ORIENTATION AND TRAINING
                To  help  you  become  familiar  with  the  Company  and  our  way  of  doing  things,  the
                Company will provide an orientation and training session within the first few days
                after you begin work. Some of the content of the session will depend in large part on
                the  nature  of  your  responsibilities,  while  other  parts  will  be  applicable  to  all
                employees.  In  addition,  the  Company  may  periodically  offer  additional  training  or
                educational  programs.  Some  programs  may  be  voluntary,  while  others  will  be
                required.

                IMMIGRATION LAW APPLICABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
                The  Company  complies  with  the  Immigration  Reform  and  Control  Act  of  1986  by
                employing  only  U.S.  citizens  and  non-citizens  who  are  authorized  to  work  in  the
                United States. All employees are asked on their first day of work to provide original
                documents verifying the right to work in the United States and to sign a verification
                form required by federal law (Form I-9). If you cannot verify your right to work in the
                United  States  within  three  (3)  days  of  hire,  the  Company  is  required  by  law  to
                terminate your employment.

                ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
                Employees are hired to perform important functions at Big River. As with any group
                effort,  operating  effectively  takes  cooperation  and  commitment  from  everyone.
                Therefore, attendance and punctuality are very important. Unnecessary absences and
                lateness  are  expensive,  disruptive  and  place  an  unfair  burden  on  fellow  employees
                and  Supervisors.  We  expect  excellent  attendance  from  all  employees.  Excessive
                absenteeism  or  tardiness  will  result  in  disciplinary  action  up  to  and  including
                discharge.

                We  do  recognize,  however,  there  are  times  when  absences  and  tardiness  cannot  be
                avoided.  In  such  cases,  employees  are  expected  to  notify  Supervisors  as  early  as
                possible, but no later than one hour prior to your scheduled shift. In the event your
                immediate  supervisor  is  unavailable,  you  must  speak  with  a  manager.  If  you  must
                leave a voicemail, you must provide a number where your supervisor may reach you
                if need be.   Asking another employee, friend or relative to give this notice is improper
                and  constitutes  grounds  for  disciplinary  action.  Employees  should  call,  stating  the
                nature of the illness and its expected duration, for every day of absenteeism.

                You are expected to be at your workstation at the beginning of each business day. If
                you are delayed, you must call your immediate supervisor to state the reason for the
                delay.  As  with  absences,  you  must  make  every  effort  to  speak  directly  to  your
                supervisor and/or the department manager. Regular delays in reporting to work will
                result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
