space data applications and mission operations. </P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Electron is our orbital small launch vehicle that was designed from the ground up to
accommodate a high launch rate business model to meet the growing and dynamic needs of our customers for small launch services. Since its maiden launch in 2017, Electron has become the leading small spacecraft launch vehicle delivering 150
spacecraft to orbit for government and commercial customers across 27 successful missions through September&nbsp;30, 2022. In 2021, Electron was the second most frequently launched rocket by companies operating in the United States
(&#147;U.S.&#148;) and established Rocket Lab as the fourth most frequent launcher globally. Our launch services program has seen us develop many industry-leading innovations, including 3D printed electric turbo-pump rocket engines, fully carbon
composite first stage fuel tanks, a private orbital launch complex, a rocket stage that can be configured to convert into a highly capable spacecraft on orbit, and the potential ability to successfully recover a stage from space, providing a path to
reusability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In March 2021, we announced plans to develop our reusable-ready medium-capacity Neutron launch vehicle which will increase the payload
capacity of our space launch vehicles to approximately 13,000 kg for launches to low Earth orbit and lighter payloads into higher orbits. Neutron will be tailored for commercial and U.S. government constellation launches and capable of human space
flight, enabling us to provide crew and cargo resupply to the International Space Station. Neutron will also provide a dedicated service to orbit for larger civil, defense and commercial payloads that need a level of schedule control and high-flight
cadence. Neutron is expected to have the capability of launching nearly all of the spacecraft configurations that we expect to be launched through 2029 and we expect to be able to leverage Electron&#146;s flight heritage, various vehicle subsystems
designs, launch complexes and ground station infrastructure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our space systems initiative is supported by the design and manufacture of our Photon family
of small spacecraft along with a range of components, software and services for spacecraft, including reaction wheels, star trackers, radios, separation systems, solar solutions, command and control software, high voltage space grade battery
solutions, and additional products in development to serve a wide variety of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-system</FONT> functions. We entered this market with our acquisition of leading spacecraft components manufacturer Sinclair
Interplanetary, and have since expanded our market participation with the acquisitions of Planetary Systems Corporation, SolAero Holdings, Inc. and aerospace software firm Advanced Solutions, Inc. Each of these strategic acquisitions brought
incremental vertically-integrated capabilities for our own Photon family of spacecraft and also enabled Rocket Lab to deliver high-volume manufacturing of critical spacecraft components and software solutions at scale prices to the broader
spacecraft merchant market. The Photon family of small spacecraft, which are configurable for a range of low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, geosynchronous orbit and interplanetary missions enable us to offer an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-to-end</FONT></FONT> mission solution encompassing launch, spacecraft, ground services and mission operations to provide customers with streamlined access to orbit with Rocket Lab as a single mission partner. </P>

of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. </P>

including the election of directors, and does not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. </P>

Incorporation or Bylaws. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of
the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that may be designated and issued in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Preferred Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences, and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations, or
restrictions thereon and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the
holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
our control that may otherwise benefit holders of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of
preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Election of Directors and Vacancies </B></P>

Class&nbsp;III directors shall expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 and the next term of office of the Class&nbsp;I directors shall expire at our annual meeting of

their election. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Bylaws, except as may be required in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes

rights of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, directors may be removed only as provided by the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. All vacancies occurring on the Board and any newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled in the manner set forth below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the rights, if any, of the

size of the Board, or the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a director, shall be filled solely and exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board,
and not by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until
such director&#146;s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding to elect directors,
when the number of directors is increased or decreased, the Board shall, subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned; provided, however,
that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of a vacancy in the Board, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board until the
vacancy is filled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Quorum </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as otherwise
provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in
person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If less than a quorum is present at a meeting, the stockholders representing a majority of the voting power present at the meeting or the presiding officer
may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original
meeting. The stockholders present at a duly constituted meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of our Company. We
expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to first negotiate
with our Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the board of directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Board is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as
possible, and with each director serving a three-year term. As a result, approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the Board will be elected each year. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more
difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Board. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply so
long as our common stock remains listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of our common stock. Additional shares that may
be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive
stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Special Meeting, Action by Written
Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Certificate of Incorporation provides that holders of our common stock may not
take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend the Bylaws or remove directors without holding a
meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws. The Bylaws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our Board, the Chairperson of the Board or our Chief Executive Officer, thus
prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including
the removal of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bylaws provide for advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of
stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. The Bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder&#146;s notice. These provisions might preclude
stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at the annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also
discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer&#146;s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
may amend or repeal any provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, subject to the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of our stock required by applicable
law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sixty-six</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> percent
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(66-2/3%)</FONT> of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt,
amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws, provided that, if our Board recommends that the holders of our capital stock approve any amendment or repeal of the Bylaws at a meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the
affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class. </P>

&#147;interested stockholder&#148; and may not engage in certain &#147;business combinations&#148; with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation&#146;s voting stock, unless: </P>

certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising
under the Securities Act. As permitted by the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for
the following (i)&nbsp;any breach of a director&#146;s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174
of the DGCL; or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the DGCL, the Bylaws provide that: (i)&nbsp;we are required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; (ii)&nbsp;we may indemnify our other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL; (iii)&nbsp;we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive
officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; and (iv)&nbsp;the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have entered into indemnification agreements with each director and executive officer to provide these individuals additional contractual assurances
regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving one of our directors or executive officers
for which indemnification is sought. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indemnification provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the indemnification agreements
entered into or to be entered into between us and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We currently
carries liability insurance for our directors and officers. Certain of our directors are also indemnified by their employers with regard to service on our Board. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company&#146;s directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. </P>

except liability: (i)&nbsp;for any breach of a director&#146;s duty of loyalty to Rocket Lab or its stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL; or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the DGCL, the Bylaws of Rocket Lab provide that: (i)&nbsp;Rocket Lab is required to
indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; (ii)&nbsp;Rocket Lab may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL; (iii)&nbsp;Rocket Lab is

between Rocket Lab and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of Rocket Lab&#146;s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Rocket Lab carries
