Ethical Standards for Directors, Management and Employees

Due to the potential public perception of privileged information available to the Directors, Management and Employees of the company, rules must exist that ensure no advantage is taken or perceived to be taken of any confidential or privileged information.

Employees must also recognize that actions of associated persons can directly reflect upon them as employees and also upon the company. Consequently not only must an employee be guided by the highest ethical standards, an employee should be aware that the conduct of an associated person can influence the perception of an employee. It is the responsibility of employees to ensure that associates are fully aware of the employee's need to maintain the highest of ethical standards.

For the purpose of this policy an "associate" is any person having the same home as the employee.

Any failure to comply with this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

All persons or groups holding 5% or more of the company's securities must file the appropriate forms with the Securities and Exchange Commission annually. These forms include but are not limited to Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 and Schedule 13(g). It is the responsibility of each individual or group holding 5% or more to file their reports promptly. Failure to comply with this policy may result in disciplinary action from both the Company and the Securities and Exchange Commission. (Forms can be found at: www.sec.gov)

Business correspondence that may compromise confidentiality will be locked away at the end of the day.
