The internal by-laws of the financing authority may allow, subject to the conditions and on the documents determined therein, that a signature be affixed by means of an automatic device, that a signature be electronic or that a facsimile of a signature be engraved, lithographed or printed. However, the facsimile has the same force as the signature itself only if the document is countersigned by the chief executive officer.
The by-laws may, however, provide, for the documents determined therein, that the facsimile has the same force as the signature itself even if the document is not countersigned.
