PURPOSE

Molex Electronic Technologies LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Molex”) are committed to

conducting all affairs lawfully and with integrity. In part, this is demonstrated through our membership

in the Responsible Business Alliance. The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), formerly the

Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), Code of Conduct establishes standards to ensure

that working conditions in the electronics industry or industries in which electronics is a key

component and its supply chains are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that

business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically. This commitment

extends throughout our global organizations, no matter where in the world we do business.

Relationships with Suppliers (persons or entities who provide goods or services to Molex or who are

authorized to conduct business for or on behalf of Molex) who demonstrate they share this

commitment are a key part of Molex’s continued success. Suppliers are independent entities, but

their business practices and behavior can affect Molex; therefore, Molex expects Suppliers to hold

themselves to the highest legal and ethical standards. This MOLEX CODE OF CONDUCT FOR

SUPPLIERS (“Code”) sets forth key expectations for Suppliers, and Suppliers are expected to

ensure that all relevant individuals involved in work related to Molex, including subcontractors,

understand and comply with the Code.

The Code cannot cover every possible situation nor can it specifically address all of the laws or

business practices in the multiple locations in which Molex conducts business. We expect and

welcome questions about the Code and its interpretation.

This Code applies to you as a Supplier or collectively with others as “Suppliers”. Certain provisions of

this Code may be superseded by local laws or legal obligations. In addition, our relationships with

Suppliers are governed by contractual terms and conditions. If there are any conflicts between the

obligations provided in this Code and any of the terms and conditions in a contract, the obligations in

this Code will govern unless the contract specifically states otherwise. Molex reserves the right to

exercise all of its contractual and legal rights and remedies in the event of a violation of the law or of

this Code by a Supplier or any individual operating on a Supplier’s behalf. In addition, Molex has the

right to immediately terminate any contract with you if you are in violation of any of the obligations

under this Code.

In addition, based on a Supplier’s work location and role, local policies may apply. Please see your

local Molex contact to be sure you have received the appropriate information and training regarding

local policies, and be sure to seek clarification in the event of an apparent conflict between local

policies and this Code.

How the Code Applies

This Code is intended to be consistent with all applicable laws and legal obligations. In the event of

any inconsistency between this Code and any applicable law, the applicable law shall control.

For business operations outside the United States, Molex will adhere, and will require its Suppliers to

adhere, to laws of the relevant jurisdiction, as well as to U.S. laws having extraterritorial application.

If you believe there are inconsistencies between this Code and applicable law, you shall advise

Molex immediately.

This Code does not constitute a contract of employment, authorize a Supplier to conduct transactions

on behalf of Molex or provide assurance of a continued Supplier relationship for any individual or

entity.

Certain sections within this Code may not be relevant to particular Suppliers’ role; however, Suppliers

should familiarize themselves with the contents of the Code in the event their roles should change or

unexpected issues should arise.

SCOPE

All Suppliers are expected to comply with the Code in all their business dealings. Where a Supplier

uses a subcontractor (or makes use of a temporary labor agency), the expectation is that the Supplier

has issued the Code (or their own code for suppliers that incorporates the Code) to the subcontractor

and ensures that the subcontractor also complies with the Code.
