                                              temporary workers and volunteers of MTR.

                                              Personal Use of Company Equipment and Supplies

                                              Computers, business equipment, supplies and the like are for business
               use and should not be used for personal matters.  Abuse or misuse of Company computers, supplies or
               the like may result in corrective action including or leading to termination.

               Acceptable Use of Company Property

               Special care should be exercised when utilizing, storing, and transporting Company issued equipment.  If
               equipment is damaged or misplaced, MTR will investigate the situation and determine if the employee
               will be responsible for reimbursement to MTR at the market value rate for any issued equipment that is
               lost, stolen, or damaged when taken off company property.

               Electronic Communication and Technology

               Electronic communications are herein defined as “Any writings, images, or multimedia which are created,
               displayed, transmitted or stored on one or several electronic communications systems.”

               MTR provides several technology-based communication systems to its employees (voice mail, electronic
               mail, computers, fax capabilities, instant messaging, and access to the Internet).  The purpose of these
               systems is to assist us in the conduct of essential Company business.

               Every employee is responsible for using the electronic mail (e-mail) system properly and in accordance
               with this policy.  Any questions about this policy should be addressed to your manager, a member of the
               IT department, or the Human Resources department.
               The e-mail system is the property of MTR.  We have provided the e-mail system for use in conducting
               Company business.  All communications and information transmitted by, received from, or stored in this
               system are Company records and is Company property. No expectation of employee privacy exists insofar
               as the right of MTR to monitor and inspect the content of electronic communications, with or without the
               sender/recipient’s knowledge and/or consent.
               You are reminded to be courteous to other users of the system and always to conduct yourself in a
               professional manner.   The e-mail system is not to be used to create any  offensive or disruptive
               messages.  Confidentiality of e-mail messages should not be assumed.  MTR reserves the right to review,
               audit, intercept, access and disclose all e-mail messages sent or received, via our internal system or the
               Internet.
