FORM
OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This
Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”)
is made as of ______, by and between Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc., a California
corporation (the “Company”), and __________(“Indemnitee”).

 

Whereas,
the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals as directors and officers;

 

Whereas,
the Articles of Incorporation authorize the Company to indemnify “agents” as such term is defined in Section 317 of the California
General Corporation Law, and the Bylaws require that the Company indemnify its agents in certain circumstances;

 

Whereas,
the Company believes that providing its directors and executive officers with standalone indemnification agreements is consistent with
standard practices of publicly-traded corporations, and that doing so will enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain
qualified directors and executive officers in a manner that will benefit the Company and its shareholders;

 

Whereas,
the Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company, as the case may
be, and has proffered this Agreement to Indemnitee as an additional inducement to serve in such capacity; and

 

Whereas,
Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director or officer of the Company, as the case may be, if Indemnitee is
furnished the indemnity provided for herein by the Company.

 

Now,
Therefore, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree
as follows:

 

Section
1. Service By Indemnitee. Indemnitee will serve, or continue to serve, as the case
may be, as an Agent, faithfully and to the best of his or her ability, at the will of such entity designated by the Company and at the
request of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity Indemnitee currently serves such entity,
so long as Indemnitee is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the governance documents
of such entity, or until such time as Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation in writing; provided, however, that nothing contained
in this Agreement is intended as an employment agreement between Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to create any
right to continued employment of Indemnitee with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any capacity.

 

Section
2. Indemnification.

 

(a)
Third Party Proceedings. In connection with any Proceeding other than those instituted by or in the right of the Company, the Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and Liabilities, in either case, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status unless the Company shall establish, in accordance with
the procedures described in Section 3 of this Agreement, that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or, (ii) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

    	1.

     

    

 

(b)
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. In connection with any Proceeding instituted by or in the right of the Company, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement,
in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status unless the Company shall establish, in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3 of this Agreement, that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made (i) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the Company in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that,
in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for Expenses or amounts paid
in settlement and then only to the extent that the court shall determine, (ii) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of
a Proceeding without court approval or (iii) of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding which is settled or otherwise disposed of
without court approval.

 

(c)
Witness Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her
Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

 

Section
3. Advancement of Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.

 

(a)
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding referenced
in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) of this Agreement (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such Proceeding). Indemnitee hereby
undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby or by Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law. Indemnitee’s
undertaking shall be in a form acceptable to the Company in its reasonable judgment. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid
by the Company to Indemnitee within 20 days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. Advances shall
be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such amounts and without
regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include
any and all Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding
statements to the Company to support the advances claimed.

 

    	2.

     

    

 

(b)
Notice; Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceeding in
respect of which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder. Notice to the Company shall be directed
to the General Counsel of the Company (or if there is no General Counsel of the Company or if the notice is being given by the General
Counsel of the Company, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) at the address shown in Section 16(a) of this Agreement (or such
other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). The omission by Indemnitee to so notify the Company will not
relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s
power. Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s
power.

 

(c)
Determination of Entitlement.

 

(i)
Where there has been a written notice by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 3(b), then as soon as is reasonably practicable
(but in any event not later than 60 days) after final disposition of the relevant Proceeding, the Company shall make a determination,
if and in the manner required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto; provided, however, that, if
a Change of Control shall have occurred, the determination shall be made by an Independent Counsel (selected pursuant to Section 3(c)(i))
in a written opinion to the Company’s Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is so determined
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee
shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information
that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective
of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification).

 

(ii)
If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by an Independent Counsel after a Change of Control pursuant to Section 3(c)(i),
such Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the
identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, the
Company may deliver to Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only
on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined
in Section 13(a) of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent
a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as the Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as the Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn
or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the final disposition
of the Proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition
a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company to Indemnitee’s selection
of the Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as the Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person
as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act
as the Independent Counsel under Section 3(c)(i) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 4(a)
of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to
the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

 

    	3.

     

    

 

(iii)
The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel serving under this Agreement.

 

(d)
Presumptions and Burdens of Proof.

 

(i)
In making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination
shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and
the Company shall have, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with
the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the person, persons or entity to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the person, persons or entity that Indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.

 

(ii)
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely
affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(iii)
For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action
is in good faith reliance on the records or books of account of any Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied
to Indemnitee by the officers of such Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for such Enterprise
or on information or records given or reports made to such Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser
or other expert selected by such Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit
in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in this Agreement.

 

(e)
Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement, the Company
has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to
the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. Thereafter, the Company shall take all necessary
or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

    	4.

     

    

 

(f)
Relationship to Other Sources. Indemnitee shall not be required to exercise any rights against any other parties (for example, under
any insurance policy purchased by the Company, Indemnitee or any other person or entity) before Indemnitee enforces this Agreement. However,
to the extent the Company actually indemnifies Indemnitee or advances Expenses, the Company shall be entitled to enforce any such rights
that Indemnitee may have against third parties. Indemnitee shall assist the Company in enforcing those rights if the Company pays Indemnitee’s
reasonable costs and expenses of doing so.

 

(g)
Defense of Claims; Selection of Counsel.

 

(i)
The Company shall not settle any action, claim, or Proceeding (in whole or in part) that would impose any Expense, judgment, fine,
penalty or limitation on Indemnitee, without Indemnitee’s prior written consent; provided, however, that, with respect to settlements
requiring solely the payment of money either by the Company or by Indemnitee for which the Company is obligated to reimburse Indemnitee
promptly and completely, in either case without recourse to Indemnitee, no such consent of Indemnitee shall be required. Indemnitee shall
not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) that would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation
on the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

(ii)
In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 3(a) of this Agreement to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee,
the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such
notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i)
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii)
if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have concluded in
good faith that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee or between Indemnitee and any other persons represented
by the same counsel, in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company, in fact, shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense
of such Proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

 

Section
4. Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)
In the event of any dispute between Indemnitee and the Company hereunder as to entitlement to indemnification, contribution or advancement
of Expenses (including where (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Agreement, (iii)
payment of Expenses pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) of this Agreement is not made within 10 days after a determination has been made that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, (iv) no determination as to entitlement to indemnification is timely made pursuant to Section
3(c) of this Agreement, or (v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement), then Indemnitee
shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification, contribution or advancement.

 

    	5.

     

    

 

(b)
In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 4 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial
on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant
to this Section 4, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses,
as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement
adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall not
be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 3(a) until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

 

(c)
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 4, absent (i) a misstatement
by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading,
in connection with such determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law.

 

(d)
The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial commenced pursuant to this Section 4 that the procedures and presumptions
of this Agreement are not valid, binding or enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions
of this Agreement.

 

(e)
The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with any judicial proceeding brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advances of Expenses by the Company (or otherwise for the
enforcement, interpretation or defense of his or her rights) under this Agreement or any other agreement, including any other indemnification,
contribution or advancement agreement, or any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect or (ii)
recovery or advances under any directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee
ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, contribution, advancement or insurance recovery, as the case may be;
provided, however, that this Section 4(e) shall not apply if, as part of such judicial proceeding, the court of competent jurisdiction
determines that the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such judicial proceeding were not made in good faith or were
frivolous.

 

    	6.

     

    

 

Section
5. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.

 

(a)
Scope. The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in
excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Articles of Incorporation
or the Bylaws. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, in the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable
law, statute or rule that expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its or a Subsidiary’s Board of
Directors or an officer, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations,
under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule that narrows the right of a California corporation
to indemnify a member of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company or a Subsidiary, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights
and obligations hereunder.

 

(b)
Nonexclusivity. The rights of indemnification, contribution and advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, any
vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the California General Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s
official capacity and as to action or inaction in another capacity while holding such office.

 

(c)
Survival. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while
serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any covered Proceeding
is commenced.

 

Section
6. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement
to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses and Liabilities actually or reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
in any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion
of such Expenses and Liabilities to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

Section
7. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that, in certain
instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement
or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future in certain circumstances
to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court for a determination of
the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

 

Section
8. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains
an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance to individuals serving in a Corporate Status (“D&O Insurance”),
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available
for any such individuals serving in a Corporate Status under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a
claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect or otherwise potentially available, the Company shall
give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee,
all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

    	7.

     

    

 

Section
9. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification
provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee,
shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Liabilities and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding
relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances
of such Proceeding in order to reflect (1) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or
transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and (2) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and
agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

Section
10. Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed
as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court
order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be severable as provided in this Section 10. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any
court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

 

Section
11. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

(a)
Excluded Acts. To indemnify Indemnitee for (i) any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director, officer, employee or
agent may not be relieved of liability under applicable law or (ii) for breach of duty to the Company or its shareholders as to circumstances
in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law; or

 

(b)
Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification
under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law,
but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Company’s Board of
Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding; or

 

(c)
Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted
by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the material assertions made
by the Indemnitee in such Proceeding were not made in good faith or were frivolous; or

 

(d)
Duplicate Payments. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or Liabilities to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment with
respect to such Expenses or Liabilities pursuant to (i) a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained
by the Company, (ii) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iii) Section 317 or any other applicable provisions of the California
General Corporation Law; or

 

    	8.

     

    

 

(e)
Claims under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute; or

 

(f)
Claims under Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. To indemnify Indemnitee for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus
or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company,
as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company
pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale
by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

 

Section
12. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date set
forth on the first page and shall apply to acts or omissions of Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was serving
in any Corporate Status at the time such act or omission occurred.

  EXHIBIT 10.2

  ROCKET LAB USA, INC.

  AMENDED AND RESTATED NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

   

  The purpose of this Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) of Rocket Lab USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to provide a total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber directors who are not employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries (“Outside Directors”). In furtherance of the purpose stated above, effective as of June 23, 2022 for all Sections other than Section I below and effective as of July 1, 2022 for the cash retainers as set forth in Section I below (as applicable, the “Effective Date”), all Outside Directors shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as set forth below:

  I.Cash Retainers

  a.Annual Retainer for Board Membership:  $50,000 for general availability and participation in meetings and conference calls of our Board of Directors, to be paid quarterly in arrears, pro-rated based on the number of actual days served by the director during such calendar quarter. No additional compensation for attending individual Board of Directors meetings.

  b.Additional Annual Retainers for Committee Membership:

  	Audit Committee Chairperson:	$20,000

  	Audit Committee member: 	$10,000

  	Compensation Committee Chairperson: 	$15,000

  	Compensation Committee member: 	$7,500

  	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson: 	$10,000

  	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee member: 	$4,000

  c.Additional Retainer for Non-Executive Chairperson or Lead Director of the Board of Directors: $27,500 to acknowledge the additional responsibilities and time commitment of the Chairperson role, or in the absence of a Chairperson, $20,000 for the Outside Director designated Lead Director.

   

  II.Equity Retainers

  All grants of equity retainer awards to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

  (a)Value.  For purposes of this Policy, “Value” means with respect to (i) any award of stock options the grant date fair value of the option (i.e., Black-Scholes Value) determined in accordance with the reasonable assumptions and methodologies employed by the Company for calculating the fair value of options under ASC Topic 718; and (ii) any award of restricted stock and restricted stock units the product of (A) the average closing market price on the NASDAQ (or such other market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then principally listed) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock over the trailing 30-trading day period ending on the last day immediately prior to the grant date and (B) the aggregate number of shares pursuant to such award.

   

   

   

  

   

  a.Sale Event Acceleration.  In the event of a Sale Event (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2021 Plan”)), the equity retainer awards granted to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy shall become 100% vested and exercisable.

  b.Initial Grant. Upon initial election to the Board of Directors, each new Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time grant of restricted stock units (the “Initial Grant”) with a Value of $360,000, that vests in three equal annual installments over three years; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the Outside Director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation or acceleration of vesting.  This Initial Grant applies to Outside Directors who are first elected to the Board of Directors effective as of or subsequent to the Effective Date.  

  c.Annual Grant. On the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders,  each Outside Director who will continue as a member of the Board of Directors following such Annual Meeting of Stockholders will receive a grant of restricted stock units on the date of such Annual Meeting (the “Annual Grant”) with a Value of $180,000, that vests in full on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the Outside Director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation or acceleration of vesting.  If a new Outside Director joins our Board of Directors on a date other than the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then in lieu of the above, such Outside Director will be granted a pro-rata portion of the Annual Grant at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders based on the time between such Outside Director’s appointment and such next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

  III.Expenses

  The Company will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Outside Directors in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof.

  IV.Maximum Annual Compensation

  The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any Outside Director in a calendar year period shall not exceed (i) $1,000,000 in the first calendar year an individual becomes an Outside Director and (ii) $650,000 in any other year (or in each case, such other limits as may be set forth in Section 3(b) of the 2021 Plan or any similar provision of a successor plan).  For this purpose, the “amount” of equity compensation paid in a calendar year shall be determined based on the grant date fair value thereof, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718 or its successor provision, but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.
