disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided in the resolution establishing such

or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. Subject to applicable law and the
rules and regulations of any securities exchange, inter−dealer quotation system or regulated quotation service on which securities of

directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which
one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this
reason, or solely because any such director or officer is present at participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because any such director or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose
if: (a) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or
are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or
transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a
quorum; (b) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good
faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contractor transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved

transaction.
