 Article 22 
 FORCE MAJEURE 

22.1 Neither Party shall be liable for any delay in the performance of its obligations under this Contract, or a delay or failure of performance of its
first-tier contractor(s), if such delay or failure to perform is due to a Force Majeure event and provided that the affected Party seeking to invoke this Article 22 notifies the other Party in writing within five (5) Business Days after the
occurrence of a Force Majeure event (or the date the affected Party reasonably became or should have become aware of the Force Majeure event), including a detailed description of the causes thereof and such Parties’ Reasonable Efforts to avoid
the Force Majeure event or mitigate the impact thereof, such as establishment of work-around plans, alternate sources, extended operations or other means, including use of alternate viable subcontractors. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by
either Party timely to obtain any required governmental license, permit or authorization shall not be deemed a Force Majeure event. 
 22.2 If a
delay or failure in the performance of a Party’s obligations under this Contract is due to either Party or their subcontractor performing work under a DO/DX rated contract other than that to be performed under this Contract, such delay will be

information detailed in Section 22.1. 
 22.4 Any unavailability of a Launch Site or Launch Range for reasons due to the actions or
omissions of the competent Launch Site or Launch Range authority and not primarily attributable to Contractor shall be deemed to be a Force Majeure event. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of a Launch Service by the competent Launch Site or
Launch Range authority (or by the Launch Vehicle’s flight termination system) due to the Launch Vehicle’s failure to meet the applicable Contractor and Launch Site or Launch Range safety requirements and parameters that results in the
unavailability of a Launch Site or Launch Range shall not be deemed to be a Force Majeure event. Furthermore, lack of compliance with the non-recurring Launch Vehicle qualification criteria provided for in Section 11.1.1(A)(ii) shall not be
excused as a Force Majeure event. If requested by the non-affected Party, the affected Party shall provide reasonable evidence or justification supporting a Force Majeure event claimed under this Section 22.4. 

22.5 With respect to any Force Majeure event lasting up to [***...***] months (as applied to independent Force Majeure events in the aggregate or a
specific Force Majeure event that temporarily ceases and subsequently re-occurs due to the original circumstances causing such Force Majeure event), the period of performance under this Contract with respect to the affected Launch Service(s) shall
be extended without penalty by the duration of the Force Majeure event and Customer’s obligation to make payments hereunder with respect to Launch Services due during the period of a Force Majeure event shall be extended for a period equal to
the duration of the Force Majeure event without penalty.

 EXHIBIT F

 DISCLOSURES 
 Pending/Threatened Litigation 
 In accordance with Section 7.3 of the Contract for Launch
Services, dated as of March 19, 2010, between Iridium Satellite LLC and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”), please be advised of the following circumstances which, if ultimately resolved in a manner adverse to SpaceX,
could have a material adverse effect on SpaceX: 
  

	 	1.	PlanetSpace Inc., which bid on but was not awarded any of NASA’s $3.5B Commercial Resupply Services (“CRS”) contract, filed an official bid protest with
the U.S. Government Accounting Office (“GAO”) in December of 2008. As awardees of the CRS contract, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corporation (“Orbital”) each participated in the GAO bid protest proceedings. In May of 2009, the GAO
concluded that NASA’s award of the CRS contract to SpaceX and Orbital was proper and denied relief to PlanetSpace. In July of 2009, PlanetSpace filed a bid protest action against the United States challenging NASA’s CRS award decision in
the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Complaint is currently pending and SpaceX has intervened in the proceeding.
