When any employee becomes aware of a conflict of interest transaction (whether before or after the transaction takes place), each employee is expected to disclose to the CEO all material facts regarding the nature of the conflict of interest and the parties involved. When informed of the details of the transactions, the CEO determines if a conflict of interest exists and, if so, the remedy to ensure the transaction is reasonable. Employees or board members involved in the potential conflict of interest transaction are excluded from the decision-making process. At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a transaction involving a board member or a person affiliated with a board member will be considered, said Director will disclose to the other members of the Board all material facts regarding the nature of the transaction or the Director's affiliation with any person or entity with whom the Board is considering entering into any transaction.
