The waiver of notice need not specify the purpose or general nature of business to be transacted at such meeting unless action is taken or proposed to be taken on matters specified in Section 4(b) of this Article V, in which case, the waiver of notice must state the general nature of the matter. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the Corporation records or be made part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting which are required to be described therein pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Article V, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.
