**CODE      OF ETHICS**

**I.    **
**Honest      and Ethical Conduct**

| ·       | Encourage                and reward professional integrity in all aspects of the financial                organization, by eliminating inhibitions and barriers to responsible                behavior, such as coercion, fear of reprisal, or alienation from                the                financial organization or the enterprise                itself. |
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·       | Prohibit                and eliminate the appearance or occurrence of conflicts between what                is in                the best interest of the enterprise and what could result in material                personal gain for a member of the organization, including Senior                Officers. |
|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·       | Company                directors, officers and employees have an obligation to promote the                best                interests of the Company at all times. They should avoid any action                which                may involve a conflict of interest with the Company. Directors, officers                and employees should not have any undisclosed, unapproved financial                or                other business relationships with suppliers, customers or competitors                that                might impair the independence of any judgment they may need to make                on                behalf of the Company. Conflicts of interest would also arise if                a                director, officer or employee, or a member of his or her family,                receives                improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in                the                Company. |

| ·       | Where                conflicts of interest arise, directors, officers and employees must                provide full disclosure of the circumstances and abstain from any                related                decision making process. |
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·       | Directors,                officers and employees must also avoid apparent conflicts of                interest, which occur where a reasonable observer might assume there                is a                conflict of interest and, therefore, a loss of objectivity in their                dealings on behalf                of the Company. |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·       | Provide                a mechanism for members of the finance organization to inform senior                management of deviations in practice from policies and procedures                governing honest and ethical                behavior. |

| ·       | If                any employee has knowledge or is suspicious of any non-compliance                with any                provision of this Code or is concerned whether circumstances could                lead to                a violation of this Code, he or she should discuss the situation                with one                or more members of the Audit Committee. The Company will not allow                any                retaliation against a director, officer or employee who acts in good                faith                in reporting any such violation or suspected violation. |

| ·       | If                directors or executive officers have knowledge or are suspicious                of any                non-compliance with any provision of this Code or are concerned whether                circumstances could lead to a violation of this Code, they should                discuss                the situation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors                of                the Company.   |
