In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, interested persons have a duty to disclose all material facts to the directors and to the members of committees with powers delegated by the board of directors that are considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she must leave the meeting of such board of directors or committee while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, the board of directors or committee will determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible, the board of directors or committee will determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement and whether it is in the organization's best interest. An interested person may make a presentation at the board of directors or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she must leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement.”
