“It is the responsibility of each director, officer, employee, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers to discharge his or her duties as a director, officer, employee, or committee member in good faith, in a manner the person reasonably believes to be in the best interests of Roots for the Home Team, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. Duty to Disclose In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an Interested Person must disclose the existence and nature of his or her Financial Interest or Fiduciary Responsibility and all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangements. If an employee, the disclosure can be made to the employee's supervisor, who will communicate the disclosure to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangements. Such disclosure shall be made as soon as the conflict of interest is known to the Interested Person. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists After disclosure of the Financial Interest or Fiduciary Responsibility and all material facts, and after any discussion with the Interested Person, he or she shall leave the board or committee meeting while the final determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon.

D. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote (or other voting requirement, as provided in the Bylaws of Roots for the Home Team) of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in Roots for the Home Team's interest, and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to Roots for the Home Team, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. E. Interested Persons who have an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to a Financial Interest or Fiduciary Responsibility that is not the subject of board or committee action shall refrain from any action that may affect Roots for the Home Team's participation in the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest.
