Understands that the Trust is a charitable organization and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, must engage in activities that accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.If a conflict of interest is found to exist, then the following procedures shall be followed:A.

The body that considers the proposed transaction or arrangement shall be composed entirely of individuals without a conflict of interest with respect to the proposed transaction or arrangement.B. The lead director of the committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.C. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether the Trust 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.D. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Trust's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. The Board or committee's deliberations should include an analysis of comparable transactions or arrangements. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. |
