Conflicts of Interest


Your obligation to conduct the Company's business in an honest and ethical manner includes the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.  Without full disclosure of all facts and circumstances and written approval, you shall not make any investment, accept any position or benefits, participate in any transaction or business arrangement or otherwise act in a manner that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest.  Senior Officers must make the disclosure to, and receive the prior written approval of, the Counsel and the Board of Directors, or such other individual or committee of the Board of Directors as may be designated by the Board of Directors.  All other employees must make disclosure to, and receive the written approval of, those individuals who are delegated such responsibility through policies and procedures adopted by the Company.

You must record the Company's financial activities in compliance with all applicable laws and accounting practices.  The making of false or misleading entries, records or documentation is strictly prohibited.  You must never create a false or misleading report or make a payment or establish an account of behalf of the Company with the understanding that any part of the payment or account is to be used for the purpose other than described by the supporting documents.


Compliance with Code of Ethics


If you are a Senior Officer and you know of or suspect a violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations or this Code of Ethics, you should promptly report that information to the Chairman of the Board, other Senior Officer, or Corporate Counsel.  All other employees who know of or suspect a violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations or this Code of Ethics should promptly report that information to either the Corporate Counsel or the Chairman of the Board or other person designated in other policies and procedures adopted by the Company.  No one will be subject to retaliation because of a good faith report of a suspected violation.


Violations of this Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. The Board of Directors shall determine, or shall designate appropriate persons to determine, appropriate action in response to violations of this Code.
