§ 6010. Selection of inspectors at stockholders' meetings. Unless

otherwise provided in the by-laws, the board, in advance of any

stockholders' meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the

meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed,

the person presiding at a stockholders' meeting may, and on the request

of any stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more

inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the

vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the board in advance of the

meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each

inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take

and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such

meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his

ability. No director or officer of the corporation shall be eligible to

act as an inspector of an election of directors of such corporation.
