CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C DALLAS CITIZENS COUNCIL FOLLOWS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS TO PROTECT THE CORPORATIONS INTEREST WHEN IT IS CONTEMPLATING ENTERING INTO A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT MIGHT BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF AN OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF THE CORPORATION OR MIGHT RESULT IN A POSSIBLE EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. THIS POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE ANY APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING CONFLICT OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO NONPROFIT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH 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, THE INTERESTED PERSON SHALL LEAVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE DETERMINATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED AND VOTED UPON. THE REMAINING BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. AN INTERESTED PERSON MAY MAKE A PRESENTATION AT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE MEETING, BUT AFTER THE PRESENTATION, THAT PERSON SHALL LEAVE THE MEETING DURING THE DISCUSSION OF, AND THE VOTE ON, THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT INVOLVING THE POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE SHALL, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE 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 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 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. PROCESS USED TO DETERMINE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A & 15B THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
