ATTIRE AND GROOMING

                It is important for all employees to project a professional image while at work by being
                appropriately attired. Big River employees are expected to be neat, clean and well
                groomed  while  on  the  job.  Clothing  must  be  consistent  with  the  standards  for  a
                business environment and must be appropriate to the type of work being performed.
                All employees must be covered from shoulders to knees at all times (no see-through or
                sleeveless clothing is permitted at any time). Natural and artificial scents may become
                a distraction from a well-functioning workplace and are also subject to this policy. Big
                River  is confident  that  employees will  use  their best  judgment  regarding  attire  and
                appearance.  Management  reserves  the  right  to  determine  appropriateness.  Any
                employee who is improperly dressed will be counseled or in severe cases may be sent
                home  to  change  clothes.  Continued  disregard  of  this  policy  may  be  cause  for
                disciplinary action, which may result in termination.


                PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS
                In an effort to match you with the job for which you are most suited and/or to meet
                the business and operational needs of the Company, you may be transferred from
                your current job. This may be either at your request or as a result of a decision by the
                Company.


                Reasons  for  transfer  may  include,  but  are  not  necessarily  limited  to,  fluctuations  in
                department  workloads  or  production  flow;  a  desire  for  more  efficient  utilization  of
                personnel; increased career opportunities; personality conflicts; health; other personal
                situations; or other business reasons.

                Most job  openings  that  are  intended  to  be  filled  from within  the Company  will  be
                posted.  The  Company  does  reserve  the  right,  however,  to  transfer  or  promote  an
                employee without posting the availability of that position. Temporary transfers may be
                made at the discretion of the management.


                ANNIVERSARY DATES
                A regular full-time employee's anniversary date is the date they began work. For an
                employee who was hired part-time and later becomes regular full-time, the date the
                employee became part-time is the employee's anniversary date.


                DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
                When  the  clock  is  reset  for  daylight  savings  time,  hourly  and  non-exempt  salaried
                personnel working during that time will be paid for actual hours worked. In the spring,
                employees will not be paid for the one hour that the clock is moved ahead. When the
                clock is set back in the fall, the employees will be paid for the extra hour worked.
