Code of Business Conduct and Ethics(Adopted by the Board.docxmary772
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
(Adopted by the Board of Directors on May 20, 2010)
Introduction
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every
issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all employees, directors and officers of Tesla Motors, Inc, (the
"Company"). All of our employees, directors and officers must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the
appearance of improper behavior. The Code should also be provided to and followed by the Company's agents and
representatives, including consultants.
If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law. If you have any questions about these conflicts, you
should ask your supervisor how to handle the situation.
Those who violate the standards in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of
employment. If you are in a situation which you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines
described in Section 14 of this Code.
1. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations
Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which this Company's ethical standards are built. All employees
must respect and obey the laws of the cities, states and countries in which we operate. Although not all employees are
expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors,
managers or other appropriate personnel.
If requested, the Company will hold information and training sessions to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations,
including insider-trading laws.
2. Conflicts of Interest
A "conflict of interest" exists when a person's private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of
the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make
it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee,
officer or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the
Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees and their family members may create conflicts of interest.
It is almost always a conflict of interest for a Company employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier.
You are not allowed to work for a competitor as a consultant or board member. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect
business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on our behalf. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a
matter of Company policy, except under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Conflicts of interest may not always be
clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with .

person acting for, or on behalf of, Pathway Group is responsible for maintaining the

employees or associated persons under the Bribery Act 2010. All employees and
associated persons are required to familiarise themselves and comply with this policy,
including any future updates that may be issued from time to time by Pathway Group.
The Bribery Act 2010 has been in force since 1 July 2011.
This policy covers:
• The main areas of liability under the Bribery Act 2010
• The responsibilities of employees and associated persons acting for, or on
behalf of Pathway Group
• The consequences of any breaches of this policy
Bribery Act 2010
Pathway Group is committed to complying with the Bribery Act 2010 in its business
activities in the UK.
Under the Bribery Act 2010, a bribe is a fi nancial or other type of advantage that is
off ered or requested with the:
• Intention of inducing or rewarding improper performance of a function or
activity; or
• Knowledge or belief that accepting such a reward would constitute the improper
performance of such a function or activity
A relevant function or activity includes public, state or business activities or any activity
performed in the course of a person’s employment, or on behalf of another company
or individual, where the person performing that activity is expected to perform it in
good faith, impartially, or in accordance with a position of trust.
A criminal off ence will be committed under the Bribery Act 2010 if:
2.
4. 3.
• An employee or associated person acting for, or on behalf of Pathway Group, off ers,
promises or gives a bribe to a foreign public offi cial with the intention of
infl uencing that offi cial in the performance of his/her duties (where local law does
not permit or require such infl uence)
• Pathway Group does not have the defence that it has adequate procedures in
place to prevent bribery by its employees or associated persons
All employees and associated persons are required to comply with this policy, in
accordance with the Bribery Act 2010
What is prohibited?
• Pathway Group prohibits employees or associated persons from off ering,
promising, giving, soliciting or accepting any bribe.
The bribe might be cash, a gift or other inducement to, or from, any person or
organisation, whether a public or government offi cial, offi cial of a state-controlled
industry, political party or a private person or company, regardless of whether the
employee or associated person is situated in the UK . The bribe might be made to
ensure that a person or Pathway Group improperly performs duties or functions
(for example, by not acting impartially or in good faith or in accordance with their
position of trust) to gain any commercial, contractual or regulatory advantage for
the organisation in either obtaining or maintaining Pathway Group business,
or to gain any personal advantage, fi nancial or otherwise, for the individual or
anyone connected with the individual
• This prohibition also applies to indirect contributions, payments or gifts made
in any manner as an inducement or reward for improper performance,
for example through consultants, contractors or sub-contractors, agents or
sub-agents, sponsors or sub-sponsors, joint-venture partners, advisors, customers,
suppliers or other third parties
Records
Employees and where applicable, associated persons, are required to take particular
care to ensure that all Pathway Group records are accurately maintained in relation
to any contracts or business activities, including fi nancial invoices and all payment
transactions with clients, suppliers and public offi cials.
Due diligence should be undertaken by employees and associated persons prior to
entering into any contract, arrangement or relationship with a potential supplier of
services, agent, consultant or representative. Employees and associated persons are
required to keep accurate, detailed and up-to-date records of all corporate hospitality,
entertainment or gifts accepted or off ered.
5. 4.
Bribery
Principle
Employees and associated persons are required to report suspicions of bribery
to the appropriate member of senior management. While any suspicious
circumstances should be reported, employees and associated persons are required
particularly to report:
• Close family, personal or business ties that a prospective agent, representative or
joint-venture partner may have with government or corporate offi cials, directors
or employees
• Requests for cash payments
• Requests for unusual payment arrangements, for example via a third party
• Requests for reimbursements of unsubstantiated or unusual expenses
• A lack of standard invoices and proper fi nancial practices
If an employee or associated person is in any doubt as to whether or not a potential
act constitutes bribery, the matter should be referred to the Finance Manager.
Corporate Entertainment, Gifts, Hospitality and Promotional Expenditure
Principle
Pathway Group permits corporate entertainment, gifts, hospitality and promotional
expenditure that are undertaken:
• For the purpose of establishing or maintaining good business relationship
• To improve the image and reputation of Pathway Group
• To present Pathway Group’s services eff ectively
Provided that it is:
• Arranged in good faith
• Not off ered, promised or accepted to secure an advantage for Pathway Group or
any of its employees or associated persons or to infl uence the impartiality of the
recipient
Pathway Group will authorise only reasonable, appropriate and proportionate
entertainment and promotional expenditure.
This principle applies to employees and associated persons.
6. 5.
Procedure
Employees and where relevant, associated persons should submit requests for
proposed hospitality and promotional expenditure well in advance of proposed
dates to the Accounts Manager.
Employees are required to set out in writing;
• The objective of the proposed client entertainment or expenditure
• The identity of those who will be attending
• The organisation that they represent
• Details and rationale of the proposed activity
Pathway Group will approve business entertainment proposals only if they
demonstrate a clear business objective and are appropriate for the nature of the
business relationship. Pathway Group will not approve business entertainment where
it considers that a confl ict of interest may arise or where it could be perceived that
undue infl uence or a particular business benefi t was being sought (for example, prior
to a tendering exercise).
Any gifts, rewards or entertainment received or off ered from clients, public offi cials,
suppliers or other business contacts should be reported immediately to the Accounts
Manager. In certain circumstances, it may not be appropriate to retain such gifts or
be provided with the entertainment and employees and associated persons may
be asked to return the gifts to the sender or refuse the entertainment, for example,
where there could be a real or perceived confl ict of interest. As a general rule, small
tokens of appreciation, such as fl owers, box of chocolates or a bottle of wine, may be
retained by employees.
If an employee or associated person wishes to provide gifts to suppliers, clients
or other business contacts, prior written approval from the Accounts Manager is
required, together with details of the intended recipients, reasons for the gift and
business objective.
Employees and, where applicable, associated persons must supply records and
receipts, in accordance with Pathway Group’s expenses policy.
Charitable and Political Donations
Pathway Group considers that charitable giving can form part of its wider commitment
and responsibility to the community. Pathway Group supports a number of charities
that are selected in accordance with objective criteria. Pathway Group
may also support fundraising events involving employees.
7. 6.
What practices are permitted?
This policy does not prohibit:
• Normal and appropriate hospitality and entertainment
• The use of any recognised fast-track process that is publicly available on payment
of a fee
Any such practices must be proportionate, reasonable and made in good faith. Clear
records must be kept.
Reporting Suspected Bribery
Principle
Pathway Group depends on its employees and associated persons to ensure that
the highest standards of ethical conduct are maintained in all its business dealings.
Employees and associated persons are requested to assist Pathway Group and to
remain vigilant in preventing, detecting and reporting bribery.
Employees and associated persons are encouraged to report any concerns that they
may have to the appropriate member of senior management as soon as possible.
Issues that should be reported include:
• Any suspected or actual attempts at bribery
• Concerns that other employees or associated persons may be being bribed
• Concerns that other employees or associated persons may be bribing third parties,
such as clients or government offi cials
Procedure
Employees should record any incidents of suspected bribery. Any such reports will
be thoroughly and promptly investigated by the appropriate member of senior
management in the strictest confi dence. Employees and associated persons will be
required to assist in any investigation into possible or suspected bribery.
Employees will also be required to comply with Pathway Group’s whistle blowing
policy.
Employees or associated persons who report instances of bribery in good faith will
be supported by Pathway Groups. Pathway Groups will ensure that the individual
is not subjected to detrimental treatment as a consequence of his/her actions. Any
instances of detrimental treatment by a fellow employee because an employee has
made a report will be treated as a disciplinary off ence.
8. An instruction to cover up any wrongdoing is in itself a disciplinary off ence. If told
not to raise or pursue any concern, even by a person in authority such as a manager,
employees and associated persons should not agree to remain silent. They should
report the matter to an appropriate member of senior management.
Action by Pathway Group
Pathway Group will fully investigate any instances of alleged or suspected bribery.
Employees suspected of bribery may be suspended from their duties while the
investigation is being carried out. Pathway Group will invoke its disciplinary
procedures where any employee is suspected of bribery, and proven allegations
may result in a fi nding of gross misconduct and immediate dismissal. Pathway
Group may terminate the contracts of any associated persons, including consultants
or other workers who act for, or on behalf of, Pathway Group who are found to
have breached this policy. Pathway Group may also report any matter to the
relevant authorities, including the Director of Public Prosecutions, Serious Fraud
Offi ce, Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Offi ce and the Police. Pathway Group
will provide all necessary assistance to the relevant authorities in any subsequent
prosecution.
Review of Procedures
The Account Manager will monitor and review the implementation of this policy
and related procedures on a regular basis, including reviews of internal fi nancial
systems, expenses, corporate hospitality, gifts and entertainment policies.
Pathway Group reserves the right to amend and update this policy as required. For
the avoidance of doubt, this policy does not form part of employees’ contracts of
employment.
