            (1) The presence, in person, by remote communication as provided in R.S. 12:1-709, or by proxy, of the holders of the majority of the total voting power shall constitute a quorum, except that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-fourth of the total voting power.

            (2) The stockholders present or represented at a duly organized meeting shall constitute a quorum and may continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum as fixed in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection or in the articles or bylaws or the refusal of any stockholders present to vote.

            (3)(a) If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, those present may adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, subject however, to the provisions of R.S. 6:272(C).

            (b) In the case of any meeting called for the election of directors, those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum as fixed in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection or in the articles or bylaws, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors.
