• Outside Employment or Activities with a Competitor
Simultaneous employment with, or serving as a director of a competitor of the Company is strictly prohibited, as is any activity that is intended to, or that you
should reasonably expect to advance a competitor's interests. You may not market products or services in competition with the Company's current or potential
business activities. It is your responsibility to consult with the Chief Executive Officer (or, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, consult with the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors) to determine whether a planned activity will compete with any of the Company's business activities before you pursue
the activity in question.
• Outside Employment or Activities with a Customer/Client or Supplier
Without the prior written approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, you may not be a customer/client or be employed by, serve as a director
of, or represent a customer/client of the Company. Similarly, without the prior written approval of the Audit Committee, you may not be a supplier or be
employed by, serve as a director of, or represent a supplier to the Company. Nor may you accept money or benefits of any kind from a third party as
compensation or payment for any advice or services that you may provide to a client, supplier or anyone else in connection with its business with the
Company.
• Charitable, Government and Other Outside Activities
The Company encourages all employees to participate in projects and causes that further the welfare of our local communities. However, you must obtain the
prior written approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors before serving as a director or trustee of any charitable, not-for-profit, for-profit, or
other entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not need to obtain Audit Committee approval for your service as a director on up to three boards on
which you serve as of the effective date of this Code of Ethics, provided that you notify the Board of Directors of such directorships. Similarly, you must
obtain the prior written approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors before running for election or seeking appointment to any government-
related position.
• Family or Household Members Working in the Industry
If your spouse or significant other, your children, parents, or in-laws, or someone else with whom you have a familial or household relationship is, or is to be,
a competitor, supplier or customer/client of the Company or is, or is to be, employed by one, you must disclose the situation to the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors so that the Company may assess the nature and extent of any concern and how it can be resolved. You must carefully guard against
inadvertently disclosing Company confidential information and being involved in decisions on behalf of the Company that involve such other company.
