       HARASSMENT     NDIA is committed to providing a professional environment free from physical, psychological

                      limited to harassment based on ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, gender, or
                      sexual orientation. This policy applies to all participants and attendees at NDIA conferences,
                      meetings and events. Harassment includes offensive gestures and verbal comments, deliberate
                      intimidation, stalking, following, inappropriate photography and recording, sustained disruption
                      of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome attention. Participants
                      requested to cease harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately, and failure will
                      serve as grounds for revoking access to the NDIA event.

                      principles and practices. Visit NDIA.org/CodeOfConduct to review the full policy.

          ANTITRUST   The NDIA has a policy of strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. The antitrust
                      laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint
          STATEMENT
                      of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are
                      together at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in
                      informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other
                      terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of
                      markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers,
                      customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a
                      particular supplier, customer or third party.
