                 This policy contains examples of prohibited conduct, and is not all-inclusive. Employees
                 are responsible to make sure any item they possess is not prohibited by this policy or
                 applicable  law.  Jones-Hamilton  Co.  has  the  right  to  prohibit  items  not  specifically

                 REPORTING VIOLENCE

                 All employees are responsible for notifying management of any threats that they witness
                 or receive or that they are told another person witnessed or received. Even without a
                 specific threat, all employees should report any behavior they have witnessed that they
                 regard as potentially threatening or violent or that could endanger the health or safety of
                 an employee or other person when the behavior has been carried out on company
                 premises, on a company-controlled site, or is connected to Company employment or
                 Company business.


                 Employees should promptly inform the Human Resource department of any protective or
                 restraining order that they have obtained that lists the workplace as a protected area.
                 Employees are encouraged to report safety concerns with regard to intimate partner or
                 domestic violence. Jones-Hamilton Co. will not retaliate against employees making good-

                 and community resources and providing time off for reasons related to intimate partner
                 violence.


                 Jones-Hamilton Co. will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of threats of
                 violence or incidents of actual violence and of suspicious individuals or activities. The
                 identity of the individual making a report will be protected as much as possible.

                 Jones-Hamilton Co. will not retaliate against employees making good-faith reports of
                 violence, threats or suspicious individuals or activities. In order to maintain workplace
                 safety and the integrity of its investigation, Jones-Hamilton Co. may suspend
                 employees suspected of workplace violence or threats of violence, either with or
                 without pay, pending investigation.

                 Anyone found to be responsible for threats of or actual violence or other conduct that
                 is in violation of these guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action up to and
                 including termination of employment.
