    Section 11. Standard of Conduct for Directors. Each Director shall always perform duties in a manner the Director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. A Director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by the persons designated below, unless the Director has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted. A Director shall not be liable to the Corporation or the Members for any action the Director takes or omits to take as a Director if, in connection with such action or omission, the Director performs duties in compliance with this section. A Director, regardless of title, shall not be deemed to be a trustee with respect to the Corporation or with respect to any property held or administered by the Corporation includingwithout limitation, property that may be subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or transferor of such property. The designated persons on whom a Director is entitled to rely are: [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] legal counsel, a public accountant or other person as to matters which the Director reasonably believes to be within such person's professional or expert competence; or [c] a committee of the Board of Directors on which the Director does not serve if the Director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

    Section 12Conflicts of Interest. Each member of the Board of Directors should avoid undisclosed conflicts of interest and refrain from influencing the Board’s action on a matter in which a Director has a financial interest. It is the policy of the Corporation to avoid the participation of any Director in the Board of Directors’ consideration of a matter which poses a conflict of interest, as defined by the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, for that Director.

    [a]  Whenever any matter comes before a meeting of the Board of Directors that gives rise to a potential conflict of interest, the affected Director shall make known the conflict to the remaining Directors present at such meeting; shall, after answering any questions posed by the other Directors, withdraw from the meeting for as long as the matter is under consideration; and shall neither be present for, nor cast, a vote.

    [b]  If the withdrawal of the affected Director results in the loss of a quorum, no action shall be taken on the matter in question until a quorum of disinterested Directors can be established.

    [c]  The minutes of a meeting at which a conflict of interest arises shall reflect that a disclosure was made, the affected Director’s withdrawal from the meeting and abstention from voting, and, if action is taken on the matter, the continued presence of a quorum.

    Section 13Removal. Any member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be removed by the Members of the Corporation or by the affirmative vote of two–thirds of the Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present whenever, in their judgment, such removal would serve the best interests of the Corporation.

    Section 14Absences. Absence in any twelve-month period from five meetings with or without excuse may, at the option of the Board, be deemed a resignation from the Board and the position declared vacant. Cumulative attendance reports may be published with the minutes of each Board meeting.  Nothing in this provision shall be interpreted to prevent the Board from re-appointing, or the Members from re-electing, a member who has resigned due to absences. Written notice of possible resignation, which may be electronic, shall be sent to a Board member who has missed four meetings within any twelve-month period. 

    Section 15Action Without a Meeting. Any action to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting only under conditions that require action before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. In such case, a telephone meeting or a meeting held by electronic communications shall be deemed to comply with this provision in the discretion of the Board. The action taken by the Board shall only be effective if there are writings which describe the action and are filed with the minutes.  Actions taken shall be effective when the last writing necessary to effect the action is received by the Corporation or on a designated date.

Authority for Indemnification. Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation, may, on approval pursuant to Section 3 of this Article, be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, penalties, fines, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if it is determined by the groups set forth in Section 3 of this Article that such person conducted that person in good faith and that such person (1) reasonably believed in the case of conduct in the official capacity with the Corporation, that the person’s conduct was in the Corporation’s best interest, or (2) in all other cases (except criminal cases) believed that such person’s conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation’s best interests, or (3) with respect to criminal proceedings had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. A person will be deemed to be acting in such person’s official capacity while acting as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of this Corporation. No indemnification shall be made under this Section to a Director with respect to any claim, issue or matter in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in which the Director was adjudged liable to the Corporation or in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the Director, whether or not involving action in such person’s official capacity, in which such person was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by that person. Further, indemnification under this Section in connection with a proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation shall be limited to reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. These limitations shall apply to Directors only and not to Officers, employees, fiduciaries, or agents of the Corporation, except that Director shall include, unless the context otherwise requires, the estate or personal representative of a Director.

    Section 2. Effect of Termination of Action. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not meet the standards of conduct described in Section 1 of this Article. Entry of a judgment by consent as part of a settlement shall not be deemed an adjudication of liability.

    Section 3. Groups Authorized to Make Indemnification Determination. Any indemnification shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case and upon a determination that indemnification is permissible under the circumstances as set forth in Section 1. This determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum, which quorum shall consist of Directors not parties to the proceeding. If a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained, or even if a quorum can be obtained but such quorum so directs, the determination may be made by independent legal counsel selected by vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors or, if a quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full Board, including Directors who are parties to the action.

    Section 4. Advance of Expenses. Expenses, including attorney’s fees incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, may be paid by the Corporation to the person being indemnified under this provision in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of (1) a written affirmation of that person’s good faith belief that such person has met the standards of conduct prescribed by Section 1 of this Article; (2) a written undertaking, executed personally or on such person’s behalf, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person did not meet the prescribed standards of conduct; (3) the undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the person but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment; and (4) a determination is made by the proper group, as described in Section 3 of this Article, that the facts as then known to the group would not preclude indemnification. Determination and authorization of payments shall be made in the same manner specified in Section 3.

    Section 5Insurance. The Board of Directors may exercise the Corporation’s power to purchase and maintain insurance, including, without limitation, insurance for legal expenses and costs incurred in connection with defending any claim, proceeding or lawsuit on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation against any liability asserted against the Director or incurred by the Director in any such capacity or arising out of the Director’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the Director against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

    Section 6Nonexclusivity of Article. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights and procedures to which one indemnified may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, resolution of disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or Officer, and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors, and administrators.

    ARTICLE VIII – Amendments

    These Bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by a vote of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, and not otherwise, provided that notice of the proposed amendment, alteration or repeal shall have been delivered to each Director of the Corporation with the notice of the meeting at which the proposed amendment, alteration or repeal will be presented to the Directors for action.
