If a conflict does exist, the board will determine whether they can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If that is not reasonably possible, the disinterested members will vote to determine whether the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable, in the organization's best interest, and to the organization's benefit.”
