Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated thereby may participate in a meeting of the Board or such Committee by conferencing telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and the participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. The attendance at or participation of a Director or committee member in any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends or participates for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee designated thereby need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote, and shall take effect upon the execution of the action by the last Director. Section 12. Director Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between the 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 a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such contract or transaction or because such Director’s or Directors’ votes are counted for such purposes if: (a) The material facts of such transaction, relationship, or interest are disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote of consent sufficient for such action without counting the vote or consent of such interested Director(s); or (b) The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the members entitled to vote and they authorize, approve, or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent, in which vote or consent such interested Director(s) may participate to the extent that they are also members; or (c) The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation and the fact of such relationship or interest is fully and finally disclosed or known to the Corporation. If the majority of the Directors then in office who have no interest in the contract or transaction vote to authorize, approve, or ratify the contract or transaction, a quorum is present for purposes of this bylaw. 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.
