Note 1: This is a notional document and the proposed milestones may vary in accordance with the program solicitation.

Note 2: Operations and Sustainment Milestones for years 3, 4, and 5 are not exercised.

Note 3: The dates in the table are best estimates. The Performer is still eligible for payment if a milestone is completed after the estimated date (unless otherwise noted). O&S milestone estimated dates will be updated following launch of Plane 1, at which point they will represent the end of the respective milestone period of performance.

Note 4: The Government is not obligated to pay any milestone before the estimated date, regardless of when the milestone completion criteria are met. The Performer may initiate the milestone approval process as soon as the exit criteria are satisfied at which point the milestone approval process shall commence. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the milestone will be considered complete when any one of the following conditions is met:

• The Government provides written documentation indicating that The Performer successfully completed the milestone, or

• The Government fails to provide written documentation indicating unsuccessful completion of the milestone within 30 days following the written notification of the milestone completion.

Note 5: Consistent with standard Systems Engineering processes, each Milestone is subject to Lien(s), Major Action Items(s), and Minor Action Item(s) as identified in coordination between the Government and Performer.

• A Lien is defined as a substantial item coming out of the review that does not show sufficient evidence of a path to delivery of the system in compliance with the contract. A lien prevents payment of a milestone until closed or converted into a Major Action Item.

• A Major Action Item is defined as an item that presents a substantial risk to the system if no action is taken prior to the next review. A Major Action Item prevents payment of a milestone until either the action item is closed, a closure plan is agreed to with the Government, or the Government agrees to track the item as a program risk.

• A Minor Action Item is defined as no threat to the system, administrative in nature, or a recommendation for change. Milestones can be paid with outstanding Minor Action Items.

Note 6: For Milestones FAR & IR Cal Complete (First Plane) and FAR & IR Cal Complete (Second Plane), each payment milestone will be decremented commensurately, up to a maximum shown in the table below, in the event of a single SV or multiple SVs failure that results in SV(s) being fully inoperable upon completion of the milestone. These decrements shall only apply when such SV failure is solely attributable to Performer without any fault or negligence of the Government or a third party(s), and no other payment milestones will be affected.

Decrements shall be calculated to each milestone based upon the following parameters:

• For each Space Vehicle fully inoperable, the payment will be decremented in accordance with the following table:
