               Disability Accommodation
               GMR will seek to provide reasonable accommodation for the known physical or mental
               limitations of a qualified employee or applicant as required by law. Reasonable accommodation
               varies from case to case and is evaluated on an individual basis. An employee who believes a
               disability affects that individual’s ability to perform a job function should notify the CEO or
               other member of the Executive Team for a discussion regarding finding an appropriate
               accommodation.

               Anti-Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation

               GMR is committed to providing a work environment free of discrimination and harassment. It is
               the Company’s policy that all employees have a right to work in an environment free of
               discrimination and harassment based on sex, age, race, national origin, religion, disability,
               sexual orientation, marital status, veteran’s status or any other basis protected by federal,
               state, or local law. To be clear, the Company prohibits harassment of its employees in any form
               for any reason—by Executives, supervisors, co-workers, customers or suppliers. If you feel you
               have been discriminated against or harassed in any way, it is generally best to tell that person
               that you find such behavior offensive, that such behavior is against GMR’s policy, and that you
               want him or her to immediately stop. However, if you are uncomfortable taking this action, or if
               the conduct does not stop after you have warned the offending person, you should report it
               immediately. You may report it to your supervisor, Human Resources, or any member of
               management.

               Every complaint will be investigated as promptly, thoroughly, and impartially as possible under
               the direction of the CEO. The Company will protect the confidentiality of complaints to the
               fullest extent possible, however there is no guarantee of confidentiality. If the investigation
               determines that discrimination or harassment has occurred, the CEO will take immediate and
               appropriate action.

               GMR will not retaliate against any employee for complaining about discrimination or
               harassment. If you feel you have been retaliated against, follow the complaint procedure
               above.

               The Company will ensure that managers and supervisors take positive steps to comply with this
               policy. They are required to be aware of potential discrimination situations, quickly resolve any
               discrimination issues that arise, and refrain from retaliation or harassment against any
               employee involved in the filing, investigation, or resolution of a discrimination claim.

               Supervisors, and all other employees are required to cooperate fully with the investigation and
               resolution of all discrimination and harassment complaints.
