“Any director, officer, member of a committee with board delegated powers, employee, or volunteer who has a direct or indirect financial interest, is an interested person. In connection with any actual or potential conflict of interest known to an interested person, an interested person must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interest and all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she shall leave any board or committee meeting while the financial determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. If the board or a committee has reasonable cause to believe that an interested person has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, it shall inform the person of the basis for such belief and afford an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the interested person has in fact failed to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate corrective action.”
