               ARBITRATION

               As a condition of employment, all eligible employment related disputes between the employee and
               Mission shall be resolved through binding arbitration. This means that the employee and Mission
               are waiving the right to sue one another before a jury or in a court of law. Instead, by mutual
               selection,  an  arbitrator  who  is  registered  with  the  American  Arbitration  Association  will  be
               appointed to render the final and binding decision.

               As  a  condition  of  employment,  all  employees  are  required  to  sign  the  Mission  Arbitration
               Agreement. A separate written Arbitration Agreement will be forwarded to an employee for review
               and  signature.  However,  nothing  in  this  paragraph  alters  the  employment  at-will  relationship
               between an employee and Mission. For more information, please contact the head of the People
               Operations or his/her designee.

               SERIOUS DISEASES

               Employees with infectious, long-term, life-threatening or other serious diseases or illnesses may
               work as long as they are able to perform the duties of their job without undue risk to their own
               health or the health  of  other employees,  customers or members of  the public. Employees  are
               required to cooperate with supervisors/managers and the People Operations Department’s request
               for information. Likewise, employees concerned about being infected with a serious disease or
               illness  by  a  co-worker,  customer  or  other  individuals  should  convey  this  concern  to  their
               supervisor/manager or the head of the People Operations or his/her designee.

               Employees afflicted with a serious disease or illness will be treated no differently than any other
               employees. Therefore, if the serious disease or illness adversely affects their ability to perform
               assigned duties, those employees will be treated like any other employees who have performance
               related issues.

               Mission  will  comply  with  applicable  occupational  safety  regulations  concerning  employees
               exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials. Universal precautions, engineering and
               work practice controls and personal protective equipment should be used where appropriate to
               limit the spread of diseases in the workplace.
