2.7 Conflict of Interest & Outside Employment General
Midwest Fastener Corp. expects its employees to conduct business according to the highest ethical standards of conduct. Employees are expected to devote their best efforts to the interests of the Company. Business dealings appearing to create a conflict between the interests of the Company and an employee are unacceptable. The Company recognizes the right of employees to engage in activities outside of their employment that are of a private nature and unrelated to the business. However, the employee must disclose any possible conflicts so that the Company may assess and prevent potential conflicts of interest from arising. A potential or actual conflict of interest occurs whenever an employee can influence a decision that may result in personal gain for the employee or an immediate family member (i.e., spouse or significant other, children, parents, siblings) as a result of the Company’s business dealings. Employees must refrain from any activity or have a financial interest inconsistent with the Company’s best interest and from activities, investments, or associations that compete with the Company or interfere with one’s judgment concerning the Company’s best interest. Although it is not possible to specify every action that might create a conflict of interest, this policy sets forth the ones that most frequently

Midwest Fastener Corp. employees may be required to work beyond their normally scheduled hours. Employees must perform this work when requested. In cases of conflict with any outside activity, the employee’s obligations to the Company must be given priority. Employees are hired and continue in Midwest Fastener Corp.’s
