               Any  illegal  drugs,  narcotics  or  drug  paraphernalia  will  be  turned  over  to  an  appropriate  law
               enforcement agency.

               Required Drug Testing: Mission retains the right to require the following tests:

                   ➢  Pre-employment: All applicants must pass a drug test before commencing employment
                       with  Mission.  Refusal  to  submit  to  testing  will  result  in  disqualification  of  further
                       employment consideration.

                   ➢  Reasonable  suspicion:  Employees  are  subject  to  testing  based  on  observations  by  a
                       supervisor/manager of apparent workplace use, possession or impairment. If an employee
                       is demonstrating an unusual pattern of behavior, supervisors/managers should immediately
                       report this observation to the head of the People Operations or his/her designee.   The head
                       of the People Operations or his/her designee will determine whether the employee should
                       be examined by a physician or a clinic and/or tested for drugs, alcohol and/or narcotics.
                       Employees believed to be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or narcotics should not be
                       allowed to work. Employees should make arrangements for their safe transit to and from
                       work and any testing facility.

                              Note:  Employees  working  in  the  Distribution  area  of  Mission’s  manufacturing
                              facility are required to take a drug test on a minimum of five (5) year intervals or
                              as required to meet regulatory requirements.

                   ➢  Post-accident:  Whenever  an  on-the-job  accident  occurs  that  causes  an  injury  needing
                       medical  attention  and/or  damage  to  property,  all  employees  whose  conduct  did  or
                       reasonably could have caused or contributed to such accident will be subject to drug testing.
