Conduct

In order to assure orderly operations and provide the best possible work environment, GMR
expects employees to follow rules of conduct that will protect the interests and safety of
personnel and the mission of the Company. Any employee conduct that violates Company rules
or that, in the opinion of the Company, interferes with or adversely affects our Company’s
mission or reputation is sufficient grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including
termination. In addition, the Company retains the right to end your employment at any time,
with or without cause or notice.

While it is impossible to list every behavior that is considered unacceptable in the workplace,
the following are examples of infractions of rules of conduct that may result in disciplinary
action, including suspension, demotion, or termination of employment.

1. Embezzlement or fraud
