No conflicting interest transaction shall be void or voidable solely because the conflicting interest transaction involves a director of the corporation or a party related to a director of the corporation or an entity in which a director of the corporation is a director or officer or has a financial interest or solely because the director or officer is present at the meeting of the corporation's Board of Directors or of the committee of the Board of Directors that authorizes or approves the conflicting interest transaction or solely because the vote or votes of common or interested directors are counted for such purpose if:


              (a) The fact of the common directorship, office or financial interest is disclosed or is known to the Board of Directors or the committee and noted in the minutes, and the Board of Directors or committee of the corporation in good faith authorizes, approves or ratifies the conflicting interest transaction by a vote sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote or votes of the common or interested director or directors;


              (b) The fact of the common directorship or financial interest is not disclosed or known to the director or officer at the time the transaction is brought before the Board of Directors or committee for action; or


              (c) The conflicting interest transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is authorized or approved.


    3. Approval of Conflicting Interest Transactions. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the conflicting interest transaction and if the votes of the common or interested directors are not counted at the meeting, then a majority of the disinterested directors may authorize, approve or ratify a conflicting interest transaction.

  • ARTICLE IX - Indemnification

    Indemnification. To the extent permitted or required by the act (as defined below) and any other applicable law, if any director or officer (as defined below) of the corporation is made a party to, threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in (for example as a witness) any proceeding (as defined below) because such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, the corporation shall indemnify such person from and against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines (including but not limited to ERISA excise taxes), and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred (including but not limited to expenses of investigation and preparation, and fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants or other experts) by such person in such proceeding provided, such person (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of NRS or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which such person 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 or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any such proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of NRS or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Furthermore, the corporation may indemnify any such person in any proceeding that is by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor provided subsections (i) and (ii) set forth above are applicable to such person and provided further that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable in the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


    To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.


    The corporation may in its discretion (but is not obligated in any way) to indemnify an employee or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director or officer.


    The foregoing provisions for indemnification are discretionary unless ordered by a court and the corporation may provide for indemnification only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not parties to the proceeding.


    The expenses of any director or officer (or employee or agent indemnified by the corporation to the same extent as to a director or officer) incurred in defending a proceeding may be paid by the corporation at its discretion as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon written acknowledgement by such person that he or she will repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.


    Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this article for indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not affect adversely any right or protection stated in such provisions with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. If any provision of this article or any part thereof shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or part thereof shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision or part thereof as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other provisions or parts shall remain in full force and effect.


    As used in this article, the following terms have the following meanings:


             (a) Act. The term "act" means Chapter 82 of the NRS as it exists on the date this article is adopted, and as the Chapter 82 of the NRS may be thereafter amended from time to time. In the case of any amendment of the Chapter 82 of the NRS after the date of adoption of this article, when used with reference to an act or omission occurring prior to effectiveness of such amendment, the term "act" shall include such amendment only to the extent that the amendment permits a corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the Chapter 82 of the NRS permitted prior to the amendment.


             (b) Director or Officer. The term "director" or "officer" means (i) an individual who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or (ii) an individual who while a director or officer of the corporation, 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.


             (c) Proceeding. The term "proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, or proceeding and all appeals whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.


             (d) Code. The term "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.


    2. Limitation.

Further, even if a director attends or participates in a meeting, the director does not waive any required notice if special notice was required of a particular purpose and the director objects to transacting business with respect to the purpose for which such special notice was required and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting with respect to such purpose.
