ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD. DURING THE YEAR, IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT,

IN THE DISCUSSION, OTHER THAN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
TRANSACTION, AND MUST PHYSICALLY EXCUSE HIMSELF OR HERSELF, WHILE THE
REMAINING BOARD MEMBERS CONSIDER THE TRANSACTION TO DETERMINE
WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO THE ORGANIZATION. LEGAL
COUNSEL IS CONSULTED, AS NECESSARY, TO DETERMINE THAT SUCH A
TRANSACTION WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION.
