“Issf regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Issf's conflict of interest policy covers directors, officers, and disqualified persons of issf within the meaning of section 4958 of the internal revenue code, as well as directors, officers and members of any affiliate of issf who has a direct or indirect financial interest as defined under the policy. The policy provides that the determination of whether a conflict of interest exists is made by the independent members of issf's board of directors or of a committee having responsibility for implementing the conflict of interest policy. The policy further provides that actual conflicts of interest will be reviewed and voted upon by the independent members of issf's board. The policy prohibits individuals who have a conflict of interest from being present during any discussion of or vote as to whether a conflict in fact exists and as to whether to approve the transaction or arrangement involving the conflict of interest. The policy permits such individuals to present on the matter prior to any such discussion and vote.
