The amended Corporate Ethics Policy, now called the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (as amended, the "Code"), provides greater clarification and emphasis regarding the procedures for reporting and investigating violations of the Code and adds, among other things, new provisions regarding the safeguarding of company information from unauthorized access, the proper use of our electronic communications mediums, the prohibition against insider trading and document retention compliance.
