Appropriate response

Appropriate response means a response to an attorney regarding reported evidence of a material violation as a result of which the attorney reasonably believes:
(1) That no material violation, as defined in paragraph (i) of this section, has occurred, is ongoing, or is about to occur;
(2) That the issuer has, as necessary, adopted appropriate remedial measures, including appropriate steps or sanctions to stop any material violations that are ongoing, to prevent any material violation that has yet to occur, and to remedy or otherwise appropriately address any material violation that has already occurred and to minimize the likelihood of its recurrence; or
(3) That the issuer, with the consent of the issuer's board of directors, a committee thereof to whom a report could be made pursuant to ยง 205.3(b)(3), or a qualified legal compliance committee, has retained or directed an attorney to review the reported evidence of a material violation and either:
(i) Has substantially implemented any remedial recommendations made by such attorney after a reasonable investigation and evaluation of the reported evidence; or
(ii) Has been advised that such attorney may, consistent with his or her professional obligations, assert a colorable defense on behalf of the issuer (or the issuer's officer, director, employee, or agent, as the case may be) in any investigation or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to the reported evidence of a material violation.
