ARTICLE IX - DUTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 1. Duty of Directors and Officers. Directors and officers shall discharge the duties of their respective positions in good faith and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. In discharging their duties, Directors and officers, when acting in good faith, may rely on information, opinions, reports or statements including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by: (a) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation, whom the Director believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, (b) counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the Directors or officers believe to be within such person's professional or expert competence or (c) a committee of the Board upon which they do not serve, duly designated in accordance with a provision of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the Directors or officers believe to merit confidence, so long as in so relying they shall be acting in good faith and with that degree of care specified in this paragraph. Persons shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted. Persons who so perform their duties shall have no liability by reason of being or having been Directors or officers of the Corporation. 2. Right to Indemnification. Any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a Director or an officer of the Corporation, or served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation (any person serving in such capacity shall be referred to in this Article as a "Representative"), shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent allowable by law. The indemnification shall extend to all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or appeal of any such action or proceeding, and any other amounts, expenses and fees similarly incurred. 3. Contract Right. The preceding right of indemnification shall be a contract right enforceable by the Director, officer or Representative (or the estate or beneficiaries of any deceased Director, officer or Representative) with respect to any action or proceeding accruing or arising while this right to indemnification shall be in effect. 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or subsequently acquire.

5. Severability. It is the intent of the Corporation to indemnify its Directors, officers and Representatives to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of New York as they now exist or may be subsequently amended. If any portion of these indemnification provisions shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable by judicial decision or legislative amendment, the valid and enforceable provisions will continue to be given effect and shall be construed so as to provide the broadest indemnification permitted by law. 6. Insurance. Nothing in this Article shall preclude or limit the purchase of insurance to afford defense and indemnification coverage to its Directors, officers, and representatives up to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of New York if such insurance is authorized by the Board. ARTICLE X - CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 1. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure. A Director or officer of the Corporation shall disclose a conflict of interest: (a) with respect to a Director, prior to voting on or otherwise discharging the Director's duties with respect to any matter to come before the Board or any committee, (b) prior to entering into any contract or transaction involving the Corporation, and (c) as soon as possible after the Director or officer shall learn of a conflict of interest in any other context. A conflict of interest will be deemed to exist whenever (i) the Director or officer, (ii) any member of the Director's or officer's immediate family, or (iii) any organization of which the Director, officer or immediate family member is an officer, Director, member, partner, trustee, shareholder having a Material Investment Interest in the organization, or creditor having $25,000.00 or more at risk with the organization, or over which he or she otherwise exercises control, has, or reasonably expects to have, a substantial financial interest in any contract or transaction involving the Corporation or in any other matter to come before the Board or committee. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a "Material Investment Interest" shall mean (x) in the case of a publicly held company required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 5 percent or more of the ownership of an organization or the outstanding equity securities of any class issued by the organization, and (Y) in the case of all other organizations, 10 percent of the outstanding equity securities of any class issued by the organization or $25,000, whichever is lesser. Disclosure of the material facts surrounding the conflict of interest shall be made to the Chair of the Board or committee, as the case may be, and the Chair shall inform the other members of the Board or committee prior to any action thereon. If the conflict of interest involves a contract or transaction which has not been brought before the Board or committee, disclosure of the conflict of interest shall be made to the President.

A Director having a conflict of interest shall, upon request and in addition to the disclosure obligations set forth above, provide to the Board and any committee considering the conflicted matter complete information about the matter under consideration. After providing the information, the interested Director shall be excused from the meeting and shall not participate in any further consideration of the conflicted matter or any vote on it. The interested Director may, however, be counted for determining the presence of quorum at the meeting. The Board shall have the authority to regulate conflicts of interest between a Director or officer and the Corporation and between other members of the Corporation and the Corporation. In furtherance of that authority, it may, from time to time, adopt conflict of interest policies applicable to Directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation. ARTICLE XI - MISCELLANEOUS 1. Parliamentary Procedure. Every effort shall be made to conduct business on a consensus basis with deliberation following procedures that respect and honor all voices and that advance democratic process. In the event that a consensus cannot be achieved in a timely manner the President shall move to a vote following Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised shall govern meetings when they are not in conflict with the Corporation's By-Laws. 2. Standing Rules. The Board may approve standing rules, and the Secretary shall keep a record of the standing rules for future reference. 3. Dissolution. The Board may adopt a plan of dissolution of the Corporation which, to be effective, must be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the voting members pursuant to NPCL Section 1002. Upon dissolution of the Corporation, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. 4. Amendments. These by-laws may be altered, amended or repealed by a two-thirds vote of the voting members who are present at a duly constituted meeting of the members. In the case of meeting of the voting members, written notice of the proposed change shall have been made available to the voting members pursuant to Article IV, paragraph 6(a).
