officers and directors comply with the law. While the law prescribes a
minimum standard of conduct, this Code of Ethics requires conduct that often
exceeds the legal standard.
Reporting of Illegal or Unethical Behavior
The Company recognizes that its customers must have faith and confidence in
the honesty and character of its employees, officers and directors. In
addition to the importance of maintaining customer confidence, there are
specific laws that outline the actions the Company must take regarding any
known, or suspected, crime involving the affairs of the Company. In
particular, fraud is an element of business that can significantly affect the
reputation and success of the Company.

supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel to report and discuss
any known or suspected criminal activity involving the Company or its
employees. If, during the course of employment, you have any concerns or
complaints regarding questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or
auditing matters, you should submit a complaint to the appropriate party.
Reporting the activity will not subject the employee to discipline absent a
knowingly false report. Complaints may be submitted on a confidential,
anonymous basis.
Administration and Waiver of Code of Ethics
This Code of Ethics shall be administered and monitored by the Company's
President. Any questions and further information on this Code of Ethics
should be directed to the President.
All managers and direct supervisors are responsible for reviewing this Code
of Ethics with their subordinates each time a new edition of the Code of
Ethics is published.

Code of Ethics at all times. Generally, there should be no waivers to this
Code of Ethics, however, rare circumstances conflicts may arise that
necessitate waivers. Waivers will be determined on a case-by-case basis by
