EXECUTIVE ORDER 13658
a.The parties expressly stipulate this sublease is subject to Executive Order 13658,
the regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor in 29 CFR part 10 pursuant to the Executive
Order, and the following provisions.
b.Minimum Wages,
(1)Each worker (as defined in 29 CFR 10.2) engaged in the performance of this contract
by the prime contractor or any subcontractor, regardless of any contractual relationship
which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and worker, shall be paid not less
than the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658.
(2)The minimum wage required to be paid to each worker performing work on or in
connection with this contract between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, shall be
$10.95 per hour (and increasing to $15.00 per hour beginning January 20, 2022). The
mini
of the applicable minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 results in
a higher minimum wage. Adjustments to the Order minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii)
of Executive Order 13658 will be effective for all workers subject to the Executive Order
beginning January 1 of the following year. If appropriate the contracting officer, or other
agency official overseeing this contract shall ensure the contractor is compensated only
for the increase in labor costs resulting from the annual inflation increases in the Executive
Order 13658 minimum wage beginning on January 1, 2018. The Secretary of Labor will
publish annual determinations in the Federal Register no later than 90 days before such
new wage is to take effect. The Secretary will also publish the applicable minimum wage
on www,wdol.gov (or any successor Web site). The applicable minimum wage is

Rev. 05/25
(3)The Sublessee shall pay unconditionally to each worker all wages due free and clear
and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by CFR 10.23), rebate,
or kickback on any account. Such payments shall be made no later than one pay period
following the end of the regular pay period in which such wages were earned or accrued.
A pay period under this Executive Order may not be any duration longer than semi-
monthly.
(4)The Sublessee shall be responsible for the compliance by any contractor or lower-tier
subcontractor with the Executive Order minimum wage requirements. In the event of any
violation of the minimum wage obligation of this clause, the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages.
(5)If the commensurate wage rate paid to a worker on a covered contract whose wages
are calculated pursuant to a special certificate issued under 29 USC 214, whether hourly
or piece rate, is less than the Executive Order minimum wage, the contractor must pay
the Executive Order minimum wage rate to achieve compliance with the Order. If the
commensurate wage due under the certificate is greater than the Executive Order
minimum wage, the Sublessee must pay the 14 (c) worker the greater commensurate
wage.
c.Withholding. The agency head shall upon its own action or upon written request of

CFR part 10, the contracting agency may on its own action or after authorization or by direction
of the Department of Labor and written notification to the Sublessee, take action to cause
suspension of any further payment, advance or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased. Additionally, any failure to comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds
for termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. In such an event, the Government
may enter into other contracts or arrangements for completion of the work, charging the contractor
in default with any additional cost. A breach of the contract clause may be grounds for debarment
as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 10.52.
e.The Sublessee may not discharge any part of its minimum wage obligation under
Executive Order 13658 by furnishing fringe benefits or, with respect to workers whose wages are
governed by the Service Contract Act, the cash equivalent thereof.
f.Nothing herein shall relieve the Sublessee of any obligation under Federal, State,
or local law, for the payment of a higher wage to any worker, nor shall a lower prevailing wage
under any such Federal, State or local law entitle the lessee to pay less than the $9.30 (or the
minimum wage as established each January thereafter) to any worker.

information specified in paragraphs (g)(1) (i) through (vi) of this section for each worker

as may be necessary to cause suspension of any further payment or advance of funds

to conduct investigations, including interviewing workers at the worksite during normal
working hours.

implementing regulations; the Service Contract Act, as amended, and its implementing
regulations; the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and its implementing regulations;
or any other applicable law.

Rev. 05/25
j.Tipped employees. In paying wages to a tipped employee as defined in section
3(t) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. 203(t), the contractor may take a partial credit
against the wage payment obligation (tip credit) to the extent permitted under section 3(a) of
Executive Order 13658. In order to take such a tip credit, the employee must receive an amount
of tips at least equal to the amount of the credit taken; where the tipped employee does not receive
sufficient tips to equal the amount of the tip credit the contractor must increase the cash wage
paid for the workweek so that the amount of cash wage paid and the tips received by the employee
equal the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658. To utilize this proviso:
(1)The employer must inform the tipped employee in advance of the use of the tip credit;
(2)The employer must inform the tipped employee of the amount of cash wage that will
be paid and the additional amount by which the employee's wages will be considered
increased on account of the tip credit;
(3)The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually or through a pooling
arrangement and regardless of whether the employer elects to take a credit for tips
received); and
(4)The employer must be able to show by records that the tipped employee receives at
least the applicable Executive Order minimum wage through the combination of direct
wages and tip credit.
k.Antiretaliation. It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge or in any other
manner discriminate against any worker because such worker has filed any complaint or instituted
or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to Executive Order 13658 or 29 CFR
part 10, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding.
l.Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes related to the application of
Executive Order 13658 to this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of the
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department
of Labor set forth in 29 CFR part 10. Disputes within the meaning of this contract clause include
disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the
U.S. Department of Labor, or the workers or their representatives.
m.Notice. The Sublessee must notify all workers performing work on or in connection
with a covered contract of the applicable minimum wage rate under the Executive Order. With
respect to service employees on contracts covered by the Service Contract Act and laborers and
mechanics on contracts covered by the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor may meet this
requirement by posting, in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite, the applicable wage
determination under those statutes. With respect to workers performing work on or in connection
with a covered contract whose wages are governed by the FLSA, the lessee must post a notice
provided by the Department of Labor in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite so it
may be readily seen by workers. Contractors that customarily post notices to workers
electronically may post the notice electronically provided such electronic posting is displayed

and customarily used for notices to workers about terms and conditions of employment.
n.Hold Harmless and Indemnification. If a duly authorized representative of the
United States discovers or determines, whether before or subsequent to executing this contract,
that an erroneous determination regarding the applicability of Executive Order 13658 was made,
the contractor, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the United
States, its officers, agents, and employees, for and from any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
11
Rev. 05/25
expenses, suits, fines, penalties, judgments, demands or actions, costs, fees, and damages
directly or indirectly arising out of, caused by, related to, resulting from or in any way predicated
upon, in whole or in part, the erroneous Executive Order 13658 determination. This includes
contractor releasing any claim or entitlement it would otherwise have to an equitable adjustment
to the contract and indemnifying and holding harmless the United States from the claims of

EXECUTIVE ORDER 13706
a.Executive Order 13706. This sublease is subject to Executive Order 13706, the
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor in 29 CFR part 13 pursuant to the Executive Order,
and the following provisions.
b.Paid Sick Leave. (1) The Sublessee shall permit each employee (as defined in 29
CFR 13.2) engaged in the performance of this contract by the prime contractor or any Sublessee,
regardless of any contractual relationship that may be alleged to exist between the contractor and
employee, to earn not less than 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. The
contractor shall additionally allow accrual and use of paid sick leave as required by Executive
Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13. The contractor shall in particular comply with the accrual, use,
and other requirements set forth in 29 CFR 13.5 and 13.6, which are incorporated by reference
in this contract.
(2)The Sublessee shall provide paid sick leave to all employees when due free and clear
and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by 29 CFR 13.24),
rebate, or kickback on any account. The contractor shall provide pay and benefits for paid
sick leave used no later than one pay period following the end of the regular pay period in
which the paid sick leave was taken.
(3)The Sublessee shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower-
tier subcontractor with the requirements of Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, and
this clause.
c.Withholding. The Sublessee shall, upon its own action or upon written request of
an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from
the prime contractor under this or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, so
much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay employees
the full amount owed to compensate for any violation of the requirements of Executive Order
13706, 29 CFR part 13, or this condition, including any pay and/or benefits denied or lost by
reason of the violation; other actual monetary losses sustained as a direct result of the violation,
and liquidated damages.
d.Contract Suspension/Contract Termination/Contract Debarment. In the event of a
failure to comply with Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, or this clause, the contracting
officer may on its own action or after authorization or by direction of the Department of Labor and
written notification to the contractor, take action to cause suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. Additionally, any failure to
comply with the requirements of this condition may be grounds for other contract terminations of
the right to proceed with contract work. In such event, the Government may enter into or
arrangements for completion of the work, charging the lessee in default with any additional cost.
A breach of the contract clause may be grounds for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor
as provided in 29 CFR 13.52.
12
Rev. 05/25
e.The paid sick leave required by Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, and this
clause is in addition to the Sublessee-
Bacon Act, and a contractor may not receive credit toward its prevailing wage or fringe benefit
obligations under those Acts for any paid sick leave provided in satisfaction of the requirements
of Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13.
f.Nothing in Executive Order 13706 or 29 CFR part 13 shall excuse noncompliance
with or supersede any applicable Federal or State law, any applicable law or municipal ordinance,
or a collective bargaining agreement requiring greater paid sick leave or leave rights than those
established under Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13.
g.Recordkeeping.
(1)Any Sublessee performing work subject to Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part
13 must make and maintain, for no less than three (3) years from the completion of the
work on the contract, records containing the information specified in paragraphs (i) through
(xv)of this section for each employee and shall make them available for inspection,
copying, and transcription by authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division
of the U.S. Department of Labor:
(i)Name, address, and Social Security number of each employee;
(ii)The employee's occupation(s) or classification(s);
(iii)The rate or rates of wages paid (including all pay and benefits provided);
(iv)The number of daily and weekly hours worked;
(v)Any deductions made;
(vi)The total wages paid (including all pay and benefits provided) each pay period;
(vii)A copy of notifications to employees of the amount of paid sick leave the
employee has accrued, as required under 29 CFR 13.5(a)(2);
(viii)A copy of employees' requests to use paid sick leave, if in writing, or, if not in
writing, any other records reflecting such employee requests;
(ix)Dates and amounts of unpaid sick leave taken by employees (unless a
13706 and 29 CFR part 13 as described in § 13.5(f)(5), leave must be
designated in records as paid sick leave pursuant to Executive Order 13706);
(x)A copy of any written responses to employees' requests to use paid sick leave,
including explanations for any denials of such requests, as required under
29 CFR 13.5(d)(3);
(xi)Any records reflecting the certification and documentation the contractor may
require an employee to provide under 29 CFR 13.5(e), including copies of any
certification or documentation provided by an employee;
(xii)Any other records showing any tracking of or calculations related to an
employee's accrual or use of paid sick leave;
(xiii)The relevant covered contract;
(xiv)The regular pay and benefits provided to an employee for each use of paid
sick leave; and
(xv)Any financial payment made for unused paid sick leave upon a separation
from employment intended, pursuant to 29 CFR 13.5(b)(5), to relieve a contractor
from the obligation to reinstate such paid sick leave as otherwise required by 29
CFR 13.5(b)(4).
(2)(i) If the Sublessee wishes to distinguish between an employee's covered and
non-covered work, the contractor must keep records or other proof reflecting such
distinctions. Only if the contractor adequately segregates the employee's time will
13
Rev. 05/25
time spent on non-covered work be excluded from hours worked counted toward
the accrual of paid sick leave. Similarly, only if that contractor adequately
segregates the employee's time may a contractor properly refuse an employee's
request to use paid sick leave on the ground that the employee was scheduled to
perform non-covered work during the time she asked to use paid sick leave.
(ii)If the Sublessee estimates covered hours worked by an employee who
performs work in connection with covered contracts pursuant to 29 CFR 13.5(a)(i)
or (c), the contractor/subcontractor must keep records or other proof of the
verifiable information on which such estimates are reasonably based. Only if the
contractor/subcontractor relies on an estimate that is reasonable and based on
verifiable information will an employee's time spent in connection with non-covered
work be excluded from hours worked counted toward the accrual of paid sick leave.
If a contractor estimates the amount of time an employee spends performing in
connection with covered contracts, the contractor must permit the employee to use
paid sick leave during any work time for the contractor.
(3)In the event the lessee is not obligated by the Service Contract Act, the Davis- Bacon
Act, or the Fair Labor Standards Act to keep records of an employee's hours worked, such
as because the employee is exempt from the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime
requirements, and the contractor chooses to use the assumption permitted by 29 CFR
13.5(a)(1)(iii), the contractor is excused from the requirement in paragraph (1)(d) of this
section to keep records of the employee's number of daily and weekly hours worked.
(4)(i) Records relating to medical histories or domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking, created for purposes of Executive Order 13706, whether of an employee
or an employee's child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or other individual
related by blood or affinity whose close association with the employee is the
equivalent of a family relationship, shall be maintained as confidential records in
separate files/records from the usual personnel files.
(ii)If the confidentiality requirements of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination
Act of 2008 (GINA), section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and/or the
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA) apply to records or documents created to comply
with the record keeping requirements in this lease condition, the records and
documents must also be maintained in compliance with the confidentiality
requirements of the GINA, section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and/or
ADA as described in 29 CFR 1635.9, 41 CFR 60-741.23(d), and 29 CFR
1630.14(c)(1), respectively.
(iii)The Sublessee shall not disclose any documentation used to verify the need
to use 3 or more consecutive days of paid sick leave for the purposes listed in 29
CFR 13.5(c)(1)(iv) (as described in 29 CFR 13.5(e)(1)(ii)) and shall maintain
confidentiality about any domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking, unless the
employee consents or when disclosure is required by law.
(5)The Sublessee shall permit authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division
to conduct interviews with employees at the worksite during normal working hours.
(6)Nothing in this contract clause limits or otherwise modifies the Sublessee
recordkeeping obligations, if any, under the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act,
the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Executive Order 13658,
their respective implementing regulations, or any other applicable law.

with an employee's accrual or use of paid sick leave as required by Executive Order 13706 or 29
CFR part 13. Interference includes, but is not limited to, miscalculating the amount of paid sick
leave an employee has accrued, denying or unreasonably delaying a response to a proper
request to use paid sick leave, discouraging an employee from using paid sick leave, reducing an
employee's accrued paid sick leave by more than the amount of such leave used, transferring an
employee to work on non-covered contracts to prevent the accrual or use of paid sick leave,
disclosing confidential information contained in certification or other documentation provided to
verify the need to use paid sick leave, or making the use of paid sick leave contingent on the
employee's finding a replacement worker or the fulfillment of the contractor's operational needs.
(2)A Sublessee may not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any
employee for:
(i)Using, or attempting to use, paid sick leave as provided for under Executive
