A COVERED PERSON DISCLOSES IN WRITING TO THE COMMITTEE HIS OR HER KNOWLEDGE OF A PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN A RELATED PARTY (RELATED TO THE COVERED PERSON) AND THE ORGANIZATION. THE COVERED PERSON MAKES THIS DISCLOSURE AT HIS OR HER FIRST KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIBES HIS OR HER UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATED PARTY'S INTEREST IN THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT.

IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE RELEVANT FACTORS, THE COMMITTEE DETERMINES BY MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST, FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE, AND THEREFORE WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION MAY OR MAY NOT ENTER INTO SUCH TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. IF THE COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE A COVERED PERSON HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT INFORMS THE COVERED PERSON OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD THE COVERED PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF, AFTER HEARING THE COVERED PERSON'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE COVERED PERSON HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE COMMITTEE MAY AT ITS DISCRETION TAKE, OR RECOMMEND THAT THE ORGANIZATION TAKE, THE FOLLOWING MEASURES: - APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION INCLUDING RATIFYING OR NULLIFYING THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT; - APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE RELATED PARTY AND THE COVERED PERSON, INCLUDING FOR EXAMPLE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; AND - ANY OTHER ACTION THE COMMITTEE REASONABLY DEEMS TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION.
