Two theorems are proved in this paper. First, all nontrivial meromorphic solutions of \[ f''+A_1(z)e^{az}f'+A_0(z)e^{bz}f=0\tag{*} \] are of infinite order, provided \(A_0\), \(A_1\) are non-vanishing meromorphic functions of order \(<1\) and that the non-vanishing complex constants \(a,b\) satisfy either \(\arg a\neq\arg b\), or \(a=cb\) with \(0<c<1\). Secondly, it is proved that such solutions \(f\) always have infinitely many distinct fixed-points. In fact, the exponent of convergence of this sequence of fixed-points is infinite. The same assertion also holds for \(f'\), \(f''\) and for \(d_2f''+d_1f'+d_0f\) with complex constants \(d_0\), \(d_1\), \(d_2\) not all vanishing simultaneously. The basic device in the proofs is a careful analysis of derivatives of~\(f\) on suitably selected sequence of radii. As for some other closely related recent papers dealing with fixed-points of solutions of linear differential equations, we refer to \textit{Z. Chen} [Acta Math. Sci. (Chin. Ed.) 20, No.~3, 425--432 (2000; Zbl 0980.30022)], \textit{I. Laine} and \textit{J. Rieppo} [Complex Variables, Theory Appl. 49, No.~12, 897--911 (2004; Zbl 1080.34076)] and \textit{J. Wang, H. Yi} and \textit{H. Cai} [J. Syst. Sci. Complex. 17, No.~2, 271--280 (2004; Zbl 1090.34071)].
