Employees with questions on this policy or issues related to drug or alcohol use in the workplace
                should raise their concerns with their supervisor or the Director of Human Resources without
                fear of reprisal.


                                                      Property Searches

                MTR may provide you with desks and other storage devices for your convenience but these are always
                the sole property of MTR.  MTR reserves the right to use any lawful method of investigation it deems
                necessary to determine whether any person has engaged in conduct that interferes with or adversely
                affects business.  A search does not imply an accusation of theft or that an employee has broken a
                company rule.

                Employees entering and leaving the facility are subject to questions and search at MTR's discretion.
                Desks, personal possessions, and any car parked on company property are subject to search. This
                policy applies to all employees.  Failure to comply may result in termination of your employment.

                                                    Progressive Discipline

                We believe that it is in the best interests of MTR to ensure fair treatment of all employees and make
                certain that disciplinary actions are prompt, uniform, and impartial. The major purpose of any
                disciplinary action is to correct the problem, prevent recurrence, and prepare the employee for
                satisfactory performance in the future.

                Disciplinary action may call for any of three steps -- verbal warning, written warning, final warning or
                dismissal -- depending on the severity of the problem and the number of occurrences.

                MTR recognizes that there are certain types of employee problems that are serious enough to justify
                either a suspension, or, in extreme situations, termination of employment, without going through the
                usual progressive discipline steps.



                                                 Business Ethics and Conduct

               The successful business operation and reputation of MTR is built upon the principles of fair dealing and
               ethical conduct of our employees. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful
               observance of the spirit and letter of all applicable laws and regulations, as well as a scrupulous regard
               for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity. We believe that open communication is
               important and support this with an open door policy.

               Additionally, MTR is dependent upon our customers trust and we are dedicated to preserving that trust.
               Employees owe a duty to MTR, its customers, and shareholders to act in a way that will merit the
               continued trust and confidence of the public.

               MTR will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects its directors, officers, and
               employees to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent of all relevant laws and
               to refrain from any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.
