“The bylaws recognize that either real and apparent conflicts of interest or dualities of interest (hereinafter referred to as conflicts) sometimes occur in the course of conducting the corporation's daily affairs. As used in these bylaws, conflict refers only to personal, proprietary interests of the persons covered by this policy and their immediate families and not to philosophical or professional differences of opinion. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with the corporation should be expected to have and do in fact generally have multiple interest and affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. Sometimes a person will owe identical duties to two or more organizations conducting similar activities. Conflicts are undesirable because they potentially or apparently place the interests of others ahead of the corporation's obligations to its corporate purposes and to the public interest. Conflicts are also undesirable because they often reflect adversely upon the persons involved and upon the institutions with which they are affiliated, regardless of the actual facts or motivations of the parties. However, the long-range best interests of the corporation do not require the termination of all association with persons who may have real or apparent conflicts if a prescribed and effective method can render such conflicts harmless to all concerned. Therefore, the corporation's policy shall be to require that all actual or apparent conflicts be disclosed promptly and fully to all necessary parties and to prohibit specified involvement in the related affairs of the corporation by persons having such conflicts. This policy shall apply to all members of the board of directors and corporate officers, agents, and employees of the corporation, including independent contractor providers of services and materials. The corporation's management shall have the obligation to publicize periodically this policy to the board of directors. All persons to whom this policy applies shall disclose all real and apparent conflicts which they discover or have been brought to their attention in connection with the corporation's activities. As used in these bylaws, disclosure shall mean providing promptly to the appropriate person(s) a written description of the facts comprising the real and/or apparent conflict. An annual disclosure statement shall be circulated to all persons to whom this policy applies to assist them in considering such disclosures, but disclosure is appropriate whenever conflicts arise. The written disclosure notices of conflicts shall be filed with the president of the corporation or any other person designated by the president from time to time to receive such notifications. All disclosure notices received hereunder shall be noted for record in the minutes of a meeting of the board of directors. When an individual director, officer, agent or employee believes that he/she or a member of his/her immediate family might have or does have a real and/or apparent conflict, such individual should, in addition to filing the disclosure notice required hereunder, abstain from making motions, voting, executing agreements or taking any other similar direct action on behalf of the corporation where the conflict might pertain but shall not be precluded from debate or other similar involvement on behalf of the corporation. When any person requests in writing or upon its own initiative, the board at any time may establish further guidelines consistent with the interests of the corporation for the resolution of any real and/or apparent conflicts.”
