Employment Agreement dated as of May 18, 2006



 Exhibit 10.39 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of
May 18, 2006, between Intelsat Holdings, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation (“Parent”) and James B. Frownfelter (the “Executive”) and effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement among
Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd., Proton Acquisition Corporation and PanAmSat Holding Corporation (“PanAmSat”), dated as of August 28, 2005) (the “Merger Agreement”). In the event that the Merger Agreement is
terminated, this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no further force and effect, and the Prior Agreement (as defined below) shall remain in effect and be binding in full on the parties thereto. 
 In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each party hereto, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Effectiveness of Agreement
and Employment of the Executive. 
 1.1 Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective at, and subject to the
occurrence of, the Effective Time. 
 1.2 Employment by the Company. Effective at, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective
Time, Parent will cause the highest U.S. subsidiary of Parent immediately after the Effective Time (the “Company”) to hereby employ the Executive as President (for Company internal purposes only) and Chief Operating Officer, and the
Executive hereby accepts such employment. During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 3), the Executive shall directly and exclusively report to, and perform such duties and services for the Company (including supervising the
Company’s investment in its subsidiaries and affiliates (such subsidiaries and affiliates, collectively, “Affiliates”)) as may be designated from time to time by, the Chief Executive Officer of Intelsat, Ltd.
(“Intelsat”); provided, that the Executive shall be the executive responsible for (subject to oversight and supervision by Intelsat’s Chief Executive Officer) (i) the general and overall operations of the Company and all
subsidiaries of Parent and (ii) the sales and marketing and engineering functions of the Company and all subsidiaries of Parent. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and attention to
his employment under this Agreement; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3, the Executive may serve as a non-executive director on the board of directors of only one company (other than the Company
and its Affiliates) during the Employment Period, unless the Executive obtains the prior written consent of the Company to serve as a non-executive director on any other board of directors. The Executive acknowledges that he shall be required to
travel on business in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder. Parent shall cause the Company to honor the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and shall (x) guarantee the performance of such obligations or
(y) directly honor such obligations itself. 
 1.3 Location. During the Employment Period, the Executive’s principal place
of employment shall be Washington, D.C.; provided, that it is the parties’ current intention that the Executive will spend an appropriate amount of time working at Intelsat’s headquarters, currently located in Bermuda, in order to
fulfill his duties. 







 2. Compensation and Benefits. 
 2.1 (a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Executive for services during his employment under this Agreement a
base salary of no less than the annual rate of $600,000 (“Base Salary”). The Base Salary received by the Executive shall be reviewed no less frequently than annually by (i) the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company
and (ii) following an initial public offering of Parent (such initial public offering of Parent only, an “IPO”) or a direct or indirect subsidiary or parent of the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company
or such parent or subsidiary the equity securities of which are to be publicly-traded pursuant to such initial public offering (such applicable committee, the “Compensation Committee”). Any and all increases to the Executive’s
Base Salary shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion. During the Employment Period, such Base Salary shall be payable in equal biweekly installments pursuant to the Company’s customary payroll policies in force
at the time of payment, less any required or authorized payroll deductions. The Base Salary may be increased, but not decreased, during the Employment Period; if increased, such amount shall be the Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement.

 (b) Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
discretionary bonus with a maximum amount up to 87.5% of his Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), subject to his satisfaction of objective performance criteria that have been pre-established by the Compensation Committee in a manner
consistent with those of other senior executives of the Company, Intelsat and Parent. For each fiscal year during the Employment Period, the Compensation Committee may award an additional bonus (the “Additional Bonus”), in its sole
discretion, to the Executive of up to 50% of the Target Bonus, in the event of the Executive’s significant out-performance of objective performance criteria that have been pre-established by the Compensation Committee. The Target Bonus paid for
the Company’s fiscal year 2006 shall be pro-rated to reflect such partial fiscal year. During the Employment Period, the Executive also will be eligible to participate in any deferred compensation plan that is sponsored by the Company in
accordance with its terms. 
 (c) Equity Compensation. As of the Effective Time, (i) the Executive will be granted options on a
number of shares of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Shares”) equal to 0.84% of fully diluted ownership of Parent, pro forma for all Parent Common Shares and stock options on Parent Common Shares contemplated to be issued at
or around the completion of the PanAmSat transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement and assuming repurchases of all Parent Common Shares that, after the Effective Time, are expected to be repurchased pursuant to agreements in effect as of the
Effective Time (each such option on each such Parent Common Share, a “New Option,” and, collectively, the “New Options”) having the terms and conditions provided below and such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent therewith as may be provided for in Parent’s 2005 Share Incentive Plan, including a strike price equal to the fair market value of a Parent Common Share as of the Effective Time (as determined by an independent third party
valuation firm, chosen by Parent in its discretion, on a date as near as practicable to the Effective Time) (the “Per-Share Value”) and (ii) the options to purchase 
  

 -2- 








 shares of PanAmSat common stock held by the Executive that are listed on Schedule 1hereto (each such option, a
“PanAmSat Option” and, collectively, the “PanAmSat Options”) shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into options to purchase Parent Common Shares (each such option on each such Parent Common Share, a
“Rollover Option,” collectively, the “Rollover Options,” and together with the New Options, the “Options”) having the same aggregate Spread (as defined below) as the PanAmSat Options. The per-share
exercise price of the Rollover Option will (x) be set in a manner such that the fair market value per Parent Common Share less the exercise price of each Rollover Option is equal to the Spread and (y) be decreased to the lowest amount that
would not fail to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and that would not otherwise create current taxation to the Executive. Such Rollover Options shall otherwise have the same
terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) applicable to the PanAmSat Options. The “Spread” of an Option means the difference, if any, between (i) $25.00 (in the case of a PanAmSat Option) and the fair market value of a
Parent Common Share as of the Effective Time (in the case of a Rollover Option) and (ii) the per-share exercise price thereof. The Options shall provide that any Parent Common Shares received upon exercise of Options shall be subject to the
terms of the Shareholders Agreement by and among Parent and the Shareholders named therein, dated as of January 27, 2005, as amended (the “Shareholders Agreement”). 
 (A) New Options. The New Options shall vest over sixty months in equal monthly installments commencing on the last day of the first full calendar
month following the Effective Time, subject to the Executive’s continued employment on the date of vesting and to Section 4 below. Subject to the Executive’s continued employment, notwithstanding the foregoing, if “private equity
investors” own less than 40% of the aggregate equity interests, measured by vote and value, of Parent (“Private Equity Dilution”), then the New Options will become fully vested on the date that is twelve months after the
transaction which causes the Private Equity Dilution. For purposes of this Section 2.1(c)(A), “private equity investors” shall mean each of the members of the Investor Group (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) (the
“Investors”) and any other similar entities or divisions of entities which are similar type private equity investors including, without limitation, entities which provide venture capital or long-term share capital in exchange for an
ownership interest in another entity. 
 (B) Adjustment. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of Parent, the exercise price and the number and kind of shares (or other property, including, without limitation cash) subject to the Options shall be equitably
adjusted to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the value of the Options (taking into account any amounts set aside in the Dividend Escrow (as defined below) or paid to the Executive (in either case pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(C) as a result
of such event)). 
 (C) Dividend Equivalents. The Rollover Options shall provide that, as soon as practicable (but in any event within
twenty (20) days) following the date (the “Dividend Date”) of payment of any cash distribution or dividend on the Parent Common Shares to Parent shareholders generally (a “Dividend”), Parent shall, with respect
to each Rollover Option that is In-the-Money (as defined below) as of the Dividend Date, provide the Executive with the dividend equivalent rights and payments set forth below: 
  

 -3- 









	 	(i)	Vested Rollover Options. Parent shall distribute to the Executive, with respect to the Rollover Options that are vested on or before the Dividend Date, an amount in cash (the
“Dividend Equivalent Amount”) equal to the amount of any dividend that the Executive would otherwise have been entitled to receive on (x) the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such Rollover Options minus (y) the
number of Parent Common Shares attributable to the exercise price of such Rollover Options (determined by dividing the aggregate exercise price of such Rollover Options by the Value (as defined below)). 

  

	 	(ii)	Unvested Rollover Options. With respect to the Rollover Options that are not vested on the Dividend Date, Parent shall credit to an escrow account (the “Dividend
Escrow”) an amount in cash equal to the Dividend Equivalent Amount that would have been distributed to the Executive pursuant to clause (i) above had such Rollover Options been vested (which cash amount shall be credited with interest
at the lesser of the interest rate applicable to Parent’s revolving credit agreement, as in effect from time to time, or 5% compound interest per annum) and, subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, such escrow account will
be distributed to the Executive as soon as practicable following the date upon which such Rollover Options vest. 

 For purposes of this
Section 2.1, the “Value” of a Parent Common Share on any given date shall mean (1) if such date occurs prior to an IPO, the fair market value of a Parent Common Share as determined at the time of the most recent valuation
of Parent Common Shares prior to such date for purposes of granting options to purchase Parent Common Shares or for other purposes in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee (the “Recent Valuation”) and (2) if
such date occurs after an IPO and the Parent Common Shares are publicly traded on any national exchange or automated interdealer market, the mean between the highest and lowest reported sales prices of a Parent Common Share on such exchange or
market on such date, or if such exchange or market is not open for trading on the relevant date, on the last preceding date on which there was a sale of Parent Common Shares on such exchange or market. 
 For purposes of this Section 2.1, a Rollover Option is “In-the-Money” on any date if it has an exercise price per share that is lower than the
Value of a Parent Common Share at the close of business on such date. 
 2.2 Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be eligible to participate, on the same basis and at the same level as other similarly situated senior executives of the Company generally, in any group insurance, hospitalization, medical, vision, health and accident, disability, life
insurance and enhanced executive life insurance, fringe benefit and retirement plans or programs of the Company now existing or hereafter established to the extent that he is eligible under the general provisions thereof (including eligibility
provisions relating to pre-privatization and post-privatization employment status). During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to 25 days vacation time annually, and with vacation accruals consistent with the Company’s
policies at such time as applied to similarly situated executives of the Company generally up to a maximum of 60 days. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an annual car/club/financial planning allowance of up to $20,000,
subject to such documentation of expenditures as the Company may reasonably require. 
  

 -4- 








 2.3 Expenses. During the Employment Period, pursuant to the Company’s customary reimbursement
policies in force at the time of payment, the Executive shall be promptly reimbursed, subject to the Executive’s presentation of vouchers or receipts therefor, for all expenses incurred by the Executive on behalf of the Company or any of its
Affiliates in the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. 
 2.4 Relocation Expenses. The Company will promptly
reimburse the Executive, subject to the Executive’s presentation of vouchers or receipts therefor, for the Executive’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s relocation to Washington, D.C., and will obtain
temporary housing for the Executive and the Executive’s immediate family in the Washington D.C. area for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of five months after the Effective Date or the date
on which the Executive purchases a residence in the Washington D.C. area. To the extent that such reimbursement causes the Executive to incur income taxes, the Company will fully gross up the reimbursement to account for the income tax liability.

 3. Employment Period. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Time, and shall
terminate on the first anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 (the “Initial Employment Period”). Unless written notice of either party’s desire to terminate this Agreement has been given to
the other party at least ninety days but no more than one hundred and twenty days prior to the expiration of the Initial Employment Period (or any renewal thereof contemplated by this sentence), the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder
shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods (such term, including the Initial Employment Period, as it may be extended, the “Employment Period”). A notice of non-renewal provided by the Company shall be treated as
a termination by the Company without Cause for purposes of Sections 4.4(a), (b), and (c) (and the Company shall have no additional obligation other than the payment of the Executive’s earned but unpaid compensation through the effective
date of such termination, except as otherwise required by law or the terms of the Company’s benefit plans), and a notice of non-renewal provided by the Executive shall be treated as a termination by the Executive without Good Reason for
purposes of Section 4.6. 
 4. Termination and Forfeiture of Payments and Benefits. 
 4.1 Termination by the Company for Cause. The Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated at any time by the Company for Cause.
Upon such a termination, the Company shall have no obligation to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement other than the payment of the Executive’s earned and unpaid compensation through the effective date of such termination, except as
otherwise required by law or by the terms of the Company’s benefit plans. All New Options that are outstanding and unexercised as of the date of termination (and the Dividend Escrow account) shall be forfeited as of the date of termination, and
Parent may repurchase any Parent Common Shares held by the Executive as a result of the exercise of New Options at any time and from time to time after the date of termination for a purchase price equal to the lower of the aggregate exercise price
of such Options and the 
  

 -5- 








 aggregate fair market value of such Parent Common Shares pursuant to the Recent Valuation prior to such termination and,
following such repurchase, the Executive shall have no rights with respect to such shares other than the receipt of such amount. 
 For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) the Executive’s failure to perform materially his duties under the Agreement (other than by reason of illness or disability), (ii) the
Executive’s commission of, or plea of no contest to, a felony or his commission of, or plea of no contest to, any other crime involving moral turpitude or his commission of a material dishonest act or fraud against the Company or any of its
Affiliates, (iii) any act or omission by the Executive that is the result of his misconduct or gross negligence and that is, or may reasonably be expected to be, materially injurious to the financial condition, business or reputation of the
Company or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) the Executive’s breach of any material provision of this Agreement. Any such occurrence described in clause (i) or (iv) of the preceding sentence that is curable shall constitute
“Cause” only after the Company has given the Executive written notice of, and twenty (20) business days’ opportunity to cure, such violation, and then only if such occurrence is not cured. 
 4.2 Permanent Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive becomes disabled within the meaning of the Company’s applicable
long-term disability plan, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company upon written notice to the Executive. Upon such a termination, the Company shall have no obligation to the Executive other than
to pay the Executive’s earned and unpaid compensation through the effective date of such termination and to treat the Options as described below in this Section 4.2, except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of the Company’s
benefit plans. Any New Options and Rollover Options that are not vested as of the date of termination shall vest as of the date of termination. Following the Executive’s termination of employment under this Section 4.2, Section 4.4(c)
shall apply to any repurchase by Parent of Parent Common Shares held by the Executive as a result of the exercise of Options. 
 4.3
Death. The Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate automatically upon the death of the Executive and the Company shall have no obligation to the Executive or the Executive’s estate other than to pay the
Executive’s earned and unpaid compensation through the date of the Executive’s death, and to treat the Options as described below in this Section 4.3, except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of the Company’s benefit
plans. Any New Options and Rollover Options that are not vested as of the date of death shall vest as of the date of death. Following the Executive’s death, Section 4.4(c) shall apply to any repurchase by Parent of Parent Common Shares
held by the Executive as a result of the exercise of Options. 
 4.4 Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Executive’s
employment with the Company may be terminated at any time by the Company without Cause. In such event, the Executive shall have the rights set forth in the subparagraphs below. 
 (a) Severance. Subject to the Executive’s continued compliance with his obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall have no
obligation to the Executive other than: (i) the payment of the Executive’s earned and unpaid compensation through the effective date of such termination; (ii) the payment of any deferred bonus, subject to the provisions of 

 

 -6- 








 Section 409A of the Code; (iii) the payment of an amount equal to 200% (the “Severance Percentage”)
of the sum of the Executive’s annual Base Salary plus the Executive’s Target Bonus of 87.5% of the Base Salary (but not the Additional Bonus), 50% of which amount shall be paid to the Executive upon the first business day following the six
month anniversary of the date of termination of employment and the remainder of which shall be paid to the Executive in equal installments each month thereafter for six months; and (iv) treatment of the Options as described below in Sections
4.4(b) and (c), except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of the Company’s benefit plans (excluding severance plans); provided, that (A) during the first twelve (12) months of the Employment Period, the Severance
Percentage shall decline by 8.33% at the end of each one month period commencing at the Effective Time to become a Severance Percentage of 100% at the end of the Initial Employment Period and (B) if the termination without Cause occurs within
the six-month period after a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4.8 below), in lieu of the cash severance benefits set forth in clause (iii) above, the Executive shall receive the payment over a 12-month period in equal monthly
installments of an amount equal to the product of the Severance Percentage and the sum of the Executive’s annual Base Salary plus the greatest of (x) the Executive’s Target Bonus (but not the Additional Bonus) as in effect as of the
date of termination, (y) the Target Bonus (but not the Additional Bonus) paid to the Executive for the year immediately preceding the year in which the date of termination occurs, or (z) 87.5% of the Base Salary. In the event that the
Executive is eligible to receive the severance benefits provided for by this Section 4.4(a), the Executive shall not be eligible to receive severance benefits under any other plan, policy, or agreement of the Company or its Affiliates. With
respect to clauses (i) and (ii), and for the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the Company might pay, after the Executive’s termination date, to its or its Affiliates’ employees a bonus relating to the Company’s performance
during all or any part of the period when the Executive was an employee of the Company shall not give rise to any entitlement by the Executive to any such bonus, or to the Target Bonus or the Additional Bonus, whether as earned compensation, a
deferred bonus, or otherwise. 
 (b) Rollover Options; New Options. Any Rollover Options will vest and any unvested New Options shall
be forfeited as of the date of termination; provided, that if the termination without Cause occurs within the six-month period after a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4.8 below), all unvested New Options shall vest as of the
date of termination. 
 (c) Repurchase and Cancellation Right. Any (i) Parent Common Shares held by the Executive as a result of
the exercise of Options may be repurchased by Parent at a price per share equal to the fair market value of a Parent Common Share as determined pursuant to the Recent Valuation prior to such termination, at any time following (x) the date of
termination of employment, in the event such Parent Common Shares were held as of such termination and (y) the exercise of Options, in the event such exercise occurred after the date of termination of employment, provided, that Parent
Common Shares acquired upon exercise of Options after termination of employment shall be purchased at a price per share equal to the fair market value of Parent Common Shares as determined pursuant to the Recent Valuation prior to the applicable
exercise date; and (ii) outstanding and unexercised Options may be cancelled by Parent at any time following the date of termination of employment in exchange for a payment to the Executive in an amount per Option equal to the fair market value
of a Parent Common Share as determined pursuant to the Recent Valuation prior to such termination minus the exercise price of such Option. 
  

 -7- 








 4.5 Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. (a) During the Employment Period, the
Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason, if the Executive provides the Company with notice within 60 days following the Executive’s knowledge of the event constituting Good Reason. In the
event that the Executive terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits that he would have been entitled to receive under Section 4.4 if his employment had been
terminated by the Company without Cause and the Company shall be entitled to the repurchase rights thereunder. 
 (b) For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following conditions or events without the Executive’s written prior consent: (i) a material diminution of the Executive’s position or responsibilities that is
inconsistent with the Executive’s title (provided, that (x) any change in the Executive’s position or responsibilities that occurs as a result of a corporate transaction or (y) any change in the Executive’s position
or responsibilities pursuant to an internal reorganization, in each case following which the Executive’s overall level of responsibility at the Company (but without regard to the specific duties set forth in the proviso in the second sentence
of Section 1.2 above) is not materially diminished, shall not give rise to Good Reason under clause (i) or (ii) of this definition; provided further, and for the avoidance of doubt, that a material diminution of the
Executive’s duties and responsibilities with respect to his role as the executive responsible for the sales and marketing and engineering functions of the Company and all subsidiaries of Parent at any time during the Employment Period shall
give rise to Good Reason under this clause (i) or (ii) of this definition), (ii) a material breach by the Company of any terms of this Agreement (provided, that, a change in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities shall not be
treated as a material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that, a change in the Executive’s title as Chief Operating Officer (but not a change in his title as President) pursuant to Section 1.2 above shall be
treated as a material breach of the terms of this Agreement), (iii) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus, or the failure to pay the Executive any material amount of compensation when due, (iv) a requirement that
the Executive report to any person other than the Chief Executive Officer of Intelsat, or (v) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of business more than fifty (50) miles away from Washington, D.C. Any such occurrence shall
constitute “Good Reason” only after the Executive has given the Company written notice of, and twenty (20) business days’ opportunity to cure, such violation, and then only if such occurrence is not cured. 
 4.6 Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. The Executive may voluntarily resign from his employment with the Company without Good
Reason, provided, that the Executive shall provide the Company with ninety (90) days’ advance written notice (which notice requirement may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion) of his intent to
terminate. Upon such a termination, the Company shall have no obligation other than the payment of the Executive’s earned but unpaid compensation through the effective date of such termination, except as otherwise required by law or by the
terms of the Company’s benefit plans. All unvested Options (and the Dividend Escrow account) shall be immediately forfeited. Any (i) Parent Common Shares held by the Executive as a result of the exercise of Options and (ii) Options,
may be repurchased (or cancelled, in the case of Options) by Parent at any time during the two-year period following such termination of employment at a price per share (or Option) equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of (x) the fair
market value of a Parent 
  

 -8- 








 Common Share determined pursuant to the Recent Valuation prior to such termination minus the value of any dividends,
distributions or dividend equivalents previously paid to the Executive in respect of such share or Option and minus the applicable exercise price (in the case of Options), subject to equitable adjustment in Parent’s discretion to reflect
dividends, distributions, corporate transactions, or similar events, to the extent not reflected in this clause (x), or (y) $0, or (ii) in the case of Parent Common Shares held by the Executive as a result of the exercise of Options
(x) the exercise price per share paid by the Executive in purchasing such shares minus (y) the value of any dividends, distributions or dividend equivalents previously paid to the Executive in respect of such share or Option (subject to
equitable adjustment in Parent’s discretion to reflect dividends, distributions, corporate transactions, or similar events, to the extent not reflected in this clause (y)) but in no event less than $0. 
 4.7 Release of Claims and Cooperation. As a condition to receiving the payments set forth in Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 upon a
termination by the Company without Cause (or upon a notice of non-renewal by the Company) or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be required to execute and not revoke a waiver and release of claims in favor of the Company and its
Affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and, for a 180-day period following such employment termination, shall make himself reasonably available to provide transition services and consultation to the Company, subject to his other
business and personal commitments. 
 4.8 Definition of Change of Control. A “Change of Control” shall mean
(i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time) not affiliated with Parent or its owners immediately prior to
such acquisition of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50%, indirectly or directly, of the equity vote of Parent (other than any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by Parent or any Affiliate) or (ii) consummation of an amalgamation, a merger or consolidation of Parent or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof with any other entity or a sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of Parent following which the voting securities of Parent that are outstanding immediately prior to such transaction cease to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity (or the entity that owns substantially all of Parent’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) or any parent or other Affiliate thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the
securities of Parent or, if Parent is not the surviving entity, such surviving entity (or the entity that owns substantially all of Parent’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) or any parent or other Affiliate thereof,
outstanding immediately after such transaction. 
 4.9 Resignation. Upon a termination of employment, the Executive will upon the
Company’s request resign from all boards of directors and officer positions of the Company and any of its Affiliates, and from all boards of directors and officer positions with other companies or organizations to which the Executive was
appointed at the request or on the designation of the Company. 
 4.10 No Mitigation. In the event of any termination of the
Executive’s employment under this Section 4, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment, and no amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced by mitigation whether or not the Executive obtains other
employment.

 5. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be
applicable to any compensation or benefit that is treated by the Internal Revenue Service as a “parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code) with respect to compensation and benefits related to
(i) the Rollover Options solely and/or (ii) the Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to any of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time solely in
respect of Excise Tax resulting from the consummation of the Merger (whether alone or in conjunction with any other event (including, without limitation, the Executive’s termination of employment)). In the event of the termination of the
Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.6 or for any reason on or after the Effective Time, this Section 5 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. 
 5.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any Payment would
be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed
with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income and employment taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The Company’s obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under this Section 5 shall not be conditioned upon the Executive’s termination of employment. 
 5.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, all determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a
Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by PricewaterhouseCoopers, or such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as
may be designated by the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive
that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive may
appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne
solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five (5) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that
Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company should have been made (the “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to
Section 5.3 and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or
for the benefit of the Executive.

 5.3 The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that,
if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than 10 business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim. The Executive
shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Executive gives such
notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires to
contest such claim, the Executive shall: 
 (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,

 (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, 
 (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
 (iv) permit the Company to
participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; 
 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, income and employment tax (including interest and
penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest, and,
at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either pay the tax claimed to the
appropriate taxing authority on behalf of the Executive and direct the Executive to sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative
tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that, if the Company pays such claim and directs the Executive to sue for a refund, the Company shall
indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax, income and employment tax (including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such
payment; and provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. 
  

 -11- 








 Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which the Gross-Up
Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 5.4 If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or payment by the Company of an amount on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to
Section 5.3, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up Payment relates or with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the
requirements of Section 5.3, if applicable) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after payment by the Company of an amount on the
Executive’s behalf pursuant to Section 5.3, a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such
denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 5.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue
Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding. 
 5.6 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 5. 
 (a) “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed
with respect to such excise tax, other than any such excise tax imposed as a result of any Payment relating to any grants of Parent Common Shares, options on Parent Common Shares or any other right with respect to Parent Common Shares, in all cases
the granting of which is not provided for in this Agreement. 
 (b) A “Payment” shall mean any payment or distribution in
the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. 
 6. Covenants. 
 6.1 The Executive
understands that, in the course of his employment with the Company, he will be given access to confidential information and trade secrets including, but not limited to, discoveries, ideas, concepts, software in various stages of development,
designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, object code, documentation, diagrams, flowcharts, research, development, processes, procedures, “know-how,” marketing techniques and materials, marketing and
development plans, business plans, merger or acquisition investigations, customer names and other information relating to customers, price lists, pricing policies, and financial information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential
Information also includes any information described above which the Company obtains from 
  

 -12- 








 another party and which the Company treats as proprietary or designates as Confidential Information, whether or not owned
or developed by the Company. The Executive agrees that during his employment by the Company and thereafter he will hold in confidence and not to directly or indirectly reveal, report, publish, disclose, or transfer any Confidential Information to
any person or entity, or utilize any Confidential Information for any purpose, except in the course of the Executive’s work for the Company. The Executive agrees to turn over all copies of Confidential Information in his control to the Company
upon request or upon termination of his employment with the Company. For purposes of this Section 6.1, Company shall include Affiliates of the Company. The Executive agrees to enter into as of the Effective Time the Company’s general
Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Agreement set forth on Exhibit B. 
 6.2 The Executive agrees that, during his
employment with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), he will not, either directly or indirectly, hire Company employees or former employees (which shall for this purpose include any individual
employed by the Company at any point during the year preceding such hiring), induce, persuade, solicit or attempt to induce, persuade, or solicit any of the Company’s employees to leave the Company’s employ, nor will he help others to do
so. This means, among other things, that if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), he shall refrain during the Restricted Period from giving any person or entity the names of his former,
fellow employees or any information about them, as well as refrain from in any way helping any person or entity hire any of his former, fellow employees away from the Company. This shall not be construed to prohibit general solicitations of
employment through the placing of advertisements. For purposes of this Section 6.2, Company shall include Affiliates of the Company. 
 6.3 The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, engage in or become associated with any business or other endeavor engaged in or competitive with the businesses (the
“Protected Businesses”) conducted by the Company or its Affiliates or projected to be conducted by the Company or its Affiliates in the five-year business plan (the “Business Plan”) of the Company or its Affiliates in
effect as of the Executive’s date of termination of employment (which Protected Businesses include, without limitation, the provision of commercial satellite services on a retail basis, a wholesale basis and on a distributor basis);
provided, that the Protected Businesses shall not include any other businesses of an entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any Investor (unless those businesses are businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
businesses of other entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns 20% or more of the equity interests); provided, further, that the Protected Businesses shall not include any businesses which did not provide for the Company’s
immediately prior fiscal year, or is not projected in the Business Plan in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination of employment to provide for the Company’s then-current fiscal year or for any of the immediately following five
(5) fiscal years, 5% or more of the consolidated revenues of the Company and its Affiliates. For these purposes, the Executive shall be considered to have become “associated with” a business or other endeavor if the Executive becomes
directly or indirectly involved as an owner, principal, employee, officer, director, independent contractor, representative, stockholder, financial backer, agent, partner, advisor, lender, or in any other individual or representative capacity with
any individual, partnership, corporation or other organization that is engaged in that business. The foregoing shall not be construed to forbid the Executive from making or retaining investments in less than one percent of the equity of any entity,
if such equity is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter market. 
  

 -13- 








 6.4 The Executive agrees that during and after his employment by the Company and its Affiliates, the
Executive will assist the Company and its Affiliates in the defense of any claims, or potential claims that may be made or threatened to be made against the Company or any of its Affiliates in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or otherwise (a “Proceeding”), and will assist the Company and its Affiliates in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or any of its Affiliates in any Proceeding, to the extent
that such claims may relate to the Executive’s employment or the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Executive agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Executive
is asked to participate (or otherwise become involved) in any Proceeding involving such claims or potential claims. The Executive also agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Executive is asked to assist in any
investigation (whether governmental or otherwise) of the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to such investigation. The
Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including lost wages or other benefits, travel expenses and any attorneys’ fees. 
 6.5 The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 6 have been specifically
negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Section 6:
(i) are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Executive and (iv) are not
injurious to the public. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Executive’s breach of the provisions of this Section 6 will cause the Company irreparable harm, which cannot be adequately compensated by money
damages, and (y) if the Company elects to prevent the Executive from breaching such provisions by obtaining an injunction against the Executive, there is a reasonable probability of the Company’s eventual success on the merits. The
Executive consents and agrees that if the Executive commits any such breach or threatens to commit any breach, the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any
bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Company for such breach, including the recovery of money damages. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 8.9 below are accurate and necessary because (A) this Agreement is entered into in the District of Columbia, (B) as of the Effective Time, the District of Columbia will have a
substantial relationship to the parties hereto, (C) the use of District of Columbia law provides certainty to the parties hereto in any covenant litigation in the United States, and (D) enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6
would not violate any fundamental public policy of the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction. In the event that the agreements in this Section 6 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason
of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, they shall be 
  

 -14- 








 interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum
geographical area as to which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

 8. Miscellaneous. 
 8.1 Representation. No agreements or obligations exist to which the Executive is a party or otherwise bound, in writing or otherwise, that in any
way interfere with, impede or preclude him from fulfilling all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and there are no material (i) threatened claims that (x) are unresolved and still outstanding as of the date hereof and
(y) have been received by the Executive in writing during the 24 months prior to the date hereof, (ii) existing claims, and (iii) pending claims, in each case, against him of which he is aware, if any, as a result of his employment
with any previous employer or his membership on any boards of directors which could be reasonably expected to be materially damaging to the Executive monetarily, reputationally or otherwise. 
 8.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain the entire understanding of the parties in respect
of their subject matter and supersede upon their effectiveness all other prior plans, arrangements, agreements and understandings, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement, dated August 20, 2004, between the Executive and
PanAmSat Corporation (the “Prior Agreement”) and any term sheet (and any illustrative projections set forth therein) summarizing the terms memorialized in this Agreement). In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated, this
Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no further force and effect and the Prior Agreement shall remain fully in effect. 
 8.3 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written instrument executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other
provision. 
 8.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of any
successor of the Company by reorganization, merger or consolidation, or any assignee of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and properties. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its
Affiliates without the consent of the Executive. The Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by the Executive. 
  

 -16- 








 8.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall
not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 8.6 Governing Law; Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws and public policy (other than conflict of laws principles) of the District of Columbia applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed therein. 
 8.7 Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver and perform, and cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered
and performed, at any time and from time to time, as the case may be, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions or intent of this
Agreement. 
 8.8 Severability. The parties have carefully reviewed the provisions of this Agreement and agree that they are fair and
equitable. However, in light of the possibility of differing interpretations of law and changes in circumstances, the parties agree that if any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Moreover, if any of the
provisions contained in this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographic application or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting or reducing it to the extent legally
permitted, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law. 
 8.9 Dispute Resolution. Arbitration will be
the method of resolving disputes under the Agreement, other than disputes arising under Section 6. All arbitrations arising out of this Agreement shall be conducted in Washington, D.C. Subject to the following provisions, the arbitration shall
be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) then in effect. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon
by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrators shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award a
remedy for a dispute involving this Agreement other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for its own expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall share the fees of the Association equally. 
 8.10 Legal Fees; Other Expenses. The
Company will promptly reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and documented legal fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the drafting, negotiation and execution of this Agreement. 
  

 -17- 








 8.11 Indemnification. The Company will, to a degree no less favorable than would be applicable
under its policies and contractual obligations to similarly situated senior executives as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from any and all liability arising from his good faith performance of
services pursuant to this Agreement as an employee, officer, or director of the Company, its subsidiaries and any of its Affiliates. In addition, the Executive will have the benefit of coverage under any D&O insurance policy that the Company may
have in place to the same extent as similarly situated senior executives of the Company. 
 8.12 Withholding Taxes. All payments
hereunder shall be subject to any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding taxes and all other applicable withholding amounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the delivery of Parent Common Shares upon
exercise of Options shall be conditioned upon the Executive’s satisfaction of all applicable withholding requirements by direct payment to the Company, withholding from cash payments otherwise due to the Executive, or a combination thereof.

 8.13 Section 409A. If any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of
Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation and agreement with the Executive, modify this Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred
compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such
statutory provisions and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Executive. 
 8.14 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

 EXHIBIT A 
 FORM OF SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
 This Separation Agreement and Release of Claims
(“Agreement”) is made by and among NAME (“Employee”), an individual, Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. (“Parent”) and
[                                        ]
(“the “Company”). 
 WHEREAS, the Employee is a party to an Employment Agreement with Parent and the Company, dated as of
[                    ], 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Employee’s employment with the Company will terminate as of
                     and Intelsat desires to provide Employee with separation benefits as set forth in his Employment Agreement to assist
Employee in the period of transition following Employee’s termination; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
releases contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	1)	Separation Benefits. 

  

	 	a)	Separation Date and Final Paycheck. Employee’s employment with Intelsat will terminate effective
                     (the “Separation Date”). The Employee received normal compensation up to and including that date, including a
lump sum payment for all earned but unused vacation less all required tax withholdings and other authorized deductions. 

  

	 	b)	Severance Pay. Following Employee’s execution and non-revocation of this Agreement, and provided all Company property has been returned, Intelsat will pay to Employee
severance pay in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, less all required tax withholdings and other authorized deductions. 

  

	 	c)	Continued Coverage Under Group Health Plans. Employee shall be entitled to elect to continue coverage under each of the Company’s group health plans in which he was
enrolled as of the date his coverage ceases in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, consistent with the status and level of coverage that was in place as of such date, in accordance with the requirements of the Consolidate Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 and its relevant regulations (“COBRA”). Employee shall be solely responsible for paying the full amount of all premiums that are chargeable in connection with such coverage, subject to all requirements of
COBRA. 

  

	 	d)	Except as set forth in this Agreement or as required by federal, state or local law, Employee shall not be entitled to any additional benefits relating to Employee’s separation
of employment; provided, however, that this Agreement does not affect or impair Employee’s rights to the benefits identified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement [list specific entitlements]. 

  

 A-1- 









	 	2)	Release. Employee, on Employee’s own part and on behalf of Employee’s dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors, and each of
them, hereby covenants not to sue and fully releases, acquits, and discharges the Company, and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, owners, trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees, stockholders, representatives, assigns, and successors
(collectively referred to as “Intelsat Releasees”) with respect to and from any and all claims, wages, agreements, contracts, covenants, actions, suits, causes of action, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, and liabilities of whatever
kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which Employee has at any time heretofore owned or held against said Intelsat Releasees, including, without
limitation, those arising out of or in any way connected with Employee’s employment relationship with Intelsat or Employee’s separation from employment with Intelsat, except with respect to those benefits set forth in Paragraph 1 of this
Agreement. 

  

	 	3)	Time to Consider Agreement. Employee may take twenty-one (21) days from the date this Release is presented to Employee to consider whether to execute this
Release, and may wish to consult with an attorney prior to execution of this Release. Employee, by signing this Agreement, specially acknowledges that he/she is waiving his/her right to pursue any claims under federal, state or local discrimination
laws, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 626 et seq., which have arisen prior to the execution of this Release. This release shall become final and irrevocable upon execution by the Employee, except
that if Employee is age 40 or older, Employee may revoke the Release at any time during the seven (7) day period following Employee’s execution of the Release, after which time it shall be final and irrevocable. 


 

	 	4)	Restrictive Covenants Intact. Employee hereby acknowledges the continuing validity and enforceability of the terms of the Employment Agreement (including without
limitation the cooperation covenant of Section 4.7 (“Cooperation”), the no-hire and nonsolicitation covenant of Section 6.2 (“Nonsolicitation”), the noncompetition covenant of Section 6.3 (the
“Noncompete”)), the Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Agreement, and/or any other confidentiality agreement or restrictive covenant that Employee signed during Employee’s employment with the Company. Employee hereby
affirms his/her understanding that Employee must remain in compliance with those terms following the Separation Date. In the event that it should be proven in a court of competent jurisdiction that Employee has materially violated any of the terms
of the Cooperation, Nonsolicitation or Noncompete covenant or the Confidentiality Agreement and has failed to cure such breach following receipt of written notice of same and a reasonable opportunity to cure, Employee shall repay the Company, in
addition to any other relief or damages to which Intelsat might be entitled, the Separation Benefits described in subparagraph 1(b). 

  

	 	5)	Confidentiality. Employee and the Company agree that the existence and terms of this Agreement are strictly confidential and that neither party shall disclose the
existence or terms of this Agreement except as required by law or regulation. Employee further agrees that if Employee breaches this confidentiality provision, Employee shall repay the Company the Separation Benefits described in subparagraph 1(b).


  

 A-2- 









	 	6)	Nondisparagement. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that Employee will not at any time, directly or indirectly, orally, in writing or through any medium (including,
but not limited to, the press or other media, computer networks or bulletin boards, or any other form of communication) disparage, defame, or otherwise damage or assail the reputation, integrity or professionalism of the Company or any of the
Intelsat Releasees. Employee further agrees that if Employee breaches this nondisparagement provision, Employee shall repay Intelsat the Separation Benefits described in subparagraph 1(b). 

  

	 	7)	References. All inquiries to the Company concerning Employee’s employment shall be directed to the [Senior Vice President of Corporate Services and
Government Relations], who shall confirm dates of employment and level of compensation of the Employee during Employee’s employment with Intelsat. 

  

	 	8)	Miscellaneous. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable,
the Agreement shall be revised only to the extent necessary to make such provision(s) legal and enforceable. 

  

	 	9)	Return of Property. Employee hereby represents to the Company that all property belonging to Intelsat has been returned, including, without limitation, all keys,
access cards, credit cards, passwords, access codes, and other information necessary to access any computer or electronic database; all books, files, documents, and electronic media; and all Company property of any kind that Employee has in his/her
possession or control, or that Employee obtained from the Company. 

  

	 	10)	Entire Agreement. Employee agrees that this Agreement contains and comprises the entire agreement and understanding between Employee, Parent and the Company regarding
Employee’s termination of employment; that there are no additional promises between Employee and Parent and/or the Company other than those contained in this Agreement or any continuing obligations as described in paragraphs 1(e), 4 and 6; and
that this Agreement shall not be changed or modified in any way except through a writing that is signed by both the Employee and the Company; provided, that the obligations of Employee under the Shareholders Agreement remain in effect without
amendment by this Agreement.

 INTELSAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST 
 AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of my employment or continuing employment by Intelsat and the compensation received from Intelsat by me from time to time and other good and valuable
