COMPETING EMPLOYMENT

            Accepting employment with, or compensation from, those doing business with Footprint, or an employer that is a
            competitor of Footprint, or engaging in a business or activity that interferes with your independence of judgment or
            performance of duties for Footprint may constitute a conflict of interest. If you have accepted such employment,
            please notify your immediate supervisor and/or Human Resources.

            While the Company does not prohibit employees from holding other jobs, the following types of outside employment
            are prohibited:
               •   Employment that conflicts with the employee’s work schedule, duties and responsibilities or creates an actual
                   conflict of interest;
               •   Employment that impairs or has a detrimental effect on the employee’s work performance with Footprint;
               •   Employment that requires employees to conduct work or related activities during working times or use any
                   of the Footprint’s tools, materials, or equipment; and
               •   Employment that directly or indirectly competes with the business of Footprint.
            For the purposes of this policy, self-employment is considered outside employment.
            The Company will not assume any responsibility for employees’ outside employment. Specifically, the Company will
            not provide workers’ compensation coverage or any other benefit for injuries occurring from, or arising out of, such
            outside employment.

            Footprint always requires all employees to maintain a clean and professional appearance. Footprint employees are
            expected  to  use  good  judgment  with  personal  appearance  and  hygiene  to  ensure  clothing  and  grooming  is
            appropriate for their work environment. Employees should avoid extremes in personal grooming and dress. In order
            to present a professional image, while also ensuring a safe and productive work environment, the following guidelines
            apply to all employees:

               •   Wear clean, properly fitting clothing or uniforms that are approved by the site. Employees may be asked to
                   return home and change into appropriate attire if they arrive at work inappropriately dressed or groomed.
               •   Employees should wear their current work identification badge when working.
               •   Shoes should be low-heeled, with a rubber sole and a closed heel and toe.
               •   Do not wear dangling or loose jewelry.
               •   Limit the use of perfumes and colognes.


            EMPLOYEE’S PERSONAL BELONGINGS
            Employees  should  maintain  an  uncluttered  work  area.  Employees  who  work  in  offices  may  display  or  store  a
            reasonable  number of  small  photographs, pictures and other personal  belongings that are  of the size and type
            appropriate  for  offices  and  appropriate  for  the  size  and  type  of  office  space  the  employee  occupies.  Personal
            belongings may not be displayed in work or public areas. Footprint reserves the right to require employees to remove
            personal belongings at its sole discretion. Personal belongings must not violate Company rules and may not include
            material that is discriminatory, harassing, violent or threatening.

            All persons on Company property or who are performing services on a Company project, and all property, equipment,
            and vehicles on Company property or being used in connection with the performance of work on a Company project
