ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCI) Report No. 060060300-001, Rev. 0
AVOIDANCE PLAN May 2009

1.0 INTRODUCTION

NASA levied requirements on ARES Corporation contract NNCO6BAO4B to ensure that Sensitive
Information (SI) is safeguarded, that any potential conflicts of interest are mitigated and that sensitive
information is not disclosed beyond those with the need to know. In the course of executing the
referenced contract Statement of Work (SOW), the ARES Corporation Team (including employees,
Consultants, and Subcontractors) may have access to sensitive information.

The ARES Team and each of its employees are committed to comply fully with the requirements set
forth in NASA FAR Supplement 1852.237-72 regarding Sensitive Information for all work the ARES
Team performs for the federal government and other clients. This plan calls out processes and controls
to enable effective OCI management.

Sensitive Information refers to information that a contractor has developed at private expense, (i.e.,
competition protected information, confidential business information, limited rights data and restricted
rights computer software). Sensitive Information also includes Government Sensitive Information
which the contractor is required to protect from unauthorized use and disclosure under the contract RFP.

It is the goal of ARES Corporation to avoid even the appearance of an Organizational Conflict of
Interest (OCI).

11 Purpose

This Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Avoidance Plan is required by NFS 1852.237-72, Access
to Sensitive Information. Accordingly, this Plan documents our overall approach to ensure that the
ARES Corporation Team, supporting the NASA contract referenced above, fully safeguards sensitive
information. Where access to sensitive information has the potential to create a conflict of interest, this
Plan documents our approach to mitigate that potential conflict of interest.

1.2 Scope

This OCI Plan applies to all ARES Corporation Team members (employees, Consultants, and
Subcontractors) that are given access to sensitive information and are working on the referenced NASA
contract. This is the only avoidance plan for this contract. This Plan is maintained by the ARES
Corporation Program Manager (PM) and a copy of this Plan is to be provided to the customer point of
contact as requested. During the performance of this contract, each potential conflict of interest will be
addressed with a Specific OCI Plan.

AVOIDANCE PLAN May 2009

3.4 Consultants and Subcontractors

Consultants and Subcontractors have the responsibility to inform ARES Corporation of a need to access
sensitive information. This request may also come from NASA, but this does not relieve the
Consultants and Subcontractors from informing ARES as well.

The Consultants and Subcontractors must inform ARES of any potential conflicts of interest that may
arise as a result of their access to sensitive information. If such potential conflict of interest exists, a
Specific OCI Plan to avoid the potential conflict of interest and to safeguard the sensitive information
must be submitted to ARES for review and approval. See section 4.2.

4.9 ~~ PROCEDURE

4.1 Access to Sensitive Information

Client proprietary or Business Sensitive Information shall be provided only to persons that have a need-
to-know about the particular subject matter and may only be made available to authorized individuals.
Each member of the ARES Team who is granted access to proprietary information shall take reasonable
and prudent steps to ensure that it is protected from unauthorized dissemination.

Transmission shall be by means to preclude unauthorized disclosure of dissemination. Telephone
discussions shall be in a manner that only those individuals who need-to-know can hear the
conversation. When using a fax to transmit information, ensure that the receiving party is aware of the
transmission so that they can be ready to receive and pick up the material. The fax cover sheet shall
contain a statement that the transmission is “[Project Name] proprietary.”

Information may be produced, processed or stored on automated data processing systems (e.g.,
computers, servers, memory sticks) only if proper precautions are taken to ensure that only those with a

need-to-know authority can access it.

The ARES Team shall meet any Client-specific requirements for maintaining the Project information
proprietary data.

4.2 Potential Conflict of Interest

When a new potential exists for a conflict of interest due to access to sensitive information, a written
Specific OCI Pian (specific to the new potential OCI) must be submitted to the Contracting Officer and
the PM for the referenced contract within 10 calendar days. The Specific OCI Plan must be signed by
the appropriate management (ARES or Subcontractor) and will be maintained with the PM for the
duration of the access and until the end of the contract. The Specific OCI Plan must identify the kind of
information to be accessed, the potential for conflict of interest, and the plan to mitigate that conflict.
The Specific OCI Plan can be brief, but must address how the access will be limited and what firewalls
will be put in place to ensure that the potential conflict of interest is negated. For example, a company
may agree to not compete against another company on work that involves the sensitive information.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 NASA

The NASA Contracting Officer will approve this Plan and maintain a copy.

3.2. ARES Corporation

ARES Corporation (ARES) is the prime contractor on the Process Based Mission Assurance (PBMA)
contract referenced above, and as such, is responsible for ensuring that this Plan is maintained and
implemented. It is required that the substance of NFS 1852.237-72 be included in lower-tier agreements
with Consultants and Subcontractors that may involve access to sensitive information for the referenced

contract.

If ARES employees perform work that necessitates access to sensitive information, and poses a potential
conflict of interest, ARES is responsible for generating a Specific OCI Plan to avoid that specific
potential conflict of interest and to safeguard the sensitive information. See section 4.2.

The ARES Program Manager (PM) will review, approve, and maintain any Specific OCI Plans, whether
they are generated by ARES, a Subcontractor, or a Consultant.

ARES will maintain records of training on the requirements and this Plan whether they are generated by
ARES, Consultants, or a Subcontractor.

3.3. ARES Team Members

This Plan applies to all ARES Team members (employees, Consultants, and Subcontractors) working on
the referenced contract. ARES Team Members are responsible for communicating the need for access
to sensitive information to their management. Team Members must complete training on the
requirements for handling sensitive information and sign the form, “Contractor Access to Sensitive
Information — Training Verification,” located in Appendix A of this Plan prior to the access. Team
Members must comply with this Plan, the NFS requirements, and the training they receive. They are not
to release or repeat the information they access to anyone who does not have the need to know and has
not received the training. They are not to use the information for any other purpose than the intent of the
subject access. They are not to use it for personal or corporate advantage beyond supporting the NASA
Agency mission which initiated the access.

OCI ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENT FOR THE PROCESS BASED MISSION
ASSURANCE (PBMA) CONTRACT

In connection with my efforts on the Process Based Mission Assurance (PBMA) Contract, I am
executing this Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Acknowledgement Statement in consideration
that I may have access to information which is considered by the Government or others to be Sensitive
Information (SI), as defined in the OCI Avoidance Plan (Plan). I have been provided with a copy of the
Plan and understand that execution of this Statement is mandatory for all employees with access to SI.

I affirm and agree that during my employment or relationship with ARES Corporation (ARES) as an
employee or an employee of a subcontractor to ARES or subsequent thereto, I will not use, publish or
otherwise disclose outside of the Contract any SI to which I may have access in connection with my
work on the Contract. I further agree to follow the requirements of the internal firewall that segregates
individuals and protects against the transfer of SI between those parts of the organization that work on
the Contract.

I accept personal responsibility to follow all policies relating to OCIs and to maintain impartiality, and
to provide unbiased advice and work to the Government, in performance of Contract activities. I
understand that an OCI could exist when an activity or relationship: (1) prevents an entity from
rendering impartial assistance or advice to the Government; (2) prevents an entity from being objective
in performing contract work, which could result in an impairment to that entity’s ability to perform the
work; or (3) provides an entity an unfair competitive advantage.

I understand that specific questions regarding OCI and the details of the Plan implementation should be
referred to my manager, or to the ARES Contracts Manager.

I certify that I am not aware of any information bearing on the existence of any potential OCI.

I understand the obligations I am undertaking continue beyond my assignment to the Contract and I
agree to continue to protect SI regardless of my personal employment status. I acknowledge that my
signature does not constitute a commitment on my part or on the part of ARES or its Team members for
continued employment or any specific job assignment while I am employed. I further agree that
execution of this Statement may restrict my employment in accordance with the Plan requirements.

I hereby acknowledge that I have received, read and agree to comply with the requirements of the Plan
for interests pertaining to the Contract.

Alternatively, a company may agree to not allow employees with access to pertinent sensitive
information to take part in such related competition. They could not help to develop, review or consult
on any related proposal effort. It is not sufficient to allow them to participate in a competition but to not
make use of the sensitive data.
