“Employees, as a condition of continued employment, are directed to act in a manner that supports lexington's reputation and growth. Broadly defined, conflicts of interest are situations in which employees have or seem to have choices between acting in the best interest of lexington or for their personal gain. These choices are usually mutually exclusive. Such situations include, but are not limited to, the following: being offered gifts, kickbacks, bribes or rewards, using or attempting to use information gained in the course of business for personal advancement, or financial or other gain. In matters which relate to lexington's mission and business, employees must act at all times to further lexington's purposes, goals and policies without regard for personal interests. The employee will be held accountable for family members and friends who violate these policies to the degree to which it can be determined that the employee contributed to their actions. For the purpose of this policy, family members are defined as the employee's spouse, parent, children, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and all equivalent step and inlaw relationships, as well as trustees and co-habitants. Employees should not engage in employment which creates a conflict of interest with their regular employment at lexington. If a conflict is disclosed, the executive committee discusses the disclosure, determines whether or not it is material and determines what course of action should be taken to ensure the conflict does not affect the decisions made at the board level. Actions could vary depending on the nature of the conflict but could include a board member's recusal from voting on a matter, removal from all discussions and voting on a matter, removal from certain committees or removal from the board. The executive committee recommends its conclusion 0n a disclosure of conflict to the full board for its approval.”
