MESSAGE FROM OUR                    "THE REPUTATION OF A THOUSAND YEARS MAY BE
CEO                                 DETERMINED BY THE CONDUCT OF ONE HOUR."
                                    ANCIENT JAPANESE PROVERB

                                    We have said it time and again in our Goals,
                                    Strategy and Culture statement, "We exist
                                    for our clients and are driven by their
                                    needs." Wellington Management's reputation
                                    is built on this principle. We know that our
                                    reputation is our most valuable asset as
                                    that reputation attracts clients and
                                    promotes their trust and confidence in our
                                    firm's capabilities. We entrust our clients'
                                    interests and the firm's reputation every
                                    day to each Wellington Management employee
                                    around the world. Each of us must take
                                    constant care that our actions fully meet
                                    our duties as fiduciaries for our clients.
                                    Our clients' interests must always come
                                    first; they cannot and will not be
                                    compromised.

                                    We have learned through many experiences,
                                    that when we put our clients first, we are
                                    doing the right thing. If our standards
                                    slip, or our focus wanes, we risk the loss
                                    of everything we have worked so hard to
                                    build together over the years.

                                    It is important that we all remember
                                    "client, firm, person" is our most
                                    fundamental guiding principle. This high
                                    ethical standard is embodied in our Code of
                                    Ethics. The heart of the Code of Ethics goes
                                    to our obligation to remain vigilant in
                                    protecting the interests of our clients
                                    above our own. We encourage you to become
                                    familiar with all facets of the Code and
                                    trust that you will embrace and comply with
                                    both the letter and the spirit of the Code.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT                Wellington Management Company, LLP and its
                                    affiliates ("Wellington Management") have a

                                    investment counseling clients that requires
                                    each Employee to act solely for the benefit
                                    of clients. As a firm and as individuals,
                                    our conduct (including our personal trading)
                                    must recognize that the firm's clients
                                    always come first and that we must avoid any
                                    abuse of our positions of trust and
                                    responsibility.

                                    Each Employee is expected to adhere to the
                                    highest standard of professional and ethical
                                    conduct and should be sensitive to
                                    situations that may give rise to an actual
                                    conflict or the appearance of a conflict

                                    reputation. To this end, each Employee must
                                    act with integrity, honesty, dignity and in
                                    a highly ethical manner. Each Employee is
                                    also required to comply with all applicable
                                    securities laws. Moreover, each Employee
                                    must exercise reasonable care and
                                    professional judgment to avoid engaging in

                                    interest in a transaction, and therefore an
                                    obligation to pre-clear and report the
                                    transaction, should be directed to the
                                    Compliance Group.

                                    Exceptions
                                    If an Employee has a beneficial interest in
                                    an account which the Employee feels should
                                    not be subject to the Code's pre-clearance
                                    and reporting requirements, the Employee
                                    should submit a written request for
                                    clarification or an exemption to the Global
                                    Compliance Manager. The request should name
                                    the account, describe the nature of the
                                    Employee's interest in the account, the
                                    person or firm responsible for managing the
                                    account, and the basis upon which the
                                    exemption is being claimed. Requests will be
                                    considered on a case-by-case basis. An
                                    example of a situation where grounds for an
                                    exemption may be present is an account in
                                    which the Employee has no influence or
                                    control (e.g., the Employee has a
                                    professionally managed account over which
                                    the Employee has given up discretion.

                                    In all transactions involving such an
                                    account an Employee should, however, conform
                                    to the spirit of the Code and avoid any
                                    activity which might appear to conflict with
                                    the interests of the firm's clients, or with
                                    the Employee's position within Wellington
                                    Management. In this regard, please refer to

                                    No Employee may engage in Covered

                                    instruments which the Employee knows are

                                    behalf of clients, even though no buy or
                                    sell orders have been placed. This
                                    restriction applies from the moment that an
                                    Employee has been informed in any fashion
                                    that any Portfolio Manager intends to
                                    purchase or sell a specific security or
                                    instrument. This is a particularly sensitive
                                    area and one in which each Employee must
                                    exercise caution to avoid actions which, to
                                    his or her knowledge, are in conflict or in
                                    competition with the interests of clients.

                                    responsibility for client accounts may not

                                    Short Sales, Options and Margin Transactions
                                    THE CODE STRONGLY DISCOURAGES SHORT SALES,
                                    OPTIONS AND MARGIN TRANSACTIONS. Subject to
                                    pre-clearance, an Employee may engage in
                                    short sales, options and margin
                                    transactions, however, an Employee engaging
                                    in such transactions should recognize the
                                    danger of being "frozen" or subject to a
                                    forced close out because of the general
                                    restrictions that apply to personal
                                    transactions as noted above. These types of
                                    activities are risky not only because of the
                                    nature of the transactions, but also because
                                    action necessary to close out a position may
                                    become prohibited under the Code while the
                                    position remains open. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY
                                    NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE OUT SHORT SALES AND
                                    TRANSACTIONS IN DERIVATIVES. In specific
                                    cases of hardship, an exception may be
                                    granted by the Chief Compliance Officer or
                                    the General Counsel with respect to an
                                    otherwise "frozen" transaction.

                                    Particular attention should be paid to
                                    margin transactions. An Employee should
                                    understand that brokers of such transactions
                                    generally have the authority to
                                    automatically sell securities in the
                                    Employee's brokerage account to cover a
                                    margin call. Such sale transactions will be
                                    in violation of the Code unless they are
                                    pre-cleared. An Employee engaging in margin
                                    transactions should not expect that
                                    exceptions will be granted after the fact
                                    for these violations.

                                    underlying security. An Employee engaging in
                                    derivative transactions should also
                                    recognize the danger of being "frozen" or

                                    under these rules, a subsequent sale of the
                                    security by the recipient of the gift must
                                    be pre-cleared and reported IF the Employee

                                    the security (for example, if the Employee
                                    has investment discretion over the recipient
                                    or the recipient is a family member living
                                    in the same house as the Employee).

EXEMPTIVE PROCEDURE                 In cases of hardship, the Chief Compliance
FOR PERSONAL TRADING                Officer, Global Compliance Manager, the
                                    General Counsel, or their respective
                                    designees can grant exemptions from the
                                    personal trading restrictions in this Code.
                                    The decision will be based on a
                                    determination that a hardship exists and the
                                    transaction for which an exemption is
                                    requested would not result in a conflict
                                    with our clients' interests or violate any
                                    other policy embodied in this Code. Other
                                    factors that may be considered include: the
                                    size and holding period of the Employee's
                                    position in the security, the market
                                    capitalization of the issuer, the liquidity
                                    of the security, the amount and timing of
                                    client trading in the same or a related
                                    security, and other relevant factors.

                                    Any Employee seeking an exemption should
                                    submit a written request to the Chief
                                    Compliance Officer, Global Compliance
                                    Manager or the General Counsel, setting
                                    forth the nature of the hardship along with
                                    any pertinent facts and reasons why the
                                    employee believes that the exemption should
                                    be granted. Employees are cautioned that
                                    exemptions are intended to be exceptions,
                                    and repetitive requests for exemptions by an
                                    Employee are not likely to be granted.

                                    Records of the approval of exemptions and
                                    the reasons for granting exemptions will be
                                    maintained by the Compliance Group.

                                    laws, Employees should be aware that
                                    violations could also lead to regulatory
                                    enforcement action resulting in suspension
                                    or expulsion from the securities business,
                                    fines and penalties, and imprisonment.

                                    The Compliance Group is responsible for
                                    monitoring compliance with the Code.
                                    Violations or potential violations of the
                                    Code will be considered by some combination
                                    of the Chief Compliance Officer, the General
                                    Counsel, the Chair of the Ethics Committee
                                    and the Vice Chair of the Ethics Committee,
                                    who will jointly decide if the violation or
                                    potential violation should be discussed with
                                    the Ethics Committee, the Employee's
                                    Business Manager, and/or the firm's senior
                                    management. Further, a violation or
                                    potential violation of the Code by an
                                    Associate or Partner of the firm will be
                                    discussed with the Managing Partners.
                                    Sanctions for a violation of the Code may be
                                    determined by the Ethics Committee, the
                                    Employee's Business Manager, senior
                                    management, or the Managing Partners
                                    depending on the Employee's position at the
                                    firm and the nature of the violation.

                                    Transactions that violate the Code's
                                    personal trading restrictions will
                                    presumptively be subject to being reversed
                                    and any profit realized from the position
                                    disgorged, unless the Employee establishes

                                    that under the particular circumstances
                                    disgorgement would be an unreasonable remedy
                                    for the violation. If disgorgement is
                                    required, the proceeds shall be paid to any
                                    client disadvantaged by the transaction, or
                                    to a charitable organization, as determined
                                    by the Ethics Committee.
