        <ExplanationTxt>POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE REVIEWED AT LEAST ANNUALLY WITH EACH OF THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS REVIEWED AND AFFIRMED AT EACH ANNUAL MEETING. WHEN A MATTER COMES BEFORE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT GIVES RISE TO A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE AFFECTED DIRECTOR MAKES THE ISSUE KNOWN TO THE BOARD. AFTER DISCLOSING THE RELEVANT FACTS AND ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS, THE AFFECTED DIRECTOR LEAVES THE MEETING FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND ANY RELATED VOTE. IF IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS, THE REMAINING DIRECTORS WILL MAKE THE DETERMINATION. IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES SOMEONE HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT, IT INFORMS THE DIRECTOR AND GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO RESPOND AND EXPLAIN. IF THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT THE DIRECTOR HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD TAKES APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION.</ExplanationTxt>
