　　§ 8.62. DIRECTORS' ACTION 董事的活動(dòng)

　　(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) 如果一項(xiàng)交易在獲得了在董事會(huì)上或得到董事會(huì)正當(dāng)授權(quán)的委員會(huì)上多數(shù)(不少于兩人)有資格董事的贊成票，則董事關(guān)于這一交易的活動(dòng)就8.61(b)(1)節(jié)的規(guī)定而言就是有效的。上述董事對(duì)該交易的投票是或者在他們獲得了董事給予他們的必要的呈報(bào)(該呈報(bào)是他們所不知道的)之后或遵守了(b)小節(jié)的規(guī)定之后進(jìn)行的。但是上述委員會(huì)的行為只有在下列情況下才是有效的：

　　(1) 委員會(huì)的全體成員都是有資格的董事，和

　　(2) 委員會(huì)的成員或者都是董事會(huì)的有資格董事或是被多數(shù)董事會(huì)有資格的董事的多數(shù)贊成票任命的。

　　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.

　　如果董事對(duì)某一交易有沖突利益，但是在8.60(3)(i)節(jié)中明確的董事本人或其相關(guān)人都不是交易的當(dāng)事人，并且如果董事有義務(wù)依據(jù)法律或職業(yè)上的約束或?qū)λ司徒灰椎挠嘘P(guān)信息的保密義務(wù)，由此董事可以不按8.60(4)(ii)節(jié)的規(guī)定就交易的信息做必要的呈報(bào)。如果該董事(1)向?qū)υ摻灰淄镀钡亩鲁蕡?bào)其沖突利益的存在與本質(zhì)以及在投票之前告知上述義務(wù)所施加的性質(zhì)和限制，和(2)在對(duì)該交易的商議或投票中并不直接或間接地起作用，則該董事應(yīng)按照(a)小節(jié)的規(guī)定作出必要呈報(bào)。

　　(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.

　　董事會(huì)上或委員會(huì)上所有有資格的多數(shù)董事(不少于兩人)構(gòu)成了本節(jié)所規(guī)定的活動(dòng)的法定人數(shù)。董事的行為如果在其他方面都符合本節(jié)的規(guī)定，則并不會(huì)因?yàn)闆]有資格的董事的出席或投票而受到影響。

　　(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.

　　就本節(jié)而言，"有資格的董事"指對(duì)于某一董事有沖突利益的交易，沒有下列兩種情形的任何董事：(1)與該交易沒有沖突利益，或(2)與對(duì)該交易有沖突利益的又一董事沒有家族的、財(cái)務(wù)的、職業(yè)的或雇傭的關(guān)系，而且這一關(guān)系被合理地預(yù)料到會(huì)對(duì)前述的第一個(gè)董事對(duì)交易的投票產(chǎn)生影響。

　　§ 8.63. SHAREHOLDERS' ACTION 股東的活動(dòng)

　　(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).

　　如果在通知了股東下列事項(xiàng)之后，所有有資格股票的持有人授權(quán)投票的多數(shù)票贊同該交易，則股東關(guān)于該交易的行為，就8.61(b)(2)節(jié)的規(guī)定而言，就是有效的：(1)有關(guān)董事對(duì)交易有沖突利益的說明，(2) (d)小節(jié)中所指的信息說明，(3)給予對(duì)該交易投票的股東的必要的呈報(bào)(該呈報(bào)是他們所不知道的)。

　　(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.

　　本節(jié)所說的"有資格的股票"指的是任何有權(quán)對(duì)有董事沖突利益的交易投票的股票，但這樣的股票除外，即在投票前，公司書記(或被授權(quán)統(tǒng)計(jì)投票的公司其他高級(jí)職員或代理人)知曉的該對(duì)交易有沖突利益的董事或其相關(guān)人或該董事與相關(guān)人二者按受益權(quán)所擁有的所有股票(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.

　　所有有資格股票的持有人授權(quán)投票的多數(shù)票構(gòu)成了符合本節(jié)規(guī)定的行為的法定票數(shù)。股東的行為如果在其他方面都符合本節(jié)的規(guī)定，則并不會(huì)因?yàn)闊o資格股票的持有人的出席或投票而受到影響。

　　(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.

　　為遵守(a)小節(jié)的規(guī)定，對(duì)交易有沖突利益的董事在股東投票之前，應(yīng)該向公司書記(或被授權(quán)統(tǒng)計(jì)投票的公司其他高級(jí)職員或代理人)報(bào)告主持或控制投票的人的人數(shù)和身份，所有董事知道的該董事或其相關(guān)人或董事與相關(guān)人二者按受益權(quán)所擁有的所有股票(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?yàn)槎聸]有遵守(d)小節(jié)的規(guī)定而沒有遵守(a)小節(jié)的規(guī)定，并且，如果該董事證明他沒有遵守規(guī)定并不是決定并且沒有打算影響投票的結(jié)果，法院可以不管8.61(b)(3)節(jié)規(guī)定的程序是否是在進(jìn)一步的進(jìn)行中，對(duì)該交易和董事采取其認(rèn)為在當(dāng)時(shí)的情況下是適當(dāng)?shù)男袨?，如果股東已經(jīng)投票，則視當(dāng)時(shí)的情況賦予其法律效力。

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

　　如果本州公司的本土化是在外州的司法領(lǐng)域內(nèi)進(jìn)行：

　　(1) 本土化計(jì)劃書應(yīng)由董事會(huì)來選定。

　　(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.

　　在選定了計(jì)劃書之后，董事會(huì)必須將計(jì)劃書提交股東批準(zhǔn)。董事會(huì)也可以給股東傳送一份建議書，建議股東批準(zhǔn)該計(jì)劃書，除非董事會(huì)認(rèn)為，因?yàn)槔娴臎_突或其他特殊的情況不應(yīng)該制作建議書，在這種情況下，董事會(huì)必須向股東報(bào)告該決定作出的依據(jù)。

　　(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;

　　(iii) 依據(jù)公司章程的規(guī)定，這些股票有權(quán)以一個(gè)投票團(tuán)體的身份投票批準(zhǔn)對(duì)公司章程的一個(gè)修訂條款。

　　(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、內(nèi)部規(guī)章細(xì)則或一個(gè)由任何董事或股東作為當(dāng)事人的合同中被采用或生效的條款適用于公司的合并，并且這一文書并未提到該公司本土化的問題，則該條款應(yīng)被視為適用于該公司的本土化，一直到在上述日期之后該條款被修訂時(shí)為止。

　　§ 9.31. ACTION ON A PLAN OF NONPROFIT CONVERSION

　　依據(jù)非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化計(jì)劃采取的行為

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

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

　　非營(yíng)利計(jì)劃書應(yīng)由董事會(huì)來選定

　　(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.

　　在選定了非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化的計(jì)劃書之后，董事會(huì)必須將計(jì)劃書提交股東批準(zhǔn)。董事會(huì)也可以給股東傳送一份建議書，建議股東批準(zhǔn)該計(jì)劃書，除非董事會(huì)認(rèn)為，因?yàn)槔娴臎_突或其他特殊的情況不應(yīng)該制作建議書，在這種情況下，董事會(huì)必須向股東報(bào)告該決定作出的依據(jù)。

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.

　　如果股東通過會(huì)議決定是否批準(zhǔn)該計(jì)劃書，則公司必須通知每一個(gè)與會(huì)股東，非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化計(jì)劃書將被提交至股東大會(huì)來批準(zhǔn)，不管股東是否有權(quán)投票。該通知書中必須陳述會(huì)議的目的或目的之一是討論該計(jì)劃書，并且該通知書中應(yīng)包含或附隨一份計(jì)劃摘要的副本。在他們非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化之后隨即生效時(shí)，該通知應(yīng)包含或附隨一份公司章程的副本。

　　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，或董事會(huì)依據(jù)(3)節(jié)的規(guī)定，要求一個(gè)更多的票數(shù)或更多的出席會(huì)議的票數(shù)，批準(zhǔn)非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化計(jì)劃書要求以一個(gè)獨(dú)立投票團(tuán)體的身份在會(huì)議上投票的每一種類或系列的公司股票的批準(zhǔn)，在該會(huì)議上，應(yīng)有法定人數(shù)的投票團(tuán)體存在，并且該投票團(tuán)體至少包含有權(quán)對(duì)非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化投票的多數(shù)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、內(nèi)部規(guī)章細(xì)則或一個(gè)由任何董事或股東作為當(dāng)事人的合同中被采用或生效的條款適用于公司的合并，并且這一文書并未提到該公司非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化的問題，則該條款應(yīng)被視為適用于該公司的非營(yíng)利轉(zhuǎn)化，一直到在上述日期之后該條款被修訂時(shí)為止。
