•   Additional employment that directly or indirectly competes with the business
                           or the interests of Jones-Hamilton Co.

                 Employees  who  wish  to  engage  in  additional  employment  that  may  create  a  real  or
                 apparent  conflict  of  interest  must  immediately  disclose  the  proposed  additional
                 employment and submit a written request to the Human Resources Manager explaining
                 the  details  of  the  proposed  additional  employment.    Jones-Hamilton  Co.  has  sole
                 discretion regarding whether or not to authorize the proposed additional employment.
                 If Jones-Hamilton does not authorize the additional employment, any employee who
                 engages in such additional employment may be subject to discipline, up to and including
                 immediate termination.

                 If Jones-Hamilton authorizes the additional employment, Jones-Hamilton Co. assumes
                 no  responsibility  for  it.  Jones-Hamilton  Co.  will  not  provide  workers’  compensation
                 coverage or any other benefit for injuries or damages occurring from or arising out of
                 additional  employment.  Authorization  to  engage  in  additional  employment  can  be
                 revoked at any time.

                 Jones-Hamilton Co. will not provide workers’ compensation coverage or any other
                 benefit for injuries occurring from or arising out of additional employment.
                 Authorization to engage in additional employment can be revoked at any time.
                 Outside employment will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance,
                 absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal to travel or refusal to work overtime or
                 different hours.

                 Employees who have accepted outside employment may not use paid sick leave to
                 work on the outside job. Fraudulent use of sick leave will result in disciplinary action
                 up to and including termination.

                 BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

                 It has been a long-standing policy of Jones-Hamilton Co. to conduct our business in
                 accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards.  The success of Jones-
                 Hamilton Co. has been due not only to the efforts and skills of our employees, but also
                 the high standards of business ethics which have been maintained over many years. In
                 contact with outsiders, Jones-Hamilton Co. employees must observe the highest
                 standard of business ethics and avoid any activity or interest that might reflect
                 unfavorably upon their own integrity and good name, and the good name and
                 reputation of Jones-Hamilton Co.  Each employee must avoid not only situations which
                 give rise to a personal conflict of interests, but also those situations which create the
                 appearance of one.

                 CONFLICT OF INTEREST


                 Employees must avoid any relationship or activity that might impair, or even appear to
                 impair, their ability to make objective and fair decisions when performing their jobs. At
                 times, an employee may be faced with situations in which business actions taken on
                 behalf of Jones-Hamilton Co. may conflict with the employee’s own personal interests.
                 Company property, information or business opportunities may not be used for personal
                 gain.

                                                                 17
