EVERY COVERED PERSON SHALL DISCLOSE ALL ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS THROUGH AN ANNUAL WRITTEN DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND AS MATTERS INVOLVING AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT ARISE. THE BOARD WILL EVALUATE THE DISCLOSURES AND THE MATERIAL FACTS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT GIVING RISE TO THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY INVOLVE ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND MAY ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES TO REMOVE THE CONFLICT FROM THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT.

IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A COVERED PERSON HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY, THE BOARD MAY COUNSEL THE COVERED PERSON REGARDING SUCH FAILURE AND, IF THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED TO THE BOARD'S SATISFACTION, MAY CONSIDER ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE ACTION, INCLUDING REMOVAL FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR OTHER POSITION WITH THE FILING ORGANIZATION, AS APPROPRIATE. |
