POLICY 204

WORKPLACE EXPECTATIONS

CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS

At Mission, internal business affairs of the organization, particularly confidential information,
inventions, intellectual property, and trade secrets, represent Mission assets that each employee
has a continuing obligation to protect during his/her employment and any time thereafter. In
addition, Mission’s clients, and other parties with whom Mission conducts business entrust
Mission with important information relating to their business. It is Mission’s policy that all such
information is considered confidential and proprietary and it will not be disclosed to external
parties or to employees without a “need to know” basis. If an employee questions whether certain
information is considered confidential and proprietary, he/she should first check with his/her
immediate supervisor/manager.

This policy is intended to alert employees to the need for discretion at all times and is not intended
to impede normal business communications and relationships. Nothing in this policy is meant to,
nor should be interpreted to, in any way limit an employee’s rights under any applicable federal,
state or local laws, including an employee’s rights under the National Labor Relations Act to
engage in protected concerted activities with other employees to improve terms and conditions of
employment, such as wages and benefits.

Media Related Inquiries
Mission strives to anticipate and effectively manage all types of Mission-related issues in an effort
to minimize disruption to its employees and Mission’s day-to-day business operations. Mission is
committed to responding to the media and others in a timely and professional manner. This is best
accomplished through a designated spokesperson speaking on behalf of Mission. Please refer all
inquiries to the head of Marketing who will manage this process.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A conflict of interest occurs when an employee’s personal interest, or that of the employee’s
immediate family member, interferes or appears to interfere with an employee’s ability to make
sound business decisions on behalf of Mission. Employees must avoid any relationship or activity
that might impair, or even appear to impair, their ability to make objective and fair decisions when
performing their job duties. At times, an employee may be faced with situations in which business
actions taken on behalf of Mission may conflict, or appear to conflict, with the employee’s own
personal interests. Mission property or information of business opportunities may not be used for
