  1 23    "Sec.    .  Section 490.832, Code 2001, is amended
  1 24 by striking the section and inserting in lieu thereof
  1 25 the following:
  1 26    490.832  DIRECTOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
  1 27    1.  A conflict of interest transaction is a
  1 28 transaction with the corporation in which a director
  1 29 of the corporation has a direct or indirect interest.
  1 30 A conflict of interest transaction is not voidable by
  1 31 the corporation solely because of the director's
  1 32 interest in the transaction if any one of the
  1 33 following is true:
  1 34    a.  The material facts of the transaction and the
  1 35 director's interest were disclosed or known to the
  1 36 board of directors or a committee of the board of
  1 37 directors and the board of directors or committee
  1 38 authorized, approved, or ratified the transaction.
  1 39    b.  The material facts of the transaction and the
  1 40 director's interest were disclosed or known to the
  1 41 shareholders entitled to vote and the shareholders
  1 42 authorized, approved, or ratified the transaction.
  1 43    c.  The transaction was fair to the corporation.
  1 44    2.  For purposes of this section, a director of the
  1 45 corporation has an indirect interest in a transaction
  1 46 if either of the following is true:
  1 47    a.  Another entity in which the director has a
  1 48 material financial interest or in which the director
  1 49 is a general partner is a party to the transaction.
  1 50    b.  Another entity of which the director is a
  2  1 director, officer, or trustee is a party to the
  2  2 transaction and the transaction is or should be
  2  3 considered by the board of directors of the
  2  4 corporation.
  2  5    3.  For purposes of subsection 1, paragraph "a", a
  2  6 conflict of interest transaction is authorized,
  2  7 approved, or ratified if it receives the affirmative
  2  8 vote of a majority of the directors on the board of
  2  9 directors or on the committee, who have no direct or
  2 10 indirect interest in the transaction, but a
  2 11 transaction may not be authorized, approved, or
  2 12 ratified under this section by a single director.  If
  2 13 a majority of the directors who have no direct or
  2 14 indirect interest in the transaction vote to
  2 15 authorize, approve, or ratify the transaction, a
  2 16 quorum is present for the purpose of taking action
  2 17 under this section.  The presence of, or a vote cast
  2 18 by, a director with a direct or indirect interest in
  2 19 the transaction does not affect the validity of any
  2 20 action taken under subsection 1, paragraph "a", if the
  2 21 transaction is otherwise authorized, approved, or
  2 22 ratified as provided in that subsection.
  2 23    4.  For purposes of subsection 1, paragraph "b", a
  2 24 conflict of interest transaction is authorized,
  2 25 approved, or ratified if it receives the vote of a
  2 26 majority of the shares entitled to be counted under
  2 27 this subsection.  Shares owned by or voted under the
  2 28 control of a director who has a direct or indirect
  2 29 interest in the transaction, and shares owned by or
  2 30 voted under the control of an entity described in
  2 31 subsection 2, paragraph "a", shall not be counted in a
  2 32 vote of shareholders to determine whether to
  2 33 authorize, approve, or ratify a conflict of interest
  2 34 transaction under subsection 1, paragraph "b".  The
  2 35 vote of those shares, however, is counted in
  2 36 determining whether the transaction is approved under
  2 37 other sections of this chapter.  A majority of the
  2 38 shares, whether or not present, that are entitled to
  2 39 be counted in a vote on the transaction under this
  2 40 subsection constitutes a quorum for the purpose of
  2 41 taking action under this section."

 10 35 attorney appointed to represent the minority
 10 36 shareholders shall be assessed against the bank or the
 10 37 bank holding company.  A judgment in the action shall
