THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this January 31, 2023, by and between Global Security Corporation, Inc. (GSC), hereinafter referred to as “the Employer”, and the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) and its Amalgamated Local Union 725, hereinafter referred to as “the Union”. Unless otherwise stated herein, the provisions of this Agreement are effective at the date of execution.

ARTICLE 1

RECOGNITION

Section 1.1 – Recognition of Union. The Employer hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of all full-time, part-time, reserve, armed and/or unarmed security officers, for the purpose of collective bargaining in respect to rates of pay, wages, benefits, hours of employment and other conditions of employment in the bargaining unit(s) assigned to federal facilities in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada pursuant to Contract No. 70RFPW18DW9000002 with the United States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Protective Service (DHS/FPS), hereinafter referred to as "the Contract", for which the Union was voluntary recognized or is currently certified by the National Labor Relations Board.

Should there be any conflict between the Employer’s Policies and Procedures Manual and the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Collective Bargaining Agreement will control. Should there be any conflict between the Contract and this Agreement; the Contract will prevail.

Section 1.2 – Employees. Whenever used in this Agreement, the term "Employee(s)" shall mean all full-time, part-time, reserve, armed or unarmed security officers, employed by the Employer to perform service work on the Contract and as defined by Section 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act. It is expressly agreed and understood between the Parties that persons enrolled or participating in pre-hire training programs offered by the Employer shall not be considered Employees under this Section 1.2.

Section 1.3 – Probationary Employees. All Employees newly hired, or rehired after termination of their seniority, shall be classified as probationary employees for a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the first date the Employee performs work on the

ARTICLE 2

UNION SECURITY

Section 2.1 – Membership. An employee who is not a member of the Union at the time this Agreement becomes effective shall become a member of the Union within ten

(10) days after the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of this Agreement or within ten (10) days after the thirtieth (30th) day following employment, whichever is later, as a condition of continued employment, and shall remain a member of the Union, to the extent of paying an initiation fee and membership dues uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership in the Union, for the duration of this agreement.

Section 2.2 – Dues and Fees. Employees meet the requirement of being members of the Union, within the meaning of this Article, by tendering the periodic dues and initiation fees uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership in the Union or, in the alternative, by tendering to the Union financial core fees and dues, as defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in NLRB v. General Motors Corporation, 373 U.S. 734 (1963) and Beck v. Communication Workers of America, 487 U.S. 735 (1988).

Section 2.3 – Requests for Discharge. In the event the Union requests the discharge of an employee for failure to comply with the provisions of this Article, it shall serve written notice on the Employer requesting that the employee be discharged effective no sooner than two (2) weeks after the date of that notice. The notice shall contain the reason for discharge. In the event the Union subsequently determines that the employee has remedied the default prior to the discharge date, the Union will notify the Employer and the employee, and the Employer will not be required to discharge that employee.

Section 2.4 – Right to Work Jurisdictions. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an employee shall not be required to pay money to the Union, or to become a member of, or continue membership in, the Union as a condition of employment, if employed in any state, in any location other than an enclave wherein exclusive federal jurisdiction applies, which prohibits or otherwise makes unlawful payment to a labor organization or membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment.

Section 2.5 – Dues Check Off. The Employer will deduct initiation fees, union dues and financial core fees from the wages of employees who voluntarily authorize the Employer to do so on a properly executed payroll deduction card. Such deductions shall be made from the first paycheck of each month, or the first pay received in that month in which the employee has sufficient net earnings to cover the Union membership dues or payments.

Funds deducted with a monthly summary showing name, address, date of hire, hourly rate, dues or service fee paid or not paid, and employees who have been terminated or placed on leave of absence shall be remitted to the Secretary-Treasurer of the International Union, SPFPA within fifteen (15) days after the first regular payday of the month.

70RFPW23RW9000002 A0001 Page 7 of 87

Section 2.6 – Schedule of Dues and Fees. The Union agrees it will promptly furnish to the Employer a written schedule of the Union dues, initiation fees, and proportionate share payments. The Union also agrees to promptly notify the Employer in writing of any changes to these amounts. Union authorization cards must be submitted prior to the fifteenth (15th) of the month proceeding the date that deductions are to be made.

Section 2.7 – Employer Indemnification. The Union agrees to indemnify the Employer against any loss or claim which may arise as a result of the Employer's compliance with the Union membership or check off articles. In addition, the Union agrees to return to the Employer any erroneous or improper overpayment made to it.

ARTICLE 3

UNION RIGHTS

Section 3.1. Stewards.

A. Recognition. The Employer recognizes the right of the Union to designate shop stewards. The Employer agrees to recognize the maximum of one (1) Chief Shop Steward for all employees and two (2) stewards for each work shift. Within sixty

(60) business days of the execution of this Agreement, the Union shall furnish to the Employer, in writing, the names of each of the Union’s designated stewards.

Changes to these assignments shall be provided by the Union to the Employer, in writing, at least five (5) business days of such change becoming effective.

B. Steward Authority. The authority of Stewards shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the following duties and activities: representation of employees in disciplinary interviews consistent with Section 12.6 of this Agreement and as permitted under the National Labor Relations Act; the investigation and presentation of grievances in accordance with this Agreement; the transmission of such information messages to and from the Union, which shall originate with and are authorized by the Union’s Officers, provided such messages have been reduced to writing; and the right to bring a grievance to the Employer’s attention at the time of the occurrence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such duties shall be conducted during non-working time and may not interfere with operations of the Employer. Such activities may be conducted during working time, in exceptional cases, where agreed upon by the Employer, but neither the Steward nor the employee shall depart from their normal job assignment without informing their immediate supervisor and disclosing the reason for such departure.

Stewards or other employees, who conduct Union business on working time, in violation of this provision, shall be subject to discipline under Article 12 of this Agreement. Provided that, it is expressly agreed and understood between the Parties that the Employer may schedule disciplinary interviews consistent with Section 12.6 of this Agreement during working time.

Section 3.2 – Union Postings. The Employer shall make a bulletin board available for use by the Union for the posting of notices at each work location (building).

The Employer reserves the right to remove any item deemed derogatory to the Employer, Employer client, or Employer subsidiaries. Union postings shall be approved by the Employer’s contract manager prior to posting. In the event that the contract manager denies a Union posting, the Union shall be allowed to appeal to the Employer’s human resources manager. The decision of the Employer’s human resources manager shall be final. This article is not subject to grievance or arbitration.

Section 3.3 – Union Activities. Neither Union officials nor employees shall, during the working time of any employees (excluding breaks and lunches) participating, solicit membership, receive applications, hold meetings of any kind for the transaction of Union business, or conduct any Union activity other than the handling of grievances to the extent such work time activity is specifically allowed by the Employer.

Section 3.4 – Government Cooperation. The parties recognize that they are providing a service to the United States Government. Therefore, the administration of the terms of this Agreement is subject to the wishes of the Government. The DHS/FPS may supersede any understanding regarding assignments, hours, shifts, credentials, qualifications, etc., as the DHS/FPS deems to be in the interest of the Government. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, to the extent the Government requires compliance with specific procedures (e.g., security clearances, medical examinations, weapon proficiency testing, uniforms/appearance standards, staffing determinations, assignments, work rules, drug testing, etc.), or with the requirements of the Service Contract Act, the Employer shall notify the Union and meet and confer with the Union regarding the impacts of such change.

ARTICLE 7

WAGES

Section 7.1 – Straight Time Rate of Pay. The Employer agrees to pay Employees the following hourly wage rate (“Straight Time Rate of Pay”):

Current October 1, 2023 October 1, 2024 October 1, 2025

$27.50 $29.15 $30.61 $32.14

Clearance Premium Pay – Employees who possess a Top-Secret Security Clearance and work at any post on the contract requiring a Top-Secret clearance shall be paid an additional one dollar ($1.00) per hour for all hours worked at that post requiring a Top-Secret Clearance. Any other paid hours (i.e. Training, Travel, Vacation, Sick Leave, and Holiday Pay) shall not receive the aforementioned premium pay.

Section 7.2 – Overtime Pay. Overtime pay is calculated at one and one-half (1½) times the employee’s straight rate for all hours of work in excess of forty (40) hours of actual work in any single workweek and or more than twelve (12) in any single day. There will not be any pyramiding of hours worked. Only hours actually worked will be recognized in determining overtime eligibility.

Section 7.3 – Reporting Pay. An Employee called in to work will be guaranteed a minimum of four (4) hours of work, or if Company deems four (4) hours of work is not available, Employee will be paid for a minimum of four (4) hours' time.

Call in is defined as anytime an Employee is required to report to duty when he/she has not been previously scheduled to work.

70RFPW23RW9000002 A0001 Page 12 of 87

Should more than one employee be scheduled for and report for the same post, the most senior employee will be given the opportunity to work the post. The employee not working the post shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours of pay at his/her regular straight time hourly rate provided the error in scheduling is a company error and not an employee error.

In the event of scheduling error on the part of the company, the employee may be required to work at any post at the discretion of the employer.

Section 7.4 – Travel Time & Expenses. Employees will be reimbursed for all necessary and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with approved travel on Employer business, subject to the limitations set forth below.

A. All reimbursable travel expenses must be authorized in writing, in advance, by the Employee’s supervisor or contract manager.

B. Travel Time: The following principles shall apply in determining whether time spent in travel is compensable time:

1. Home to Work Travel (Ordinary Commute): An employee who travels from home before his or her regular workday and returns home at the end of the workday is engaged in ordinary home-to-work travel and shall not receive mileage or payment for compensable working time. This rule applies regardless of whether the Employee works at a fixed location or at different job sites.

2. Temporary/Special assignment: When an Employee regularly assigned to a post at a fixed location is required to work a temporary/special assignment in another city, which is farther from the Employee’s residence than the regular, fixed assignment, the travel time in excess of the commute to the regular, fixed post assignment (as documented by MapQuest) shall be compensated at the current straight time rate of pay for the additional travel time to and from the temporary special assignment. The Employee shall additionally be reimbursed mileage at the rate of $.53/mile, minus the employee’s normal commute mileage. Effective October 1, 2023, Employees shall be reimbursed mileage at the rate of $.65/mile, minus the employee’s normal commute mileage. Employees not assigned a regular, fixed post (e.g., roving officers or on-call officers) shall not be entitled to compensation under this section.

3. Travel That is All In A Day’s Work: Time spent by an Employee in travel as part of his/her principal activity, such as travel from job site to job site during the working day shall be counted as working time. Normally, “Travel that is all in a Day’s Work” is applicable to an Employee who begins work at one location then travels to one or more additional locations during the day.

Such travel time shall be compensated at the current straight time rate of pay. The Employee shall additionally be reimbursed mileage at the rate of $.53/mile, minus the employee’s normal commute mileage. Effective October 1, 2023, Employees shall be reimbursed mileage at the rate of $.65/mile, minus the employee’s normal commute mileage.

70RFPW23RW9000002 A0001 Page 13 of 87

Section 7.5 – Undisputed Error. In case of an undisputed error on the part of the Employer as to an employee’s pay, proper adjustment will be made within three (3) business days for undisputed errors over $100.00 after the Company is given written notification of the error in accordance with the Company’s payroll discrepancy procedures. All other such undisputed errors will be made on the next paycheck.

Employees shall notify the Company of all errors on the part of the Company as to an employee’s pay within the shorter of: (1) five business days of learning of the error, or

(2) five business days of when the employee should have known by reasonable diligence of the error. It is expressly agreed and understood that this Section shall apply, without limitation, to those instances where an employee has separated from employment and believes that his/her final pay was incorrect.

Section 7.6 – Direct Deposit. Employees shall participate in the Employer’s direct deposit program.

Section 7.7 – Personal Data.
