Unless the articles or regulations otherwise provide, none of the other officers need be a director.

(B) Any two offices may be held by the same person, but no officer shall execute, acknowledge, or verify any instrument in more than one capacity if such instrument is required by law or by the articles, regulations, or bylaws, to be executed, acknowledged, or verified by two or more officers.

(C) Unless the articles or regulations otherwise provide, all officers shall be elected annually.

(D) Any officer may be removed, with or without cause, by the directors without prejudice to the contract rights of such officer.
