3. Conflicts of Interest

        You must avoid any personal activity, investment or association that could interfere or even appear to interfere with your good judgment concerning SAIC's best interests.

A conflict of interest occurs when your private interests interfere—or even appear to interfere—with the interests of SAIC. You must conduct the Company's business in an honest and ethical manner, including the handling or avoidance of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. You must never act in a manner that could cause you to lose your independence and objectivity or that could adversely affect the confidence of our customers and suppliers or your fellow employees in the integrity of the Company.

        Conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to the examples set forth below. Although we cannot list every conceivable conflict, you must disclose any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest to the SAIC's General Counsel or Audit Committee for proper consideration. If you are not sure whether a transaction or relationship may present a conflict of interest, you should consult with SAIC's General Counsel.

Improper Personal Benefits—Conflicts of interest arise when you or a member of your family receives improper personal benefits as a result of your position with the Company.

Similarly, you may not accept improper personal benefits from any entity that does or seeks to do business with us.



•

Financial Interests in Other Businesses—Neither you nor your immediate family members may have an ownership interest in any other enterprise if that interest compromises or appears to compromise your loyalty to the Company.

Similarly, you should not own an interest in a significant supplier or other companies that do business with the Company where your interest could create even the appearance of a conflict.
