ARTICLE IX
No director or officer of this corporation shall have any personal liability to the corporation or to any of the corporation’s stockholders for monetary damage for conduct as a director or officer; provided, however, that the elimination of personal liability of a director or officer shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for:
A. Any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or stockholders;
B. Acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
C. Any unlawful distribution under the Oregon Business Corporation Act; or
D. Any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any director or officer made a party to any proceeding because the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against any liability incurred in the proceeding if
1)the conduct of the director or officer was in good faith;
2)the director or officer reasonably believed that the director’s or officer’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and
3)in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe the director’s or officer’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct described herein.
The corporation may not indemnify a director or officer:
i. in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation; or
ii. in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director or officer in which the director or officer was adjudged on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the director or officer.
The authority to indemnify as set forth in this Article is in accordance with the Oregon Business Corporation Act. Provisions of this Article with regard to indemnification shall not be construed to limit the provisions of this Article eliminating the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damage for conduct as a director or officer, nor shall it limit in any way the right of the corporation to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer who is a party to a proceeding, in advance of final disposition of the proceeding.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this certificate to be signed this 20 day of Jan , 2010.
