(a) If, for a period of one month after the date fixed by or under the
by-laws  for  the annual meeting of shareholders, or if no date has been
so fixed, for a period of thirteen months after  the  formation  of  the
corporation  or  the  last annual meeting, there is a failure to elect a
sufficient  number  of  directors  to  conduct  the  business   of   the
corporation,  the board shall call a special meeting for the election of
directors. If such special meeting is not called by the board within two
weeks after the expiration of such period or if  it  is  so  called  but
there  is  a  failure to elect such directors for a period of two months
after the expiration of such period, holders of ten percent of the votes
of the shares entitled to vote in  an  election  of  directors  may,  in
writing,  demand  the  call  of  a  special  meeting for the election of
directors specifying the date and month thereof, which shall not be less
than sixty nor more than ninety days  from  the  date  of  such  written
demand.  The  secretary  of  the  corporation upon receiving the written
demand shall promptly give notice of such meeting, or if he fails to  do
so  within  five  business days thereafter, any shareholder signing such
demand may give such notice. The meeting shall  be  held  at  the  place
fixed  in  the  by-laws  or,  if  not  so  fixed,  at  the office of the
corporation.
  (b) At any such special meeting  called  on  demand  of  shareholders,
notwithstanding  section  608 (Quorum of shareholders), the shareholders
attending, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote in an election of
directors  shall  constitute  a  quorum  for  the  purpose  of  electing
directors, but not for the transaction of any other business.
