I. INTRODUCTION

A. Code of Business Conduct

The Company's Code of Business Conduct (the "Code") is a statement of the
Company's policies and procedures for conducting its business in a legal and
ethical manner. It has been issued to all employees in order to reaffirm the
Company's existing policies relating to ethical standards and business
practices.

The Code includes provisions from existing corporate policies to provide an
accessible reference for all employees. Certain corporate policies set forth
more detailed information on subjects covered by the Code.

All policies and procedures in the Code apply to all employees and agents
of the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates (collectively the
"Company"), whether operating inside or outside of the United States. References
to employees in the Code also include agents.

The Company expects you, and all its other employees, to observe high
ethical standards in the performance of your respective duties, and to observe
all laws and regulations governing business transactions and practices. The
Company expects you to act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence
and diligence, without misrepresenting or omitting material facts or allowing
your independent judgment to be compromised or subordinated and to pro-actively
promote ethical behavior among your subordinates and peers. The Company's policy
is to prevent the occurrence of illegal or unethical behavior, to halt any
illegal or unethical behavior that may occur as soon as reasonably possible
after its discovery, and to discipline those who violate the Code, including
individuals responsible for the failure to exercise proper supervision and
oversight to detect and report a violation by their subordinate employees.
Discipline may, when appropriate, include termination.

B. Guidance and Interpretation

Government regulation of business activities continues to increase, which
results in more complex laws, regulations and procedures. Accordingly, whenever
the legality or propriety of any proposed course of conduct which you are
involved in is subject to question, it is incumbent upon you to obtain advice
concerning these policies from the person to whom you report, and, when
appropriate, to request advice from the Company's General Counsel. If you have a
question regarding the applicability or interpretation of the Code you should
utilize the procedures specified in the section entitled "IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
CODE".

THE CODE IS NOT A CONTRACT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO CREATE ANY CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATIONS ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES. THE
CODE ALSO DOES NOT ALTER THE EXISTING AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE COMPANY AND YOU.

II. COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW

As an employee of the Company, you are required to comply with applicable
laws, rules and regulations for federal, state, and local governments applicable
to the Company, and with the rules and regulations of private and public
regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company, as well as the highest
standards of business ethics and conduct in every country in which the Company
