WISCONSIN: LEAVE FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS

Eligible employees who are volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians, first
responders or ambulance drivers for a volunteer fire department, a public agency or a
nonprofit corporation (“volunteer provider”) are eligible for unpaid leave to respond to
an emergency prior to the time they are to report to work.

Employees who become a member of a volunteer provider must notify Big River in
writing within 30 days that they are a volunteer firefighter, emergency medical
technician, first responder or ambulance driver. Additionally, if the employee's status
changes, including termination of that status, the employee must notify the Company
of the change in status.

Employees who are going to be late or absent from work due to an emergency that
involves their service as a volunteer firefighter, emergency medical technician, first
responder or ambulance driver, must make every effort to notify the Company that they
may be late or absent from work due to the emergency. If prior notification is not
possible, the employee must provide a written statement from the chief of the volunteer
fire department or person in charge of the ambulance service explaining why prior
notification was not possible. Following being late or absent from work due to
responding to an emergency, employees must provide a written statement from the
chief of the volunteer fire department or person in charge of the ambulance service
certifying that they were responding to an emergency and indicating the date and
time of the response to the emergency.

FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT

Employees may be entitled to a leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave
Act (FMLA). This policy provides employees information concerning FMLA entitlements
and obligations employees may have during such leaves. If employees have any
questions concerning FMLA leave, they should contact the Head of Human Resources.

Eligibility
FMLA leave is available to "eligible employees." To be an "eligible employee," the
employee must: 1) have been employed by the Company for at least 12 months (which
need not be consecutive); 2) have been employed by the Company for at least 1,250
hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the
commencement of the leave; and 3) be employed at a worksite where 50 or more
employees are located within 75 miles of the worksite.
