All invoices must be sent to : • [***] • The respective BlackSky Program Manager for the contract. • The BlackSky Director of Contracts (c) Per the VSA, payment of invoices shall be due within thirty (30) days of receipt of the emailed invoice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the VSA, in the event of BlackSky’s failure to pay any invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt, LeoStella may issue a Stop Work Order with respect to any/all labor and materials required hereunder (“LS Stop Work”). Upon BlackSky’s payment of all such unpaid invoices, the parties will in good faith prepare an updated Milestone Schedule and Payment Criteria that takes into account the LS Stop Work and LeoStella’s need to re-initiate the Work hereunder. Any Liquidated Damages for late delivery shall only apply to the re-baselined program schedule. XI. Insurance Insurance must be procured in accordance with Section 13 - Insurance of the VSA. XII. Adjustments for Liquidated Damages: (a) After a thirty (30) calendar day grace period that begins 55 weeks after contract signature, and unless such date is extended as a consequence of (i) VSA Sections 18 (Changes), Section 21 (Force Majeure), Section 8.4 (Stop Work BlackSky), Section 8.5 (Stop Work Contractor), (ii) WO 003 Section X(c) Stop Work Lack of Payment, or (iii) arising from an excusable delay as defined in this section by a subcontractor or material vendor, for all Satellite Pre-Ship Review milestones listed in Appendix A, should a complete and valid deliverable package not be delivered to BlackSky upon the latest date listed in said Appendix A, the Supplier shall pay as liquidated damages (and not as penalty) in the amount of $50,000 per week of delay up to a maximum of $385,000. An excusable delay, for the purposes of this Section XII only, is defined as: (1) A delay not as a result of LeoStella, as supported with objective evidence; (2) A delay resulting from agreed changes between BlackSky and LeoStella resulting in a delay; (3) a delay where the contracted work was initiated under a previously contracted ATP for which a supplier is late and for which LeoStella is contractually unable to recover liquidated or delay damages (4) a delay where a master sales agreement entered into by LeoStella and a supplier was established prior to the date of this Work Order 003 and which does not include a right by LeoStella to recover liquidated or delay damages. If a delay is incurred on a unit within WO 003, the financial consequence of such delay can be offset by LeoStella’s completion of a milestone on a schedule that completes the performance and PSR for other such unit(s)


 
Page 6 of 26 WO 003 BlackSky Proprietary BlackSky Proprietary 30 days or more ahead of the milestone dates listed in Appendix A. See Appendix F for a complete liquidated damages and liquidated damages offset schedule. (b) These liquidated damages shall be the sole financial remedy provided to BlackSky for late deliveries of these satellites under WO 003. To the extent there is any conflict between Section XII and the VSA, Section XII shall apply. (c) BlackSky’s imposition of liquidated damages hereunder shall not act as a bar to the right of BlackSky to allege that circumstances exist to exercise either a Termination for Default or Termination for Convenience hereunder. (d) Cumulative liquidated damages accrued (and not offset pursuant to Section XII(a)) during WO 003 will be applied as a credit against future orders placed by BlackSky for units beyond FM-06. For the sake of clarity, a net negative liquidated damages amount (offsets exceed liquidated damages) shall not result in a net credit to LeoStella. The minimum amount of liquidated damages is $0. XIII. Termination for Convenience and Default This Work Order 003 incorporates Termination provisions Article 8.2 Termination for Convenience and 8.3, Termination with Cause for Default, under the VSA, with the following revisions due to the unique nature and expedited schedule for this Work Order 003, which shall take precedence: Under VSA Article 8.2 Termination for Convenience, this Work Order 003 revises the definition of the VSA Termination At Will Fee to clarify that the fee to be applied to this Work Order 003 in the instance of a Termination for Convenience, if any, to the Actual Cost shall be 10%. In addition, in the event of a Termination for Convenience, Supplier will transfer title and ownership to all terminated work in process to BlackSky. Under VSA Article 8.3 Termination with Cause for Default, this Work Order 003 revises VSA 8.3 as follows: With respect to Article 8.3, paragraph (a) is revised as follows: (a) to the response period of LeoStella to any Default Notice issued by BlackSky to be reduced to fifteen (15) working days in order for LeoStella to issue a plan (“Plan”) for correcting the default and propose a means of recovering any loss in Schedule as a result of Supplier’s default. XIV. Excusable Delays The Parties shall not be responsible for late delivery, or delay of the final completion date or non- performance of any of its contractual obligations due to Force Majeure events. Force Majeure events for this Work Order 003 shall be any event beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the Supplier or its suppliers and Subcontractors and shall include, but shall not be limited to : (1) acts of God ; (2) act of terrorism (3) acts of a public enemy ; (4) acts of a government (including delay in granting, refusal, withdrawal or non-renewal of any Governmental Authorization) ; (5) war and warlike events and their national and international consequences ; (6) catastrophic weather conditions such as sandstorm, hurricanes, tornadoes or typhoons; (7) fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics/pandemics events and their consequences (including any reactivation of COVID 19), quarantine restriction, strikes, lockouts, sabotage, riots, or embargoes.


 
Page 7 of 26 WO 003 BlackSky Proprietary BlackSky Proprietary The Party whose performance is delayed under this Article shall give notice in writing to the other Party within five (5) Business Days after a Force Majeure event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party’s failure to provide such notice shall not prevent such an event from qualifying as an excusable delay, except to the extent the failure to so notify prejudices the other Party’s ability to mitigate the impact of the delay or non- performance. Such notice shall also be given at the termination of the excusable delay. The delivery requirements shall only be extended, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, by such period of time as is justified by the evidence forwarded in the notice, but in any event not less than one (1) Day for one (1) Day of excusable delay. The Customer acknowledge that following the end of an excusable delay event Supplier shall resume full performance as soon as commercially practicable and the schedule of performance shall be deemed modified to reflect such recommencement of performance. Payment obligations of Customer shall be suspended only for the portion of Supplier’s performance of Work affected by the excusable delay. Depending on the consequences of the excusable delay event the Parties agree to modify affected provisions of the Milestone Events identified herein as necessary. XV. Audit/Inspection Subject to the to the requirements of confidentiality of [***], LeoStella shall support any federal agency, state, or municipal government auditing request from BlackSky, including any such audits necessary to determine compliance with use of restricted or identified metals under SEC or FAR or other regulations, as well as compliance with regulations concerning the fair and equal treating of person and preventing of trafficking of persons that are specifically applicable to BlackSky. LeoStella shall work with sub-tier suppliers, to the extent possible, to support such federal agency, state or municipal government audits, including using good faith efforts to negotiate amendments to any contractual clauses between LeoStella and its applicable supply chain vendors and/or subcontractors that may preclude such auditing rights. Just compensation shall be provided by BlackSky for LeoStella support of BlackSky’s auditing activities and any necessary modification of sub-tier/vendor supplier contracts. XVI. Customer Furnished Equipment (CFE) BlackSky will provide customer furnished equipment (CFE) as part of this Work Order 003 as described in the Statement of Work. LeoStella will be responsible for unloading of CFE from the delivery truck onto LeoStella’s loading dock. For clarity, the optical payload transit case/container is not considered CFE and is the sole responsibility of the CFE supplier to transport and store. Upon receipt, however, no later than 15 business days, LeoStella shall receive the CFE according to the requirements in the CFE User Manual. Within the 15 business day time period, LeoStella shall document and communicate any non-conformances noted during the receiving inspection of the CFE including but not limited to concerns with packaging, mishandling, visible or suspected defects, environmental concerns or integrity of packaging or storage conditions. After completion of receiving inspection, LeoStella shall store the CFE in accordance with the terms of the CFE User Manuals. LeoStella shall not be liable for any latent defects that are not detectable during receiving inspection of the CFE and are discovered at a later stage of satellite integration (e.g. optical test, vibration test). LeoStella shall be liable for defects that arise due to CFE mishandling or over-test. All CFE shall be delivered to LeoStella by the need-by date in Appendix B, Table 1. LeoStella and BlackSky will work collaboratively to mitigate any schedule impacts of a late CFE delivery and/or CFE defects. Mitigating and troubleshooting of defects or non-conformances inherent to the CFE beyond identification and confirmation of attribution is beyond the scope of this Work Order 003. Any instance of delay to the satellite delivery schedule as a result of the late delivery of CFE or a CFE defect not caused by


 
Page 8 of 26 WO 003 BlackSky Proprietary BlackSky Proprietary LeoStella will be attributed to BlackSky and not subject to the delay liquidated damage clause of this WO 003. LeoStella will provide a fair and reasonable assessment of the impact to the schedule and a new delivery date for the affected satellite. [***]. LeoStella may not provide images of the CFE hardware or in CAD to any external party except as authorized in writing by the BlackSky Program Management or Director of Contracts. In the event that third parties are viewing LeoStella’s production build space, LeoStella will take appropriate measures to shield BlackSky CFE from viewers. XVII. Intellectual Property (IP) Intellectual property rights are governed by Sections 3 and 4 of the VSA and any document referenced therein. XVIII. Order of Precedence. To the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement, WO 003, the VSA or any other amendment entered into by the Parties, the Parties agree that the following order of precedence shall be used to resolve the same: WO 003, the VSA and the Term Sheet. LeoStella represents that the Work provided for herein has no alternative use but for the scope provided for by this Agreement and such Work shall not be offered to any third party as required by Customer. IN WITNESS HEREOF, the Parties have executed WO 003 as of the date and year first written above and represent and warrant that they have the authority and power to execute WO 003.
