Application of the Code

This Code sets forth the key guiding principles of business conduct that we
follow and expect our employees to follow. This Code, however, does not capture
all laws, rules, regulations and Company policies and procedures that may be
applicable to the Company and our employees and does not cover every issue
that may arise or every situation in which ethical
decisions must be made. Therefore, please refer to

Employees have the right to engage in, or
refrain from, such activities.
Duty to Report

Each employee, officer, and director is responsible for promptly bringing to
the Company’s attention any circumstances which he or she believes in good faith
may constitute a violation of applicable law, regulations, Company policy or this
Code. The Company considers that failure to discharge this responsibility may be as
serious as the violation itself. Employees, officers and directors are encouraged and
required to raise any concern about risks to the Company before these risks become
actual problems.
We have established processes for the open, confidential, or anonymous
submission by employees, officers, directors and other persons of information
about possible violations of law, regulations, Company policy, or this Code,
including any concerns or complaints regarding accounting, financial reporting,
internal accounting controls or auditing matters for consideration by the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors. You may contact your supervisor, Human
Resources manager or other member of management to report an incident.
You may also contact the Company’s Ethics Hotline by calling 800-209-4508
(a toll-free service that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year), visiting
martinmarietta.alertline.com, or writing the Ethics Office, PO Box 30013,
Raleigh, NC 27622. Although it may be impossible in certain circumstances to keep
a person’s identity confidential, we will strive to take every action practicable to
maintain confidentiality for any person reporting a violation.
