25 a. All invoices shall be submitted on a monthly basis (unless otherwise authorized in advance by Praxis in writing).
26 Payment terms for valid and non-disputed monthly invoices are as follows: (i) Items received between the 1st and

4 Praxis shall negotiate the amount of fair compensation to be paid the Subcontractor in the event of a termination. The
5 rights of the parties shall be governed by the provisions of FAR Clause 52.249-6 Alternate IV, however, where necessary
6 to derive proper meaning in a subcontract situation from these clauses, “Contractor” means “Subcontractor,”
7 “Contracting Officer” means “Praxis,” “Contract” means this subcontract and “Government” means “Praxis or the
8 Government.” However, the words “Government” and “Contracting Officer” do not change: (i) when a right, act,
9 authorization, or obligation can be granted or performed only by the Government or the Prime Contract Contracting
10 Officer or duly authorized representative, (ii) when title to property is to be transferred directly to the Government, and
11 (iii) in FAR 52.227-1, 52.227-2, 52.246-23 and DFARS 252.227-7013 and 252.227-7014.

17 3. CHANGES CLAUSE. The authority to make changes, modifications, additions, deletions, or amendments to this
18 Contract rests solely with the duly authorized Praxis representatives provided in Article VIII Paragraph 1, and such
19 changes, additions, deletions, amendments, or modifications shall not be valid unless in writing and signed accordingly,
20 by said representatives identified in Article VIII Paragraph 1. If the Subcontractor effects any change at the direction of a
21 person other than those Praxis representatives specifically identified in Article VIII Paragraph 1, said change shall be
22 considered as having been made without Praxis authority and adjustments shall not be made in the Contract price or
23 delivery schedule as a result thereof.
24 a. Praxis may, from time to time, require changes in the scope of the services of the Subcontractor to be performed
25 hereunder. Such changes that are mutually agreed upon by the parties shall be incorporated by written amendment to
26 this Contract. Praxis may, at any time by written notice and without notice to sureties or assignees, make changes
27 within the general scope of this Contract in any one or more of the following:
28 drawings, designs, or specifications,
29 method of shipping or packing,
30 place of inspection acceptance or point of delivery,
31 delivery schedule, and
32 consideration and payment.
33 b. Should any such change increase or decrease the cost or the time required for performance of this order, an equitable
34 adjustment may be requested by the Subcontractor or Praxis in the price, delivery schedule, or both. No request by
35 the Subcontractor for such adjustment will be valid unless submitted to Praxis within thirty (30) days from date of
36 such change. The request for adjustment should include charges for redundant material, work in process, and any
37 other costs involved. Any claim for cost associated with a change in the scope of the work shall be documented in
38 the detail prescribed by FAR Clause 43.203b.
39 c. Praxis’s engineering and technical personnel may from time to time render assistance to the Subcontractor
40 concerning the items or services to be furnished pursuant to this Contract. No change will be binding unless issued in
41 writing by Praxis’s duly authorized official. Any request of action by Praxis or its customer’s technical staff that the
42 Subcontractor considers to constitute a change to the scope of this order shall be identified in writing to the Praxis
43 representatives provided in Article VIII Paragraph 1 within thirty (30) days of the alleged change. Nothing contained
44 in this clause shall relieve the Subcontractor from proceeding without delay in the performance of this contract as
45 changed.

30 that if it engages in the United States in the business of either manufacturing OR exporting defense articles, or
31 furnishing defense services, as defined at 22 CFR 122, the receiving party is registered with the U.S. State Department.

50 Subcontractor.”
51 (a) Definitions.
52 The term “contractor” includes the Contractor and its employees, affiliates, marketing consultants (if any), consultants,
53 and subcontractors at all tiers.
Praxis, Inc. Page 12 of 20
V3 1011
SUBCONTRACT NO. SUBCONTRACT NUMBER
Between Praxis, Inc. and SUBCONTRACTOR NAME
1 “Organizational Conflict of Interest” (“OCI”) means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a
2 person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person’s
3 objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive
4 advantage (FAR 2.101). An OCI may result when—
5 (1) Activities or relationships create an actual or potential conflict of interest related to the performance of the
6 Statement of Work (SOW) of this Contract; or
7 (2) When the nature of the SOW on this Contract creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to
8 the Contractor in relation to a future acquisition.
9 “Marketing consultant,” means any independent contractor who furnishes advice, information, direction, or assistance to
10 an offeror or any other contractor in support of the preparation or submission of an offer for a Government contract by
11 that offeror. An independent contractor is not a marketing consultant when rendering—
12 (1) Services excluded in FAR Subpart 37.2;
13 (2) Routine engineering and technical services (such as installation, operation, or maintenance of systems,
14 equipment, software, components, or facilities);
15 (3) Routine legal, actuarial, auditing, and accounting services; and
16 (4) Training services.
17 (b) In accordance with the guidance in FAR Subpart 9.5, the Contracting Officer has determined that potentially
18 significant organizational conflicts of interest (OCls) could result if the Contractor is allowed to participate (at any
19 level) in future Federal Government acquisitions that include requirements that may be established or affected by the
20 performance of the Statement of Work (SOW) by the Contractor under this Contract.
21 (c) It is understood and agreed that the Contractor may be ineligible (unless expressly exempted as provided in FAR
22 Part 9.5) to act as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consultant or subcontractor to any prime contractor or
23 subcontractor at any tier, for any future requirements (for services, systems, or components of systems) procured by
24 any Federal Government activity where the Contractor, in performance of the SOW under this Contract, has
25 provided or is providing support (as described in FAR 9.505-1 through 9.505-4) that establishes or affects future
26 requirements or may affect the future competition.
27 (d) The contracting officer responsible for securing future requirements, in his/her sole discretion, may make a
28 determination to exempt the Contractor from ineligibility as described in subparagraph (c) above provided the
29 Contractor submits an acceptable mitigation plan.
30 (1) Items for consideration in a mitigation plan include the following: identification of the organizational conflict(s)
31 of interest; a reporting and tracking system; an organizational conflict of interest compliance/enforcement plan,
32 to include employee training and sanctions, in the event of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information; a
33 plan for organizational segregation (e.g., separate reporting chains); data security measures; and, non-disclosure
34 agreements.
35 (2) The Government’s determination regarding the adequacy of the mitigation plan or the possibility of mitigation
36 is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Government and is not subject to the Disputes clause
37 of the contract. The Government may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to implement and
38 follow the procedures contained in any approved mitigation plan.
39 (3) Nothing contained herein shall preclude the contracting officer in future Federal Government acquisitions from
40 making his/her own determination as to whether an OCI exists and whether any such OCI has been successfully
41 mitigated.
42 (e) The Contractor shall apply this clause to any subcontractors or consultants who: have access to proprietary
43 information received or generated in the performance of this Contract; and/or, who participate in the development of
44 data, or participate in any other activity related to this Contract which is subject to the terms of this clause at the
45 prime contractor level.
46 (f) The Contactor agrees that it and its subcontractors at all levels shall use reasonable diligence in protecting
47 proprietary data/information that is received or generated in performance of this Contract in accordance with this
48 clause and any other clause of this Contract pertaining to the nondisclosure of information. The Contractor further
49 agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors will willfully disclose proprietary data/information that is received or
50 generated in the performance of this Contract without the prior permission of the Contracting Officer, and that
51 proprietary information shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed, in whole or part, for any purpose other than to
52 accomplish the work required by the Contract.

1 (g) The Contractor and its Subcontractors at all levels shall inform their employees that they are required to comply
2 with the applicable requirements and restrictions contained in: restrictive markings applicable to data/information
3 that they receive or generate in the performance of this Contract; FAR Subpart 9.5 pertaining to actual or potential
4 OCls; FAR 3.104 pertaining to requirements and restrictions under the Procurement Integrity Act; and, Defense
5 FAR Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7000 pertaining to “Disclosure of Information.”
6 (h) The Government may disclose to the Contractor proprietary data/information it receives from other companies only
7 in accordance with the terms and conditions under which the Government received the proprietary data/information.
8 The Contractor agrees to enter into written information sharing agreements with all other companies whose
9 proprietary data/information it must have access to in order to perform its responsibilities under the Contract. The
10 Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer copies of such written agreements before the Government will
11 disclose relevant third party proprietary information to the Contractor. The Contractor shall protect such data from
12 unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary in accordance with the terms of its information
13 sharing agreement with the source of the proprietary data/information. The Contractor agrees to: protect the
14 proprietary data/information of other organizations with at least the same degree of care that a reasonably prudent
15 Contractor would use to safeguard its own highly valuable data/information; and, to refrain from using proprietary
16 data/information of other organizations for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.
17 (i) The Contractor shall not distribute reports, data, or information of any nature received or arising from its performance
18 under this Contract, except as provided by this Contract or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.
19 (ii) The Contractor agrees that if in the performance of this Contract it discovers a potential OCI, a prompt and full
20 disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions
21 the Contractor has taken, or proposes to take, to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.
22 ARTICLE X. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
23 1. INSPECTION. The Subcontractor expressly warrants that all items covered by this Contract shall conform to
24 specifications, drawings, samples, or other description as set forth in the Task/Purchase Order or as furnished by Praxis
25 or the Government, and that they shall be of good material and workmanship and free from known defects. All property
26 and workmanship pertaining to this Contract shall be subject, upon request of Praxis, to inspection and test by
27 representatives of Praxis and/or the Government. Final inspection shall be made by the Government after delivery is
28 made unless otherwise provided for in the Task/Purchase Order. If inspection or test, preliminary or final, by Praxis or
29 the Government, is required to be made on the Subcontractor’s premises, the Subcontractor shall furnish all reasonable
30 facilities and assistance for safe and convenient inspections and tests required by inspectors of Praxis or the Government
31 in performance of their duties. These provisions shall not relieve the Subcontractor of the obligations to make full and
32 adequate tests and inspection. Notwithstanding any prior payments or acceptance, Praxis may reject and return any items
33 not of quality ordered or not in conformance with the applicable specifications or warranties.
34 2. FINAL ACCEPTANCE. All deliverables will be subject to final acceptance by the Government. The Contracting
35 Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) on the Prime Contract will have the right to approve or
36 disapprove any Task/Purchase Order effort, along with its associated documentation and/or deliverable. Final acceptance
37 shall be accomplished on performance of the efforts and the delivery of the items required by the Task/Purchase Order,
38 as well as the delivery of all items specified therein in accordance with the requirements of Articles I and III hereof. The
39 Praxis Task Manager shall not unreasonably withhold acceptance of any items delivered hereunder.
40 ARTICLE XI. LIABILITY
41 1. RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMPLOYEE ACTIONS. The Subcontractor assumes sole responsibility and liability for any
42 injuries incurred or suffered by its employees in rendering any performance or services under this Contract if such
43 injuries are caused by the sole action or inaction of the Subcontractor or its employees.
44 2. INDEMNIFICATION. The Subcontractor will indemnify and save harmless Praxis, its employees, agents, and invitees
45 from and against all liability, demands, claims, losses, costs, damages, and expenses by reason or on account of property
46 damage, death, and personal injury of whatsoever nature or kind arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with the
47 performance of this Contract which is occasioned by the actions or omissions of the Subcontractor or its subcontractors
48 or suppliers of any tier.

3 minimum limits indicated:
4 a. Commercial General Liability: $1,000,000 per person/$2,000,000 per occurrence bodily injury and/or property

6 limited to, premises and operations, products, and completed operations and contracts.
7 b. In accordance with FAR 52.228-5, Insurance—Work on a Government Installation, whenever performance requires
8 work on a Government installation, the Subcontractor shall, at their sole cost and expense, procure and maintain the
9 additional following insurance coverage in the minimum limits indicated:
10 Automobile Liability: $1,000,000 per person/$2,000,000 per occurrence bodily injury and/or property damage

12 Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability: The workers’ compensation insurance coverage shall be as
13 required by the laws of the State in which the work is performed. The employer’s liability insurance limit shall
14 be at least $1,000,000.
15 c. All insurance required as a part of this Contract including that under the Government installation clause herein shall
16 be placed with insurance companies that are authorized to do business under the laws of the State or States in which
17 the Government installation is located. Whenever performance hereunder requires work on a Government
18 installation, the Subcontractor shall, if requested by Praxis, provide evidence, in the form of insurance certificates,
19 that the required insurance is in place.
20 d. Insurance coverage described herein must be in place and effective before commencement of any activity that is the
21 subject of this Contract. Praxis and the Subcontractor agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the other from
22 all damages and liabilities arising out of or in connection with presence on the other’s premises pursuant to this
23 Contract; provided, however, that such damage and liability shall not have been caused by the negligence of the

30 Subcontractor is an expert, fully competent in all phases involved in producing, testing, developing, tooling,
31 manufacturing, modifying, altering, reconditioning, stocking, training, and servicing the items delivered hereunder. In
32 this context, the Subcontractor agrees that it will not deny any responsibility or obligation to Praxis or its customer

37 releasing any items for production, neither accepts responsibility for nor relieves the Subcontractor from the

39 any rights of Praxis under this Contract.

35 Regulation (FAR) or equivalent Federal Procurement Regulation (FPR), and the Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) as
36 are included in the Praxis Government Prime Contract or subcontract, which regulations are incorporated herein by
37 reference.
38 a. The terms and conditions of the General Provisions and Contract Clauses of the NRL Prime Contract No. PRIME
39 CONTRACT NO. that are applicable to this Contract are incorporated in Exhibit E hereto.
40 b. The FAR and DFARS clauses incorporated in Exhibit E hereto, where applicable by their terms, are incorporated
41 herein by reference as if set forth in full text. The effective version of each FAR or DFARS clause shall be the same
42 version as that which appears in the Prime Contract, or higher-tier subcontract, under which this Contract is a
43 subcontract. If any of the clauses are not applicable by their terms they shall be self-deleting. Whenever said clauses
44 include a requirement for the resolution of disputes between the parties in accordance with the “Disputes” clause
45 herein, the dispute shall be disposed of in accordance with the clause entitled “Disputes” herein.
46 c. Except for references made to the Government’s Disputes clause, any conflict or inconsistency between the
47 provisions listed in the FAR/DFARS clause citations and the clauses set forth elsewhere in this Contract and
48 conditions shall be resolved in favor of the former.

3 e. The required Representations and Certifications are attached as Exhibit F.
4 2. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All of the provisions of this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
5 the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns. Any assignment by the Subcontractor of this
6 Contract or performance of work hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be void unless consented to by Praxis in writing
7 and Praxis shall have no obligations to any assignee of the Subcontractor under any assignment not consented to in
8 writing by Praxis. This shall not apply to assignments of proceeds by the Subcontractor. The merger or consolidation of
9 Praxis into or with any other entity shall not terminate this Contract.
10 3. WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Any failure by Praxis at any time, or from time to time, to enforce or require the strict
11 keeping and performance by the Subcontractor of any of the terms or conditions of this Contract shall not constitute a
12 waiver by Praxis of a breach of any such terms or conditions in any way, or the right of Praxis at any time to avail itself
13 of such remedies as it may have for any such breach or breaches of such terms or conditions. Waiver by one party hereto
14 of breach of any provision of this Contract by the other shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver.
15 4. SUBCONTRACTOR CORPORATE IDENTITY. Praxis agrees to maintain the Subcontractor’s corporate identity in
16 Praxis deliverable work products to the procuring activity. Further, in order for the Subcontractor to maintain quality
17 assurance of its work products, Praxis agrees not to alter the Subcontractor’s work products without mutual consent.
18 5. ADEQUATE ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE. If at any time Praxis has reasonable grounds for insecurity whether
19 the Subcontractor’s performance will be full, timely, and continuing in accordance with the requirements of this
20 Contract, Praxis may request, by written notice to the Subcontractor, satisfactory assurances in writing that the
21 Subcontractor is able or willing to perform all of its respective obligations under this Contract. The Subcontractor shall
22 provide with its assurances of performance any information, reports, or other materials, prepared by the Subcontractor as
23 Praxis may reasonably request. Upon Praxis’s request and as soon as practicable, the Subcontractor shall make available
24 employees, including members of the Subcontractor’s senior management, to meet with Praxis to discuss those
25 assurances of performance. If the Subcontractor does not provide adequate written assurances within fifteen (15) days of
26 Praxis’s written notice and request, Praxis may, at its option, treat this Contract as breached or canceled by the
27 Subcontractor.
28 6. EXCUSABLE DELAYS. All Services furnished hereunder shall be furnished at the time specified on the Task/Purchase
29 Order or any Change thereto. However, the Subcontractor shall not be charged for any liability for failure or delay in
30 furnishing such Services when such failure or delay is due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or
31 negligence of the Subcontractor; provided, that the Subcontractor gives to Praxis prompt notice in writing when it
32 appears that such cause will delay the furnishing of such Services. Correspondingly, Praxis shall be excused for failure
33 or delay in performance of this Contract due to causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence.
34 7. DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION.
35 a. Any dispute that may arise under or in connection with this Contract with respect to the rights, duties, or

40 (90) calendar days from the date the written claim is received by the other party, or such additional time as the

42 c. Any controversies arising out of the terms of this Contract or its interpretation shall be settled in the
43 Commonwealth of Virginia in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the judgment
44 upon award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The decision rendered shall be final and
45 binding on the Subcontractor and Praxis. Pending settlement or final decision of any such dispute, the
46 Subcontractor shall proceed diligently with the performance of this Contract according with the directions of
47 Praxis.
48 d. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a dispute under this Contract involves issues which can be
49 included in a claim by Praxis pursuant to the “Disputes” provisions of its higher-tier contract: (i) Praxis may
50 include such issues in a claim against the Government or higher-tier contractor pursuant to the disputes procedure
51 of Praxis’s higher-tier contract and Praxis may invite the Subcontractor to participate in the prosecution and share
52 in the expense of such dispute; or (ii) the Subcontractor may at its own expense and subject to Praxis approval
53 (which shall include a sponsorship agreement) and in the name of Praxis, submit such issues to the higher-tier

4 involved under the Contract, and it shall abide by the final decision of such higher-tier disputes procedure, provided
5 Praxis, if it chooses not to exhaust its right of appeal under such procedure, gives the Subcontractor the opportunity
6 to take any available appeal.

8 if, at any time during the performance of this Contract, the Subcontractor is suspended, debarred, or declared ineligible
9 for contract award, or has received notice that any Government department or agency is considering suspension or
10 debarment of the Subcontractor.
11 9. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; SUBCONTRACTOR PERSONNEL. The Subcontractor’s relationship to Praxis
12 shall be that of a subcontractor and this Contract does not create an agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship
13 between Praxis and the Subcontractor. Personnel supplied by the Subcontractor hereunder shall be deemed employees of
14 the Subcontractor and shall not for any purposes be considered employees or agents of Praxis.
15 10. WORK INTERRUPTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Praxis shall not compensate

18 strike, picket line, or other labor disturbance.
19 11. SUBCONTRACTOR PERSONNEL.
20 a. All personnel assigned by the Subcontractor to perform the Services to be furnished hereunder shall be capable,
21 skilled, qualified, and competent to perform such Services.
22 b. If this Contract requires the Subcontractor’s personnel to enter Praxis or Praxis’s customer’s premises, the
23 Subcontractor agrees to have its personnel, engaged in the performance of Services hereunder, report to the
24 customer’s premises at times to be specified by Praxis, so that the Customer may provide said personnel with
25 identification badges, which will permit such personnel to enter and leave the premises where the work is to be
26 performed. The Subcontractor further agrees that said badges shall be worn by said personnel, in a conspicuous
27 place upon the person of each of its personnel, when such personnel are in, on, or about the premises. The

29 such rules and regulations pertaining to plant security as may be prescribed by Praxis and/or the Government
30 customer.
31 c. The Subcontractor will ensure that any Subcontractor personnel assigned to work on Praxis or its customer’s
32 premises shall comply with any on-premises guidelines. All persons, property, and vehicles entering or leaving

34 at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, the Subcontractor must comply with the Requirements for On-
35 Site Contractors in Exhibit G for any efforts performed at that facility.
36 d. At all times the Subcontractor shall use suitable safety precautions, including, as a minimum, those safety

38 include, but not be limited to, the use of proper materials, tools, equipment, and other safeguards, as appropriate.
39 e. Discipline of Subcontractor's employees shall be Subcontractor's responsibility. Praxis may require the
40 Subcontractor to remove from its or its customer’s premises any employee, agent, or representative of the

42 Subcontractor shall remove such employee, agent, or representative from the premises immediately.
