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 such action as it considers appropriate, including disciplinary and corrective action if warranted.”
