Attachment 2 Schedule of Milestones and Payments HQ0850229XXXX June XX 2022

Solicitation Number: SDA-PS-22-03

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. The parties agree to the milestone payment amounts in the table above should the effort be necessary.

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. 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.

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 Contractor.

· 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.
