A. Conflicting Interest. "Conflicting interest" means the interest a Director has respecting a transaction effected or proposed to be effected by VashonBePrepared or any other entity in which VashonBePrepared has a controlling interest if:

1. The Director knows at the time VashonBePrepared takes action that the Director or a related person is a party to the transaction or has a significant beneficial financial interest in or so closely linked to the transaction that a reasonable person would expect the interest to influence the Director's judgment if the Director were called upon to vote on the transaction; or

2. The transaction is brought before the Board for action, and the Director knows at the time the Board reviews the transaction that any of the following persons is either a party to the transaction or has a significant beneficial financial interest in or is so closely linked to the transaction that a reasonable person would expect the interest to influence the Director's judgment if the Director were called upon to vote on the transaction:

a) An entity of which the Director is a director, general partner, agent, or employee;

b) An entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with one or more of the entities specified in (A); or

c) An individual who is a general partner, principal, or employer of the Director.

B. Directorýs Conflicting Interest Transaction. "Director's conflicting interest transaction" means a transaction effected or proposed to be effected by VashonBePrepared or any other entity in which VashonBePrepared has a controlling interest respecting which a Director of VashonBePrepared has a conflicting interest.

C. Qualified Director. "Qualified Director" means any Director who does not have either:

1. A conflicting interest respecting the transaction; or

2. A familial, financial, professional, or employment relationship with a second Director who does have a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the first Director's judgment when voting on the transaction.

D. Related Person. "Related person" of a Director means:

1. A child, grandchild, sibling, parent, or spouse of, or an individual occupying the same household as, the Director; or

2. A trust or estate of which any of the above individuals is a substantial beneficiary; or 3. A trust, estate, incompetent, conservatee, or minor of which the Director is a fiduciary.

E. Required Disclosure. "Required disclosure" means disclosure by the Director who has a conflicting interest of:

1. The existence and nature of the Director's conflicting interest; and

Article XII: Conflicts of Interest: Directorsý Action

A. Majority Vote. Directors' action respecting a Director's conflicting interest transaction is effective if the transaction received the affirmative vote of a majority of (but no fewer than two) qualified Directors who voted on the transaction after either required disclosure to them or compliance with Paragraph B below.

B. Director's Disclosure. If a Director has a conflicting interest respecting a transaction, but neither the Director nor a related person of the Director is a party to the transaction, and if the Director has a duty under law or professional canon, or a duty of confidentiality to another person, which would prevent that Director from making the disclosure described in Article XIV, E, then disclosure is sufficient if the Director: 1. Discloses to the Directors voting on the transaction the existence and nature of the Director's conflicting interest and informs them of the character and limitations imposed by that duty before their vote on the transaction; and 2. Plays no part, directly or indirectly in their deliberations or vote.

C. Quorum. A majority (but no fewer than two) of the qualified Directors constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that comply with this Article. Directors' action that otherwise complies with this Article is not affected by the presence or vote of a Director who is not a qualified Director.

1. Each year VashonBePrepared shall distribute the income of VashonBePrepared, for the purposes specified in Article II, at such time and in amounts at least sufficient to avoid liability for the tax imposed by Section 4942 of the Code;

2. VashonBePrepared shall not engage in any act of "self-dealing" (as defined in Section 4941(d) of the Code) which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4941(a) of the Code;

3. VashonBePrepared shall not sell, exchange, distribute, or otherwise dispose of any "excess business holdings" (as defined in Section 4943(c) of the Code) which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4943(a) of the Code;

4. VashonBePrepared shall not make any investments which would jeopardize the carrying out of any of its exempt purposes (within the meaning of Section 4944 of the Code) and which would, therefore, give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4944 of the Code.
