capacity for any liabilities of the corporation, including, but
not limited to, debts, claims, taxes, fines or penalties.__Unless
otherwise provided by the bylaws, the clerk shall keep on file a
list of all shareholders of the corporation and keep, in a book
kept for that purpose, the records of all shareholders' meetings,
including all records of all votes and minutes of the meetings.__
These records may be kept by the clerk at the registered office
or another office of the corporation to which the clerk has ready
access.__The clerk may certify all votes, resolutions and actions
of the shareholders and may certify all votes, resolutions and
actions of the corporation's board of directors and its
committees.

 
2. Registered office. The clerk shall maintain a registered
office at some fixed place within this State, which may be, but
need not be, the corporation's place of business. The clerk
shall perform those duties required of the clerk elsewhere in
this Act.
