“An interested person shall include any director, officer, or member of a committee to which the board of directors has delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, each interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and all material facts relating to the financial interest and any proposed transaction or arrangement at a meeting of the board of directors and/or at a meeting of any committee which is considering the transaction or arrangement. The interested persons may present to the board or committee any information which the interested persons believe that the board or committee should consider in determining whether a conflict of interest exists. All further proceedings shall be undertaken only by disinterested members of the board or committee. A majority of such disinterested members shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of taking action. The board or committee may conduct such investigation and consider such additional information as it deems relevant. The board or committee shall determine by majority vote whether a conflict of interest exists. The interested persons shall not be present during the deliberations or vote of the board or committee.

The board or committee shall determine by the exercise of due diligence whether the corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity which would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote whether the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable, in the corporation's best interest, and for the corporation's benefit. The board or committee shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with this determination. The minutes of the board and all committees to which the board has delegated powers shall contain: the names of the persons who have disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest; the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present; and the decision of the board or committee as to whether a conflict of interest existed; the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement; the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement which were discussed; and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings.”
