“In addition to initial and annual disclosures, directors, officers, and key persons are under a continuing obligation to disclose in good faith to the board of directors the existence of an interest in any related party transactions and the material facts surrounding these actual or possible conflicts of interest as they arise. Directors, officers, and key persons are under an obligation to avoid even the appearance of impropriety and shall disclose material facts relating to any situation which could potentially be a conflict of interest for further consideration by the board of directors. After disclosure of the financial interest or other interest and all material facts in writing to the board of directors, the board shall make a determination as to whether or not a conflict of interest exists. The individual with actual or possible conflict of interest shall not be present at, or participate in, any board of director deliberation or vote on any matter concerning or giving rise to such conflict, and is further prohibited from making any attempt to improperly influence deliberations or voting on the matter concerning or giving rise to such conflict; however, the board of directors may require that such individual, who has or may have conflict of interest, present information concerning the conflict of interest transaction as background or answer questions at a board of directors' meeting prior to the commencement of deliberations or voting on the mattter relating to such conflict of interest. After the exercise of due diligence, the board of directors shall determine whether it can obtain by reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement 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 possible under the circumstances that does not produce a conflict of interest, the board of directors shall determine by a majority vote of the of the board members then present and voting whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of the corporation, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. The existence and resolution of the conflict shall be documented in the corporation's records, including in the minutes of the board meeting at which the conflict was discussed or voted upon.”
