Officer and other senior operating and financial executives are expected to:

         regulatory agencies.

         diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing one's
         independent judgment to be subordinated.

-        Respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of
         one's work except when authorized or otherwise legally obligated to
         disclose. Confidential information acquired in the course of one's work
