8. Code of Conduct as Part of an Overall Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program An effective code of conduct is one of the most impactful parts of any corporate compliance and ethics program. It also helps to satisfy the first hallmark set by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which recommends the “promotion of an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law [through the establishment of] standards and procedures to prevent and detect criminal conduct”.

9. Role of Code of Conduct To educate directors, officers and employees about the corporate values, ethical standards, Company policies and laws and regulations that they must comply with.

10. Benefits of an Effective Code of Conduct First step in creating an ethical culture Protects your company’s reputation and bottom line Prevents lawsuits and investigations Complies with The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), The Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations, as amended in 2004, and the NASDAQ and NYSE listing standards, adopted in 2003.

11. Mandates for Code of Conduct SOX: Public companies must disclose whether they have a code of ethics (or code of conduct) that applies to key officers. Companies that have not adopted a code must explain why not. Federal Sentencing Guidelines: Amendments in 2004 provide for reduced penalties for companies that have “effective programs to prevent and detect violations of law”. Establishment of an effective code of conduct is one part of establishing an effective compliance and risk program. NYSE and NASDAQ Listing Standards: Require publicly listed companies to adopt a code of conduct for directors, officers and employees. Slightly different standards for each exchange.

12. SOX Guidelines Meant to deter wrongdoing and promote: Honest and ethical conduct Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations Prompt internal reporting of violations of the code of conduct Accountability for adherence to the code of conduct

13. Items to be Covered in a Code of Conduct Core Values Financial recordkeeping and reporting Unlawful harassment and discrimination Antitrust (fair competition) Anti-corruption (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) Reporting (hotline) Insider Trading Proper use of Intellectual Property Privacy Confidentiality Conflicts of Interest Gifts and Entertainment Whistleblower protection/non-retaliation policies Consequences of violating the code of conduct Records retention and management Additional company specific risk items

14. Code of Conduct Administration Post the code of conduct on your company website and disclose its availability in your company’s annual report (if a listed company) Provide an independent hotline for reporting, including anonymous reporting, of suspected violations of the code of conduct Regularly remind employees, officers and directors of the various ways to report suspected violations of the code of conduct Annual acknowledgment by employees, officers and directors of compliance with code of conduct Handling of investigations

15. Ensuring Code of Conduct Effectiveness Regularly review the code of conduct Conduct training on its subject matter to provide additional knowledge to employees May also provide additional liability protection to the company Regularly monitor and evaluate its effectiveness

22. Culture is Key A Recent Study of ~500,000 employees world wide by the Corporate Executive Board* found that integrity has a tangible impact on corporate performance.

Foley Lardner LLP report: Board Oversight of Corporate Culture 2007 National Directors Institute “... your corporate culture runs your business 90 percent of the time-- especially when you're not there, and is an important ingredient in the company's performance “ And, while … “Corporate culture is the responsibility of the CEO “….

34. Suggestion 1: Translate Lawyer Talk into Business Talk Stop talking like you’re in court or sharing war stories with your colleagues. Your board does not want to know the name of the case and they don’t care that this Circuit is more liberal than that Circuit. You’ll lose them quickly if you speak on that level. But have that detail available, perhaps in handouts, because there is always one person who will want to drill down… you can satisfy that person, and your personal need to obsess over details, with a written summary of the particulars that support your recommendations For Further Information, Contact: mmeltzer@sirota.com

35. Suggestion 2: Relate Your Comments to Strategy and Mission Compliance is not only about risk mitigation and staying out of jail; how does creating a company known to be ethical and in fact engaging in ethical behaviors further the mission and strategy of the organization…. How does it fit into your organization’s values? Rather than: “is this a good or bad behavior” Consider: “Is this behavior productive?” Productive for the organization (for example): Consonant with the mission Creating sustainability (using long term thinking) Enabling Transparency Inclusive, Diverse treatment of others Honesty and Integrity For Further Information, Contact: mmeltzer@sirota.com

36. Suggestion 3: Get Practical Recommend actual practices and policies that translate the legal principals that you have made relevant to mission, vision and values, into practical measures that are actionable by the board Have a proposed plan ready to present And a process to implement your recommendations… Be ready to discuss the budget implications. For Further Information, Contact: mmeltzer@sirota.com

37. Suggestion 4: Talk “Best Practices” Your board is likely to be comprised of senior leaders, in some cases who are on multiple boards and may be senior execs in their own companies. So be prepared to answer such questions as:  what do other companies of like size in our industry, region, organizational structure and situation do?  What would you consider “best practices” and  how do you know they are the best?
