Pursuant to FAR 52.203-11 and FAR 52.203-12, Service Provider hereby certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief that no Federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to any person influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any U.S. agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress on its behalf in connection with the awarding of this Agreement. Service Provider will inform PARATEK if, at any time during performance, Service Provider cannot make the foregoing certification with respect to an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of this Agreement, rather than the initial award of this Agreement.

REPORTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND AWARD. Service Provider will provide PARATEK with any information reasonably required to satisfy PARATEK’s obligations under FAR 52.204-10 Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards (Oct 2018), including the information specified in FAR 52.204-

Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO THE U.S GOVERNMENT. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that information that Service Provider shares with PARATEK may be shared with the U.S. Government in connection with PARATEK’s performance of its agreement(s) with the U.S. Government. When appropriate, Service Provider may request that PARATEK provide specific information to the U.S. Government with restrictions on further disclosure of the information. PARATEK will not be responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of information by the U.S. Government or its agents or contractors.

82586505_1

10.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SITE VISITS. AUDITS. INSPECTIONS. AND COMMUNICATIONS. At the U.S. Government’s request, PARATEK and the U.S. Government together will have the right to conduct site visits, audits, and inspections at Service Provider’s facilities relating to PARATEK’s performance of this Agreement, including for the purpose of inventorying, with twenty-four hours’ advance notice or without notice with respect to time- sensitive or critical circumstances. If PARATEK or the U.S. Government identifies any issues during the visit, Service Provider will prepare a report describing the issues and where applicable, identifying potential solutions. Solely with respect to audits or inspections initiated at the request of the U.S. Government, Service Provider will provide the report to PARATEK for review within twelve (12) business days of being notified of any issues. Once corrective action (if any) is taken in consultation with PARATEK, Service Provider will promptly provide PARATEK with a follow-up report.

To the extent permitted by law, Service Provider will also promptly provide PARATEK with notice within twenty-four hours of any arrival of U.S. Government personnel to conduct site visits or audits at Service Provider’s facility that could cover work performed under this Agreement.

11.

PRIME CONTRACT AND QUALITY AGREEMENT.

12.

U.S. GOVERNMENT DISPUTES. Any dispute between Service Provider and PARATEK arising from the U.S. Government’s actions under the applicable PARATEK agreement(s) with the U.S. Government, and for which PARATEK has recourse against the U.S. Government, will be resolved as follows notwithstanding any other dispute provisions in this Agreement:

Service Provider shall notify PARATEK of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in no event more than six months after Service Provider knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to such a dispute. Service Provider shall provide in the notice a written justification for and evidence supporting its position in the dispute and certify that it has a good faith basis to take this position.

Upon receiving a timely and complete notice from Service Provider, PARATEK will pursue relief under the Disputes clause in the applicable PARATEK agreement(s) with the U.S. Government by submitting a sponsored claim to the relevant U.S. Government contracting officer(s).

If Service Provider deems the contracting officer’s final decision in response to the sponsored claim to have an adverse effect on Service Provider’s position or rights, Service Provider and PARATEK will jointly determine in good faith whether to appeal the contracting officer’s final decision to the appropriate Board of Contract Appeals, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, or any other forum that has jurisdiction over the contracting officer’s final decision. If Service Provider and PARATEK jointly agree to pursue such an appeal, Service Provider will be responsible for pursuing the appeal through PARATEK’s filings and will bear all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from the appeal.

PARATEK will transfer any amounts that it receive s in a dispute with the U. S. Government to Service Provider to the extent that such amounts reflect recovery for any portion of a claim representing Service Provider’s damages. PARATEK’s payment of such amounts will constitute complete satisfaction of any liability that PARATEK may have to Service Provider under this Agreement in connection with such a claim. PARATEK will also have no liability to Service Provider in connection with a claim brought under this Section to the extent that the U.S. Government issues a final decision denying such a claim after the decision is no longer appealable. In addition, PARATEK will have no liability to Service Provider with respect to any dispute that Service Provider fails to timely raise under this

82586505_1

Section, except to the extent that PARATEK expressly agrees in writing to waive an applicable timeline.

13.

NO SUPPORT OF TERRORISM. Service Provider acknowledges that U.S. executive orders and laws, including but not limited to Executive Order 13224 and Public Law 107-56, prohibit transactions with, and the provision of resources and support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism. It is the legal responsibility of Service Provider to ensure compliance with these executive orders and laws. This clause must be included in all subcontracts under this Agreement.

14.

SECURITY INCIDENTS. Service Provider will provide PARATEK with notice within twenty- four hours of becoming aware of any security incident—including violation of Service Provider’s established security standards, compromise, intrusion, loss of or interference with security processes and procedures, and the loss or theft of PARATEK or U.S. Government property— relating to the work performed under this Agreement. Service Provider shall ensure that all software components that are not required for the operation and maintenance of the database/control system have been removed and/or disabled in such an event. Service Provider shall provide PARATEK with information appropriate to information and information technology software and service updates and/or workarounds to mitigate all vulnerabilities associated with the data associated with an incident and shall maintain an adequate level of system security. Service Provider will investigate security incidents to determine their cause, the extent, loss or compromise of sensitive program information, and corrective actions taken to prevent future incidents. The U.S. Government may direct that this Agreement be terminated in response to a severe security incident in which case PARATEK will be authorized to immediately terminate this Agreement and Service Provider will be solely entitled to receive an amount that it would be entitled to receive under FAR 52.249-2 if this Agreement were a prime contract with the U.S. Government.

15.	PERFORMANCE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in a Scope of Work, Service Provider will not perform work under this Agreement outside the United States without PARATEK’s express prior written consent.
