(1) Any notice required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.14A:1-1 et seq. , or by a certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any resolution of directors or
shareholders, may be provided by electronic transmission as follows: (a) Any notice to shareholders given by the corporation pursuant to any provision
of N.J.S.14A:1-1 et seq. , or by a certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any resolution of directors or
shareholders, shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented
to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given. (i) Any consent given pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be revocable
by the shareholder by written notice, and not electronic transmission, to the corporation. (ii) Any consent given pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 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 the shareholder's
consent; and (B) that 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 following the second missed delivery; provided, however, the inadvertent
failure to treat that inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or
other action. (b) Any notice to shareholders given by the corporation pursuant to any provision
of N.J.S.14A:1-1 et seq. , or by a certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any resolution of directors or
shareholders, 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 that specific posting, upon the later of (A) that posting; or (B)
the giving of the separate notice; or (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the shareholder. (c) 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 that the notice
has been given. (d) For purposes of this section, “ electronic transmission ” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission
of paper, including the use of, or participation in, an electronic network pursuant to N.J.S.14A:5-28 , that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient,
