          No contract or other transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of its directors are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be void or voidable solely because of such relationship or interest or because such director or directors were present at the meeting of the board of directors which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if (a) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested directors; or (b) the fact of such relationship is disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction.

best of his knowledge and belief, and, second, proof of his having advertised the loss in a newspaper of general circulation, published in the County within which the corporation then has its principal place of business, once a week for two weeks. He shall also execute and deliver to the corporation a bond with good security in a penalty of unlimited amount conditioned to indemnify the corporation and all persons whose rights may be affected by the issuance of the new certificates against any loss in consequence of the new certificate being issued.

          No contract or other transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of its directors are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest or because such director or directors are present at the meeting of the board of directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (1) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested directors; or (2) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation.
          Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction.
          On any question involving the authorization, approval or ratification of any such contract or transaction, the names of those voting each way shall be entered on the record of their proceedings.
     Section 3 - Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,

 


 

employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, taxes and penalties and interest thereon, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person did have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
          The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter, including, but not limited to, taxes or any interest or penalties thereon, as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
          To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding heretofore referred to, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses

 


 

(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
          Any indemnification provided for herein shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
          Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding as authorized in the manner herein provided, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section.
          The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any stockholder or member may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders, members or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     Section 5 - Inspection of Books and Records.
          Any person who shall have been a holder of record of shares or of voting trust certificates therefor at least

 


 

six months immediately preceding his demand or shall be the holder of record of, or the holder of record of voting trust certificates for, at least five percent (5%) of all the outstanding shares of the corporation, upon written demand stating the purpose thereof, shall have the right to examine, in person, or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time or times, for any proper purpose its relevant books and records of accounts, minutes, and record of stockholders and to make extracts therefrom.
