Article XII - Notices

Notice by Mail, Telegram, Facsimile, or Electronic Mail
12.01 Any notice required or permitted by the By-Laws to be given to a member, Director, Officer, or member of a committee of the Corporation may be given by mail, telegram, facsimile, or electronic mail. If mailed, a notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the person at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage prepaid. If given by telegram, a notice shall be deemed to be delivered when accepted by the telegraph company and addressed to the person at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If given by facsimile, a notice shall be deemed delivered when the transmission status sheet indicates that the message was successfully transmitted. If given by electronic mail, a notice shall be deemed delivered when the message transmission is not followed by an indication of transmission error. A request for confirmation of receipt of the notice will be included in all electronic notices. A person may change his or her address by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation.

Signed Waiver of Notice
12.02 Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the Act or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws, a waiver in writing signed by a person entitled to receive a notice shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of the notice. A waiver of notice shall be effective whether signed before or after the time stated in the notice being waived.

Waiver of Notice by Attendance
12.03 The attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting unless the person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
