Fiduciary Duty
All employees are to be free from the influence of any conflicting interest when they represent
DPG in negotiations or make recommendations with respect to dealings with third parties.
Employees are expected to deal with suppliers, subcontractors, customers, and all others doing

Employees shall not seek or accept payments, loans, services, excessive entertainment, travel,
or gifts of more than $25.00 in value from any individual, business, or other representative
doing or seeking to do business with DPG.

Employees are prohibited from soliciting or performing work in competition with the Company
and/or its affiliates. Outside work cannot be solicited or performed on the Company time or
premises; nor can DPG equipment, materials, resources, or inside information be used for
outside work.

Comply with our Customer Code of Conduct Policy
Although friendly relations with organizations with which the Company does business are
desirable and may be advantageous to the Company, employees must be guided by high
standards of personal conduct and integrity in those relationships. Not only should employees
avoid favoritism, preferential treatment, and unethical business practices, they also should
avoid conduct that might be misinterpreted by others or might provide any basis for questions
as to its propriety.

When an outside activity or financial interest concerns an organization with which the Company
does business, the application of intelligence and good judgment, both by the individual
employee and by the Company, is required to avoid any basis for criticism or misunderstanding.

In following these general principles, employees should adhere to the standards of conduct set
forth below. These standards are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to cover all
situations that may arise.

If at any time an employee of the Company has any questions concerning the application of this
portion of the policy, the questions should be discussed with the employee’s manager. In
addition, any question of significance, or where the answer is not clear, shall be referred to the
President.

Prohibition of Gifts or Favors

A. No employee may solicit, directly or indirectly, for such employee’s benefit or for
the benefit of any relative or friend, any gift or favor from an organization with
which the Company does business or that seeks to do business with the Company.
