“The audit and finance committee evaluates disclosures made in accordance with paf's conflict of interest policy, to determine whether they involve merely the appearance of a conflict of interest or whether an actual or potential material conflict of interest exists. After disclosure of the potentially conflicting interest and all material facts, and after answering any questions, the interested director shall recuse him or herself from discussion, or otherwise exerting any influence on, and voting relating to the matter. However, as a member of the board of directors, the interested director may be counted in determining the establishment of the quorum at such a meeting.”
