“Prior to the initial election of any director, and annually thereafter, each director completes, signs, and submits to the secretary of the corporation a written statement identifying, to the best of the director's knowledge, any entity of which such director is an officer, director, trustee, member, owner, or employee and with which the corporation has a relationship, and any transaction in which the corporation is a participant and in which the director might have a conflicting interest. The secretary provides a copy of all completed statements to the other directors of the corporation. If a possible conflict of interest arises, the interested party provides notice of the possible conflict of interest in writing to the board of directors in an expedient manner. The notice includes a description of the material facts surrounding the possible conflict of interest. Whenever the board of directors receives notice of a possible conflict of interest, or otherwise learns of a possible conflict of interest, it determines whether a conflict exists by a vote, excluding the person(s) who may be subject to the possible conflict. The person with the possible conflict of interest may not be present at, or participate in, the board of director's deliberation or vote on the matter giving rise to such possible conflict, nor may he or she attempt to improperly influence the deliberation or voting on the matter giving rise to such possible conflict. However, this section does not prohibit the board of directors from requesting that the person(s) with the possible conflict of interest present information as background or answer questions at a board of directors meeting prior to the commencement of deliberations or voting relating thereto. The existence and resolution of each conflict is documented in the corporation's records, including in the minutes of any meeting at which a possible conflict was discussed or voted upon. The following information is documented: (1) the fact that a possible conflict was disclosed and the nature of the conflict; (2) the board of director's resolution of the conflict; and (3) the fact that the interested party was not present during the final discussion or vote, and did not vote on the matter.”
