If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“Section 1. Impartial decision makers. The compensation arrangement must be approved in advance (before any payment is made) by the approval body composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. Section 2. Comparability data. When the approval body is considering a compensation arrangement, it must rely on comparability data that demonstrate the fair market value of the compensation in question. For example, when crafting compensation packages, the approval body must secure data that documents compensation levels for similarly qualified individuals in like positions at like organizations. This data may include the following: (a) expert compensation studies by independent firms; (b) written job offers for positions at similar organizations; (c) documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and forprofit organizations; and (d) information obtained from the irs form 990 filings of similar organizations. Section 3. Concurrent documentation. The approval body must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied. To qualify as concurrent documentation, written or electronic records of the approval body (such as meeting minutes) must note: (a) the terms of the compensation and the date it was approved; (b) the members of the approval body who were present during the debate on the compensation that was approved and those who voted on it; (c) the comparability data obtained and relied upon and how the data were obtained; and ( d) any actions taken with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the approval body but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation.”
