 Exhibit 10.16 

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND REPLACED WITH “[***]”. SUCH IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN
REDACTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS (1) NOT MATERIAL AND (2) THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL. 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 18, 2019 (the “Effective
Date”) between Spaceflight Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Brian Daum (“Executive”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or each individually referred to
as a “Party”). 
 R E C I T A L S 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer and to enter into an agreement
embodying the terms of such employment; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to accept such employment and enter into such an agreement. 

A G R E E M E N T 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows: 

1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 

(a) Positions and Duties. As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In this role,
Executive will also be assigned duties as are commonly assigned to a Chief Operating Officer. The salary, benefits, and other compensation provided to Executive hereunder are intended to compensate Executive for all work performed for the Company
and at the Company’s direction, whether for the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of Executive’s duties, consistent with Executive’s
position within the Company, or otherwise, as shall reasonably and lawfully be assigned to Executive by the Company’s President, or, at any time the Company’s President role is unfilled, by the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) and, as such, from and after the date hereof, Executive shall report directly to and shall be subject to the direction of the Company’s President or the Board, as applicable. Such duties may include, but not be limited
to, activities such as overseeing cross-functional organizational operations to ensure effective financial and operational procedures are in place to drive sustainable growth and meet business goals. In performing Executive’s duties hereunder,
Executive shall be available for reasonable travel as the needs of the business require. The period of Executive’s at-will employment under the terms of this Agreement is referred to herein as the
“Employment Term.” 
 (b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will perform Executive’s duties
faithfully and to the best of Executive’s ability and will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment,
occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior written approval of the Board. 
 2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and, as such, may be terminated at any time
with or without cause, for any reason or no reason. Executive further understands and agrees that neither Executive’s job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the
basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of Executive’s employment with the Company. 












 3. Compensation. 

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for Executive’s services a base salary
at a rate of $275,000 per year, as may be modified from time to time at the discretion of the Board or a duly constituted committee of the Board (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid in regular installments in accordance
with the Company’s normal payroll practices (subject to required withholdings). Any modification in Base Salary (together with the then existing Base Salary) shall serve as the “Base Salary” for future employment under this Agreement.
The first and last payment will be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect a commencement or termination date other than the first or last working day of a pay period. 

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus, as described in and subject to the terms of this Section 3(b),
based upon the achievement of certain Company and individual goals as determined by the Company in its discretion after consultation with Executive (the “Annual Bonus”). The Board will determine in its reasonable discretion whether the
performance objectives for any Annual Bonus have been achieved. In connection with the Annual Bonus, subject to the corresponding performance levels being achieved, the Executive shall be eligible for an annual target bonus of 50% of the
Executive’s then-applicable Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) with an annual maximum bonus equal to 100% of the Target Bonus. The Target Bonus amount may be modified from time to time at the discretion of the Board or a duly
constituted committee of the Board. 
 Any such Annual Bonus will be determined and, to the extent earned, paid on an annual basis, at the time and manner
in which such bonuses are normally paid to employees at Executive’s level, but in no event will such payment be made later than March 15 of the year following the year such Annual Bonus was earned. Receipt of any Annual Bonus is contingent
upon Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the date the Annual Bonus is earned and any Annual Bonus for a calendar year will not be considered earned if Executive’s employment terminates on or before December 31 of
the corresponding calendar year. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 below, no “prorated” or partial bonus will be provided in the event of Executive’s earlier separation from employment. 

(d) Equity. It will be recommended to the Board that it grant Executive a stock option to purchase 3,361,045 shares of the
Company’s common stock (the “Option”). The exercise price per share for the Option will be the fair market value of an underlying share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board in a
manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (as defined below). The vesting schedule of the Option will be as follows: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest on the one (1) year
anniversary of the Effective Date; and (ii) one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter on the same day of the month as the Effective Date
(and if there is no corresponding day, on the last day of the month), subject to Executive continuing to be a service provider to the Company on each such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control, (A) fifty percent
(50%) of the unvested shares subject to the Option shall vest upon the closing of such Change in Control and (B) the remaining fifty percent of the unvested shares subject to the Option shall vest upon the earlier of (I) the termination of
Executive’s employment without Cause 

  
 -2- 













 
or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason during the 12-month period immediately following the Change in Control or (II) twelve (12) months
following the Change in Control (collectively, such acceleration terms, the “Option Acceleration”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Conditions Precedent described in Section 8(b) shall apply to the Option Acceleration in the
event of clause (I) in the preceding sentence. The Option shall be subject to the terms, definitions and conditions, including vesting requirements, of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and a
stock option agreement between Executive and the Company (the “Option Agreement”), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the
grant confer any right to continue vesting or employment. 
 4. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be
eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to similarly-situated senior executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable policies
and plans. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time. 

5. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, the Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable business travel, entertainment or
other business expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. Except
as expressly provided otherwise herein, no reimbursement payable to the Executive pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of the Company shall be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred, and no such reimbursement during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to
reimbursement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the final regulations and any formal guidance
issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). 
 6. Termination on Death or Disability. 

(a) Effectiveness. Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or, upon fourteen
(14) days prior written notice from the Company, in the event of Disability. 
 (b) Effect of Termination. Upon any termination
for death or Disability, Executive shall be entitled to: (i) Executive’s Base Salary through the effective date of termination; (ii) the right to continue health care benefits under Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, at Executive’s cost, to the extent required and available by law; (iii) reimbursement of expenses for which Executive is entitled
to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5 above, but for which Executive has not yet been reimbursed; and (iv) no other severance or benefits of any kind, unless required by law or pursuant to any other written Company plans or policies, as
then in effect. 

  
 -3- 













 7. Involuntary Termination for Cause; Resignation.  

(a) Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any
time for Cause or Executive may resign from Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Good Reason. Termination for Cause, or Executive’s resignation (without Good Reason, as defined below), shall be effective on the date
either Party gives notice to the other Party of such termination or resignation under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. A resignation that is accelerated by the Company shall continue to be construed as a resignation under this
Agreement. 
 (b) Effect of Termination. In the case of the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, or
Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive: (i) Executive’s Base Salary through the effective date of the termination or resignation, as applicable; (ii) reimbursement of all business
expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5 above, but for which Executive has not yet been reimbursed; (iii) the right to continue health care benefits under COBRA for Executive and Executive’s
eligible dependents, at Executive’s cost, to the extent required and available by law; and (iv) no other severance or benefits of any kind, unless required by law or pursuant to any other written Company plans or policies, as then in
effect. 
 8. Involuntary Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason.  

(a) Effect of Termination. The Company shall also be entitled to terminate Executive without Cause at any time, and Executive shall be
entitled to resign from employment with the Company for Good Reason, subject to the following: 
 (i) If, outside of the Change in Control
Period (as defined below), Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (excluding any termination due to death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then, subject to the
limitations of Sections 10 and 11 below, Executive shall be entitled to receive: (A) Executive’s Base Salary through the date of termination; (B) continuing severance pay at a rate equal to
one-hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s monthly Base Salary, as then in effect (less applicable withholdings), for a period of six (6) months from the date of such termination, to be paid
periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; (C) subject to Section 8(c) below, if Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive
and Executive’s eligible dependents, reimbursement for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (1) the maximum period of COBRA
eligibility under the law, but not to exceed six (6) months from Executive’s date of termination from employment with the Company, or (2) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under
similar plans; (D) an amount equal to Executive’s then-applicable Target Bonus opportunity, prorated based on a fraction equal to the number of days that Executive remained employed with the Company during the year in which the termination
or resignation occurs, divided by 365; (E) reimbursement of all expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5 above, but for which Executive has not yet been reimbursed; and (F) no other severance or
benefits of any kind, unless required by law or pursuant to any written Company plans or policies, as then in effect. 

  
 -4- 













 (ii) If, during the period beginning on and ending six (6) months after a Change in
Control (the “Change in Control Period”), Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (excluding any termination due to death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then,
subject to the limitations of Sections 10 and 11 below, Executive shall be entitled to receive: (A) Executive’s Base Salary through the date of termination; (B) continuing severance pay at a rate equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s monthly Base Salary, as then in effect (less applicable withholding), for a period of six (6) months from the date of such termination, to be paid in accordance
with the Company’s normal payroll practices; (C) an amount equal to Executive’s then-applicable Target Bonus opportunity, prorated based on a fraction equal to the number of days that Executive remained employed with the Company
during the year in which the termination or resignation occurs, divided by 365; (D) subject to Section 8(c) below, if Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and
Executive’s eligible dependents, reimbursement for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (1) the maximum period of COBRA eligibility
under the law, but not to exceed six (6) months from Executive’s date of termination from employment with the Company, or (2) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar
plans; (E) reimbursement of all expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5 above, but for which Executive has not yet been reimbursed; and (F) no other severance or benefits of any kind, other than
the Option Acceleration, unless required by law or pursuant to any written Company plans or policies, as then in effect. 
 (b)
Conditions Precedent. Any severance, equity acceleration, COBRA reimbursements, or other payments or benefits contemplated by Section 8(a) above are conditional on Executive: (i) continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement
and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 12(a) below); and (ii) signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, including, but not limited to, a general release
and other provisions required by the Company (the “Separation Agreement”) and provided that such Separation Agreement becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date or such
earlier date required by the Separation Agreement (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the Separation Agreement is not signed or is revoked by Executive prior to the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to
severance or benefits under Section 8(a), or elsewhere in this Agreement. Any severance payments under this Agreement that would not be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined in Section 10) will be paid on, or, in
the case of installments, will not commence until, the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable, except that any payment made under clause (D) of Section 8(a)(i) and 8(a)(ii)
relating to Executive’s target bonus severance (the “Bonus Severance”) will be paid during the first calendar quarter, but not later than March 15, of the year immediately following the year in which the termination of
Executive’s employment occurs (and intended to be paid generally at the same time as bonus payments are made to other participants of the Company’s bonus plan or program under which Executive’s bonus otherwise would have been payable
had Executive remained a participant thereunder), but no earlier than the date on which the Separation Agreement becomes effective and irrevocable; and any such installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the period prior to
the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. Any severance payments or other
benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits 

  
 -5- 













 
will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service (or with respect to any Bonus Severance, paid
on March 1 of the year immediately following the year in which Executive’s separation from service occurs), or, if later, such time as required by Section 10. Except as required by Section 10, any installment payments that would
have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s
separation from service and the remaining payments will be made as provided in this Agreement, unless subject to the six (6)-month payment delay under Section 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8(b) shall not limit
Executive’s ability to obtain expense reimbursements under Section 5 or any other compensation or benefits otherwise required by law or in accordance with written Company plans or policies, as then in effect. 

(c) The COBRA reimbursements under Section 8(a)(i) or Section 8(a)(ii), as applicable, will be made by the Company to Executive
consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA reimbursements without potentially violating, or
being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the
monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which
payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive
obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to six (6) monthly payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not
limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. 
 9. Definitions. 

(a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(i) Executive’s intentional and material failure to perform Executive’s lawful duties as assigned by the Company (other than any
such failure resulting from death or Disability); 
 (ii) Executive’s intentional and material breach of any fiduciary duty to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries; 
 (iii) Executive’s engagement in dishonesty, misrepresentation, illegal conduct, gross
negligence or gross misconduct related to Executive’s employment duties to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) that causes or could reasonably be anticipated to cause material harm to the Company; 

(iv) Executive’s embezzlement, misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to Executive’s employment with the Company; 

  
 -6- 













 (v) Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nobo contendere to a crime
that constitutes a felony; or Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nobo contendere to a crime that constitutes a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, if such misdemeanor is work-related, or otherwise impairs Executive’s
ability to perform services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or results in reputational or financial harm to the Company or any of subsidiaries or affiliates; 

(vi) Executive’s willful unauthorized disclosure of Company Confidential Information or Associated Third Party Confidential Information
(both as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement); or 
 (vii) Executive’s material breach of any material obligation under this
Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, or any other agreement between Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (b)
Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Equity Plan, as amended from time to time. 

(c) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” means that Executive, at
the time notice is given, has been unable to substantially perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement for not less than one-hundred and twenty (120) work days within a twelve
(12) consecutive month period as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable accommodation. 

(d) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means Executive’s termination of Executive’s
employment in accordance with the next sentence after the occurrence of one or more of the following events without Executive’s consent: 

(i) a material reduction of Executive’s material duties, authorities, or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such
reduction, including a reduction to divisional duties, authorities or responsibilities; provided, however, that continued employment by the Company, or transfer of employment to another entity with substantially the same duties, authorities, or
responsibilities with respect to the Company’s business and operations will not constitute “Good Reason”; and provided, further, that Executive’s cessation of employment with the Company but transfer of continued employment with
a subsidiary of the Company with substantially the same duties, authorities or responsibility with respect to Company’s business and operations also will not constitute “Good Reason”; or 

(ii) a material change in the geographic location of Executive’s primary work facility or location; provided, that a relocation of less
than 30 miles from Executive’s then present work location will not be considered a material change in geographic location; or 
 (iii)
a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary by more than ten percent (10%); provided, however, that a reduction in excess of ten percent (10%) shall not constitute “Good Reason” if it is made in connection with an across-the-board reduction by the Company of all base salaries for similarly situated employees by a percentage at least equal to the percentage by which Executive’s Base
Salary is reduced. 

  
 -7- 













 In order for Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment to be for Good Reason, Executive
must not terminate employment with the Company without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for
“Good Reason” and a cure period of 30 days following the date of written notice (the “Cure Period”), such grounds must not have been cured during such time, and Executive must terminate Executive’s employment within
30 days following the Cure Period. 
 10. Section 409A. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any,
pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, any references to termination of
employment, employment termination, or similar terms will mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred
Compensation Separation Benefits that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one
(1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this
paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to
each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(c) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (a) above. 

(d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (a) above. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive’s taxable
year preceding Executive’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service
guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 

  
 -8- 













 (e) To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, with respect to any
reimbursement or in-kind benefit plan or arrangement in which Executive participates, (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit in one calendar
year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit in any other calendar year, (ii) the right to the applicable reimbursement or benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange
for another benefit or payment, and (iii) to the extent there is any reimbursement of an expense, such reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and
(iv) except as specifically provided herein or in the applicable reimbursement arrangement, in-kind benefits will only be provided, and reimbursements will only be made for expenses incurred, during
Executive’s lifetime. 
 (f) This Agreement is intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that
none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted according to such intent. The Company and
Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual
payment to Executive under Section 409A. In no event will the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates have any liability or obligation to indemnify, reimburse, or hold harmless Executive for any taxes imposed, or other costs
incurred, as a result of Section 409A. 
 11. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the benefits provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (b) but for this Section 11 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits will be either (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in amounts to be paid must be made,
reduction shall occur in the following order: first, reduction of cash payments, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax
will be the first cash payment to be reduced; second, cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in the reverse order of date of
grant of the awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); third, cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, which shall occur in the reverse order of the date of grant for such stock awards (i.e., the
vesting of the most recently granted stock awards will be reduced first); and fourth, reduction of employee benefits, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the
event triggering such excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. In no event shall Executive
have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section will be made in writing by a nationally recognized certified
professional services firm selected by the Company, the Company’s legal counsel or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and


  
 -9- 













 
binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning
applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably
request in order to make a determination under this Section 11. The Company will bear all costs and make all payments for the Firm’s services reasonably required in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 11.

 12. Company Matters. 

(a) Proprietary Information and Inventions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition of employment, Executive is
required to sign and abide by the terms of the Company’s At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”),
including the arbitration agreement and provisions governing the non-disclosure of confidential information and restrictive covenants contained therein. A copy of the Confidentiality Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit A. 
 (b) Ventures. If, during Executive’s employment, Executive is engaged in or associated
with planning or implementing of any project, program or venture involving the Company and any third parties, all rights in such project, program or venture shall belong to the Company (or third party, to the extent provided in any agreement between
the Company and the third party). Except as approved by the Board in writing, Executive shall not be entitled to any interest in such project, program or venture or to any commission, finder’s fee or other compensation in connection therewith
other than the salary or other compensation to be paid to Executive as provided in this Agreement. 
 (c) Notification of New
Employer. In the event that Executive leaves the employ of the Company, Executive grants consent to notification by the Company to Executive’s new employer about Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
Confidentiality Agreement. 
 13. Arbitration. IN CONSIDERATION OF EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, ITS PROMISE TO
ARBITRATE ALL EMPLOYMENT-RELATED DISPUTES AND EXECUTIVE’S RECEIPT OF THE COMPENSATION, PAY RAISES AND OTHER BENEFITS PAID TO EXECUTIVE BY THE COMPANY, AT PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE, EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, OR
DISPUTES WITH ANYONE (INCLUDING THE COMPANY AND ANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, SHAREHOLDER OR BENEFIT PLAN OF THE COMPANY, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH OR OTHERWISE), ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE
COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH IN THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. 

14. Assignment. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company and accordingly any such successor of the
Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for such purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase,
merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of 

  
 -10- 













 
the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other
attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.

 SPACEFLIGHT INDUSTRIES, INC.  

AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, 

INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 

As a condition of my employment with Spaceflight Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment with
the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, I agree to the following provisions of this At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and
Arbitration Agreement (this “Agreement”): 
 1.
AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT 
 I
UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR NO SPECIFIED TERM AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED
AND NOT VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OR CEO OF THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT MY OPTION OR AT THE
OPTION OF THE COMPANY, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY MAY MODIFY JOB TITLES, SALARIES, AND BENEFITS FROM TIME TO TIME AS IT DEEMS NECESSARY. 

2. CONFIDENTIALITY 

A. Definition of Company Confidential Information. I understand that “Company Confidential Information”
means information (including any and all combinations of individual items of information) that the Company has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover or own, that has value in or to the Company’s business which is not generally
known and which the Company wishes to maintain as confidential. Company Confidential Information includes both information disclosed by the Company to me, and information developed or learned by me during the course of my employment with the
Company. Company Confidential Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Company, whether or not such information is identified as Company Confidential Information. By
example, and without limitation, Company Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the
Company, or to the Company’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and
markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on which I called or with which I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, discoveries,
ideas, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings
or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Confidential information shall not include any such information which I can establish (i) was publicly known or made generally
available prior to the time of disclosure by the Company to me; (ii) becomes publicly known or made generally available after disclosure by the Company to me through no wrongful action or omission by me; or (iii) is in my rightful
possession, without confidentiality obligations, at the time of disclosure by the Company as shown by my then-contemporaneous written records; provided that any combination of individual items of information shall not be deemed to be within any of
the foregoing exceptions merely because one or more of the individual items are within such exception, unless the combination as a whole is within such exception. I understand that nothing in this Agreement limits employees’ rights to discuss
the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law. 

  
 -15- 













 B. Nonuse and Nondisclosure. I agree that during and after my employment with
the Company, I will hold in the strictest confidence, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information. I will not (i) use Company Confidential Information for any purpose
whatsoever other than for the benefit of the Company in the course of my employment, or (ii) disclose Company Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization of the President, CEO, or the Board of Directors
of the Company. Prior to disclosure when compelled by applicable law; I shall provide prior written notice to the President, CEO, and General Counsel of the Company (as applicable). I agree that I obtain no title to any Company Confidential
Information, and that the Company retains all Confidential Information as the sole property of the Company. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during my employment may lead to disciplinary action,
up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. I understand that my obligations under this Section 2.B shall continue alter termination of my employment and also that nothing in this Agreement prevents
me from engaging in protected activity, as described in Section 14 below. 
 C. Former Employer Confidential Information. I
agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which I have an obligation to keep
such proprietary information or trade secrets in confidence. I further agree that I will not bring onto the Company’s premises or transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade
secrets belonging to any such third party unless disclosure to, and use by, the Company has been consented to in writing by such third party and the Company. 

D. Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received, and in the future may receive, from third parties (for
example, customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, and collaborators) as well as its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Associated Third Parties”), information which the Company is required to maintain and treat as
confidential or proprietary information of such Associated Third Parties (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”), and I agree to use such Associated Third Party Confidential Information only as directed by
the Company and to not use or disclose such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in a manner that would violate the Company’s obligations to such Associated Third Parties. By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential
Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties, and information related to the business conducted between the Company and such
Associated Third Parties. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter, that I owe the Company and its Associated Third Parties a duty to hold all such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in the strictest
confidence, and not to use it or to disclose it to any person, firm, corporation, or other third party except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. I
further agree to comply with any and all Company policies and guidelines that may be adopted from time to time regarding Associated Third Parties and Associated Third Party Confidential Information. I understand that my unauthorized use or
disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information or violation of any Company policies during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company.

If, in any judicial or arbitral proceeding, a court or arbitrator refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be revised, or if revision is not permitted it shall be
eliminated from this Agreement, to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of subsections (A) and (B) above are deemed to exceed the time, geographic
or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law. In the event that the applicable court or arbitrator does
not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, I and the Company agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term. 
 9. CONFLICT OF
INTEREST GUIDELINES 
 I agree to diligently adhere to all policies of the Company, including the
Company’s insider trading policies and the Company’s Conflict of Interest Guidelines. A copy of the Company’s current Conflict of Interest Guidelines is attached as Exhibit C hereto, but I understand that these Conflict of
Interest Guidelines may be revised from time to time during my employment. 
 10.
REPRESENTATIONS 
 Without limiting my obligations under Section 3.E above, I agree to
execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent and warrant that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information
acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I hereby represent and warrant that I have not entered into, and I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict herewith. 

11. AUDIT 

I acknowledge that I have no reasonable expectation of privacy in any Company Electronic Media Equipment or Company Electronic Media Systems.
All information, data, and messages created, received, sent, or stored in Electronic Media Equipment or Company Electronic Media Systems are, at all times, the property of the Company. As such, the Company has the right to audit and search all such
items and systems, without further notice to me, to ensure that the Company is licensed to use the software on the Company’s devices in compliance with the Company’s software licensing policies, to ensure compliance with the Company’s
policies, and for any other business-related purposes in the Company’s sole discretion. I understand that I am not permitted to add any unlicensed, unauthorized, or non-compliant applications to the Company’s technology systems, including,
without limitation, open source or free 

  
 -22- 













 
software not authorized by the Company, and that I shall refrain from copying unlicensed software onto the Company’s technology systems or using
non-licensed software or websites. I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with the Company’s policies governing use of the Company’s documents and the internet, email, telephone, and
technology systems to which I will have access in connection with my employment. In addition, as to any personal Electronic Media Equipment or personal Electronic Media Systems or other personal property that I have used for Company purposes, I
agree that the Company may have reasonable access to such personal Electronic Media Equipment or personal Electronic Media Systems or other personal property to review, retrieve, destroy, or ensure the permanent deletion of Company information from
such equipment or systems or property or take such other actions that are needed to protect the Company or Company property, as determined by the Company reasonably and in good faith. 

I am aware that the Company has or may acquire software and systems that are capable of monitoring and recording all Company network traffic
to and from any Company Electronic Media Equipment or Company Electronic Media Systems. The Company reserves the right to access, review, copy, and delete any of the information, data, or messages accessed through Company Electronic Media Equipment
or Company Electronic Media Systems, with or without notice to me and/or in my absence. This includes, but is not limited to, all e-mail messages sent or received, all website visits, all chat sessions, all
news group activity (including groups visited, messages read, and postings by me), and all file transfers into and out of the Company’s internal networks. The Company further reserves the right to retrieve previously deleted messages from e-mail or voicemail and monitor usage of the Internet, including websites visited and any information I have downloaded. In addition, the Company may review Internet and technology systems activity and analyze usage
patterns, and may choose to publicize this data to assure that technology systems are devoted to legitimate business purposes. 

12. ARBITRATION AND EQUITABLE RELIEF

 A. Arbitration. IN CONSIDERATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, ITS PROMISE TO ARBITRATE ALL EMPLOYMENT-RELATED DISPUTES
WITH ME, AND MY RECEIPT OF COMPENSATION AND OTHER COMPANY BENEFITS, AT PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE, I AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, OR DISPUTES THAT I MAY HAVE WITH THE COMPANY (INCLUDING ANY COMPANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR,
TRUSTEE, OR BENEFIT PLAN OF THE COMPANY, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH OR OTHERWISE), ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM MY EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY,
INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (THE “FAA”). THE FAA’S SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL RULES SHALL GOVERN AND APPLY TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT, AND ANY STATE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION MAY STAY PROCEEDINGS PENDING ARBITRATION OR COMPEL ARBITRATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS A FEDERAL COURT UNDER THE FAA. I FURTHER AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I MAY
BRING ANY SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDING ONLY IN MY INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING. DISPUTES THAT I AGREE TO ARBITRATE, AND THEREBY
AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, INCLUDE ANY STATUTORY CLAIMS UNDER LOCAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS UNDER TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE FAIR LABOR
STANDARDS ACT, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN 

  
 -23- 













 
EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967. THE OLDER WORKERS BENEFIT PROTECTION ACT, THE WORKER ADJUSTMENT AND RETRAINING NOTIFICATION ACT, THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT
OF 1974, THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT, CLAIMS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT STATUS. CLASSIFICATION AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY, CLAIMS OF HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION, WRONGFUL TERMINATION, BREACH OF CONTRACT, AND ANY STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW
CLAIMS. I ALSO AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION OR APPLICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, BUT NOT DISPUTES ABOUT THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO
ARBITRATE. WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THAT I AGREE TO ARBITRATE, I HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO WAIVE, AND DO WAIVE, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALSO APPLIES TO ANY DISPUTES THAT
THE COMPANY MAY HAVE WITH ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS I MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH AS THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT, INCLUDING ANY RIGHTS PROHIBITING COMPULSORY ARBITRATION. 

B. Procedure. I AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS, PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT
ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (THE “JAMS RULES”), WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/ AND FROM THE COMPANY. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE JAMS RULES SHALL NOT CONTRADICT OR OTHERWISE
ALTER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR WHO SHALL BE A FORMER FEDERAL OR STATE COURT JUDGE. THE ARBITRATION SHALL APPLY THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH RULES CONFLICT
WITH THE JAMS RULES. IF THE JAMS RULES CANNOT BE ENFORCED AS TO THE ARBITRATION, THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY WILL ARBITRATE THIS DISPUTE UNDER THE FAA AND PURSUANT TO THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN IN THE VIRGINIA UNIFORM ARBITRATION
ACT, VA. CODE SECTION 8.01-577 ET SEQ. (THE “THE RULES”). I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION
(“ARBITRATION COSTS”), EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. AND UNDERSTAND THAT EACH PARTY SHALL SEPARATELY PAY ITS RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS. IN THE EVENT THAT JAMS FAILS, REFUSES, OR OTHERWISE DOES NOT ENFORCE THE AFOREMENTIONED
ARBITRATION COSTS SHARING PROVISION, EITHER PARTY MAY COMMENCE AN ACTION TO RECOVER SUCH AMOUNTS AGAINST THE NON-PAYING PARTY IN COURT AND THE NON-PAYING PARTY SHALL
REIMBURSE THE MOVING PARTY FOR THE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION. I AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL CONSIDER AND SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ANY MOTIONS BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION, INCLUDING
MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND/OR ADJUDICATION, AND MOTIONS TO DISMISS, PRIOR TO ANY ARBITRATION HEARING. I AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ISSUE A WRITTEN DECISION ON THE MERITS. I ALSO AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD ANY
REMEDIES AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. I AGREE THAT THE DECREE OR AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED AS A FINAL AND BINDING JUDGMENT IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. I AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL APPLY SUBSTANTIVE
VIRGINIA LAW TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAW. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH SUBSTANTIVE VIRGINIA LAW, VIRGINIA LAW SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. I AGREE THAT THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE
IN WRITING. I AGREE THAT ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA. 

  
 -24- 













 C. Remedy. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY THE RULES AND THIS AGREEMENT, ARBITRATION SHALL BE
THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE AND FINAL REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN ME AND THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BY THE RULES OR THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER I NOR THE COMPANY WILL BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A COURT ACTION REGARDING
CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. 
 D. Availability of Injunctive Relief. I AGREE THAT ANY PARTY MAY ALSO PETITION THE
COURT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF WHERE EITHER PARTY ALLEGES OR CLAIMS A VIOLATION OF THE AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN ME AND THE COMPANY OR
ANY OTHER AGREEMENT REGARDING TRADE SECRETS, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NONCOMPETITION OR NONSOLICITATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT ANY BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH OF SUCH AN AGREEMENT WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE INJURY AND THAT MONEY DAMAGES WILL NOT PROVIDE AN
ADEQUATE REMEDY THEREFOR AND BOTH PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN INJUNCTION WITHOUT POSTING OF A BOND. IN THE EVENT EITHER PARTY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER REASONABLE COSTS AND
ATTORNEYS’ FEES WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE PREVAILING PARTY IN THE FINAL JUDGMENT, IF ANY. SUCH ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS SHALL BE RECOVERABLE ON WRITTEN DEMAND AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRIOR TO ENTRY OF A FINAL JUDGMENT, IF
ANY, BY THE COURT, AND MUST BE PAID WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER DEMAND OR ELSE SUCH AMOUNTS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE ACCRUAL OF INTEREST AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE MAXIMUM STATUTORY RATE. 

E. Administrative Relief I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PROHIBIT ME FROM PURSUING AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM WITH A
LOCAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE BODY OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO ENFORCE OR ADMINISTER LAWS RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE VIRGINIA DIVISION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
COMMISSION, THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BOARD. THIS AGREEMENT DOES, HOWEVER, PRECLUDE ME FROM PURSUING A COURT ACTION REGARDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY
LAW. 
 F. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I AM EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT
ANY DURESS OR UNDUE INFLUENCE BY THE COMPANY OR ANYONE ELSE. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I HAVE ASKED ANY QUESTIONS NEEDED FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS, CONSEQUENCES, AND BINDING EFFECT OF
THIS AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND IT, INCLUDING THAT I AM WAIVING MY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. FINALLY, I AGREE THAT I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY OF MY CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS 

A. Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. With the exception of the arbitration requirements set forth in Section 12
herein (to the extent governed by the FAA as indicated therein), this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to Virginia’s conflicts of law rules that may result in the application of the laws of
any jurisdiction other than Virginia. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under this Agreement, I hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts exercising jurisdiction over
Fairfax County, Virginia for any lawsuit filed against me by the Company. 

  
 -25- 













 B. Assignability. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors,
assigns, administrators, and other legal representatives, and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. The Associated Third Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement with respect to my
obligations in Section 2.D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s
relevant assets, whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, sale of assets or stock, or otherwise. For avoidance of doubt, the Company’s successors and assigns are authorized to enforce the Company’s rights under
this Agreement. 
 C. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits herein and any executed written offer letter
between me and the Company, to the extent such materials are not in conflict with this Agreement, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior written
and oral agreements, discussions, or representations between us, including, but not limited to, any representations made during my interview(s) or relocation negotiations. I represent and warrant that I am not relying on any statement or
representation not contained in this Agreement. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary, compensation, conditions or any other terms of my employment will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 

D. Headings. Headings are used in this Agreement for reference only and shall not be considered when interpreting this
Agreement. 
 E. Severability. If a court or other body of competent jurisdiction finds, or the Parties mutually believe, any
provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full
force and effect. 
 F. Modification, Waiver. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights
under this Agreement, will be effective unless in a writing signed by the President or CEO of the Company and me. Waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

 G. Survivorship. The rights and obligations of the Parties to this Agreement will survive termination of my employment with
the Company. 
 14. PROTECTED ACTIVITY NOT PROHIBITED

 I understand that nothing in this Agreement limits or prohibits me from filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating
or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”), including disclosing documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to,
or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, I agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company
Confidential Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. I further understand that I am not permitted to disclose the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product. In addition, I hereby
acknowledge that the Company has provided me with notice in compliance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 regarding immunity from liability for limited disclosures of trade secrets. The full text of the notice is attached in Exhibit D.

 EXHIBIT C 

SPACEFLIGHT INDUSTRIES, INC. CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES 

It is the policy of Spaceflight Industries, Inc. to conduct its affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to
adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers, employees, and independent contractors must avoid activities that are in conflict, or give the appearance of being in conflict, with these principles and with the
interests of the Company. The following are potentially compromising situations that must be avoided: 
 1. Revealing confidential
information to outsiders or misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding agreement.) 

2. Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors, or payments that may be deemed to constitute undue influence or
otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company. 
 3. Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve
divulging confidential information of the Company. 
 4. Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of
employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is, or appears to be, a personal or social involvement. 
 5. Initiating or
approving any form of personal or social harassment of employees. 
 6. Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers,
or competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company. 

7. Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers, or suppliers, 

8. Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company. 

9. Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any other employer or other person or entity
with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. 
 10. Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales, or markets with competing
companies or their employees. 
 11. Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices. 

12. Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions that are the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity. 

13. Engaging in any conduct that is not in the best interest of the Company. 

Each officer, employee, and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring
problem areas to the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in immediate termination of employment. 

Nothing in these guidelines is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their
employment, as protected by applicable law, including any rights an employee may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. Also, nothing in these guidelines limits or prohibits employees from filing a charge or complaint with,
or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National 

  
 -30- 













 
Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”), including disclosing documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the
Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, employees must take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company Confidential Information to any
parties other than the Government Agencies. Employees may not disclose the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product.

 EXHIBIT D 

SECTION 7 OF THE DEFEND TRADE SECRETS ACT OF 2016 

“... An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a
trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.... An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law
may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual—(A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the
trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”
