employee suspects the supervisor has participated in or condoned the
             act.  In that case the employee should report the act to the General
             Manager of Precision Underground.
             This policy shall not prohibit notification to appropriate authorities
             when an immediate threat to personal safety exists or  other
             circumstances justify such notice.   Upon discovering evidence of
             possible fraudulent or other significant dishonest acts,  employees
             should not confront the individuals suspected of wrongdoing or initiate
             fraud investigations on their own because such actions may
             compromise the situation.

             Employees shall not make statements or disclosures knowing they are
             false or in reckless disregard of truth.  Such false reports may be cause
             for disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

             Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy
                    The Company is committed to a work environment in which
             all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has
             the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal
             employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful  discriminatory
             practices, including harassment. Therefore, the Company expects that
             all relationships among persons in the office and in the field, will be
             business-like and free of bias, prejudice and harassment.

             The Company has developed this policy to ensure that all its employees
             can work in an environment free from  unlawful harassment,
             discrimination and retaliation. The Company will  make every
             reasonable effort to ensure that all concerned are familiar with these
             policies and are aware that any complaint in violation of such policies
             will be investigated and resolved appropriately.

             These policies should not, and may not, be used as a basis for excluding
             or separating individuals of a particular gender, or any other protected
             characteristic, from participating in business or work-related social
             activities or discussions. In  other words, no one should  make the
             mistake of engaging in discrimination or exclusion to avoid allegations
             of harassment. The law and the  policies of the Company prohibit
             disparate  treatment on  the  basis  of  sex  or  any  other  protected
             characteristic, with regard  to terms, conditions, privileges and
