(collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus dated                 , 2009 (the
“Prospectus”), and the related Tender Documents (as defined below), which together, as they may be supplemented or amended from time to time, constitute the “Offer.” All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Offer. 
 WHEREAS, the Company hereby appoints Wells
Fargo to act as the exchange agent and depositary (together, the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the Offer. References hereinafter to “you” shall refer to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Exchange Agent. 
 The Offer is expected to be commenced by the Company on
                , 2009. The Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the Letter to Registered Holders, the Letter to Depository Trust Company
Participants, the Letter of Clients and the Instructions to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner (collectively, the “Tender Documents”) accompanying the Prospectus (or in the case of book-entry securities, the Automated Tender Offer
Program of DTC (as defined below)) is to be used by the holders of the Notes to accept the Offer. The Tender Documents contain instructions with respect to the delivery of certificates for Notes tendered in connection therewith. 
 The Offer shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
                , 2009, or on such subsequent date or time to which the Company may extend the Offer (the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Offer, the Company expressly reserves the right to extend the Offer from time to time and may extend the Offer by giving oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice to you before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
business day following the scheduled Expiration Date. 
 The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
(1) delay accepting any validly tendered Notes or (2) terminate or amend the Offer, in each case, by giving oral or written notice (any such oral notice to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such delay, termination or amendment to the
Exchange Agent. Any such delay in acceptance, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement thereof by the Company. 







 In carrying out your duties as Exchange Agent, you are to act in accordance with the following
instructions: 
  

	1.	You will perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer” or as specifically set
forth herein; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing. 

  

	2.	You will establish a book-entry account in respect of the Notes at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) within two business days after the date of the Prospectus in
connection with the Offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the DTC system may make book-entry delivery of the Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Notes into the account maintained by you, pursuant to this section, in accordance
with DTC’s procedures for such transfer, and you may affect a withdrawal of Notes through such account by book-entry movement as requested by the participant. The account shall be maintained until all Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer shall
have been either accepted or returned. 

  

	3.	You are to examine each of the Letters of Transmittal and certificates for Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at DTC) and any other documents delivered
or mailed to you by or for holders of the Notes to ascertain whether: (a) the Letters of Transmittal and any such other documents are duly executed and properly completed in accordance with instructions set forth therein; and (b) the Notes
have otherwise been properly tendered. In each case where the Letter of Transmittal or any other document has been improperly completed or executed or any of the certificates for Notes are not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity
in connection with the acceptance of the Offer exists, you will endeavor to inform the presenters of the need for fulfillment of all requirements and to take any other action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause such irregularity to
be corrected. 

  

	4.	With the written approval of the Chairman or Deputy Chairman (the “Executive Officers”), or any other party designated in writing by such officer of the Company, you are
authorized to waive any irregularities in connection with any tender pursuant to the Offer. 

  

	5.	Tenders of Notes may be made only as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering
your Original Notes” and Notes shall be considered properly tendered or delivered to you only when tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth therein. 

  

	6.	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement, Notes that any Executive Officer of the Company shall approve as having been properly tendered shall be
considered to be properly tendered (such approval, if given orally, shall be promptly confirmed in writing). 

  

	7.	You shall advise the Company with respect to any Notes received subsequent to the Expiration Date and accept its instructions with respect to disposition of such Notes.


  

 2 









	8.	You shall accept tenders: 

  

	 	(a)	in cases where the Notes are registered in two or more names only if signed by all named holders; 

  

	 	(b)	in cases where the signing person (as indicated on the Letter of Transmittal) is acting in a fiduciary or a representative capacity only when proper evidence of his or
her authority so to act is submitted; and 

  

	 	(c)	from persons other than the registered holder of Notes, provided that customary transfer requirements, including payment of any applicable transfer taxes, if any, are
fulfilled. 

  

	9.	You shall accept partial tenders of Notes where so indicated and as permitted in the Letter of Transmittal and deliver certificates for Notes to the registrar for
split-up and return any untendered Notes to the holder (or such other person as may be designated in the Letter of Transmittal) as promptly as practicable after expiration or termination of the Offer. 

  

	10.	Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Offer, the Company will notify you (such notice, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of
its acceptance, promptly after the Expiration Date, of all Notes properly tendered indicating the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted. You, on behalf of the Company, will exchange, in accordance with the terms hereof, accepted Notes for
Exchange Notes and cause such Notes to be canceled. Delivery of the Exchange Notes will be made on behalf of the Company by you at the rate of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, of Exchange Notes for each
$2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, of the corresponding series of Notes tendered promptly after notice (such notice if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of acceptance of such Notes by the
Company; provided, however, that in all cases, Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer will be exchanged only after timely receipt by you of certificates for such Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at DTC), a
properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an agent’s message in lieu thereof. You shall issue Exchange Notes
only in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  

	11.	Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, except that, subject to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of
Transmittal, Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. 

  

	12.	The Company shall not be required to exchange any Notes tendered if any of the conditions set forth in the Offer are not met. Notice of any decision by the Company not
to exchange any Notes tendered shall be given (such notice, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) by the Company to you.

	13.	If, pursuant to the Offer, the Company does not accept for exchange all or part of the Notes tendered, you shall as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the
Offer return those certificates for unaccepted Notes (or effect appropriate book-entry transfer), together with any related required documents and the Letters of Transmittal relating thereto that are in your possession, to the persons who deposited
them. 

  

	14.	All certificates for Exchange Notes and unaccepted Notes shall be forwarded by first-class mail or (in the cases of Notes tendered by book-entry transfer) by book-entry transfer to
the DTC account specified by the holder of the Notes in the Letter of Transmittal (or agent’s message in lieu thereof). 

  

	15.	You are not authorized to pay or offer to pay any concessions, commissions or solicitation fees to any broker, dealer, bank or other persons or to engage or utilize any person to
solicit tenders. 

  

	16.	As Exchange Agent hereunder you:

you and the Company;

satisfactory to you; 

  

	 	(e)	may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document or security delivered to
you and reasonably believed by you to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons; 

  

	 	(f)	may act upon any tender, statement, request, document, certificate, agreement or other instrument whatsoever not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its

	 	(g)	may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon written instructions from any Executive Officer of the Company;

	 	(i)	shall not advise any person tendering Notes pursuant to the Offer as to the wisdom of making such tender or as to the market value or decline or appreciation in market value of any
security, including the Notes. 

  

	17.	You shall take such action as may from time to time be requested by the Company (and such other action as you may deem appropriate) to furnish copies of the Prospectus, Letter of
Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as described in the Prospectus), or such other forms as may be approved from time to time by the Company, to all persons requesting such documents and to accept and comply with telephone requests
for information relating to the Offer, provided that such information shall relate only to the procedures for accepting (or withdrawing from) the Offer. All other requests for information relating to the Offer shall be directed to the Company,
Attention: Deputy Chairman. 

  

	18.	You are authorized to cooperate with and to furnish information to any organization (and its representatives) designated from time to time by the Company in the manner directed or
authorized by the Company in connection with the Offer and any tenders thereunder. 

  

	19.	You shall advise by e-mail or facsimile transmission Phillip L. Spector, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the Company (at the facsimile number (202) 944-7440 or the e-mail address
phil.spector@intelsat.com and such other person or persons as the Company may request, weekly (and more frequently during the week immediately preceding the Expiration Date, and more frequently if requested) up to and including the Expiration Date,
as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes which have been tendered pursuant to the Offer and the items received by you pursuant to this Agreement, separately reporting and giving cumulative totals as to items properly received and items
improperly received. In addition, you also will inform, and cooperate in making available to, the Company or any such other person or persons upon oral request made from time to time prior to the Expiration Date of such other information as they may
reasonably request. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the granting by you to the Company and such person as the Company may request of access to those persons on your staff who are responsible for receiving tenders, in order to
ensure that immediately prior to the Expiration Date and each other Expiration Date, if any, the Company shall have received information in sufficient detail to enable it to decide whether to extend the Offer. You shall then prepare a final list of
all persons whose tenders were accepted, the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered and the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted and deliver such list to the Company. 

  

	20.	 Letters of Transmittal and Notices of Guaranteed Delivery shall be stamped by you as to the date, and, after the expiration of the Offer, the time, of receipt
thereof and 



  

 5 








 
shall be preserved by you for a period of time at least equal to the period of time you preserve other records pertaining to the transfer of securities. You
shall dispose of unused Letters of Transmittal and other surplus materials. 
  

	21.	For services rendered as Exchange Agent hereunder, you shall be entitled to such compensation as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. The provisions of this section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	22.	You hereby acknowledge receipt of the Prospectus and the Tender Documents. Any inconsistency between this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Prospectus and the Tender Documents (as
they may be amended from time to time), on the other hand, shall be resolved in favor of the latter two documents, except with respect to your duties, liabilities and indemnification as Exchange Agent. 

  

	23.	The Company covenants and agrees to fully indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all loss, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
reasonable expenses, incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on your part, arising out of or in connection with any act, omission, delay or refusal made by you in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment,
certificate, order, request, notice, instruction or other instrument or document reasonably believed by you to be valid, genuine and sufficient and in accepting any tender or effecting any transfer of Notes reasonably believed by you in good faith
to be authorized, and in delaying or refusing in good faith to accept any tenders or effect any transfer of Notes. In each case, the Company shall be notified by you, by letter or facsimile transmission, of the written assertion of a claim against
you or of any other action commenced against you, promptly after you shall have received any such written assertion or shall have been served with a summons in connection therewith. The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in
the defense of any such claim or other action and, if the Company so elects, the Company shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. In the event that the Company shall assume the defense of any such suit, the Company
shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any additional counsel thereafter retained by you, so long as the Company shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to you to defend such suit; provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to
assume the defense of any such action if the named parties to such action include both you and the Company and representation of both parties by the same legal counsel would, in the written opinion of your counsel, be inappropriate due to actual or
potential conflicting interests between you and the Company. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	24.	You shall arrange to comply with all applicable withholding and tax reporting requirements under the tax laws of the United States, including those relating to missing Tax
Identification Numbers, and shall file any appropriate reports with the Internal Revenue Service (e.g., 1099, 1099B, etc.) as directed in writing by the Company. 

  

	25.	 You shall deliver or cause to be delivered in a timely manner to each governmental authority to which any transfer taxes are payable in respect of the transfer of
Notes to the Company, the Company’s payment in the amount of all transfer taxes so 



  

 6 








 
payable; provided, however, that you shall reimburse the Company for amounts refunded to you in respect of your payment of any such transfer taxes, at such time as such refund is
received by you. 
  

	26.	This Agreement and your appointment as Exchange Agent hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, and without regard to conflicts of laws principles, and shall inure to the benefit of, and the obligations created hereby shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of
the parties hereto. 

  

	27.	This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. 

  

	28.	In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

  

	29.	This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be modified, amended, rescinded, canceled or waived, in whole or in part, except by a written instrument signed by a
duly authorized representative of the party to be charged. This Agreement may not be modified orally. 

  

	30.	Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile or similar writing) and
