| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The Company's Vice President and General Counsel is charged with reviewing and monitoring any potential conflict of interest transactions. All members of the board of directors, officers, and key employees are required to review and execute a conflict of interest policy. This policy requires that any conflicts of interest be disclosed on an annual basis, or at any other time that the person executing the policy becomes aware of a situation or transaction that actually or potentially creates a conflict of interest. All conflict of interest disclosure forms are initially reviewed by the Vice President and General Counsel. If a prohibited transaction were identified, the matter would be brought to the Chairperson of the Board for further review and appropriate action. In the event of a conflict of interest involving a member of the Board of Directors, such as a conflict in which a member had an interest, the member is required to disclose the potential conflict and abstain from any vote on the matter. Whether further precautions are required (e.g., prohibiting the interested party from engaging in discussions) would depend upon the specific nature and background of the conflict. |
