Confidentiality

Strict standards concerning client and fellow employee records and all other information that is considered to be of a confidential nature shall be maintained.

As an employee, you recognize that in the course of your employment with the Company you will have access to, create or acquire confidential, privileged or proprietary or trade information, secrets or processes. All employees must recognize that this information is solely the property of the Company, client or copyright holder regardless of its format or changing formats through time. Each employee recognizes the right of the employer to determine questions of ownership.

Every employee recognizes that the disclosure of any of the above information would directly damage the Company's business and could subject the Company to a serious business loss. Accordingly, each employee promises, as a condition of his or her employment, that during or after employment with the Company or any of its affiliated subsidiaries, they will not disclose any Company or client information to any person or entity outside the Company, including the media and government representatives, without first obtaining written consent from senior management of the Company. Further, every employee understands that their position with the Company is one of trust and confidence. Each employee understands that they must pledge their best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and keep trade secrets and confidential or proprietary business information of the clients and the Company secure.

Employees should be aware that stock purchases of companies who are our clients may be considered as "insider" trading and is a federal offense.

All employees understand that upon termination of employment they will promptly return all such confidential information or other Company property to their supervisor.

All employees must agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement and are required to submit one copy of the signed agreement to the Accounting Department, where it will be kept in the employee's personnel file. A violation of confidentiality may result in discipline up to and including termination.
