            BULLETIN BOARDS
            Your worksite posts on designated bulletin boards laws and regulations that affect your employment, responses to
            employee questions, notices of activities or special events, changes in policies or procedures and other topics of
            interest. Employees should check bulletin boards frequently to keep informed.

            If you have an announcement you would like to place on the board, please contact HR.  It will be reviewed for
            approval and posted on the communications board.  Announcements without prior approval will be removed.


            WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US


            EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

            We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to
            race, religion, color, sex, gender, including gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin,
            citizenship status, uniform service member status, age, genetic information, disability, or any other protected status
            in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.


            This policy extends to all aspects of our employment practices,
            including but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, discipline, firing,
            promoting, transferring, compensation, benefits, training, leaves
            of absence, and other terms and conditions of employment.

            Any employee who believes that he or she has been subjected
            to  discrimination  should  immediately  report  it  to  his  or  her
            immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Department. Do
            not assume the Company is aware of your problem. It is your
            responsibility  to bring your complaints  and concerns to  our
            attention so we can help resolve them. In  addition, any
            employee who observes another employee being discriminated
            against shall immediately notify his or her immediate supervisor
            or the Human Resources  Department. All complaints will be
            promptly investigated.

            Any employee, who, in good faith, makes a complaint of discrimination will be free from any reprisal or retaliation as
            a result of making the complaint. Investigators will make every effort to strike a balance between the parties’ desires
            for privacy and the need to conduct a fair and effective investigation.
            AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

            Footprint complies with its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, as well
            as any other applicable disability laws, and prohibits discrimination  against  individuals with  mental  or physical
            disabilities (or perceived  disabilities) in all areas  of employment, including application procedures,  hiring,
            advancement, termination  of employment, compensation, training, or other terms, conditions, and  privileges of
            employment. In addition, we will provide reasonable accommodations to enable qualified applicants and employees
            with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs, unless providing such an accommodation would
            impose an undue hardship on Footprint.

            If you believe you  need  an accommodation to perform the essential functions of your job, contact  the  Human
            Resource Department to discuss the need for an accommodation. Supervisors that learn of an employee’s need for
            accommodation should notify the Human Resource Department immediately. In most cases, the employee will be
