10-842. Standards of conduct for officers
A. If an officer has discretionary authority with respect to any duties, an officer's duties shall be discharged under that authority:
1. In good faith.
2. With the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances.
3. In a manner the officer reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation.
B. In discharging duties, an officer is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by either:
1. One or more directors, officers or employees of the corporation whom the officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented.
2. Legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters the officer reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence.
