“(a) an interested person may make a presentation at the board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion on, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. (b) the chairperson of the board or committee, if appropriate, appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (c) after exercising due diligence, the board or committee determines whether the corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (d) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee determines 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 it is fair and reasonable to the corporation and makes its decisions as whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. Violations of the conflict of interest policy: if the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it informs the member of the basis for such belief and affords the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
