1-3Reasonable Accommodations & Interactive Dialogue

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. is committed to complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws governing reasonable accommodations of individuals, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). To that end, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will endeavor to make a reasonable accommodation to applicants and employees who have requested an accommodation or for whom Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. has notice may require such an accommodation, related to an individual's:

Disability, meaning any physical, medical, mental, or psychological impairment, or a history or record of such impairment;

Sincerely held religious beliefs and practices;

Needs as a victim of domestic violence, sex offenses, or stalking;

Needs related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and/or

Any other reason required by applicable law, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of our business.

Reasonable accommodations can take many forms. For example, reasonable accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions include but are not limited to things such as the ability to carry or keep water near and drink, as needed; allowing the employee additional restroom breaks; allowing the employee whose work requires standing to sit and whose work requires sitting to stand; allowing the employee breaks, as needed, to eat and drink; accommodations related to lactation; time off to recover from childbirth; modification of equipment; appropriate seating; temporary transfer to a different position that the employee is able to perform; restructuring job duties; light duty; or a modified work schedule. Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will work with the employee to determine what accommodation is appropriate for the employee, given the employee's unique circumstances, that does not impose an undue hardship on Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.

Any employee who would like to request an accommodation based on any of the reasons set forth above should contact the Human Resources Department. Accommodation requests can be made in writing using a form which can be obtained from the Human Resources Department. If the employee who has requested an accommodation has not received an initial response within five (5) business days, they should contact the Head of Human Resources.

Unless otherwise required by law, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. may request that the employee provide supporting documentation. Cooperating with Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. by returning requested information in a timely fashion is required.

After receiving a request for an accommodation or learning indirectly that the employee may require such an accommodation, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will engage in an interactive dialogue with the employee.

Even if employee has not formally requested an accommodation, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. may initiate an interactive dialogue under certain circumstances, such as when Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. has knowledge that employee's performance at work has been negatively affected and a reasonable basis to believe that the issue is related to any of the protected classifications set forth above, in compliance with applicable law. In the event Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. initiates an interactive dialogue, it should not be construed as Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s belief the employee requires an accommodation, but will serve as an invitation for the employee to share with Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. any information the employee desires to share, or to request an accommodation.

The interactive dialogue may take place in person, by telephone, or by electronic means. As part of the interactive dialogue, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will communicate openly and in good faith with the employee in a timely manner in order to determine whether and how Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. may be able to provide a reasonable accommodation. To the extent necessary and appropriate based on the request, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will attempt to explore the existence and feasibility of alternative accommodations as well as alternative positions for the employee. Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. is not required to provide the specific accommodation sought by the employee, provided the alternatives are reasonable and either meet the specific needs of the employee or specifically address the employee's limitations.

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will endeavor to keep confidential all communications regarding requests for reasonable accommodations and all circumstances surrounding the employee's underlying reason

for needing an accommodation.

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will not allow any form of retaliation against employees who have requested an accommodation, for whom Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. has notice may require such an accommodation, or who otherwise engage in the interactive dialogue process.

Employees with questions regarding this policy should contact the Human Resources Department.

1-4Pregnancy Accommodations

In compliance with the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and other applicable federal, state, and local laws, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will not discriminate against employees or applicants because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, and will endeavor to provide reasonable accommodations for any known limitations arising from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the Company's business.

Reasonable accommodations that may be provided include:

occasional breaks to rest, drink water, or eat;

additional restroom breaks;

the ability to sit if the position requires standing, or to stand if the position requires sitting;

lactation accommodations;

a modified work schedule;

leave for related medical needs, including recovery from childbirth;

available light duty assignments;

temporary transfer away from hazardous duty or to a different position that the employee is able to perform;

restructuring of job duties; and

modification of equipment or provision of appropriate seating.

The employee is expected to cooperate in providing medical or other information reasonably necessary to verify the pregnancy-related condition or the need for accommodation. Under the PWFA, the Company will not require documentation for accommodations that are obvious or self-evident, such as brief breaks for water or restroom access. Any medical information provided will be kept confidential.

The Company will not require any employee to take leave (paid or unpaid) if another reasonable accommodation is available. If the employee takes medical leave due to a pregnancy-related condition or childbirth, the Company will hold the employee's job open for the employee to the same extent it holds positions open for employees who take medical leave for other reasons.

The Company will not retaliate against any employee because the employee is pregnant, may become pregnant, has requested a pregnancy-related accommodation, or has otherwise exercised rights under the PWFA or any related law. The Company also will not refuse to hire or to promote a candidate because the individual is pregnant or may become pregnant.

Employees with questions regarding this policy or who wish to request a reasonable accommodation should contact the Human Resources Department.

1-5Non-Harassment

It is Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s policy to prohibit intentional and unintentional harassment of or against job applicants, contractors, interns, volunteers, or employees by another employee, manager, vendor, customer, or any third party on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information ,or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws (referred to as "protected characteristics"). Such conduct will not be tolerated by Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.

The purpose of this policy is not to regulate any employee's personal morality, but to ensure that no one harasses another individual in the workplace, including while on Company premises, while on Company business (whether or not on Company premises) or while representing the Company. In addition to being a violation of this policy, harassment or retaliation based on any protected characteristic as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws also is unlawful. For example, sexual harassment and retaliation against an individual because the individual filed a complaint of sexual harassment or because an individual aided, assisted, or testified in an investigation or proceeding involving a complaint of sexual harassment as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws are unlawful.

Harassment Defined

Harassment generally is defined in this policy as unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of any actual or perceived protected characteristic or has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Harassment can be verbal (including slurs, jokes, insults, epithets, gestures, or teasing), visual (including offensive posters, symbols, cartoons, drawings, computer displays, text messages, social media posts, or e- mails), or physical conduct (including physically threatening another, blocking someone's way, etc.). Such conduct violates this policy, even if it does not rise to the level of a violation of applicable federal, state, or local laws. Because it is difficult to define unlawful harassment, employees are expected to behave at all times in a manner consistent with the intended purpose of this policy.

Sexual Harassment Defined

Sexual harassment can include all the above actions, as well as other unwelcome conduct, such as unwelcome or unsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, conversations regarding sexual activities and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

Submission to that conduct or those advances or requests is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; or

Submission to or rejection of the conduct or advances or requests by an individual is used as the basis

for employment decisions affecting the individual; or

The conduct or advances or requests have the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Examples of conduct that violate this policy include:

Unwelcome flirtations, leering, whistling, touching, pinching, assault, or blocking normal movement;

Requests for sexual favors or demands for sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment;

Obscene or vulgar gestures, posters, or comments;

Sexual jokes or comments about a person's body, sexual prowess, or sexual deficiencies;

Propositions or suggestive or insulting comments of a sexual nature;

Derogatory cartoons, posters, and drawings;

Uninvited touching of a sexual nature;

Unwelcome sexually related comments;

Conversation about a person's own or someone else's sex life;

Conduct or comments consistently targeted at a single gender, even if the content is not sexual; and

Reporting Procedures

If the employee has been subjected to or witnessed conduct which violates this policy, the employee should immediately report the matter to Chief Human Resources Officer. If the employee is unable for any reason to contact this person or if the employee has not received an initial response within five (5) business days after reporting any incident of what the employee perceives to be harassment, the employee should contact the Human Resources Department. If the person toward whom the complaint is directed is one of the individuals indicated above, the employee should contact any higher-level manager in the reporting hierarchy.

Investigation Procedures

Every report of perceived harassment will be fully investigated, and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. All complaints will be kept confidential to the extent possible, but confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. All employees must cooperate with all investigations conducted pursuant to this policy.

Retaliation Prohibited

In addition, the Company will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who report unwelcome conduct to management or who cooperate in the investigations of such reports in accordance with this policy. If the employee has been subjected to any such retaliation, the employee should report it in the same manner in which the employee would report a claim of perceived harassment under this policy.

Violation of this policy including any improper retaliatory conduct will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

1-6Drug-Free and Alcohol-Free Workplace

To help ensure a safe, healthy, and productive work environment, to protect Company property, and to ensure efficient operations, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. has adopted a policy of maintaining a workplace free of drugs and alcohol. This policy applies to all employees and other individuals performing work for the Company.

The unlawful or unauthorized use, abuse, solicitation, theft, possession, transfer, purchase, sale, or distribution of controlled substances (including medical marijuana), drug paraphernalia, or alcohol by any individual—whether on Company premises, while on Company business, or while representing the Company—is strictly prohibited. Employees and other individuals working for the Company are also prohibited from reporting to work or performing work while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substances that may impair their ability to perform their job or pose safety concerns, except when use is pursuant to a licensed medical practitioner’s instructions and the practitioner has authorized the employee or individual to report to work. This exception does not extend the right to report to work under the influence of medical marijuana or to use medical marijuana as a defense to a positive drug test, except as permitted under applicable law.

Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Refusal to submit to a drug test, when required by the Company—including for reasonable suspicion—may also result in termination.

The Company maintains a policy of non-discrimination and will endeavor to make reasonable accommodations to assist individuals recovering from substance or alcohol dependencies, as well as those with a medical history reflecting treatment for substance abuse conditions. However, employees may not request an accommodation to avoid discipline for a policy violation. Employees are encouraged to seek assistance before substance abuse or alcohol misuse affects their ability to perform the essential functions of their jobs or jeopardizes the health and safety of themselves or others.

1-7Workplace Violence

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. is strongly committed to providing a safe workplace. The purpose of this policy is to minimize the risk of personal injury to employees and damage to Company and personal property.

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. does not expect employees to become experts in psychology or to physically subdue a threatening or violent individual. Indeed, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. specifically discourages employees from engaging in any physical confrontation with a violent or potentially violent individual. However, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. does expect and encourage employees to exercise reasonable judgment in identifying potentially dangerous situations.

Experts in the mental health profession state that prior to engaging in acts of violence, troubled individuals often exhibit one or more of the following behaviors or signs: over-resentment, anger and hostility; extreme agitation; making ominous threats such as bad things will happen to a particular person, or a catastrophic event will occur; sudden and significant decline in work performance; irresponsible, irrational, intimidating, aggressive or otherwise inappropriate behavior; reacting to questions with an antagonistic or overtly negative attitude; discussing weapons and their use, and/or brandishing weapons in the workplace; overreacting or reacting harshly to changes in Company policies and procedures; personality conflicts with co-workers; obsession or preoccupation with a co-worker or manager; attempts to sabotage the work or equipment of a co-

worker; blaming others for mistakes and circumstances; or demonstrating a propensity to behave and react irrationally.

Prohibited Conduct

Threats, threatening language or any other acts of aggression or violence made toward or by any Company employee WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. For purposes of this policy, a threat includes any verbal or physical harassment or abuse, any attempt at intimidating or instilling fear in others, menacing gestures, flashing of weapons, stalking or any other hostile, aggressive, injurious or destructive action undertaken for the purpose of domination or intimidation. To the extent permitted by law, employees and visitors are prohibited from carrying weapons onto Company premises.

Procedures for Reporting a Threat

All potentially dangerous situations, including threats by co-workers, should be reported immediately to any member of management with whom the employee feels comfortable. Reports of threats may be maintained confidential to the extent maintaining confidentiality does not impede Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s ability to investigate and respond to the complaints. All threats will be promptly investigated. All employees must cooperate with all investigations. No employee will be subjected to retaliation, intimidation or disciplinary action as a result of reporting a threat in good faith under this policy.

If the Company determines, after an appropriate good faith investigation, that someone has violated this policy, the Company will take swift and appropriate corrective action.

If the employee is the recipient of a threat made by an outside party, that employee should follow the steps detailed in this section. It is important for the Company to be aware of any potential danger in its offices. Indeed, the Company wants to take effective measures to protect everyone from the threat of a violent act by employees or by anyone else.

Exempt employees are required to record their daily work attendance and report full days of absence from work for reasons such as leaves of absence, sick leave or personal business.

Non-exempt employees may not start work until their scheduled starting time.

It is the employee's responsibility to sign time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. Any errors in the time record should be reported immediately to a manager, who will attempt to correct legitimate errors.

2-7Overtime

When Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. experiences periods of extremely high activity, additional work may be required. Managers are responsible for monitoring business activity and requesting overtime work if it is necessary. Effort will be made to provide employees with adequate advance notice in such situations. Employees may work overtime only with prior management authorization.

Any non-exempt employee who works overtime will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half times (1.5) their regular hourly wage for all time worked in excess of 40 hours each workweek, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

For purposes of calculating overtime for non-exempt employees, the workweek begins at 12 a.m. on Wednesday and ends 168 hours later at 12 a.m. on the following Wednesday.

2-8Safe Harbor Policy for Exempt Employees

It is Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s policy and practice to accurately compensate employees and to do so in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. To ensure proper payment and that no improper deductions are made, employees must review pay stubs promptly to identify and report all errors.

Those classified as exempt salaried employees will receive a salary which is intended to compensate them for all hours they may work for Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. This salary will be established at the time of hire or classification as an exempt employee. While it may be subject to review and modification from time to time, such as during salary review times, the salary will be a predetermined amount that will not be subject to deductions for variations in the quantity or quality of the work performed.

Under federal and state law, salary is subject to certain deductions. For example, unless state law requires otherwise, salary can be reduced for the following reasons:

full-day absences for personal reasons;

full-day absences for sickness or disability if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy or practice of providing wage replacement benefits for such absences (deductions also may be made for the exempt employee's full-day absences due to sickness or disability before the employee has qualified for the plan, policy or practice or after the employee has exhausted the leave allowance under the plan);

full-day disciplinary suspensions for infractions of our written policies and procedures;

Family and Medical Leave Act absences (either full- or partial-day absences);

to offset amounts received as payment from the court for jury and witness fees or from the military as military pay;

the first or last week of employment in the event the employee works less than a full week; and

any full work week in which the employee does not perform any work.

Salary may also be reduced for certain types of deductions such as a portion of health, dental or life insurance premiums; state, federal or local taxes; social security; or voluntary contributions to a 401(k) or pension plan.

In any work week in which the employee performed any work, salary will not be reduced for any of the following reasons:

partial day absences for personal reasons, sickness or disability;

an absence because the Company has decided to close a facility on a scheduled work day;

absences for jury duty, attendance as a witness, or military leave in any week in which the employee performed any work (subject to any offsets as set forth above); and

any other deductions prohibited by state or federal law.

However, unless state law provides otherwise, deductions may be made to accrued leave for full- or partial-day absences for personal reasons, sickness or disability.

If employees believe they have been subject to any improper deductions, they should immediately report the matter to a manager. If the manager is unavailable or if the employee believes it would be inappropriate to contact that person (or if the employee has not received a prompt and fully acceptable reply), they should immediately contact Human Resources Department or the CHRO or any other manager in Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. with whom the employee feels comfortable.

2-9Your Paycheck

Employees will be paid biweekly for all the time worked during the past pay period.

Payroll stubs itemize deductions made from gross earnings. By law, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. is required to make deductions for Social Security, federal income tax and any other appropriate taxes. These required deductions also may include any court-ordered garnishments. Payroll stubs also will differentiate between regular pay received and overtime pay received.

If there is an error in any employee's pay, the employee should bring the matter to the attention of Human Resources Department immediately so the Company can resolve the matter quickly and amicably.

The descriptions of the insurance and other plan benefits merely highlight certain aspects of the applicable plans for general information only. The details of those plans are spelled out in the official plan documents, which are available for review upon request from Human Resources Department. Additionally, the provisions of the plans, including eligibility and benefits provisions, are summarized in the summary plan descriptions ("SPDs") for the plans (which may be revised from time to time). In the determination of benefits and all other matters under each plan, the terms of the official plan documents shall govern over the language of any descriptions of the plans, including the SPDs and this handbook.

Further, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. (including the officers and administrators who are responsible for administering the plans) retains full discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the plans, as well as full discretionary authority with regard to administrative matters arising in connection with the plans and all issues concerning benefit terms, eligibility and entitlement.

While the Company intends to maintain these employee benefits, it reserves the absolute right to modify, amend or terminate these benefits at any time and for any reason.

If employees have any questions regarding benefits, they should contact Human Resources Department.

Health Benefits Premiums Upon Termination

When employment with Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. ends, health insurance coverage will terminate on the last day of the month in which employment ends, unless otherwise required by law.

Any outstanding employee portion of health insurance premiums, including amounts owed for coverage during the

final month of employment, will be deducted from the employee’s final paycheck where permitted by law.

Employees who are eligible for continuation of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) will receive a separate notice outlining their rights and responsibilities for continuing coverage after termination.

If a holiday falls within a jury duty or bereavement leave, the eligible employee will be paid for the holiday (at the regular straight-time rate) in addition to the leave day, or the eligible employee will receive an additional day off at the option of the Company.

Paid holidays start after 90 days of employment for Non-exempt employees.

3-3Paid Vacations

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. fully encourages employees to take their earned vacation time during the year in which it is accrued. Any unused hours will expire on the employee’s anniversary date with the company. Unused time off will not roll over and will not be paid out during employment or upon separation or termination from the company. Full-time employees accrue paid vacation time as follows:

The amount of vacation to which an employee becomes entitled is determined by the employee's length of service as of his or her employment anniversary date. Vacation days can be utilized 90 days from employees' first service date. All requests must be put into the time management platform the company uses at least 10 business days before the date requested and allow 3 business days for approval.

For full-time employees, vacation accrues as follows, unless otherwise stated in your Offer of Employment:

Employees hired March 18th, 2025, and after - are awarded 56 vacation hours

From year 1 to year 3- are awarded 80 vacation hours

Year 4.0 onward - are awarded 120 vacation hours

Vacation time may not be taken until it is earned unless approved by the Company. Earned vacation must be taken. Employees are not entitled to pay in lieu of taking time off for vacation unless approved by the Company. PTO and Sick Leave are to be taken in increments equating to half of the hours worked during their regular schedule.

Vacation Time / Paid Time Off may NOT be used the business day prior or following a paid holiday. Vacation time cannot be used to extend Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. paid holidays, unless approved 10 business days prior. This may not occur more than once per calendar year. Rule subject to change, as needed.

Unused Paid Time Off (PTO) is not paid upon separation from the Company.

3-4Sick Days

Full-time employees are eligible to receive up to forty (40) hours of paid sick time per calendar year. Employees who will be absent due to illness must notify their manager as early as possible, but no later than the start of the workday.

Human Resources may, at its discretion, require employees to provide medical documentation from a licensed healthcare professional in order to use paid sick time.

If an employee is absent for three (3) or more consecutive workdays, they may be required to submit a doctor’s

note upon returning to work.

Sick time must be taken in half-day increments, equivalent to the employee’s standard number of hours worked per day, unless otherwise specified in the employee’s offer of employment.

Paid sick time is intended to cover the employee’s own illness. However, where required by applicable state or local law, sick time may also be used to care for an ill family member (including civil union partners) or for any other purpose mandated by law.

Any sick time used in advance of accrual will be deducted from the employee’s final paycheck to the extent permitted by applicable state law.

No Combination with Paid Vacation (PTO)

Paid sick time and paid vacation time (PTO) may not be combined or split on the same day. For any full-day or partial-day absence, the employee must select one leave type; the day may not be recorded partly as sick time and partly as PTO. If an employee's accrued sick balance is insufficient to cover the full duration of an absence and the employee wishes to be paid for the entire absence, the entire day must be recorded as PTO.

3-5Lactation Accommodations

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will provide a reasonable amount of break time to accommodate employees desiring to pump for their child, in accordance with and to the extent required by applicable law. The break time, if possible and permitted by applicable law, must run concurrently with rest and meal periods already provided. If the break time does not run concurrently with rest and meal periods already provided, the break time will be unpaid, subject to applicable law.

The Company will make reasonable efforts to provide employees with the use of a room or location in close proximity to the employee's work area, other than a bathroom, to pump in private. This location may be the employee's private office, if applicable. Please consult Human Resources Department with questions regarding this policy.

Employees should advise management if they need break time and an area for this purpose. Employees will not be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising their rights under this policy.

3-6Workers' Compensation

On-the-job injuries are covered by Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s Workers' Compensation Insurance Policy, which is provided at no cost. If employees are injured on the job, no matter how slightly, they should report the incident immediately to their manager. Failure to follow Company procedures may affect the ability of employees to receive Workers Compensation benefits.

This is solely a monetary benefit and not a leave of absence entitlement. Employees who need to miss work due to a workplace injury must also request a formal leave of absence. See the Leave of Absence sections of this handbook for more information.

3-7Jury Duty

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. realizes that it is the obligation of all U.S. citizens to serve on a jury when summoned to do so. All employees will be allowed time off to perform such civic service as required by law. Employees are expected, however, to provide proper notice of a request to perform jury duty and verification of their service. Exempt employees will be given up to forty (40) paid hours to serve on a jury.

Employees also are expected to keep management informed of the expected length of jury duty service and to report to work for the major portion of the day if excused by the court. If the required absence presents a serious conflict for management, employees may be asked to try to postpone jury duty.

Employees on jury duty leave will be paid for their jury duty service in accordance with state law; however, exempt employees will be paid their full salary for any week in which time is missed due to jury duty if work is performed for the Company during such week.

3-8Bereavement Leave

If a full-time employee has a loss of a close immediate family member, SMP will offer up to three (3) days of paid bereavement depending on the relationship with the deceased. Requests must be made to the Human Resources Department or to your direct supervisor on your behalf as soon as possible.

3-9Voting Leave

In the event employees do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote in a statewide election, if required by state law, the employee may take off enough working time to vote. Such time will be paid if required by state law. This time should be taken at the beginning or end of the regular work schedule. Where possible, managers should be notified at least two (2) days prior to the voting day.

3-10Insurance Programs

Full-time employees may participate in Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s insurance programs. Under these plans, eligible employees will receive comprehensive health and other insurance coverage for themselves and their families, as well as other benefits. Upon becoming eligible to participate in these plans, employees will receive Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) describing the benefits in greater detail. Please refer to the SPDs for detailed plan information. Of course, feel free to contact your Human Resources Department with any further questions.

Please refer to section 3-1 Benefits Overview for further information on Health Benefits Premium Upon Termination.

3-11Short-term Disability Benefit

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. offers Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage as a voluntary benefit through the company’s chosen insurance company. This coverage provides income protection during approved absences caused by a qualifying medical condition.

Employees who need to be out of work due to a medical condition must request a formal leave of absence and provide the required medical certification. Please note that the medical certification requirements under the Company’s leave of absence policy may differ from those associated with other benefit programs.

For additional information regarding leave requirements and procedures, please refer to the Leave of Absence sections of this handbook.

3-12Retirement Plan

Employees become eligible to participate in Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.’s retirement plan after completing 90 days of employment. Once eligible, participants may make pre-tax contributions to their retirement account.

Upon eligibility, employees will receive a Summary Plan Description (SPD) with comprehensive information about the plan. Please review the SPD for full details regarding benefits, contributions, and participation guidelines.

For questions about the 401(k) plan with ADP Retirement services, including enrollment assistance, employees are encouraged to contact the Participant Services Team at 1-800-MYK-PLAN (1-800-695-7526), available 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST. Human Resources is also available to provide support as needed.

4-1Personal Leave

If employees are ineligible for any other Company leave of absence, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc., under certain circumstances, may grant a personal leave of absence without pay. A written request for a personal leave should be presented to management at least two (2) weeks before the anticipated start of the leave. If the leave is requested for medical reasons and employees are not eligible for leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or any state leave law, medical certification also must be submitted. The request will be considered on the basis of staffing requirements and the reasons for the requested leave, as well as performance and attendance records. Normally, a leave of absence will be granted for a period of up to eight (8) weeks. However, personal leave may be extended if, prior to the end of leave, employees submit a written request for an extension to management and the request is granted. During the leave, employees will not earn vacation, personal days, or sick days. Health insurance coverage is subject to the terms of the plan documents.

When the employee anticipates returning to work, he or she should notify management of the expected return date. This notification should be made at least one week before the end of the leave.

Upon completion of the personal leave of absence, Company will attempt to return employees to their original job or a similar position, subject to prevailing business considerations. Reinstatement, however, is not guaranteed.

Failure to advise management of availability to return to work, failure to return to work when notified or a continued absence from work beyond the time approved by Company will be considered a voluntary resignation of employment.

Personal leave runs concurrently with any Company-provided Short-Term Disability Leave of Absence.

4-2Military Leave

If employees are called into active military service or enlist in the uniformed services, they will be eligible to receive an unpaid military leave of absence. To be eligible for military leave, employees must provide management with advance notice of service obligations unless they are prevented from providing such notice by military necessity or it is otherwise impossible or unreasonable to provide such notice. Provided the absence does not exceed applicable statutory limitations, employees will retain reemployment rights and accrue seniority and benefits in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Employees should ask management for further information about eligibility for Military Leave.

If employees are required to attend yearly Reserves or National Guard duty, they can apply for an unpaid temporary military leave of absence not to exceed the number of days allowed by law (including travel). They should give management as much advance notice of their need for military leave as possible so that Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc., can maintain proper coverage while employees are away.

4-3Family and Medical Leave

The Leave Policy

Employees may be entitled to a leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This policy provides employees information concerning FMLA entitlements and obligations employees may have during such leaves. If employees have any questions concerning FMLA leave, they should contact their manager or HR.

Eligibility

FMLA leave is available to "eligible employees." To be an "eligible employee," an employee must: 1) have been employed by a covered Company* for at least 12 months (which need not be consecutive); 2) have been employed by the Company for at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave; and 3) be employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees are located within 75 miles of the worksite.

*Note a covered Company is one which has employed 50 or more employees for at least 20 work weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.

Entitlements

The FMLA provides eligible employees with a right to leave, applicable health insurance benefits and, with some limited exceptions, job restoration. The FMLA also entitles employees to certain written notices concerning their potential eligibility for and designation of FMLA leave.

Basic FMLA Leave Entitlement:

The FMLA provides eligible employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons during a 12-month period. The 12-month period is determined based on a rolling 12-month period measured backward from the date an employee uses their FMLA leave. Leave may be taken for any one, or for a combination, of the following reasons:

To care for the employee's child after birth or placement for adoption or foster care;

To care for the employee's spouse, child or parent (but not in-

law) who has a serious health condition; For the employee's own serious health condition (including any perio d of incapacity due to pregnancy,

prenatal medical care or childbirth) that makes the employee unable to perform one or more of the essential functions of the employee's job; and/or

Because of any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that an employee's spouse, child or parent is a covered military member on covered active duty or called to covered active duty status (or has been notified of an impending call or order to covered active duty) in the Reserves component of the Armed Forces in support of contingency operations or Regular Armed Forces for deployment to a foreign country. This leave also is available for family members of active duty service members.

A serious health condition is an illness, injury, impairment or physical or mental condition that involves either an overnight stay in a medical care facility, or continuing treatment by a health care provider for a condition

that either prevents the employee from performing the functions of the employee's job, or prevents the qualified family member from participating in school or other daily activities. Subject to certain conditions, the continuing treatment requirement may be met by a period of incapacity of more than three (3) consecutive calend ar days combined with at least two visits to a health care provider or one visit and aregimenof continuing treatment, or incapacity due to pregnancy, or incapacity due to a chronic condition. Other conditions may meet the definition of continuing treatment.

Qualifying exigencies may include attending certain military events, arranging for alternative childcare, addressing certain financial and legal arrangements, attending certain counseling sessions, caring for the

parents of the military member on covered active duty and attending post-deployment reintegration briefings.

Additional Military Family Leave Entitlement (Injured Servicemember Leave)

In addition to the basic FMLA leave entitlement discussed above, an eligible employee who is the spouse, child,

parent or next of kin of a covered servicemember is entitled to take up 26 weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for the servicemember with a serious injury or illness. Leave to care for a servicemember shall only be available during a single-12 month period and, when combined with other FMLA-qualifying leave, may not exceed 26 weeks during the single 12-month period. The single 12-month period begins on the first day an eligible employee takes leave to care for the injured servicemember.

A "covered servicemember" is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or therapy, is otherwise in outpatient status or is on the temporary retired list, for a serious injury or illness. These individuals are referred to in this policy as "current members of the Armed Forces."

Covered servicemembers also include a veteran who is discharged or released from military services under condition other than dishonorable at any time during the five years preceding the date the eligible employee takes FMLA leave to care for the covered veteran, and who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or their rights in such instances. Use of FMLA leave will not result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued prior to the start of an eligible employee's FMLA leave.

Notice of Eligibility for, and Designation of, FMLA Leave

Employees requesting FMLA leave are entitled to receive written notice from the Company telling them whether they are eligible for FMLA leave and, if not eligible, the reasons why they are not eligible. When eligible for FMLA leave, employees are entitled to receive written notice of: 1) their rights and responsibilities in connection with such leave; 2) the Company's designation of leave as FMLA-qualifying or non-qualifying, and if not FMLA-qualifying, the reasons why; and 3) the amount of leave, if known, that will be counted against the employee's leave entitlement.

The Company may retroactively designate leave as FMLA leave with appropriate written notice to employees provided the Company's failure to designate leave as FMLA-qualifying at an earlier date did not cause harm or injury to the employee. In all cases where leaves qualify for FMLA protection, the Company and employee can mutually agree that leave be retroactively designated as FMLA leave.

Employee FMLA Leave Obligations

Provide Notice of the Need for Leave

Employees who take FMLA leave must timely notify the Company of their need for FMLA leave. The following describes the content and timing of such employee notices.

Content of Employee Notice

To trigger FMLA leave protections, employees must inform their manager and the HR team of the need for FMLA-qualifying leave and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave, if known. Employees may do this by either requesting FMLA leave specifically or explaining the reason for leave so the Company can determine if it qualifies under FMLA. For example, employees might explain that:

a medical condition renders them unable to perform the functions of their job;

they are pregnant or have been hospitalized overnight;

they or a covered family member are under the continuing care of a health care provider;

the leave is due to a qualifying exigency cause by a covered military member being on active dutyorcalled to active duty status; or

if the leave is for a family member, that the condition renders the family member unable to perform daily activities or that the family member is a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness.

Calling in "sick," without providing the reasons for the needed leave, will not be considered sufficient notice for FMLA leave under this policy. Employees must respond to the Company's questions to determine if absences are potentially FMLA-qualifying.

If employees fail to explain the reasons for FMLA leave, the leave may be denied. When employees seek leave due to FMLA-qualifying reasons for which the Company has previously provided FMLA-protected leave, they must specifically reference the qualifying reason for the leave or the need for FMLA leave.

Timing of Employee Notice

Employees must provide 30 days' advance notice of the need to take FMLA leave when the need is foreseeable. When 30 days' notice is not possible, or the approximate timing of the need for leave is not

therapy for a serious injury or illness. These individuals are referred to in this policy as "covered veterans."

The FMLA definitions of a "serious injury or illness" for current Armed Forces members and covered veterans are distinct from the FMLA definition of "serious health condition" applicable to FMLA leave to care for a covered family member.

Intermittent Leave and Reduced Leave Schedules

FMLA leave usually will be taken for a period of consecutive days, weeks or months. However, employees

also are entitled to take FMLA leave intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary due to a serious health condition of the employee or covered family member or the serious injury or illness of a covered servicemember.

No Work While on Leave

The taking of another job while on family/medical leave or any other authorized leave of absence is grounds for immediate termination, to the extent permitted by law.

Protection of Group Health Insurance Benefits

During FMLA leave, eligible employees are entitled to receive group health plan coverage (if applicable) on the same terms and conditions as if they had continued to work.

Restoration of Employment and Benefits

At the end of FMLA leave, subject to some exceptions including situations where job restoration of "key employees" will cause the Company substantial and grievous economic injury, employees generally have a right to return to the same or equivalent positions with equivalent pay, benefits and other employment terms. The Company will notify employees if they qualify as "key employees," if it intends to deny reinstatement, and of fore seeable, employees must provide the Company notice ofthe need for leave as soon as practicable under the facts and circumstances of the particular case. Employees, who fail to give 30 days' notice for foreseeable leave without a reasonable excuse for the delay, or otherwise fail to satisfy FMLA notice obligations, may have FMLA leave delayed or denied.

Cooperate in the Scheduling of Planned Medical Treatment (Including Accepting Transfers to Alternative Positions) and Intermittent Leave or Reduced Leave Schedules

When planning medical treatment, employees must consult with the Company and make a reasonable effort to schedule treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the Company's operations, subject to the approval of an employee's health care provider. Employees must consult with the Company prior to the scheduling of treatment to work out a treatment schedule that best suits the needs of both the Company and the employees, subject to the approval of an employee's health care provider. If employees providing notice of the need to take FMLA leave on an intermittent basis for planned medical treatment neglect to fulfill this obligation, the Company may require employees to attempt to make such arrangements, subject to the approval of the employee's health care provider.

When employees take intermittent or reduced work schedule leave for foreseeable planned medical treatment

for the employee or a family member, including during a period of recovery from a serious health condition or to care for a covered servicemember, the Company may temporarily transfer employees, during the period that the intermittent or reduced leave schedules are required, to alternative positions with equivalent pay and

benefits for which the employees are qualified and which better accommodate recurring periods of leave.

When employees seek intermittent leave or a reduced leave schedule for reasons unrelated to the planning of medical treatment, upon request, employees must advise the Company of the reason why such leave is

medically necessary. In such instances, the Company and employee shall attempt to work out a leave schedule that meets the employee's needs without unduly disrupting the Company's operations, subject to the approval of the employee's health care provider.

Submit Medical Certifications Supporting Need for FMLA Leave (Unrelated to Requests for Military Family Leave)

Depending on the nature of FMLA leave sought, employees may be required to submit medical certifications supporting their need for FMLA-qualifying leave. As described below, there generally are three types of FMLA medical certifications: an initial certification, a recertification and a return to work/fitness for duty certification. It is the employee's responsibility to provide the Company with timely, complete and sufficient medical certifications. Whenever the Company requests employees to provide FMLA medical certifications, employees must provide the requested certifications within 15 calendar days after the Company's request, unless it is not practicable to do so despite an 29

employee's diligent, good faith efforts. The Company shall inform employees if submitted medical certifications are incomplete or insufficient and provide employees at least seven calendar days to cure deficiencies. The Company will deny FMLA leave to employees who fail to timely cure deficiencies or otherwise fail to timely submit requested medical certifications.

With the employee's permission, the Company (through individuals other than an employee's direct manager) may contact the employee's health care provider to authenticate or clarify completed and sufficient medical certifications. If employees choose not to provide the Company with authorization allowing it to clarify or authenticate certifications with health care providers, the Company may deny FMLA leave if certifications are unclear.

Whenever the Company deems it appropriate to do so, it may waive its right to receive timely, complete and/or su fficient FMLA medical certifications.

Initial Medical Certifications

Employees requesting leave because of their own, or a covered relation's, serious health condition, or to care for a covered servicemember, must supply medical certification supporting the need for such leave from their health care provider or, if applicable, the health care provider of their covered family or service member. If employees provide atleast 30days'noticeofmedicalleave,theyshould submit the medical certification before leave begins. A new initial medical certification will be required on an annual basis for serious medical conditions lasting beyond a single leave year.

If the Company has reason to doubt initial medical certifications, it may require employees to obtain a second opinion at the Company's expense. If the opinions of the initial and second health care providers differ, the Company may, at its expense, require employees to obtain a third, final and binding certification from a health care provider designated or approved jointly by the Company and the employee.

Medical Recertifications

Depending on the circumstances and duration of FMLA leave, the Company may require employees to provide recertification of medical conditions giving rise to the need for leave. The Company will notify employees if recertification is required and will give employees at least 15 calendar days to provide medical recertification.

Return to Work/Fitness for Duty Medical Certifications

Unless notified that providing such certifications is not necessary, employees returning to work from FMLA leaves that were taken because of their own serious health conditions that made them unable to perform their jobs must provide the Company medical certification confirming they are able to return to work and the employees' ability to perform the essential functions of the employees' position, with or without reasonable accommodation. The Company may delay and/or deny job restoration until employees provide return to work/fitness for duty certifications.

Submit Certifications Supporting Need for Military Family Leave

Upon request, the first time employees seek leave due to qualifying exigencies arising out of the active duty or call to active duty status of a covered military member, the Company may require employees to provide: 1) a copy of the covered military member's active duty orders or other documentation issued by the military indicating the covered military member is on active duty or call to active duty status and the dates of the

covered military member's active duty service; and 2) a certification from the employee setting forth information concerning the nature of the qualifying exigency for which leave is requested. Employees shall provide a copy of new active duty orders or other documentation issued by the military for leaves arising out of qualifying exigencies arising out of a different active duty or call to active duty status of the same or a different covered military member. When leave is taken to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness, the Company may require employees to obtain certifications completed by an authorized health care provider of the covered servicemember. In addition, and in accordance with the FMLA regulations, the Company may request that the certification submitted by employees set forth additional information provided by the employee and/or the covered servicemember confirming entitlement to such leave.

Reporting Changes to Anticipated Return Date & Periodically Concerning Intent to Return to Work Employeesmustcontact theHRdepartment periodically inaccordancewith theinstructions noted on the Eligibility Notice regarding their status and intention to return to work at the end of the FMLA

leave period. If an employee's anticipated return to work date changes and it becomes necessary for the employee to take more or less leave than originally anticipated, the employee must provide the Company with reasonable

notice (i.e., within two business days) of the employee's changed circumstances and new return to work date. If employees give the Company unequivocal notice of their intent not to return to work, they will be considered to have voluntarilyresignedandtheCompany'sobligationto maintain applicable health benefits (subject to COBRA requirements) and to restore their positions will cease.

Substitute Paid Leave for Unpaid FMLA Leave

Employees must (unless the Company specifically informs employees otherwise) use any accrued paid time off while taking unpaid FMLA leave. The substitution of paid time for unpaid FMLA leave time does not extend the length of FMLA leaves and the paid time will run concurrently with an employee's FMLA entitlement.

Leaves of absence taken in connection with a disability leave plan or workers' compensation injury/illness shall run concurrently with any FMLA leave entitlement. Upon written request, the Company will allow employees to use accrued paid time off to supplement any paid disability benefits.

Pay Employee's Share of Health Insurance Premiums

During FMLA leave, employees are entitled to continued group health plan coverage (if applicable) under the same conditions as if they had continued to work. Unless the Company notifies employees of other arrangements, whenever employees are receiving pay from the Company during FMLA leave, the Company will deduct the employee portion of the group health plan premium from the employee's paycheck in the same manner as if the employee was actively working.

If FMLA leave is unpaid, employees must pay their portion of the group health premium through a ''pay-as- you-go'' method. Employees should contact their immediate manager to make these arrangements.

The Company's obligation to maintain health care coverage ceases if an employee's premium payment is more than 30 days late. If an employee's payment is more than 15 days late, the Company will send a letter notifying the employee that coverage will be dropped on a specified date unless the co-payment is received before that date. If employees do not return to work within 30 calendar days at the end of the leave period (unless employees cannot return to work because of a serious health condition or other circumstances beyond their control), they will be required to reimburse the Company for the cost of the premiums the Company paid for maintaining coverage during their unpaid FMLA leave.

Exemption for Highly Compensated Employees

The Company may choose not to return highly compensated employees (highest paid 10% of employees at a worksite or within 75 miles of that worksite) to their former or equivalent positions following a leave if restoration of employment will cause substantial economic injury to the Company. (This fact-specific determination will be made by the Company on a case-by-case basis.) The Company will notify you if you qualify as a "highly compensated" employee, if the Company intends to deny reinstatement, and of your rights in such instances.

Questions and/or Complaints about FMLA Leave

If you have questions regarding this FMLA policy, please contact your manager or the HR department. The Company iscommittedtocomplyingwiththeFMLAand,

whenever necessary, shall interpret and apply this policy in a manner consistent with the FMLA.

The FMLA makes it unlawful for employers to: 1) interfere with, restrain or deny the exercise of any right provided under FMLA; or 2) discharge or discriminate against any person for opposing any practice made unlawf ul by FMLA or involvement in any proceeding under or relating to FMLA. If employees believe their FMLA rights have been violated, they should contact HR immediately. The Company will investigate any FMLA complaints and take prompt and appropriate remedial action toaddressand/or remedy any FMLA violation. Employees also may file FMLA complaints with the United States Department of Labor or may bring private lawsuits alleging FMLA violations.

Coordination of FMLA Leave with Other Leave Policies

The FMLA does not affect any federal, state or local law prohibiting discrimination, or supersede any State or local law that provides greater family or medical leave rights. For additional information concerning leave entitlements and obligations that might arise when FMLA leave is either not available or exhausted, please consult the Company's other leave policies in your Company handbook as applicable or contact your manager or HR.

4-4Domestic Violence Leave

Employees who have worked for the Company for at least three (3) months may be granted up to three (3) days of unpaid leave in any 12-month period if the employee or a family or household member of the employee is the victim of domestic violence.

Leave may be used to:

seek an injunction for protection against domestic violence or an injunction for protection in cases of repeat violence, dating violence or sexual violence;

obtain medical care or mental health counseling, or both, for the employee or a family or household member to address physical or psychological injuries resulting from the act of domestic violence;

obtain services from a victim-services organization, including, but not limited to, a domestic violence shelter or program or a rape crisis center as a result of the act of domestic violence;

make their home secure from the perpetrator of the domestic violence or to seek new housing to escape the perpetrator; or

seek legal assistance in addressing issues arising from the act of domestic violence.

"Family or household member" means spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together as if a family or who have resided together in the past as if a family, and persons who are parents of a child in common regardless of whether they have been married. With the exception of persons who have a child in common, the family or household members must be currently residing or have in the past resided together in the same single dwelling unit.

Except in cases of imminent danger to the health or safety of the employees or their family or household member, one (1) week advance notice of the need for leave is required. Sufficient documentation of the act of domestic violence, such as a restraining order, police report or order to appear in court, is also required. Requests for leave and documents in connection with this leave will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

All paid time off available must be exhausted before receiving this leave.

5-1Leave During Storms, Hurricanes, and/or Natural Disasters

The following policies and procedures are provided to give guidance and information during the hurricane season. These precautions will be taken in order to guarantee everyone's safety and to allow sufficient time to safeguard SMP’s assets. Please read this policy carefully and store it at home in a safe place in the event you must refer to it.

Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th each year, with the peak months being August and September. With more than 1300 miles of coastline, Florida is more susceptible to hurricanes than any other state.

Hurricane Watch versus Hurricane Warning

A Hurricane Watch is issued for a specific coastal area for which a hurricane or a hurricane-related hazard is a possible threat within 36 hours.

A Hurricane Warning is issued when a hurricane with sustained winds of 74 mph or higher is expected in a specific coastal area in 24 hours or less. A hurricane warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and exceptionally high waves continues, even though the winds may have subsided below hurricane intensity.

SMP's main areas of concern, although the areas of concern are not limited to these exclusively, are the safety of all Employees, protection and integrity of all electronic systems and the protection of SMP's facilities to include warehouses and contents, furniture, fixtures and all paper files. The decision by any SMP Employee to remain at home or to go to a shelter is his or her decision. SMP will not make a recommendation or a decision for the Employee. Be prepared to follow instructions from the local authorities and to evacuate if instructed to do so.

In the event of an office closure, the Human Resources Department will text, call and/or email the company managers, who will then notify each employee in his or her department. Employees that are able to telecommute will be expected to do so. This will result in no PTO being debited from the employee. Non- Exempt employees that cannot telecommute may be granted the use of a day of PTO in the event of a hurricane.

Hurricane Watch:

The office will remain open under a hurricane "watch".

Employees who feel the need to prepare for the storm, arrange childcare, or are concerned for their personal safety can make the decision to leave work after notifying their manager. Employees may use available Paid Time Off (PTO) to cover this time away from work.

Hurricane Warning:

When a hurricane warning is declared for an area in which the SMP office is located, an announcement will be made by a member of the Senior Management as to the time that office will close.

If an employee feels the need to leave work prior to the announcement being made or before the scheduled office closing, the same policy will be in effect as mentioned in the case of a hurricane watch.

Employees working in a SMP office that will not be affected by the hurricane will be expected to communicate with employees in the affected area to ensure proper communication with customers and vendors. If it can be accomplished safely, employees in the unaffected office will facilitate the continuation of services for the affected office.

Once the scheduled time for the office closure has been announced and reached, employees will be sent home for the remainder of the day.

The Human Resources Department will communicate to the managers when it is safe to return to work. The manager will then notify the employees in their department when it is safe to return to work.

Severe Weather Policy

In the event severe weather conditions occur at a time when you have not yet reported to work, you should report to work as usual unless otherwise notified, but only if you are able to do so safely.

If an employee elects not to work on a given day, the Company requires the courtesy of a phone call to your manager or supervisor advising as to your status for the day, prior to the beginning of the workday.

The Human Resources Department will monitor a weather alert radio-if a severe weather warning is issued, he or she will immediately make an announcement.

Employees should immediately seek shelter in internal hallways and rooms away from all windows.

The General Manager, Facility Manager or a designated Employee will take the weather radio with him or her-when the severe weather warning is canceled, he or she will send Department Managers to each department to advise that it is safe to return to work areas and then will make a general announcement.

Facility Closure

Should the office close for severe weather, non-exempt employees' will be paid for the hours they worked. Exempt employees will get paid as follows: (1) If an exempt employee worked at least one hour during the same week of the closure, he or she will get paid for the full week. Should another separate forced closure occur due to a hurricane or natural disaster, it will result in the use of earned company provided time off; (2) If the office closes for an entire week, the Company is not obligated to pay exempt employees for the week; (3) If an exempt or non-exempt employee takes previously approved PTO on a day that happens to result in an office closure, the employee must still use PTO for the day because he or she is not "ready, willing and able" to work.

6-1Workplace Conduct

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. endeavors to maintain a positive work environment. Each employee plays a role in fostering this environment. Accordingly, we all must abide by certain rules of conduct, based on honesty, common sense, and fair play.

Because everyone may not have the same idea about proper workplace conduct, it is helpful to adopt and enforce rules all can follow. Unacceptable conduct may subject the offender to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, in the Company's sole discretion. The following are examples of some, but not all, conduct which can be considered unacceptable:

Obtaining employment on the basis of false or misleading information.

Stealing, removing, or defacing Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. property or a co-worker's property, and/or disclosure of confidential information.

Completing another employee's time records.

Violation of safety rules and policies.

Violation of Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace Policy.

Fighting, threatening, or disrupting the work of others or other violations of Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s Workplace Violence Policy.

Failure to follow lawful instructions of a manager.

Failure to perform assigned job duties.

Violation of the Punctuality and Attendance Policy, including but not limited to irregular attendance, habitual lateness, or unexcused absences.

Gambling on Company property.

Willful or careless destruction or damage to Company assets or to the equipment or possessions of another employee.

Wasting work materials.

Performing work of a personal nature during working time.

Violation of the Solicitation and Distribution Policy.

Violation of Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s Harassment or Equal Employment Opportunity Policies.

Violation of the Communication and Computer Systems Policy.

Unsatisfactory job performance.

Any other violation of Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. policy.

Obviously, not every type of misconduct can be listed. Note that all employees are employed at-will, and Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. reserves the right to impose whatever discipline it chooses, or none at all, in a particular instance. The Company will deal with each situation individually and nothing in this handbook should be construed as a promise of specific treatment in a given situation. However, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. will endeavor to utilize progressive discipline but reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate the employee at any time for any reason.

The observance of these rules will help to ensure that our workplace remains a safe and desirable place to work.

6-2Punctuality and Attendance

Employees are hired to perform important functions at Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. As with any group effort, operating effectively takes cooperation and commitment from everyone. Therefore, attendance and punctuality are very important. Unnecessary absences and lateness are expensive, disruptive and place an unfair burden on fellow employees and managers. We expect excellent attendance from all employees. Excessive absenteeism or tardiness will result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

We do recognize, however, there are times when absences and tardiness cannot be avoided. In such cases, employees are expected to notify managers as early as possible, but no later than the start of the work day. Asking another employee, friend or relative to give this notice is improper and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Employees should email [email protected], stating the nature of the illness and its expected duration, for every day of absenteeism.

Unreported absences of three (3) consecutive work days will generally be considered a voluntary resignation of employment with the Company.

The purpose of this policy is to set forth and maintain a high standard of attendance and to assure reasonable, fair and consistent treatment of all employees under this policy. Because regular and punctual attendance at work is a condition of employment, employees are advised that the following guidelines will govern absence and tardiness:

After the employee’s first day of work each single day of unexcused absence is counted as one (1) occurrence.

Each case of late arrival (tardy) or early departure outside of agreed flex time (if applicable) is counted as one-half (½) of an occurrence.

Examples of one (1) occurrence are:

One (1) absence

Combination of two (2) tardiness

Combination of two (2) Leaves early

Combination of one (1) tardy and one (1) leave early

The last twelve (12) continuous months of an employee's attendance record are examined to determine the number of occurrences. Employees with approved leaves of absence lasting a consecutive thirty (30) calendar days or longer will have their rolling twelve (12) month calculation modified to discount the period of absence.

Disciplinary procedures for attendance violations will follow a four (4) step progression (excluding No Call/No Show). The number of occurrences which establish the requirement for disciplinary action is as follows:

Number of Occurrences Disciplinary Action

One (1) First Written Warning Four (4) Second Written Warning Six (6) Final Written Warning Eight (8) Termination

Disciplinary procedures for No Call/No Show violations will follow a two (2) step progression. The number of occurrences which establish the requirement for disciplinary action is as follows:

Number of Occurrences Disciplinary Action

One (1) Final Written Warning Two (2) Termination

Note: Employees who are currently at the Second or Final Written Warning level of the disciplinary process for attendance violations, who then have a No Call/No Show, will automatically be moved to the Termination step.

An employee who calls in to report his/her intended late arrival, but does not report to work or subsequently contact their immediate supervisor or Manager will be considered a No Call/No Show.

Newly hired employees are expected to demonstrate their dependability, as well as other job performance characteristics, during their ninety (90) day introductory period. The attendance records of all introductory employees will be monitored very closely. Those employees who demonstrate unacceptable attendance habits during this period will be subject to immediate dismissal. If an employee accumulates four or more occurrences during this time frame, it will result in an automatic termination.

This policy is meant to be a guide. Situations may exist, such as chronic and patterned absenteeism, which requires management's discretion in the application of this policy. These cases will be handled on their own merit outside the conditions set forth in the general policy at the discretion of Human Resources.

Definitions

Absence - missing two (2) or more unexcused hours of a scheduled shift.

No Call/No Show - failure of an employee to report for work or notify his/her immediate supervisor or Manager of an intended absence within the first two (2) hours of the scheduled shift.

Upon an employee's annual review, employees that are deemed to be in good standing with the company are eligible to be paid out for their unused PTO balance that would otherwise expire at the end of the year. The company reserves the right at its sole discretion, to modify this policy at any time for any reason.

6-3Use of Communications and Computer Systems

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s communication and computer systems are intended primarily for business purposes; however limited personal usage is permitted if it does not hinder performance of job duties or violate any other Company policy. This includes the voice mail, e-mail and Internet systems. Users have no legitimate expectation of privacy in regard to their use of the Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. systems.

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. may access the voice mail and e-mail systems and obtain the communications within the systems, including past voice mail and e-mail messages, without notice to users of the system, in the ordinary course of business when the Company deems it appropriate to do so. The reasons for which the Company may obtain such access include but are not limited to: maintaining the system; preventing or investigating allegations of system abuse or misuse; assuring compliance with software copyright laws; complying with legal and regulatory requests for information; and ensuring that Company operations continue appropriately during the employee's absence.

Further, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc., may review Internet usage to ensure that such use with Company property, or communications sent via the Internet with Company property, are appropriate. The reasons for which the Company may review employees' use of the Internet with Company property include but are not limited to maintaining the system; preventing or investigating allegations of system abuse or misuse; assuring compliance with software copyright laws; complying with legal and regulatory requests for information; and ensuring that Company operations continue appropriately during the employee's absence.

The Company may store electronic communications for a period of time after the communication is created. From time to time, copies of communications may be deleted.

The Company's policies prohibiting harassment, in their entirety, apply to the use of Company's communication and computer systems. No one may use any communication or computer system in a manner that may be construed by others as harassing or offensive based on race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious beliefs or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

Further, since the Company's communication and computer systems are intended for business use, all employees, upon request, must inform management of any private access codes or passwords.

Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted computer software violates the law and is strictly prohibited.

No employee may access, or attempt to obtain access to, another employee's computer systems without appropriate authorization.

Violators of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

6-4Use of Social Media

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. respects the right of any employee to maintain a blog or web page or to participate in a social networking on or through websites or services such as X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or similar sites/services (collectively "social media"). However, to protect Company interests and ensure employees focus on their job duties, employees must adhere to the following rules:

Employees may not use social media during work time or at any time with Company equipment or property.

All rules regarding confidential and proprietary business information apply in full to social media. Any information that cannot be disclosed through a conversation, a note, or an e-mail also cannot be disclosed through social media.

When using social media, if the employee mentions the Company and also expresses either a political opinion or an opinion regarding the Company's actions that could pose an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company, and it is either implicit or explicit that the poster is affiliated with the Company, the poster must include a disclaimer. The poster should specifically state that the opinion expressed is a personal opinion and not the Company's position. This is necessary to preserve the Company's goodwill in the marketplace.

Employees may not use the Company's logos or trademarks for commercial purposes or to endorse any product or service.

Any conduct that is impermissible under the law if expressed in any other form or forum is impermissible if expressed through social media. For example, posted material that is discriminatory, obscene, defamatory, libelous, or violent is forbidden. Company policies apply equally to employee social media usage.

Employees with any questions should review the guidelines above and/or consult with their manager. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in discipline, up to and including discharge.

6-5Personal and Company-Provided Portable Communication Devices

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.-provided portable communication devices (PCDs), including cell phones and personal digital assistants, should be used primarily for business purposes. Employees have no reasonable expectation of privacy in regard to the use of such devices, and all use is subject to monitoring, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This includes, as permitted, the right to monitor personal communications as necessary.

Some employees may be authorized to use their own PCD for business purposes. These employees should work with the IT department to configure their PCD for business use. Communications sent via a personal PCD also may be subject to monitoring if sent through the Company's networks and the PCD must be provided for inspection and review upon request.

All conversations, text messages and e-mails must be professional. When sending a text message or using a

PCD for business purposes, whether it is a Company-provided or personal device, employees must comply with applicable Company guidelines, including policies on sexual harassment, discrimination, conduct, confidentiality, equipment use and operation of vehicles. Using a Company-issued PCD to send or receive personal text messages is prohibited at all times and personal use during working hours should be limited to emergency situations.

If employees who use a personal PCD for business resign or are discharged, they will be required to submit the device to the IT department for resetting on or before their last day of work. At that time, the IT department will reset and remove all information from the device, including but not limited to, Company information and personal data (such as contacts, e-mails and photographs). The IT department will make efforts to provide employees with the personal data in another form (e.g., on a disk) to the extent practicable; however, the employee may lose some or all personal data saved on the device.

Employees may not use their personal PCD for business unless they agree to submit the device to the IT department on or before their last day of work for resetting and removal of Company information. This is the only way currently possible to ensure that all Company information is removed from the device at the time of termination. The removal of Company information is crucial to ensure compliance with the Company's confidentiality and proprietary information policies and objectives.

Please note that whether employees use their personal PCD or a Company-issued device, the Company's electronic communications policies, including but not limited to, proper use of communications and computer systems, remain in effect.

Portable Communication Device Use While Driving

Employees who drive on Company business must abide by all state or local laws prohibiting or limiting PCD (cell phone or personal digital assistant) use while driving. Further, even if usage is permitted, employees may choose to refrain from using any PCD while driving. "Use" includes, but is not limited to, talking or listening to another person or sending an electronic or text message via the PCD.

Regardless of the circumstances, including slow or stopped traffic, if any use is permitted while driving, employees should proceed to a safe location off the road and safely stop the vehicle before placing or accepting a call. If acceptance of a call is absolutely necessary while driving, and permitted by law, employees must use a hands-free option and advise the caller that they are unable to speak at that time and will return the call shortly.

Under no circumstances should employees feel that they need to place themselves at risk to fulfill business needs.

Since this policy does not require any employee to use a cell phone while driving, employees who are charged with traffic violations resulting from the use of their PCDs while driving will be solely responsible for all liabilities that result from such actions.

Texting and e-mailing while driving is prohibited in all circumstances.

6-6Inspections

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. reserves the right to require employees while on Company property, or on client property, to agree to the inspection of their persons, personal possessions and property, personal vehicles parked on Company or client property, and work areas. This includes lockers, vehicles, desks, cabinets, work stations, packages, handbags, briefcases and other

personal possessions or places of concealment, as well as personal mail sent to the Company or to its clients. Employees are expected to cooperate in the conduct of any search or inspection.

6-7Smoking

Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes, vaping is prohibited on Company premises and in all Company vehicles. If the employee is caught smoking on company premises, it can lead to immediate termination. Any use of e-cigarettes, vapes, or similar, inside of the building, will lead to immediate termination.

6-8Personal Visits and Telephone Calls

Disruptions during work time can lead to errors and delays. Therefore, personal telephone calls must be kept to a minimum, and only be made or received after working time, or during lunch or break time.

For safety and security reasons, employees are prohibited from having personal guests visit or accompanying them anywhere in Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. facilities other than the reception areas.

6-9Solicitation and Distribution

To avoid distractions, solicitation by the employee of another employee is prohibited while either employee is on work time. "Work time" is defined as the time the employee is engaged, or should be engaged, in performing their work tasks for Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. Solicitation of any kind by non- employees on Company premises is prohibited at all times.

Distribution of advertising material, handbills, printed or written literature of any kind in working areas of the Company is prohibited at all times. Distribution of literature by non-employees on Company premises is prohibited at all times.

6-10Bulletin Boards

Important notices and items of general interest are continually posted on Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. bulletin boards. Employees should make it a practice to review bulletin boards frequently. This will assist employees in keeping up with what is current at Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. To avoid confusion, employees should not post or remove any material from the bulletin board.

6-11Confidential Company Information

During the course of work, employees may become aware of confidential information about Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s business, including but not limited to information regarding Company finances, pricing, products, and new product development, software, and computer programs, marketing strategies, suppliers, and customers and potential customers. Employees also may become aware of similar confidential information belonging to the Company's clients. It is extremely important that all such information remain confidential, and particularly not be disclosed to Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s competitors. Any employee who improperly copies, removes (whether physically or electronically), uses, or discloses confidential information to anyone outside of the Company may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Employees may be required to sign an agreement reiterating these obligations.

6-12Conflict of Interest and Business Ethics

It is Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s policy that all employees avoid any conflict between their personal interests and those of the Company. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the Company's honesty and integrity, and therefore its reputation, are not compromised. The fundamental principle guiding this policy is that no employee should have, or appear to have, personal interests or relationships that actually or potentially conflict with the best interests of the Company.

It is not possible to give an exhaustive list of situations that might involve violations of this policy. However, the situations that would constitute a conflict in most cases include but are not limited to:

Holding an interest in or accepting free or discounted goods from any organization that does, or is seeking to do, business with the Company, by any employee who is in a position to directly or indirectly influence either the Company's decision to do business, or the terms upon which business would be done with such organization;

Holding any interest in an organization that competes with the Company;

Being employed by (including as a consultant) or serving on the board of any organization which does, or is seeking to do, business with the Company or which competes with the Company; and/or

Profiting personally, e.g., through commissions, loans, expense reimbursements, or other payments, from any organization seeking to do business with the Company.

A conflict of interest would also exist when a member of the employee's immediate family is involved in situations such as those above.

This policy is not intended to prohibit the acceptance of modest courtesies, openly given and accepted as part of the usual business amenities, for example, occasional business-related meals or promotional items of nominal or minor value.

It is the employee's responsibility to report any actual or potential conflict that may exist between the employee (and the employee's immediate family) and the Company.

6-13Use of Facilities, Equipment and Property, Including Intellectual Property

Equipment essential in accomplishing job duties is often expensive and may be difficult to replace. When using property, employees are expected to exercise care, perform required maintenance, and follow all operating instructions, safety standards and guidelines.

Employees should notify their manager if any equipment, machines, or tools appear to be damaged, defective or in need of repair. Prompt reporting of loss, damages, defects and the need for repairs could prevent deterioration of equipment and possible injury to employees or others. Managers can answer any questions about the employees' responsibility for maintenance and care of equipment used on the job.

Employees also are prohibited from any unauthorized use of the Company's intellectual property, such as audio and video tapes, print materials and software.

Improper, careless, negligent, destructive, or unsafe use or operation of equipment can result in discipline, up to and including discharge.

Further, the Company is not responsible for any damage to employees' personal belongings unless The Company provided advance approval for the employee to bring the personal property to work.

6-14Health and Safety

The health and safety of employees and others on Company property are of critical concern to Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. The Company intends to comply with all health and safety laws applicable to our business. To this end, the Company must rely upon employees to ensure that work areas are kept safe and free of hazardous conditions. Employees are required to be conscientious about workplace safety, including proper operating methods, and recognize dangerous conditions or hazards. Any unsafe conditions or potential hazards should be reported to management immediately, even if the problem appears to be corrected. Any suspicion of a concealed danger present on the Company's premises, or in a product, facility, piece of equipment, process, or business practice for which the Company is responsible should be brought to the attention of management immediately.

Periodically, the Company may issue rules and guidelines governing workplace safety and health. The Company may also issue rules and guidelines regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and waste. All employees should familiarize themselves with these rules and guidelines as strict compliance will be expected.

Any workplace injury, accident, or illness must be reported to the employee's manager as soon as possible, regardless of the severity of the injury or accident.

6-15Hiring Relatives/Employee Relationships

A familial relationship among employees can create an actual or at least a potential conflict of interest in the employment setting, especially where one relative supervises another relative. To avoid this problem, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. may refuse to hire or place a relative in a position where the potential for favoritism or conflict exists.

In other cases, such as personal relationships where a conflict or the potential for conflict arises, even if there is no supervisory relationship involved, the parties may be separated by reassignment or discharged from employment, at the discretion of the Company. Accordingly, all parties to any type of intimate personal relationship must inform management.

If two employees marry, become related, or enter into an intimate relationship, they may not remain in a reporting relationship or in positions where one individual may affect the compensation or other terms or conditions of employment of the other individual. The Company generally will attempt to identify other available positions, but if no alternate position is available, the Company retains the right to decide which employee will remain with the Company.

For the purposes of this policy, a relative is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the employee is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage.

6-16Employee Dress and Personal Appearance

Employees are expected to report to work well groomed, clean, and dressed according to the requirements of their position. For a majority of office staff, business casual attire is required. Some employees may be required to wear uniforms or safety equipment/clothing. Employees should contact their manager for specific information regarding acceptable attire for their position. All employees must wear closed toe shoes. If employees report to work dressed or groomed inappropriately, they will be asked to leave for the day, unpaid.

6-17Publicity/Statements to the Media

All media inquiries seeking the Company's official position as to any issue of the Company must be referred to the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman. Only the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman is authorized to make or approve public statements on behalf of the Company. No employees, unless specifically designated by the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman, are authorized to make those statements on behalf of the Company. Any employee wishing to write and/or publish an article, paper, or other publication on behalf of the Company must first obtain approval from the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman.

6-18Operation of Vehicles

All employees authorized to drive Company-owned or leased vehicles or personal vehicles in conducting Company business must possess a current, valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record. Any change in license status or driving record must be reported to management immediately.

Employees must have a valid driver's license in their possession while operating a vehicle off or on Company property. It is the responsibility of every employee to drive safely and obey all traffic, vehicle safety, and parking laws or regulations. Drivers must demonstrate safe driving habits at all times.

Company-owned or leased vehicles may be used only as authorized by management.

Portable Communication Device Use While Driving

Employees who drive on Company business must abide by all state or local laws prohibiting or limiting portable communication device (PCD) use, including cell phones or personal digital assistants, while driving. Further, even if use is permitted, employees may choose to refrain from using any PCD while driving. "Use" includes, but is not limited to, talking or listening to another person or sending an electronic or text message via the PCD.

Regardless of the circumstances, including slow or stopped traffic, if any use is permitted while driving, employees should proceed to a safe location off the road and safely stop the vehicle before placing or accepting a call. If acceptance of a call is absolutely necessary while the employees are driving, and permitted by law, they must use a hands-free option and advise the caller that they are unable to speak at that time and will return the call shortly.

Under no circumstances should employees feel that they need to place themselves at risk to fulfill business needs.

Since this policy does not require any employee to use a PCD while driving, employees who are charged with traffic violations resulting from the use of their PCDs while driving will be solely responsible for all liabilities that result from such actions.

Texting and e-mailing while driving is prohibited in all circumstances.

6-19Business Expense Reimbursement

Employees will be reimbursed for reasonable approved expenses incurred in the course of business. These expenses must be approved by The Company, and may include air travel, hotels, motels, meals, cab fare, rental vehicles, or gas and car mileage for personal vehicles. All expenses incurred should be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer along with the receipts in a timely manner.

Employees are expected to exercise restraint and good judgment when incurring expenses. Employees should contact HR or The Company in advance if they have any questions about whether an expense will be reimbursed.

6-20Moonlighting Policy

Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. recognizes that employees may, on occasion, seek or maintain outside employment or self-employment. However, employees’ primary work obligation is to the Company. To ensure that outside employment does not conflict with Company operations or job performance, the following guidelines apply:

Job Performance

Employees are expected to perform their duties for Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. efficiently and effectively. Outside employment must not interfere with the employee’s job performance, attendance, scheduling, or ability to work required overtime or shifts.

Conflicts of Interest

Employees may not engage in any outside employment, business activity, or self-employment that competes with Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc., supplies goods or services to the Company, or could otherwise create a conflict of interest or the appearance of one.

Use of Company Resources

Employees are prohibited from using Company time, materials, equipment, facilities, confidential information, or other resources for outside employment or business activities.

Health and Safety

Because manufacturing work can be physically demanding, employees must ensure that outside employment does not compromise their ability to safely and effectively perform their duties. Fatigue or injury resulting from other employment will not excuse unsatisfactory performance or safety violations.

Disclosure and Approval

Employees are required to notify Human Resources in writing before accepting or continuing outside employment. The Company reserves the right to deny or rescind approval if the outside employment is determined to interfere with business interests, job performance, or workplace safety.

Disciplinary Action

Failure to disclose outside employment or engaging in prohibited moonlighting activities may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

6-21Food Sharing Policy

To maintain the highest standards of health, safety, and product integrity, Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc. (SMP) has established the following Food Sharing Policy. This policy is designed to ensure a clean, safe, and professional work environment for all employees and to support the Company’s commitment to quality manufacturing and regulatory compliance.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to prevent contamination risks, maintain sanitation standards, and protect employees who may have food allergies or dietary restrictions. Because SMP operates in a manufacturing environment where cleanliness and product safety are critical, food handling and sharing must be managed carefully.

General Guidelines

Food sharing is not permitted in production, packaging, warehouse, or laboratory areas.

Food may only be consumed or shared in designated break areas or lunchrooms that are separate from production zones.

Employees are expected to keep all food and beverages sealed and stored properly when not in use.

Homemade foods intended for sharing (such as potlucks or celebrations) must be approved in advance by Human Resources or the Department Manager to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

Employees must clean up after themselves and dispose of food waste in designated receptacles.

Allergens and Safety

Employees must exercise caution when bringing or sharing foods that contain common allergens (e.g., peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, dairy, soy, wheat).

SMP encourages labeling shared food items with ingredients to help protect those with allergies or dietary restrictions.

Any intentional or negligent act that jeopardizes another employee’s health or safety related to food sharing may result in disciplinary action.

All Company property— including but not limited to keys, security cards, parking passes, laptop computers, mobile devices, uniforms, and other equipment—must be returned on or before the employee’s final day of employment. Employees are also required to return all Company Confidential Information upon separation.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, employees may be held financially responsible for lost, unreturned, or damaged Company property. When lawful, the Company may recover such costs through payroll deduction.

6-25Video Surveillance Policy

To maintain a safe and secure workplace, the Company uses video surveillance systems at its facilities. Cameras are located in many areas around our facilities. These areas include, but are not limited to entrances, exits, parking lots, warehouses, production areas, common workspaces, hallways, and shipping/receiving areas. All areas where cameras are in operation will have appropriate signage indicating their presence.

Cameras will not be installed in restrooms, locker rooms, or other areas where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Video surveillance is used for legitimate business purposes, including workplace safety, protecting company assets, preventing theft or misconduct, investigating incidents, and assisting law enforcement if ever necessary.

Employees should understand that work areas where surveillance cameras are in operation are subject to monitoring for legitimate business purposes. While the Company respects employee privacy, individuals should not expect privacy in areas where cameras are clearly posted and operating, except where prohibited by law.

All recordings are Company property and may be accessed by authorized personnel for business or investigative purposes. Tampering with or interfering with surveillance equipment may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Employees who resign may be requested to participate in an exit interview, at the discretion of the company.

It is Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.'s policy to prohibit intentional and unintentional harassment of or against job applicants, contractors, interns, volunteers, or employees by another employee, manager, vendor, customer, or any third party on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information ,or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws (referred to as "protected characteristics"). Such conduct will not be tolerated by Supplement Manufacturing Partner, Inc.

The purpose of this policy is not to regulate any employee's personal morality, but to ensure that no one harasses another individual in the workplace, including while on Company premises, while on Company business (whether or not on Company premises) or while representing the Company. In addition to being a violation of this policy, harassment or retaliation based on any protected characteristic as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws also is unlawful. For example, sexual harassment and retaliation against an individual because the individual filed a complaint of sexual harassment or because an individual aided, assisted, or testified in an investigation or proceeding involving a complaint of sexual harassment as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws are unlawful.

Harassment Defined

Harassment generally is defined in this policy as unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of any actual or perceived protected characteristic or has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Harassment can be verbal (including slurs, jokes, insults, epithets, gestures, or teasing), visual (including offensive posters, symbols, cartoons, drawings, computer displays, text messages, social media posts, or e- mails), or physical conduct (including physically threatening another, blocking someone's way, etc.). Such conduct violates this policy, even if it does not rise to the level of a violation of applicable federal, state, or local laws. Because it is difficult to define unlawful harassment, employees are expected to behave at all times in a manner consistent with the intended purpose of this policy.

Sexual Harassment Defined

Sexual harassment can include all the above actions, as well as other unwelcome conduct, such as unwelcome or unsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, conversations regarding sexual activities and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

Submission to that conduct or those advances or requests is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; or

Submission to or rejection of the conduct or advances or requests by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting the individual; or

The conduct or advances or requests have the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Examples of conduct that violate this policy include:

Unwelcome flirtations, leering, whistling, touching, pinching, assault, or blocking normal movement;

Requests for sexual favors or demands for sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment;

Obscene or vulgar gestures, posters, or comments;

Sexual jokes or comments about a person's body, sexual prowess, or sexual deficiencies;

Propositions or suggestive or insulting comments of a sexual nature;

Derogatory cartoons, posters, and drawings;

Sexually explicit e-mails, text messages, or voicemails;

Uninvited touching of a sexual nature;

Unwelcome sexually related comments;

Conversation about a person's own or someone else's sex life;

Conduct or comments consistently targeted at a single gender, even if the content is not sexual; and

Teasing or other conduct directed toward a person because of the person's gender.

Reporting Procedures

If the employee has been subjected to or witnessed conduct which violates this policy, the employee should immediately report the matter to Chief Human Resources Officer. If the employee is unable for any reason to contact this person or if the employee has not received an initial response within five (5) business days after reporting any incident of what the employee perceives to be harassment, the employee should contact Human Resources Department. If the person toward whom the complaint is directed is one of the individuals indicated above, the employee should contact any higher-level manager in the reporting hierarchy.

Investigation Procedures

Every report of perceived harassment will be fully investigated, and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. All complaints will be kept confidential to the extent possible, but confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. All employees must cooperate with all investigations conducted pursuant to this policy.

Retaliation Prohibited

In addition, the Company will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who report unwelcome conduct to management or who cooperate in the investigations of such reports in accordance with this policy. If the employee has been subjected to any such retaliation, the employee should report it in the same manner in which the employee would report a claim of perceived harassment under this policy.

Violation of this policy, including any improper retaliatory conduct will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
