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.

               EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT AND TRAVEL

               This  policy explains the  procedures  for expense reimbursement  and travel  and  is  designed to
               accomplish the following:

                   ➢  Ensure that employees have a clear and consistent understanding of policies and procedures
                       for reimbursement of business-related expenses.
                   ➢  Ensure that employees are reimbursed for legitimate and properly documented business-
                       related expenses.
                   ➢  Provide employees who must travel with a reasonable level of service and comfort at the
                       lowest possible cost.
                   ➢  Maximize  Mission’s  ability  to  negotiate  discounted  rates  with  preferred  suppliers  and
                       reduce travel expenses.
                   ➢  Provide the appropriate level of accounting and business controls for Mission to ensure
                       that expenses are reviewed and approved by the appropriate person.
                   ➢  All consultants, vendors, suppliers and other similar persons and entities must adhere to
                       this policy as if they are employees.

               In order to receive reimbursement for any expenses incurred on Mission’s behalf, employees must
               follow  the  guidelines  outlined  in  the  Expense  Reimbursement  and  Travel  policy.  All
               reimbursements must be for actual expenses and not to create additional compensation. To view
               the full version of this policy, please visit the Expense Reimbursement and Travel Policy on the
               HRIS.

               VEHICLE USAGE


               Only authorized personnel may operate Mission vehicles. Prior to driving the vehicles for Mission
               business, employees must obtain approval from their supervisor/manager and ensure that their
               names are on the vehicle insurance list.  Failure to be on the Mission vehicle insurance list means
               that an employee is an unauthorized user of the Mission vehicle.  Unauthorized, careless or reckless
               use  of  a  Mission  vehicle  may  result  in  corrective  action,  up  to  and  including  termination  of
               employment.

               An employee whose job requires regular driving for business as a condition of employment must
               be able to meet the driver approval standards of this policy and Mission’s insurance requirements
               at all times. Employees must exercise due diligence to drive safely, follow all traffic laws
