***. In the event that, notwithstanding such commercially reasonable efforts by
SES-LA and/or Customer, as applicable, such reasonable support from SES-LA
and/or Customer, as applicable, and such commercially reasonable efforts by
Customer to cause DISH Network and EchoStar to provide such reasonable support
*** any required additional approvals or authorizations are not obtained, then
no modifications to the Satellite shall be made.
     1.B(7) SES-LA agrees to keep Customer promptly apprised of all material
third party discussions related to the Launch Service Agreement. *** Subject to
any applicable ITAR and EAR restrictions, Customer, DISH Network and EchoStar
and their U.S. citizen representatives shall be permitted to participate in
reviews of each of LSA Vendor’s milestone events with respect to launch of the
Satellite. Customer and Customer’s guests may at Customer’s expense attend the
launch of the Satellite.
     1.B(8) SES-LA agrees to keep Customer promptly apprised of all material
third party discussions related to insurance. SES-LA shall collaborate with and
include Customer, DISH Network and EchoStar in all significant decisions related
to insurance, including without limitation the placement of insurance, ***.
SES-LA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include terms in the
insurance policies that would include a return of all premiums (or as much of
such premiums as possible) in the event of a cancellation of the policies.
     1.B(9) ***
     1.B(10) ***
     1.B(11) Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is SES-LA’s intention to
procure commercial launch and in-orbit insurance covering the Net Book Value of
the Satellite *** based on an allocation of such Net Book Value to the various
payloads on the Satellite, as determined by mutual agreement of SES-LA,
Customer, DISH Network and EchoStar subsequent to execution of the Construction
Contract (and subject to later modification by mutual agreement of such
parties). The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted
as necessary to reflect the original or modified allocation (e.g., the formula
in clause (e) of Subsection 2.H(3), *** Attachment B, and the terms and
conditions referencing a Failed Payload may need adjustment). Upon the request
of SES-LA, Customer, DISH Network or EchoStar, SES-LA, Customer, DISH Network
and EchoStar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon
the original allocation or a modified allocation. ***
     1.B(12) SES-LA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain specific
payload-level insurance coverage (i.e., in the initial launch coverage and the
subsequent in-orbit coverages), consistent with the allocation of Net Book Value
determined under Subsection 1.B(11). During such periods of the Service Term in
which no such payload-level coverage exists, the references to “Failed Payload”
in Subsection 2.A(3), Subsection 2.C(2), Subsection 5.B(1) and Subsection 7.B(1)
shall be disregarded. During such periods of the Service Term in which such
payload-level coverage exists, the foregoing references shall apply and the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted as necessary
to reflect the existence of such coverage.
1.C. Service Term. The term for Service (the “Service Term”) on any Satellite
*** shall commence on the In-Service Date for that Satellite, and, except as
otherwise provided herein, shall expire on the earlier of ***
1.D. Notices. All notices regarding technical or operational matters requiring
immediate attention shall be given by telephone to the telephone numbers set
forth below for Customer and the telephone number set forth in the User’s Guides
