Upon receipt of a request for employment verification, the Company will only provide the dates of employment and
positions held and, with the written consent of the employee or former employee, salary information.

EMPLOYMENT CLASSIFICATIONS

Footprint uses the following designations to define employee status:

• Exempt Employees
Management, managerial, professional and outside sales employees whose positions meet specific tests
established by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and applicable state laws and standards and
who are paid on a salary basis are exempt from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws.

• Non-Exempt Employees
All employees whose positions are not considered “Exempt” under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act
and applicable state laws and standards are “Non-Exempt”. Non-exempt employees are subject to maximum
hour and overtime regulations, as well as specific time reporting requirements. Non-exempt employees are
eligible for overtime.

• Regular Full-Time Employees
Exempt or non-exempt employees who are not in a temporary or casual status and work at least 30 hours
per week on a continuing basis are classified as regular full-time employees.

• Regular Part-Time Employees
Exempt or non-exempt employees who are not in a temporary or casual status and who work less than 30
hours a week are classified as regular part-time employees.

Our relentless pursuit of finding ways to

improve performance and profitability,
while delivering innovative products to

exceed customer expectations.

INTRODUCTORY PERIOD

For every new employee, including rehires, the first ninety (90) days of employment is an introductory period. During
this first ninety (90) days, your job performance, attendance, attitude, and overall interest in your job will be observed.
It is also a time to get to know your fellow employees, your supervisor, Company culture and the tasks involved in
your job position, as well as to become familiar with the Company’s products and services. Your manager, or another
Company employee, will work with you to help you understand the needs and processes of your job.

While this is not a guaranty of continued employment, during this period, you may not be eligible for certain Company
benefits. Employees who fail to demonstrate the commitment, performance and attitude expected by Footprint may
be terminated at any time during the introductory period. However, completion of the introductory period does not
change or alter the “at-will” employment relationship. You continue to have the right to terminate your employment
at any time, with or without cause or notice, and the Company has a similar right.

As a result of an excused absence during your introductory period or for other reasons identified by management,
the Company may choose to extend your introductory period as necessary to give you a further opportunity to
demonstrate your ability to do the job. If your introductory period is extended, you will be notified.
