“Prior to a director's or officer's initial election to the board or the office, or a key person's employment at the corporation, and thereafter on an annual basis, the chairman will distribute an annual disclosure statement to all directors, officers, and key persons to be completed, signed and returned to the chairman as soon as possible. All conflicted party transactions are reviewed by the independent directors of the board. All covered persons with a financial interest leave the room in which deliberations are conducted and do not vote on the question of its approval. The independent directors determine whether there is a conflict of interest and, if there is, whether the contemplated conflicted party transaction is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the corporation. The board will not approve entering into any conflicted party transaction unless it is determined to be fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the corporation at the time of such determination and approved by a vote of a majority of the independent directors then in attendance (provided there is a quorum not counting the conflicted person or persons).”
