According to the rules of the Internal Revenue Service (the
                                         “IRS”), because cash and cash equivalents, such as gift cards/
                                         certificates, have a readily ascertainable value, they are
                                         considered taxable income regardless of the face amount of
                                         the gift card/certificates. For employees, the value of gifts and
                                         gift cards/certificates is considered compensation subject to
                                         federal, state and employment tax withholding, and reporting
                                         on Form W-2. There is no de minimis fringe benefit amount
                                         relating to gift cards/certificates. Therefore, Human Resources
                                         must approve and directly purchase all gift cards that are used
                                         as employee recognition. No other employee is authorized
                                         to purchase gift cards for employee recognition. Human
                                         Resources will be responsible for reporting recipient names of
                                         gift cards to payroll to allow for proper tax treatment.

                                         PROCEDURE TO REPORT CONCERNS
                                         If you have questions about deductions from your pay,
                                         please contact Human Resources immediately or to report
                                         suspected violations of pay policies, call the 24-hour Corporate
                                         Compliance Hotline at 844-765-6704. Every report will be
                                         fully investigated, and disciplinary action will be taken where
                                         appropriate, including reimbursement for improper deductions
                                         or unpaid hours worked and correction of processes. In
                                         addition, the Company will not allow any form of retaliation
                                         against individuals who report alleged violations of this policy
                                         or who cooperate in the Company’s investigation of such
                                         reports. Retaliation is unacceptable, and any form of retaliation
                                         in violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to
                                         and including discharge.
