The records described in (a) to (g) above, together with the accounting records, must be open to inspection by the directors at all reasonable times. In addition, following a request from a director, the corporation must provide the director with any extract of the records free of charge.
Upon request, a member, a member’s personal representative, and a creditor (for ex., a landlord or supplier) may examine the records referred to in (a) to (f) above and may, on payment of a reasonable fee, obtain copies of such records during the corporation’s usual business hours.
