Conflicts of Interest
Directors are expected to avoid any action, position or interest that conflicts with the interests of
the Company or gives the appearance of a conflict. If an actual or potential conflict of interest
develops, the director will report all facts regarding the matter to the Chairman of the Nominating
Committee (or, if the conflict of interest constitutes a “related person transaction,” to the Chairman of the
Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”)). Any material conflict must be resolved or the
director should resign. If a director has a personal interest in a matter before the Board, the director must
disclose the interest to the Board, excuse himself or herself from discussion, and abstain from voting, on
the matter.
