DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND SENIOR STAFF SIGN AN ANNUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS POLICY, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY ITS TERMS. WHENEVER A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR COMMITTEE MEMBER BECOMES AWARE OF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, WHETHER FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE, THEY MUST DISCLOSE THE SITUATION TO THE BOARD OR RELEVANT COMMITTEE AND PROVIDE ALL MATERIAL FACTS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE CONFLICT. THIS INCLUDES WHETHER THE INTERESTED PERSON BELIEVES THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE AN INDEPENDENT DECISION BASED SOLELY ON THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. IF THE INTERESTED PERSON DOES NOT MAKE THIS DISCLOSURE, ANOTHER DIRECTOR OR COMMITTEE MEMBER WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT SHOULD BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE. THE INTERESTED PERSON MUST RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THE MEETING AND REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE FINAL DISCUSSION AND VOTING ON THE EXISTENCE OF THE CONFLICT.
