THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LASPCA ARE OFTEN CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROGRAMS AND CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS THAT INVOLVE OTHER PARTIES AND ORGANIZATIONS. THE LASPCA'S REPUTATION AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS, AS WELL AS ITS RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ITS DIRECTORS AND DONORS, ARE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. IN ADDITION, THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE OFTEN THE PRODUCT OF SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENTS OF THE LASPCA'S RESOURCES, ENERGIES AND EFFORTS. THE LASPCA THEREFORE HAS A STRONG INTEREST IN ALL OF ITS ACTIVITIES AND MUST MAINTAIN POLICIES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT ITS FINANCIAL INTERESTS. A KEY POLICY IS THAT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AS FIDUCIARIES OF THE LASPCA, MUST COMPLY WITH THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE POLICY RECOGNIZES THAT THE LASPCA HAS THE OBLIGATION AND THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE UNDIVIDED LOYALTY OF ITS DIRECTORS THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THEIR SERVICE. IN KEEPING WITH THIS OBLIGATION, THE LASPCA REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING COMMITMENTS FROM ITS DIRECTORS, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS: 1. EVERY DIRECTOR HAS A LEGAL AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PROMOTE THE LASPCA'S BEST INTERESTS. NO DIRECTOR MAY ENGAGE IN ANY CONDUCT OR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LASPCA'S BEST INTERESTS OR THAT IN ANY MANNER DISRUPTS, UNDERMINES OR IMPAIRS THE LASPCA'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH ANY LASPCA SUPPORTER OR DONOR, OR ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION, PERSON OR ENTITY WITH WHICH THE COMPANY HAS OR PROPOSES TO ENTER INTO AN ARRANGEMENT, AGREEMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND. 2. DIRECTORS MUST NOT, EITHER DURING OR SUBSEQUENT TO THE TERM OF THEIR SERVICE, INTERFERE WITH, DISRUPT OR IMPAIR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LASPCA AND ANY EMPLOYEE, CONSULTANT, REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION WITH WHICH THE LASPCA HAS OR PROPOSES TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP, ARRANGEMENT OR PROGRAM. 3. DIRECTORS, INCLUDING A DIRECTOR'S SPOUSE OR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER, MAY NOT ENGAGE IN ANY OUTSIDE ACTIVITY OR ACCEPT A POSITION IN ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION THAT EITHER INTERFERES WITH THEIR ABILITY TO DEVOTE THEIR FULL AND BEST EFFORTS TO THE LASPCA'S INTERESTS OR RAISES AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR THE POSSIBLE APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY RAISE AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (A) ACCEPTING EMPLOYMENT FROM, SERVING ON THE BOARD OF OR PROVIDING SERVICES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO ANY CHARITABLE OR HUMANE ORGANIZATION, OR ANY ORGANIZATION OR PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHARITABLE OR HUMANE ORGANIZATION, WHOSE INTERESTS MAY CONFLICT WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE LASPCA; (B) HAVING A DIRECT OR INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST IN OR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER CHARITABLE OR HUMANE ORGANIZATION WHOSE INTERESTS MAY CONFLICT WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE LASPCA, EXCEPT THAT OWNERSHIP OF LESS THAN 1% OF THE PUBLICLY TRADED STOCK OF A CORPORATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED A CONFLICT; (C) ENGAGING IN ANY ACTIVITY HAVING THE EFFECT OF DIVERTING ANY OPPORTUNITY DUE THE LASPCA TO ANY OTHER CHARITABLE, HUMANE OR OTHER ORGANIZATION OR PERSON; (D) COMMITTING THE LASPCA TO GIVE ITS FINANCIAL OR OTHER SUPPORT TO ANY OUTSIDE CHARITABLE OR HUMANE ORGANIZATION OR POLITICAL RELIGIOUS OR OTHER GROUP OR ACTIVITY WITHOUT PROPER APPROVAL; OR (E) USING PROPRIETARY OR CONFIDENTIAL LASPCA INFORMATION FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR TO THE LASPCA'S DETRIMENT. AS USED HEREIN, "DIRECTOR" INCLUDES THE DIRECTOR AND THE DIRECTOR'S SPOUSE AND IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE LASPCA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE THAT OTHER RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED BY THIS POLICY REPRESENT ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. 4. DIRECTORS HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IF THE DIRECTOR (OR THE DIRECTOR'S SPOUSE OR AN IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER) BECOMES INVOLVED IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT MIGHT RAISE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. DIRECTORS WHO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER REGARDING THIS POLICY OR THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES ON THEIR POSITION AS DIRECTORS SHOULD CONTACT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD BEFORE ENGAGING IN SUCH ACTIVITIES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW AND DETERMINE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ISSUES. THE REVIEW SHALL BE MADE A MATTER OF RECORD. ANY DIRECTOR (INCLUDING ANY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER) WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST REVIEW MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY VOTE ON THE MATTER OR BE COUNTED IN DETERMINING THE QUORUM FOR ANY BOARD MEETING AT WHICH THE DISCLOSURE IS CONSIDERED. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING WILL REFLECT THE DISCLOSURE AND THE RESULT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW. IN ANY CASE IN WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A DIRECTOR (INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR'S SPOUSE OR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER) AND AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL PRESENTS AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL BRING THE ISSUE TO A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE BOARD MAY BY MAJORITY VOTE TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IT DETERMINES TO BE APPROPRIATE TO AVOID OR PREVENT THE CONTINUATION OF THE ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. SUCH ACTION MAY INCLUDE, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY DIRECTOR FROM THE BOARD.
