2.1 Reporting Confidentially
Actual or potential matters of misconduct or wrongdoing may be reported anonymously or on a confidential basis.
Anonymous allegations will be reviewed to the extent possible, given the opportunity to confirm such allegations
from other reliable sources. In the case of allegations made on a confidential basis, every effort will be made to keep
the identity of the reporting party secret during an internal review. E3 makes every effort to maintain confidentiality
to the greatest extent possible; however, disclosure may be necessary in some cases to conduct an effective internal
review and to pursue further action, as prudent and necessary.

E3 will not discuss allegations with anyone other than those who have a legitimate need to know. It is important to
protect the rights of any persons accused, to avoid damaging their reputation should they be found innocent, and
to protect the organization from potential unfounded reputational or other damage or liability.

Internal Reviews and External Reporting Procedures
Internal reviews of actual, potential, or the appearance of misconduct will be conducted via the E3 Human Resources
Director in concert with an executive team, as identified on a per internal review basis, as needed. All reports will
be treated seriously.

Required reporting to the requisite agency Office of Inspector General and Government Contracting Officer,
pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations Clause 52.203-13, Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, will
be conducted by E3’s Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer or their express designee. This will be done
on a case-by-case basis in a timely manner when E3 has “credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, or
subcontractor has committed a violation of Federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or
gratuity violations found in Title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the civil False Claims Act.”

2.2 External Investigation Procedures
Should an E3 employee be contacted by Government auditors or investigators, the E3 employee shall first notify the
E3 Ethics and Compliance Officer, who is E3’s Human Resources Director, immediately through email at
compliance@e3federal.com. It is always important to respond truthfully and accurately to Government auditors or
investigators. It is the policy of E3 to fully cooperate with Government auditors and investigators by providing timely
and complete responses to requests for documents, access to information, and interviews.
