“Enforcement: new board members and employees are given a copy of the respective policies. Each year all employees are reminded at the annual corporate compliance program training of the policy and of the sanctions associated with non-compliance. Annually, directors of the board and are asked to review the policy and to disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may have occurred since the last disclosure. The audit committee of the board reviews the board and senior management disclosures. Procedures for managing identified conflicts: before the board of directors takes action to review or approve a contract, transaction or compensation arrangement involving an actual conflict of interest, the director, officer, or employee who has the potential/actual conflict of interest and who is in attendance at the meeting must disclose all facts material to the conflict of interest. The chairperson of the board or designee (if appropriate) will appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate and report to the board of directors alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. Based on the information furnished by the disinterested person or committee, the board of directors will make a determination of whether the organization can obtain a more advantageous transaction or more reasonable arrangements from an entity or person that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement that would not give rise to a conflict of interest is not reasonably attainable under the circumstances, the board of directors will determine, by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organizations' best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the organization. A director who has a conflict of interest may not vote on the transaction or arrangement and may not be present in the meeting room when the vote is taken, unless the vote is by secret ballot. The directors' ineligibility to vote is reflected in the minutes of the meeting. The audit committee, which is composed solely of disinterested directors, will ensure that these procedures are complied with, and recommend removal of those that fail to comply with the policy. Monitoring: continuously, throughout the course of the year, all employees and directors are reminded of the conflicts of interest policies through cases and consequences discussions of non-compliance. This is done via e-mail, at directors meetings, and during steering committee meetings.”
