1.7.

Except as authorized herein on a de minimus basis, not accept personal gratuities or give any customer or supplier the impression that we would do so. Business meals or events where the supplier attends the meal or event may be accepted if the value of the meal or event does not exceed $100 in any one case or $1000 in the aggregate in any single calendar year. If a gratuity is offered that exceeds the guidelines, then the Peak employee will politely refuse, explaining that it is against company policy to accept the gratuity.

1.8.

Follow all company policies governing day-to-day performance of our jobs, including the standards set forth in this Code of Ethics.

1.9.

Not engage in improper or illegal behavior even if directed to do so by someone in higher authority. No one, regardless of position, has the authority to direct any of us to commit a wrongful act.

The company is committed to providing an environment that encourages and fosters open communication. This means that we encourage and provide the means for all company employees to express their ideas, opinions, attitudes and concerns without fear of reprisal.

Page 10

2.2.

Any employee or other person may report, without fear of reprisal, any actual or suspected wrong-doing of any nature whatsoever related to the company or its business or customers, including matters related to accounting issues, internal controls, or auditing issues, to Xxxx Xxxxxxx, the company’s Compliance Officer, or in the discretion of the reporting employee, to Xxx Xxxx, the company’s CEO, or to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In addition, any employee may report any matter to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx. Contact information is set forth below.

2.2.1.

Any employee or other person may send a report anonymously if he or she so chooses. Each report will be reviewed and acted upon, whether or not the writer identifies himself or herself. While any method selected by the individual may be used, we encourage the following methods:

2.2.1.1.

Mail. Send the report by mail to any one or more of the following people addressed to the individuals at XX Xxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX. 00000

2.2.1.3.

Email. Send the report by email to any two of the above listed people at their indicated email address. It is more difficult to send a report anonymously by email since the sender leaves an electronic trail. Thus, this method should not be used if the sender wishes to remain anonymous.

3.	Employee Privacy

We respect the privacy and dignity of all individuals. We limit access to personal information to authorized personnel who need it for business or legal purposes, and we will comply with all applicable laws regarding disclosure of personal information.

3.2.

The company does not routinely monitor personal communications and computer use of its employees, nor search their work spaces. You should not, however, expect that these communications and work spaces will be private and the company may elect to monitor such communications and/or search work spaces. There may be times when appropriate company personnel may access employee work spaces and monitor electronic and other communications for the safety or protection of other people, company property or other reasons. Employees are not permitted to access the electronic communications of other employees or third parties unless directed to do so by the president or a vice president of the company.

3.3.

The Company uses various forms of electronic communications including, but not limited to computers, e-mail, telephones, voicemail, fax machines, and software. All electronic communications, including all software and hardware, are the sole property of the company and are to be used only for company business.

Electronic communication/media may not be used in any manner that would be discriminatory, harassing or obscene, or for any other purpose which is illegal, against company policy or not in the best interest of the company.

3.5.

Employees who misuse electronic communications and engage in defamation, copyright or trademark infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, discrimination, harassment or related actions will be subject to immediate termination.

3.6.

Employees may not install personal software in company computer systems. All electronic information created by any employee using any means of electronic communication is the property of the company. Personal passwords may be used for purposes of security, but the use of a personal password does not affect the company’s ownership of the electronic information. The company may override a personal password if, in the judgment of the company, it becomes necessary to do so.

3.7.

Any information about the company, its products or services, or other types of information that will appear in the electronic media about the company must be approved by a vice president or president before the information is placed on an electronic information source.

Company Funds

4.4.1.

Page 14

4.5.6.

Employees will advise all customers and suppliers of any clerical or accounting errors, as they become known, and effect prompt correction of errors through credits, refunds or other mutually acceptable means.

5.	Use of Property Owned by Directors, Officers and Employees

5.1.

Directors, officers, and other employees may not charge the company for the use of assets they own or rent except as specifically authorized by written policies and procedures, such as reimbursement for personal use of one’s automobile.

6.	Conflicts Of Interest—Outside Employment And Other Activities

6.1.

A conflict of interest may arise if you engage in any activities or advance your personal interests at the expense of the company’s interests. It is your responsibility to avoid situations in which your loyalty may become divided. Each individual’s situation is different, and, in evaluating your own, you will have to consider many factors.

6.2.

The rules applicable to the most common conflict of interest situations are provided below. Whenever you have doubts about a possible conflict, you should review the company policy stated in this Manual. You should also candidly discuss the matter with the CEO or the company’s General Counsel. Each situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

7.	Assisting a Competitor

7.1.

An obvious conflict of interest is assisting an organization that markets products in competition with the company’s current or proposed product offerings. Without company consent you may not: (a) work for such an organization as an employee, consultant or member of its board of directors; or (b) have any ownership interest in any enterprise which competes with any business of the company, except as a holder of less than 1 % of publicly traded stock in a company. Such activities are prohibited because they divide your loyalty between the company and the other organization.

8.	Competing Against the Company

8.1. You may not market products in competition with the company’s current or proposed product offerings.

Employment Agreement– Xxxxx Xxxx

April 12, 2005

Page 15

8.2.

It is your responsibility to consult with the CEO or the General Counsel of the company if you are uncertain whether your planned activity will compete with any of the company’s actual or proposed product lines. You should obtain the written approval of the CEO or the General Counsel of the company before pursuing the activity.

9.	Supplying the Company

9.1.

You may not work for or represent a supplier or vendor to the company, or be a member of a supplier’s or vendor’s board of directors while you work for the company. In addition, you may not accept money or benefits of any kind for any advice or services you may provide to a supplier in connection with its business with the company.

10.	Someone Close to You Working in the Industry

10.1.

You may find yourself in a situation where your spouse, another member of your immediate family, or someone else you are close to is a competitor or supplier of the company or is employed by one. Such situations call for particular attention to security, confidentiality and conflicts of interest. The closeness of the relationship might lead you to inadvertently compromise the company’s interests.

10.2.

There are several factors to consider in assessing such a situation. Among them: the relationship between Peak and the other company; the nature of your responsibilities as a Peak employee and those of the person close to you; and the access each of you has to your respective employer’s confidential information.

10.3.

You should also be aware that the situation, however harmless it may appear to you, could arouse suspicions among your co-workers that might affect your working relationships. The very appearance of a conflict of interest can create problems, regardless of the behavior of the employee involved.

10.4.

To remove any such doubts or suspicions, you should review your specific situation with the CEO or the General Counsel of the company, to assess the nature and extent of any concern and how it can be resolved. Frequently, any risk to the

Employment Agreement– Xxxxx Xxxx

April 12, 2005

Page 16

company’s interest is sufficiently remote that you need only be reminded to guard against inadvertently disclosing the company’s confidential information. However, in some instances, a change in the job responsibilities of one of the people involved may be necessary.

11.	Transactions With Affiliated Companies

11.1.

When dealing with companies affiliated with Peak, either through common ownership or through subsidiary relationships, we must avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

12.	Transactions with Interested Parties

12.1.

Any director, officer, or other employee with an interest in any company transaction shall fully disclose that interest before the company undertakes the transaction. Should a director, officer or employee discover their interest in a company transaction after it begins, the director, officer or employee shall disclose their interest immediately in writing to the Board of Directors.

12.2.

A director, officer, or employee is “interested” in a transaction when he/she:

12.2.1.

is a director, officer, or employee of an entity that transacts business or proposes to transact business with the company;

12.2.2.

is closely related to any director, officer, or employee of a company that transacts business or proposes to transact business with the company; or

12.2.3.

has an ownership interest in any entity transacting business with the company.

12.3.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors shall review these transactions. In order for the company to undertake the transaction, the Audit Committee must approve it.

13.	Monitoring of Sales to Affiliates

13.1.

In addition to its standard comprehensive accounting procedures, the company shall monitor sales to affiliates. The CFO shall monitor sales to affiliates and report such sales to the CEO and to the Board of Directors at each board meeting.

General Rules

Employment Agreement– Xxxxx Xxxx

April 12, 2005

Page 17

14.2.

Under United States Securities Laws and Company Policy you may not:

14.2.1.

buy or sell Peak’s securities (or in some cases the securities of other companies) while in possession of material non-public information (“inside information”).

14.2.2.

disclose inside information to outsiders, including family members, who then trade in the Peak’s securities or the securities of another company on the basis of that information. This is called “tipping” and can lead to civil and criminal liability for both the “tipper” and “tippee;”

14.2.3.

sell Peak’s securities without complying with all the requirements of Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. Rule 144 is described in detail later in this section.

14.2.4.

answer questions or provide company outsiders with information about the company and its affairs unless you are specifically authorized to do so.

15.	Who Is An “Insider” And What Is “Material Inside Information?”

15.1.

The term “insider” includes not only corporate directors, officers and employees, but also persons who learn of material non-public information through their job duties or special relationships with corporate insiders. For example, secretaries, mail room clerks and messengers can discover material non-public information while performing their duties. Anyone who discovers material non-public information in this way is an “insider” under federal securities laws.

16.	Materiality

16.1.

Under federal securities laws, inside information is “material” if a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding whether to buy or sell securities.

16.2.

“Material” inside information includes:

16.2.1.

Company financial results, earnings, possible dividend increases or decreases, stock splits, stock dividends and other financial information;

16.2.2.

anticipated public or private offerings of company securities;

16.2.3.

Company evaluation of an acquisition candidate, business unit divestiture, joint venture, tender offer or other restructuring activity;

16.2.4.

mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or other restructuring activity in progress or under discussion or negotiation;

Employment Agreement– Xxxxx Xxxx

April 12, 2005
