There can be no assurance that acts of corruption will not occur or be alleged in respect of any of our activities or those of our current or past affiliates. We maintain a Business Partner Code of Conduct and attempt to obtain assurances from third parties, through contractual and other legal obligations, that they also will comply with anti -corruptionlaws applicable to them and to us.
