or for any delay in performance of, the terms of this Subcontract to the extent such failure or

diligent efforts to remove said causes and resume performance hereunder.

B. If failure or delay of performance resulting from a condition of force majeure has or is
expected to impact PANTHERA’s performance or delivery under the Prime Contract, then
PANTHERA may terminate the Subcontract for convenience pursuant to this clause.
However, if:

1. The subcontracted supplies or services were obtainable from another source;

2. PANTHERA ordered Subcontractor to purchase these supplies or services from
another source; and

3. Subcontractor failed to comply reasonably with this order, then PANTHERA may
terminate the Subcontract for default.

PART IV - STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Panthera has certain contracts existing and envisioned for the future. Panthera is entering into this
Subcontract with the Subcontractor to provide Tactical Training Services in accordance with the
terms of this Subcontract and subsequent Task Orders entered into between Panthera and the
Subcontractor.

Work contemplated under this Subcontract is specifically for tactical training at the Facility.
Panthera may have other clients and contracts that may require CONUS training at another CONUS
location, or OCONUS training, goods, and services, which do not fall within the scope of this
Subcontract.

For each Task Order issued under this Subcontract, Panthera will provide a Statement of Work
(SOW) to Subcontractor, serving as the basis for the Work to be performed.

Subcontractor will provide qualified personnel for the Work to be performed, provide all or portions
of the Facility on which the Work will be performed, and provide all required training assets and
personal property, including but not limited to, vehicles, weapons and ammunition, in connection
with performing the Work.

PART V — PRICE SCHEDULE

All prices and reimburseable costs will be specifically addressed in each Task Order issued under
this Subcontract.

The intention of the subcontract is to govern the pricing of the Task Orders in two general categories
of Task Order pricing:

1. Under certain existing and future contracts the training services will be provided in total by
Subcontractor. For these Task Orders the price for each CLIN or Call Order delivered by the
Subcontractor will be the total price specified in the contract for the CLIN or Call Order.
This pricing structure will be indicated in the Task Order.

Panthera will issue a Purchase Order to the Subcontractor prior to each training CLIN or Call
Order. Payments will be routed directly to the subcontractor when possible. In all other cases,
the payment will be wired to the subcontractor by Panthera immediately upon receipt.

In order for Panthera to cover fees and expenses for these contracts, subcontractor will pay
Panthera TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($20,000.00) per month,
on the first of each month. These payments will be deducted from future Additional Lease
payments to Panthera made under the terms of the Facility Lease.

2. For Task Orders issued under other future contracts, Panthera may be required to conduct the
CONUS training for certain classified or foreign customers at the Facility. For these Task
Orders Panthera and the Subcontractor will negotiate in advance on the amount to be paid to
Subcontractor on such Task Orders. Panthera will issue a Purchase Order to the
Subcontractor prior to each training CLIN or Call Order.

PART VI - MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-CIRCUMVENT

PANTHERA, including subsidiaries, and Subcontractor, including subsidiaries, affiliates,
successors, or assigns, (together “The Parties’’), are entering into discussions regarding a Subcontract
to provide Tactical Training Services at the Panthera Training Center, Old Fields, WV (“The
Opportunity”). The Parties agree that the following terms and conditions apply when one of the
Parties (Discloser) discloses confidential information (Information) to the other (Recipient) under
this Subcontract. The Parties agree that the mutual objective under this Subcontract is to provide
appropriate protection for Information while maintaining our ability to conduct our respective
business activities.

1. DISCLOSURE

Information to be disclosed relates to a potential business relationship under The Opportunity and
will be disclosed either:

a) in writing;
b) by delivery of items;
c) by initiation of access to Information, such as may be contained in a data base; or

d) by oral and/or visual presentation.

Information should be marked with a restrictive legend of the Discloser. If Information is not marked
with such legend or is disclosed orally, 1) the Information will be identified as confidential at the
time, and 2) the Discloser will promptly provide the Recipient with written confirmation.

2. OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY

The Recipient will use the same care and discretion to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination
of Information as it uses with its own similar information that it does not wish to disclose, publish or
disseminate. The Recipient may use Information solely for the purpose of this Subcontract. The
Recipient may disclose Information only to:

a) Its employees and employees of its parent and subsidiary companies who have a need to know;
and

b) any other party with the Discloser’s prior written consent.

Before disclosure to any of the above parties, the Recipient will have a written agreement with such
party sufficient to require that party to treat Information in accordance with this Subcontract. The
Recipient may disclose Information to the extent required by law. However, the Recipient must give
the Discloser prompt notice and make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY PERIOD

Disclosed Information continues to be subject to this Subcontract for two years following the
disclosure date or two years following the conclusion of any contract or subcontract resulting from
the disclosure.

2018-PTLLC-TRAINING-001 Page 21 of 23
4. EXCEPTIONS

No obligation of confidentiality applies to any Information that the Recipient:
a) already possesses without obligation of confidentiality;
b) develops independently; or
c) rightfully receives without obligations of confidentiality from a third party.

No obligation of confidentiality applies to any Information that is, or becomes, publicly available
without breach of this Subcontract. Neither this Subcontract nor any disclosure of Information grants
the Recipient any license under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

5. NON-CIRCUMVENTION

At any time prior to the expiration of two years from the date of this Subcontract, it is expressly
agreed that the identities of any individual or entity and any other third parties (including, without
limitation, suppliers, customers, financial sources, manufacturers and consultants) discussed and
made available by the Discloser shall constitute Confidential Information and the Recipient shall
not (without the prior written consent of, or having entered into a commission agreement with, the
Discloser):

a) directly or indirectly initiate, solicit, negotiate, contract or enter into any business
transactions, agreements or undertakings with any such third party identified or introduced
by the Discloser; or

b) seek to by-pass, compete, avoid or circumvent the Discloser from any business opportunity
or by otherwise exploiting or deriving any benefit from the Confidential Information.

6. DISCLAIMERS

The Discloser provides information on an “as is” basis. The Discloser will not be liable for any
damages arising out of use of Information. Disclosure of Information containing business plans is
for planning purposes only. The Discloser may change or cancel its plans at any time. Therefore, use
of such Information is at the Recipient’s own risk.

7, GENERAL

This Subcontract does not require either party to disclose or to receive Information.
