23 January 2010 The tenure of additional directors is up to the date of agm. Also unless the article provide for retirement of all directors at each agm,not less than 2/3rd shall retire by rotation.
So in the present case if all the original directors were resigned,but company still have additional directors they can call for agm, and agm will appoint sirectors.
Also casual vacancy in the board can fill by the existing directors, even they are additional provided minimum quorum is there.
If the existing directors not sufficient for minimum they can call for general meetring but for no business.

23 January 2010 as per sec 256 only 1/3 dirctors to be retire so if there is 2 directors then 1 should retire.
if your company has made provision to retire all directors then OK. but u/s 256(4)(a) and (b) clearify that Company will appoint other director or re-appoint these directors in that AGM. So these two original directors will be re-appointed if AGM passes this.
Moreover two additional directors can be also confirm to act as director.
