Membership Requirements (according to relevant OM Corporation by-laws): CONDITIONS OF
MEMBERSHIP 2. Membership in
the corporation shall be limited to persons
interested in furthering the objects of the
corporation and shall consist of anyone whose
application for admission as a member has received
the approval of the board of directors of the
corporation. 3. There shall be
no membership fees or dues unless otherwise
directed by the board of directors. 4. Any member may
withdraw from the corporation by delivering to the
corporation a written resignation and lodging a
copy of the same with the secretary of the
corporation. 5. Any member may
be required to resign by a vote of three-quarters
(3/4) of the members at an annual meeting or by a
majority vote of the board of directors. MEETINGS 31. The annual or
any other general meeting of the members shall be
held at the head office of the corporation or at
any place in Canada as the board of directors may
determine and on such day as the said directors
shall appoint. The members may resolve that a
particular meeting of members be held outside
Canada. 32. At every annual
meeting, in addition to any other business that may
be transacted, the report of the directors, the
financial statement and the report of the auditors
shall be presented and auditors appointed for the
ensuing year. The members may consider and transact
any business either special or general at any
meeting of the members. The board of directors or
the president or vice-president shall have power to
call, at any time, a general meeting of the members
of the corporation. The board of directors shall
call a special general meeting of members on
written requisition of members carrying not less
than 5% of the voting rights. 60% of members
present in person at a meeting will constitute a
quorum. 33. Fourteen (14)
days written notice shall be given to each voting
member of any annual or special general meeting of
members. Notice of any meeting where special
business will be transacted shall contain
sufficient information to permit the member to form
a reasoned judgment on the decision to be taken.
Notice of each meeting of members must remind the
member that he has the right to vote by
proxy. Each voting member
present at a meeting shall have the right to
exercise one vote. A member may, by means of a
proxy, appoint a proxy holder to attend and act at
a specific meeting of members, in the manner and to
the extent authorized by the proxy. A proxy holder
must be a member of the corporation. A resolution in
writing, signed by all the members entitled to vote
on that resolution at a meeting of members, is as
valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of
members. 34. No error or
omission in giving notice of any annual or general
meeting or any adjourned meeting, whether annual or
general, of the members of the corporation shall
invalidate such meeting or make void any
proceedings taken thereat and any member may at any
time waive notice of any such meeting and may
ratify, approve and confirm any or all proceedings
taken or had thereat. For purpose of sending notice
to any member, director or officer for any meeting
or otherwise, the address of the member, director
or officer shall be his last address recorded on
the books of the corporation. VOTING OF
MEMBERS 36. At all meetings
of members of the corporation, every question shall
be determined by a majority of votes unless
otherwise specifically provided by statute or by
these by-laws. RULES AND
REGULATIONS 42. The board of
directors may prescribe such rules and regulations
not inconsistent with these by-laws relating to the
management and operation of the corporation as they
deem expedient, provided that such rules and
regulations shall have force and effect only until
the next annual meeting of the members of the
corporation when they shall be confirmed, and
failing such confirmation at such annual meeting of
members, shall at and from that time cease to have
any force and effect.
