(2) The transaction is brought before the Board for action, and the director knows at the time the Board reviews the transaction that any of the following persons is either a party to the transaction or has a significant beneficial financial interest in or so closely linked to the transaction that a reasonable person would expect the interest to influence the director's judgment if the director were called upon to vote on the transaction:

(e) "Qualified director" means any director who does not have either:

(1) A conflicting interest respecting the transaction; or

(2) A familial, financial, professional, or employment relationship with a second director who does have a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the first director's judgment when voting on the transaction.

(d) "Qualified shares" means any shares entitled to vote with respect to the director's conflicting interest transaction except shares that, to the knowledge, before the vote, of the Secretary, are beneficially owned, or the voting of which is controlled, by a director who has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction or by a related person of the director, or both.

(e) "Related person" of a director means:

(1) A child, grandchild, sibling, parent, or spouse of, or an individual occupying the same household as, the director, or a trust or estate of which any of the above individuals is a substantial beneficiary; or

Directors' action respecting a director's conflicting interest transaction is effective if the transaction received the affirmative vote of a majority of (but no fewer than two) qualified directors who voted on the transaction after either required disclosure to them or compliance with Paragraph (b) below.

(b) Director's Disclosure. If a director has a conflicting interest respecting a transaction, but neither the director nor a related person of the director is a party to the transaction, and if the director has a duty under law or professional canon, or a duty of confidentiality to another person, which would prevent that director from making the disclosure described in Paragraph 5.1(f), then disclosure is sufficient if the director:

(1) Discloses to the directors voting on the transaction the existence and nature of the director's conflicting interest and informs them of the character and limitations imposed by that duty before their vote on the transaction; and
 
(2) Plays no part, directly or indirectly in their deliberations or vote.

(a) Majority Vote. Shareholders' action respecting a director's conflicting interest transaction is effective if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all qualified shares were cast in favor of the transaction after:

(2) Provision of the information referred to in Paragraph (c) below; and

(3) Required disclosure to the shareholders who voted on the transaction.

(b) Quorum. A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all qualified shares constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies with this section.

(c) Director's Disclosure. A director who has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction shall, before the shareholders' vote, inform the Secretary of the number, and the identity, of persons holding or controlling the vote of all shares that the director knows are beneficially owned or the voting of which is controlled by the director or by a related person of the director.

6.2 Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnity. Except as provided in Paragraph (d), the corporation shall indemnity an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

(1) The individual acted in good faith; and

(2) The individual reasonably believed:

(2) The director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct.

(b) Director's Undertaking. The undertaking required by subparagraph (a)(2) must be an unlimited general obligation of the director, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment if the Board determines that the risk the advance will not be repaid is reasonable under the circumstances.
