ITEM
5.05. Amendments to the Registrants Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provison of the Code of
Ethics.
On January 25, 2010, the Board of Directors by unanimous vote approved three management proposed
modifications to the Companys Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The modifications as approved
by the Board include: (i) adding a section that addressed compliance with the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and International Anti-Bribery and Fair Competition Act of 1998; (ii) clarifying that
any amendments to the code must be approved by the Board; and (iii) adding language that expressly
prohibited the accepting of loans or loan guarantees from customers, suppliers and/or competitors.
These changes were made upon recommendation of the Companys outside securities counsel and not in
response to any conduct or action of any director, officer, or employee of the Company. The
revised Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
