FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A COMPLETE COPY (INCLUDING ALL OF SCHEDULE B) OF THE FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY BEFORE IT IS FILED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C INTERESTED PERSON: ANY DIRECTOR, PRINCIPAL OFFICER, OR MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE WITH GOVERNING BOARD DELEGATED POWERS WHO HAS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST, AS DEFINED BELOW, IS AN INTERESTED PERSON. FINANCIAL INTEREST: A PERSON HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST IF THE PERSON HAS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THROUGH BUSINESS, INVESTMENT, OR FAMILY: (A) AN OWNERSHIP OR INVESTMENT INTEREST IN ANY ENTITY WITH WHICH THE NORML FOUNDATION HAS A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, (B) A COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT WITH THE NORML FOUNDATION OR WITH ANY ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL WITH WHICH THE NORML FOUNDATION HAS A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, OR (C) A POTENTIAL OWNERSHIP OR INVESTMENT INTEREST IN, OR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT WITH, ANY ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL WITH WHICH THE NORML FOUNDATION IS NEGOTIATING A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. COMPENSATION: INCLUDES DIRECT AND INDIRECT REMUNERATION AS WELL AS GIFTS OR FAVORS THAT ARE NOT INSUBSTANTIAL. A FINANCIAL INTEREST IS NOT NECESSARILY A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. A PERSON WHO HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS POLICY IS BASED ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS") MODEL CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH IS AN ATTACHMENT TO FORM 1023. THIS POLICY ADDS INFORMATION NEEDED TO ALLOW THE NORML FOUNDATION TO ASSESS DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE IN ORDER TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON FORM 990. A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS ONLY IF THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS POLICY. INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR: A DIRECTOR SHALL BE CONSIDERED "INDEPENDENT" FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS POLICY IF THEY ARE "INDEPENDENT" AS DEFINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE IRS 990 FORM OR, UNTIL SUCH DEFINITION IS AVAILABLE, THE DIRECTOR: (A) IS NOT, AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST THREE YEARS, AN EMPLOYEE OF THE NORML FOUNDATION OR AN EMPLOYEE OF ANY ENTITY IN WHICH THE NORML FOUNDATION HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST; (B) DOES NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NORML FOUNDATION, WHICH MIGHT AFFECT INDEPENDENCE IN DECISION-MAKING; (C) IS NOT EMPLOYED AS AN EXECUTIVE OF ANOTHER CORPORATION WHERE ANY OF THE NORML FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES SERVE ON THAT CORPORATION'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE; AND DOES NOT HAVE AN IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OF THE NORML FOUNDATION OR WHO HOLDS A POSITION THAT HAS A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NORML FOUNDATION. DUTY TO DISCLOSE: IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. RECUSAL OF SELF: ANY DIRECTOR MAY RECUSE THEMSELF AT ANY TIME FROM INVOLVEMENT IN ANY DECISION OR DISCUSSION IN WHICH THE DIRECTOR BELIEVES THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. DETERMINING WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS: AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, THEY SHALL LEAVE THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE DETERMINATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED AND VOTED UPON. THE REMAINING BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST: (A) AN INTERESTED PERSON MAY MAKE A PRESENTATION AT THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING, BUT AFTER THE PRESENTATION, THEY SHALL LEAVE THE MEETING DURING THE DISCUSSION OF, AND THE VOTE ON, THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT INVOLVING THE POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. (B) THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE 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 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER THE NORML FOUNDATION 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 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE NORML FOUNDATION'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE ABOVE DETERMINATION, IT SHALL MAKE ITS DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. VIOLATIONS OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY: (A) IF THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE A MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT SHALL INFORM THE MEMBER OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD THE MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. (B) IF, AFTER HEARING THE MEMBER'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT SHALL TAKE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD AND ALL COMMITTEES WITH BOARD DELEGATED POWERS SHALL CONTAIN: (A) THE NAMES OF THE PERSONS WHO DISCLOSED OR OTHERWISE WERE FOUND TO HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN CONNECTION WITH AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE NATURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST, ANY ACTION TAKEN TO DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS PRESENT, AND THE BOARD'S OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S DECISION AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN FACT EXISTED. (B) THE NAMES OF THE PERSONS WHO WERE PRESENT FOR DISCUSSIONS AND VOTES RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, THE CONTENT OF THE DISCUSSION, INCLUDING ANY ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, AND A RECORD OF ANY VOTES TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROCEEDINGS. COMPENSATION: (A) A VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD WHO RECEIVES COMPENSATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM THE NORML FOUNDATION FOR SERVICES IS PRECLUDED FROM VOTING ON MATTERS PERTAINING TO THAT MEMBER'S COMPENSATION. (B) A VOTING MEMBER OF ANY COMMITTEE WHOSE JURISDICTION INCLUDES COMPENSATION MATTERS AND WHO RECEIVES COMPENSATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM THE NORML FOUNDATION FOR SERVICES IS PRECLUDED FROM VOTING ON MATTERS PERTAINING TO THAT MEMBER'S COMPENSATION. (C) NO VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OR ANY COMMITTEE WHOSE JURISDICTION INCLUDES COMPENSATION MATTERS AND WHO RECEIVES COMPENSATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM THE NORML FOUNDATION, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY, IS PROHIBITED FROM PROVIDING INFORMATION TO ANY COMMITTEE REGARDING COMPENSATION. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY. AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH MEETING OF THE BOARD, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD SHALL DECLARE WHETHER SUCH PERSON IS AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR WITH NO ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. TO ENSURE THE NORML FOUNDATION DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, PERIODIC REVIEWS SHALL BE CONDUCTED. THE PERIODIC REVIEWS SHALL, AT A MINIMUM, INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS: (A) WHETHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS AND BENEFITS ARE REASONABLE, BASED ON COMPETENT SURVEY INFORMATION (IF REASONABLY AVAILABLE), AND THE RESULT OF ARM'S LENGTH BARGAINING. (B) WHETHER PARTNERSHIPS, JOINT VENTURES, AND ARRANGEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS, IF ANY, CONFORM TO THE NORML FOUNDATION'S WRITTEN POLICIES, ARE PROPERLY RECORDED, REFLECT REASONABLE INVESTMENT OR PAYMENTS FOR GOODS AND SERVICES, FURTHER CHARITABLE PURPOSES, AND DO NOT RESULT IN INUREMENT OR IMPERMISSIBLE PRIVATE BENEFIT OR IN AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. WHEN CONDUCTING THE PERIODIC REVIEWS THE NORML FOUNDATION MAY, BUT NEED NOT, USE OUTSIDE ADVISORS. IF OUTSIDE EXPERTS ARE USED, THEIR USE SHALL NOT RELIEVE THE BOARD OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENSURING PERIODIC REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED.
