     § 1707.  Exception to requirement of notice.
        (a)  General rule.--Whenever any notice or communication is
     required to be given to any person under the provisions of this
     subpart or by the articles or bylaws of any business corporation
     or by the terms of any agreement or other instrument or as a
     condition precedent to taking any corporate action and
     communication with that person is then unlawful, the giving of
     the notice or communication to that person shall not be
     required, and there shall not be any duty to apply for a license
     or other permission to do so. Any action or meeting that is
     taken or held without notice or communication to that person
     shall have the same validity as if the notice or communication
     had been duly given. If the action taken is such as to require
     the filing of any document with respect thereto under any
     provision of law or any agreement or other instrument, it shall
     be sufficient, if such is the fact and if notice or
     communication is required, to state therein that notice or
     communication was given to all persons entitled to receive
     notice or communication except persons with whom communication
     was unlawful. See section 1701 (relating to applicability of
     subchapter).
        (b)  Shareholders without forwarding addresses.--Subsection
     (a) shall also be applicable to any shareholder with whom the
     corporation has been unable to communicate for more than 24
     consecutive months because communications to the shareholder are
     returned unclaimed or the shareholder has otherwise failed to
     provide the corporation with a current address. Whenever the
     shareholder provides the corporation with a current address,
     subsection (a) shall cease to be applicable to the shareholder
     under this subsection.
