“This conflicts of interest and documentation policy ("policy") applies to all directors and officers of the organization and any other person who is in a position to exercise substantial influence over the decisions and affairs of the organization (collectively, "covered persons"). Duty to disclose if an interested person has a position or financial interest in any business or other entity with which the organization is considering entering into an arrangement or transaction, the interested person must disclose the existence of his or her position or financial interest and all material facts related thereto to the organization's board of directors (the "board") or executive committee as soon as the interested person has knowledge of the potential arrangement or transaction, and whenever requested by the board or the executive committee. Determining whether a conflict of interest exists after disclosure of a position or a financial interest by an interested person, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person (including those interested persons who are members of the board or executive committee) will leave the board meeting while the determination of whether a conflict of interest exists in connection with the proposed transaction is discussed by the board or the executive committee and voted upon. A position or a financial interest will be considered a conflict of interest only if the board or the executive committee makes such determination. An interested person is considered to have a conflict of interest with respect to his or her compensation if the person receives compensation from the organization and the person's compensation is being discussed or reviewed by the board or any committee thereof. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest *before any discussion and vote on whether a conflict of interest exists, an interested person may make a presentation to the board or the executive committee regarding the interested person's position or financial interest.

In conformity with this determination, the board will make its decision as to whether the organization may enter into the proposed transaction. Quorum for board or executive committee action for purposes of the board or executive committee actions to be taken under these procedures, including the determination whether a conflict of interest exists, a majority of the disinterested directors on the board or the executive committee will constitute a quorum. However, in no case will a single disinterested director take any such action. Violations of the conflicts of interest policy if the board or the executive committee has reasonable cause to believe that a covered person has failed to disclose a position or a financial interest, it will inform the covered person of the basis for such belief and afford the covered person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the covered person and making such further investigation as may be warranted under the circumstances, the board or the executive committee determines that the covered person has in fact failed to disclose a position or a fi”
