THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTERST POLICY WHICH SERVES TO ASSIST DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION TO IDENTIFY SITUATIONS THAT PRESENT POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TO PROVIDE A PROCEDURE WHICH WILL ALLOW A TRANSACTION WHICH IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CORPORATION TO BE BINDING EVEN THOUGH A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN RESPECT TO THAT TRANSACTION. THE POLICY IS DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY AT THE FIRST MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOLLOWING THE BEGINNING OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FISCAL YEAR. THE POLICY IS REVIEWED DURING THAT MEETING. EACH PERSON SERVING AS A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR KEY EMPLOYEE OF THE COPORATION IS REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY COMPLETE A DISCLOSURE FORM IDENTIFYING ANY RELATIONSHIPS, POSITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH HE OR SHE IS INVOLVED THAT HE OR SHE BELIEVES COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISING. MATERIALS FOR MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING, GIVING DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY ANY PROPOSED ACTION IN WHICH HE OR SHE MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. FOLLOWING THE CALL TO ORDER AT EACH MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A REQUEST FOR DISCLOSURE OF ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS MADE. AN ABSENCE OF A DECLARATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AT THAT TIME DOES NOT PROCLUDE THE LATER ANNOUNCEMENT OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHICH IS DETERMINED BY A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR KEY EMPLOYEE DURING THE MEETING.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15A
