CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
OF
ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY CORPORATION
Section 1. Purposes. The proper governance of Zionsville Community Corporation
(the “Corporation”) depends upon directors who give of their time for the benefit of their
community. The giving of this service, because of the varied interests and backgrounds of the
directors, may result in situations involving a dual interest that might be interpreted as a conflict
of interest. This service should not be rendered impossible solely by reason of duality of interest
or possible conflicts of interest. This service nevertheless carries with it a requirement of loyalty
and fidelity to the Corporation, it being the responsibility of the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
to govern the Corporation’s affairs honestly and economically, exercising their best care, skill
and judgment for the benefit of the Corporation.
AF
Based on the foregoing, the purpose of this Conflict of Interest Policy (this “Policy”) is to
protect the interest of the Corporation when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or
arrangement that might benefit the private interest of a director, principal officer, key employee
or member of a committee with Board-delegated powers of the Corporation while recognizing
T
that it would disadvantage the Corporation to deprive it of the involvement of interested
colleagues.
Section 2. Definitions.
(a) Interested Person. Any director, principal officer, key employee or member of a
committee with Board-delegated powers who has a financial interest or conflict of
loyalty, each as defined below, is an Interested Person.
R (b) Financial Interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, or as a result
of the transaction at issue will have, a compensation or other financial
arrangement with the Corporation, including but not limited to, a sale, exchange
or leasing of property; the lending of money or other extension of credit; the
furnishing of goods, services or facilities, including specifically the provision of
D services as a vendor; the payment of compensation (or payment or reimbursement
of expenses); or the receipt of, or use of, the income or assets of the Corporation.
In identifying and disclosing a Financial Interest, an Interested Person shall
consider and disclose all personal Financial Interests, together with any Financial
Interest involving:
i. His or her family members, including but not limited to, his spouse,
ancestors, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the spouses of
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; or
ii. Any Corporation, partnership or other legal entity in which the Interested
Person (together with all family members described in Section 2(b)i.
above or other Interested Persons):
A. Holds a position of influence or control, such as but not limited to,
as trustee, director, Chair, chief executive officer, chief operating
officer, chief financial officer or treasurer; or
B. Owns greater than 20% of the total combined voting power.
(c) Conflict of Loyalty. It is the intent of this Policy that the definition of “Financial
Interest” above shall control in determining whether a person has a conflict of
interest or conflict of loyalty in the context of a commercial enterprise. In the
context of a nonprofit organization or governmental entity, a person has a conflict
of loyalty if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business or family, an
AF
interest or relationship with the nonprofit or governmental entity that prohibits or
inhibits, or potentially prohibits or inhibits, the person from exercising
independent judgment in the best interests of the Corporation, such as by serving
as a director or employee of, or providing goods or services to or for, the
nonprofit or governmental entity with which the Corporation has, or is
negotiating, a transaction or arrangement.
Section 3.
(a)
(b)
T
Procedures.
Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an
Interested Person must disclose the existence and nature of his or her Financial
Interest or conflict of loyalty to the directors and members of committees with
Board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.
Financial Interest – Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists.
R i. Upon disclosure of a Financial Interest, the Interested Person shall leave
the Board or committee meeting while the Financial Interest is discussed
and voted upon. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide
if a conflict of interest exists by a two-thirds (2/3) vote.
D
(c)
ii. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, the Board or committee
shall proceed as provided in Section 3(c).
Financial Interest – Addressing the Conflict of Interest.
i. The President or committee may, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested
person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction
or arrangement.
ii. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine
whether the Corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or
2
arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not
give rise to a conflict of interest.
iii. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably
attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of
interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the
directors (excluding an Interested Person who has a Financial Interest)
whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Corporation’s best interest
and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable
to the Corporation and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into
the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.
iv. In determining whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement under
AF
Section 3(c)iii., the Board or committee may request that the Interested
Person provide additional information to the Board or committee. The
Interested Person shall not be present or participate in the vote on whether
to enter into such transaction but may be counted for purposes of
determining the existence of a quorum. If the Interested Person is counted
for quorum purposes, the action must be approved by a sufficient number
T
of votes based upon that quorum. For example, if a majority vote of the
quorum is required to approve an action, and eight (8) directors constitute
a quorum, the action must be approved by five (5) of the seven (7)
disinterested directors voting on the transaction or arrangement.
(d) Conflict of Loyalty. Upon disclosure of a conflict of loyalty, the Board or
committee shall proceed with a vote on the proposed transaction or arrangement
after the exercise of due diligence and the investigation of alternatives to
determine whether a more advantageous transaction or arrangement exists. The
R
(e)
director with a conflict of loyalty may provide information to the Board or
committee upon request, may vote on whether to enter into such transaction or
arrangement, and may be counted for quorum purposes.
Violations of the Conflict of Interest Policy.
D i.
ii.
If the Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that an
Interested Person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of
interest, it shall inform the Interested Person of the basis for such belief
and afford the Interested Person an opportunity to explain the alleged
failure to disclose.
If, after hearing the response of the Interested Person and making such
further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the Board
or committee determines that the Interested Person has in fact failed to
disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate
disciplinary and corrective action.
3
Section 4. No Excess Benefit Transaction. In considering any transaction or conflict
of interest, the Corporation shall avoid any excess benefit transaction as defined by Section 4958
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding Treasury Regulations.
Section 5. Records of Proceedings. 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 or conflict of loyalty in connection with an actual or possible
conflict of interest, the nature of the Financial Interest or conflict of loyalty, any
action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the
Board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact
existed; and
(b)
AF
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 therewith.
T
Section 6. Annual Statements. Each director, principal officer, key employee and
member of a committee with Board-delegated powers shall annually sign a statement similar to
that attached as Exhibit A which affirms that such person:
(a) has received a copy of the Policy;
(b) has read and understands the Policy;
R (c)
(d)
has agreed to comply with the Policy; and
understands that the Corporation is a charitable organization and that in order to
maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which
accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.
D Section 7. Periodic Reviews. To ensure that the Corporation operates in a manner
consistent with its charitable purposes and that it does not engage in activities that could
jeopardize its status as an organization exempt from federal income tax, periodic reviews shall be
conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, assess whether compensation
arrangements and benefits are reasonable and are the result of arm’s-length bargaining.
Section 8. Use of Outside Experts. In conducting the periodic reviews provided for
in Section 7, the Corporation may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside advisors are
used, their use shall not relieve the Board of its responsibility for ensuring that periodic reviews
are conducted.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS POLICY
OF
ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY CORPORATION
Section 1. Introduction and Purpose. This Executive Compensation and
Intermediate Sanctions Policy (this “Policy”) is hereby established by Zionsville Community
Corporation (the “Corporation”) to ensure that its compensation arrangements with related
parties are evaluated and entered at arms’ length and that any compensation that is paid to a
related party is reasonable and reflects fair market value.
More specifically, this Policy is intended to manage and avoid the entering into of
transactions which would constitute an “excess benefit transaction” as that term is defined in
Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
AF
The Corporation is an Indiana nonprofit corporation and is exempt from federal income
taxation as an organization described in Code Section 501(c)(3). The Corporation is an
organization subject to the taxes on excess benefit transactions as set forth in Code Section 4958.
Accordingly, it is the intent of the Corporation to avoid any transaction which could give rise to
T
the excise (penalty) taxes imposed by Code Section 4958.
Section 2. Definitions. The following terms as used in this Policy are more fully
defined in Code Section 4958 and the Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”) issued pursuant
thereto. Key definitions can be summarized as follows:
a. The term “Disqualified Person” means a person who is or has been in a position
to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the Corporation during the five
years ending on the date of the transaction, a member of his or her family, or an
R entity in which the disqualified person has in excess of thirty-five (35%) percent
control. Persons holding the following powers and responsibilities are deemed to
be in a position to exercise substantial control over an organization: voting
members of the governing body, the president, the chief executive officer, the
chief operating officer, the treasurer and the chief financial officer. Others may
be in a position to exercise substantial control over the Corporation if the facts
D b.
and circumstances justify such a conclusion.
The term “Excess Benefit” means the amount by which the value of the economic
benefit provided by the Corporation directly or indirectly to or for the use of a
Disqualified Person exceeds the consideration received from the Disqualified
Person. In other words, an “Excess Benefit” occurs if the Disqualified Person
receives better economic terms than the Corporation when they engage in a
transaction.
c. The term “Excess Benefit Transaction” means any transaction in which an
economic benefit is provided by the Corporation directly or indirectly to or for the
use of any Disqualified Person, if the value of the economic benefit provided
exceeds the value of the consideration, including services, received for providing
such benefit. In other words, an “Excess Benefit Transaction” is a transaction
with economic terms that benefit a Disqualified Person at the expense of the
Corporation.
d. The term “Fixed Payment” means a payment made in exchange for the provision
of specified services or property, the amount of which is specified in a contract or
determined by a fixed formula specified in a contract. A Fixed Payment may
include an amount that depends upon specified future contingencies or events,
including revenues generated by the Corporation, provided that no person is
permitted to exercise discretion when calculating the amount thereof or
determining whether or not to make such payment.
Section 3. General Rule. The Corporation intends to avoid any Excess Benefit
Transaction whereby Excess Benefit is bestowed upon a Disqualified Person, as all these terms
AF
are defined. Transactions which present the risk of bestowing Excess Benefit will be
scrupulously avoided. When a potential risk is identified, the procedures set forth below should
be followed to manage the identified risk.
Section 4. Procedures For Establishing A Rebuttable Presumption That A
Transaction Is Not An Excess Benefit Transaction. Pursuant to the Regulations issued under
T
Code Section 4958, a rebuttable presumption that a transaction is not an Excess Benefit
Transaction may be established. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) will
endeavor to establish the foregoing presumption by reviewing transactions which raise the risk of
Excess Benefit. Persons having a conflict of interest will be excluded from this decision making
process. If necessary, a subcommittee which may include directors as well as others who are
free of conflict of interest may be formed for this purpose. The Board will accomplish this by
complying with the following procedures whenever a potential risk is identified:
a. The transaction shall be approved in advance by the Corporation’s Board, a
R committee of the Board, or other parties authorized by the Board to act on its
behalf (to the extent permitted by state law) composed entirely of individuals who
do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction (the “Decision
Making Body”).
D i. A person has a conflict of interest if that person:
(1)
(2)
is a Disqualified Person (or a family member thereof) that is
participating in or economically benefiting from the transaction at
issue;
is in an employment relationship subject to the direction or control
of a Disqualified Person (or a family member thereof) that is
participating in or economically benefiting from the transaction at
issue;
(3) receives compensation subject to approval by a Disqualified
Person (or a family member thereof) that is participating in or
2
economically benefiting from the transaction at issue;
(4) has a material financial interest affected by the transaction; or
(5) has previously received, or anticipates receiving, an economic
benefit through a transaction approved, or to be approved, by a
Disqualified Person (or a family member thereof) that is
participating in or economically benefiting from the transaction at
issue.
b. The Decision Making Body shall obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to the
comparability of the terms of the transaction prior to making its decision.
i. The Decision Making Body has appropriate comparability data if,
considering the knowledge and expertise of its members, it has sufficient
information to determine that the transaction in its entirety is reasonable or
AF
at fair market value.
ii. Relevant information with respect to a compensation transaction includes:
(1) compensation paid by similar organizations for functionally
comparable positions;
iii.
T
(2)
(3)
(4)
the availability of similar services within the geographic area;
current compensation surveys performed by independent firms;
and
written offers from competing entities for the services of the
Disqualified Person.
If the Corporation’s annual gross receipts are less than one million dollars,
the Corporation will have considered appropriate comparability data as to
a compensation arrangement if it has data on compensation paid by three
R iv.
comparable organizations in the same or similar communities for similar
services.
Relevant information with respect to a property transaction includes:
D
c.
(1)
(2)
current independent appraisals; and
offers received in a competitive and open bidding process.
The Decision Making Body shall adequately document the basis for its
determination concurrently with making that decision.
i. Adequate documentation must include:
(1) the terms of the transaction approved;
(2) the date the transaction is approved;
(3) the members of the Decision Making Body present during debate
3
and who participated in voting;
(4) the comparability data obtained and relied upon and how it was
obtained; and
(5) any actions taken by anyone on the Decision Making Body who
had a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction.
In the event the Corporation wishes to establish the foregoing presumption with respect
to a payment which is not a Fixed Payment, the Corporation will ensure that the procedures
described above have been satisfied only after the exact amount of such payment has been
determined, or a fixed formula for calculating the payment has been specified.
To the extent additional guidance is needed by the Decision Making Body in its
deliberations, the Regulations under Code Section 4958 and/or legal counsel may be consulted
for insight and guidance.
Section 5.
AF
Rules Relating To Compensation For Services. If the Corporation
intends to compensate a Disqualified Person for services rendered to the Corporation, the
Decision Making Body shall clearly indicate its intent to treat the economic benefit as
compensation for services by providing written substantiation that is contemporaneous with the
payment of the compensation. In addition to the substantiation required by Section 4c., the
T
Decision Making Body shall develop the following written substantiation with respect to
compensation payments to a Disqualified Person:
a.
b.
The Corporation shall report the economic benefit given to the Disqualified
Person as compensation on an original Federal tax information return (e.g., Form
990, Form W-2, or Form 1099); or
The Corporation shall reflect its intent that the economic benefit be considered
compensation for services through:
R i.
ii.
An approved written employment or consulting contract executed on or
before the date of the compensation payment; or
Written resolutions of the Decision Making Body indicating that it
D approved the compensation payment for services on or before the date of
the payment.
