Shares registered in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee if registered in his name. Shares held by a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or attorney-in-fact may be voted without registration in his name.

Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the common shares as to dividends or upon liquidation, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. However, any shareholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the corporation not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to a meeting date corresponding to the previous year’s annual meeting.

The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting.

3.11) Waiver of Notice. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors may be waived by a director either before, at, or after such meeting in a writing signed by such director; provided, however, that a director, by his attendance and participation in any action taken at the meeting of the Board of Directors, shall be deemed to waive notice of such meeting.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, if a person is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, the person is entitled, upon written request to the corporations to payment or reimbursement by the corporation of reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, (a) upon receipt by the corporation of a written affirmation by the person of a good faith belief that the criteria for indemnification set forth in Section 10.2 have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the corporation, if it is ultimately determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and (b) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article 10. The written undertaking required by clause (a) is an unlimited general obligation of the person making it, but need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

10.4. Reimbursement to witness. The corporation shall reimburse expenses, including attorneys fees and disbursements, incurred by a person in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the person has not been made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding.

10.5) Determination of eligibility. (a) All determinations whether indemnification of a person is required because the criteria set forth in Section 10.2 have been satisfied and whether a person is entitled to payment or reimbursement of expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding as provided in Section 10.3 shall be made:

10.6) Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person in that person’s official capacity against any liability asserted against and incurred by the person in or arising from that capacity, whether or not the corporation would have been required to indemnify the person against the liability under the provisions of this Article 10.

10.7) Disclosure. The amount of any indemnification or advance paid pursuant to this Article 10 and to whom and on whose behalf it was paid shall be reported as part of the annual financial statements furnished to shareholders pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.463, covering the period when the indemnification or advance was paid or accrued under the accounting method of the corporation reflected in the financial statements.

10.8) Discretionary Indemnification. Nothing in this Article 10 shall be construed to limit the ability of the Board of Directors to indemnify any person or entity not described in this Article 10 pursuant to, and to the extent described in, an agreement authorized by a majority of the directors then in office.
