WAGE INFORMATION
                Each pay period consists of two weeks.  Each pay period begins on a Sunday and ends
                two  weeks  later  on  a  Saturday.    Paychecks  are  mailed  or  direct  deposited  on  the
                Friday  following  the  end  of  each  pay  period.    Employees  should  refrain  from
                requesting an early paycheck or an advance on their paycheck.

                PROCESS DEPARTMENT NIGHT SHIFT PREMIUM POLICY
                This policy applies to all non-exempt employees assigned to the Process Department
                at Big River. Night shift refers to the designated and scheduled overnight hours of the
                Process team at each site. Employees assigned to work during the night shift schedule
                will receive a premium rate of $3 per hour in addition to their regular hourly wage for
                hours  worked  during  the  scheduled  night  shift.  Hours  worked  outside  of  the
                designated night shift are paid at regular applicable wages.

                Employees will receive the night shift premium of $3 per hour for all hours worked
                during  the  designated  night  shift  schedule.  Hours  worked  beyond  the  standard  40
                hours per workweek will be compensated at a rate of 1.5 times the employee's regular
                hourly wage, including the night shift premium.

                Employees are required to accurately record their hours worked, including night shift
                hours, through the designated timekeeping system. This premium is only available to
                employees within the Process Department.

                PAYDAY
                All employees will be paid biweekly on Friday for the period which has ended on the
                previous Saturday.  When payday falls on a holiday, you normally will be paid on the
                last working day before the holiday.

                If  you  have  elected  a  paper  check  in  lieu  of  direct  deposit,  paychecks  will  be
                distributed  by  your  supervisor.    Improper  pay  deductions  are  strictly  prohibited.
                Please  bring  errors  or  improper  deductions  to  our  attention  immediately,  either
                through  your  supervisor  or  to  Human  Resources.    You  will  be  reimbursed  for  any
                improper deductions.

                If you are on vacation or going to be away from work, it is not a practice to hand out
                paychecks early.  So that you do not experience a delay in receiving your paycheck
                due to time away from work or mail delivery, you are  encouraged to participate in
                the direct deposit service that Employer offers.  Direct  deposit is provided as a benefit
                to you at  no cost.
