providing supporting information of applicable exemptions. VG is not responsible for any Taxes based on AFS’s income, payroll, or gross receipts.
5.INCENTIVES
1.Each Task Order shall contain an incentive plan set forth in Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) of the Task Order that will contain one or more of the following elements. Each of these elements is subject to change in accordance with Article 23 (Changes), or due to Excusable Delay in accordance with Article 17 (Excusable Delay).
2.Cost Incentive
a.For any T&M Task Order designated as containing a “Cost Incentive,” Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) of the Task Order will establish the following factors:
i.“Target Price” is the dollar value established for a Task Order that is used in the computation of any Savings Incentive earned by AFS or discount to be applied to Charges invoiced by AFS to VG.  An original Target Price is established at the time the Parties enter into a Task Order.  The Target Price will be adjusted as appropriate due to Changes in accordance with Article 23 (Changes), including but not limited to the realization of risks not included in the original Target Price.  The Target Price may be less than, equal to, or greater than the NTE for a T&M Task Order since the Target Price is used to compute the Savings Incentive or discount rather than the maximum Charges.  
ii.“Initial Discount” is a percentage that represents the discount to be applied by AFS to any Charges invoiced by AFS to VG in excess of the Target Price. 
iii.“Additional Discount Threshold” is the dollar amount above which the Additional Discount will apply. 
iv.“Additional Discount” is a percentage that represents the discount to be applied by AFS to any Charges invoiced by AFS to VG in excess of the Additional Discount Threshold.  
v.“Savings Incentive” is a percentage that represents the amount of any cost savings below the Target Price that AFS will be paid by VG. 
a.Cost Incentives shall be applicable only to T&M Task Orders.
b.For any Task Order containing a Cost Incentive, if the Charges for such Task Order exceed the Target Price, AFS shall apply the Initial Discount to any invoiced amount in excess of the Target Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Target Price is exceeded in an invoice, then AFS will apply the Initial Discount only to the portion of that invoice that exceeds the Target Price and then to all subsequent invoices for that Task Order.
c.If further Charges on a Task Order containing a Cost Incentive exceed the Additional Discount Threshold, AFS shall apply both the Initial Discount and 

[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item (601)(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

the Additional Discount to any invoiced amount in excess of the Additional Discount Threshold. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Additional Discount is additive to the Initial Discount, such that the Initial Discount and the Additional Discount shall both apply to any Charges in excess of the Additional Threshold Discount, and (ii) if the Additional Discount Threshold is exceeded in an invoice, then AFS will apply the Additional Discount only to the portion of that invoice that exceed the Additional Discount Threshold and then to all subsequent invoices for that Task Order.
d.If the total Charges for all work completed on any Task Order containing a Cost Incentive are less than the Target Price, VG will pay to AFS the amount calculated by multiplying the Savings Incentive by the difference between the total Charges for all work completed under such Task Order and the Target Price. This amount will be payable by VG upon completion of the Task Order in accordance with Article 4 (Payments).
3.Schedule Incentive
a.For any Task Order designated as containing a “Schedule Incentive,” Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) of the Task Order will establish the following factors:
i.“Completion Date” is the date that the Parties have agreed is the last date of the period of performance of a Task Order.
ii.“Target Date” is the date established for a Task Order that is used in the computation of any Schedule Incentive earned by AFS.  An original Target Date is established at the time the Parties enter into a Task Order. The Target Date will be adjusted as appropriate due to Changes in accordance with Article 23 (Changes), including but not limited to the realization of risks not included in the original Target Price, and Excusable Delays in accordance with Article 17 (Excusable Delays).  The Target Date may be earlier than, the same as, or later than the Completion Date since the Completion Date is used to determine whether the Schedule Incentive is earned.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Date may the date for a significant Deliverable or milestone; the Target Date need not be completion of the Task Order.
iii.“AFS Contribution” is the dollar amount or percentage (as indicated in Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) to Task Orders) that VG will withhold from each invoice payable for such Task Order as a contribution to the Schedule Incentive Pool (as defined below). 
iv.“VG Contribution” means the dollar amount or percentage (as indicated in Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) to Task Orders) that VG will contribute to the Schedule Incentive Pool (as defined below). 
v.“Target Aircraft Acceptance Date” means the date anticipated for Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft and will be used to determine  the eligibility of payment of the “Program Schedule Risk Pool” (as defined below).

[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item (601)(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

e.For each invoice under a Task Order containing a Schedule Incentive, VG will withhold payment for such invoice in the amount of the AFS Contribution. VG will add each AFS Contribution and VG Contribution to a “Schedule Incentive Pool,” which is the sum of AFS Contributions and VG Contributions applicable to such Task Order.
f.If substantially all work under a Task Order containing a Schedule Incentive is completed on or before the Target Date, AFS shall be deemed to have earned the Schedule Incentive Pool applicable to such Task Order. For purposes of this Article 5 (Incentives), work on a Task Order is “substantially” complete when no Class 1 action items remain to be dispositioned pursuant to Section 1.2.1.3 (Conditions of Acceptance) of Exhibit C (Governance) under the final milestone listed in Attachment 6 (Milestone Schedule) of such Task Order, or in the case of Task Order 5, upon Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft. Any earned Schedule Incentive for completed Task Order(s) will be payable by VG in accordance with Article 4 (Payments).
g.If substantially all work under a Task Order containing a Schedule Incentive is completed between one (1) and [***] calendar days of the Target Date, AFS shall be deemed to have earned fifty percent (50%) of the Schedule Incentive Pool applicable to such Task Order. The amount of the Schedule Incentive Pool will be payable by VG in accordance with Article 4 (Payments).  The unearned portion of the AFS Contributions under such Task Order will be added to the “Program Schedule Risk Pool.” VG shall be entitled to retain the unearned portion of the VG Contributions, and AFS hereby waives any claim to receive the unearned portion of the VG Contributions under such Task Order.
h.If substantially all work under a Task Order containing a Schedule Incentive is completed more than [***] calendar days after the Target Date, the Schedule Incentive Pool applicable to such Task Order will be added to a “Program Schedule Risk Pool.”
i.If Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft occurs on or before the date for such event set forth in Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) of the Task Order most recently executed or modified by the Parties (“Target Aircraft Acceptance Date”), the full amount of the “Program Schedule Risk Pool” will be payable by VG upon Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft in accordance with Article 4 (Payments).  The Target Aircraft Acceptance Date is subject to change in accordance with Article 23 (Changes), or due to Excusable Delay in accordance with Article 17 (Excusable Delay).
j.If Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft occurs on after the Target Aircraft Acceptance Date, VG shall be entitled to retain the entire Program Schedule Risk Pool, and AFS hereby waives any claim to receive any portion of the Program Schedule Risk Pool.
k.For any FP Task Order(s) relating to any Aircraft subsequent to the first Accepted Aircraft, the Schedule Incentive mechanism described above shall apply, except that no Program Schedule Risk Pool will be created, and AFS’s eligibility to receive the Schedule Incentive for each such Task Order shall be determined as of the completion of the work under such Task Order. 

[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item (601)(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

l.The Parties agree that each Task Order except Task Order 1 shall contain a Schedule Incentive and that no Schedule Incentive shall apply to Task Order 1.
4.Performance Incentive
b.For Task Orders 2 and 5, a “Performance Incentive” described in Attachment 5 (Incentive Plan) of the Task Order will establish the following factors:
i.“Measured Value” means the value of each of the Performance Criteria as derived using the Measurement Methodology.
ii.“Performance Criterion” or “Performance Criteria” is one or more technical performance parameters for the performance of the first Accepted Aircraft. 
iii.“Measurement Methodology” is the methodology by which each Measured Value will be compared to the applicable Threshold Value and Objective Value. For the avoidance of doubt, the Measurement Methodology for Task Order 5 will be based on measurements taken during the mated flight test portion of the space flight system (SFS) flight test program to be performed by VG of the first Accepted Aircraft.
iv.“Threshold Value” is the minimum acceptable value for each of the Performance Criteria. 
v.“Objective Value” is the desired value for each of the Performance Criteria.
vi.“Performance Incentive Amount” is the total dollar value that is potentially payable for the Performance Incentive under an applicable Task Order. The Performance Incentive Amount is in addition to any Charges due under such Task Order.
vii.“Weighting Factor” is the portion of the Performance Incentive Amount that is attributable each of the Performance Criteria to be used in the calculation of final amount of the Performance Incentive payable to AFS under an applicable Task Order.
m.For each of Task Orders 2 and 5, the Measurement Methodology will be applied to each of the Performance Criteria to determine the Measured Value.
n.For each of the Performance Criteria for which the Measured Value exceeds the Threshold Value, VG will calculate the portion of the Performance Incentive Amount payable to AFS by multiplying the Weighting Factor applicable to each of the Performance Criteria by the amount by which Measured Value exceeds the Threshold Value.
o.If the Measured Value for any of the Performance Criteria exceeds the applicable Objective Value, VG will calculate the portion of the Performance Incentive Amount payable to AFS in connection with that Performance Criterion by multiplying the Weighting Factor applicable to such Performance 

[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item (601)(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

Criterion by the Performance Incentive Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall (i) the measurement of the Measured Value of any of the Performance Criteria in excess of the applicable Objective Value increase the amount that AFS is eligible to receive with respect to any other Performance Criterion, or (ii) the total amount payable under the Performance Incentive for a Task Order exceed the Performance Incentive Amount applicable to such Task Order.
p.If the Measured Value for any Performance Criterion as measured after Task Order 2 exceeds the Measured Value for such Performance Criterion as measured after Task Order 5, the Performance Incentive applicable to Task Order 2 shall be calculated using the Measured Value as measured after Task Order 5.
q.If one or more of the Performance Criteria do not meet or exceed the applicable Threshold Value, AFS will not be eligible for the portion of the Performance Incentive Amount attributable to such Performance Criterion, as determined by the applicable Weighting Factor.
r.Upon completion by VG of the Performance Incentive calculation described above, the portion of the Performance Incentive Amount earned by AFS will be payable by VG in accordance with Article 4 (Payments) after the first Accepted Aircraft Enters Commercial Revenue Service. If VG fails to take measurements within six (6) months after Acceptance of the first Accepted Aircraft, Aurora will be entitled to full payment for any Performance Incentive earned in connection with Task Order 2. VG shall be entitled to retain any portion of the Performance Incentive Amount not earned by AFS under a Task Order.

b.within sixty (60) calendar days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree is reasonable under the circumstances) after receiving a written cure notice from VG, AFS has been unable to establish a remediation plan to remedy the failure that is acceptable to VG in its sole discretion; and
c.on or after the expiration of the cure period specified in Paragraph A, Section 2, Subsection b of this Article 18 (Termination), VG provides 

[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item (601)(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

to AFS written notice of termination, which will be effective as of the date such notice is sent to AFS.
3.VG’s right to terminate for default in accordance with Paragraph A, Section 2, Subsections a and b of this Article 18 (Termination) may be exercised during a period beginning immediately after fulfillment of the conditions cited therein and ending after Acceptance of the late Deliverable.

2.Termination for Convenience
1.VG may terminate any Time and Material Task Order by providing AFS with written notice at least ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of termination specified in such notice.

e.has a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business; or

For purposes of this Paragraph C, Section 6 of this Article 18 (Termination), a change in control is deemed to have occurred if there is a change in the beneficial

4.Effects of Termination
1.Unless with respect to Paragraph C of this Article 18 (Termination), AFS shall continue work under Task Orders not terminated, if any.

3.If VG terminates a Task Order for AFS’s default in accordance with Paragraph A of this Article 18 (Termination) above:
a.the activities required in Paragraph D, Section 2, Subsections b through e will be at AFS’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, these activities will be at VG’s expense for any other termination; and
b.AFS shall provide transition services to VG as requested to support the transfer of work on the Program from AFS to either VG or a third party. AFS shall provide these transition services at no charge to VG up to [***] total labor hours.

4.If VG terminates a Task Order for its convenience:
i.AFS shall promptly prepare a termination plan for the winding down of work on the terminated Task Order, including without limitation by rapidly reducing workers assigned to the Task Order and reducing labor costs and listing any costs (plus applicable mark-up) for non-

20.NON-SOLICITATION
1.The Parties agree that during the term of this Agreement, neither a Party nor any of its Affiliates or representatives shall directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of another person or entity solicit for employment or otherwise induce, influence, or encourage to terminate employment with the other Party or any of its Affiliates or employ or engage as an independent contractor any of the other Party’s current employees who are performing on under this Agreement, or any of its Affiliates or subsidiaries (each, a "Covered Employee"), except pursuant to a general solicitation through the media that is not directed specifically to any Covered Employee, unless such general solicitation is undertaken as a means to circumvent the restrictions contained in, or conceal a violation of, this provision.
