This policy is described in the Company’s policy, reflecting a commitment to the Code of Conduct (the “Code”), as amended from time to time, which is applicable to all Associates.

Accordingly, the Company has adopted this Code of Ethics for its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Treasurer (the “Senior Executive and Financial Officers”). The principles and standards set forth in this Code of Ethics shall supplement the Company’s Code of Conduct, and the Senior Executive and Financial Officers must comply with both this Code of Ethics and that Code of Conduct. This Code of Ethics shall be approved annually by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Senior Executive and Financial Officers will exhibit and promote the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct, including through adherence to the following policies and procedures:

The Company’s Code of Conduct requires that all Associates avoid any activity or association that creates or appears to create a conflict between the Associate’s personal interests and the Company’s business interests. The Code of Conduct includes definitions of conflict-of-interest situations, and imposes requirements for the avoidance of conflicts of interest by all Company Associates. In addition to their compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code, the Senior Executive and Financial Officers shall (a) engage in only honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; and (b) avoid conflicts of interest, including making disclosure to the Company’s Executive Committee of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict. |
| • | Inform the Senior Director of Compliance & Ethics of (a) deviations in practice from policies and procedures governing honest and ethical behavior or (b) any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest. |
