In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an Interested person must disclose the existence of such interest and present all of the material facts related thereto to the Board of Directors to determine and rule as to when a conflict arises.The procedure in addressing a conflict of interest is as follows: After the disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, the presentation of the material facts related thereto and any discussion occurring in connection therewith, the non-interested party remaining members of the Board of Directors shall meet to determine and rule if a conflict of interest exists.A: The chairperson of the Board of Directors may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or contractual arrangement.B: After exercising due diligence, the Board of Directors or appointed committee shall determine whether the Corporation can obtain, with reasonable effort, a more advantageous transaction or contract arrangement from an individual which would not give rise to a conflict of interest.C: If a more advantageous transaction or contractual arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances which do not produce a conflict of interest, the Board of Directors or appointed committee shall determine by a majority vote of the non-interested person directors and committee members, whether the transaction or contract arrangement is in the Corporations best interests, for its benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination the non-interested person and members shall make their decision as to whether the transaction or contractual arrangement should be entered into.Non-Disclosure of a Conflict of InterestA: If the Board of Directors has reasonable cause to believe an Interested Person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, they shall inform the Interested Person of the basis for said belief and afford the Interested Person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.B: If after conducting a further investigation, as warranted by the circumstances of the non-disclosure, the Board of Directors determine the Interested Person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, they shall take the appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
