“In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence and nature and all material facts to the board of directors or committee members considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. An interested person may make a presentation at the board or committee meeting, but after such presentation, he or she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. The chairperson of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts 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 attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest and the material facts are disclosed or known to the board or the committee, the board or committee shall be determined by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or committee members whether the transaction or arrangement is reasonably justified by the material facts and shall make its decision in good faith as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. If the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that an interested person has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, it shall inform the interested person of the basis for such belief and afford the interested person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the interested person and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the interested person has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
