force and effect for the duration of the assignment, including any extensions, except in the instance of just/authorized cause
for termination.

Employee is aware that the Assignment Location may be a potentially hazardous environment. Although the U.S.

constitutes acceptance and acknowledgment of the risks and the willingness to stay in the Assignment Location until directed
by the Employer to evacuate.

2. Compensation

Employee’s individual compensation is identified on the Data Sheet below, based upon individual job position and including
the thirteenth month salary. The Project Manager must approve any job position or rate adjustment(s) in writing, and any
changes in job position or salary are only effective on the date indicated on the formal Personnel Action Notice (PAN). No
rate increase will be awarded unless there is adequate justification to support it.

Employee will be paid a Base Monthly Salary as specified in the Employee Data Sheet on the basis of a minimum 40-hour
workweek. There is no guarantee of more than 40 hours of work per week. All rate adjustments will be effective at the
beginning of pay period. For purposes of calculating the hourly rate for straight time pay, the following formula is used:

Base Salary per month x 12 months = Straight Time Rate per Hour
2080 hours

Each pay period, employee will be paid by applying the amount earned, after deducting mandatory tax withholdings,
authorized employee benefit charges, and any advances, reserves, or other obligations to Employer. Employee’s pay will be
sent to the location designated on the Employee’s Electronic Funds Transfer form. Payments shall be made on a monthly
basis with the pay ending date on Saturday of each pay period. Wage payments shall be subject to deductions required by
law, deductions provided for in this Agreement and such deductions as employee from time to time may authorize in writing.

In the event employee is taken and held prisoner, hostage or otherwise detained by a hostile force or the force of any power
not allied with the United States while on foreign assignment, Employer will continue to pay Employee’s Base Salary at the
straight time rate per hour being paid on the date of capture and/or detention. The number of hours per day employee will be
paid will be the average number of hours per day over the two months immediately preceding detention. Compensation
benefits will continue for the period of detention or internment and will be paid to employee’s authorized party. Additionally,
Employer is authorized to continue to process employee’s contribution for insurance as established by employee prior to the
period of detention or internment. Such contribution will be deducted from employee’s compensation benefits prior to

effect throughout the period of detention or internment.

3. Taxes

Employee is responsible for compliance with applicable home country tax laws and regulations, including but not limited to,
the payment of income taxes and social security and/ or social insurance contributions (collectively “Tax”). Notwithstanding,
the employee consents to Employer retaining the ability and hereby grants Employer the right to apply Tax withholding and
remittance procedures if and when legally required and/or prescribed by employee’s home country taxing authorities or if the
Employer determines it is in the best interest of the Employer.

Foreign Tax/Social Insurance Protection

Foreign Tax/Social Insurance Protection approximates the additional cost incurred by employee due to assignment in a
foreign country. It is currently anticipated that the Client will obtain an exemption or waiver of foreign taxes and social
insurance obligations on employee’s behalf. Should the Client fail to achieve the exemption or waiver, Employer will pay
the foreign taxes and/or other host country statutory obligations on employee’s behalf and seek reimbursement from the U.S.
Government in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 31.205-6(e). Employee will be responsible for completing
and/or signing all necessary paperwork associated with the foreign taxes and/or other host country statutory obligations.

earned. Partial months of completed service will not be prorated. The maximum allowable accumulation is 32 hours within
any 12-month period. Approval of sick leave requires documentation from a certified medical professional. Sick leave
benefits will be paid at 8 hours straight time per day. No payment will be made for unused sick leave, nor may sick leave
accruals be used retroactively. Sick Leave is only applicable when employee is In Theater and may not be combined with
Vacation Leave and/or Leave with Out Pay (LWOP) when the LWOP is taken away from the Work Assignment location.

Project holiday schedules will be set by Employer. Employee will be paid 8 hours straight time for any authorized holidays
observed and not worked. Any approved project holidays that are worked will be paid at straight time. Employee must be in
Country at Assignment Location to observe the holiday. Because of operational requirements to provide continued support to
the Client, it may not be feasible for all employees to observe local holidays concurrently; therefore, holidays may be taken
two weeks on either side of the actual day, or longer with Project Manager written approval. Holidays cannot be combined
with Vacation Leave; however, with advance Project Manager approval, if employee is In Country at Assignment Location to
observe a holiday, employee may combine the holiday with Leave Without Pay following the holiday. (In other words, the
employee wakes up in Country on the holiday, but travels later that day and goes on leave without pay as authorized in
advance by the Project Manager). Where two holidays fall within the four-week time frame window, an employee may
combine the two days if at the location assignment subject to approval of the Project manager.

mobilization travel time, generally not to exceed two 8-hour days at Base Salary. During demobilization, employee will be
paid travel time, generally not to exceed two 8-hour days at Base Salary. Demobilization flights are those flown subsequent

flights must be on a U.S. Flag Air Carrier unless the exceptions identified in the regulation are met and properly documented.

employee travel and other expenses provided by Employer will be payable. Point of Origin may not change during the term
of employment under this Agreement. Standby time associated mobilization and demobilization is allowed only if the
approved departure point is difficult to reach due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances (e.g. MILAIR
flight availability). Standby time must be authorized by the Project Manager and must not exceed 8 hours per day.

Travel expenses other than air transportation will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the Project Manager. Shipment of
excess baggage of personal items is a personal expense and will not be reimbursed.

Employer will provide transportation and housing at the Assignment Location. Meals and/or meal facilities (e.g. Dining
Facilities or DFAC, MREs, Meal Plan, etc.) will be provided. Laundry facilities will also be provided.

8. Vacation Leave

Vacation Leave is time away from the project during the assignment period due to hardships, lack of amenities and cultural
disorientation in the Assignment Location. The purpose of Vacation leave is to provide rest and relaxation (R&R) from the
work environment, thus maintaining operational effectiveness and optimum performance; therefore, Vacation Leave is
expected to be taken but, is subject to project schedules and requires approval from the supervisor and the Project Manager.
Vacation Leave will not be approved unless the job assignment is expected to last for a period of at least 30 days beyond the
qualification date.

Employees will earn 21 calendar days of Vacation Leave after each year of service, including travel days, paid at 8 hours
base salary rate per day. Employees will be able to use accumulated Vacation Leave after the first 12 months of employment.
Unused Vacation Leave days cannot be carried over into the following year nor will be paid in lieu. No more than 21 paid
days can be taken at one time.

The Employer will provide one (1) roundtrip airfare from approved departure point to the Point of Origin after each one (1)
year at site. Any additional airfare associated with Vacation Leave will be at the employee’s cost. Vacation Leave must be
scheduled and approved by the Project Manager.

Vacation Leave starts the date of departure from the approved departure point and includes travel time from and return to the
approved departure point. Transportation will be provided to and from the approved departure point. Payment for Vacation
Leave will only be made for days actually taken; therefore, payment will occur only after the Vacation Leave is completed.

Standby time associated with Vacation Leave is allowed only if the approved departure point is difficult to reach due to
weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances (e.g. MILAIR flight availability). Standby time must be authorized by
the Project Manager and must not exceed 8 hours per day.

3
Where the Employer is required to change employee’s scheduled leave due to circumstances stemming from U.S.
Government actions and/or actions beyond the control of the U.S. Government (e.g. Military Flight schedule changes or
restrictions, lack of government provided force protection delaying convoy travel, civil unrest or terrorist activity prohibiting
travel, critical unforeseen mission support requirements, etc.), the Employer shall pay for the costs associated with the change
in ticket fares, to include cost of fees for the changed schedule that resulted from the type of activities described above.

9. Emergency Leave

Emergency leave may be granted in the event of a serious health condition or death in employee’s immediate family or
employee’s spouse's immediate family. For purposes of emergency leave, immediate family is defined as spouse, child,
parent, grandparent, brother or sister (Family members identified herein can include step relations).

Emergency leave must be authorized by the Project Manager, whose Human Resources Manager will coordinate such leave
arrangements. The maximum employee will be paid during any period of approved emergency leave is 40 hours straight
time at the Base Salary rate only. The Project Manager may authorize additional leave days without pay, not to exceed 30
days. If authorized, emergency leave starts the date of departure from the approved departure point and includes travel time
from and return to the approved departure point.

In the event of an emergency, employee’s family members should notify the nearest Red Cross agency and request the Red
Cross agency to notify the company home office in Houston who, in turn, will notify the In-Country Human Resources
Manager.

All expenses, including round trip airline ticket will be at employee’s cost.

Proper documentation of the emergency, such as a copy of a death certificate or a physician's statement, is required for
payment of authorized emergency leave with pay. In the case of a death, a copy of the published obituary in a newspaper will
suffice as initial proof of the death, provided a death certificate is submitted to the Human Resources Department within the
30 days of returning to work.

10. Leave Without Pay (LWOP)

The Project Manager may approve leave without pay in the event of a non-life-threatening situation involving a family
member or for other personal reasons requiring employee’s absence from the Assignment Location for a limited period of
time, not to exceed 30 days. All expenses will be at employee’s cost. Employee will be paid only for actual hours worked on
day of departure and day of return to the Assignment Location.

Carrier unless the exceptions identified in the regulation are met and properly documented.

tier, engage or participate in, establish, facilitate, permit, or associate him or herself or the Company with: work by
prisoners, work imposed to punish an individual’s opinion or expression of views ideologically opposed to an

deposits (of money or personal documents such as workers’ passports) for employment; or any prevention or
restriction, without lawful authority, of a person’s liberty of movement or travel in order to maintain the labor
services of that person.

(f) Employee shall immediately alert both his or her immediate supervisors and Company Legal Counsel whenever he
or she has reason to suspect that Company employees or entities or Company subcontractors of any tier or their
employees are engaging in any of the labor practices listed or described in paragraphs a through e. Similarly,
Employee shall immediately alert both his or her immediate supervisors and Company Legal Counsel whenever he
or she has reason to suspect that a Company employee, or an employee of a Company subcontractor at any tier, is or
