as agents or representatives of any organization with which they may be associated.
The policy of this Group shall be that it shall not engage in, nor permit any of
its members at any function or activity of the Group to engage in any conduct,
action, or discussions which shall in any respect violate federal or state antitrust
laws or be contrary to fair business practice laws, including but not limited to
the policies provided herein below. This policy is essential to avoid violating
federal and state antitrust laws.
It is the policy of the Group and its members not to: (1) illegally agree or
conspire to take any action that constitutes price fixing, or to discuss, consider,
or debate prices and production costs, production targets, market allocation or
division; (2) illegally agree or conspire to take action or engage in discussion
relating to the boycott, refusal to deal with, or exclusion of competitors; (3)
illegally agree or conspire to improperly set or discuss standards or codes or
ethics that unreasonably inhibit or restrict competition; and (4) not to engage
in or discuss any other subject prohibited by the antitrust laws.
If there are any violations of this policy, the offending member will be ruled out
of order immediately and appropriately disciplined, if necessary, and any action
taken in violation of this policy immediately will be null and void, and a record
minute will be made to that effect.
