that such a consent will be effective at a future time (including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than 60 days after such instruction is given or such provision is made, if evidence of such instruction or provision is provided to the Company. Unless otherwise provided, any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective.
An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a shareholder or proxy holder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a shareholder or proxy holder, shall be deemed to be written and signed for purposes of this Section 1.10, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Company can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the shareholder or proxy holder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the shareholder or proxy holder and (ii) the date on which such shareholder or proxy holder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission.
A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered to the Company upon the earliest of (i) when the consent enters an information processing system, if any, designated by the Company for receiving consents, so long as the electronic transmission is in a form capable of being processed by that system and the Company is able to retrieve that electronic transmission; (ii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Company’s principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded; (iii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Company’s registered office in the State of Texas by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (iv) when delivered in such other manner, if any, provided by resolution of the Board. A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered under this Section 1.10 even if no person is aware of its receipt. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgement from an information processing system establishes that a consent given by electronic transmission was received but, by itself, does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received.
In the event that the Board shall have instructed the officers of the Company to solicit the vote or written consent of the shareholders of the Company, an electronic transmission of a shareholder written consent given pursuant to such solicitation, to be effective, must be delivered by electronic mail or facsimile telecommunications to the Secretary or the President of the Company or to a person designated by the Company for receiving such consent, or delivered to an information processing system designated by the Company for receiving such consent.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Company as provided in Sections 6.201 or 6.202 of the TBOC. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the TBOC, if such action had been voted on by shareholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning any vote of shareholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Sections 6.201 or 6.202 of the TBOC.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1.4 concerning advance notice of shareholder business or the nomination or election of directors shall not apply to any action by shareholder written consent.
1.11Record Dates. In order that the Company may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall
