It is the policy of Mission to comply with the salary basis requirements of the FLSA for exempt
               employees. If an employee believes that an improper deduction has been made to his/her salary,
               then such employee should immediately report this information to his/her supervisor/manager or
               to the Payroll Representative.

               EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

               The  Employee  Development  Program  is  conducted  on  an  annual  basis  for  all  office  and
               manufacturing employees of Mission. Employees hired within six (6) months of the employee
               development period are typically not eligible for review until the following year.  The Employee
               Development  Program  will  be  discussed  with  employees.    Both  the  employee  and  the
               supervisor/manager will electronically sign the Employee Development Program form to ensure
               that the employee strengths, areas for improvement and job goals for the next review period have
               been clearly communicated. To ensure consistency, electronic employee development forms are
               generally reviewed by the People Operations Department and will be retained in the employee’s
               electronic personnel file.

               COMPETENCY BASED PROGRAM


               The Competency Based Program is conducted twice a year (mid-year and end of year) for all sales
               employees.  Employees  hired  within  six  (6)  months  of  the  Competency  Based  Program  are
               typically not eligible for review until the following year.  The Competency Based Program will be
               discussed with employees. Both the employee and the supervisor/manager will electronically sign
               the Competency Based Program form to ensure that the employee job GOST (Goals, Objectives,
               Strategies  and  Tactics)  for  the  next  review  period  have  been  clearly  communicated  to  the
               employee.  To  ensure  consistency,  electronic  Competency  Based  Program  forms  are  generally
               reviewed by the People Operations Department and will be retained in the employee’s electronic
               personnel file.

               The procedures discussed in this policy are only guidelines. Mission may, in its sole discretion,
               modify or revoke them in whole or in part at any time. Therefore, these procedures are not a
               promise or contract, expressed or implied, and Mission retains the right to determine whether and
               how they will be applied, depending on the circumstances.

               Salary Increases: Merit increases are based on company performance and financials and are not
               guaranteed. A review does not always result in an automatic salary increase. When plausible, the
               employee’s  overall  performance,  salary  level  relative  to  his/her  position  responsibilities  and
               market reference are used to determine if a salary increase would be warranted.

               The material produced by the Employee Development Program or the Competency Based Program
               are generally reviewed by the head of the People Operations Department and his/her designee to
               ensure consistency.
