In accordance with the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Plan), this Option substitutes and restates in its entirety the Participant’s previous stock option award corresponding to this Option (the “Previous Award”) granted under the Amended and Restated Terran Orbital Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, and the applicable award agreement thereunder, on the Date of Original Grant set forth below.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.

  Vesting Schedule: 

  This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, according to the following vesting schedule:

  Termination Period: 

  This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after the Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company, unless such Termination is due to the Participant’s death or Disability, in which case this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after such Termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above and this Option may be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.

  II. AGREEMENT 

  1.Grant of Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Option Agreement (the “Participant”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Option Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

  If designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code.  Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonqualifed Stock Option (“NSO”).  Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan.  In no event shall the Committee, the Company or any Affiliate or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to the Participant (or any other person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

  2.Exercise of Option. 

  (a)Right to Exercise.  This Option, to the extent vested, shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

  (b)Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may determine, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company.  The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares, together with any applicable tax withholding.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the 

  2

   

  

   

  Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.

  No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with applicable laws.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

  3.Lock-Up Period.  The Participant hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of Shares, including an initial public offering of Shares or any subsequent primary underwritten offering (a “Public Offering”), made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by the Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

  The Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.  In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Stock (or other securities) of the Company, the Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.  The obligations described in this Section 3 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.  The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period.  The Participant agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 3.

  3

   

  

   

  4.Method of Payment.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

  (a)	cash;

(b)  	check; 

  (c)consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

  (d)surrender of other Shares which (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

  	6.	Restrictions on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised until such time as the

  Shares have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, and may not be exercised if the issuance of Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable law.

  	7.	Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.  The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.

  	8.	Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the

  Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

  9.	Tax Obligations. 

  (a)Tax Withholding.  The Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

  (b)Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares.  If the Option granted to the Participant herein is an ISO, and if the Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Original Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, the Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  The Participant agrees that the Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Participant.

  (c)Code Section 409A.  Under Code Section 409A, an Option that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.”  An Option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition 

  4

   

  

   

  by the Participant prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges.  The “discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the Participant.  The Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option or the Previous Award equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination.  The Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option or the Previous Award was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, the Participant shall be solely responsible for the Participant’s costs related to such a determination.

  10.	Entire Agreement; Governing Law.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Participant’s Previous Award.   This Option Agreement may not be modified adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Participant.  This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California.

  11.	No Guarantee of Continued Service.  THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS OPTION PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR, OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

   

  5

   

  

   

  The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that the Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.  The Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Option.  The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that this Option substitutes and restates the Previous Award in its entirety.

As such, the Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan.

  	4

   

  

  determinations by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the Award, unless fraudulent or made in bad faith.  Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the Administrator in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the Plan or the Award or other agreement thereunder (other than determining questions of interpretation pursuant to the preceding sentence) shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the Award.

  3.1Grant of Units.  On the Date of Grant, the Participant shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of Units set forth in and defined in the Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 and the Plan.  Each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) Share, subject to the terms of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.

  3.2No Monetary Payment Required.  The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or Shares issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to, or for the benefit of, the Company or its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to, or for the benefit of, the Company or its Affiliates having a value not less than the par value of the Shares issued upon settlement of the Units.

  	5

   

  

  4.2Termination of Continuous Service for Cause.  If the Participant’s Continuous Service is Terminated for Cause at any time prior to the applicable Vesting Date, then all Units subject to the Award (whether vested or unvested) shall be forfeited and automatically canceled immediately upon the Participant’s Termination.

  4.3Termination of Continuous Service other than for Cause. If the Participant’s Continuous Service Terminates for any reason other than for Cause, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability (as defined in the Plan)), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Units pursuant to the Award which remain unvested as of the date of the Participant’s Termination.	

  5.Settlement of the Award.

  5.1Issuance of Shares.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the Company shall issue one (1) Share to the Participant within thirty (30) days of the applicable Vesting Date with respect to each Unit that vests and becomes non-forfeitable on such date (such date of settlement, an “Original Settlement Date”); provided, however, that if the tax withholding obligations of the Company, or its Affiliate, if any, will not be satisfied by the share withholding method described in Section 6.3 and the Original Settlement Date would occur on a date on which a sale by the Participant of the Shares to be issued in settlement of the Units that vested and became non-forfeitable would violate any written policy of the Company pertaining to the purchase, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Company’s equity securities by directors, officers, employees or other service providers who may possess material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or its securities, as in effect from time to time (the “Trading Compliance Policy”), that Investor Rights Agreement, dated October 28, 2021 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) or any other lockup agreements entered into in connection with an underwritten Public Offering, then the Settlement Date for such vested Units shall be deferred until the next day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy or the Investor Rights Agreement or any such lockup agreement, but in any event, shall be on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following calendar year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurred.  Shares issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restrictions set forth in the Grant Notice or as may be required pursuant to Section 6.3, Section 7 or the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy.

  5.2Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration.  The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Company’s transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such Shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice.  Except as provided by the foregoing, if applicable, a certificate for the Shares acquired by the Participant may be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.

  5.3Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares.  The grant of the Award and issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities.  No Shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would constitute a violation of any 

  	6

   

  

  applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Shares may then be listed.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.  As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

  5.4Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares upon the settlement of the Award.

  6.Tax Withholding.

  6.1In General.  At the time the Grant Notice is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company or its Affiliate, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax (including any social insurance) withholding obligations of the Company or its Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the Award, the vesting of Units or the issuance of Shares in settlement thereof.  The Company shall have no obligation to deliver Shares until the tax withholding obligations of the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, have been satisfied by the Participant.

  6.2Assignment of Sale Proceeds.  Subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy, if permitted by the Company, the Participant may satisfy the Company’s, or its Affiliate’s, tax withholding obligations in accordance with procedures established by the Company providing for delivery by the Participant to the Company or a broker approved by the Company of properly executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon settlement of Units.

  6.3Withholding in Shares.  The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the Company’s, or its Affiliate’s, tax withholding obligations by deducting from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole Shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, equal to such tax withholding obligations.  Any determination by the Company with respect to whether to permit the withholding of Shares to satisfy the tax withholding obligation shall be made by the Administrator if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

  7.Effect of Change in Control.

  In the event of a Change in Control, the Award shall be subject to and treated as set forth in the Plan and any applicable provisions of the Grant Notice.

  	7

   

  

  8.Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.

  In the event of a change in the capital structure of the Company, the Award shall be subject to and treated as set forth in Section 10 of the Plan.

  9.Rights as a Stockholder, Director, Employee or Consultant.

  The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 8 or in the Plan.  If the Participant is an employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between the Company (or its Affiliate) and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Continuous Service of the Company or its Affiliates, or interfere in any way with any right of the Company or its Affiliate to Terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time.

  10.Legends.

  The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions or other restrictions (such as transfer restrictions) on all certificates or book entries representing Shares issued pursuant to the Units under this Agreement.  The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing Shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.

  11.Compliance with Section 409A.

  It is intended that any election, payment or benefit which is made or provided pursuant to or in connection with this Award that may result in compensation that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A (“Section 409A Deferred Compensation”) shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) (including applicable regulations or other administrative guidance thereunder, as determined by the Administrator in good faith) to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non‐compliance.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company is authorized to amend this Agreement, to void or amend any election made by the Participant under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by the Company, in its discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to comply with or be exempt from the Section 409A Regulations without prior notice to or consent of the Participant.  The Participant hereby releases and holds harmless the Company and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers and stockholders, from any and all claims that may arise from or relate to any tax liability, penalties, interest, costs, fees or other liability incurred by the Participant in connection with the Award, including as a result of the application of Section 409A.
