| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 | THE 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND STAFF HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO CONDUCT BUSINESS WITHIN GUIDELINES THAT AVOID ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OCCURS WHEN A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR STAFF IS IN A POSITION TO INFLUENCE A DECISION THAT MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL GAIN AS A RESULT OF GROUNDSWELL'S BUSINESS DEALINGS. NO PRESUMPTION OF A CONFLICT IS CREATED BY THE MERE EXISTENCE OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUTSIDE FIRMS. HOWEVER, IF A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR STAFF HAS ANY INFLUENCE ON ANY MATERIAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT HE OR SHE DISCLOSES TO A GROUNDSWELL DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR STAFF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST SO THAT SAFEGUARDS CAN BE ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT ALL PARTIES. PERSONAL GAIN MAY RESULT NOT ONLY IN CASES WHERE A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, STAFF, OR RELATIVE HAS A SIGNIFICANT OWNERSHIP IN A FIRM WITH WHICH GROUNDSWELL DOES BUSINESS, BUT ALSO WHEN A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, OR RELATIVE RECEIVES ANY KICKBACK, BRIBE, SUBSTANTIAL GIFT, OR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION OR BUSINESS DEALINGS INVOLVING GROUNDSWELL. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS ARE ALSO BOUND BY THE CONFLICTS PROVISIONS IN THE BYLAWS, WHICH PROVIDE FOR APPROVAL OF A TRANSACTION IN WHICH A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. TRANSACTIONS IN WHICH STAFF HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST CAN SIMILARLY BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD. THIS POLICY ESTABLISHES ONLY THE FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH GROUNDSWELL WISHES ITS BUSINESS TO OPERATE. THE PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES IS TO PROVIDE GENERAL DIRECTION SO THAT A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR STAFF CAN SEEK FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON ISSUES RELATED TO THE SUBJECT OF ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS OF OPERATION. |
