by the board, and at the expiration of each of the terms of such directors or trustees,
their respective successors shall be elected for terms fixed by the board or determined
in accordance with the regulations and bylaws of the corporation. A director or trustee shall hold office until his successor is duly elected and
qualified. If any director or trustee of such a corporation resigns or dies, the vacancy shall
be filled by the board of directors or trustees for the unexpired term. Upon the death or resignation of any director or trustee elected for life or upon
the expiration of the term of any of his successors provided in this section, the
successor to the office shall be elected by a majority vote of the board of directors
or trustees to serve for a term fixed by the board or determined in accordance with
