City -Wide Community Wellness Campaign A Message from Dr. Nel Wieman Senior Medical Officer, Mental Health and Wellness Feeling worried during a crisis is quite normal You may have feelings of distress due to the uncertainty we are experiencing. You might even find that the COVID 19 pandemic triggers symptoms of trauma Living through a pandemic can certainly affect mental health and wellness, By being aware of these negative impacts on our wellness, we are better able to cope with them First Nations people have a history of suffering adverse health impacts due to infectious diseases. Due to the historical, intergenerational, and contemporary trauma that many First Nations individuals live with the pandemic can also be a trigger for symptoms related to trauma including increased distress, irritability, avoidance, and feeling overly emotional. It will be very helpful if people can stay calm keep themselves informed, and feel in control of the measures that they can take to protect themselves and their families. It's also important for First Nations people and communities to realize that we have so many strengths We have been through adverse circumstances before - many, many times. We will get through this pandemic too. We are resilient. We are stronger together. One of the best things we can do for our mental wellness is to be as informed as possible without spending 24 hours a day listening to news channels radio, or being on social media Give yourself some hours a day dedicated to activities that make you feel good. That could be a whole number of different things depending on who you are. Try to choose activities that encompass all parts of wellness — heart, mind, body, and spirit. The Circle of Brotherhood will provide the following services throughout the City of Miami: • Mentoring and Recreational/ Fitness Activities • Parenting Glasses • Coordinated DJJ program for males/females • Police and community relations forums • Youth Peace Ambassadors Training • Transformation training for all hands on our youth • Wellness/Healing classes for men/women/children 2. Establish a Public Housing/Neighborhood Assistance Support Network( COB) Socio,Epidemiological Study of the Cycle of Public Housing and Poverty and The Application of Best Practices in Human Transformation and Community Relocation Initiatives Abstract: Circular patterns of poverty, crime, violence, and educational failures in urban public housing communities across America and designated zones in Miami Dade that have been plagued by poverty, non effective communication, and poor education, and have seen in most cases; no long-term investment in sustainable proven initiatives that cover all areas of transitional and community development. Too many quick fixes and clean-up or move -out campaigns are launched where the appearance of improvement lasts for a little while and the status quo returns There is a need for public housing residents who are in the process of relocation to be properly supported based on long-term needs; concerning the quality of life issues and issues related to the transitional housing process This initiative attacks the mindset that produces cycles and generations of families in public housing. Having no navigational framework for life or a process leads to thoughts of worthlessness/decreased human value and non productive living... the poor quality of living will remain as a norm; which at its root stems from the lack of a connector of governmental and educational objectives. We are that connector; that leads toward personal and social introspection and empowerment; which in turn leads to the discovety of one's aim and purpose for self and community. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/edison-liberty-city/article24984 4478.html#storylink-bignews_related Topics in Our Training will include: • Cultural Awareness • Housing Transitioning • Exploring-Long--and-Short T-erm Life Goals • Section 8 Public Housing 101 Moving into New Areas & Arenas • Making and Breaking Habits • Referrals to Accessible Health Care • Referrals to Accessible Mental Health Care • Referrals to Substance Abuse Treatment • Barrier Removal Process • The Legalities or Life Transitions • Navigation 101 • Exploring Long- and Short Term Residential Goals • Transitional Life Coaching Mentorship toward Home Ownership • Case Management Process/Case Managers Developing Peer Support Specialists • Assisting Transportation needs, Job Interview Preparation, Grooming, and Self Care • Conflict Resolution • Financial Planning • Household Management • Overcoming Impediments • Youth Development Needs Addressing New Child Care Arrangements • Child Adjustment to Relocation Changes: (New School, Community Linkages {Church, Activities} 3.

If the entity has no FEIN, include the So al Security Number of the individual signing this sworn NJA- Statement: 2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, mean a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transactions of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States including, but not limited to any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or any agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation. 3. I understand that "convicted" or "convection" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a Jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. 4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means: 1. A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of public entity crime; or 2. An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate. 5. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services 30 let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity. 6. Based o ' information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in a relation to the entity s mitting this sworn statement. (Please indicate with an "X" which statement applies). Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, artners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime within the past 36 months. The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime within the past 36 months. AND (Please indicate which additional statement applies). The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime within the past 36 months. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officers of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. (Attached is a copy of the final order). I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY AND, THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED AND FOR THE PERIOD OF THE CONTRACT ENTERED INTO, WHICHEVER PERIOD IS LONGER.

The indemnification shall apply only to a person who was or is a Director or officer of the Corporation, or as may otherwise be determined by the Board. The person may be indemnified and held harmless against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably 7 believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not by itself create a presumption that: (a) the person did not act in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; or (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 7.02 Derivative Actions. Subject to all of the provisions of this Article VII, the Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person was or is a Director or officer of the Corporation, or as may otherwise be determined by the Board. The person may be indemnified and held harmless against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorney fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the person in connection with the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. However, indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue, or matter in which the person has been found liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought has determined on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the expenses that the court considers proper. 7.03 Expenses of Successful Defense. To the extent that a person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in sections 7.01 or 7.02 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding, the person may be indemnified against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorney fees) incurred in connection with the action and in any proceeding brought to enforce indemnification provided by this Article VII. 7.04 Contract Right; Limitation on Indemnity. Any indemnification conferred in this Article VII may be a contract right and may apply to services of a director or officer as an employee or agent of the Corporation as well as in the person's capacity as a director or officer. The. Corporation shall have no obligations under this Article to indemnify any person in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by the person without authorization by the Board. 8 7.05 Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Any indemnification under sections 7.01 or 7.02 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case. The Corporation must determine that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in sections 7.01 or 7.02, whichever is applicable. Determination shall be made in any of the following ways: (a) by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; (b) if the quorum described in clause (a) above cannot be obtained, then by a committee of not less than two disinterested directors who are not parties to the action; or (c) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 7.06 Proportionate Indemnity. If a person is entitled to indemnification under sections 7.01 or 7.02 of this Article VII for a portion of expenses, including attorney fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, but not for the total amount, the Corporation shall indemnify the person for the portion of the expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, or amounts paid in settlement for which the person is entitled to be indemnified. 7.07 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification of directors and officers of the Corporation. 7.08 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase, own and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who was or is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation. The insurance may protect against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify against such liability under this Article VII or the laws of the State of Florida. 7.09 Changes in Florida Law. If there are any changes in the Florida statutory provisions applicable to the Corporation and relating to the subject matter of this Article VII, then the indemnification to which any person may be entitled shall be determined by the changed provisions, but only to the extent that any change permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the provisions permitted the Corporation to provide before the change. 9 ARTICLE VIII COMPENSATION 8.01 Compensation for Members of the Board and Officers.

This means that either the employee or the company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Nothing in this employee handbook is intended to or creates an employment agreement, express or implied. Nothing contained in this or any other document provided to the employee is intended to be, nor should it be, construed as a contract that employment or any benefit will be continued for any period of time. In addition, no company representative is authorized to modify this policy for any employee or to enter into any agreement, oral or written, that changes the at -will relationship. Any salary figures provided to an employee in annual or monthly terms are stated for the sake of convenience or to facilitate comparisons and are not intended and do not create an employment contract for any specific period of time. Nothing in this statement is intended to interfere with, restrain, or prevent concerted activity as protected by the National Labor Relations Act. Such activity includes employee communications regarding wages, hours, or other terms or conditions of employment. Circle of Brotherhood employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities. Equal Opportunity and Commitment to Diversity Equal Opportunity Circle of Brotherhood provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, disability, gender identity, results of genetic testing, or service in the military. Equal employment opportunity applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, compensation, and training. Circle of Brotherhood expressly prohibits any form of unlawful employee harassment or discrimination based on any of the characteristics mentioned above. Improper interference with the ability of other employees to perform their expected job duties is absolutely not tolerated. Any employees with questions or concerns about equal employment opportunities in the workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of the HR Manager. The Company will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who raise issues of equal employment opportunity. If an employee feels he or she has been subjected to any such retaliation, he or she should bring it to the attention of the HR Manager. Retaliation means adverse conduct taken because an individual reported an actual or perceived violation of this policy, opposed practices prohibited by this policy, or participated in the reporting and investigation process described below. "Adverse conduct" includes but is not limited to: (1) shunning and avoiding an individual who reports harassment, discrimination or retaliation; (2) express or implied threats or intimidation intended to prevent an individual from reporting harassment, discrimination or retaliation; or (3) denying employment benefits because an applicant or employee reported harassment, discrimination or retaliation or participated in the reporting and investigation process. Complaints of discrimination should be filed according to the procedures described in the Harassment and Complaint Procedure. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Reasonable Accommodation To ensure equal employment opportunities to qualified individuals with a disability, Circle of Brotherhood will make reasonable accommodations for the known disability of an otherwise qualified individual, unless undue hardship on the operation of the business would result Employees who may require a reasonable accommodation should contact the Human Resources Department. Commitment to Diversity Circle of Brotherhood is committed to creating and maintaining a workplace in which all employees have an opportunity to participate and contribute to the success of the business and are valued for their skills, experience, and unique perspectives. This commitment is embodied in company policy and the way we do business at Circle of Brotherhood and is an important principle of sound business management. Harassment and Complaint Procedure Sexual and other unlawful harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), as amended, as well as many state laws. Harassment based on a characteristic protected by law, such as race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, religion, age, disability, veteran status, or other characteristic protected by state or federal law, is prohibited. It is Circle of Brotherhood's policy to provide a work environment free of sexual and other harassment. To that end, harassment of Circle of Brotherhood's employees by management, supervisors, coworkers, or nonemployees who are in the workplace is absolutely prohibited. Further, any retaliation against an individual who has complained about sexual or other harassment or retaliation against individuals for cooperating with an investigation of a harassment complaint is similarly unlawful and will not be tolerated. Circle of Brotherhood will take all steps necessary to prevent and eliminate unlawful harassment. Definition of Unlawful Harassment. "Unlawful harassment" is conduct that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment; has the purpose or effect of substantially and unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance; or otherwise adversely affects an individual's employment opportunities because of the individual's membership in a protected class. Unlawful harassment includes, but is not limited to, epithets; slurs; jokes; pranks; innuendo; comments; written or graphic material; stereotyping; or other threatening, hostile, or intimidating acts based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, disability, veteran status, or other characteristic protected by state or federal law. Definition of Sexual Harassment. While all forms of harassment are prohibited, special attention should be paid to sexual harassment. "Sexual harassment" is generally defined under both state and federal law as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature where: • Submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of any individual's employment or as a basis for employment decisions; or • Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. Other sexually oriented conduct, whether intended or not, that is unwelcome and has the effect of creating a work environment that is hostile, offensive, intimidating, or humiliating to workers may also constitute sexual harassment. While it is not possible to list all those additional circumstances that may constitute sexual harassment, the following are some examples of conduct that, if unwelcome, may constitute sexual harassment depending on the totality of the circumstances, including the severity of the conduct and its pervasiveness: • Unwanted sexual advances, whether they involve physical touching or not; • Sexual epithets, jokes, written or oral references to sexual conduct, gossip regarding one's sex life, comments about an individual's body, comments about an individual's sexual activity, deficiencies, or prowess; • Displaying sexually suggestive objects, pictures, or cartoons; • Unwelcome leering, whistling, brushing up against the body, sexual gestures, or suggestive or insulting comments; • Inquiries into one's sexual experiences; and • Discussion of one's sexual activities. All employees should take special note that, as stated above, retaliation against an individual who has complained about sexual harassment and retaliation against individuals for cooperating with an investigation of sexual harassment complaint is unlawful and will not be tolerated at Circle of Brotherhood. Complaint Procedure. Any employee who believes he or she has been subject to or witnessed illegal discrimination, including sexual or other forms of unlawful harassment, is requested and encouraged to make a complaint. You may complain directly to your immediate supervisor or department manager, the HR director, or any other member of management with whom you feel comfortable bringing such a complaint. Similarly, if you observe acts of discrimination toward or harassment of another employee, you are requested and encouraged to report this to one of the individuals listed above. No reprisal, retaliation, or other adverse action will be taken against an employee for making a complaint or report of discrimination or harassment or for assisting in the investigation of any such complaint or report. Any suspected retaliation or intimidation should be reported immediately to one of the persons identified above. All complaints will be investigated promptly and, to the extent possible, with regard for confidentiality. If the investigation confirms conduct contrary to this policy has occurred, Circle of Brotherhood will take immediate, appropriate, corrective action, including discipline, up to and including immediate termination. Conflicts of Interest and Confidentiality Conflicts of Interest Circle of Brotherhood expects all employees to conduct themselves and company business in a manner that reflects the highest standards of ethical conduct, and in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations. This includes avoiding real and potential conflicts of interests. Exactly what constitutes a conflict of interest or an unethical business practice is both a moral and a legal question. Circle of Brotherhood recognizes and respects the individual employee's right to engage in activities outside of employment which are private in nature and do not in any way conflict with or reflect poorly on the company. It is not possible to define all the circumstances and relationships that might create a conflict of interest. If a situation arises where there is a potential conflict of interest, the employee should discuss this with a manager for advice and guidance on how to proceed. The list below suggests some of the types of activity that indicate improper behavior, unacceptable personal integrity, or unacceptable ethics: 1. Simultaneous employment by another firm that is a competitor of or supplier to Circle of Brotherhood. 2. Carrying on company business with a firm in which the employee, or a close relative of the employee, has a substantial ownership or interest. 3. Holding a substantial interest in, or participating in the management of, a firm to which the company makes sales or from which it makes purchases. 4. Borrowing money from customers or firms, other than recognized loan institutions, from which our company buys services, materials, equipment, or supplies. 5. Accepting substantial gifts or excessive entertainment from an outside organization or agency. 6. Speculating or dealing in materials, equipment, supplies, services, or property purchased by the company. 7. Participating in civic or professional organization activities in a manner that divulges confidential company information. 8. Misusing privileged information or revealing confidential data to outsiders. 9. Using one's position in the company or knowledge of its affairs for personal gains. 10. Engaging in practices or procedures that violate antitrust laws, commercial bribery laws, copyright laws, discrimination laws, campaign contribution laws, or other laws regulating the conduct of company business. Confidential Information The protection of confidential business information and trade secrets is vital to the interests and success of Circle of Brotherhood. Confidential information is any and all information disclosed to or known by you because of employment with the company that is not generally known to people outside the company about its business. An employee who improperly uses or discloses trade secrets or confidential business information will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment and legal action, even if he or she does not actually benefit from the disclosed information. All inquiries from the media must be referred to the Circle of Brotherhood. This provision is not intended to, and should not be interpreted to, prohibit employees from discussing wages and other terms and conditions of employment if they so choose. Employment Relationship Employment Classification In order to determine eligibility for benefits and overtime status and to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, Circle of Brotherhood classifies its employees as shown below. Circle of Brotherhood may review or change employee classifications at any time. Exempt. Exempt employees are paid on a salaried basis and are not eligible to receive overtime pay. Nonexempt. Nonexempt employees are paid on an hourly basis and are eligible to receive overtime pay for overtime hours worked. Regular, Full -Time. Employees who are not in a temporary status and work a minimum of 30 hours weekly and maintain continuous employment status. Generally, these employees are eligible for the full-time benefits package and are subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefits program. Regular, Part -Time. Employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work fewer than 30 hours weekly, but at least 20 hours weekly, and who maintain continuous employment status. Part-time employees are eligible for some of the benefits offered by the company and are subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefits program. Temporary, Full -Time. Employees who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily supplement the workforce or to assist in the completion of a specific project and who are temporarily scheduled to work the company's full-time schedule for a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status. Temporary, Part -Time. Employees who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily supplement the workforce or to assist in the completion of a specific project and who are temporarily scheduled to work fewer than 30 hours weekly for a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status. Work Week and Hours of Work The standard workweek is from Sunday 12:00 a.m. until Saturday 11:59 p.m. and generally consists of 40 work hours. Office hours are 9:0 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a 1 hour lunch break. Individual work schedules may vary depending on the needs of each department. Meal and Rest Breaks Employees are entitled to a 1 hour meal break each day. Employees are also entitled to two 15- minute rest periods each day. Meal and rest breaks will be scheduled by the department supervisor or manager. Time Records All nonexempt employees are required to complete accurate weekly time reports showing all time actually worked. These records are required by governmental regulations and are used to calculate regular and overtime pay. At the end of each week, the employee and his or her supervisor must sign the time sheet attesting to its correctness before forwarding it to the Human Resources department. Overtime When required due to the needs of the business, you may be asked to work overtime. Overtime is actual hours worked in excess of 40 in a single workweek. Nonexempt employees will be paid overtime compensation at the rate of one and one half their regular rate of pay for all hours over 40 actually worked in a single workweek. Paid leave, such as holiday, PTO, bereavement time, and jury duty does not apply toward work time. All overtime work must be approved in advance by a supervisor or manager. Deductions from Pay/Safe Harbor Exempt Employees The Company does not make improper deductions from the salaries of exempt employees and complies with the salary basis requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Employees classified as exempt from the overtime pay requirements of the FLSA will be notified of this classification at the time of hire or change in position. Permitted deductions. The FLSA limits the types of deductions that may be made from the pay of an exempt employee. Deductions that are permitted include: • Deductions that are required by law, e.g., income taxes; • Deductions for employee benefits when authorized by the employee; • Absence from work for one or more full days for personal reasons other than sickness or disability; • Absence from work for one or more full days due to sickness or disability if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy or practice of providing compensation for salary lost due to illness; • Offset for amounts received as witness or jury fees, or for military pay; or • Unpaid disciplinary suspensions of one or more full days imposed in good faith for workplace conduct rule infractions. During the week an exempt employee begins work for the company or during the last week of employment, the employee will only be paid for actual hours worked. In addition, an employee may be paid only for hours worked during a period when the employee is using unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Improper deductions. if an employee classified as exempt believes that an improper deduction has been taken from his or her pay, the employee should immediately report the deduction to the Human Resources Department. The report will be promptly investigated and if it is found that an improper deduction has been made, the company will reimburse the employee for the improper deduction. Paychecks Circle of Brotherhood's pay period for all employees is biweekly on Friday. If pay day falls on a federal holiday, employees will receive their paycheck on the preceding workday. Paychecks are directly deposited into your checking and/or savings accounts. Access to Personnel Files Employee files are maintained by the Human Resources department and are considered confidential. Managers and supervisors may only have access to personnel file information on a need -to -know basis. Personnel file access by current employees and former employees upon request will generally be permitted within 3 days of the request unless otherwise required under state law. Personnel files are to be reviewed in the Human Resources department. Employee files may not be taken outside the department. Representatives of government or law enforcement agencies, in the course of their duties, may be allowed access to file information. Employment of Relatives and Domestic Partners Relatives and domestic partners may be hired by the company if (1) the persons concerned will not work in a direct supervisory relationship, and (2) the employment will not pose difficulties for supervision, security, safety, or morale. For the purposes of this policy, "relatives" are defined as spouses, children, siblings, parents, or grandparents. A "domestic partnership" is generally defined as a committed relationship between two individuals who are sharing a home or living arrangements. Current employees who marry each other or become involved in a domestic partnership will be permitted to continue employment with the company provided they don't work in a direct supervisory relationship with each other or otherwise pose difficulties as mentioned above. If employees who marry or live together do work in a direct supervisory relationship with each other, the company will attempt to reassign one of the employees to another position for which he or she is qualified if such a position is available. If no such position is available, the employees will be permitted to determine which one of them will resign from the company. Separation from Employment In all cases of voluntary resignation (one initiated by the employee), employees are asked to provide a written notice to their supervisors at least 10 working days in advance of the last day of work. The 10 days must be actual working days. Holidays and paid time off (PTO) will not be counted toward the 10-day notice. Employees who provide the requested amount of notice will be considered to have resigned in good standing and generally will be eligible for rehire. In most cases, Human Resources will conduct an exit meeting on or before the last day of employment to collect all company property, and to discuss final pay. If applicable, information regarding benefits continuation through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) will be sent to the employee's home address. [ Should it become necessary because of business conditions to reduce the number of employees or work hours, this will be done at the discretion of the company.

"Smoking" includes the use of any tobacco products (including chewing tobacco), electronic smoking devices, and e- cigarettes. Smoking is only permitted during break times in designated outdoor areas. Employees using these areas are expected to dispose of any smoking debris safely and properly. Workplace Violence Prevention Circle of Brotherhood is committed to providing a safe, violence -free workplace for our employees. Due to this commitment, we discourage employees from engaging in any physical confrontation with a violent or potentially violent individual or from behaving in a threatening or violent manner. Threats, threatening language, or any other acts of aggression or violence made toward or by any employee will not be tolerated. A threat may include any verbal or physical harassment or abuse, attempts to intimidate others, menacing gestures, stalking, or any other hostile, aggressive, and/or destructive actions taken for the purposes of intimidation. This policy covers any violent or potentially violent behavior that occurs in the workplace or at company -sponsored functions. All Circle of Brotherhood employees bear the responsibility of keeping our work environment free from violence or potential violence. Any employee who witnesses or is the recipient of violent behavior should promptly inform their supervisor, manager, or the Human Resources Department. All threats will be promptly investigated. No employee will be subject to retaliation, intimidation, or discipline as a result of reporting a threat in good faith under this guideline. Any individual engaging in violence against the company, its employees, or its property will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. All acts will be investigated, and the appropriate action will be taken. Any such act or threatening behavior may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Circle of Brotherhood prohibits the possession of weapons on its property at all times, including our parking lots or company vehicles. Additionally, while on duty, employees may not carry a weapon of any type. Weapons include, but are not limited to, handguns, rifles, automatic weapons, and knives that can be used as weapons (excluding pocketknives, utility knives, and other instruments that are used to open packages, cut string, and for other miscellaneous tasks), martial arts paraphernalia, stun guns, and tear gas. Any employee violating this policy is subject to discipline up to and including dismissal for the first offense. The company reserves the right to inspect all belongings of employees on its premises, including packages, briefcases, purses and handbags, gym bags, and personal vehicles on company property. In addition, Circle of Brotherhood may inspect the contents of lockers, storage areas, file cabinets, desks, and work stations at any time and may remove all Company property and other items that are in violation of Company rules and policies. Commitment to Safety Protecting the safety of our employees and visitors is the most important aspect of running our business. All employees have the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to a safe work environment by using commonsense rules and safe practices and by notifying management when any health or safety issues are present. All employees are encouraged to partner with management to ensure maximum safety for all. In the event of an emergency, notify the appropriate emergency personnel by dialing 9 for an outside line, then dial 911 to activate the medical emergency services. Emergency Closings Circle of Brotherhood will always make every attempt to be open for business. In situations in which some employees are concerned about their safety, management may advise supervisors to notify their departments that the office is not officially closed, but anyone may choose to leave the office if he or she feels uncomfortable. If the office is officially closed during the course of the day to permit employees to leave early, nonexempt employees who are working on -site as of the time of the closing will be paid for a full day. If you leave earlier than the official dosing time, you will be paid only for actual hours worked, or you can take PTO time. Exempt employees will be paid for a normal full day but are expected to complete their work at another time. Workplace Guidelines Attendance All employees are expected to arrive on time, ready to work, every day they are scheduled to work. If unable to arrive at work on time, or if an employee will be absent for an entire day, the employee must contact the supervisor as soon as possible. Voice mail and e-mail messages are not acceptable except in certain emergency circumstances. Excessive absenteeism or tardiness will result in discipline up to and including termination. Failure to show up or call in for a scheduled shift without prior approval may result in termination. If an employee fails to report to work or call in to inform the supervisor of the absence for 3 consecutive days or more, the employee will be considered to have voluntarily resigned employment. Job Performance Communication between employees and supervisors or managers is very important. Discussions regarding job performance are ongoing and often informal. Employees should initiate conversations with their supervisors if they feel additional ongoing feedback is needed. Generally, formal performance reviews are conducted annually. These reviews include a written performance appraisal and discussion between the employee and the supervisor about job performance and expectations for the coming year. Outside Employment Employees are permitted to work a second job as long as it does not interfere with their job performance with Circle of Brotherhood. Employees with a second job are expected to work their assigned schedules. A second job will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal to travel, or refusal to work overtime or different hours. If outside work activity causes or contributes to job -related problems, it must be discontinued, or the employee may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Dress and Grooming Circle of Brotherhood provides a casual yet professional work environment for its employees. Even though the dress code is casual, it is important to project a professional image to our customers, visitors, and coworkers. All employees are expected to dress in a manner consistent with good hygiene, safety, and good taste. Please use common sense. Any questions or complaints regarding the appropriateness of attire should be directed to the Human Resources department. Decisions regarding attire will be made by the Human Resources department and not by individual departments or managers. Social Media Acceptable Use Circle of Brotherhood encourages employees to share information with co-workers and with those outside the company for the purposes of gathering information, generating new ideas, and learning from the work of others. Social media provide inexpensive, informal, and timely ways to participate in an exchange of ideas and information. However, information posted on a website is available to the public and, therefore, the company has established the following guidelines for employee participation in social media. Note: As used in this policy, "social media" refers to blogs, forums, and social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkedln, YouTube, Instagram, and SnapChat, among others. Off -duty use of social media. Employees may maintain personal websites or weblogs on their own time using their own facilities. Employees must ensure that social media activity does not interfere with their work. In general, the company considers social media activities to be personal endeavors, and employees may use them to express their thoughts or promote their ideas. On -duty use of social media. Employees may engage in social media activity during work time provided it is directly related to their work, approved by their manager, and does not identify or reference company clients, customers, or vendors without express permission. The company monitors employee use of company computers and the Internet, including employee blogging and social networking activity. Respect. Demonstrate respect for the dignity of the company, its owners, its customers, its vendors, and its employees. A social media site is a public place, and employees should avoid inappropriate comments. For example, employees should not divulge Circle of Brotherhood confidential information such as trade secrets, client lists, or information restricted from disclosure by law on social media sites. Similarly, employees should not engage in harassing or discriminatory behavior that targets other employees or individuals because of their protected class status or make defamatory comments. Even if a message is posted anonymously, it may be possible to trace it back to the sender. Post disclaimers. If an employee identifies himself or herself as a company employee or discusses matters related to the company on a social media site, the site must include a disclaimer on the front page stating that it does not express the views of the company and that the employee is expressing only his or her personal views. For example: "The views expressed on this website/Weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer." Place the disclaimer in a prominent position and repeat it for each posting expressing an opinion related to the company or the company's business. Employees must keep in mind that if they post information on a social media site that is in violation of company policy and/or federal, state, or local law, the disclaimer will not shield them from disciplinary action. Competition. Employees should not use a social media to criticize the company's competition and should not use it to compete with the company. Confidentiality. Do not identify or reference company clients, customers, or vendors without express permission. Employees may write about their jobs in general but may not disclose any confidential or proprietary information. For examples of confidential information, please refer to the confidentiality policy. When in doubt, ask before publishing. New ideas. Please remember that new ideas related to work or the company's business belong to the company. Do not post them on a social media site without the company's permission. Links. Employees may provide a link from a social media site to the company's website during employment (subject to discontinuance at the company's sole discretion). Employees should contact the Web design group to obtain the graphic for links to the company's site and to register the site with the company. Trademarks and copyrights. Do not use the company's or others' trademarks on a social media site, or reproduce the company's or others' material without first obtaining permission. Avoid statements about the company's future. Because the company is publicly held, writing about projected growth, sales and profits, future products or services, marketing plans, or the stock price may violate Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules or other applicable Taws. Legal. Employees are expected to comply with all applicable laws, including but not limited to, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, copyright, trademark, and harassment laws. Company restrictions. Because the company is publicly held, it may require that employees temporarily confine social media commentary to topics unrelated to the company or that employees temporarily suspend such activity to ensure compliance with the SEC's regulations or other laws. The company may also require employees to delete references to it on a website or Web log and to stop identifying themselves as an employee of the company. Discipline. Violations of this policy may result in discipline up to and including immediate termination of employment. Note: Nothing in this policy is meant to, nor should it be interpreted to, in any way limit your rights under any applicable federal, state, or local laws, including your rights under the National Labor Relations Act to engage in protected concerted activities with other employees to improve or discuss terms and conditions of employment, such as wages, working conditions, and benefits. Bulletin Boards All required governmental postings are posted on the boards located in the break room. These boards may also contain general announcements. Employees may submit to Human Resources notices of general interest, such as for -sale notices; recreational -type announcements and/or club functions (e-mail should not be used for the aforementioned); postcards; expressions of gratitude or sympathy; and notices looking for/offering carpools, tickets, roommates, or pets. Human Resources approves, posts, and takes down all notices. All notices posted by employees will be removed after 2 weeks unless otherwise stipulated. The company reserves the right to refuse permission to post or to take down any announcement. Solicitation Employees should be able to work in an environment that is free from unnecessary annoyances and interference with their work. In order to protect our employees and visitors, solicitation by employees is strictly prohibited while either the employee being solicited or the employee doing the soliciting is on "working time." "Working time" is defined as time during which an employee is not at a meal, on break, or on the premises immediately before or after his or her shift. Employees are also prohibited from distributing written materials, handbills, or any other type of literature on working time and, at all times, in "working areas," which includes all office areas. "Working areas" do not include break rooms, parking lots, or common areas shared by employees during nonworking time. Nonemployees may not trespass or solicit or distribute materials anywhere on company property at any time. Computers, Internet, Email, and Other Resources The company provides a wide variety of communication tools and resources to employees for use in running day-to-day business activities. Whether it is the telephone, voice mail, fax, scanner, Internet, intranet, e-mail, text messaging, or any other company -provided technology, use should be reserved for business -related matters during working hours. All communication using these tools should be handled in a professional and respectful manner. Employees should not have any expectation of privacy in their use of company computer, phone, or other communication tools. All communications made using company -provided equipment or services including email and Internet activity, are subject to inspection by the company. Employees should keep in mind that even if they delete an email, voicemail or other communication, a copy may be archived on the company's systems. Employee use of company -provided communication systems, including personal e-mail and internet use, that are not job -related have the potential to drain, rather than enhance, productivity and system performance. You should also be aware that information transmitted through e-email and the Internet is not completely secure or may contain viruses or malware, and information you transmit and receive could damage the company's systems as well as the reputation and/or competitiveness of the company. To protect against possible problems, delete any e-mail messages prior to opening that are received from unknown senders and advertisers. It also is against company policy to turn off antivirus protection software or make unauthorized changes to system configurations installed on company computers. Violations of this policy may result in termination for a first offense. The company encourages employees to use e-mail only to communicate with fellow employees, suppliers, customers, or potential customers regarding company business. Internal and external e-mails are considered business records and may be subject to federal and state recordkeeping requirements as well as to discovery in the event of litigation. Be aware of this possibility when sending e-mails within and outside the company. All use of company -provided communications systems, including e-mail and Internet use, should conform to our company guidelines/policies, including but not limited to the Equal Opportunity, Harassment, Confidential Information, and Conflicts of Interest. So for example, employees should not engage in harassing or discriminatory behavior that targets other employees or individuals because of their protected class status or make defamatory comments. Similarly, employees should not divulge confidential information such as trade secrets, client lists, or information restricted from disclosure by law on social media sites. Because e-mail, telephone and voice mail, and internet communication equipment are provided for company business purposes and are critical to the company's success, your communications may be accessed without further notice by Information Technology department administrators and company management to ensure compliance with this guideline. The electronic communication systems are not secure and may allow inadvertent disclosure, accidental transmission to third parties, etc. Sensitive information should not be sent via unsecured electronic means. Office telephones are for business purposes. While the company recognizes that some personal calls are necessary, these should be kept as brief as possible and to a minimum. Personal use of the company's cell phones, long-distance account, or toll -free numbers is strictly prohibited. Abuse of these privileges is subject to corrective action up to and including termination. The company reserves the right to monitor customer calls to ensure employees abide by company quality guidelines and provide appropriate levels of customer service. Employees working in sales and customer service will be subject to telephone monitoring and e-mail. [move to above] Should the subject matter of any telephone conversation become personal while monitoring is taking place, monitoring of the call will immediately be discontinued. Nothing in this policy is designed to interfere with, restrain, or prevent employee communications regarding wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment as protected under the National Labor Relations Act. Employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities. Disciplinary Procedure The Company expects employees to comply with the Company's standards of behavior and performance and to correct any noncompliance with these standards. Under normal circumstances, the Company endorses a policy of progressive discipline in which it attempts to provide employees with notice of deficiencies and an opportunity to improve. It does, however, retain the right to administer discipline in any manner it sees fit. This policy does not modify the status of employees as employees -at -will or in any way restrict the Company's right to bypass the disciplinary procedures suggested. The following steps are suggested in the discipline procedure. All steps should be documented in the employee's personnel file. Step 1: Informal Discussion. When a performance problem is first identified, the nature of the problem and the action necessary to correct it should be thoroughly discussed with the employee. Step 2: Counseling. If a private informal discussion with the employee has not resulted in corrective action, following a thorough investigation, the supervisor should meet with the employee and (a) review the problem, (b) permit the employee to present his or her views on the problem, (c) advise the employee that the problem must be corrected, (d) inform the employee that failure to correct the problem will result in further disciplinary action which may include discharge, and (e) issue a counseling notice to the employee. Step 3: Reprimand. If satisfactory performance and corrective action are not achieved under Steps I and 2, the supervisor and his or her superior should meet with the employee in private and proceed via (a) through (d) above, and issue a reprimand notice to the employee. Step 4: Suspension. Supervisors have the authority to temporarily remove employees from the workplace, with or without pay, if approved in advance by the department director and the director of Human Resources. An exempt employee generally may not be suspended without pay for Tess than a full day, and the suspension must be related to written workplace conduct rules applicable to all employees, e.g., such as a written policy prohibiting sexual harassment or workplace violence. Step 5: Failure to improve. Failure to improve performance or behavior after the written warning or suspension can result in termination. The progressive disciplinary procedures described above also may be applied to an employee who is experiencing a series of unrelated problems involving job performance or behavior. In cases involving serious misconduct, or any time the supervisor determines it is necessary, such as a major breach of policy or violation of law, the procedures contained above may be disregarded. Typically, the supervisor should suspend the employee immediately (with or without pay) and an investigation of the incidents leading up to the suspension should be conducted to determine if any further action, such as termination, should be taken. Time Off and Leaves of Absence Important Note: Many states and municipalities have laws related to leaves of absence and paid time off that include family and medical leave, paid sick leave, small necessities leave, leave for victims of domestic violence, etc. In addition, many have laws that are applicable to public sector employers. The provisions below only address federal law. Holidays The company observes and allows time off with pay for the following holidays: • New Year's Day • Presidents' Day • Memorial Day • Independence Day • Labor Day • Thanksgiving Day • Day after Thanksgiving • Workday directly before or after Christmas (depending on day of the week for Christmas) • Christmas • New Years Eve Day Any additional holidays will be designated by the company at start of each calendar year. If one of these holidays falls on a Sunday, it will be observed on the following Monday. If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the company will select either the following Monday or the preceding Friday as a substitute holiday. The company reserves the right to pay eligible employees in lieu of time off if the holiday falls on Saturday. Holiday pay. Full-time regular employees are eligible for holiday pay. Hourly employees become eligible after they have been actively with the company for 3 months. Salaried employees may receive holiday pay immediately upon joining the company. Part-time and temporary employees, including summer employees, are not eligible for holiday pay. Holiday pay shall be at the employee's regular straight -time rate, inclusive of shift premiums, times his regularly scheduled hours (not to exceed 8 hours). A holiday shall be considered as 8 hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime. To receive holiday pay, an eligible nonexempt employee must be at work or taking an approved absence on the work days immediately preceding and immediately following the day on which the holiday is observed. An approved absence is a day of paid vacation or paid sick leave. If an employee is absent on one or both of these days because of an illness or injury, the company may require verification of the reason for the absence before approving holiday pay. Religious observances. Employees who need time off to observe religious practices or holidays not already scheduled by the company should speak with their supervisor. Depending upon business needs, the employee may be able to work on a day that is normally observed as a holiday and then take time off for another religious day. Employees may also be able to switch a scheduled day with another employee, or take vacation time, or take off unpaid days. The company will seek to reasonably accommodate individuals' religious observances. Vacation Circle of Brotherhood recognizes the importance of time off from work to relax, spend time with family, and enjoy leisure activities. The company provides paid vacation time to full-time employees for this purpose and employees are encouraged to take vacation during the year. Part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week will be eligible for paid vacation on a pro rata schedule. Full-time employees will accrue paid vacation according to the following schedule (annual totals should be rounded to the nearest whole day): Service Period Monthly Vacation Accrual First Calendar Year 5/6 (.83) Days Calendar Years 2 — 4 5/6 (.83) Days (up to maximum of 10 days). Calendar Years 5-14 1 and % (1.25) Days (up to maximum of 15 days) Calendar Years 15 and over 1 and 2/3 (1.67) Days (up to maximum of 20 days) Employees may not take paid vacation until they actually have earned or accrued the vacation time. New employees accrue paid vacation at the start of employment but may not take any vacation until they have completed at least 6 months of employment. Generally, employees should submit vacation plans to their supervisor at least 4 weeks in advance of the requested vacation date. Vacation may be scheduled in increments of 1 full work day up to a maximum of 2 weeks in a row. Managers have the right to designate when some or all of vacations must be taken. Vacation should be used in the year it is earned. Employees will be permitted to carry-over up to 5 days of accrued vacation to the following calendar year, but the carry-over vacation must be used by March 31 of the following year. Unused vacation will be forfeited. Employees whose employment terminates will be paid for unused vacation time that has accrued during the calendar year of the termination. [NOTE: Some states and municipalities have laws or rules that prohibit "use -it -or -lose -it" vacation policies, and some have special rules about payment for accrued vacation upon termination of employment. Please review state and local laws when adopting a vacation policy] Sick Leave [Note: A number of states and municipalities have enacted paid sick leave laws and new laws continue to be enacted. Review state and local laws before finalizing a sick leave policy] Circle of Brotherhood provides regular, full-time and part-time employees with paid sick days. Employees become eligible for sick days after completing [Time Period] of employment.

Sick days may also be used if an employee needs time off for scheduled medical procedures. Employees may carry accrued sick days over from one year to the next. The maximum accrual allowed for full-time employees is [Number of days] days; and for part-time employees [Number of days] days. If the need for sick leave is foreseeable, employees are required to give at least 30 days' advance notice (e.g., a planned medical treatment) whenever possible. If the need for sick leave is not foreseeable, employees are asked to notify their supervisor as soon as is practical. If an employee misses [Number of Days] or more consecutive days because of illness, Circle of Brotherhood may require the employee to provide a physician's written permission to return to work. Except as required by state law, unused sick days are forfeited when an employee's employment ends for any reason. Family and Medical Leave Circle of Brotherhood complies with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which requires employers to grant unpaid leaves of absence to qualified workers for certain medical and family -related reasons. The company also abides by any state and local leave laws. The more generous of the laws will apply to the employee if the employee is eligible under both federal and state laws. [NOTE: CHECK STATE AND LOCAL LAWS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS SOME STATES HAVE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE LAWS, AND PAID SICK LEAVE LAWS THAT MAYBE MORE GENEROUS FORTH E EMPLOYEES IN THAT STATE OR CITY] Please note there are many requirements, qualifications, and exceptions under these laws, and each employee's situation is different. Contact the Human Resources department to discuss options for leave. The FKALArequires private employers with 5Ourmore employees and all public agencies, including state, local, and federal employers, and local education agencies (schools), to provide eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job -protected leave in any 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons.

Qualifying exigencies may include addressing issues that arise from (l) short notice of deployment (limited to up to seven days of leave); (2) attending certain military events and related activity; (3) arranging childcare and school activities; /4\ addressing certain financial and legal arrangements,- (S) attending certain counseling sessions; (6) spending time with covered military family members on short-term temporary rest and recuperation leave (limited to up to five days of leave); (7) attending post -deployment reintegration briefings; (8) arranging care for or providing care to a parent who is incapable of self -care; and /9\ any additional activities agreed upon by the employer and employee that arise out of the military member's active duty orcall to active duty. The FKALAa|so includes o special leave entitlement that permits eligible employees totake up to 26 weeks of leave to care for a covered servicemember during a single 12-month period. A covered servicemember is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who has a serious injury or illness incurred in the fine of duty on active duty that may render the servicemember medically unfit to perform his or her duties and for which the servicemember is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy; or is in outpatient status; orison the temporary disability retired list. Benefits and Protections During FMLA Leave. During FMLA leave, the Company will maintain the employee's health coverage under any "group health plan" on the same terms as if the employee had continued to work. Upon return from FMLA leave, most employees will be restored to their original or equivalent positions with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms. However, an employee on FMLA leave does not have any greater right to reinstatement or to other benefits and conditions of employment than if the employee had been continuously employed during the FMLA leave period. Certain highly compensated key employees also may be denied reinstatement when necessary to prevent "substantial and grievous economic injury" to the Company's operations. A "key" employee is an eligible salaried employee who is among the highest paid ten percent of the Company's employees within 75 miles of the worksite. Employees will be notified of their status as a key employee, when applicable, after they request FMLA leave. Use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued prior to the start of an employee's leave. Employee Eligibility. The FMLA defines eligible employees as employees who: (1) have worked for the Company for at least 12 months; (2) have worked for the Company for at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months; and (3) work at or report to a worksite which has 50 or more employees or is within 75 miles of Company worksites that taken together have a total of 50 or more employees. Definition of Serious Health Condition. 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, work, or other daily activities. Subject to certain conditions, the continuing treatment requirement may be met by a period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days combined with at least two visits to a health care provider or one visit and a regimen of continuing treatment, or incapacity due to pregnancy, or incapacity due to a chronic condition. Other conditions may meet the definition of continuing treatment. Use of Leave. An employee does not need to use this leave entitlement in one block. Leave can be taken intermittently or on a reduced work schedule when medically necessary. Employees must make reasonable efforts to schedule leave for planned medical treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the employer's operations. Leave due to qualifying exigencies also may be taken on an intermittent or reduced work schedule basis. Substitution of Paid Leave for Unpaid Leave. Employees may choose or employers may require the use of accrued paid leave while taking FMLA leave. Accordingly, the Company requires employees to use any accrued paid vacation, personal, and sick days during an unpaid FMLA leave taken because of the employee's own serious health condition or the serious health condition of a family member or to care for a seriously ill or injured family member in the military. In addition, the employee must use any accrued paid vacation or personal days (but not sick days) during FMLA leave taken to care for a newborn or newly placed child or for a qualifying exigency arising out of a family member's active duty or call to active duty status in support of a contingency operation. In order to use paid leave for FMLA leave, employees must comply with the Company's normal paid leave procedures found in its Vacation and Sick Leave policies. Employee Responsibilities. 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, the employee must provide notice as soon as practicable and generally must comply with the Company's normal call -in procedures. The Company may delay leave to employees who do not provide proper advance notice of the foreseeable need for leave, absent unusual circumstances preventing the notice. Employees must provide sufficient information for the Company to determine if the leave may qualify for FMLA protection and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave. Sufficient information may include that the employee is unable to perform job functions, the family member is unable to perform daily activities, the need for hospitalization or continuing treatment by a health care provider, or circumstances supporting the need for military family leave. Employees also must inform the Company if the requested leave is for a reason for which FMLA leave was previously taken or certified. Employees also are required to provide a certification and periodic recertification supporting the need for leave. The Company also may require a second, and if necessary, a third opinion (at the Company's expense) and, when the leave is a result of the employee's own serious health condition, a fitness for duty report to return to work. The Company also may delay or deny approval of leave for lack of proper medical certification. Company Responsibilities. The Company will inform employees requesting leave whether they are eligible under the FMLA. If they are, the notice will specify any additional information required as well as the employees' rights and responsibilities. If employees are not eligible, the Company will provide a reason for the ineligibility. The Company will inform employees if leave will be designated as FMLA-protected and the amount of leave counted against the employee's FMLA leave entitlement. If the Company determines that the leave is not FMLA-protected, the Company will notify the employee. Other Provisions. Under an exception to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the FMLA regulations, hourly amounts may be deducted for unpaid leave from the salary of executive, administrative, and professional employees; outside sales representatives; certain highly -skilled computer professionals; and certain highly compensated employees who are exempt from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA, without affecting the employee's exempt status. This special exception to the "salary basis" requirements for the FLSA's exemptions extends only to eligible employees' use of FMLA leave. Employees may not perform work for self-employment or for any other employer during an approved leave of absence, except when the leave is for military or public service or when the Company has approved the employment under its Outside Employment policy and the employee's reason for FMLA leave does not preclude the outside employment. Unlawful Acts by Employers. The FMLA makes it unlawful for any employer (1) to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of any right provided under the FMLA; or (2) to discharge or discriminate against any person for opposing any practice made unlawful by the FMLA or for involvement in any proceeding under or relating to the FMLA. Enforcement. An employee may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor or may bring a private lawsuit against an employer. The FMLA does not affect any federal or state law prohibiting discrimination or supersede any state or local law or collective bargaining agreement which provides greater family or medical leave rights. Military Leave Circle of Brotherhood supports the military obligations of all employees and grants leaves for uniformed service in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Any employee who needs time off for uniformed service should immediately notify the Human Resources department and his or her supervisor, who will provide details regarding the leave. If an employee is unable to provide notice before leaving for uniformed service, a family member should notify the supervisor as soon as possible. Upon return from military leave, employees will be granted the same seniority, pay, and benefits as if they had worked continuously. Failure to report for work within the prescribed time after completion of military service will be considered a voluntary termination. All employees who enter military service may accumulate a total absence of 5 years and still retain employment rights. Bereavement Leave Employees with more than 3 months' service may take up to 3 days of paid bereavement leave upon the death of a member of their immediate family. "Immediate family members" are defined as an employee's spouse, domestic partner, parents, stepparents, siblings, children, stepchildren, grandparent, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in- law, daughter-in-law, or grandchild. All regular, full-time employees may take up to one (1) day off with pay to attend the funeral of an extended family member (aunts, uncles, and cousins). The company may require verification of the need for the leave. The employee's supervisor and Human Resources will consider this time off on a case -by -case basis. Payment for bereavement leave is computed at the regular hourly rate to a maximum of 8 hours for 1 day. Time off granted in accordance with this policy shall not be credited astime worked for the purpose mfcomputing overtime, [NOTE:CHECK STATE AND LOCAL LAWS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REQU|REW1ENT5.] Jury Duty/Court Appearance The company supports employees in their civic duty to serve on a jury. Employees must present any summons to jury duty to their supervisor as soon as possible after receiving the notice to allow advance planning for anemployee's absence. Nonexempt employees will be paid for up to 2 weeks of jury duty service at their regular rate of pay minus any compensation received from the court for the period of service. Exempt employees are subject tothe same 2--week limitation except that they will also receive pay for any days they serve as a juror or witness in a workweek in which they actually perform work. All employees may use any accrued time off if required to serve more than 2 weeks on a jury. If an employee is released from jury duty after hours or less Vfservice, he or she must report to work for the remainder of that work day. Time for appearance in court for personal business will be the individual employee's responsibility. Normally, personal days or vacation days will be used for this purpose.

Eligibility, vesting, and all other matters relating to these plans are explained in the SPD that can be obtained from Human Resources. Workers' Compensation Workers' compensation is a "no-fault" system that provides compensation for medical expenses and wage losses to employees who are injured or who become ill because of employment. Circle of Brotherhood pays the entire cost of workers' compensation insurance. The insurance provides coverage for related medical and rehabilitation expenses and a portion of lost wages to employees who sustain an injury on the job. The company abides by all applicable state workers' compensation laws and regulations. If an employee sustains a job -related injury or illness, it is important to notify the supervisor and Human Resources immediately. The supervisor will complete an injury report with input from the employee and return the form to the Human Resources department. Human Resources will file the claim with the insurance company. In cases of true medical emergencies, report to the nearest emergency room. Workers' compensation benefits (paid or unpaid) will run concurrently with FMLA leave, if applicable, where permitted by state and federal law. In addition, employees will not be paid vacation or sick leave for approved absences covered by the company's workers' compensation program, except to supplement the workers' compensation benefits such as when the plan only covers a portion of the employee's salary as allowed by state law.

It is Communities United!" Safety, Health and Wellness Outreach Program Memorandum of Understanding WHO ARE WE? • Communities United, Inc. is committed to changing the safety, health and wellness of the disenfranchised, low- income, uneducated and disadvantaged communities living in the City of Miami. There is an urgency for a major paradigm shift in Florida's treatment of these citizens as we experience weather conditions of high rising seas and the threat of Category 5 hurricanes that can ultimately destroy residences that are structurally weak, run down (having been built prior to 1940) and not up to building codes. The growth spurt of high-rises need effective evacuation plans in the event of a natural disaster. CU has developed a strategic plan of action to make these changes become a reality by educating citizens to become resilient and self-sufficient when it comes to their safety, health and wellness making their homes safe and structurally sound. Weplan to collaborate with various local, state and charity organizations (i.e. The Table of Brotherhood) to assist the City of Miami residents with the resources of services and goods needed to aid in their long-term recovery. WHAT IS OUR PLATFORM? • CU will educate and train our targeted population through community engagement on how to access various resources to improve their quality of life. We will focus on programs that will provide resources to make their structurally deficient homes be brought up to code by installing hurricane windows and doors, shutters, roofs and handicap accessibility throughout the home making their residences resilient. • CU is committed to educating our vulnerable low-income population residents, homeowners, senior living facilities, building managers, community senior organizations, neighborhood associations, churches and government on the importance of disaster preparedness as well as aiding long-term recovery efforts to families. CU will provide disaster kits while educating residents in the City of Miami to empower and ensure their resilience in a State of Emergency? These citizens deserve to be protected and we strive to educate them to do things differently so their lives will be safe and secure. • Seniors First is our sustainable and anchor -like component that provides a comprehensive network of services and service providers to meet the needs of citizens before, during and following a major storm or other disaster in this initiative. Trained staff and volunteers will be deployed into the community to access their needs and connect them to county, city and other government agencies that can assist them to a speedy recovery. Information regarding sites for distribution, medical treatment, transportation, meals and financial resources where income has been affected will be provided. • Following the CDC guidelines for touchless contact, CU will use technology for teleconferencing such as Zoom, Microsoft Team, YouTube, website/webpage and radio distribution to serve as education training workshops with translation in Spanish, Creole and Sign Language that have become a valuable resource in these uncertain times.

[mom .rllry PIr.L'+,.i CIRCLE OF BROTHERHOOD BIOGRAPHY The Circle of Brotherhood is an organization of primarily Black men from all walks of life dedicated to community service, economic development, crime prevention, conflict resolution and mediation, educational services, and youth mentorship. Members of the Circle have dedicated their lives to collectively solving the social ills of our community. Organizational Experiences/Capabilities The mission of the Circle of Brotherhood (COB) is to involve Black Men in solving community problems and to help make our communities a decent place to live. We have primary focuses on youth development, crime prevention and economic sustainability. We believe that all men regardless of their past, current status, or station in life deserve an opportunity to contribute to the rebuilding of our communities and the edification of disenfranchised people. We strive to do this through a collective and collaborative manner. We are the foundation of our communities, the protectors and providers for our mothers, wives, children and family. When Black men take responsibility for filling the destructive void left by our absence in our blighted neighborhoods; we will see prosperous communities and healthy thriving citizens. The Circle of Brotherhood (COB) is comprised of founding members, an executive team, governing officers, and a general membership body. The founding members formulated the organization in 2013 based upon a call to action for unity and collaboration, to address the manifold issues related to increased violence in Miami's fifth district. Our service and influence now spans throughout South Florida. We are primarily Black men from all walks of life; community based, family oriented, professional and civic minded (from the streets to the suites). The executive membership serves as an inner circle of trained participants whose sole purpose is to properly represent our principles and to be the standard of integrity for new members. The governing officers; President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, volunteer as our legal arm for business and social affairs. Our general membership is recruited by COB members who meet men who are committed to playing an active role in solving our community problems. We live and work in the neighborhoods we serve. All members participate on standing committees based upon expertise and interest. Our committees are economics, youth development, community service, civic affairs, violence prevention, recreation/family affairs, and community health and wellness. We have a lead organizer that keeps us consistently engaged in the community. The key to our success as an organization stems from an expertise driven approach toward all of our projects and endeavors (He who knows best leads) and a "No big I's and little you's" underpinning. Scope of Services: Workshops & Conferences, Retreats & Seminars, Training & Consultation, Career & Transitional Counseling, Student Services, Leadership Development & Life Skills Training, Juvenile Services, Community Based Programs, Employment Services, School Based Programs Response and Proposal Socio-Epidemiological Study of the Cycle of Violence and Poverty and The Application of Best Practices in Human and Community Transformation Initiatives Abstract: Circular patterns of poverty, crime, violence, and educational failures in urban communities across America and designated zones in Miami Dade that have been plagued by crime, poverty and poor education have seen in most cases; no long term investment in sustainable proven initiatives that cover all areas of community development. Too many quick fix and clean up or move out campaigns are launched where the appearance of improvement last for a little while and the status quo returns. There is the need for an official declaration of a State of Emergency in Miami Dade; concerning quality of life issues in zip codes designated as the most prone to violence against children and a comprehensive plan of action to be developed, funded, implemented and sustained. The Anatomy of Violence: A proper view of the anatomy of violence forces us to look at societal norms and violent tendencies that have become a part of the social fabric of American culture and address it from its' root rather than waving punitive measures (coping mechanisms) as an end all be all approach. Until initiatives attack the mindset that produces violence; thoughts of worthlessness/decreased human value, and non -productive living... violence will remain as a pervasive response to oppression; which at its' root stems from the lack of governmental and educational objectives that lead toward personal and social introspection and empowerment; which in turn leads to the discovery of one's aim and purpose for self and community versus destruction as a way of life. Ignorance as a Cancer to Proper Communication: While there is a small percentage of citizenry who need services and information for better living who are apathetic toward available resources, the overwhelming majority of Miami Dade citizens residing in zip codes targeted as the most prone to violence, are in need of awareness and the proper linkage to processes that lend access to services and resources that they qualify for. We cannot continue to rely on traditional mediums of connecting people to services; outside of a hands on- community based approach; by those who live in the designated areas for community redevelopment and intervention. Institutional Myopia: There will never be sustainable community development, where the institutions that service the same populations, are disconnected and /or whose focus or respect for services outside of their own, does not extend beyond the institution centered model; into a community and person centered one. A top down governmental or institutional bureaucratic approach reinforces the myopic view of the values of those directly affected by violence and excludes community based institutions with proven solutions to violence against children as a core part of the coalition. Solution: (Human Transformation) This involves the implementation of training modules that cause a paradigm shift in the thinking, psychology, and awareness of one's worth, value, and role as it relates to personal development and respect for human life. This paradigm shift holds perpetual self-improvement at the core of its practice. We desire to bring the best human and youth development practices that exist in Miami Dade County's targeted zones. This initiative goes beyond identifying best practices and moves toward commitment from proven practitioners and what it will take to implement them on the neighborhood level. With this approach, we may not find ourselves again having to circle around revolving quality of life issues versus evolving people who are moving toward the goal of human excellence in every field or endeavor.

Gimenez, CareerSource South Florida, Neighbors and Neighbors Association (NANA) and Circle of Brotherhood have partnered to offer construction, hospitality, culinary, private security and information technology trainings to help put eligible Miami -Dade County residents back to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQMJvGWcMU4 Circle of Brotherhood partnership includes the 4-week Work Readiness program. We have developed a coordinated a care system for chronically challenged populations: basic skills deficiency, lack of secondary education credential, history of substance abuse, homelessness, and not maintaining steady employment. Our 4-week work readiness training sets our program amongst the internationally elite in human transformation services. Participants must complete this 4-week transformative experience before entering their trade modules. Thousands of Miami -Dade residents have participated in our work readiness training experiences (2014-present) and gone on to gainful employment in construction, hospitality, security and culinary arts. They experience mental/emotional breakthroughs from their traumas in life, self- discovery, mending family relationships, a new approach to community, educational development, the removal of self- destructive (anti -employment) behaviors and a mental toughness approach to job training with tools to navigate life. It could be equally said that thousands also have not been able to sustain employment and navigation of life past the work readiness class; which makes this opportunity to provide after care and wrap around services invaluable to Miami Dade County residents underrepresented in the employment arena. Personnel and resources to support our clients after their work readiness training and initial placements would be ideal. Aftercare Services through Job Placement This would allow us to guide, monitor, and develop graduates with an A to Z approach (From work readiness participant to Miami Dade Employee). All training graduates who are in work search mode will continue to be engaged until employed. Ajob placement specialist along with work readiness facilitators will provide specialized training modules that represent both the needs of prospective employers and the specific needs of our clients.

Case management duties are then handled by the Facilitator and then Job Coach after the participant secures "My top priority as Mayor of Miami -Dade County is the safety and security of our 2.7 million residents and the millions who visit our community each year.

As a result, 1 have directed my administration to develop strategies to combat the criminal activity." -Miami Dade County Mayor Gimenez an unsubsidized job placement. Once the participant is in an unsubsidized job, the responsibility returns to the Employment Specialist to monitor retention. Work -Readiness The Honorable Miami -Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez has launched an initiative that will provide training and employment opportunities for Miami -Dade County residents. The intent of this initiative is to strengthen the economic development of the community by educating and providing employment to unemployed residents: These collaborative efforts have yielded proposed enhancements to the County's services to help mitigate youth violence. The intent is to prioritize these programs and direct available resources to immediately implement solutions to keep our children safe. We need to continue to work together as a community to create a safer Miami -Dade for our children and for future generations. It takes all of us to protect all of us. The Employ Miami Dade project focuses on the targeted industry sectors of the One Community One Goal strategic plan, where employment growth is essential to making this project a success. The goal is to increase employment that will help the residents become self-sufficient in Miami -Dade County. Led by commitments secured by Mayor Gimenez from the business arena to invest in Miami Dade residents. Employ Miami Dade works as an ecosystem networking training and employment services with education and industry so that residents in Miami Dade have first options on jobs thus far in five different fields; construction, hospitality, culinary arts, information technology and security. This partnership is an example of how a city can come together and maximize resources allocated for job training and economic growth with the best of results for human transformation and business resource development. Participants in our work readiness training experience mental/emotional breakthroughs from their traumas in life, self-discovery, mending family relationships, a new approach to community, educational development, the removal of self-destructive (anti -employment) behaviors and a mental toughness approach to job training and life. • Quality of Life Benefits from Work Readiness Class: 2015-2017 Drug testing rates: 96% of our graduates who enter work readiness with substance abuse issues test negative at the end of work readiness 4 weeks • Continuing education - several dozen students have gone to complete their High School Equivalency exams, enroll in second language classes, and complete secondary degrees Apprenticeships - Many students have been accepted into construction trades apprenticeships • Crime reduction - 98% of program participants when surveyed said they have noticed a reduction in crime and violence in their communities and personal lives that they directly attribute to the work readiness training and Employ Miami Dade • Parenting /Family Relations- 100% of work readiness participants who are parents have improved relations and behavior in domestic affairs with children and family household members • Financial Literacy - 85% of participants have supported community banking via opening accounts and using financial literacy training and banking institutions in their neighborhoods • Recidivism- 97% of participants with criminal backgrounds have remained out of the penal and parole systems... 95% of parole officers servicing participants have noted exceptional improvement in their client's character and life skills since being in work readiness class. • Homelessness - 80 % of participants who entered the program homeless or in a shelter have secured employment and a residence Outcome Categories Employ Miami Dade (ED) Target Outcomes Performance Outcomes # of Miami -Dade Residents Indicating Interest in ED 4,404 # of Miami -Dade Residents Completing ED Registration 4.085 # of ED participants in Work Readiness 410 % of ED participants completed Work Readiness 70% 89.02% # of ED participants in Training 734 % of ED participants completed Training 70% 65.53% # of ED participants referred to a job 913 # of ED participants placed into a job 607 Enter Employment Rate 70% 66.48% Cost Per Placement $1,915.58 Average Wage $9.96 Total Employed Miami -Dade Investment $1,162,759.97 Net Economic Benefit to the Community $18,793.01 Return -On -Investment $9.81 Economic Impact to the Community $11,407,356.76 6-Month Retention 65% 12-Month Retention 67% Annual Budget Parameters: Employ- Miami Dade $2.2 million • $3,600 per participant • 600 participants • Aftercare services • 4 month Work Readiness $440,000 • 600 participants • 2 facilitators - $6,800 per class • Stipends provided $600 per participant (1 month) 1.

The Peacemakers of MCI was also funded by the United States Attorney's Office under the 2014 Denise Moon Grant. Peacemakers function as a non -armed community safety and response team and provide community peace keeping services while working with the local police department. They will serve as role models for youth, model good citizenship practices for the community, and assist the community residents with reporting crime, dissolve gang warfare, offer conflict resolution, participate in neighborhood sanitation and health related campaigns that exist or arise; conduct door to door canvassing and office data collection; and host educational and recreational activities for youth. Peace Service Workers hired from the neighborhood will serve as the initial point of community contact for residents, responsible for relaying information to the Peacemakers regarding community health and safety issues, and resident referrals for assistance for barrier removal and personal development. They also assist with door to door canvassing and office data collection. "A no -bid contract to administer the program passed a commission committee this week. The contract pays a corporation established by the county's longtime anti -gang consultant, Wayne Rawlins, about $1.7 million a year to oversee the John Jay program and other unrelated efforts, such as reading programs for daycare centers and outreach efforts to low-income neighborhoods needing county services. The bulk of the money for Rawlins' Ummah Futures is set to be paid out to nonprofits involved in the John Jay program, including the Circle of Brotherhood."

From 2016 to 2020, Miami experienced a 13°%o increase in homicides from the 2019 year prior and a 45% increase from 2016. In 2020, there was an epidemic level of shooting incidents in Miami and surrounding areas, which rose to 659, with gun homicides rising to 96. The Circle of Brotherhood (COB) will utilize this grant opportunity to build the framework for long-term sustainability and change. The community violence work has become a collaborative effort through community input and researcher evaluation. The COB will utilize this grant to build and expand current CVI programs. The CVI team will liaise with prevention and intervention programs to provide boots -on -the -ground outreach. We intend to meet these priority requirements through mentoring and case management modeling, and community interventionists to engage community members at risk of becoming either victims or perpetrators of violence. Everytown Community Safety Fund, part of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, announced $100,000 in funding for Circle of Brotherhood in Miami to sustain their work and better position them to access federal funding. The grant comes as part of Everytown Community Safety Fund's $1.5 million in new Support Grants going to 15 organizations in cities across the country. With persistent gun violence continuing to impact cities nationwide, community -based violence intervention programs like Circle of Brotherhood will play a crucial role in addressing the country's gun violence crisis. With this new grant, the Everytown Community Safety Fund is extending an immediate and flexible lifeline to community -based violence intervention programs to ensure their continuity as they scale their efforts to meet the urgent need in their communities and better position them for success when applying for local, state, and federal support at a time when many of these programs have been stretched far past capacity. "Our team has continued working in service of the Miami community throughout these challenging years, and our efforts are needed now more than ever, " said Bro. Lyle Muhammad, executive director of Circle of Brotherhood. "This grant from Everytown will allow us to deepen our engagement with the young men who are most at risk of shooting or being shot as we work to build prosperous communities." "Gun violence continues to take the lives of so many of our loved ones in communities across the country — further underscoring the importance of the work of organizations like Circle of Brotherhood," said Miami -Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. "Everytown's grant will ensure that their work can continue to provide life-saving frontline services to communities across our county." "Investing in community -based solutions to gun violence in the state of Florida is more urgent now than ever," said Marcus McAllister, violence prevention consultant at McAllister Consultancy & Training LLC. "Local violence intervention programs are entrenched in the communities that experience the most gun violence and need support now." "Our cities are in the midst of a gun violence public health crisis. Fortunately, community - based violence intervention groups are on the frontlines doing life-saving work every day. Everytown is uniquely positioned to support their mission, so we will continue to do so in every way we can," said Michael -Sean Spence, senior director of Community Safety Initiatives at Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund and creator of the Everytown Community Safety Fund. "With this investment, the Everytown Community Safety Fund will provide critical resources to programs accomplishing important work in their communities across the country and help them sustain their life-saving efforts." Since 2019, the Everytown Community Safety Fund (The Fund), the largest national initiative solely dedicated to fueling the life-saving work of community -based violence intervention programs in cities nationwide, has granted $7.15 million in support of 72 community -based violence intervention organizations implementing promising strategies, like street outreach, hospital -based violence interventions and youth development & counseling, in more than 57 American cities. Support Grants, currently the Fund's largest grant offering, provides grant recipients $100,000, in two disbursements over two years, as well as access to the Fund's quarterly calls, peer convenings, capacity -building trainers, national conferences, as well as advocacy support from Everytown staff, Moms Demand Action volunteers and national partners.
