5.4 Notice of Meetings
Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given in writing not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the
meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or other person charged with that duty, or if there
be no such officer or person, or in case of his or her neglect or refusal, by any director or shareholder. The notice shall state the place, date and
hour of the meeting and (a) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be
transacted, or (b) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of the mailing of the notice, intends to
present for action by the shareholders, but any proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action except as otherwise provided by
Section 601(f) of the Code. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the names of nominees intended at the
time of the notice to be presented by management for election. If the meeting is to be held in whole or in part by electronic transmission, the
notice shall state the means of electronic transmission by and to the Corporation to electronic video screen communication, if any, by which
shareholders may participate in the meeting.
5.5 Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice
Written notice shall be given by the Corporation to any shareholder, either (a) personally or (b) by mail or other means of written
communication (including electronic transmission by the Corporation), charges prepaid, addressed to such shareholder at such shareholder's
physical or electronic address appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by such shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of
notice. If a shareholder gives no address or no such address appears on the books of the Corporation, notice shall be deemed to have been given
if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the Corporation is
located, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which such office is located. The notice shall be
deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or sent by other means
of written communication and addressed as hereinbefore provided. An affidavit of delivery or mailing, or other authorized means of transmitting,
of any notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 , executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent, shall be
prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice. If any notice addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the
books of the Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal
Service is unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at such address, all future notices shall be deemed to have been duly given without
further mailing if the same shall be available for the shareholder upon written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the
Corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice to all other shareholders. Notice shall not be given by electronic
transmission by the Corporation after either one of the following: (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver two consecutive notices to the
shareholder by that means or (ii) the inability to so deliver such notices to the shareholder becomes known to the Secretary, any Assistant
Secretary, the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of the notice.
5.6 Consent to Shareholders' Meetings
The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting
duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the
shareholders entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an
approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of
the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
