“The wjp conflict of interest policy is followed by all board members and employees. All board members and employees are required to annually review the conflict of interest policy, which establishes procedures for addressing a financial interest, if one is reported. First, the board of directors (excluding an interested director who has reported the financial interest) determines if a conflict of interest actually exists. If a conflict of interest does exist, the chairman of the board appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement in question. That person or committee determines whether, with reasonable efforts, the wjp can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement. If one is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board determines by a majority vote solely of disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the wjp's best interest and for its own benefit, and whether the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable to the wjp. In conformity with such determinations, the board makes its decision by majority vote solely of the disinterested directors whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in question.”
