ARTICLE 11.
POWERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 11.1The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by theseBy-laws directed or required to be exercised and done by the shareholders.
Section 11.2A director shall stand in a fiduciary relation to the Corporation and shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors upon which he may serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. In performing his duties, a director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by any of the following:
(a) One or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
(b) Counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such persons; and/or
(c) A committee of the Board of Directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated in accordance with law, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.
A director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause his reliance to be unwarranted.
In assessing whether the standard set forth herein has been satisfied, there shall not be any greater obligation to justify, or higher burden of proof with respect to, any act as the board of directors, any committee of the board or any individual director relating to or affecting an acquisition or potential or proposed acquisition of control of the corporation than is applied to any other act as a board of directors, any committee of the board or any individual director.
Section 11.3A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of a committee of the Board of Directors, at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he files his written dissent to the action with the Secretary of the Corporation before the adjournment thereof or transmits the dissent in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. The right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of the action. Nothing in this Section 11.3 shall bar a director from asserting that minutes of any meeting incorrectly omitted his dissent if, promptly upon receipt of a copy of such minutes, he notifies the Secretary of the Corporation, in writing, of the asserted omission or inaccuracy.
Section 11.4 Action by the board of directors on any of the following matters shall not be deemed approved unless at least 60% of all members of the board of directors have voted in favor of such action:
(a) Approval of any transaction in which the Corporation merges with a third party, whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity in such transaction;
(b) Approval of dividends;
(c) Termination or nonrenewal of any written employment agreement of the Corporation or any subsidiary;
(d) Sale or closure of any branch of any banking subsidiary of the Corporation;
(e) Opening any full service or limited production office of any banking subsidiary of the Corporation;
(f) Moving the legal headquarters of the Corporation; or
(g) Moving the legal headquarters of Riverview Bank.
