3. Titan's "Code of Ethics"
In the words of their CEO:

My favorite Quote is:

"Many of the qualities we have come to expect in the way of moral and responsible behavior as an employee and a company are simply principles of good common sense. Current laws and regulations that govern our actions express these principles of common sense into written and prescribed rules of conduct. On the other hand, what may appear to be acceptable conduct or behavior using common sense principles may sometimes be in direct violation of laws and regulations for complex reasons."

Here's their downloadable Ethics Booklet:

http://www.titan.com/about/governance/ethics/content.html?g=operating&select=3.1
_______________________________

http://www.titan.com/about/governance/ethics/index.html?select=3.1

Titan is very proud of its reputation for excellence and commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards. As always, Titan's ultimate success in both of these areas begins and ends with our greatest resource: our team of highly qualified and talented employees.

All of Titan employees share certain core values. The quality of our performance on state-of-the-art development and applications of technology for our many customer requirements is outstanding. We continue to be a dynamic and innovative company with a unique pool of talent that enables us to create, build, and launch new technologies and new companies.

We all must remember, however, that everything we do is dependent upon each individual's commitment to quality and the knowledge that no true success is achieved at the expense of compromising behavior. As part of our day-to-day work, we must be continuously aware of our moral responsibilities and obligations to our many customers, suppliers, subcontractors, fellow employees, and communities in which we do business. We can never take these things for granted.

Many of the qualities we have come to expect in the way of moral and responsible behavior as an employee and a company are simply principles of good common sense. Current laws and regulations that govern our actions express these principles of common sense into written and prescribed rules of conduct. On the other hand, what may appear to be acceptable conduct or behavior using common sense principles may sometimes be in direct violation of laws and regulations for complex reasons.

This booklet was prepared as an aid in promoting a clearer understanding of the scope and content of the many rules and regulations with which we must comply.


Gene W. Ray
Chairman &
Chief Executive Officer
