9.9.3 Compensation
               A regular full-time employee will receive full pay for bereavement leave days for attending the
               funeral of an immediate or extended family member. Regular part-time employees will be paid
               on  a  prorated  basis  in  accordance  with  the  hours  they  work.  Bereavement  leave  should  be
               coordinated with the employee’s Supervisor.

               9.9.4 Additional Days Beyond Bereavement Leave
               Additional days beyond the bereavement leave days may be charged to annual leave or leave
               without pay and must be coordinated with the employee’s Supervisor and approved in advance.
               nSI understands the deep impact that death can have on an individual and a family, therefore
               additional unpaid time off may be granted at the Company's discretion. Such arrangements must
               be approved by the employee's supervisor.

               9.9.5 Procedure
               The  Supervisor  will  inform  the  Human  Resources  Manager  that  the  employee  is  eligible  for
               bereavement  leave.  The  Human  Resources Manager will  inform Payroll to add  bereavement
               leave  to  the  employee’s  timecard.  The  employee  will  enter  the  applicable  hours  under
               "Bereavement Leave" on their timecard.

               Other Disability Leaves

               In addition to medical or pregnancy-related disability leaves described above, employees may
               take  a  temporary  disability  leave  of  absence  if  necessary  to  reasonably  accommodate  a
               workplace  injury  or  a  disability  under  the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  or  state  law.  Any
               disability leave under this section will run concurrently with any medical leave to which the
               employee is entitled under the FMLA, CFRA, or California FEHA to the fullest extent permitted by
               applicable law.

               Temporary-disability leave is unpaid -Employees may be entitled to California State Disability
               Insurance (“SDI”) and/or other applicable state disability insurance. Employees taking disability
               leave must comply with the Family Care, Medical and Military Family Leave provisions regarding
               substitution of paid leaves, notice, and medical certification. For the purpose of applying these
               provisions, a disability leave will be considered to be a medical leave. Unless the employee is also
               eligible for leave under the FMLA/CFRA, the employee will not be entitled to any continued
               employer contributions towards any employee benefit plan unless otherwise required by law.
               An  employee,  however,  may  elect  to  continue  participating  in  such  benefit  plans,  at  the
               employee’s own expense, to the extent permitted by such plans. The duration of a leave under
               this section shall be consistent with applicable law, but in no event shall the leave extend past
               the date on which an employee becomes capable of performing the essential functions of their
               position, with or without reasonable accommodation. An employee desiring to return to work
               from temporary-disability leave shall be reinstated in accordance with applicable law and shall
               be  given  their  former  position  when  staffing  requirements  permit.    The  Company  cannot,
               however, guarantee that the employee’s former position, or any other position, will be available
