THE INSIDER IS REQUIRED TO MAKE THAT DISCLOSURE PROMPTLY UPON LEARNING OF THE PROPOSED DECISION OR TRANSACTION. EACH EMPLOYEE WHO IS NOT AN INSIDER IS REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ALL MATERIAL FACTS REGARDING HIS OR HER INTEREST (INCLUDING RELEVANT AFFILIATIONS) IN ANY DECISION OR TRANSACTION BEING CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD. THE EMPLOYEE MUST MAKE THAT DISCLOSURE PROMPTLY UPON LEARNING OF THE PROPOSED DECISION OR TRANSACTION. WITH REGARD TO AN INSIDER, THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE DETERMINED RELEVANT BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. IF THE INSIDER IS A TRUSTEE, HE OR SHE SHALL NOT BE PRESENT DURING THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE'S DISCUSSION OR DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. WITH REGARD TO AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS NOT AN INSIDER, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. WITH REGARD TO AN INSIDER, THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE INVESTIGATES THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IN ORDER TO DECIDE WHETHER TO MAKE THE RELEVANT DECISION OR TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION. IF IT DOES SO, IT MUST ENSURE THAT THE BASIS FOR THE DECISION IS PRUDENT AND SOUND OR THE TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION ARE REASONABLE. IN THE CASE OF AN INSIDER WHO IS A TRUSTEE, THE TRUSTEE WILL NOT VOTE ON ANY DECISION OR TRANSACTION IN WHICH THE TRUSTEE HAS AN INTEREST AND WILL NOT BE PRESENT DURING THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE'S DISCUSSIONS. WITH REGARD TO AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS NOT AN INSIDER, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SHALL DECIDE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE BY THE ORGANIZATION ONCE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO EXIST. THE BOARD OVERSEES AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, THE CONTINUING SUITABILITY OF THE POLICY, AND WHETHER THE POLICY SHOULD BE MODIFIED AND IMPROVED.
