 Regarding Related Party Transactions Pursuant to the Company’s Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”), unless approved or ratified by the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or a majority of the directors of the Company not having an interest in a Related Party Transaction (as defined below) (each an “Authorizing Body”), no: (a) employee, officer or director of the Company; (b) member of the immediate family of any employee, officer or director of the Company; (c) entity in which an employee, officer or director of the Company has an economic interest of more than 5% or a controlling interest; or (d) affiliate of any of the foregoing (each a “Related Party”) may (i) enter into any transaction with the Company or any of its subsidiaries involving the acquisition or sale of any of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ assets or other property; (ii) enter into any transaction involving a loan to or from the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (iii) enter into any other transaction with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “Related Party Transaction”). A Related Party Transaction entered into without pre-approval of an Authorizing Body will not be deemed to violate the Code of Conduct, or be invalid or unenforceable, so long as the Related Party Transaction is, as promptly as reasonably practical after it is entered into, brought to and ratified by an Authorizing Body. Every Related Party Transaction to which the Company is a party will be deemed to include as a condition that it be approved in accordance with the Code of Conduct. A Related Party Transaction or categories of Related Party Transactions may be reviewed in advance and pre-approved in advance by an Authorizing Body. If a Related Party Transaction or a series of Related Party Transactions will be ongoing, an Authorizing Body may establish guidelines for the Company’s management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the Related Party. Thereafter, an Authorizing Body will periodically review and assess the ongoing relationships with the Related Party. Any material amendment, renewal or extension of a Related Party Transaction which has been previously reviewed and/or approved under the Code of Conduct will be subject to subsequent review and/or approval under the Code of Conduct. 58
