“The organization's conflict of interest policy applies to all officers, directors and employees of the organization. A disclosure questionnaire concerning financial interests and any other potential conflicts of interest and related issues is completed by each director, officer and employee on an annual basis. Notwithstanding submission of the applicable questionnaire, each director, officer or employee has a continuing duty to disclose any potential conflicts of interest promptly upon coming into possession of any information concerning a potential conflict of interest or any changes in the information requested in the questionnaire. Any potential conflict of interest shall be disclosed to the audit committee of the board, or, when the matter is then under consideration by the board or the executive committee, to the board or executive committee, respectively. Neither the audit or executive committee, nor the board shall generally approve any transaction giving rise to a potential conflict of interest. However, in exceptional circumstances, the audit committee, the executive committee or the board may determine that based on a consideration of price, quality, expertise and other relevant factors, there is no transaction that is available or feasible as an alternative to the proposed transaction and such transaction is fair and reasonable and in the organization's best interest. Under such circumstances, the audit committee, the executive committee, or board may approve such transaction (subject, in the case of the audit committee, to the approval of the executive committee or the board). Such consideration and action shall be contemporaneously recorded and shall be reflected in the appropriate meeting minutes. A director, officer, or employee with a potential conflict of interest shall not be counted in determining the quorum for, seek to influence, participate in, or be present during any deliberations or vote of the audit committee, executive committee or the board regarding the transaction or potential transaction giving rise to the potential conflict of interest. Neither the audit committee, executive committee nor the board shall approve any transaction giving rise to a potential conflict of interest by less than a majority vote of committee (or board) members present at the meeting. The disclosure of a potential conflict of interest and the resolution of such potential conflict of interest shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the audit committee, or the executive committee or board at which the matter was presented or discussed.”
