Employees in San Francisco who receive Paid Family Leave (PFL) payments from California for
               purposes of new child bonding during the first year after the child’s birth or placement with the
               employee  through  foster  care  or  adoption  may  be  eligible  to  receive  Supplemental
               Compensation from Human Resources as required by law. The San Francisco Paid Parental Leave
               Ordinance applies to employees (including part-time and temporary employees) who meet all
               the following requirements:

               (1)  commenced employment with the employer at least 180 days prior to the start of the leave
               period.

               (2) perform at least eight (8) hours of work per week for the employer in San Francisco.

               (3) at least 40% of the employee’s total weekly hours worked for the employer must be in San
               Francisco; and

               (4) eligible to receive paid family leave benefits under the California Paid Family Leave program
               for the purpose of bonding with a new child.

               The Company provides Supplemental Compensation to eligible employees in San Francisco of up
               to eight weeks in a 12-month period to eligible employees to enable them to take paid time off
               to bond with their newborn child, newly adopted child, or child newly placed for foster care with
               the employee. In order to qualify for Supplemental Compensation, the employee must file a claim
               for any available government-administered benefits (e.g., PFL). Supplemental Compensation will
               be coordinated with any other wage replacement benefits received by the employee through the
               state  so  that  the  employee  receives  (collectively)  100%  of  their  regular  base  pay,  up  to  a
               maximum of eight weeks. California PFL (and/or any other available government-administered
               wage replacement benefit) must be taken concurrently with leave under FMLA/CFRA and does
               not  entitle  an  employee  to  take  any  additional  time  off.  For  more  information  about
               Supplemental Compensation, please contact Human Resources.

               This policy is intended to meet or exceed the benefits eligible employees are entitled to receive
               under the PPLO. The PPLO requires employers to supplement the PFL weekly benefit amount
               that the employee receives by paying the employee Supplemental Compensation in an amount
               such that the total of the California Paid Family Leave compensation the employee receives, and
               the Supplemental Compensation provides, but does not exceed, 100% of the employee’s current
               normal  gross  weekly  wage.  California  PFL/PPLO combine to  cover up to  eight  weeks  normal
               wages. Employees are protected from retaliation for exercising rights under PPLO.
