“Determining whether a conflict of interest exists: after a covered person has disclosed the existence of a financial interest or a possible financial interest to the board of directors, committee or board's designee, the board or committee shall determine if a conflict of interest exists because the covered person has an actual financial interest in the proposed transaction or arrangement and that he or she shall benefit from such proposed transaction or arrangement. Procedures for addressing a conflict of interest: 1. If the board of directors or committee determines that a covered person has a financial interest, then: a. If appropriate to protect the interest of the corporation, the chairperson of the board of directors or a majority of the disinterested directors shall appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement; b. After exercising reasonable due diligence, the disinterested directors or committee shall determine whether the corporation could 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; and c. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably obtainable, the board of directors or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interests and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation and shall decide as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. 2. If the chairperson of the board or a majority of the disinterested directors determine that it is not necessary to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement to protect the interests of the corporation, the board or committee of the board shall determine the extent to which such covered person shall recuse himself or herself from further involvement in the proposed transaction or arrangement.”
