3.          Business. The corporation may be a partner in any business enterprise which the corporation would have the power to conduct by itself.
 
4.          Indemnity. No director shall be personally liable to the corporation or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director not withstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) authorizing distributions to shareholders in violation of the corporation’s Articles of Organization or which render the corporation insolvent or bankrupt, and approving loans to
