Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c If a director should have a conflict of interest, he or she will disclose the conflict to the Board of Directors and, if so directed by the Board of Directors, will abstain from voting with respect to matters involving the conflict. The Board of Directors will decide what action, if any, to take in light of a conflict of interest, which action may (but is not required to) include accepting the directors abstention, requiring the director to terminate the conflict of interest or causing the directors appointment to be terminated. Approval of an interested transaction may be given by a three-fourths vote of all directors, excluding interested directors, attending a regular or special meeting at which quorum is present. Notice and a description of the interested transaction will be given to each director at least ten days prior to the meeting at which approval of the transaction is decided. In the event of a transaction involving a significant expenditure of funds, it would be the duty of the Executive Committee to screen the transaction for any potential conflicts of interest and, if prudent, ask the vendor or service provider to disclose any relationship they may have with the Centers directors and staff.
