CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
This Code applies to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Senior Financial Management"). The obligations of this Code supplement, but do not replace, the Company's Code of Ethics Policy, which is applicable to employees of the Company generally.
Any person who has information concerning any violation of this Code by any member of the Senior Financial Management shall promptly bring such information to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company. If the General Counsel determines that there is a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the General Counsel to resolve the matter, he or she will refer the matter to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for resolution.
Violations of this Code may subject the employee to appropriate actions, such as censure, suspension or termination. Such actions shall be reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability for adherence to this Code.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors shall consider any request for a waiver of this Code and any amendments to this Code and all such waivers or amendments shall be disclosed promptly as required by law or Securities and Exchange Commission regulation.
