The Company and its employees must strive to maintain the highest
ethical and professional standards in all domestic and foreign business
activities. In accordance with this standard, no Company employee shall
engage in or facilitate conduct for the purpose of bribing foreign officials.
Employees are expected to require foreign agents or consultants
acting in connection with the affairs of the Company to observe the same
requirements that would apply to employees of the Company, whether or

bribery laws, and those laws may contain additional requirements to
which all Company employees doing business both in those countries and
with individuals from those countries must adhere.
The Company requires employees to come forward with information

possible violation be observed. No employee should fear retaliation from
the Company for coming forward with an allegation of a possible FCPA
violation.
