

of the trustees then in office, including those who have so resigned, may fill the

vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when the resignation or resignations

become effective. Each trustee so chosen shall hold office as herein provided in the filling of other

vacancies. c. Any trusteeship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of trustees

shall be filled by election at an annual or biennial meeting or at a special meeting

called for that purpose of the members, or of the board if the certificate of incorporation,

the bylaws or any other applicable law provides for the election of trustees by the

board. A trustee elected by the board to fill the trusteeship shall hold office until the

next succeeding annual or biennial meeting and until a successor is elected and qualified. d. If by reason of death, resignation or other cause, a corporation has no trustees

in office, any member or the executor or administrator of a deceased member may call

a special meeting of members for the election of trustees and, over the signature

of that person, shall give notice of the meeting in accordance with section 15A:5-4 , except to the extent that the notice is waived pursuant to section 15A:5-5 .
