                    Aside from those benefits required by state and federal
             regulations,  Precision Underground  “the Company”, also offers
             additional benefits for certain employee classifications.  From time to
             time, benefits may be added or deleted from the benefits package. The
             Company reserves the right to make such changes.

             This handbook does not contain the complete terms and/or conditions
             of any of the Company’s current benefits plans. It is intended only to

                    Precision Underground Inc offers a group health plan for
             eligible employees after  sixty (60)  days  of full-time  status.  The
             company pays  100% of a single health plan  for  the employee.
             Employees that request a single plus dependent or family health plan
             must pay the additional cost above that of the single plan.  Employees
             signed up for health insurance will receive complete details and
             benefits of the plan from the plan provider.

             Dental, Vision, and AFLAC Insurance
                    Precision employees receive group rates for dental, vision,
             and AFLAC insurance; however, these expenses are paid directly by
             the employee.  Employees are eligible after 60 days of full-time
             status.
