A by-law relating generally to the transaction of the business and affairs of Clara Capital Corp. (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation")
DIRECTORS
-
Calling of and notice of meetings: Meetings of the board shall be held at such place and time and on such day as the President, Vice President or Secretary or any two directors may determine. Notice of meetings of the board shall be given to each director not less than 48 hours before the time when the meeting is to be held. Each newly-elected board may without notice hold its first meeting for the purposes of organization and the appointment of officers immediately following the meeting of shareholders at which such board is elected.
-
Votes to govern: At all meetings of the board, every question shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question; and in case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.
-
Interest of directors and officers generally in contracts: No director or officer shall be disqualified by his/her office from contracting with the Corporation nor shall any contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Corporation with any director or officer or in which any director or officer is in any way interested be liable to be voided nor shall any director or officer so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Corporation for any profit realized by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such director or officer holding that office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, provided that the director or officer shall have complied with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act.
SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS
- Location and quorum: Meetings of shareholders shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation or elsewhere in the municipality in which the registered office is located or, if the board shall so determine, at some other place in Canada or, if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting so agree, at some place outside Canada. Meetings of the board may be conducted solely by one or more means of remote communication through which all of the directors may participate with each other during the meeting, if the number of directors participating in the meeting would be sufficient to constitute a quorum. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting. Facilities for such participation shall be made available to each person present at the meeting. At any meeting of shareholders, a quorum shall be 2 persons present in person and each entitled to vote thereat and holding or representing by proxy not less than 25% percent of the votes entitled to be cast thereat.
INDEMNIFICATION
-
Indemnification of directors and officers: The Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer of the Corporation, a former director or officer of the Corporation or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his/her heirs and legal representatives to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act.
-
Indemnity of others: Except as otherwise required by the Canada Business Corporations Act and subject to paragraph 5, the Corporation may from time to time indemnify and save harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed activity, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an activity by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is an
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent of or participant in another body corporate, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amount actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such activity, suit or proceeding if he/she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal or administrative activity or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his/her conduct was lawful. The termination of any activity, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal or administrative activity or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had no reasonable grounds for believing that his/her conduct was lawful.
-
Right of indemnity not exclusive: The provisions for indemnification contained in the by-laws of the Corporation shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to activity in his/her official capacity and as to activity in another capacity, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such a person.
-
No liability of directors or officers for certain matters: To the extent permitted by the by-laws, no director or officer for the time being of the Corporation shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed out or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or body corporate with whom or which any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation shall be lodged or deposited or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever that may happen in the execution of the duties of his/her respective office or trust or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen by or through his/ her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and in connection therewith to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. If any director or officer of the Corporation shall be employed by or shall perform services for the Corporation otherwise than as a director or officer or shall be a member of a firm or a shareholder, director or officer of a body corporate that is employed by or performs services for the Corporation, the fact of his/her being a director or officer of the Corporation shall not disentitle such director or officer or such firm or body corporate, as the case may be, from receiving proper remuneration for such services.

-
Transfer fee: There must be paid to the Corporation, in relation to the registration of any transfer, the amount determined by the directors.
-
Restrictions on share transfer. Pursuant to section 2.4(2) of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions (NI 45-106), until the Corporation becomes listed on a Canadian stock exchange and the stock of the Corporation is traded, portions of stock of the Corporation may only be issued to a director, officer, employee, founder or a control person of the Corporation. Such other stock transfers are prohibited by the Canada Business Corporation Act.
