ARTICLE VII
NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
Section 7.1 NOTICE BY
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. Without
limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to
shareholders pursuant to the BCA, the articles of incorporation or these
By-laws, any notice to shareholders given by the Corporation under any
provision of the BCA, the articles of incorporation or these By-laws shall be
effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the
shareholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by
the shareholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be
deemed revoked if:
(a) the Corporation
is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given
by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and
(b) such inability
becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or
to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.
However, the inadvertent
failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any
meeting or other action.
Any notice given pursuant to
the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:
(i) if by facsimile
telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the shareholder has
consented to receive notice;
(ii) if by
electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the
shareholder has consented to receive notice;
(iii) if by a posting
on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of
such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the
giving of such separate notice; and
14
(iv) if by any other
form of electronic transmission, when directed to the shareholder.
An affidavit of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the
Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission
shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated
therein.
Section 7.2 DEFINITION OF
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. An electronic transmission means any form of communication,
not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a
record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof,
and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through
an automated process.
Section 7.3 INAPPLICABILITY. Notice by a form of electronic transmission
shall not apply to Sections 37(4) or 101 of the BCA.
