Department. The local Human Resources Department, upon being advised of this information, must immediately inform the Company’s Legal
Department at the Company’s headquarters in Port Washington, New York.
In addition, all Company Representatives have an obligation to discuss any concern they have with regard to the application of these policies to
any conduct in which they participate, are asked to participate, or become aware of. Normally, such concerns should be brought to the attention
of the immediate supervisor of the Company Representative. The Company is aware that in certain situations it may be unrealistic to discuss
concerns with a supervisor and encourages any Company Representative to contact any of the following in such circumstances (all of whom can
be reached at the Company’s headquarters in Port Washington, New York).
Richard Leeds - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Larry Reinhold - Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Curt Rush - General Counsel
Robert D. Rosenthal - Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors

Anonymous Complaint Hotline:
The Company has implemented an anonymous reporting system to receive and address complaints regarding improper or questionable
accounting practices. (Examples of improper accounting practices include improper recording of sales transactions, inventory, accounts
receivable, accounts payable or other revenue, expense or asset items.) The Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees this
process. The Company has set up an anonymous Telephone Hotline to receive such complaints. In order to maintain complete anonymity for
callers, the Company is utilizing the services of an independent company called Ethicspoint to administer the hotline.
The system is easy to use. Simply phone the 24 hour toll-free Hotline Number:
An Ethicspoint compliance specialist will guide you through the questions to complete the report. The reports will be available only to specific
individuals in the Company who are charged with evaluating and, when appropriate, investigating the violation. The system is designed so that
no report is ever shared with implicated parties.
The Company believes this hotline will be an effective tool in reducing losses from improper accounting, fraud and similar practices and
therefore help to protect its financial strength. If you are uncertain if a practice violates Company policy or is illegal, please call the hotline. The
Company would rather be informed of a potential problem than let it go unchecked. Should you have any questions regarding the
