ARTICLE VII - NOTICES
Section 1. Notices.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by law, all notices required to be given to any stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent shall be given personally, by mail, or by means of electronic transmission given in a form consented to in writing by such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent to whom notice is given. If such notice is mailed, it shall be deemed delivered three days after it is deposited in the official government mail or the day after delivered to a nationally recognized, receipted delivery service, all properly addressed to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent at the address of that recipient as it appears in the records of the Corporation with postage prepaid. If the notice is sent by facsimile telecommunication, notice is given when directed to a number at which such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent has consented to receive notice, and receipt of the transmission is obtained. If the notice is sent by electronic mail, notice is given when directed to an electronic mail address at which such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent has consented to receive notice, and receipt of the transmission is obtained. If notice is given by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the specific posting, notice is given upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice. If notice is given by any other form of electronic communication, notice is given when directed to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent and such person acknowledges receipt.
Each stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent shall designate to the Secretary the addresses at which notices of meetings and all other corporate notices may be served or delivered to such person by mail or by electronic transmission, and, if any such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent shall fail to designate such address, corporate notices may be served upon such person by mail directed to him at his last known address.
Section 2. Waiver of Notice.
A written waiver of any notice, signed by a stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance of a director or stockholder at a meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice shall also constitute a waiver of notice by such director or stockholder.
