THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING ALL GIFTS OF MONEY OR PROPERTY TO THE CORPORATION AND, WITH RESPECT TO ACCEPTED GIFTS, TO APPROVE ANY RESTRICTIONS OR CONDITIONS IMPOSED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF SUCH GIFTS BY THE DONORS THEREOF WHICH ARE NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE CHARITABLE PURPOSES OF THE CORPORATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT A GIFT MAY BE ACCEPTED SUBJECT TO PARTICULAR RESTRICTIONS OR CONDITIONS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL IN ALL EVENTS HAVE THE POWER TO MODIFY ANY RESTRICTION OR CONDITION OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS FOR ANY SPECIFIED CHARITABLE PURPOSES OR TO SPECIFIED ORGANIZATIONS, IF IN THE SOLE JUDGMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF APPROVAL BY THE DONOR OR ANY PARTICIPATING TRUSTEE, CUSTODIAN OR AGENT) SUCH RESTRICTION OR CONDITION BECOMES, IN EFFECT, UNNECESSARY, INCAPABLE OF FULFILLMENT OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE CHARITABLE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE CORPORATION.

A CONFLICT AS USED IN THIS POLICY REFERS ONLY TO PERSONAL, PROPRIETARY INTERESTS OF THE PERSONS COVERED BY THIS POLICY AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES AND NOT TO PHILOSOPHICAL OR PROFESSIONAL DIFFERENCES IN OPINION. CONFLICTS OCCUR BECAUSE THE MANY PERSONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORPORATION SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO HAVE, AND DO IN FACT GENERALLY HAVE MULTIPLE INTERESTS AND AFFILIATIONS AND VARIOUS POSITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SOMETIMES A PERSON WILL OWE IDENTICAL DUTIES TO TWO OR MORE ORGANIZATIONS CONDUCTING SIMILAR ACTIVITIES. CONFLICTS ARE UNDESIREABLE BECAUSE THEY POTENTIALLY OR APPARENTLY PLACE THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS AHEAD OF THE CORPORATIONS OBLIGATIONS TO ITS CORPORATE PURPOSES AND TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST. CONFLICTS ARE ALSO UNDESIRABLE BECAUSE THEY OFTEN REFLECT ADVERSELY UPON THE PERSONS INVOLVED AND UPON THE INSTITUTIONS WITH WHICH THEY ARE AFFILIATED, REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL FACTS OR MOTIVATIONS OF THE PARTIES. HOWEVER, THE LONG RANGE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CORPORATION DO NOT REQUIRE THE TERMINATION OF ALL ASSOCIATION WITH PERSONS WHO MAY HAVE REAL OR APPARENT CONFLICTS IF A PRESCRIBED AND EFFECTIVE METHOD CAN RENDER SUCH CONFLICTS HARMLESS TO ALL CONCERNED. THEREFORE, THE CORPORATIONS AFFIRMATIVE POLICY SHALL BE TO REQUIRE THAT ALL ACTUAL OR APPARENT CONFLICTS BE DISCLOSED PROMTPLY AND FULLY TO ALL NECESSARY PARTIES AND TO PROHIBIT SPECIFIED INVOLVEMENT IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE CORPORATION BY PERSONS HAVING SUCH CONFLICTS. THIS POLICY SHALL APPLY TO THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CORPORATION, INCLUDING ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS, OFFICE VOLUNTEERS AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR PROVIDERS OF SERVICES AND MATERIALS. THE CORPORATIONS MANAGEMENT SHALL HAVE THE AFFIRMATIVE OBLIGATION TO PUBLICIZE PERIODICALLY THIS POLICY TO ALL SUCH PARTIES. DISCLOSURE OF ALL CONFLICTS EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS POLICY APPLIES SHALL DISCLOSE ALL REAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS, WHICH HE/SHE DISCOVERS OR HAS BROUGHT TO HIS/HER ATTENTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE CORPORATIONS ACTIVITIES. DISCLOSURE AS USED IN THIS POLICY SHALL MEAN PROVIDING PROMPTLY TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSONS A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE FACTS COMPRISING THE REAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT. ALL DISCLOSURE NOTICES RECEIVED HEREUNDER SHALL BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. PRESCRIBED ACTIVITY BY PERSONS HAVING CONFLICTS WHEN A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, AGENT OR EMPLOYEE BELIEVES THAT HE/SHE OR A MEMBER OF HIS/HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY MIGHT HAVE OR DOES HAVE A REAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT, HE/SHE SHALL, IN ADDITION TO MAKING THE REQUIRED DISCLOSURE, ABSTAIN FROM MAKING MOTIONS, VOTING, EXECUTING AGREEMENTS, OR TAKING ANY OTHER SIMILAR DIRECT ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE CORPORATION WHERE THE CONFLICT MIGHT PERTAIN, BUT SHALL NOT BE PRECLUDED FROM DEBATE OR OTHER SIMILAR INVOLVEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CORPORATION. WHEN ANY PERSON REQUESTS IN WRITING, OR UPON ITS OWN INITIATIVE, THE BOARD AT ANY TIME MAY ESTABLISH FURTHER GUIDELINES CONSISTENT WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE CORPORATION FOR THE RESOLUTION OF ANY REAL OR APPARENT CONFLICTS. |
