　　(1) directors' action respecting the transaction was at any time taken in compliance with section 8.62;

　　(2) shareholders' action respecting the transaction was at any time taken in compliance with section 8.63; or

　　(3) the transaction, judged according to the circumstances at the time of commitment, is established to have been fair to the corporation.

　　(b) 如果有下列情形，则在一项股东提起的或公司提起的或为公司权利而提起的诉讼中，不得因为董事对交易有某种利益或任何与董事有个人的、经济的或其他联系的人对交易有某种利益而禁止或取消该交易或判决给予损害赔偿或其他制裁：

　　(1) 董事有关交易的活动在任何时候都是依据8.62节的规定;

　　(2) 股东有关交易的活动在任何时候都是依据8.63节的规定

　　(3) 从交易当时的情况来判断，该交易的成立对公司是公平的。

　　§ 8.62. DIRECTORS' ACTION 董事的活动

　　(a) Directors' action respecting a transaction is effective for purposes of section 8.61(b)(1) if the transaction received the affirmative vote of a majority (but no fewer than two) of those qualified directors on the board of directors or on a duly empowered committee of the board who voted on the transaction after either required disclosure to them (to the extent the information was not known by them) or compliance with subsection (b); provided that action by a committee is so effective only if:

　　(1) all its members are qualified directors, and

　　(2) its members are either all the qualified directors on the board or are appointed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified directors on the board.

　　(a) 如果一项交易在获得了在董事会上或得到董事会正当授权的委员会上多数(不少于两人)有资格董事的赞成票，则董事关于这一交易的活动就8.61(b)(1)节的规定而言就是有效的。上述董事对该交易的投票是或者在他们获得了董事给予他们的必要的呈报(该呈报是他们所不知道的)之后或遵守了(b)小节的规定之后进行的。但是上述委员会的行为只有在下列情况下才是有效的：

　　(1) 委员会的全体成员都是有资格的董事，和

　　(2) 委员会的成员或者都是董事会的有资格董事或是被多数董事会有资格的董事的多数赞成票任命的。

　　(b) If a director has a conflicting interest respecting a transaction, but neither he nor a related person of the director specified in section 8.60(3)(i) is a party to the transaction, and if the director has a duty under law or professional canon, or a duty of confidentiality to another person, respecting information

　　relating to the transaction such that the director may not make the disclosure described in section 8.60(4)(ii), then disclosure is sufficient for purposes of subsection (a) if the director (1) discloses to the directors voting on the transaction the existence and nature of his conflicting interest and informs them of the character and limitations imposed by that duty before their vote on the transaction, and (2) plays no part, directly or indirectly, in their deliberations or vote.

　　如果董事对某一交易有冲突利益，但是在8.60(3)(i)节中明确的董事本人或其相关人都不是交易的当事人，并且如果董事有义务依据法律或职业上的约束或对他人就交易的有关信息的保密义务，由此董事可以不按8.60(4)(ii)节的规定就交易的信息做必要的呈报。如果该董事(1)向对该交易投票的董事呈报其冲突利益的存在与本质以及在投票之前告知上述义务所施加的性质和限制，和(2)在对该交易的商议或投票中并不直接或间接地起作用，则该董事应按照(a)小节的规定作出必要呈报。

　　(c) A majority (but no fewer than two) of all the qualified directors on the board of directors, or on the committee, constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies with this section. Directors' action that otherwise complies with this section is not affected by the presence or vote of a director who is not a qualified director.

　　董事会上或委员会上所有有资格的多数董事(不少于两人)构成了本节所规定的活动的法定人数。董事的行为如果在其他方面都符合本节的规定，则并不会因为没有资格的董事的出席或投票而受到影响。

　　(d) For purposes of this section, "qualified director" means, with respect to a director's conflicting interest transaction, any director who does not have either (1) a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, or (2) a familial, financial, professional, or employment relationship with a second director who does have a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the first director's judgment when voting on the transaction.

　　就本节而言，"有资格的董事"指对于某一董事有冲突利益的交易，没有下列两种情形的任何董事：(1)与该交易没有冲突利益，或(2)与对该交易有冲突利益的又一董事没有家族的、财务的、职业的或雇佣的关系，而且这一关系被合理地预料到会对前述的第一个董事对交易的投票产生影响。

　　§ 8.63. SHAREHOLDERS' ACTION 股东的活动

　　(a) Shareholders' action respecting a transaction is effective for purposes of section 8.61(b)(2) if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all qualified shares were cast in favor of the transaction after (1) notice to shareholders describing the director's conflicting interest transaction, (2) provision of the information referred to in subsection (d), and (3) required disclosure to the shareholders who voted on the transaction (to the extent the information was not known by them).

　　如果在通知了股东下列事项之后，所有有资格股票的持有人授权投票的多数票赞同该交易，则股东关于该交易的行为，就8.61(b)(2)节的规定而言，就是有效的：(1)有关董事对交易有冲突利益的说明，(2) (d)小节中所指的信息说明，(3)给予对该交易投票的股东的必要的呈报(该呈报是他们所不知道的)。

　　(b) For purposes of this section, "qualified shares" means any shares entitled to vote with respect to the director's conflicting interest transaction except shares that, to the knowledge, before the vote, of the secretary (or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes), are beneficially owned (or the voting of which is controlled) by a director who has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction or by a related person of the director, or both.

　　本节所说的"有资格的股票"指的是任何有权对有董事冲突利益的交易投票的股票，但这样的股票除外，即在投票前，公司书记(或被授权统计投票的公司其他高级职员或代理人)知晓的该对交易有冲突利益的董事或其相关人或该董事与相关人二者按受益权所拥有的所有股票(或得以控制其投票的股票)。

　　(c) A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all qualified shares constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies with this section. Subject to the provisions of subsections (d) and (e), shareholders' action that otherwise complies with this section is not affected by the presence of holders, or the voting, of shares that are not qualified shares.

　　所有有资格股票的持有人授权投票的多数票构成了符合本节规定的行为的法定票数。股东的行为如果在其他方面都符合本节的规定，则并不会因为无资格股票的持有人的出席或投票而受到影响。

　　(d) For purposes of compliance with subsection (a), a director who has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction shall, before the shareholders' vote, inform the secretary (or other office or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes) of the number, and the identity of persons holding or controlling the vote, of all shares that the director knows are beneficially owned (or the voting of which is controlled) by the director or by a related person of the director, or both.

　　为遵守(a)小节的规定，对交易有冲突利益的董事在股东投票之前，应该向公司书记(或被授权统计投票的公司其他高级职员或代理人)报告主持或控制投票的人的人数和身份，所有董事知道的该董事或其相关人或董事与相关人二者按受益权所拥有的所有股票(或得以控制其投票的股票)。

　　(e) If a shareholders' vote does not comply with subsection (a) solely because of a failure of a director to comply with subsection (d), and if the director establishes that his failure did not determine and was not intended by him to influence the outcome of the vote, the court may, with or without further proceedings respecting section 8.61(b)(3), take such action respecting the transaction and the director, and give such effect, if any, to the shareholders' vote, as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.

　　如果只是因为董事没有遵守(d)小节的规定而没有遵守(a)小节的规定，并且，如果该董事证明他没有遵守规定并不是决定并且没有打算影响投票的结果，法院可以不管8.61(b)(3)节规定的程序是否是在进一步的进行中，对该交易和董事采取其认为在当时的情况下是适当的行为，如果股东已经投票，则视当时的情况赋予其法律效力。

　　§ 9.20. DOMESTICATION 本土化

　　(a) A foreign business corporation may become a domestic business corporation only if the domestication is permitted by the organic law of the foreign corporation.

　　只有外州公司的组织法允许本土化的条件下，一个外州公司可以转变为一个本州公司。

　　(b) A domestic business corporation may become a foreign business corporation if the domestication is permitted by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction. Regardless of whether the laws of the foreign jurisdiction require the adoption of a plan of domestication, the domestication shall be approved by the adoption by the corporation of a plan of domestication in the manner provided in this subchapter.

　　如果外州法律允许本土化，则一个本州公司可以转变为一个外州公司。不管外州的法律是否要求采用本土化计划书，公司通过采用本分章所规定的形式采用的本土化计划书所进行的本土化应该被批准。

　　(c) The plan of domestication must include:

　　(1) a statement of the jurisdiction in which the corporation is to be domesticated;

　　(2) the terms and conditions of the domestication;

　　(3) the manner and basis of reclassifying the shares of the corporation following its domestication into shares or other securities, obligations, rights to acquire shares or other securities, cash, other property, or any combination of the foregoing; and

　　(1) 股东依据计划书获得的股票或其他证券、履行义务证明、获取股票或其他证券的权利、现金、其他财产的数量和种类;

　　(2) 在本土化之后随即将生效的公司章程，除了10.05节或另一有管辖权的法律的条款允许改变外;或

　　§ 9.21. ACTION ON A PLAN OF DOMESTICATION 依照本土化计划书所采取的行动

　　In the case of a domestication of a domestic business corporation in a foreign jurisdiction:

　　(1) The plan of domestication must be adopted by the board of directors.

　　如果本州公司的本土化是在外州的司法领域内进行：

　　(1) 本土化计划书应由董事会来选定。

　　(2) After adopting the plan of domestication the board of directors must submit the plan to the shareholders for their approval. The board of directors must also transmit to the shareholders a recommendation that the shareholders approve the plan, unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a recommendation, in which case the board of directors must transmit to the shareholders the basis for that determination.

　　在选定了计划书之后，董事会必须将计划书提交股东批准。董事会也可以给股东传送一份建议书，建议股东批准该计划书，除非董事会认为，因为利益的冲突或其他特殊的情况不应该制作建议书，在这种情况下，董事会必须向股东报告该决定作出的依据。

　　(3) The board of directors may condition its submission of the plan of domestication to the shareholders on any basis.

　　董事会也可以以任何原因，视情况向股东提交本土化计划书。

　　(4) If the approval of the shareholders is to be given at a meeting, the corporation must notify each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote, of the meeting of shareholders at which the plan of domestication is to be submitted for approval. The notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan. The notice shall include or be accompanied by a copy of the articles of incorporation as they will be in effect immediately after the domestication.

　　如果股东通过会议决定是否批准该计划书，则公司必须通知每一个股东，本土化计划书将被提交至股东大会来批准，不管股东是否有权投票。该通知书中必须陈述会议的目的或目的之一是讨论该计划书，并且该通知书中应包含或附随一份计划摘要的副本。在他们本土化之后随即生效时，该通知应包含或附随一份公司章程的副本。

　　(5) Unless the articles of incorporation, or the board of directors acting pursuant to paragraph (3), requires a greater vote or a greater number of votes to be present, approval of the plan of domestication requires the approval of the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the plan exists, and, if any class or series of shares is entitled to vote as a separate group on the plan, the approval of each such separate voting group at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the domestication by that voting group exists.

　　除非公司章程，或董事会依据(3)节的规定，要求一个更多的票数或更多的出席会议的票数，批准本土化计划书要求在至少包含有权对该计划书投票的多数票的法定人数存在的会议上股东的批准。如果任何种类或系列的股票有权以一个独立投票团体的身份对该计划书投票，则每一个这样的独立投票团体应该通过至少包含有权对该计划书投票的多数票的法定人数存在的会议来批准该计划书。

　　(6) Separate voting by voting groups is required by each class or series of shares that:

　　(i) are to be reclassified under the plan of domestication into other securities, obligations, rights to acquire shares or other securities, cash, other property, or any combination of the foregoing;

　　(ii) would be entitled to vote as a separate group on a provision of the plan that, if contained in a proposed amendment to articles of incorporation, would require action by separate voting groups under section 10.04; or

　　(iii) is entitled under the articles of incorporation to vote as a voting group to approve an amendment of the articles.

　　(6) 投票团体的独立投票要求符合下列条件的每一种类或系列的股票：

　　(i) 这些股票被依据本土化计划书重新分为其他证券、履行义务证明、获取股票或其他证券、现金、其他财产的权利或前述各项组合;

　　(ii) 这些股票应有权依据计划书的一个条款，以独立投票团体的身份投票。该条款如果包含在一个被建议的公司章程修订稿中，则要求独立投票团体依据10.04节的规定行为;或

　　(iii) 依据公司章程的规定，这些股票有权以一个投票团体的身份投票批准对公司章程的一个修订条款。

　　(7) If any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement to which any of the directors or shareholders are parties, adopted or entered into before [the effective date of this subchapter], applies to a merger of the corporation and that document does not refer to a domestication of the corporation, the provision shall be deemed to apply to a domestication of the corporation until such time as the provision is amended subsequent to that date.

　　在[本分章生效日之]之前，如果公司章程、内部规章细则或一个由任何董事或股东作为当事人的合同中被采用或生效的条款适用于公司的合并，并且这一文书并未提到该公司本土化的问题，则该条款应被视为适用于该公司的本土化，一直到在上述日期之后该条款被修订时为止。

　　§ 9.22. ARTICLES OF DOMESTICATION 本土化的章程

　　(a) After the domestication of a foreign business corporation has been authorized as required by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction, articles of domestication shall be executed by any officer or other duly authorized representative. The articles shall set forth:

　　因本土化而交回经营许可证

　　(a) Whenever a domestic business corporation has adopted and approved, in the manner required by this subchapter, a plan of domestication providing for the corporation to be domesticated in a foreign jurisdiction, articles of charter surrender shall be executed on behalf of the corporation by any officer or other duly authorized representative.

　　(2) 同意很快支付这些股东依据第13章所享有的数额(如果有的话)。

　　(2) The shareholder shall not have owner liability under the laws of the foreign jurisdiction for any debt, obligation or liability of the corporation that arises after the effective time of the articles of domestication.

　　(3) The provisions of the laws of the foreign jurisdiction shall continue to apply to the collection or discharge of any owner liability preserved by paragraph (1), as if the domestication had not occurred.

　　(4) The shareholder shall have whatever rights of contribution from other shareholders are provided by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction with respect to any owner liability preserved by paragraph (1), as if the domestication had not occurred.

　　(c) 在本州被本土化的外州公司的股东的所有者责任应是如下：

　　§ 9.31. ACTION ON A PLAN OF NONPROFIT CONVERSION

　　依据非营利转化计划采取的行为

　　In the case of a conversion of a domestic business corporation to a domestic or foreign nonprofit corporation:

　　如果本州公司转化为一个本州或外州的非营利公司：

　　(1) The plan of nonprofit conversion must be adopted by the board of directors.

　　非营利计划书应由董事会来选定

　　(2) After adopting the plan of nonprofit conversion, the board of directors must submit the plan to the shareholders for their approval. The board of directors must also transmit to the shareholders a recommendation that the shareholders approve the plan, unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a recommendation, in which case the board of directors must transmit to the shareholders the basis for that determination.

　　在选定了非营利转化的计划书之后，董事会必须将计划书提交股东批准。董事会也可以给股东传送一份建议书，建议股东批准该计划书，除非董事会认为，因为利益的冲突或其他特殊的情况不应该制作建议书，在这种情况下，董事会必须向股东报告该决定作出的依据。

　　(3) The board of directors may condition its submission of the plan of nonprofit conversion to the shareholders on any basis.

　　董事会也可以以任何原因，视情况向股东提交非营利转化的计划书。

　　(4) If the approval of the shareholders is to be given at a meeting, the corporation must notify each shareholder of the meeting of shareholders at which the plan of nonprofit conversion is to be submitted for approval. The notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan. The notice shall include or be accompanied by a copy of the articles of incorporation as they will be in effect immediately after the nonprofit conversion.

　　如果股东通过会议决定是否批准该计划书，则公司必须通知每一个与会股东，非营利转化计划书将被提交至股东大会来批准，不管股东是否有权投票。该通知书中必须陈述会议的目的或目的之一是讨论该计划书，并且该通知书中应包含或附随一份计划摘要的副本。在他们非营利转化之后随即生效时，该通知应包含或附随一份公司章程的副本。

　　(5) Unless the articles of incorporation, or the board of directors acting pursuant to paragraph (3), requires a greater vote or a greater number of votes to be present, approval of the plan of nonprofit conversion requires the approval of each class or series of shares of the corporation voting as a

　　separate voting group at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the nonprofit conversion by that voting group exists.

　　除非公司章程，或董事会依据(3)节的规定，要求一个更多的票数或更多的出席会议的票数，批准非营利转化计划书要求以一个独立投票团体的身份在会议上投票的每一种类或系列的公司股票的批准，在该会议上，应有法定人数的投票团体存在，并且该投票团体至少包含有权对非营利转化投票的多数票。

　　(6) If any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement to which any of the directors or shareholders are parties, adopted or entered into before [the effective date of this subchapter], applies to a merger of the corporation and the document does not refer to a nonprofit conversion of the corporation, the provision shall be deemed to apply to a nonprofit conversion of the corporation until such time as the provision is amended subsequent to that date.

　　在[本分章生效日之]之前，如果公司章程、内部规章细则或一个由任何董事或股东作为当事人的合同中被采用或生效的条款适用于公司的合并，并且这一文书并未提到该公司非营利转化的问题，则该条款应被视为适用于该公司的非营利转化，一直到在上述日期之后该条款被修订时为止。
