“Explanation of monitoring and enforcement conflicts duty to disclose: in connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction arrangement. Determining whether a conflict exists: after disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person will leave the governing board or committee meeting while the governing board or committee discusses and votes on a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The remaining board or committee members will decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest: an interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting but, after the presentation, such interested person will leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson or the governing board or committee will, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee will determine whether the corporation 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 under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee will determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether is it fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it will make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Violation of the conflict of interest policy: if the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member of such board or committee has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it will inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and making further investigations as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it will take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
