P. 8

physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: (1) submission to such conduct
               is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment; (2) submission or rejection of
               the conduct is used as a basis for making employment decisions; or, (3) the conduct has the purpose or
               effect of interfering with work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work
               environment.

               MTR’s policy also prohibits inappropriate, unprofessional and/or discourteous sexual conduct,  even
               though such conduct does not rise to the level of unlawful sexual harassment.

               If you experience or witness sexual or other unlawful harassment in the workplace, report it
               immediately to your supervisor.  Likewise, if you experience or witness any inappropriate,
               unprofessional and/or discourteous sexual conduct, you must report it to your supervisor immediately.
               If the supervisor is unavailable or you believe it would be inappropriate to contact that person, you must
               immediately contact any member of the Management Team with whom you feel comfortable making
               such a report.  You may also contact your Human Resource department. You can raise concerns and
               make reports without fear of reprisal or retaliation.

               MTR takes all good-faith allegations of discrimination, harassment, including sexual harassment, and
               retaliation seriously.  After receipt of a good faith complaint of discrimination, harassment, or
               retaliation, MTR will conduct a reasonably prompt and discreet investigation. To the extent possible, the
               confidentiality of the employee making the complaint, and that of any witnesses and the alleged
               harasser will be protected against unnecessary disclosure. When the investigation is completed, MTR
               will notify the reporting and/or affected employee of the outcome of the investigation and any action
               taken to resolve the issue.

               Any employee engaging in sexual or other unlawful harassment will be subject to disciplinary action, up
               to and including termination of employment.

               MTR strictly prohibits retaliation against any employee for making a good faith report of discrimination or
               harassment, for assisting  another employee  or applicant in making a report, for cooperating in an
               investigation  of such a complaint, or for filing an administrative claim  with the EEOC  or a state
               governmental agency.  Employees who experience or witness any conduct they believe to be retaliatory
               should immediately follow the complaint reporting procedure discussed above.

               Employees found to have violated this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
               immediate termination of employment.
