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.

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
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.

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.
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.

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.
