Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The conflict-of-interest policy is monitored annually. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person discloses the existence of the financial interest and is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members, if any, of committees with governing board of directors delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she leaves the governing board of directors of committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining governing board of directors or committee members decides if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person makes a presentation at the governing board or directors or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the governing board of directors or committee, if appropriate, appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board of directors or committee determines whether the corporation can obtain with 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 circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board of directors or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporations' best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it makes its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.
