Lupin Employee Handbook



                                              New York Supplement


               Lupin intends to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws in each of the states in
               which it operates. This supplement is in addition to and supersedes Lupin’s Employee Handbook
               in the event of an inconsistency. Lupin strives to stay current with all applicable employment laws.
               In the event you become aware that a policy as stated in the Handbook, this Supplement, or as
               otherwise practiced by Lupin is contrary to applicable law, please contact Human Resources
               immediately. We want to do our best to ensure that all Company policies are fully compliant.
               Thank you for your cooperation.

               Equal Employment Opportunity

               Lupin reaffirms its commitment as an Equal Opportunity Employer. It is the policy of the Company
               not  to  discriminate  against  any  employee  or  job  applicant  on  the  basis  of  age,  color,  creed,
               disability, marital status, military status, national origin (including ancestry), predisposing genetic
               characteristics,  race,  sex,  sexual  orientation  (including  actual  or  perceived  heterosexuality,
               homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality), or any other federal, State of New York, or local New
               York protected bases  with  regard to  any employment decision.  Lupin  is  committed to  hiring,
               promoting,  transferring  and  disciplining  employees  solely  on  the  basis  of  their  ability  and
               qualifications.

               Lactation Break Policy

               Lupin supports new mothers as they return to work after leave related to childbirth. As a result, all
               employees who are nursing mothers are permitted to take reasonable breaks to express breast milk
               for  up  to  one  (1)  year  after  the  birth  of  the  employee’s  child.  Lupin  encourages  all  eligible
               employees who intend to take breaks under this policy to notify Human Resources of their intent
               to do so when they are coordinating their return to work following maternity leave so that Lupin
               can prepare a designated location for the employee’s lactation breaks.

               Eligible employees may take a reasonable amount of break time to accommodate her need to
               express breast milk. This break time will be paid. Employees who use their meal break to express
               breast  milk  should  notify  their  immediate  supervisor/manager  and  will  be  compensated  in
               accordance with Lupin’s meal break policy. Employees who are required to record time must clock
               out at the beginning of their lactation breaks and clock back in after the break has concluded.
               Employees under this policy may begin work before or continue working past their regularly
               scheduled shifts to make up for any time used for lactation breaks with the prior consent of their
               immediate supervisor/manager.

               Time Off For Voting

               Employees who are eligible to vote in an election and who do not have 4 consecutive non-working
               hours between polls opening and closing, and who do not have sufficient non-working time to
               vote, are entitled to up to 2 hours paid leave to vote.  Employees must request the leave between 2
               and 10 days before Election Day. Lupin can specify whether it be taken at beginning or end of
               shift. If you plan to take such time off, notify your supervisor/manager.
