In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person discloses the existence of the financial interest and is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after discussions with the interested person, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the disinterested board or committee members. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists.”
