In addition to these rules, the House Senate, <strong>and</strong> Executive Branch each have<br />
their own gift rules which significantly limit the gifts that government <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>and</strong><br />
employees may accept from Company team members.<br />
Never <strong>of</strong>fer or provide gifts, gratuities or entertainment to government <strong>of</strong>ficials or<br />
employees without prior approval <strong>of</strong> the Legal Department or Compliance Officer.<br />
Your department may have additional policies on interacting with government<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficials. Make sure you know <strong>and</strong> follow these policies.<br />
Corporate Opportunities<br />
Team members owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when<br />
the opportunity to do so arises. Accordingly, team members are prohibited from:<br />
• Taking for themselves opportunities that properly belong to <strong>Micron</strong> or are<br />
discovered through the use <strong>of</strong> Company property, information or position;<br />
• Using Company property, information, or position for personal gain; or<br />
• Competing with the Company.<br />
Fair Dealing<br />
Team members are expected to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers,<br />
competitors <strong>and</strong> other team members, in accordance with applicable laws, rules<br />
<strong>and</strong> regulations <strong>and</strong> Company policies. Team members are expected to avoid taking<br />
unfair advantage <strong>of</strong> the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors <strong>and</strong> other team<br />
members through manipulation, concealment, abuse <strong>of</strong> privileged or confidential<br />
information, misrepresentation <strong>of</strong> material facts or other unfair practices.<br />
Participation In Outside Organizations<br />
Team members who participate in community groups, schools, non-pr<strong>of</strong>it boards, or<br />
on the board <strong>of</strong> directors <strong>of</strong> other organizations outside <strong>of</strong> their <strong>Micron</strong> job duties<br />
should underst<strong>and</strong> that, in this role, they do not represent the Company nor do<br />
they have the ability to bind the Company to any obligation with the organization,<br />
unless previously approved in writing by an <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> the Company. Team members<br />
should relay this information to the outside organization to avoid confusion <strong>and</strong><br />
misunderst<strong>and</strong>ing where appropriate. If an outside organization wishes to receive<br />
<strong>Micron</strong> resources, support, or other Company involvement beyond the team<br />
member’s participation, that organization or the team member should e-mail the<br />
<strong>Micron</strong> Foundation at mtf@micron.com with those requests.<br />
In the event a team member is asked to serve on a board <strong>of</strong> directors <strong>of</strong> an outside<br />
organization, <strong>and</strong> the request for participation arises primarily as a result <strong>of</strong> the team<br />
member’s service with the Company, compensation paid to the team member for<br />
such service should be disclosed to the Compliance Officer <strong>and</strong> may be required<br />
to be forfeited to the Company. Any board seat <strong>of</strong> a publicly-held company or a<br />
customer or supplier <strong>of</strong> <strong>Micron</strong> <strong>of</strong>fered to a <strong>Micron</strong> team member must be reviewed<br />
<strong>and</strong> approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer before acceptance. Team<br />
members should follow the Company’s time away from work policies for time served<br />
on boards on a personal basis.<br />
