                          sexual favors; and
                   •      retaliation for having reported the harassment.

               Harassment is prohibited in Cliff’s Amusement Park’s offices and in other work-related
               settings such as business trips, court appearances and business-related social events.

               Any employee who feels he or she is being harassed or discriminated against, or who is
               aware  of  harassment  or  discrimination,  should  report  it  immediately  to  HR.  Cliff’s
               Amusement Park will keep the matter confidential, to the greatest extent possible, by
               informing only individuals on a “need to know” basis. An investigation will be undertaken.
               If harassment and/or discrimination is found to have occurred, prompt and appropriate
               remedial action will be taken.

               Any employee found to have violated this policy is subject to disciplinary action, including
               termination  of  employment.  No  employee  will  be  retaliated  against  for  reporting
               harassment or discrimination or participating in a related investigation.

               Cliff’s Amusement Park will not tolerate, condone or allow harassment, whether engaged
               in  by  fellow  employees,  supervisors,  directors  or  by  clients,  vendors  or  other  non-
               employees  who  conduct  business  with  Cliff’s  Amusement  Park.  We  encourage  the
               reporting of all incidents of harassment, regardless of who the offender may be.

               Cliff’s Amusement Park has developed this policy to ensure that all its employees can
               work  in  an  environment  free  from  harassment.  Cliff’s  Amusement  Park  will  conduct
               periodic training so that all its employees are familiar with the policy and know that any
               complaint received will be thoroughly investigated and appropriately resolved.


               Open Door Policy/Problem Solving
               Cliff’s Amusement Park recognizes that employees will have suggestions for improving
               the workplace, as well as concerns about the workplace. The most satisfactory solution
               to a job-related problem or concern is usually reached through a prompt discussion with
               your supervisor. Please feel free to contact your supervisor with any suggestions and/or
               concerns.

               Cliff’s Amusement Park believes in open communication and our intention is that every
