FL 33016 P: 305.722.2663 F: 305.558.9650 CONTRACTOR • KNOW THE SCORE Certification The Contractor Score is an empirical tool derived from the contractor's documented and verified information. It is based on objective calculations without subjectivity or bias. The main goal of Contractor Score is to provide a concise gauge whereby customers may evaluate the short-term liquidity and management capacity of the contractor relative to its own needs. It is not a bond nor guarantee of performance. The emphasis is on liquidity, working capital, leverage and profitability of the most recent fiscal year and fiscal quarter as it relates to the existing backlog. Available funds contributing to the liquidity may be internal or external. VisualScape, Inc. 17801 NW 137th Ave Miami,USA-Florida 33018 Has a Contractor Score of 2109 Effective Date as of Latest Financial Statements Submitted February 29, 2020 0 — 350 Weak 350 — 650 Fair 650 — 1000 Good Over 1000 Excellent Contractor Score GENERAL DISCLAIMER This financial information has been prepared by CONTRACTOR SCORE for the purpose of providing interested parties with general information about the Company. The data included was derived from the books and records of the Company. Although such information is believed to present fairly the history and business of the Company, CONTRACTOR SCORE does not make any representation as to the completeness or accuracy of the contents of these financial metrics. CONTRACTOR SCORE, specifically, is only calculating data provided to CONTRACTOR SCORE by the Company. CONTRACTOR SCORE has, in no manner, attempted to verify the information provided to them. Parties wishing to pwsue business with the Company shall be responsible for the verification of any information upon which they may make any decisions, The underlying financial information to Contractor Score is treated as confidential. The recipient shall use such information only for the purpose of evaluating conduction of business with the Company and not in any manner or for any purpose adverse to the interests of the Company. Contractor Scare is in no way a guarantee of the company's future performance. DCN 29277 CONTRACTOR . ,® 11--i KNOW THE SCORE April 13, 2020 The algorithm has over forty inputs from the information sent. The overall objective of the score is to show short-term liquidity and short-term financial position. There are some major categories of weighted emphasis. The most important category is liquidity. Ratios like the current, acid, working capital turnover (working capital relative revenue less subcontracts) are weighted the most. This emphasizes cash, receivables, payables and all short-term obligations. Next most important is leverage. A score with low total debt relative to equity is rewarded because if that contractor ever needed cash or more liquidity, they would be able to get it easier and cheaper than someone that is highly leveraged. This includes in some cases, "notes payable to shareholders". Even though VisualScape doesn't have any (I think), many smaller, especially Sub -S Corps, do have them. The shareholder would say, "that's my money and I'll postpone the debt if I need to." The customer is hearing the contractor say, "I am subordinating my risk by moving capital from equity into debt." The unsecured creditors (subs, vendors and partially some customers) would actually fall behind the shareholder if a bankruptcy were to occur. This sounds harsh, but it must all be taken from the customer's perspective. Net profits rank third in importance. A small loss for the year is not necessarily a score -buster if the other metrics show strength. Sustained losses or significant ones, however, deplete those other metrics. The line of credit is a "bonus" at the end of the calculation. It is there to enhance the score because it says a bank is willing to back that contractor by x dollars. Not having a LOC does not hurt the score, but having one helps a little. The main calculations weigh different aspects of the ratios and factors dynamically, or in other words, weighting increases or decreases depending on where the ratios fall. An example would be if the leverage ratios are strong, then some additional points are applied. The stronger the individual calculations are, the score gets an increasing boost. That's why the "excellent" range of scores run from 1000 to 2500 while the other categories don't appear to be linear. The liquidity ratios for VisualScape were in the "Excellent" zone 2.46 current. Your working capital turnover of 8.28 is Excellent. The statements showed a debt to equity ratio of 0.37 to 1. This indicates there is more equity than liabilities. While showing financial strength, it may "over -kill" or overly capitalized given the risks faced everyday. Most lenders and creditors like to see a contractor below 2.5 to 1 in today's market. That leverage number is a balancing act by being good stewards of the firm's equity, you don't want too much in the company at risk, but then again that's the signal to customers "VisualScape's fully staked".

COMMUNICATION PROGRAM REGARDING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS Before beginning a new project the management in charge must decide if any danger exists that may expose the employees, this will include analyzing the possibility of the presence of hazardous materials due to other companies that may be working on the same Project. This analysis of dangerous conditions is not only done with respect to chemicals, but also regarding any other type of danger, as for example, work near lakes or canals, on slopes, and where there may be a possibility of falling objects, etc. When the existence of a hazard is identified, before beginning work, a training meeting will be held with the employees who might be exposed to such hazards. The meeting will be recorded, and is to be signed by all who attend. Before asking an employee to work with chemicals or other potentially dangerous substances that might affect his health, the employee must first be trained to handle such products. Literature and MSDS Labels regarding dangerous products can be requested or reviewed at the office. Employees who apply pesticides must be appropriately trained and qualified. All other employees either working in areas connecting with treated areas or who may be scheduled to work in these areas in the future, must know what procedures to follow, in accordance with the specifications regarding the "restricted period" established by the product manufacturer. The law requires that all persons engaged in applying, handling or transporting pesticides must be appropriately trained. ).)GENERAL ANALYSIS OF HAZARDS IN LANDSCAPING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES This analysis is only a guide, the potential hazards you might encounter in the workplace are not included; therefore, it does not replace the analysis that must be done of each project.

ASSIGNMENT OF SAFETY TASKS Safety tasks coincide with the characteristics of each job and are independent of and do not contradict general safety regulations or Company policies. They are additional rules or procedures. Safety tasks are shown or explained to each employee, keeping in mind the type of work to be done. This is a responsibility that includes everyone, from the Managers to the supervisor who must explain the safety rules of the specific job assigned. These explanations, depending on the characteristic of the work to be done, will be imparted either individually or in group settings. Safety tasks may be explained with just a few words on other occasions, they may require practical demonstrations of how the work is to be done, considering the potential hazards of the Project. Regardless of the complexity of the Assignment of Safety Tasks, the signatures of the trainees will always be collected on the form, listing the items discussed, which will also include the date, name of the instructor, name of the project and training site. This form will then be filed as required. d.) PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE): Florida Law (FL Statute 440.09) states that if there is personal injury in a work-related accident, produced or caused because the employee was not using the protection required for the task, or the accident occurred in violation of safety standards, the workers compensation benefits could be reduced by 25%. Personal protection equipment includes the following: ■ Reflective vest: Mandatory for all employees at all times, especially when working need roadways or other high traffic areas. ■ Safety goggles/ lag sses: These are mandatory when handling substances that generate volatile particles that could harm the eyes such as; handling chemicals, operating manual power -driven equipment or cutting machines, grindstones, or plants, shrubs or trees whose branches or leaves can harm eyes during handling. The use of safety goggles will also be mandatory when the supervisor so decides or when required by the contractor. ■ Leather doves: Must be used whenever there is risk to the skin or the hands. Not using the leather gloves may be authorized by the supervisor provided the employee is not exposed to risk. ■ Rubber doves: Must be used when handling any type of chemical agent. ■ Leather boots: Mandatory for all company employees when working on projects. The boots will protect the ankles. The bootlaces must be correctly tied at all times. ■ Company caps: As a safety measure, employees will use caps in the workplace, as long as the use of construction hardhats is not required. Handkerchiefs or other cloths cannot be worn under caps. ■ Construction hardhats: These will be used when required by the contractor or when the Company mandates. The use of hardhats on top of caps or handkerchiefs will not be allowed. ■ Masks: These will be used when required to protect the respiratory system from substances suspended in the air. Mandatory for any employee handling any type of fertilizer or chemical agent. ■ Ear plugs or hearing protection: These will be used when operating manual power -driven equipment, cutting machines or any equipment whose noise levels mandates their use. ■ Face shields/protectors: These must be used when working with or around equipment that can generate particles that can injure the skin of the face and the eyes. When necessary and keeping in mind the specifications, characteristics of the site, existing regulations, etc., employees will be furnished with necessary equipment, such as safety lines, harnesses, rope, etc., all approved to ensure personal safety. All safety items used by employees will be furnished by the Company, and safety items belonging to employees will only be authorized if they satisfy standards and do not impair the uniform image of the Company. All items used by the Company must comply with ANSI regulations. e.) PROTECTION EQUIPMENT USED WHEN APPLYING PESTICIDES The law establishes that what the label says is the law! Read all the basic personal protection requirements and follow recommendations to best protect yourself. An additional rule of our Company, which does not contradict other regulations, is: When handling any chemical product, pesticide or fertilizer, whether concentrated or in solution, always use rubber gloves and a mask. If the use of special anti -chemical gloves or masks is indicated, these will be provided. The company will provide you with all the necessary resources to ensure your safety, according to the criteria or recommendations of the product manufacturer. £) ORDER AND CLEANLINESS Company management is responsible for maintaining order and cleanliness in all areas of their properties. Follow these recommendations: 1. Keep work tools and materials in appropriate containers or conveniently stored. 2. Deposit waste or garbage in the containers provided for this purpose. 3. When dismantling wooden structures, make sure nails are removed before storing or discarding the wood. 4. Store materials safely. Keep the floor clear of tools, bits of rebar, pieces of metal, wood or other waste, such as tree branches, wire, etc. 5. Keep aisles, stairs, doors, fire hydrants, etc., clear of all obstacles. 6. As work progresses, continue to keep your worksite clean. 7. If other companies are working at the site, coordinate with them to make sure their waste does not affect the safety of our employees. 8. If waste at the worksite makes it unsafe, do not begin work until all materials have been collected and stored and the area cleared. 9. If you detect hazardous conditions at the site that you cannot correct, immediately report this to L e until the d your superiors for remedial action, and do not allow employees near tsite anger has been eliminated. If the problem cannot be solved immediately, set up barricades to keep employees out of the area. g.) SAFETY WHEN USING MOTOR -DRIVEN TOOLS 1. Visually inspect the tools before use. Tr•y to identify damage or wear and tear that could make operating the tools unsafe or dangerous. 2. Do not allow anyone without the proper training to operate motor -driven tools. 3. Tools with circular movements, such as drills, discs, saws, etc., can suddenly produce a dangerous pull affecting the at•tns or the back. When handling this type of tool, be aware that this might occur if the tool gets stuck. 4. When using these tools assume the correct posture. Do not work with your body twisted, use both hands and ask for help if you need it. 5. All motor -driven tools can generate particles at high speed. Make sure there are no people nearby and use safety goggles. Some tools, such as grindstones, require the additional use of face shields. 6. Contact with moving mechanical or electrical parts can produce serious injuries. Keep all body parts away from such equipment or devices. 7. Always disconnect equipment before working with moving parts. For example, if the device is electrical, unplug it. If it is a device that uses gasoline, disconnect the wire to the spark plug, and if it is a pneumatic device disconnect the hose. 8. Always use grounding with electrical tools. 9. Parts that can wear out, such as grinders or bits, must frequently be checked and discarded if not in keeping with equipment parameters. In the case of grindstones, speed specifications and diameters established by the manufacturer cannot be exceeded. 10. Do not use a tool whose protective devices are broken or missing. Never alter or modify a safety device on equipment and do not allow the equipment to be used until its protective devices are back in place. Similarly, do not operate equipment whose protective devices are broken or have been removed. 11. Tools and equipment must be in good working condition and receive the required maintenance. 12. Only qualified employees are to use tools and equipment. 13. Safety devices such as guards, safety shutoff, handles, etc., must not be removed or altered. 14. Tools may only be used for the purpose for which they are manufactured. 15. Use of tools that are the personal property of employees will only be allowed if they comply with established safety requirements. 16. Respect and take care of all labels with safety indications for each piece of equipment. h.) HAND TOOLS Each tool has been designed to be safely utilized for a specific use. Use it only for that purpose. Take ,are of your tools and make sure they receive the required maintenance so they will be easy and safe to work with. 1. Use the correct tool for the work being done. 2. Keep hand tools in top condition, that is, sharpened, clean and lubricated. Do not abuse them. 3. Worn out or mistreated tools are dangerous. For example, pieces of a hammer with a loose handle, a chisel or a defective mushroom head hammer can come loose and be propelled. 4. Do not use one wrench as an extension for another one. Use the correct tool. 5. Do not use a pick instead of a sledgehammer. The head of the pick is rounded and could slip when it is struck. 6. Use safety lenses when hammering. 7. Hand tools must be stored in a safe place where they do not obstruct traffic. Do not leave them lying about on the floor. STATIONARY WORKSHOP TOOLS i This type of machinery, includng saws, pipe cutters, disc cutters, etc., must be operated by employees trained to use them and also trained in safety measures. Adjustment, servicing and repairs: Turn off the machine and take the necessary precautions to make sure it cannot start up again, accidentally. If possible, unplug or disconnect it. If the machine is permanently installed with a control box, turn off the switch, shut the box and put a "DO NOT TOUCH" sign on it with your name. When you have finished working on it, replace all protective and safety devices and make sure they function correctly. j.) SAFETY PRACTICES FOR MECHANICS AND SHOPS. 1. Loose clothing, shirttails outside pants, rings, chains, or thick bracelets cannot be used near machinery or equipment that has moving parts. Shirt sleeves must be correctly buttoned. 2. Do not use the mobile phones or radios while performing a task. Complete the call prior to commencing the task. 3. Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Always turn off the power source of all machinery or equipment before checking it or beginning repairs. Inspect your equipment at least once a day, before starting it up. 4. Whenever possible, use clamps or bench vises to secure the piece you are working on. Many machines have blocking devices, as for example, lawnmowers. Make sure these devices are in working order and NEVER remove them. 5. When working with hydraulic systems, avoid getting under such equipment. Always use mechanical blocking devices to prevent the equipment or part from falling on top of you if the system is defective. 6. Always know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher. Plan out how you will react in case of a fire or other emergency. Keep your work area clean and remove all waste. Keep deposits of combustible materials as far away as possible from areas where flames, sparks or electrical fires might occur. Keep these storage areas clear of waste and other inflammable materials. Make sure passageways and aisles are not obstructed. 7. Make sure fire extinguishers are easily accessible. Learn how to use them and check them frequently. Report if you have had to use a fire extinguisher or if any extinguisher needs recharging. A fire extinguisher must be no more than 25 feet away from welding equipment or an open flame. 8. Hoses and cords of welding equipment must be wound up, and if they are in use they are to be positioned so that they do not obstruct the traffic flow of employees along aisles. Gas cylinders must be stacked vertically and correctly chained to their carts. Gas regulators must be protected from blows. Check your welding equipment at least once a day, before using it. 9. Avoid breathing in fumes and vapors generated by welding equipment. Many of these fumes are toxic, some having an immediate effect while others accumulate. 10. The welder is responsible for clearing his surroundings of substances that could ignite during welding. 11. The welder must use personal protection equipment (PPE) to protect his eyes, face, hands and arms, all in accordance with current regulations. When doing electric arc welding, consider the safety of co-workers who might be in the vicinity and use the necessary materials or implements for protection and insulation. 12. If you have to climb a ladder to do welding work, never use a metal ladder. The ladder must be of a non -conducting material. Remember that any work done at a height of more than 6 feet requires the use of safety devices, such as harnesses and ropes, etc., and you must have been trained to use them. 13. Oxygen is explosive when it comes in contact with grease and oil. Keep all parts of welding equipment, such as regulators, hoses and torches clear of oil and grease. Your hands must also be clear of grease and oil before touching any part of oxyacetylene equipment. Keep oxy-gen tanks well away from equipment that could contaminate them with grease. 14. Never use oxygen to move a pneumatic tool or as a substitute for compressed air. If you do, the -re could be an explosion and your life will be at risk. Never leave a torch inside a vessel, tank, barrel or any other type of closed container. A small opening could create conditions for an explosion. 15. Do not roll cylinders along the ground. Never break an electric are on a cylinder. Do not use the protective cover to grip the cylinder. Never raise the cylinder using rope lashings. Raise cylinders that have been vertically fastened to an approved platform. When transporting cylinders, disconnect regulators. k.) HANDLING MATERIALS Manual handlings Use work gloves so as not to injure your skin. Position yourself correctly and test the weight of the equipment or plant material to be lifted. Ask for help if you feel the weight is too much for one person to handle, or if the shape of the item is cumbersome. When you have to pickup something, follow the correct procedures, such as: 1. Always use a back brace, correctly placed and fastened. 2. Take a stance where your legs are no further apart than the width of your shoulders; squat down next to what you will be picking up; keep your back straight and use your legs for impulse while lifting — and then if necessary — use the force of your arms. Never twist or turn your body when you are holding an object; turn by moving your legs. Keep the object as close to your body as possible. Do not move the object away from your body when getting ready to put it down. 3. If two or more people are carrying the object, before beginning, decide who will be giving the orders as to the direction in which the object should be moved. Make sure the path you will be using is clear, and if anything cannot be moved make sure you remember where it is. 4. Never carry a long object slung over your shoulder. Long objects should be carried by two or more people. Mechanized handling: 1. Know the characteristics and capacity of the mechanized equipment you are using and never exceed these. 2. Know the weight of the object to be transported or ask for help in estimating the weight. 3. Before fastening the load, check to make sure there are no cutting edges that might damage or cut through lashings. 4. When fastening the object, make sure you do so in places that will not damage it. 5. If the object may have a propensity to spin, use guy wires. Never try to guide it using your hands. S. Lashings, cables or chains used must be the ones certified for this purpose and they must be in perfect condition. Never use visibly damaged fastenings. 7. Each day, before using hoisting equipment, check the parts and test the movement, hoisting device and brakes. A good test is to brake with the object when it is still near the ground. 8. Both the equipment operator and assistants will be properly trained in using this type of equipment. 9. When hoisting an object, the movement must be smooth and uniform. Abrupt movements can damage lashings or the object. 10. Do not allow anyone to pass beneath the object or the area where it might fall. 1.) CLIMBING Ladde�•s: 1. Ladders and their extensions must be correctly fastened. Folding or trestle ladders must be used fully opened, leveled, and the top must never be used to stand on. An employee using such a ladder must stay at least two steps below the top step. Work standing up, facing the ladder with both feet on the rung. Always climb up or down a ladder facing it and never with your back to the ladder. 2. Check the ladder before use. Ladders will not be painted, except to number them. Do not use ladders as platforms or work benches. Only use them to climb up or down. Only one person at a time on a ladder. 3. If a ladder must be positioned over a door or aisle, block that access. 4. Do not carry anything in your hands when climbing up or down a ladder, so that both hands will be free to steady yourself. Carry a rope to pull up or lower anything you need. Always keep both feet on the steps. Do not try to reach or grab some -thing that is far from the ladder, nor try to support your foot on something that is beyond the ladder. Change positions on the ladder as frequently as needed. If it is absolutely necessary to work with your back to the ladder at a height of 6 feet or more, a harness and safety rope must be used. 5. Metal ladders cannot be used when doing electrical work, electric welding or near power lines or electric services. 6. When a ladder is not being used, store it in an appropriate place to protect it from wear and tear or damage. 7. Any damage to a ladder must be reported for re -pair or replacement. 8. All ladders must have a fastening cord and an anti -slip device on the bottom and must be properly secured at all times. When a ladder is used to access a work platform, the top of the ladder must extend at least three feet above the platform. 9. After raising a ladder extension, make sure the safety hooks are correctly in place and that the safety cord is fastened to the bottom step. The extension and the main section of the ladder must overlap for at least three steps. Do not use a ladder extension and the main body of the ladder separately as two different ladders. Folding or trestle ladders: These ladders must be fully opened when being used and their safety devices must be locked in place. They must never be used as straight ladders. Never stand on the top of the ladder or on the last two steps. Never place tools or materials on the platform or top of these types of ladders. Scaffolding: Because scaffolding is not normally used in Company business, if it is needed, information and indications for this equipment must be obtained from Company management. m.) )EXCAVATIONS Usually, the Company does not exceed a depth of 4 feet in excavations; however, if digging is to reach or exceed 5 feet, the regulations governing such excavations will apply in compliance with the "Trench Safety Act" Section 553.62 Florida Statue. In such case, the persons in charge will get in touch with the Company's Safety Department for the corresponding instructions. The following general guidelines are provided for excavations: 1. All excavation must be barricaded to protect employees, pedestrians, and the general public. 2. Before beginning the excavations, check with your supervisor whether the companies with underground installations have approved the excavation. 3. If the excavation is done in an area where people normally walk, put up barricades before beginning work. In pedestrian zones, fences and signals will be used to prevent confusion. Extreme importance will be given to ensuring the public's safety. 4. If a trench is to be left open at night, it must be protected by barricades or plywood, even if it is not in an area frequented by pedestrians. 5. All material removed during digging must be barricaded if it is not to be disposed of immediately. i. Report and restore any damaged utilities prior to leaving the site. n.) ELECTRIC INSTALLATIONS Only certified electricians may do repairs or installations on Company property or projects. o.) EMERGENCY PLANS The following emergency plan has been developed to indicate the steps to be taken in emergency situations: 1) GENERAL EMERGENCIES: As stated earlier, the Production Manager and Supervisor, as well as the Office, must know the exact address of the Project. Emergency situations include, among others, the following: ■ An accident endangering the life of one or more employees or person(s). ■ Death of any person, whether or not a Company employee. ■ An unconscious person or someone with severe hemorrhage or an amputated limb. ■ Fire that cannot be extinguished using available resources, which requires the presence of the Fire Department. ■ An accident that may pollute the environment due to a spill such as pesticides, oil, gas oil, gasoline, etc. ■ Criminal activity requiring immediate action by police. I+irst step: In all the preceding cases, the production manager or supervisor must call 911 if a phone is available, or radio the Company office to request immediate assistance. Attempt to stabilize the situation until professional emergency assistance arrives. Second step: Call the Director of Operations to report the accident and receive instructions. If possible, take photos to document the accident and try to analyze the details taking notes of anything that might help to prepare the subsequent report and witnesses. Third step: The production manager and/or the supervisor in charge of the job will prepare a detailed accident report to be sent to the Director of Operations. Include in your report the direct cause of the accident and any other items that may have contributed to the incident such as lack of training or incorrect written procedures. Remember the intent of an investigation is to find out what happened, why it happened, and to prevent it from happening again by correcting those items that were the cause(s). Depending on the type of accident, the Company's Safety Director/Consultant may carry out an additional investigation. If the accident is severe, that is the injured person(s) may suffer permanent disability or loss of life, the area where the accident occurred must be closed off until the police and company safety director/consultant complete their investigations. Obtain statements from all witnesses right away, take pictures, and cooperate with local authorities. 2.) SEVERE CLIMATE CONDITIONS CASES WHERE PREVENTIVE STEPS CAN BE TAKEN: Follow the instructions of the Hurricane Plan. Tropical Storm: Hurricane is approaching, the following steps are to be taken: 1. Fasten down any materials that might blow away. 2. In projects where barricades are being used and they cannot be removed for reasons of public safety, secure them with cables and place sandbags around the bases. Group and fasten in bundles barricades that can be removed, and put them in a safe place. 3. Remove all types of debris and waste from the worksites. 4. Fill up the fuel tanks of all vehicles and equipment. 5. Park vehicles and equipment in a safe place (far from trees and fragile construction). Good practice has been to cover windshields with bags of mulch. 6. Cover the windows and doors of our buildings with plywood and wood panels or hurricane shutters. 7. Check and adjust the anchoring of trailer offices. Those without anchoring should be secured with '/2" cable. 8. Take photos of all Company property, including the inside of offices to record their pre- hurricane condition. 9.

If you know you will not be at home during the hurricane, try to provide a telephone and address where you can be located. Remember that after a hurricane, the work done by a Company like ours is in great demand in the community. 16. Make sure that before the hurricane arrives, company managers have a list of telephone numbers and addresses of all personnel. 17. Stay informed of developments by tuning into local TV and radio stations. 18. All radio and Mobil phone users must try to keep their units on and charged in the event regular phone lines have been disrupted. 19. Employees will be provided with the managers' contact number for communications after the storm. It is the employees' responsibility to contact the office or managers within 24 Hours after the storm for work instructions. p.) SAFETY IN VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT 1. On a daily basis, inspect the vehicle or equipment assigned to you. 2. After leaving the yard, you are responsible for any breakage or defect if it has not been reported in time. 3. Report defects in your equipment or vehicle on the established form. 4. Systematic maintenance of your equipment or vehicle is part of safety in the workplace. Do not overlook this. 5. Use and make sure others use safety belts in vehicles or equipment. 6. When you detect something in the equipment that might endanger the safety of others, report it immediately. 7. Do not exceed the speed limit under any circumstances. 8. The Company will not pay speeding tickets, fines for running red lights, for not yielding the right of way, reckless driving, or not having a registration or insurance card, neither will it pay for not having a fire extinguisher, first aid implements or others required by DOT regulations. Compliance with these regulations is exclusively the driver's responsibility. q.) PROCEDURE IN THE CASE OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS 1. Remain calm and do not argue with anyone. 2. Ask if anyone involved in the accident is injured or hurt and requires help. 3. Determine exactly where you are. 4. Call 911 to report the accident if there is an injury or the pertinent police department for non- injury accidents. If you do not have a phone, inform your supervisor so that he can do this. 5. Call your supervisor to report what has occurred. 6. Concentrate when explaining what happened to the police officer. 7. Use neutral language when giving explanations to the police officer to convey that you are telling the truth and respect the police officer's authority. 8. Do not make deals or agree to anything, even if you are not at fault and have not sustained damage. 9. If someone is hurt or injured, help that person to the best of your ability, but do not move the person unless it is to save the person's life, as in the case of fire or danger of explosion. 10. If possible, depending on circumstances, write down the names of all passengers. 11. Check to see if there were any witnesses and if possible get their names and telephone numbers. 12. Make a note of the damage to all vehicles involved in the accident. If possible get the license plate number, make, model and year of each of the vehicles. Try to make a diagram of the accident. Write down the information regarding the jurisdiction of the police patrol that came to the accident, also write down the number of the police patrol car. 13. If the police officer does not give you a copy of the preliminary police report, ask for the case number and make a note of it. 14. Contact your branch's claims representative to advise them of the incident.

Should you encounter any prohibited discrimination, harassment, or retaliation against you or any other employee, please promptly bring the matter to the attention of the Human Resources Representative for investigation and, if warranted, immediate and appropriate corrective action. The Equal Opportunity Commission Guidelines, issued under the Civil Rights Act, define sexual harassment as: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or 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 an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment." If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual or other harassment, other inappropriate sexual behavior or discriminatory conduct, the Company encourages, but does not require, you to indicate promptly and firmly to the offender that the behavior is unacceptable. If you believe that you have been subjected to harassment or discrimination based on any protected category, or retaliation of any kind, or if you are a witness to such harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, the Company requires that you promptly report any incident, regardless of who the offender is. The report must be made to your manager, president of the company, or to the Human Resources Representative. You always have the option of reporting the conduct directly to the Human Resources Representative if you prefer. Any employee who is found to have engaged in harassment, discrimination, or unlawful retaliation is subject to discipline up to and including termination. Any person found to have filed a false complaint against another employee may also be subject to discipline up to including termination. All harassment complaints will be promptly and thoroughly investigated; handled to the extent possible, in a confidential manner, and no retaliation will occur for bona fide complaints of harassment. This Company is committed to complying with applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), as well as all other applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding the employment of qualified persons with a disability. The Company prohibits discrimination against a qualified individual with a known disability. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination with respect to application, hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, benefits, training, and all other aspects of employment. 2 The Company will reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with a known disability if necessary to enable an individual to perform the essential functions of the individual's job.

All such inquiries will be treated as confidential and will only be disclosed on a need -to -know basis. 2. SUBSTANCE ABUSE 2.1 Drug -Free Workplace Policy in General VisualScape Inc. believes that drugs (including alcohol), taken for non -medicinal purposes, have no place on the job. An employee's use of drugs and/or alcohol subjects the employee, co- workers and the public to unacceptable safety risks; impairs the employee's ability to perform on the job; and undermines VisualScape's ability to operate effectively and efficiently. Accordingly, VisualScape Inc. has implemented a drug-free workplace policy consistent with both federal law and Section 440.101, et seq., Florida Statutes. It is a condition of employment that all employees abide by this policy concerning drugs and alcohol. Employees and supervisors will be required to participate in a Drug and Alcohol Free Awareness Program on an annual basis. Taking or being under the influence of any controlled substance or intoxicant, without a prescription, during work time -- on or off VisualScape's premises -- will not be tolerated. Manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, possessing, selling, or using any non-prescription controlled substance or intoxicant during work time -- on or off Company premises -- is strictly prohibited. This prohibition also applies to alcohol and the misuse or abuse of prescription and/or over-the-counter drugs. Any employee convicted of a controlled substance -related violation, including a plea of nolo contendere or no contest, must notify his/her manager within five (5) days of such conviction or plea. Employees who violate this rule will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination, and may forfeit eligibility for medical and indemnity benefits and/or unemployment compensation benefits. At its discretion, VisualScape Inc. may require employees who violate this policy to successfully complete a drug or alcohol abuse assistance or rehabilitation program, at the employee's own expense, as a condition of their continued employment. 3 Employees who are taking prescription or non-prescription drugs which could affect their ability to perform their job in a safe and efficient manner must notify their immediate manager of this fact. Further, job applicants and employees have the right to confidentially consult the Medical Review Officer (MRO) for technical information regarding prescription and non-prescription medication and may contest or explain the test result to the MRO both before and after being tested. Prior to testing, the job applicant or employee will be given a list of the most common medications by brand name or common name and chemical name which may alter or affect a drug test. This information is also provided on the Drug Testing Chain -of -Custody Form. A Drug Use Information Form, which is a confidential report, may be filled out by job applicants and employees before or after being drug tested. This form permits individuals to provide to the MRO a list of all prescription and non-prescription drugs they are currently using or have used in the last month, as well as any other information they consider relevant to the test. 2.2 Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy In order to maintain the safety and efficiency of its operations and to protect employees and the public, employees may be required to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing if there is a cause for reasonable suspicion of substance abuse. VisualScape Inc. will select a licensed laboratory which will perform the drug and/or alcohol testing. The following is a list of some but not all circumstances that could be indicators of a substance abuse problem and considered reasonable suspicion: (a) Observed alcohol or drug abuse during work hours on Company premises; (b) apparent physical state of impairment; (c) incoherent mental state; (d) marked changes in personal behavior that are otherwise unexplainable; (e) deteriorating work performance that is not attributable to other factors; and (f) accidents, on-the-job injuries, or other actions that provide reasonable cause to believe the employee may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or that result in off -premises medical attention to the employee, injury to others, or property damage in excess of $250.00. VisualScape, at its sole discretion, may also conduct follow-up substance testing when an employee enters an employee assistance or rehabilitation program, random or periodic substance testing of all employees, routine testing of job applicants, and routine testing of employees returning to work after a leave of absence of two weeks or more. Employees who refuse substance testing under these circumstances will be terminated. The type of testing to be conducted includes, but is not limited to, any chemical, biological or physical instrumental analysis, and may require the collection of blood, urine, breath, saliva, or hair of an employee or job applicant. VisualScape Inc, shall test for the following substances: (a) Alcohol (booze, drink, distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, beer, intoxicating liquors, alcoholic beverages, etc.); (b) Amphetamines (Binhetamine, Desoxyn, Dexedrine); (c) Cannabinoids (marijuana, hashish, hash, hash oil, pot, joint, roach, spleaf, grass, weed, reefer); (d) Cocaine (coke, blow, nose candy, snow, flake, crack); (e) Phencyclidine (PCP, angel dust, hog); (f) Methaqualone; (g) Opiates (opium, clover's powder, paregoric, parepectolin); (h) Barbiturates (Phenobarbital Tuinal, Amytal); (i) Benzodiazophines (Ativan, Azene, Klonopin, Dalmane, Diazepam, Halcion, Librium, Poxipam, Restoril, Serax, Tranxene, Valium, Vertron, Xanax); (j) Methadone (Dolophine, Methadose); (k) Propoxyphene (Darvocet, Darvon N, Dolene); and (I) Metabolites of any substances listed above. Under most circumstances, positive confirmed test results of the presence of 0.05% alcohol or the presence of any other controlled substances in the body is a violation of this policy and shall subject the employee to discipline, up to and including termination. A copy of VisualScape's Drug -Free Workplace Policy, including the procedures for contesting positive test results, is available for review from the Human Resources Representative. A list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of employee assistance programs and local drug rehabilitation programs are also on file with the Human Resources Representative, 2.3. Confidentiality All information, interviews, reports, statements, memoranda and drug test results, written or otherwise, received by VisualScape Inc. as part of this drug testing program are confidential communications. Unless authorized by state laws, rules or regulations, VisualScape Inc. will not release such information without a written consent form signed voluntarily by the person tested. VisualScape Inc. or its legal counsel may disclose such information in the event that a challenge or other form of civil, disciplinary or administrative litigation is commenced by a job applicant or employee. 3. IMMIGRATION LAW COMPLIANCE The Company is committed to employing only United States citizens and aliens who are authorized to work in the United States and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of citizenship or national origin. In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, each new employee, as a condition of employment, must complete the Employment Eligibility Verification Form 1-9 and present documentation establishing identity and employment eligibility. Former employees who are rehired must also complete the form if they have not completed an 1-9 with the Company within the past three years, or if their previous 1-9 is no longer retained or valid. Employees with questions or seeking more information in immigration law issues are encouraged to contact the Human Resources Representative. Employees may raise questions or complaints about immigration law compliance without fear of reprisals. 5 4. YOUR EMPLOYMENT STATUS Your employment at visualScape Inc.is "AT WILL." Employment can be terminated by either party, at any time. This includes termination with or without cause, and with or without notice. Any oral statements or assurances to the contrary are not binding on the employer and should not be relied upon by the employee or job applicant. If you believe such assurances have been made, contact the administration for confirmation in writing. The Company is not responsible for, and will not stand by, any statements or assurances that are not reaffirmed in writing by an officer of the Company. Statements on the employment application, or in this handbook, training manuals, or other Company documents, do not constitute or imply an employment contract and should not be relied upon by the employee or job applicant under any circumstances as assuring continuous employment or superseding the company's "AT WILL" employment policy. 5. INTRODUCTORY PERIOD All new employees have an introductory period of 90 calendar days from the date of hire, and are not eligible for paid holidays, for leave of any kind, or any other company sponsored benefits until the expiration of the probationary period and/or dates of eligibility. During this introductory period, you will be evaluated by your supervisor and manager as to what is expected from you, with respect to your job performance. You will be carefully observed to make sure your working habits, your aptitude, and the way you relate to your superiors and to your fellow employees are in accordance with the policies established by the company. Throughout your employment, and regardless of any oral representations made to you by anyone to the contrary, you serve at the will and pleasure of our Company and may be discharged at any time with or without cause and with or without notice. However, for purposes of the Florida Unemployment Compensation Law, we are evaluating you for the first ninety (90) calendar days of your employment. You should understand that if you are discharged for unsatisfactory work performance during that period of time, our Company will not have its account charged for any unemployment benefits you might be eligible for in the future. Completion of the introductory period does not alter your status as an employee at the will and pleasure of the Company. 6. ORIENTATION The Company offers orientation to all new hires as the introduction to their jobs, co-workers and the organization by providing them with information regarding such items as benefits, policies, procedures, Company history, goals, culture and work rules.

WORKWEEK AND WORKDAY Our workweek begins on Monday at 12:00 am and ends on Sunday at Midnight. 10. YOUR EMPLOYMENT TYPE You will be informed of your initial employment classification and of your status as an exempt or non-exempt employee during your interview or orientation session. You will also be informed by your manager of any change in your exemption status if your position changes during your employment as a result of a promotion, transfer, or otherwise. 10.1. HOURLY EMPLOYEES: The standard workweek is five 8 -hour days, totaling 40 Hours. At times, however you may be requested to work for more than forty hours, for which the Company will pay overtime to non-exempt employees. All employees are required to comply with the Company's time record-keeping procedures. You will report for work in the morning and leave in the evening at times established by your manager. Daily and weekly schedules may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company and to meet the varying conditions of our business. Changes in work schedule will be announced as far in advance as possible. (a) Overtime Pay: If you are classified as anon -exempt employee, you will receive compensation for approved overtime work. Employees working overtime without approval will be subject to disciplinary action. All non-exempt employees will be paid at their regular rate of pay, straight time, for all hours worked up to and including the fortieth hour in each workweek, and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in each workweek. Overtime will be computed in actual minutes worked. Vacation time, sick leave, holidays, or any other paid or unpaid absences are not considered when calculating your overtime, under Federal, State, or Local law. Managers may schedule overtime or extra shifts when it is deemed necessary. Employees are not permitted to work overtime without the prior approval of their manager. Our intent is to compensate in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and Local laws. An attempt will be made to plan overtime with consideration for employees and customers. 10.2. EXEMPT EMPLOYEES: Exempt staff is paid on a salary basis for all hours worked each week. Exempt employees are expected to work whatever hours are required to accomplish their duties, even if it exceeds their normal work week. No overtime will be paid to exempt staff. We are committed to compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and all regulations interpreting the Act. While exempt staff is generally entitled to their full salary regardless of the actual hours worked, certain deductions from salary are permitted, such as, but not limited to, personal absences of a day or more, leave of absence under the Family Medical Leave Act, or 7 deductions for disciplinary suspensions of a full day or more made in good faith for infractions of workplace conduct rules or safety violations of major significance. All pay deductions for exempt staff must be authorized by Human Resources Representative. Pay deductions related to quality or quantity of work is strictly prohibited. If any exempt staff believes that a deduction is improper, they should immediately notify a member of Human Resources Representative. Any deductions not authorized by the FLSA will be reimbursed. 11. SCHEDULING WORKING HOURS, LUNCH PERIODS AND REST BREAKS It is difficult for a company in the landscape industry to maintain a fixed working schedule. Employees may be released before the normal 8 -hour workday or requested to work for more than 8 hours. Lunch period and rest breaks will be scheduled according to the requirements of the job, the needs of the customer, and the hours set forth by Management. The workday will include an unpaid 30 -minute break for lunch. Hourly field employees will receive a paid break of 15 minutes in the first four hours of a shift. The timing of the break period will be determined by the supervisor or manager, based on Company needs. 12. RECORDING YOUR WORK TIME Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every non-exempt employee. The Company must have an accurate record of time worked in order to calculate an employee's pay and benefits. All staff members must keep track of their actual working hours on a daily basis using the Company time recording system. All hourly non-exempt employees must accurately record their time to show when they began working, when they took meal breaks, and when they stopped working each day. No employee is permitted to clock in or out for another employee. Failure to follow time recording procedures will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Any errors in an employee's timekeeping must immediately be brought to the attention of the Human Resources Representative who is authorized to make the proper adjustments. Hourly employees must report to their manager upon arriving to work in the morning and prior to leaving work in the evening. Times of arrival and departure will be recorded by the supervisor each day on the employees' daily payroll time card. Hourly employees are paid from the time they clock in at the yard until the time they finish their work in the afternoon. Time spent traveling as a passenger in a Company vehicle from the yard to the jobsite is considered hours worked and is compensable. Hourly employees do not have to return to the home office in the afternoon after their work at the job site is completed. Employees are free to leave directly from the job site after their work is completed. Hourly employees are welcome, however, to return to the yard in the Company vehicle. Time spent traveling as a passenger in a Company vehicle going from the job site back to the home office is NOT treated as work hours, and is therefore not compensable time. Time spent as the driver of a company vehicle to transport employees from one location to another will be treated as work hours. Crew members are not expected to do any work when they return to the home office at the end of the work day. If crew members perform any work when they return to the home office in the afternoon, they must report it to their supervisors, and on their time cards. Crew members must obtain approval from their supervisor in order to perform any such work at the yard in the afternoon. E Exempt salaried employees will also be required to record hours worked on a time sheet or other method established by management. Time Cards are to be kept for all employees. Each supervisor is responsible to note each employees time in and out. Employees need to make sure their supervisor checks them in and out by signing their time sheet or card daily. All employees will only be paid for the number of hours worked during that time period. It is the employee's responsibility to sign their time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. Any errors on your time card should be reported immediately to your supervisor, who will attempt to promptly correct legitimate errors. If for some reason, the error is not corrected, it is the employee's responsibility to bring the matter to the attention of the Human Resources Representative. It is the employee's responsibility to sign their time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. If corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and the supervisor must verify the accuracy of the changes by initialing the time record. Failure to properly record your time on a daily basis or the failure to use the time recording system on a daily basis will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY AN EMPLOYEE WORK "OFF THE CLOCK." NO MEMBER OF MANAGEMENT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DIRECT ANY HOURLY EMPLOYEES TO WORK UNLESS THEY ARE RECORDING THE HOURS WORKED, 13. PAYDAYS &PAY PERIODS Hourly shop, hourly administrative, non exempt and exempt employees are paid every two weeks. Paychecks are issued to the employee every other Friday, at the end of the workday. Paychecks are issued for the two weeks prior to the week the check is issued and do not include payment for work performed during the week the check is issued. 13.1. Automatic Deposit: is an optional benefit we provide our employees. Most of our employees find it convenient to have their regular paycheck automatically deposited in their bank account. If you would like to make arrangements for automatic deposit, contact the Human Resources Representative. VisualScape Inc. reserves the right to amend pay policies at its sole discretion. No one may pick up an employee's paycheck except the employee or with proper identification a member of that employee's immediate family. 14. DEDUCTIONS FROM PAYCHECK Take-home pay is always less than taxable earnings; the paycheck reflects earnings for the pay period minus deductions. Federal Income Tax, Social Security (FICA), and Medicare payment are deductions required by law. VisualScape Inc. reserves the right to comply with any additional court orders regarding deductions or withholding of pay. 0 15. REVIEWING YOUR PAY STATUS All non-exempt employees will be eligible for an annual performance appraisal within one year of their anniversary date or one year from their last wage increase, whichever is more recent. Appraisals do not guarantee an automatic wage increase. Any monetary increases as a result of an appraisal will be reflected in the employees pay within 45 days of the employee's annual appraisal date. There are no automatic salary increases for exempt employees based upon tenure, seniority, special education, training or added responsibilities. All salary increases are based on merit or promotion, subject to the Company's sole discretion and exclusive evaluation of an employee's performance. 16. PERSONNEL RECORDS The Company will safeguard the information contained in the each employee's personnel and medical records. Further, the Company will inform an employee prior to releasing any personnel information from their files except for regular reporting information required by law. Employee personnel files are the property of the Company. Employees may review their personnel files by making an appointment with Human Resources to do so during regular business hours. Employees may not remove any portion of their personnel file from the Company premises. Employees should advise Human Resources of applications for credit of verifications of employment that might require the release of employment and salary information. It is very important that employee records be kept on an up-to-date basis. All employees must notify their manager and Human Resources within three business days of any changes that take place regarding their name, marital status, address, telephone number, number of dependents, person to contact in case of an emergency, work eligibility status, change of beneficiary for insurance, and any other pertinent information. Any changes to marital status or number of dependents will require execution of appropriate I.R.S. forms. Forms are available in Human Resources to request information, make status changes, etc. (It is the employee's responsibility to ascertain that changes are reported so that correct information is in the personnel files). Providing false or misleading information to the company in any respect is grounds for immediate discharge. 17. PROMOTIONS The Company expects to fill existing vacancies whenever possible through promotions from within the organization. Employees are selected with due regard for their seniority, on the basis of their ability, education, experience, and other qualifications necessary for the position. Each employee is urged to develop skills in his or her present job and to learn as much as possible about the Company, its operations, and its policies to be qualified for promotions when the opportunity presents itself. 10 1Os LAYOFFS/REDUCTIONS IN FORCE Whenever layoff of personnel or a reduction in force is necessary for business or other reasons, those employees affected will be given as much advance notice as possible and as permitted Dy law. No recall rights exist. Selections for layoffs or reductions in force will be made based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, seniority, job classification, and job performance. Our Company does not maintain a severance plan. 19. RESIGNATIONS In accordance with the "AT WILL" policy of VisualScape Inc. ,any employee who desires to resign can do so at any time. However, as a courtesy to our Company, the resignation should be submitted in writing at least two weeks prior to the employee's departure. Failure to do so will result in the loss of any accrued benefits. All Company property and employee uniforms in the possession of the employee who resigns must be returned. Under no circumstances should you consider that there is any contract, guarantee, or promise of any type that would entitle you to accrued benefits or severance pay. 19.1. Job Abandonment: Employees of the Company that are absent for more than two consecutive days without notifying a manager or human resource representative are considered to have voluntarily abandoned their employment with the Company. The effective date of termination will be the last day the employee reported for work. If an employee abandons a job, he or she will not be entitled to accrued vacation/sick days. 20. OPEN-DOOR POLICY AND COMPLAINT PROCEDURE We at the Company are dedicated to continuing what we believe to be an excellent employee relations program. We will do our best to maintain good working conditions, competitive wages and benefits, open communications, and employee involvement. It is our policy that every employee, regardless of position, be treated with respect and in a fair and just manner at all times. However, from time to time, problems or difficulties may arise. We want to know about these problems. Whatever the question or problem, you are now a part of the team, and your concerns are important. In order to provide an orderly method for addressing your concerns and problems, we request that you discuss your complaints with your immediate manager, if the problem is not satisfactorily resolved, with the Human Resources Representative, or any officer of the Company for a final resolution. In the event you have a concern, and for personal reasons you cannot discuss the issue with a manager, you may go directly to the Human Resources Representative, or President of the Company. The Human Resources Representative, Manager, or the President is available for advice and assistance in solving your problem at any time. The Company will attempt to keep all such expressions of concern, their investigation, and the terms of their resolution confidential, recognizing, however, that in the course of investigating and resolving the concerns some dissemination of information to others may be appropriate. Further, no employee will be discriminated or retaliated against, or in any way penalized, for using these procedures. Again, please bring your complaints and concerns to our attention so that we can resolve them. Please do not assume that the Company is aware of your concerns or problems. We cannot help you unless you tell us what it is we can do. We think you'll find this Company to be receptive to your concerns. We are always looking for ways to make this a better place to work. The Company believes that prompt and effective use of this complaint procedure will help maintain a pleasant work environment for all. 21. LACTATION POLICY Employer complies with all federal and state laws and regulations concerning breast-feeding and nursing mothers and provides assistance for nursing mothers who want to express and store breast milk at workplaces during business hours.

RULES REGARDING ABSENCES Regular attendance is of vital importance for the daily operation of our company. Nevertheless, we understand that in certain occasions it becomes necessary for the employee to be absent from work, in such cases, the following rules must be reserved: (a) Permission must be obtained for absences. Requests for absences are evaluated to determine the legitimacy of the request. Absence without permission will be considered a violation of the Company rules and as such, subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. (b) If the absence results from an emergency situation, the employee must notify his or her manager as soon as possible, preferably before the workday begins. (c) Employees absent for more than three consecutive days on sick leave will have to submit a written justification from a licensed physician. (d) Employees absent from work, without permission, for two consecutive days will be considered as job abandonment (See Part II Section 20 Page 13) (e) Employees absent from work, without permission, on three occasions within one year can be dismissed The rules detailed above apply to all absences recognized by the company. 2. ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY Each of our employees plays an important role in getting the day's work done. Therefore, each employee is expected to be at his a her work assignment on time each day and to remain there throughout his or her scheduled hours. Absenteeism or tardiness, even for good reason, is disruptive of our operations and interferes with our ability to satisfy our customers' needs. Excessive, absenteeism or tardiness, whether excused or unexcused, can result in discipline, up to and including termination. If an employee is absent without proper authorization, deductions shall be made from their pay for the period of absence, in cases where the employee is not dismissed. The determination of whether absenteeism or tardiness is excessive is within the sole discretion of the Company. If you are going to be late or absent from work for any reason, you must personally notify your manager as far in advance as possible, so that proper arrangements can be made to handle your work during your absence. Of course, some situations may arise in which prior notice cannot be given. In those circumstances, you are expected to notify your manager as soon as possible. Leaving a message does not qualify as notifying your manager -- you must personally contact your manager. Any absence without notifying your manager will be treated as an unexcused absence.

Employees absent without authorization may be considered to have voluntarily resigned and/or abandoned their employment. Employees are not permitted to leave work during their regularly scheduled hours without their managerI s permission. If you are required to leave work early, you must also personally contact your manager and obtain his or her permission. Nothing in this policy is intended in any way to interfere with, coerce, or restrain any employee from exercising his or her rights under any State or Federal labor law, including the National Labor Relations Act. 13 IV.

The employee's preference for vacation time will be granted whenever possible provided that the employee's choice of vacation does not conflict with the proper functioning of his/her department. For this reason, a manager reserves the right to accept the employee's request for vacation or ask the employee to choose a more convenient time. No employee may take vacation time before he/she has earned it. Employees will not be allowed to carry over any unused vacation to the following year or have vacation paid out in lieu of time off.

FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE In accordance to the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended, and its implementing regulations (the "FMIA"), and current Company policy, an Eligible Employee is entitled to unpaid family and medical leave, or military family leave as set forth below: 5.1. Definitions: (a) Eligible Employees: Employees who have worked for the Company for at least twelve (12) months, and have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 month period immediately before the commencement of the leave, if employed at a job site where there are 50 or more employees within a 75 mile radius. (b) Covered Service member: A member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or 15 therapy, is otherwise in outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness incurred in the line of duty on active duty. (c) Covered Military Member: The employee's spouse, son, daughter or parent who is a member of the reserve components or a retired member of the Regular Armed Forces or Reserve, and who is on active duty or call to active duty status. (d) Next of Kin: The nearest blood relative (in order of priority under the FMLA or as designated by the Covered Servicemember) of a Covered Servicemember other than the Covered Servicemember's spouse, parent, son or daughter for purposes of Caregiver Leave as specified under the FMLA. (e) Outpatient Status: With respect to a Covered Servicemember, the status of a member of the Armed Forces assigned to either a military medical treatment facility as an outpatient; or a unit established for the purpose of providing command and control of members of the Armed Forces receiving medical care as outpatients. (f) Serious Injury or Illness: Any injury or illness incurred by a Covered Servicemember in the line of duty on active duty that may render the servicemember medically unfit to perform the duties of the servicemember's office, grade, rank, or rating. (g) Serious Health Condition: An injury, illness, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves inpatient care or continuing treatment by a health care provider. 5.2. Reasons for Leave: All employees of the Company are directed to review the Department of Labor Notice to Employees referenced as "Employee Rights and Responsibilities under the Family and Medical Leave Act" (WHD Publication 1420). Please Note that all employees may at any time during regular Company hours obtain copies of the forms referenced herein from the Human Resources Representative. Further, employees with questions or complaints regarding the FMLA should contact the Human Resources Representative. In accordance with applicable regulations and the FMLA, as amended, the Company provides the following types of FMLA leave: (a) Basic Leave: Eligible Employees will be granted a total of up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the following reasons: (i) the birth of the employee's child and in order to care for that child; (ii) the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care, and to care for the newly placed child; (iii) the care for a spouse, child, or parent (not parents "in law") who has a serious health condition; or (iv) the employee's own serious health condition that renders the employee unable to perform one or more of the essential functions of his or her job. (b) Qualifying Exigency Leave: Eligible Employees with a Covered Military Member may use their 12 -week leave entitlement to address certain "qualifying exigencies." Qualifying exigencies include short notice deployments (7 or fewer days), military events and related activities, arranging for alternative childcare, addressing certain financial and legal arrangements, attending certain counseling sessions, rest and recuperation attending post -deployment reintegration briefings, and additional activities as agreed to by the Company and the employee. An employee whose family member is on 16 active duty or call to active duty status in support of a contingency operation as a member of the regular Armed Forces is not eligible to take leave because of a qualifying exigency. Cl Caregiver Leave: Eligible Employees will be granted a total of up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a Covered Servicemember. An employee requesting this type of leave must provide the Certification of Serious Injury or Illness of the Covered Servicemember - For Military Family Leave (DOL Form WH -385). This certification is not tied to a serious health condition as for other types of leave. In order to take leave to care for a Covered Servicemember, the Eligible Employee must be the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or Next of Kin of the Covered Servicemember, 5.3. Limitations on Leave Period: As specified in paragraph 2 above, an Eligible Employee is entitled to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid Basic Leave or unpaid Qualifying Exigency Leave, or up to twenty-six (26) weeks of unpaid Caregiver Leave, in any 12 -month period. Eligible employees taking time off to care for a Covered Servicemember are limited to a combined total FMLA leave of twenty-six (26) weeks. The 12 -month period for Basic Leave and Qualifying Exigency Leave shall be measured for all employees based on a 12 -month period measured backward from the date an employee uses any family or medical leave. The 12 -month period for Caregiver Leave shall be measured for all employees beginning on the first day of such leave forward. Entitlement to leave for the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care will expire 12 months from the date of birth or placement. The leave is without pay, pursuant to the conditions set out in this policy. Employee leaves of absences ("LOA") run simultaneously. For example, an employee may incur a non -work related illness or a work-related illness or injury that also causes a "serious health condition" making the employee unable to perform the functions of his/her position within the meaning of the FMLA. In such circumstances, any short-term disability LOA or workers' compensation LOA will also count against the employee's twelve (12) week FMLA Basic Leave entitlement. If a husband and wife both work for the Company, the Company will limit the aggregate leave taken by both employees to a total of 12 weeks during the 12 -month leave period if the leave is taken for the birth of employee's own child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or to care for the employee's parent with a serious health condition. If the leave is for the care of a Covered Servicemember, the Company will limit the aggregate leave taken by both employees to a total of twenty-six (26) weeks during the twelve (12) month leave period. However, if the leave is taken by either spouse to care for the other who is seriously ill and unable to work; to care for a child with a serious health condition; or for his/her own serious illness, then each employee is eligible for 12 weeks of leave. 5.4. Paid/Unpaid leave: For all family and medical leave requested the employee is required to use all of his/her accrued leave time including vacation leave and sick leave. The remainder of the leave will then consist of unpaid leave. The employee must satisfy all procedural requirements of the Company's paid leave policies. Paid time off must also be used to cover any elimination period or to supplement any monies received under a disability plan or insurance policy or any other benefit plan or insurance policy (such as workers' compensation) that may apply to the employee's FMLA leave, so long as the supplementation is permitted by the terms of the particular benefit plan or insurance policy. 17 5.5. Intermittent/Reduced Leave: Intermittent leave is a leave taken in separate blocks of time. A reduced work schedule leave is a leave schedule that reduces an employee's usual number of hours per workweek or hours per workday. Leave due to a Qualifying Exigency may be taken intermittently or on a reduced work schedule. Employees may not take intermittent or reduced leave for the birth or placement of a child. In the case of serious health conditions or for the care of Covered Service members, leave may be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary. In such cases, the health care provider must submit a declaration stating why the leave must be granted on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis and the amount of time the leave on that basis will be needed. Employees are expected to make a reasonable effort to schedule intermittent leave so as to not disrupt the operations of the Company. If an employee requests intermittent or reduced leave for planned medical treatment or recovery from a serious health condition, then the employee may be required to transfer temporarily to a position with equivalent pay and benefits that better accommodates recurring periods of leave. 5.6. Request for Leave: An employee giving notice of the need for FMLA leave must complete the Company's required Request for Family or Medical Leave form available from the Human Resources Representative and return it to the Human Resources Representative. The completed request form must state the reason for the leave, the duration of the leave, and the starting and anticipated ending dates of the leave. If an employee fails to explain the reasons for the needed leave, the leave may be denied. 5.7. Notice for Leave: Where the need for FMLA leave is foreseeable based on an expected birth, placement for adoption or foster care, planned medical treatment for a serious health condition of the employee or a family member, or the planned medical treatment for a serious injury or illness of a Covered Servicemember, an employee must provide notice to the Company by submitting the Request for Family or Medical Leave form at least thirty (30) days before the leave is to begin. If an employee's leave must begin within 30 days, the employee must give written notice to the Human Resources Representative using the Request for Family or Medical Leave form as soon as is practicable after the necessity for the leave becomes known to the employee. An employee that fails to give the required 30 day advanced notice for foreseeable leave may have their leave delayed until 30 days after the date the employee provides the required notice. Where the need for FMLA leave is not foreseeable the employee must provide notice as soon as practicable under the facts and circumstances of the particular case, and in accordance with the Company's customary notice requirements. Accordingly, even where the leave is unforeseeable, the employee must still submit the Request for Family or Medical Leave form to the Human Resources Representative absent unusual circumstances such as emergency medical treatment. Notice may be provided by an employee's spokesperson (e.g. spouse, adult family member, or other responsible party) if the employee is unable to do so personally. 5.8. Certification of Leave: In the case of medical conditions, the Company makes certain reasonable inquiries to determine if the FMLA leave is because of a serious health condition, and requests medical certification to support the need for such leave as outlined herein. The Company also requests certification to support the need for Qualifying Exigency Leave, and for Caregiver Leave. Where the employee requests Basic Leave, the Company may require a second or third opinion, at its expense, to determine if the requested leave is FMLA-qualifying. Recertification, if any, shall be at the employee's expense, and will be requested by the Company in accordance with the FMLA, as amended. An employee has an obligation to respond to an employer's questions designed to determine whether an absence is potentially FMLA-qualifying. Failure to respond to the Company's inquiries regarding the leave request may result in a delay or denial of FMLA protection if the Company is unable to determine whether the leave is FMLA-qualifying. Employees are directed to return all medical certification documentation to the Human Resources Representative; this medical certification documentation should not be returned to the employee's direct supervisor. (a) Certification of Serious Health Conditions for Basic Leave: The application for leave based on the "serious health condition" of the employee or the employee's spouse, child, or parent must be accompanied by a "Certification of Health Care Provider" completed by the health care provider of the employee or the employee's ill or injured family member. A certification is required for a continuous, intermittent or reduced workday or workweek leave schedule. The Certification of Health Care Provider must be completed in its entirety. You may request a copy of the Certification of Health Care Provider for Employee's Serious Health Condition (DOL Form WH -380-E) or the Certification of Health Care Provider for Family Member's Serious Health Condition (DOL Form WH -3804) from the Human Resources Representative. If the FMLA leave is requested as a result of the employee's serious health condition, the medical certification must state that the employee cannot perform the essential functions of his or her job and must specifically list which essential functions cannot be performed. The employee must obtain from the Company a statement of the essential functions of the employee's position and provide it to his or her health care provider along with the Certification of Health Care Provider for Employee's Serious Health Condition (DOL Form WH -380-E) form. - When leave is foreseeable, a completed Certification of Health Care Provider must be submitted to the Human Resources Representative within 15 days of notification of the necessity of a leave. In addition, recertification of medical necessity will be required every 30 days unless the circumstances permit a shorter period as allowed under the FMLA. (b) Certification of Qualifying Exigency: An employee requesting leave related to a Covered Mary Member must provide proof of the call-up or active military service at the time of the request.

This Certification of Qualifying Exigency shall be submitted to the Human Resources Representative within 15 days of notification of the necessity of a leave. (c) Certification of Caregiver Status: An employee requesting Caregiver Leave must provide documentation of the Covered Servicemember's qualifying illness, injury, recovery, or need for care at the time of the request. A copy of the Certification for Serious Injury or Illness of Covered Servicemember (DOL Form WH -385) to be completed by the employee or Covered Servicemember and health care provider and returned to the Human Resources Representative is available from the Human Resources Representative.

Employer Response to Employee Request: After an employee requests FMLA leave, the Company shall provide the employee with a Notice of Eligibility and Rights & Responsibilities within five (5) business days. After the Company has reviewed the leave request information provided by the employee including any certification documentation, and determined the leave is for an FMLA qualifying reason, the employee will be promptly notified whether the leave has been approved and that accrued paid leave must first be used. The Company's notice to the employee will be confirmed in writing by way of a Designation Notice within five (5) business days.

CELLULAR PHONES This policy outlines the use of personal cell phones at work, the personal use of business cell phones and the safe use of cell phones by employees while driving. 8.1. Personal Cellular Phones: While at work, employees are expected to exercise the same discretion in using personal cellular phones as is expected for the use of company phones. Excessive personal calls during the work day, regardless of the phone used, can interfere with employee productivity and be distracting to others. A reasonable standard the company encourages is to limit personal calls during work time to no more than one per day as needed. Employees are therefore asked to make any other personal calls on non -work time where possible and to ensure that friends and family members are aware of the Company's policy. Flexibility will be provided in circumstances demanding immediate attention. All personal cell phones and other communication devices are required to be kept in silent mode while employees are on duty. The Company will not be liable for the loss of personal cellular phones brought into the workplace. 8.2. Personal Use of Company -Provided Cellular Phones: Where job or business needs demand immediate access to an employee, the Company may issue a business cell phone to an employee for work-related communications. To protect the employee from incurring a fax liability for the personal use of this equipment, such phones are to be used for business reasons only. Phone logs will be audited regularly to ensure no unauthorized use has occurred. Employees in possession of Company equipment such as cellular phones are expected to protect the equipment from loss, damage or theft. Upon resignation or termination of employment, or at any time upon request, the employee may be asked to produce the phone for return or inspection. Employees unable to present the phone in good working condition within the time period requested (for example, 24 hours) may be expected to bear the cost of a replacement. Employees who separate from employment with outstanding debts for equipment loss or unauthorized charges will be considered to have left employment on unsatisfactory terms and may be subject to legal action for recovery of the loss. 8.3. Safety Issues for Cellular Phone Use: Employees whose job responsibilities include regular or occasional driving and who are issued a cell phone for business use are expected to refrain from using their phone while driving. Safety must come before all other concerns. Regardless of the circumstances, including slow or stopped traffic, employees are strongly encouraged to pull off to the side of the road and safely stop the vehicle before placing or accepting a call. If acceptance of a call is unavoidable and pulling over is not an option, employees are expected to keep the call short, use hands-free options if available, refrain from discussion of complicated or emotional issues, and keep their eyes on the road. Special care should be taken in situations where there is traffic, inclement weather, or the employee is driving in an unfamiliar area. 30 In situations where job responsibilities include regular driving and accepting of business calls, hands-free equipment will be provided to facilitate the provisions of this policy. Employees whose job responsibilities do not specifically include driving as an essential function, but who are issued a cell phone for business use, are also expected to abide by the provisions above. Under no circumstances are employees allowed to place themselves at risk to fulfill business needs. Employees who are charged with traffic violations resulting from the use of their phone while driving will be solely responsible for all liabilities that result from such actions. Violations of this policy will be subject to the highest forms of discipline, up to and including termination. 9. GPS POLICY Our company phones and radios carry abuilt-in GPS tracking system which will be used by the company. GPS tracking technology allows us to track employees at any time. However, the Company reserves the right to use such technology only throughout our regular business hours as is defined by your job title. The Company has no interest in using, or intention to use, this device and technology outside business hours and will not track its employees outside our regular business hours. The GPS tracking system will allow us to know when the employee started to work and when the employee stopped working. The system will also inform us the address of the employee's location at any time during working hours, and will reflect the employee's mileage. Additionally, this technology will permit us to provide lost employees directions to their work sites as needed. 10. CRIMINAL CHARGES, ARRESTS, AND CONVICTIONS You are required to immediately advise within 24 hours after being arrested, charged, and/or indicted for the commission of, or participation in, a felony or misdemeanor (including criminal traffic violations), for conduct occurring on or off-duty. ["Non -criminal traffic violations" do not involve prosecuting authority and only a traffic citation is issued. Examples of "criminal traffic violations" are reckless driving offenses, driving with suspended license, and driving "under the influence."] Depending upon the nature and severity of the charge, you may be subject to suspension pending the outcome of the charges and/or an investigation of the facts and circumstances of the incident by the Company. Failure to advise The Human Resources Representative in a timely manner may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. 11. JURY DUTY Employees have a legal and civic obligation to serve as jurors or witnesses if summoned or subpoenaed to do so. If you receive a call to jury duty, please notify your manager and human resources representative immediately and submit a copy of the summons to serve, so s/he may plan the department's work with as little disruption as possible. 31 While you are on jury duty, the Company will pay the difference between your basic rate of pay and the total amount of pay you receive from serving as juror. Employees who are released from jury service before the end of their regularly scheduled shift or who are not asked to serve on a jury panel are expected to call their manager as soon as possible and report to work if requested. 12.

Examples of "distribution" include, but are not limited to, distribution of political literature, subscription forms or informational bulletins.

Employees shall not enter the interior of the Company property or other working areas more than 15 minutes before the start of their shift and shall not remain in the interior of the Company property or other working areas more than 15 minutes after the end of their shift. 32 Any violation of this policy is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. In addition, all employees should immediately notify their manager or another member of management of any solicitation or distribution of literature in violation of this rule by non- employees. Nothing in this policy is intended in any way to interfere with, coerce, or restrain any employee from exercising his or her rights under any State or Federal labor law, including the National Labor Relations Act. 14. THEfT Our society has laws against theft and so do we. Any employee found to be engaged in theft from the Company will be subject to prosecution, as well as discipline. If you must remove Company property from the premises, you must obtain written permission in advance from your manager. 15.

Inspections may be conducted at any time at the discretion of the Company. Failure to cooperate with such inspections is a violation of this policy. 16. WORKPLACE VIOLENCE The safety and security of the Company's employees, customers, clients, vendors, contractors and the general public are of vital importance. Therefore, acts of violence made by an employee against another person's life, health, well-being, family, or property will not be tolerated. Employees found guilty of acts or threats of violence will be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate termination. The Company prohibits the following: (a) Any actor threat of violence made by an employee against another; (b) Any act or threat of violence, including physical harm; (c) Any act or threat of violence which endangers the safety of employees, customers, clients, vendors, contractors, or the general public; (d) Any act or threat of violence made directly or indirectly by words, gestures, or symbols; or (e) The use or possession of a weapon of any kind, ammunition, fireworks, or other similar items on Company premises, except as permitted by the Preservation and Protection of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Motor Vehicles Act of 2008 (Section 790.251, Florida Statutes). It is a requirement that employees report to their manager, in accordance with this policy, any behavior that compromises the Company's ability to maintain a safe work environment. All reports will be investigated immediately and kept confidential except where there is a legitimate need to know. 33 1I . PUBLIC INTERNET COMMUNICATION POLICY The Company recognizes the rights of individuals to participate in online social web sites, blogs, wikis, and other shared media forums (collectively referred to as "Web Logs"). The guidelines outlined below have been developed to protect the rights of the Company, its employees, and you from libelous claims. Employees may access authorized Company Web Logs for business use only. Employees are prohibited from accessing non -authorized Web Logs for personal use during company time and on company equipment. When communicating on a Web Log, employees should always post a disclaimer stating that the views and opinions found on their Web Log are personal views and in no way represent the views or opinions of the Company or any of its entities. Employees are reminded that they are legally responsible for any commentary posted on a Web Log. Employees can be held liable for posting inaccurate, defamatory, obscene, proprietary, or libelous content. For these reasons, employees should exercise caution with regard to posting exaggerations, colorful language, obscenity, copyrighted materials, or other questionable content on any Web Log. The Company's confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information may not be disclosed on non -authorized Company Web Logs or to any non -authorized third party. Confidentiality agreements signed by employees will apply to this policy. Employees are to review their signed confidentiality agreements for guidance as to what constitutes confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information prior to participating in any Web Log.
