After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.

In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. |
