Purpose:
The following corporate governance guidelines have been adopted by the Board of Directors of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS Incorporation (“The Great House Media Group of Publishers”) to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities to BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS and its shareholders.

Role of the Board.
The business and affairs of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS are managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors in accordance with Delaware law. The directors’ fiduciary duty is to exercise their business judgment in the best interests of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS’s shareholders.

Board Structure.
Board Size. The size of the Board will provide for sufficient diversity among non-employee directors while also facilitating substantive discussions in which each director can participate meaningfully. The Board size will be set by the Board on recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and within the limits prescribed by BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS’s certificate of in Incorporation and by-laws.

Independent Directors. A majority of the Board will consist of directors whom the Board has determined to be independent. In general, an independent director must have no material relationship with The Great House Media Group of Publishers, directly or indirectly. For this purpose, BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS will ensure that it complies with the rules governing independence adopted by the NYSE and SEC.

To be considered independent under the NYSE rules, the Board must determine that a director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with The Great House Media Group of Publishers. Materiality for this purpose will be evaluated both from the standpoint of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS and from the standpoint of the director or the persons or entities with which the director is affiliated. The Board has established the following guidelines to assist it in determining director independence in accordance with that proposed rule:

The following persons will not be considered to be “independent”:

(i) A director who is an employee, or whose immediate family member is an executive officer, of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS is not independent until three years after the end of such employment relationship;

(ii) A director who receives, or whose immediate family member receives, more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service), is not independent until three years after he or she ceases to receive more than $120,000 per year in such compensation;

(iii) A director who is a current partner or employee of, or whose immediate family member is a current partner or employee who personally works on BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS’s audit at, a present or former internal or external auditor of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS is not “independent” until three years after the earlier of (a) the end of such partnership or employment or (b) the end of such auditor’s auditing relationship with BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS;

(iv) A director who is employed, or whose immediate family member is employed, as an executive officer of another company where any of BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS’s present executives serve on the company’s compensation committee is not “independent” until three years after the end of such service or the employment relationship;

(v) A director who is an executive officer or an employee, or whose immediate family member is an executive officer, of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS for property or services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, is not “independent” until three years after falling below such threshold.

For the purpose of determining independent directors, “Immediate family member” includes a person’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, in-laws, and any one (other than employees) who shares such person’s home.

Term Limits. The Board believes that experience as a BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS director is a valuable asset, especially in light of the size and international scope of the Incorporation’s operations. Therefore, directors are not subject to term limits.

Other Directorships. Recognizing the substantial time commitment required of directors, it is expected that a non-employee director will serve on the boards of other public and private companies and not-for-profit entities only to the extent that, in the judgment of the Board, such services do not detract from the directors’ ability to devote the necessary time and attention to BUNCH MARKETING SOLUTIONS. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will periodically review all non-employee directors’ service on the boards of other public companies.

Change in Status. To avoid any potential for a conflict of interest, directors will not accept a seat on any additional public company board or any governmental position without first reviewing the matter with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Chairman will normally determine the agenda for Board meetings, but any director may request the inclusion of particular items.

Meeting Attendance. It is expected that each director will make every effort to attend each Board meeting and each meeting of any committee on which he or she sits. Attendance in person is preferred but attendance by teleconference is permitted if necessary under the circumstances.

Director Preparedness. Each director should be familiar with any briefing materials distributed in advance of the meeting, and should be prepared to participate meaningfully in the meeting and to discuss all scheduled items of business.

Committee Assignments. Membership of each committee will be determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Committee Self-evaluation. Annually, each of the Board committees will conduct an evaluation of its performance and effectiveness and will periodically consider whether any changes to the committee’s charter are appropriate.
