Such person shall retire from the room in, or the teleconference on which the board of directors is meeting and shall not participate in the final deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. However, that person shall provide the board of directors or committee with any and all relevant information with respect to the conflict of interest. The minutes of the meeting of the board of directors or a committee thereof shall reflect that (i) the conflict of interest was disclosed; (ii) the interested person was not present during the final discussion or vote; and (iii) such interested person did not vote. When there is uncertainty as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the matter shall be resolved by a vote of the board of directors, such vote is not to include such potentially interested person. A copy of the conflict of interest policy shall be furnished to each director, officer and staff member serving the corporation at the time the person becomes associated with the corporation. The policy shall be reviewed annually for the information and guidance of directors, officers, and staff members; and any new directors, officers or staff members shall be advised of the policy upon undertaking the duties of such office.
