They then formed SEKO Messenger, Inc. and bought numerous messenger companies in the Chicagoland area.

SECTION 1 SEKO’S CORE VALUES

SEKO is committed to creating a positive and fulfilling work environment and recognizes our employees’ need for a healthy work-life balance. To this end, all employees are expected to abide by SEKO’s Core Values of: Respect, Customer Focus, Integrity, Teamwork, and Work Hard/Play Hard. SECTION 2 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY SEKO is an equal opportunity employer and its policy is to promote equal employment opportunity. This means SEKO will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, sexual preference, mental or physical disability, or any other status protected by law. Equal employment opportunity will be extended to all persons, in all aspects of the employer-employee relationship, including recruitment, hiring, upgrading, training, promotion, transfer, discipline, reductions in force and termination. SECTION 3 HARASSMENT

SEKO believes that our employees should be able to work in an atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. Therefore, it is our policy to prohibit all types of discrimination and harassment, including, but not limited to, discrimination or harassment based on: race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, sexual preference, disability, handicap or any other category protected by law. This policy extends to each and every level of our operations. Accordingly, discrimination or harassment - whether by a fellow employee, a contractor, a visitor, a guest or a member of management - will not be tolerated. Activities of this nature are unlawful and serve no legitimate purpose - they have a disruptive effect on your ability to perform your job and they undermine the integrity of the employment relationship. Harassment is verbal or physical conduct relating to an individual’s race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, sexual preference or disability when this conduct: (i) has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment; (ii) has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance; or (iii) otherwise adversely

affects an individual’s employment opportunities. Some examples of conduct that may constitute prohibited harassment include: slurs, jokes, cartoons, stereotypes, statements, etc. based upon categories protected by law. Specifically, acts considered to constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: (i) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment; (ii) an individual’s submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for an employment decision affecting that individual; or (iii) the purpose or the effect of such conduct is to substantially interfere with the affected individual’s work performance or to create an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Some examples of unwelcome behavior that can be construed as sexual harassment include, but are not limited to: sexual advances, propositions, sexually suggestive gestures, sexual jokes, touching, physical assault, sexually explicit or suggestive objects or pictures, references to a person’s body parts and/or sexually explicit conversation. We take allegations of discrimination and harassment very seriously.

7

If you believe that you are the target of discrimination or harassment, you should do the following:

(i) If possible, document or otherwise record each incident of alleged discrimination or harassment, including the date, time, place, what was said or done, and the surrounding circumstances.

(ii) Clearly and directly communicate to the offending individual that his/her conduct is unwelcome, and request that the offensive behavior stop.

(iii) At the same time, you should immediately bring the matter to the attention of your manager. If your manager is somehow involved in the discrimination/harassment, or if you are uncomfortable talking to him or her, you should report this matter to your manager’s manager, the Human Resources Department, any Vice President, any Chief Executive, or the President. If you believe that you have been deprived of any job benefit or that you have been threatened, you should immediately report it to one of the individuals listed above. We will protect the confidentiality of discrimination/harassment allegations to the extent possible and appropriate under the circumstances. We will actively investigate all discrimination/harassment complaints, and if it is determined that discrimination or harassment has occurred, management will take appropriate disciplinary action against the offending party, up to and including termination.

SECTION 5 C-TPAT

SEKO is committed to fulfilling its responsibilities as a participant in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) program operated by the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). C-TPAT is a voluntary program open to certain members of the international trade community, through which SEKO agrees to undertake specific responsibilities related to supply chain security. In exchange for voluntarily taking on these responsibilities, SEKO and SEKO’s customers receive certain benefits relating to their roles in the import process. Each employee has a general responsibility to support SEKO’s participation in this status. For additional information regarding the C-TPAT program, please contact SEKO’s Compliance Department.

SEKO Representatives MAY NOT directly or indirectly give, offer, promise, make or facilitate the making of payments of anything of value (monetary or otherwise) to (i) a U.S. or foreign official to induce that official to affect any government act or decision in a manner that will assist SEKO Representatives to obtain or retain business or any business advantage or violate the Anti-Corruption Laws, including, but not limited to, Facilitating Payments or (ii) any employee, shareholder, officer, director, manager or agent of any other person for any improper purpose.

SECTION 7 GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

any gift must be minimal in value and bear the company logo (i.e. article of SEKO clothing, pin, marketing materials, etc.). In addition, special care must be taken in entertaining Government Officials since, like receiving gifts, entertaining has the potential to be seen as a bribe. (vi) Research local laws prior to giving or receiving any gift to ensure you are in full compliance and will not violate any local law. If you violate such law(s) you may be held liable in contempt of the law as well as fines associated with such. There is also the possibility you may lose the business/ service of such client/customer. (vii) Use common sense and good judgment in determining the value of any gifts/entertainment you are giving or receiving while conducting company business. (viii) Any entertainment should not be extravagant Entertainment should not be at a venue that would be embarrassing to SEKO if disclosed publically. SEKO Representatives are obligated to keep books, records, and accounts that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions and disposition of SEKO assets, gifts, and entertainment expenses. In the event that you have questions regarding this policy and/or whether a Gift or Entertainment offer might be appropriate, you should escalate your concern to your direct manager or supervisor. In addition, you may always contact any of the following individuals for direct guidance and/or to report violations of this policy: Senior Director of Compliance is Sandra Scott, sandra.scott@sekologistics.com ; Chief Compliance Officer is James Gagne, james.gagne@sekologistics.com ; General Counsel, Vice President is Char Dalton, char.dalton@sekologistics.com . SEKOwill protect the confidentiality of your questions and subject matter to the extent possible and appropriate under the circumstances. If you feel uncomfortable reporting a violation under your name, youmay make the report anonymously via SEKO’s Confidential Reporting Hotline (see SEKO Anonymous Hotline Policy at www. sekologistics.com ). SEKOwill actively investigate all inquiries under this policy, and if it is determined that a violation has occurred, SEKOwill take appropriate disciplinary action against the offending party - up to and including discharge of the employee or termination of the agreement with such SEKO Representative. SEKOwill not take or permit retaliation against any person who has complained in good faith about a potential violation of this policy, or who otherwise participated in an investigation of such inquiries. or lavish and should be done in good taste and occur at an appropriate business venue.

SEKO recognizes that business gifts and entertainment on a modest scale are commonly used to build goodwill and strengthen working relationships among business associates. Providing or accepting occasional company mementos, meals, tickets to sporting and other events may be appropriate in certain circumstances. However, if offers of gifts, entertainment, etc. are frequent or of substantial value, they may create the appearance of, or an actual, conflict of interest or illicit payment. SEKO has developed this policy to help employees make the right decisions when providing or accepting gifts or entertainment, while conducting business on behalf of SEKO. This policy applies to all divisions of SEKO and SEKO Representatives worldwide. The following are important rules and guidelines to follow regarding gifts, meals, and entertainment: (i) Never give or receive anything of value to influence a decision or to obtain special or preferential treatment. Gifts that are bribes, payoffs or kickbacks (i.e. gifts given in order (ii) Cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards, gift certificates, checks) are never acceptable business gifts. If at any given time a gift card/ or cash is accepted, it could be considered as a bribe and could at the very least lend itself to the appearance that the employee’s business judgment may be affected. (iii) Frequent gifts (such as meals, promotional items) to the same individual may be inappropriate. (iv) Be cognizant and aware of the customer’s Code of Conduct and potential policies on gifts to obtain or retain business, or to secure an improper advantage) are never appropriate. as some organizations prohibit the receipt of gifts altogether. Many Codes of Conduct and corporate policies that deal with gift and hospitality acceptance contain a general prohibition against accepting any benefit that could lead to an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Violating our customer’s Codes of Conduct could jeopardize and harm business relationships. (v) Be aware that special rules apply in the federal contractor and public sector work. Government or Public Sector servants are not to accept any gifts, hospitality or other benefits that may have a real, apparent or potential influence on their objectivity in carrying out their official duties, or that may place them under obligation to the donor. A general rule of thumb in dealing with Government or Public Sector servants are that

SECTION 8 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE It is the policy of SEKO to promote a safe environment for its employees. SEKO is committed to working with its employees to maintain a work environment free from violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior. While this kind of conduct is not generally associated with companies like ours, no company is immune. Violence, threats, harassment, intimidation and other disruptive behavior in our workplace will not be tolerated; that is, all reports of incidents will be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately. Such behavior can include oral or written statements, gestures, or expressions that communicate a direct or indirect threat of physical harm. Individuals who commit such acts may be removed from the premises and may be subject to disciplinary action, criminal penalties, or both. SECTION 9 ANONYMOUS HOTLINE SEKO conducts its business ethically and in compliance with all laws in the countries where SEKO does business - including all state, federal and international laws. In short, we are committed to always doing the right thing. For that reason, we have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy as well as introduced an Anonymous Hotline specifically designed to be part of an effective program to prevent and detect - as well as report possible violations of law and conduct. SEKO encourages its employees, agents, and worldwide partners to raise concerns that will help us with our commitment to ethical, moral and legal business conduct. This policy aims to provide an avenue for employees to raise concerns and reassurance that they will be protected from reprisals or victimization for whistleblowing in good faith. However, if an employee feels that their anonymity is not required then they should follow our existing grievance procedure.

We need your cooperation to implement this policy effectively and maintain a safe working environment. Do not ignore violent, threatening, harassing, intimidating, or other disruptive behavior. If you observe or experience such behavior by anyone on company premises - whether he or she is a company employee or not - report it immediately to your Human Resources Department, management, or the local authorities. The incident will be investigated and appropriate action taken. If you or someone else in the office is feeling unsafe or threatened by another employee, remove yourself from the situation if possible, call law enforcement immediately, and report the incident.

The Anonymous Reporting Hotline is intended to cover serious concerns and/or sensitive issues that could have a large impact on SEKO, such as actions that: • May lead to incorrect financial reporting; • Are unlawful; • Are not in line with company policy, including the Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy; or • Otherwise amount to serious improper conduct.

E-Mail: reports@lighthouse-services.com (must include company name with report) Fax: Fax alternative for written documents: 215-689-3885 (must include company name with report) Safeguards Confidentiality Reporters to the hotline will have the ability to remain anonymous if they choose. Please note that the information provided by you may be the basis of an internal and/or external investigation into the issue you are reporting and your anonymity will be protected to the extent possible by law. However, your identity may become known during the course of the investigation because of the information you have provided. Reports are submitted by Lighthouse, the Anonymous Hotline reporting service, to SEKO or its designee, and all reports will be investigated at the sole discretion of our company. Timing Keep in mind that the earlier a concern is expressed, the easier it is for us to take action. Evidence Although you are not expected to prove the truth of an allegation, the employee submitting a report needs to demonstrate in their hotline report that there are sufficient grounds for concern. How Reports will be Handled The action taken will depend on the nature of the concern. A number of SEKO nominated individuals or designees will each receive a copy of the report and follow-up reports on actions taken by the company. Initial inquiries will be made to determine whether an investigation is appropriate, and the form that it should take. Some concerns may be resolved by agreed upon action without the need for an investigation. Harassment or victimization of individuals submitting hotline reports will not be tolerated. Malicious allegations may result in disciplinary action.

Feedback to Reporter Whether reported directly to SEKO personnel or through the hotline, the individual submitting a report will be given the opportunity to receive follow- up on their concern: • Acknowledging that the concern was received; • Indicating how the matter will be dealt with; • Giving an estimate of the time that it will take for a final response; • Telling them whether initial inquiries have been made; • Telling them whether further investigations will follow, and if not, why not. Further Information The amount of contact between the individual submitting a report and the body investigating the concern will depend on the nature of the issue, the clarity of information provided, and whether the employee remains accessible for follow-up. Further information may be sought from the reporter. Outcome of an Investigation At the discretion of the company and subject to legal and other constraints the reporter may be entitled to receive information about the outcome of an investigation.

SECTION 10 CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS STATEMENT I. PURPOSE.

SEKO has a strong and unwavering commitment to promoting honest and ethical business conduct by all employees, and other parties associated with SEKO. To effectuate SEKO’s commitment to these principles, this Code of Conduct and Ethics Statement (hereafter referred to as the “Code of Conduct”) serves to: (1) emphasize SEKO’s commitment to ethics and compliance with the law; (2) set forth expectations for the adherence to basic standards of ethical and legal behavior; (3) provide reporting procedures for known or suspected ethical or legal violations; and (4) help prevent and detect wrongdoing. The Code of Conduct is an addition to, and supplements the other policies and procedures which comply with the law. However, if a local custombusiness practice, standard of dealing, or other non-legally binding authority conflicts with this Code of Conduct, this Code of Conduct supersedes that local practice or standard of dealing and youmust comply with this Code of Conduct. SEKO’s standard business practice is to distribute and/or make available copies of the Code of Conduct to its employees, independent contractors, suppliers and all other parties associated with SEKO. The aforementioned parties are required to read the Code of Conduct and to understand it. Partners, Agents, and all other separate entities who have an affiliation with SEKO are urged to have similar policies and WE ARE COMMITTED TO ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING

procedures in force to secure compliance with the principles of business integrity and ethics as set forth in this Code of Conduct. All parties are expected to apply this Code of Conduct and to apply common sense with the objective of reaching full compliance. All employees and affiliated parties are responsible for their own actions. All claims of violations of this Code of Conduct will be investigated by appropriate company personnel. Those who violate the standards of this Code of Conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, and in the case of Partners and Agents, suspension or termination of their contract or agreement with SEKO. In all instances, appropriate legal action may be taken if a violation is discovered. The absence of a specific guideline, practice, or instruction covering a particular situation does not relieve one from exercising the highest ethical standards applicable to the circumstances. In all cases, parties associated with SEKO are expected to make decisions prudently and seek guidance within the Human Resources and/or Compliance Department or direct management in cases of uncertainty.

You are encouraged to report any possible violation by sending an e-mail to: ethics.sekologistics.com

Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest exists when a person’s private interest interferes in any way with the interest of the Company. Employees and all other parties who are working on SEKO’s behalf are prohibited frommaking decisions in the course of employment or in their representation of SEKO that would allow them to give preference or favor to a customer in exchange for anything of personal benefit to themselves or their friends and families. Making these types of decisions could interfere with an employee’s ability to make judgments solely in SEKO’s best interest. Furthermore, employees, officers, and directors are prohibited from taking corporate opportunities and misappropriating those opportunities for themselves or for another third party without SEKO’s consent. Moreover, no employee or party affiliated with SEKO may use corporate property or information for personal gain and no employee may compete with SEKO directly or indirectly during their employment with the Company. Employees and all affiliates owe a duty to SEKO to advance SEKO’s interest when the opportunity to do so arises. c. Bribes, Gifts, Entertainment, etc. Employees and all other parties affiliated with SEKO are expressly prohibited from offering or soliciting, directly or indirectly, any special treatment or favor in return for anything of economic value or the promise or expectation of future value or gain. This prohibition also prevents employees and all other parties from giving economic and non-economic benefits to the employees, or customers of suppliers and all other parties from whom SEKO solicits business.

d. Anti-Boycott Policy In the United States, Congress has promulgated laws and regulations that makes it illegal for any U.S. Citizen or American based business (incorporated and unincorporated) to participate in any foreign boycott not sanctioned by the U.S. Government. In addition to prohibiting all unsanctioned foreign boycotts, it is also illegal to engage in the following: • Agreeing to refuse or actual refusal to do business with or in Israel, or with blacklisted companies. • Agreeing to or actually discriminating against other persons based on their race, religion, sex, national origin or nationality. • Agreeing to furnish or actually furnishing information about business relationships with or in Israel, or with blacklisted companies. • Agreements to furnish or actual furnishing of information about the race, religion, sex, or national origin of another person. The U.S. has a strong interest in ensuring that U.S. Citizens and U.S. businesses are not helping to effectuate foreign policies that are contrary to U.S. policies. Therefore, all SEKO employees, and representatives must refrain from participating in any unsanctioned foreign boycott. Violations of U.S. anti-boycott will not only result in the termination of relations with SEKO, but may also be subjected to criminal penalties.

e. Reporting Violations All employees and parties associated with SEKO are responsible for compliance with this Code of Conduct. In the area of ethics, legality and propriety, all parties have an obligation to SEKO to be alert to possible violations of the Code of Conduct in any business transaction and are encouraged to report such violations promptly to SEKO Corporate Ethics, in writing, to the following email: ethics@sekologistics.com Employees and all other parties representing SEKO will also be expected to cooperate in any type of investigation. In addition, any Employee, Partner, and/or Agent who is convicted of a felony, should make this known to SEKO Corporate Ethics (unless otherwise prohibited or protected by law from doing so). In all cases when there is questionable activity involving the Code of Conduct, or other misconduct, an investigation will be conducted to determine appropriate action. Whenever possible, SEKO will keep confidential the identity of all employees and other parties. SEKO’s Confidentiality Policy will keep confidential all information about or against whom allegations of violations are brought, until it has been determined that a violation has occurred. Similarly, whenever possible, SEKO will keep confidential the identity of anyone reporting a possible violation. Retaliation against any employee for reporting a suspected violation is strictly prohibited.
