An employee taking pregnancy-related disability leave may substitute any available sick pay for
their leave. Otherwise, leave is unpaid. The substitution of paid leave for pregnancy-related
disability leave does not extend the total duration of the leave to which an employee is entitled.
Employees may be entitled to California State Disability Insurance (“SDI”) and/or other applicable
state disability insurance. Employees returning to work will normally be reinstated to their
original position or a comparable position, consistent with applicable law. Upon return from
leave, employees are required to provide Human Resources a release from their physician
indicating the employee’s ability to resume work. Taking a Pregnancy Disability Leave does not
protect an employee from non-leave related employment actions, such as a layoff.

Organ and Bone Marrow Donor Leave

Employees may take time off up to 30 business days in anyone-year period to donate an organ,
or five business days in anyone-year period to donate bone marrow, to another person. In
addition, employees may take an additional 30 business days of unpaid leave in a one-year period
for the purpose of donating an organ to another person. The “one-year period” is measured from
the date the employee’s leave begins and consists of 12 consecutive months. Employees shall
provide written verification of the medical necessity for such donation and shall provide as much
advance notice as possible. While on approved Organ/Bone Marrow Donor Leave, Company-paid
group health insurance coverage remains in effect for up to the maximum amount of such leave.
The leave time will be paid (other than as otherwise specified herein), except that employees will
be required to use up to two weeks of accrued sick or vacation time for organ donation, or five
days of accrued sick or vacation time for bone marrow donation. The leave time is not a break in
service for purposes of computing salary adjustments, sick leave, or vacation. Time off for
Organ/Bone Marrow Donation Leave does not run concurrently with any applicable Family Care
and Medical Leave. Upon expiration of Organ/Bone Marrow Donor Leave, employees will be
restored to the same or equivalent position unless conditions unrelated to the exercise of rights
under this section have arisen that prevent reinstatement.

Crime Victim’s Leave

Employees who are the victim of a crime, or who have an immediate family member, including a
domestic partner or child of a registered domestic partner, who is the victim of a crime, may take
time off to attend judicial proceedings related to that crime. Employees must give advance notice
of the need for time off unless giving advance notice is not feasible. Employees may use accrued
time off (or in the case of exempt employee vacation time, employees may request to substitute
vacation pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s unlimited vacation policy).
Otherwise, the time off will be unpaid.

Leave for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault or Stalking

An employee who is the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking (collectively,
“Violence”) may take time off to obtain judicial relief, including, without limitation, a restraining
order or other injunctive relief, to help ensure the health, safety, or welfare of the employee or
