16












 

any such event, circumstance, or development and include a schedule for such mitigation; and (ii) contain sufficient detail for Customer to be able to evaluate such plan.  If appropriate, such Recovery Plan shall use work-around schedules, payment of expedited fees, twenty-four (24) hour operations, and the use of alternate subcontractor(s) (such alternative subcontractor(s) to be approved by Customer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be required only in cases where:  (i) the potential alternative subcontractor would be supplying services or goods valued in excess of [*****]  [*****]; and (ii) in the reasonable discretion of Customer, the past performance of such potential alternative subcontractor has given rise to Customer concern as a result of, for example, such subcontractor’s delay in performance or provision of defective or non-conforming goods or services).  Nothing in

 

17











 

this Article 3.4 (Avoidance and Mitigation of Delays; Recovery Plan) shall preclude Customer from independently requesting that Boeing confirm or deny in writing the occurrence or existence of any event, circumstance or development that will likely result in:  (i) a Non-Conformance in the Work or any part thereof with the requirements of this Contract; or (ii) any delay in the Delivery of the Deliverable Items.  In such case, Boeing shall respond to Customer’s inquiry in accordance with the terms of this Article 3.4 (Avoidance and Mitigation of Delays; Recovery Plan).  For the avoidance of doubt, the preparation and implementation by Boeing of any Recovery Plan will not result in an increase of the Firm Fixed Price.  Customer may on a quarterly basis request that Boeing provide a status update on the Work-in-Progress as it relates to the ultimate Satellite Delivery date, for any Satellite to be delivered under this Contract, that Customer may disclose to the Launch Agency (the Parties agree and acknowledge that such status update is for informational purposes and will not create third-party beneficiary rights under this Contract for the Launch Agency).

6.1                               General  Each Party shall, at its expense, perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies of any federal, state, local, or foreign government and the conditions of all applicable federal, state, local, or foreign government approvals, permits, or licenses.

 

6.2                               Compliance with U.S. Laws  Any obligation of Boeing hereunder to provide hardware, software, Deliverable Data, other technical information, technical services, Training, or any access to facilities to Customer and its personnel and/or its representatives shall be subject to applicable U.S. government export control, economic sanctions, and security laws, regulations, policies, and license conditions and the ability of the Parties to obtain any required licenses, permits, or approvals in connection therewith despite the Parties’ Reasonable Efforts to pursue such licenses, permits or approvals.  The Parties shall work cooperatively and in good faith to implement this Contract in compliance with such laws, regulations, policies, and license conditions.  If and to the extent required by U.S. law, the Parties and their personnel and/or representatives shall enter into U.S. government-approved agreement(s), including any Technical Assistance Agreement(s) (as defined in the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 22 C.F.R. §120.16 (the “ITAR”)), separate from this Contract to govern Boeing’s provision of hardware, software, Deliverable Data, other technical information, technical services, Training, or access to facilities in connection with this Contract.

 

Each Party further certifies that its entry into, and performance of its obligations under this Contract, is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1 et seq., and all applicable anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, statues or regulations.

 

6.3                               Licenses and Other Approvals  Boeing shall, at its own expense, obtain, maintain and cause its U.S. subcontractors to obtain and maintain all U.S. government approvals, permits and licenses as may be required for the performance of the Work, including, but not limited to, all authorizations required for the export of any Deliverable Item, or any part thereof, as well as any agreements and other approvals of the U.S. government that are required for Customer and “foreign person” personnel (as defined under the ITAR) and/or representatives of Customer (including, but not limited to, foreign subsidiaries and agents, consultants, and subcontractors of Customer involved with the procurement), to have access to Boeing facilities, hardware, software, Deliverable Item, Training, other technical information, or technical services in connection with the performance of this Contract.  Boeing shall also maintain and obtain licenses for customer’s insurance providers in connection with the placement or renewal of any Launch and In Orbit Insurance Policy.  Both Boeing and the Customer shall perform their roles in accordance with all applicable laws, government rules, regulations and ordinances of the U.S. government in connection with such permits and licenses.  In addition, Boeing shall provide reasonable support to Customer in obtaining and maintaining any necessary legal and regulatory approvals, permits, and licenses for the performance of Customer’s

 

24











 

obligations hereunder.  The Deliverable Data and hardware furnished under this Contract are subject to the ITAR or the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”).

 

Customer shall provide written notification to Boeing as early as practicable as to the identity/nationality/citizenship (including dual or third country nationality/citizenship status, if any) of “foreign person” employees, contract employees and consultant(s) and any subsequent changes, if any, if such personnel, representatives, or insurance providers will or may have access to U.S. export-controlled items or services under this Contract, as identified in Exhibit I (Non U.S. Customer Employees, Including Employees with Dual and Third Country Nationalities).  It is recognized that certain U.S. government approvals may require that Customer sign export authorization(s) and/or Customer Employees may have to sign individual non-disclosure agreement before Customer permits such employees and consultant(s) have access to Work pursuant to the provisions of Article 15 (Work-in-Progress at Boeing’s Facility).

 

Notwithstanding this or any other Article in this Contract, the Parties understand and agree that certain restrictions are placed on access to Boeing’s plant and the provision of services and use of Technical Data and Information and hardware delivered under this Contract with relation to the approvals, permits and licenses Boeing and its U.S. subcontractors must obtain from the United States government.

 

As a result, and if applicable, the Parties agree that such access and the actual delivery of any hardware, services, and Technical Data and Information will be under separate licenses and agreements.  Customer shall cooperate with and assist Boeing in obtaining any U.S. government approvals, permits or licenses as may be required for the performance of Work under this Contract and Customer shall provide such reasonable support as necessary for Boeing to apply for, update, amend, and maintain such required U.S. export licenses, agreements, and other approvals and shall promptly notify Boeing of any occurrence or change in circumstances of which it becomes aware that is relevant to or affects such export licenses, agreements, and approvals.  Boeing shall review with Customer any application Boeing makes to any government department, agency, or entity for any permit, license, agreement, or approval that will be signed by Customer as may be required for performance of the Work prior to submission of such application.  Customer shall make Reasonable Efforts to provide its approval or comments to any such application provided by Boeing as soon as practical; however, Boeing shall provide Customer a minimum of ten (10) Business Days to review such application prior to submission to such governmental entity and Boeing shall in good faith consider any comments and proposed revisions made by Customer for incorporation into such application.

 

Certain Deliverable Items furnished under this Contract are subject to the ITAR or the EAR, and as applicable, will be authorized by the United States government for export to Customer in specified locations as designated by Customer or to the Launch Site for launch into space.  Customer represents and warrants that the ultimate end use of the Deliverable Data and hardware is for commercial purposes and may not be resold, diverted, transferred, trans-shipped or otherwise be disposed of in any other country or in any other manner, either in their original form or after being incorporated through an

 

25











 

intermediate process into other end items without the prior written approval of the United States government, such subsequent approvals to be the responsibility of Customer (with Boeing to provide Customer with reasonable and customary support in obtaining any such subsequent approvals).  Additionally, transferring registration, control or ownership to any other person or business entity of any Satellite or other Deliverable Items furnished under this Contract that are subject to the ITAR or the EAR is considered an export and as such also requires prior written approval from the United States government, which approvals are the responsibility of Customer (with Boeing to provide Customer with reasonable and customary support in obtaining any such subsequent approvals).

 

At Customer’s request, Boeing shall include Customer (and related entities involved with the procurement) as a named party in any application to the U.S. government for approval of such export licenses, agreements, and other approvals so as to permit Customer to be present during any discussion with or meetings where Customer’s foreign subsidiaries/related entities or insurance providers may receive from or discuss with Boeing any export-controlled items and/or services.  Boeing shall provide the parties to such export licenses and agreements copies of the export licenses and agreements and,  Boeing shall inform Customer of the U.S. government provisos (without any change in substance to the original form issued by the U.S. government) related to same.  Customer shall be the importer of record for any Deliverable Items under this Contract and shall take delivery of all such Deliverable Items whether shipped directly by Boeing or by one of its subcontractors.

 

Customer is responsible for obtaining all non-United States governmental approvals, licenses and permits, since the Customer is the importer of record, associated with Customer’s Acceptance of any Deliverable Item under this Contract.  Customer shall furnish its reasonable and customary support, and any information that Boeing reasonably requests in connection with Boeing’s securing for Boeing personnel any necessary visas, work permits, and/or other non U.S. governmental approvals if required for Boeing personnel to perform work at the Customer’s satellite operations facility site(s).

 

Boeing shall furnish its reasonable and customary support, and any information that Customer reasonably requests in connection with Customer’s securing for Customer personnel any necessary visas, work permits, and/or other governmental approvals if required for Customer personnel to perform work at Boeing’s manufacturing facility site(s).

 

If a non-U.S. Launch Site is selected by Customer, Boeing is responsible for obtaining, or having its subcontractors obtain, all United States governmental approvals, licenses and permits, including those which may be required for Boeing to perform the work in compliance with the laws at the Launch Site; however, Boeing shall have no liability whatsoever if it or its subcontractors are unable to obtain or maintain such licenses despite Boeing’s Reasonable Efforts in pursuing or causing its subcontractors to pursue these licenses.

ARTICLE 7                           PRE-SHIPMENT REVIEW (PSR) AND DELIVERY

 

7.1                               Boeing to Conduct a Review of the Satellite Prior to Shipment  Boeing shall conduct a detailed and comprehensive review of the Satellite prior to Boeing’s shipment of such Satellite to the Launch Site or the entering into storage of such Satellite.  This review shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of this Article 7 (Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) and Delivery) and Section 3.2.2.7 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) (a “Pre-Shipment Review” or “PSR”).

 

7.2                               Place of PSR  Boeing shall conduct the Pre-Shipment Review at its premises prior to dispatch of a Satellite from its premises to the Launch Site or placement into Ground Storage.

 

7.3                               Conduct, Purpose and Notice of PSR  The PSR shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of this Article 7 (Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) and Delivery) and Section 3.2.2.7 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work).  The Pre-Shipment Review shall:

 

(i)                                     review test data and analyses for the Satellite;

 

(ii)                                  demonstrate that testing has been completed in accordance with the applicable portions of Exhibit D (Satellite Test Plan); and

 

(iii)                               determine whether the Satellite meets the requirements of Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) and either Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), or Exhibit B4 (F-4 (Satmex 9)  Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), as applicable, except those requirements that have been waived pursuant to Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations) below, and are therefore ready for Delivery.

 

At least ten (10) days written notice of the date of the Pre-Shipment Review shall be given by Boeing to Customer.

 

Customer shall have the right to send representatives to attend the Pre-Shipment Review.  If Customer cannot attend the PSR on such initially scheduled date, Boeing shall propose an alternative date for Customer to attend the PSR.  Boeing shall make Reasonable Efforts to accommodate Customer’s scheduling requirements.  If Customer shall fail to

 

28











 

attend the PSR, Customer shall be deemed to have notified Boeing pursuant to Article 7.6 (PSR Results) that PSR for the Satellite has been successfully completed.

 

7.4                               Waivers and Deviations  Any Non-Conformances prior to Intentional Ignition (or in the case of a Terminated Ignition, prior to Launch) shall require Customer approval.  Boeing shall first on a Reasonable Efforts basis, seek to remedy such Non-Conformance by reworking, repairing or replacing such portion of the Work that is Non-Conforming.  If Boeing is unable to repair, replace or fix such portion of the Work as required under this Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations), then Boeing shall promptly issue to Customer, a corresponding written waiver request, which shall include appropriate detail and description regarding the reasons for such requested waiver.  Customer shall consider all Boeing waiver requests in good faith, and to the extent such waiver request does not result in a material degradation of the Satellite’s capabilities or performance requirements, then Customer shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its grant of Boeing’s requested waiver (such waiver grant by Customer, a “Customer Waiver”).  Customer shall render a decision on any requested waivers by Boeing within five (5) Business Days.  A Customer Waiver shall be deemed granted only if it has been approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of Customer.  Each Customer Waiver shall be deemed an amendment to the Satellite Performance Specification or to the applicable provision or Exhibit of this Contract for other Deliverable Items permitting such waiver thereof, or deviation therefrom, effective on or after the date of such approval for such Satellite or Deliverable Item.  In the event that the waiver or deviation would result in any material impact to the intended use of the Satellite, Customer and Boeing shall negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment to the Firm Fixed Price.  Waivers or deviations are not required for launched satellites, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for non-compliance after Intentional Ignition shall be pursuant to Article 11 (Orbital Performance Incentives) in which satellite performance shall be measured against the waived specification.

 

7.5                               Customer’s Inspection Agents  Customer may, subject to prior written notice to Boeing, cause any Customer personnel, consultant, or agent designated by Customer to observe the PSR pursuant to this Article 7 (Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) and Delivery); provided, however, that the provisions of Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives) and Article 15.4 (Customer Representatives) shall apply to any such agent.

 

7.6                               PSR Results   In the event that the PSR demonstrates that:  (i) testing has been performed in accordance with Exhibit D (Satellite Test Plan) and (ii) such Satellite conforms to the requirements of Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) and either Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification) or Exhibit B4 (F-4 (Satmex 9)  Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), as applicable, (including any waivers or deviations approved by Customer pursuant to Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations)), Customer shall provide written Certification to Boeing, within three (3) days after Customer receives written notice of completion of the PSR, of its concurrence that the satellite is acceptable and that Customer thereby takes Preliminary Acceptance of the Satellite or not with the results of the PSR (it being expressly understood that such Certification does not constitute a waiver of Customer’s right to compel correction of any Non-Conformances or of any of Customer’s other rights

 

29











 

and remedies that Customer has elsewhere in this Contract) and the Satellite shall be deemed ready for shipment to the Launch Site or for placement into storage.

 

In the event that such PSR discloses:  (i) any failure to conduct testing in accordance with Exhibit D (Satellite Test Plan) or (ii) any failure of such Satellite to meet the requirements of Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) and either Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), or Exhibit B4 (F-4 (Satmex 9)  Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), as applicable, either of which is not the subject of any waivers or deviations approved by Customer pursuant to Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations), Customer shall provide written notification thereof (a “Notice of Non-Compliance”) to Boeing within three (3) Business Days after Customer receives written notice of completion of the PSR from Boeing, which written notification shall state each such Non-Conformance that Customer requires to be corrected or repaired (with reference to the specific provision of Exhibit D (Satellite Test Plan) or Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) or Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification) or Exhibit B4 (F-4 (Satmex 9)  Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), as applicable, deemed not met), and Boeing shall promptly correct or repair each Non-Conformance and thereafter conduct a supplemental PSR to demonstrate such Satellite meets the requirements of this Article 7.6 (PSR Results), after which Customer, within the applicable time frame specified above, shall provide a Notice of Non-Compliance or confirmation that has been corrected to Customer’s reasonable satisfaction.  Boeing shall be required to repeat the process described in this Paragraph until Customer either provides a written notification of PSR completion or fails to provide a Notice of Non-Compliance within the time provided in this Article 7.6 (PSR Results).

 

If Customer fails to provide written notification/certification required by either of the preceding Paragraphs of this Article 7.6 (PSR Results) within the time specified, PSR shall be deemed to have been successfully completed and the Satellite shall be deemed “ready for shipment to the Launch Site”.

 

Upon the Satellite being deemed “ready for shipment to the Launch Site or for placement into storage” (“Preliminary Acceptance” and “Delivery” of the Satellite), Boeing shall, at Customer’s direction, either:  (i) ship the Satellite to the Launch Site, in accordance with Boeing’s standard commercial practices and subject to Customer review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and prepare the Satellite for Launch; or (ii) place the Satellite in Ground Storage.

 

7.7                               Inspection Costs Borne by Customer  All costs and expenses incurred by Customer and its agents in the exercise of its inspection rights under this Article 7 (Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) and Delivery), including travel and living expenses, shall be borne solely by Customer.

 

7.8                               Correction of Non-Conformances after PSR  If, at any time following PSR completion and prior to Intentional Ignition (or, in the event of a Terminated Ignition after title and risk of loss reverts to Boeing in accordance with Article 12.1 (Satellite) and prior to any

 

30











 

subsequent Intentional Ignition), it is discovered that the Satellite has a Non-Conformance or otherwise fails, for reasons not attributable to Customer (or, in the event of a Terminated Ignition, for reasons attributable to Boeing prior to risk of loss reverting to Boeing in accordance with Article 12.1 (Satellite)), to meet the requirements of Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) and either Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), or Exhibit B4 (F-4 (Satmex 9)  Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification), as applicable, as they may be modified as of such time pursuant to Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations), and provided that the provisions of Article 12.3 (Total Loss or Total Destruction of Satellite Before Intentional Ignition; Replacement Satellite) do not apply, Boeing shall:  (1) in the event of a Terminated Ignition, proceed according to Article 12.1 (Satellite); and (2) in other cases, promptly correct, at its own expense, such Non-Conformance prior to Intentional Ignition (or, in the case of a Terminated Ignition, prior to any subsequent Intentional Ignition), in accordance with the applicable terms of this Contract, including the Statement of Work, and Boeing shall make Reasonable Efforts to minimize any delays associated with the correction of any such Non-Conformance. Boeing’s obligation under this Article 7.8 (Correction of Non-Conformances after PSR) only extends to three years following successful completion of PSR.

ARTICLE 11                    ORBITAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES

 

11.1                        General  During the Satellite Stated Life, Boeing shall be entitled to retain Orbital Performance Incentives with respect to the Satellite in the amounts and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 11.

 

43











 

As used herein “Orbital Performance Incentives” for the F-2 (Satmex-7) Satellite  (Final Configuration) means an amount equal [*****] U.S. dollars [*****], which is equal to [*****] of the [*****] U.S. dollars [*****] Satellite Price (line item #1 in Table 4-1A) consisting of:  (i) the amount of [*****] U.S. dollars [*****] which is equal to [*****] of the Satellite Price which may be retained by Boeing based upon Satellite Transponder capacity as set forth in Article 11.2 (the “Capacity OPI”); and (ii) the amount [*****] U.S. dollars [*****], which is equal to [*****] of the Satellite Price which may be retained by Boeing based upon the Satellite maintaining certain critical redundancy as set forth in Article 11.3 (the “Redundancy OPI”).

 

As used herein “Orbital Performance Incentives” for the F-4 (Satmex-9) Satellite means an amount equal [*****] U.S. dollars [*****], which is equal to [*****] of the [*****] U.S. dollars [*****] Satellite Price (line item #1 in Table 4-1B) consisting of:  (i) the amount of [*****] U.S. dollars [*****] which is equal to [*****] of the Satellite Price which may be retained by Boeing based upon Satellite Transponder capacity as set forth in Article 11.2 (the “Capacity OPI”); and (ii) the amount of [*****] U.S. dollars [*****], which is equal to [*****] of the Satellite Price which may be retained by Boeing based upon the Satellite maintaining certain critical redundancy as set forth in Article 11.3 (the “Redundancy OPI”). For the purposes of this article, Article 11 (Orbital Performance Incenties), the F-4 Satellite Price does not include the WAAS Hosted Payload (line item #7 of Table 4-1B).

 

If the F-2 or F-4 Satellite Price is adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Contract, and with respect to any other Satellites to be delivered under this Contract, the specific “Orbital Performance Incentives” and Capacity OPI will be calculated as a percentage of the applicable Satellite Price as provided for in this Article 11.  All measurements, computations and analyses made pursuant to this Article 11 shall be confirmed by both Parties in accordance with good engineering practice applying standards generally applicable in the aerospace industry.  For the avoidance of doubt, any payments due from Boeing to Customer pursuant to Article 11.2 (Capacity OPI) and Article 11.3 (Redundancy OPI) shall be treated as independent and distinct obligations.

 

11.2                        Capacity OPI  If applicable, payments shall be made by Boeing to Customer in accordance with the following terms:

 

11.2.1              If it is determined during the Satellite Stated Life that any Transponder is not a Satisfactorily Operating Transponder, Customer shall so notify Boeing within twenty-four (24) hours of such determination.  Upon concurrence by Boeing that the Transponder is not a Satisfactorily Operating Transponder, Boeing shall pay to Customer, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for the unsuccessful Transponder, payments as set forth in Table 11-2A and Table 11-2B below for the remainder of the Orbital Mission Life:

If the Satellite is subsequently launched, Boeing shall retain or repay the amounts calculated for the Capacity OPI or Redundancy OPI in accordance with Article 11.2 (Capacity OPI) and 11.3 (Redundancy OPI).

 

ARTICLE 12                    TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

 

12.1                        Satellite  Title to and risk of loss of or damage to the Satellite shall pass from Boeing to Customer at the time of Intentional Ignition of the Launch Vehicle used for the Launch of such Satellite.  In the event of an Intentional Ignition followed by a Terminated Ignition, title to and risk of loss of or damage to such Satellite shall revert to Boeing upon Boeing securing the Satellite after the Launch Agency declares the Launch pad safe, provided that, if the Satellite is, or is reasonably determined to be, a Total Loss, title to and risk of loss of or damage to the Satellite shall remain with Customer.  If Boeing re-acquires title and risk of loss or damage, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, title to and risk of loss of or damage to the Satellite shall again pass to Customer upon the subsequent Intentional Ignition of the Launch Vehicle used for Launch of such Satellite.

 

Prior to Launch of a Satellite, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and agree to any necessary revisions to certain definitions (e.g., Intentional Ignition, Launch, Terminated Ignition, and other related provisions) as required to ensure that risk of loss transfers seamlessly from Boeing to Customer and does not result in an insurance coverage gap with respect to the Satellite at any time between the ground insurance to be provided by Boeing pursuant to Article 31.3 (Boeing Insurance Requirements) and the applicable coverage start date for any Launch and In-Orbit Insurance Policy.

 

In the event of a Terminated Ignition where Boeing re-acquires title to and risk of loss of or damage to the Satellite, Boeing shall inspect the Satellite and provide Customer with a report on the condition of such Satellite, along with a recommendation for repair or replacement, if any is required, as well as an estimated new Delivery schedule, in the event the Satellite is removed from the Launch Vehicle or the Launch Site.  Customer shall, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such report, direct Boeing, pursuant to Article 24.2 (Limited Changes or Services Requested by Customer), whether or not to proceed with any required or desired repairs and/or storage.  The Actual Costs plus [*****] profit of repairs or replacement, including any transportation, storage and retesting costs, of the Satellite resulting from any loss or damage during the time from Intentional Ignition followed by a Terminated Ignition (specifically, the time during which Customer had risk of loss of or damage to the Satellite) shall be the responsibility 

 

49











 

of Customer.  Additionally, Customer shall be responsible for Boeing’s Actual Costs plus [*****] profit associated with the launch support services for the Satellite re-Launch campaign, including launch and associated mission operations support, to be addressed as a Limited Change Order, in accordance with Article 24.2 (Limited Changes or Services Requested by Customer).

 

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE BY BOEING, UPON AND AFTER INTENTIONAL IGNITION OF THE LAUNCH VEHICLE FOR THE SATELLITE, UNLESS AND TO THE EXTENT OF A TERMINATED IGNITION WHERE BOEING RE-ACQUIRES TITLE TO AND RISK OF LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO THE SATELLITE, AS PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE 12.1 (SATELLITE), BOEING’S SOLE OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, OR FINANCIAL RISK, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF CUSTOMER OR ANY PARTY ASSOCIATED WITH CUSTOMER, WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF SUCH SATELLITE (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTUAL OR CLAIMED NON-CONFORMANCE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED AT ANY TIME, WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER INTENTIONAL IGNITION, BY BOEING’S OR ANY OF ITS SUBCONTRACTORS’ NEGLIGENCE) SHALL BE AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLES 11 (ORBITAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES), 17.3 (SATELLITE NON-CONFORMANCES AND ANOMALIES), 22 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION), AND 31.1 (BOEING SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMER LAUNCH AND IN-ORBIT INSURANCE POLICY).

 

12.2                        Deliverable Items Other Than Satellite  Title to and risk of loss of or damage to the DSS Software or the GCE (as applicable) shall pass from Boeing to Customer upon Acceptance thereof pursuant to Article 9.1 (DSS Software, SCIP Software and GCE).  Customer’s rights in and to other Deliverable Items (including, without exception, Deliverable Items of software and software integrated into hardware, but not including the Satellite or DSS Software) are as set forth in Article 21 (Rights in Data).

 

12.3                        Total Loss or Total Destruction of Satellite Before Intentional Ignition; Replacement Satellite  In the event of the total loss or total destruction of the Satellite before Intentional Ignition (as such events are defined in the applicable insurance policy maintained by Boeing), in addition to the other rights, remedies, and relief provided to the Parties hereunder, Customer shall have the option, to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after such total loss or total destruction of the Satellite:  (i) to obtain the applicable insurance proceeds paid to (or to be paid to) Boeing for such total loss or destruction of the Satellite, in which case neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party hereunder, except for such obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Contract; or (ii) to have Boeing proceed to build a replacement Satellite.  If Customer elects to have Boeing build a replacement Satellite:  (a) the price for such replacement Satellite shall be the same as the Satellite price set forth in Article 4.1 (Firm Fixed Price), provided that all amounts already paid by Customer under this Contract shall be credited against the price of such replacement Satellite, and provided further that the total loss or destruction occurred for reasons solely or substantially attributable to Boeing; and (b) in all cases, the Delivery schedule and other 

 

50











 

affected terms of this Contract (other than such Satellite price as provided in (i) immediately above) shall be equitably adjusted to enable Boeing to manufacture and complete Delivery of the replacement Satellite, and the Parties shall reasonably and in good faith mutually agree to the Delivery schedule for the replacement Satellite.

 

ARTICLE 13                    EXCUSABLE DELAYS

 

13.1                        Force Majeure Defined  Neither Party shall be responsible for late Delivery, delay of the final completion date or nonperformance of its contractual obligations due to Force Majeure.  Force Majeure shall be any event beyond the reasonable control of a Party or its suppliers and subcontractors and shall include, but not be limited to:  (1) acts of God; (2) acts of a public enemy; (3) actions or inactions of a government in its sovereign or contractual capacity (including any action or inaction affecting the import or export of items or obtaining or maintaining licenses or other approvals under Articles 6.3 (Licenses and Other Approvals), 6.5 (Communications Authorizations), 6.6 (Radio Frequency Coordination) and 6.7 (U.S. Government Encryption and Decryption Authorizations), other than due to a lack of due diligence, wrongful or negligent act or omission of Boeing or Customer as applicable); (4) war, acts of terror and warlike events; (5) catastrophic weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons; (6) fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions; (7) strikes, lockouts and other industrial disputes; (8) sabotage, riot and embargoes and; (9) other unforeseen and extraordinary events, which in every case are beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of the Party affected or its suppliers and subcontractors (“Force Majeure”).

 

For an event to qualify for Force Majeure relief hereunder:  (1) the event must be beyond the control and without fault or negligence of a Party or its subcontractors hereunder; (2) the resulting delay cannot be circumvented by Reasonable Efforts to mitigate such delays; and (3) the Party whose performance is delayed due to a Force Majeure event shall provide the other Party with written notice thereof as soon as possible but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after such Party’s performance is impacted by such an event.  Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing:  (i) Customer’s inability to pay any invoice when due hereunder shall not qualify for Force Majeure relief hereunder (except where such circumstance is itself caused by a Force Majeure event); and (ii) any failure by a subcontractor to meet its obligations to Boeing, or any delay due to labor shortages, defective tooling, transportation difficulties, equipment failure or breakdowns, or inability to obtain materials shall not constitute a Force Majeure event (except where such circumstance is itself caused by a Force Majeure event), and shall not relieve Boeing from meeting any of its obligations under this Contract.  The Party affected by a Force Majeure event shall use Reasonable Efforts to minimize the effect of any Force Majeure event.  In the event Boeing claims a Force Majeure event, Boeing’s written notice called for above shall include a detailed description of the portion of the Work known to be affected by such delay, as well as a proposed work-around plan reasonably satisfactory to Customer.  The work-around plan shall:  (1) set forth Boeing’s Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the effect of any such Force Majeure event and include a schedule for such mitigation and (2) contain sufficient detail for Customer to be able to evaluate such plan.  In the event of a Force Majeure event, the Delivery requirement shall be extended for such period as is supported by the evidence provided; provided, that the occurrence of 

 

51











 

a Force Majeure event shall in no event entitle Boeing to an increase in the price for the Work.  Customer, however, shall pay to Boeing the Actual Costs reasonably expended on expedited fees by Boeing for Work completed pursuant to the work-around plan agreed to by Customer under this Article 13.1 (Force Majeure Defined).  Any adjustment of time appropriate under this Article 13 (Excusable Delays) shall be formalized promptly by the execution of a mutually acceptable amendment to this Contract.

 

Customer acknowledges that following the end of an excusable delay event, Boeing shall resume full performance as soon as commercially practicable after the end of an excusable delay event, and the schedule of performance shall be deemed modified to reflect such recommencement of performance.  Payment obligations of Customer shall be suspended only if and to the extent Boeing does not complete the Work associated with a Milestone.

 

13.2                        Termination for Excessive Force Majeure  Customer may, upon written notice to Boeing, terminate this Contract immediately with respect to an unlaunched Satellite if and when the delays to such Satellite due to a Force Majeure event for the claiming Party total, or will be likely to total, [*****] consecutive days or more.  Such termination by Customer for excessive Force Majeure shall be deemed as a Customer termination for convenience and the Parties shall proceed in accordance with Article 19 (Termination for Convenience).  If Customer fails to exercise its right to terminate for excessive Force Majeure within thirty (30) days after Customer is entitled to terminate pursuant to this Article 13.2 (Termination for Excessive Force Majeure), such right to terminate shall be deemed waived.

 

13.3                        Customer Force Majeure Events  Customer will provide to Boeing for its evaluation its plans to mitigate delays in payment or its performance should it experience a Force Majeure event that commensurate with the standards established by Article 13.1 (Force Majeure Defined).  Should Customer’s payments or performance affecting this Contract be delayed by a Force Majeure event exceeding [*****], Boeing is entitled to equitable adjustments to the affected terms of the Contract, taking into account the circumstances giving rise to the Force Majeure event and the resulting impact to Boeing.

 

ARTICLE 14                    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR LATE DELIVERY

 

14.1                        Liquidated Damages  The Parties acknowledge and agree that failure to meet the Satellite Delivery schedule specified in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items) may cause substantial financial loss to Customer.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the following liquidated damages are believed to represent a genuine and reasonable estimate of all losses that would be suffered by Customer by reason of any such delay (which losses would be difficult or impossible to calculate with certainty).

 

If, as of the Satellite Delivery dates specified in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items) (as such date may be extended as provided in this Contract), the Launch Vehicle is unavailable for reasons that are not solely or substantially attributable to Boeing, such that Customer is not materially harmed or prejudiced by a delay in shipment of the Satellite to the Launch Site, then the assessment of liquidated damages shall be suspended on a day-to-day basis 

 

52











 

commensurate with the period of unavailability of the Launch Vehicle, and no payment by Boeing will be required for such period.

 

Except as noted, if Delivery of the Satellite does not occur on or before the date specified in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items) (as such date may be extended as provided in this Contract) and such late Delivery is solely or substantially attributable to Boeing, its contractors or subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) or agents, then Boeing shall pay Customer an amount not to exceed [*****] (an amount equal to [*****] of the F-2 Satellite Price (Final Configuration) of [*****] ) (line item #1 of Table 4-1A), as specified below, as liquidated damages and not a penalty for Boeing’s late Delivery.

15.3                        On-Site Facilities for Customer’s Personnel  [*****]

 

15.4                        Customer Representatives  Customer shall use Reasonable Efforts to verify that Customer’s consultants, designees and agents (collectively “Customer Representatives”) used in connection with this Contract are not in direct competition with and currently employed by companies or entities that are in direct competition with Boeing for the sale of communications satellites, provided that Affiliates of such Competitors that are not themselves Competitors of Boeing shall not be precluded from being Customer Representatives of Customer if such persons or entities have non-disclosure agreements in place with Customer and Boeing that include protections on the use and disclosure of Boeing’s information and data consistent with the similar undertakings herein.  Customer shall notify Boeing in writing of the name, title or function, business relationship, employer, citizenship status under U.S. export laws, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by Boeing, with respect to each of its intended consultants and agents, and cause each such Customer Representative (except for attorneys and other professionals who are already bound by obligations of confidentiality) to:  (i) execute a confidentiality agreement directly with Boeing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Boeing and containing terms substantially the same as those set forth in Article 23 (Proprietary Information) and Article 21 (Rights in Data); and, (ii) pursuant to Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives), execute a Technical Assistance Agreement or other agreement to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations to the extent required by applicable U.S. export control laws or regulations.  Boeing may, in its discretion, deny, based on non-compliance with the foregoing, on applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations, or on failure to execute and deliver a confidentiality agreement, any Customer Representative access to Boeing’s or any subcontractor’s facilities, products, or information; provided that Boeing shall notify Customer of the reason that Customer Representative is denied access to Boeing’s or any subcontractor’s facilities, products, or services and shall allow Customer the opportunity to either remedy the situation to Boeing’s reasonable satisfaction or to select another Customer Representative, it being understood that Boeing shall not deny access to any Customer Representative based on such U.S. export control laws and regulations unless Boeing has a good faith belief that U.S. export control laws and regulations require such denial.

 

15.5                        Interference with Operations  Customer and Customer Representatives on Customer’s behalf shall exercise its rights under this Article 15 (Access to Work-In-Progress) in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Boeing’s or its subcontractors’ normal business operations or Boeing’s performance of its obligations under this Contract or any agreement between Boeing and its subcontractors.

 

Customer personnel (and Customer Representatives) visiting at the Boeing facility or a subcontractor’s facility (a) will abide by Boeing’s security regulations and/or those of its subcontractors and applicable United States government regulations; (b) will not disclose to a third party any information received in connection with the access provided and will

 

55












 

use such information only in the performance of this Contract, whether or not such information is marked or otherwise identified as proprietary; and (c) will not remove any documents, materials or other items from any facility of Boeing or its subcontractors without the express written consent of the Boeing program manager and in accordance with Boeing security procedures and appropriate non-disclosure protections.

 

15.6                        Customer Recommendations  Boeing shall in good faith consider any recommendations of Customer as to any aspect of the Work to be performed hereunder, but, for the avoidance of doubt, Boeing will remain solely responsible for the performance of the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Contract, including the Statement of Work and the System Performance Specification, except where Customer has executed a formal waiver in accordance with Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations), which specifies the deviation from the System Performance Specification or other Contract Exhibit and the consequences and/or impact of such deviation, or a Major Change Order or Limited Change Order, as applicable, in accordance with Article 24.1 (Material Changes Requested by Customer) or 24.2 (Limited Changes or Services Requested by Customer).

 

15.7                        Customer Inspection Not Acceptance  The inspection, examination, or observation by Customer with regard to any portion of Work produced under this Contract shall neither constitute any Acceptance thereof nor relieve Boeing from fulfilling its contractual obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 17                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

17.1                        Representations  Each Party represents that, as of the EDC:

 

A.                                    It is a corporation duly organized in its respective jurisdiction.

 

B.                                    It has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its material properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted in all material respects.

 

C.                                    It is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the other Party.

 

D.                                    It has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Contract and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Contract.

 

E.                                     The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract have been duly authorized by the requisite corporate action and do not conflict with any material agreement or obligation to which it is a party or which binds its assets.

 

F.                                      This Contract is a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against each Party making this representation in accordance with its terms.

 

57











 

G.                                    No suit, claim, action, arbitration, legal, administrative, or other proceeding is pending, or to the best of each Party’s knowledge, threatened against it that would likely affect the validity or enforceability of this Contract, or the ability of each Party making this representation to fulfill its commitments hereunder in any material respect.

 

17.2                        Terms and Period of Warranty

 

17.2.1              Satellite.  Boeing warrants that the Satellite to be delivered under this Contract shall be free from Non-Conformances in materials or workmanship and shall conform to the applicable specifications and requirements as specified by Exhibit B (Satellite and Common Subsystem Technical Specification) and Exhibit B2 (F-2 (Satmex 7) Payload and Satellite Unique Technical Specification) (as modified by any waiver and/or deviation pursuant to Article 7.4 (Waivers and Deviations)).  This warranty shall begin at Preliminary Acceptance and end at Intentional Ignition (or in the event of a Terminated Ignition, shall reattach upon Boeing reacquiring risk of loss as provided in Article 12.1 (Satellite), and then shall end upon any subsequent Intentional Ignition).  This warranty shall expire one year after Preliminary Acceptance for a Satellite or upon Intentional Ignition, whichever comes first, unless the warranty is extended through a Major Change Order pursuant to Article 24.1 (Material Changes Requested by Customer) in connection with post-Delivery storage of a Satellite as contemplated under Article 34.4 (Storage Prices).  After completion of the PSR, Boeing’s only liability under the preceding sentences shall be as and to the extent set forth in Article 7.8 (Correction of Non-Conformances after PSR) and Article 12.1 (Satellite) (in the event, and to the extent, of a Terminated Ignition).

 

AFTER INTENTIONAL IGNITION OF THE LAUNCH VEHICLE FOR THE SATELLITE, UNLESS AND TO THE EXTENT OF A TERMINATED IGNITION WHERE BOEING RE-ACQUIRES TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS FOR THE SATELLITE AS PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 12.1 (SATELLITE), NEITHER BOEING NOR ITS SUPPLIERS OR AGENTS AT ANY TIER SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SATELLITE’S DESIGN, WORKMANSHIP, CONFORMITY TO SPECIFICATION OR PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING ANY ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE (ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED) PROVIDED OR OMITTED AS CONTEMPLATED BY ARTICLE 17.3 (SATELLITE NON-CONFORMANCES AND ANOMALIES), ARTICLE 30 (CORRECTIVE MEASURES) AND ARTICLE 31.1 (BOEING SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMER LAUNCH AND IN-ORBIT INSURANCE POLICY), ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR LEGAL THEORY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OF ANY DEGREE, WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER INTENTIONAL IGNITION, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 11 (ORBITAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES), ARTICLE 22 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION) AND 

 

58











 

EXCEPT TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 17.3 (SATELLITE NON-CONFORMANCES AND ANOMALIES), ARTICLE 31.1 (BOEING SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMER LAUNCH AND IN-ORBIT INSURANCE) AND ARTICLE 31 (RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES).

 

17.2.2              GCE.  Boeing warrants that the GCE delivered under this Contract shall be manufactured in conformity with the applicable requirements of Exhibit H (Ground Control Equipment Upgrade) and Exhibit B5 (Satmex Ground Products Technical Specification and Test Plan) (except for Non-Conformances which Customer agrees would not result in a material degradation of the capabilities or performance requirements,  as modified by any waiver and/or deviation pursuant to Article 9.6 (Waivers and Deviations)) and will be free from Non-Conformances during the period commencing on the date of Acceptance of the GCE pursuant to Article 9 (Acceptance Inspection For Deliverable Items Other Than Satellite) and ending on the first (1st) anniversary thereof.

 

During the period specified above, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Non-Conformance in a component of the GCE of which Customer notifies to Boeing in writing, such Non-Conformance shall be remedied by Boeing at Boeing’s expense by repair or replacement of the defective component (at Boeing’s election).  For any such Non-Conformance, Boeing shall determine if repair or replacement is required to be performed at Boeing’s plant.  If required, Customer shall ship such component of the GCE to Boeing’s designated facility.  Boeing shall be responsible for and reimburse Customer for the cost of shipment (including transportation and transit insurance) to Boeing’s plant and the cost of return shipment (including transportation and transit insurance) to Customer at the location designated in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items).  Risk of loss for such component of the GCE shall transfer to Boeing upon delivery of such component of the GCE to the shipping carrier by Customer, and risk of loss to such component of the GCE shall transfer again to Customer once such component of the GCE is repaired or replaced pursuant to this Article 17.2.2 (Optional GCE) upon receipt thereof by Customer at the location designated therefore in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items).  The Non-Conformance subject to repair or replacement shall be deemed remedied upon successful check-out at the location designated for such component of the GCE in Article 3.1 (Deliverable Items).  After the expiration of the period specified above and through the Satellite Stated Life, a failure of the software integrated into such component of the GCE to meet the applicable requirements of this Contract, including the Statement of Work, will, if such failure results in a Satellite Anomaly, be resolved in the response to the Satellite Anomaly pursuant to Article 17.3 (Satellite Non-Conformances and Anomalies) below.

 

17.2.3              Deliverable Services.  Boeing warrants that the Deliverable Services it provides to Customer pursuant to this Contract will comply with the requirements of the Statement of Work and conform to the applicable industry standards of practice for the commercial satellite communications industry for work similar in type, scope, and complexity to the Work at the time such Work is provided.  In the 

 

59











 

event Boeing breaches this warranty, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Boeing shall correct the Non-Conformances in the provision of such Deliverable Services where it is practical to do so (e.g., Boeing cannot correct deficiencies in, or re-perform, Launch Support Services from and after Launch).

 

17.2.4              Deliverable Data.  From and after Acceptance, in the event that any item of Deliverable Data excluding Software (which is subject to Article 17.2.5) does not conform with the requirements of this Contract, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Boeing shall correct the deficiencies in such Deliverable Data and resubmit such Deliverable Data to Customer.

 

17.2.5              Software.  Boeing warrants that during a period of one (1) year from Acceptance, the Software shall conform in all material respects to the applicable specifications and requirements for such Software specified in Exhibit B5 (Satmex Ground Products Technical Specification and Test Plan) for the DSS Software and, as applicable, the SCIP Software, as modified by any deviation or waiver.  Boeing warrants that operation of the Software shall be uninterrupted and error free for the periods specified in Exhibit B5 (Satmex Ground Products Technical Specification and Test Plan) or Exhibit H (Ground Control Equipment Upgrade), as applicable.   For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Software” as used in this Article 17.2.5 (Software) includes the SCIP Software and the DSS Software.

 

In addition to the warranties set forth above, all Vendor Software shall be licensed and warranted in accordance with terms of the Vendor Software licenses by Boeing’s subcontractors which licenses shall be sublicensed to Customer.

 

Boeing further represents and warrants that all Software as and when Delivered hereunder is free of viruses or similar items as verified by testing such Software using commercially reasonable anti-viral software; (ii) it will not introduce into any Delivered Software, without Customer’s prior written approval, any code that would have the effect of disabling or otherwise shutting down all or any portion of the Delivered Software (an exception to the foregoing is licensed software that will be included in some delivered Software; such license software will prevent any unlicensed copies of delivered Software from running); and (iii)  it will not seek to gain access to the Work through any special programming devices or methods, including trapdoors or backdoors, to bypass, without Customer’s prior written approval, any Customer security measures protecting the Work.  Although the Parties contemplate that all necessary software support will be provided pursuant to Article 17.3 (Satellite Non-Conformances and Anomalies), below, Customer shall have the option to purchase additional maintenance and support of the Software at commercially reasonable terms and prices.

 

17.2.6              Title.  Boeing represents and warrants that it shall provide good and marketable title to all Deliverable Items for which title shall pass in accordance with Article 12 (Title and Risk of Loss) free and clear of any claims, liens and encumbrances and security interests of any kind (except those, if any, of Customer), at the time title passes to Customer.

 

60











 

17.2.7              Disclaimer.  EXCEPT AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE 17 (REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES), BOEING HAS NOT MADE NOR DOES IT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, OPERATION, CONDITION, QUALITY, SUITABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OR FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER NON-CONFORMANCES, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, WITH REGARD TO THE SATELLITE, ANY OTHER DELIVERABLE ITEM OR ANY OTHER WORK.  BOEING MAKES NO WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO LAUNCH SERVICES OR THE CONDITION, USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY LAUNCH VEHICLE.

 

17.3                        Satellite Non-Conformances and Anomalies  Boeing shall investigate any Satellite Anomaly or Non-Conformance occurring in the Satellite after Launch and during the Satellite Stated Life and known to it or as notified in writing by Customer, and shall undertake Satellite Anomaly resolution support services as promptly as possible in accordance with Section 5.2 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work).  Such support services shall be provided and conducted by Boeing on a Reasonable Efforts basis to resolve Non-Conformances or Satellite Anomalies to the extent technically feasible by on-ground means, including software patches or updates, or transmission by Boeing of commands to the Satellite to eliminate or mitigate any adverse impact resulting from any such Non-Conformances or Satellite Anomalies, to establish work-around solutions, or to otherwise resolve such Non-Conformances or Satellite Anomalies.  Boeing shall coordinate and consult with Customer concerning such on-ground resolution of Non-Conformances or Satellite Anomalies in the Satellite.  If for any reason any such Non-Conformance or Satellite Anomaly cannot be or is not corrected as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and as a result thereof, such Satellite suffers any loss, including loss of Transponders or becomes a Total Loss, Customer shall look solely to its Launch and/or In-Orbit Insurance Policy and any subsequent insurance policy for the Satellite procured by Customer if Customer chooses to procure such coverage, to compensate it for its loss and any consequences therefrom, and Boeing shall have no liability or obligation to Customer or any other person in respect of such loss, except as set forth in Article 11 (Orbital Performance Incentives) and to provide the services set forth in Article 31.1 (Boeing Support for Customer Launch and In-Orbit Insurance Policy) and Article 31.2 (Claims Support), subject to the conditions and limitations of such Articles and in all cases subject to the limitation of liability stated in Article 17.2.7 (Disclaimer) above and Article 36 (Limitation of Liability).  In the event that the occurrence of a Satellite Anomaly is due to indeterminable causes or causes not solely or substantially attributable to Boeing, Customer shall pay Boeing the Actual Costs reasonably incurred of all services provided by Boeing associated with such Satellite Anomaly services, including a reasonable profit thereon not to exceed [*****], which costs shall be invoiced and paid pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 (Payment and Adjustments).  Boeing’s obligations under this Article 17.3 (Satellite Non-Conformances and Anomalies) shall extend through the Satellite Stated Life.  This payment by Customer for Satellite Anomaly services shall not apply if the Satellite Anomaly is caused as a result of errors in operations procedures 

 

61











 

delivered by Boeing or as a result of Boeing withholding the support as and when required by Section 5.2 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) or due to a Software Failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any combination or modification by Customer of Software that is not approved by Boeing relieves Boeing of any further obligation to Customer in connection with the maintenance of such Software.

 

17.4                        Use Conditions Not Covered by Warranty  With respect to the DSS Software and to the GCE (as applicable if Customer has exercised its option pursuant to Article 10.2.2 (Boeing’s Operation of the Satellite) of this Contract to provide the GCE), the warranty under this Article 17 (Representations and Warranties) shall not apply to the extent that any adjustment, repair or parts replacement is required as a result, directly or indirectly, of accident not attributable to Boeing, unusual physical or electrical stress beyond the DSS Software’s or GCE’s, as applicable, design tolerances, Customer or third party negligence or misuse, failure of environmental control prescribed in operations and maintenance manuals, or repair or alterations by any party other than Boeing without Boeing’s advance written consent, or by causes other than normal and ordinary use.  The warranty provided pursuant to this Article 17 (Representations and Warranties) is conditioned upon Boeing being given reasonable access, if required, to Deliverable Items at a Customer facility in order to effect any repair or replacement thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, Boeing shall be responsible for any Non-Conformance in the DSS Software or GCE (as applicable) resulting from errors or omissions in any Boeing-furnished documentation provided under this Contract or shall be responsible for correcting at no additional cost.  If the Non-Conformance repaired or remedied by Boeing is not covered by the warranty provided pursuant to this Article 17 (Representations and Warranties), Customer shall pay Boeing the Actual Costs reasonably incurred of such repair or replacement plus a markup of [*****]of such costs, which costs and markup shall be invoiced and paid pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 (Payment and Adjustments).

 

17.5                        Launch Vehicle Interface Errors  Boeing shall bear its own costs and verifiable costs of the Launch Agency resulting from change to the Satellite-Launch Vehicle Interface Control Document (such documents shall be documents available at the time of EDC) attributable to Boeing’s errors (other than errors of omission unrelated to Boeing’s obligations set forth in Exhibit A (Statement of Work)) that impact the Launch Agency.

 

17.6                       Subcontractor Warranties  Boeing shall pass on or assign to Customer all applicable warranties on goods or services for ground Deliverable Items given by subcontractors to the extent to which Boeing is permitted by the terms of its purchase contracts with such suppliers or manufacturers, and further to the extent that such assignment does not interfere with Boeing’s performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 18                    TAXES AND DUTIES

 

18.1                        The Firm Fixed Price excludes, and Boeing, and Boeing’s Affiliates and subcontractors shall not be required to pay, any present or future non-U.S. Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States or its political subdivisions as follows including but not limited to the following:

 

62











 

A.                                    Taxes on Deliverable Items imported into Customer’s country, country where the Satellite Control Facility is located, or the Launch Site under this Contract;

 

B.                                    Taxes levied by Customer’s country, non-United States launch site or country where the Satellite Control Facility is located on Boeing or Boeing’s Affiliates, its subcontractors or affiliates;

 

C.                                    Non-United States Taxes associated with the Launch Services.

 

It is not contemplated that Boeing is obligated to register for any Taxes in Customer’s country, the country where the Satellite Control Facility is located, or the Launch Site under this Contract.  In the event Boeing is required to register in Customer’s country, the country where the Satellite Control Facility is located, or the Launch Site under this Contract, all associated administrative and compliance costs will be reimbursed by Customer.

 

18.2                        In the case of a withholding Tax imposed on payments to Boeing, Customer shall withhold the appropriate amount of Tax and forward this amount to the appropriate Tax authorities on behalf of Boeing.  If any payments to Boeing under this Contract are subject to withholding Tax, Customer shall pay to Boeing such gross amount that after payment of withholding Tax, would result in the receipt by Boeing of any and all payments due Boeing specified in this Contract exclusive of Taxes (i.e., Boeing will receive as net payments the full Firm Fixed Price specified in this Contract regardless of the amount of withholding Taxes paid).

 

A.                                    Customer shall provide Boeing with official Tax receipts certificate evidencing payment of such a withholding Tax.

 

B.                                    Each Party agrees to assist the other Party in processing the Application Form for Income Tax Convention if applicable.

 

18.3                        Boeing shall consult with Customer or its designated consultant(s) on any Taxes which may be payable under Articles 18.1 (Taxes and Duties) and 18.5 (Taxes and Duties).  In the event any of the items in Articles 18.1 (Taxes and Duties) and 18.5 (Taxes and Duties) are levied upon Boeing, Boeing’s Affiliates or subcontractors, Boeing shall notify Customer.  Customer shall either have the charges waived or, alternatively, shall pay the charges directly to the taxing authority on or before the due date of such charges.

 

18.4                        Boeing shall inform Customer of any Taxes for which Customer is responsible under Articles 18.1 (Taxes and Duties) and 18.5 (Taxes and Duties).  Customer, where possible, shall pay such Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority.  If Customer is unable to pay such Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority, Boeing shall invoice Customer for such Taxes and Customer shall reimburse Boeing for such amounts promptly, and in no event within thirty (30) Days of Customer’s receipt of Boeing’s invoice.  In either instance Customer shall pay in an amount which leaves Boeing in the same economic position as if such payment of charges and reimbursement had not been required.  Boeing’s reimbursement request will be accompanied by evidence of the amount and 

 

63











 

purpose of such payments, and shall include a calculation of the amount of reimbursement required under the preceding sentence.

 

18.5                        All U.S. Taxes and those of its political subdivisions, are deemed to be included in the price of the goods and services delivered to Customer under this Contract with the specific exception of sales, use, gross receipts, property or other state or local Taxes imposed upon the sale of goods and services delivered under this Contract.  The imposition of such Taxes by any state or local jurisdiction, above the stated prices associated with this Contract, will be billed by Boeing to Customer for payment.

 

ARTICLE 19                    TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

 

19.1                       Reimbursement of Boeing

 

19.1.1              Right to Terminate.  Customer may terminate this Contract without cause, in whole, upon giving Boeing written notice [*****] prior to the date of such termination; provided, however, Customer may not terminate this Contract for convenience with respect to the Satellite after Delivery of such Satellite.  Upon receipt of Customer’s notice of termination for convenience, Boeing shall:  (i) immediately stop Work under this Contract as directed in the termination notice; (ii) place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services or facilities; (iii) terminate orders and subcontracts to the extent that they are related to the performance of the terminated Work; and (iv) settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and subcontracts.

 

19.1.2              Termination Liability.

Boeing shall have control of the defense and settlement of such Intellectual Property Claim, except that Boeing shall not enter into any agreement, settlement, consent judgment, or the like that is binding on Customer and which compromises any rights of Customer hereunder, without Customer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

ARTICLE 27                    INTEGRATION

 

With the exception of the Master Procurement Agreement dated the date of this Contract, this Contract, including all its Exhibits, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof, which cease to have any further force or effect.

 

ARTICLE 28                    ASSIGNMENT OR CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OR CONTROL

 

28.1                        General  This Contract may not be assigned, either in whole or in part, by either Party without the express written approval of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and a material breach of this Contract.  For illustrative purposes, and without limitation, it shall be reasonable for Boeing to require, as a condition of obtaining its approval, that Customer agrees and demonstrates to Boeing’s reasonable satisfaction that (i) its assignee shall possess the financial resources to fulfill Customer’s obligations under this Contract and (ii) any such assignment or transfer shall not jeopardize or prejudice the protection of Boeing’s Proprietary Information vis-à-vis direct competitors engaged in the manufacture and delivery of satellite systems and associated equipment and data, violate the ITAR, EAR or other U.S. export control or economic sanction laws and regulations.  For the avoidance of doubt, any direct or indirect change in Control of Customer shall be deemed an assignment or transfer, except for instances involving periodic changes to the ownership profile of Customer in the ordinary course  (e.g., trading of debt instruments or equivalent).

 

28.2                        Assignment by Customer  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may assign or transfer this Contract or all its rights, duties, or obligations hereunder without Boeing’s consent (i) to an Affiliate, provided that such Affiliate has sufficient financial resources to fulfill Customer’s obligations under this Contract and provided further that Customer shall remain secondarily liable for the fulfillment of the obligations of such Affiliate

 

77











 

under this Contract following such transfer; and (ii) in connection with obtaining financing and pursuant to any related financing agreement, to enable Customer to perform its obligations under this Contract or (iii) to any person in connection with the sale, transfer, merger, assignment or other reorganization affecting Customer or all (or substantially all) of Customer’s capital stock, whether by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise, in all of the above instances provided:  (x) the assignee, transferee, or successor to Customer, as applicable, is a financial investor party and not a strategic party (e.g. not a competitor of Boeing engaged in the manufacture of satellites or associated components), and (y) Customer reasonably demonstrates to Boeing that the proposed assignee, transferee, or successor possesses no less than the equivalent creditworthiness of Customer as of EDC, but at a minimum the financial resources to fulfill Customer’s obligations under this Contract; in all of the above instances provided the assignee, transferee, or successor to Customer, as applicable, has expressly assumed all the obligations of Customer and all terms and conditions applicable to Customer under this Contract.

 

28.3                        Assignment by Boeing  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Boeing may assign or transfer this Contract or all of its rights, duties, or obligations hereunder to:  (i) any Affiliate of Boeing or (ii) any person in connection with the sale, transfer, merger, assignment or other reorganization affecting Boeing or all (or substantially all) of Boeing’s assets or capital stock, whether by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise, provided that the assignee, transferee, or successor to Boeing has expressly assumed all the obligations of Boeing and all terms and conditions applicable to Boeing under this Contract.

 

28.4                        Security Interests  Customer, upon prior written notice to Boeing, may grant security interests in its rights hereunder to lenders that provide financing for the performance by Customer of its obligations under this Contract or for the subject matter hereof.  In the event that Customer is sold to or merged into another entity (pursuant to the terms of this Article 28 (Assignment or Change in Ownership or Control), its responsibilities under this Contract shall not be altered and the successor organization shall be liable for performance of such Customer’s obligations under this Contract.  If requested by Customer, Boeing shall provide its written consent to such assignment on terms and conditions as may be requested by Customer’s lenders to the extent that such terms and conditions are otherwise consistent with the provisions set forth in this Contract.

 

ARTICLE 29                    SEVERABILITY

 

In the event any provision(s) of this Contract shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Contract shall be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision which, being valid and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the Parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision.

 

ARTICLE 30                    CORRECTIVE MEASURES

 

If it is determined by Boeing that any commercial satellite manufactured by it, whether in-orbit or on the ground, shows that the Satellite to be delivered under this Contract contains a Non-

 

78











 

Conformance in the design or manufacture of the Satellite that will result in an adverse effect on the performance of the Satellite, Boeing shall:  (i) provide Customer prompt written notice thereof, provided that Boeing shall not be required to disclose to Customer information that is confidential to any third party; and (ii) at Boeing’s sole cost, take appropriate corrective measures, if any, in the unlaunched Satellite (including any Satellite in Ground Storage) so as to eliminate therefrom the Non-Conformance, notwithstanding that a payment may have been made in respect thereof and regardless of prior reviews, inspections, acceptances, or approvals.  Boeing shall make Reasonable Efforts to minimize any delays associated with the correction of such Non-Conformance in accordance with the requirements of Article 3.4 (Avoidance and Mitigation of Delays; Recovery Plan).  In the event that corrective measures taken pursuant to this Article cause a delay, there shall be an equitable adjustment to the schedule and other terms for performance (other than the Firm Fixed Price) of the affected Work.  If the data available from any satellite manufactured by Boeing (whether in-orbit or on the ground) or other information known to Boeing shows that the Launched Satellite delivered under this Contract contains or is predicted to contain a Non-Conformance or Satellite Anomaly, Boeing shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Article 17.3 (Satellite Non-Conformances and Anomalies).  Boeing’s obligation under this Article 30 (Corrective Measures) shall extend through the Satellite Stated Life.  Corrective actions must also be performed by Boeing at no cost to Customer for any parts recall or Government-Industry Data Exchange Program alert, if applicable.  Boeing may disclose relevant information about Customer’s Satellite (on a non-attribution basis) to others if any material deficiencies or Non-Conformances are discovered either during production or on orbit; provided, however, that Boeing has provided to Customer the information to be disclosed and Customer provides its written approval of such disclosure, not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld.  If Boeing replaces any Deliverable Item or component or part thereof that was deemed to be Non-Conforming, such Non-Conforming item, Deliverable Item or component or part thereof shall remain or become the property of Boeing.

 

ARTICLE 31                    RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES

 

31.1                        Boeing Support for Customer Launch and In-Orbit Insurance Policy  Subject to Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives) and Article 23 (Proprietary Information), Boeing, at no additional charge to Customer, shall furnish Customer with all necessary information regarding the Satellite as is requested by the insurers and as is customary and normal to support and assist Customer in obtaining and maintaining any launch and in-orbit insurance policy covering the risks of loss or damage to the Satellite from and after Intentional Ignition (the “Launch and In-Orbit Insurance Policy”) including but not limited to:  (i) providing a comprehensive presentation package on the Satellite, suitable for presentation to the space insurance brokers, underwriters or consultants; (ii) supporting Customer with all necessary presentations (oral, written or otherwise), including attendance and participation in such presentations where requested by Customer; (iii) providing on a timely basis all reasonable and appropriate technical information, data and documentation; (iv) providing documentation and answers to insurer and underwriter inquiries; and (v) obtaining any agreements and other approvals that are required (e.g., those agreement and approvals required pursuant to Article 6.3 (Licenses and Other Approvals)) for Customer’s potential insurance providers to have access to all information required by such potential providers.  In addition, Boeing shall assist Customer by providing information regarding the Satellite as is requested by the

 

79











 

insurers and as is customary and normal to support and assist Customer in obtaining and maintaining subsequent policies of in-orbit insurance for the Satellite after the term of the Launch and In-Orbit Insurance Policy expires.

 

Subject to compliance with Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives), Boeing shall provide all necessary and appropriate information to the brokers and insurance underwriters providing insurance cover in respect of any risk relating to this Contract to the extent required and subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, including:  (i) all information which the insurers specifically request to be disclosed from time to time; (ii) all information which is of a type which insurance brokers in relation to the relevant policy advise from time to time should be disclosed to the insurers; and (iii) such other information which Boeing acting in good faith could reasonably consider to be material to the relevant insurance coverage.

 

Notwithstanding Article 23 (Proprietary Information) and Article 25 (Publicity), but subject to Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives), Customer may disclose this Contract to its insurers, provided that Customer has entered into binding agreements with such insurers that limit the disclosure and use of such Contract on terms comparable to those contained herein.

 

31.2                        Claims Support  Subject to Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives) and Article 23 (Proprietary Information), each Party shall cooperate with and provide reasonable and customary support to the other in making and perfecting claims for insurance recovery and as to any legal proceeding as may be brought by the other associated with any claim for insurance recovery.  Each shall furnish the other with any information that may be reasonably required to prepare and present any insurance claim.

 

31.3                        Boeing Insurance Requirements  During the period from EDC until Intentional Ignition (and in the event of a Terminated Ignition, prior to the subsequent Intentional Ignition where Boeing re-acquires title and risk of loss to the Satellite as provided in Article 12.1 (Satellite)), Boeing shall obtain and maintain insurance (subject to normal and customary exclusions and deductibles) with financially sound and reputable insurance carriers, at no cost to Customer, against all risks of loss, including earthquake and other natural disasters, and damage to or loss or destruction of any portion of the Work or any Deliverable Item and/or its components in an amount sufficient to cover the greater of:  (i) Boeing’s full replacement value of each Deliverable Item; and (ii) the amounts paid by Customer with respect to such Deliverable Item.  Such insurance shall provide:  (a) coverage for all activities associated with performance of the Work at Boeing’s facilities; (b) coverage for removal of debris, and insuring the structures, machines, equipment, facilities, fixtures and other properties constituting part of the project; (c) transit coverage, including ocean marine coverage (unless insured by the supplier); (d) off-site coverage for any key equipment; and (e) off-site coverage covering any property or equipment not stored on the construction site.  Boeing shall have Customer and/or its designees named as a loss payee on such insurance policy(ies) to the extent of their interest.  Prior to commencing the Work, and whenever requested by Customer, Boeing agrees to furnish to Customer certificates of insurance evidencing that insurance required under this Article 31 (Risk Management Services) is in full force and effect.

 

80











 

31.4                        Customer shall promptly furnish to Boeing copies of its launch-related policies and any provisions in its agreements with Launch Agencies (as redacted if necessary to comply with the terms of such agreements) reasonably needed by Boeing to determine what insurance Boeing should obtain.

 

ARTICLE 32                    CUSTOMER-FURNISHED ITEMS

 

32.1                        Customer-Furnished Items  Customer shall furnish at no cost to Boeing the equipment, facilities, and services described in Section 6.0 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) (“Customer-Furnished Items”).  Customer warrants that the Customer-Furnished Items delivered under this Contract shall be in good working condition and adequate for the required purposes and, for the Launch of the Satellite hereunder, shall be made available free of charge for Boeing’s use during the period commencing on the date established therefor at the technical interface meetings described in Section 6.0 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) and continuing through the IOT Complete Date for the Satellite.  Customer and Boeing will conduct an interface meeting on the date established therefor at the technical interface meeting described in Section 6.0 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) to confirm the availability and adequacy of such Customer-furnished equipment, facilities, and services.

 

If any defects are found in any Customer-Furnished Items or any Customer-Furnished Items does not conform to the applicable specifications and requirements, and such failure to conform renders such Customer-Furnished Items to be inadequate for the required purpose, Customer shall at its expense, either correct, repair or replace, at its option, any such defective or non-conforming equipment.

 

In the event Boeing is delayed in performing the Work within the time prescribed under this Contract by reason of (i) Customer’s failure to furnish any of the Customer-Furnished Items to Boeing on or before the dates specified in Section 6.0 of Exhibit A (Statement of Work) or (ii) any Customer-Furnished Items that is defective, fails to conform to the applicable specifications or requirements or Customer’s warranty above in this Article 32.1 (Customer-Furnished Items), Boeing shall use Reasonable Efforts to avoid and/or mitigate the effect of failure.  To the extent Boeing is unable to avoid and/or mitigate the effect of such failure, Boeing shall be entitled to reimbursement of its Actual Costs plus [*****] profit incurred as a direct result of Customer’s failure to furnish on a timely basis Customer Furnished Equipment, and an equitable adjustment in Delivery Date for the Work impacted, provided, however, that Boeing notify Customer in writing no later than five (5) days after such failure with a good faith estimate of such Actual Costs plus [*****] profit and proposing an equitable adjustment in Delivery Date for the Work impacted and the Parties mutually agree to the appropriate corresponding extension in the applicable Delivery Date of impacted Work.

 

The Parties agree and acknowledge that title to all Customer-Furnished Items shall remain with Customer and, notwithstanding ordinary wear and tear, Boeing shall assume risk of loss or damage to such Customer-Furnished Items during its period of Boeing use and while in Boeing’s (or its subcontractors’) possession and under Boeing’s control as provided for in Exhibit A (Statement of Work).

82











 

33.3.2              Arbitration.

 

A.                                    If any Dispute arising between the Parties cannot be settled pursuant to Article 33.3.1 (Informal Dispute Resolution), such Dispute shall be solely and finally settled by arbitration conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) International Center for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) rules in effect on the date that such notice is given (the “Arbitration Proceedings”).

 

B.                                    The Arbitration Proceedings shall be held in Washington, D.C., United States, by a panel of three (3) independent arbitrators, one (1) of whom shall be named by each Party.  The third (3rd) arbitrator, who shall act as Chairman, shall be appointed by the two (2) arbitrators named by each Party.  In the event the arbitrators named by each Party fail to appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator within twenty (20) days of written notice by either Party, the Parties agree to allow the AAA to select the third (3rd) arbitrator.  The panel of three (3) arbitrators shall be appointed within a period of forty-five (45) days from the date either Party commences the Arbitration Proceedings.  The Arbitration Proceedings shall be conducted in the English language, provided that, upon the request of either Party, documents and testimony shall be translated, at the expense of the requesting party, into any language specified by the requesting Party.

 

C.                                    Any discovery associated with the Arbitration Proceedings shall take place in an expeditious and cost-effective manner and will be limited to the information directly relevant to the claim or controversy giving rise to the Dispute.  Such discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the ICDR rules, and the Parties agree that depositions may be taken at the request of either Party, subject to the approval of the panel of arbitrators.

 

D.                                    The arbitrators shall render a reasoned award in writing as determined by a majority vote.  Their decision shall be final and conclusive.  The relief that may be awarded by the arbitrators shall be compensatory in nature and the arbitrators have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damages except as authorized under the express terms and conditions of this Contract.

 

E.                                     All information relating to or disclosed by any Party in connection with the Arbitration Proceedings shall be treated by the Parties, the representatives of the Parties, and the arbitration panel as Proprietary Information and no disclosure of such information shall be made by either Party or the arbitration panel without the prior written authorization of the Party furnishing such information in connection with the Arbitration Proceedings.

 

F.                                      The Parties shall evenly divide the costs of the arbitrators.  Each Party shall bear the burden of its own costs and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with Arbitration Proceedings under this Contract.

83











 

G.                                    In the event either Party fails to comply with the decision of the arbitrators, judgment upon the award returned by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties or their assets or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

 

H.                                   Notwithstanding the terms of Article 33.3.1 (Informal Dispute Resolution), either Party may, at its own expense seek preliminary or temporary injunctive relief, including specific performance, or relief in and of arbitration at any time from a court of competent jurisdiction where immediate irreparable harm to that Party is threatened by the other Party’s acts or omissions; provided, however, that requests for permanent injunctive relief shall be arbitrated pursuant to this Article 33.3.2 (Arbitration).

 

I.                                        Each party to this Contract consents to join or participate in any arbitration proceeding as necessary pursuant to the terms of the MPA.

 

33.4                        Obligations During Dispute Resolution Process  Each party shall perform all of its obligations under this Contract, provided that Boeing shall not be obligated to perform any portion of the Work under this Contract that is subject to a Dispute and where Customer has withheld corresponding Milestone payments that Boeing, in good faith, believes are due and owing under this Contract with respect to such portion of the Work.  Customer shall continue to make Milestone payments with respect to any undisputed portion of the Work as they come due.

34.5                        Payments  Boeing shall invoice Customer on a monthly basis for the Satellite Ground Storage price, and upon completion of any testing provided for in Table 34-4.  Customer shall pay such invoices within [*****] days following receipt of the applicable invoice from Boeing.  After placement of a Satellite into Ground Storage and in accordance with Article 11.8, Boeing shall be paid for the full amount of all remaining payments that would have been due under the Contract for Milestones subsequent to Launch as if the Satellite had not been placed into Ground Storage.  Payments under this Article 34 (Storage) shall be made in accordance with Article 5 (Payment and Adjustments).

 

34.6                        Title and Risk of Loss  Title and risk of loss to the Satellite delivered for Ground Storage shall remain with Boeing at the storage site.  Boeing shall assume full responsibility for any loss or damage to the Satellite during Ground Storage.

Ground Storage should be removed from Ground Storage and delivered to the Launch Site.  This notification must be received by Boeing not less than [*****] prior to the scheduled date for Launch of the Satellite.

 

34.8                        Disposition of Satellite after [*****] in Storage  If a Satellite has not been launched within [*****] after its PSR Completion Date for reasons not solely or substantially attributable to Boeing, then Boeing shall be paid and entitled to retain the full Firm Fixed Price with respect to such Satellite.  Subject to Article 39 (Survivorship) neither Party shall have any further obligations to the other Party under this Contract, provided that Customer has met its obligations under this Contract, and Customer shall take title to the Satellite “as is.”  Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay all Taxes associated delivery of the Satellites.  Disposition of the Satellites shall be at the option of Customer, subject to Article 6 (Compliance with Laws and Directives), with costs of such disposition to be borne by Customer.  Boeing shall have no liability in the event an export license is not issued for the benefit of Customer.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Satellite in any stage of manufacture or operation shall not be considered as property subject to coverage under this Article 35.1 (Boeing’s Indemnity).

 

35.2                        Customer’s Indemnity  Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Boeing, its subsidiaries, Affiliates, subcontractors and assignees and their respective directors, officers, agents, servants, and employees (individually an “Indemnitee”, collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and other expenses of investigating or defending claims and expenses related to establishing the right to indemnification) resulting from (i) any representation made by Customer to any third party relating to Work; (ii) any claim of any third party, which may arise in connection with the use, loss of use, operation, performance, non-performance, failure or degradation of the Satellite, whether or not such third party deals with or through Customer (including customers or insurers) or any agency or other governmental authority of Customer’s Country; or (iii) any other claims relating to the Satellite or harm caused by the Satellite and, in each case, arising after Intentional Ignition and whether or not such loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of an act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of an Indemnitee or the Indemnitees.

Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, a delay in providing written notice of a suit or claim shall not relieve a Party from its indemnity obligations unless such delay materially prejudices a Party’s ability to defend the suit or claim.

 

B.                                    The Party seeking indemnification shall not make any admission nor shall it reach a compromise or settlement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

C.                                    The indemnifying Party shall assist and shall have the right to assume, when not contrary to the governing rules of procedure, the defense of any claim or suit in settlement thereof and shall satisfy any judgments rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in such suits and shall make all settlement payments.  The Party seeking indemnification may participate in any defense at its own expense, using counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying Party, provided there is no conflict of interest and that such participation would not adversely affect the conduct of the proceedings.

 

35.4                        Waiver of Subrogation  Each Party shall obtain a waiver of subrogation and release of any right of recovery against the other Party and its Affiliates, contractors and subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and agents, that are involved in the performance of this Contract and from any insurer providing coverage for the risks subject to indemnification by the insured Party under this Article 35 (Indemnification for Personal Injury and Property Damage).

Each Party shall obtain a waiver of subrogation and release of any right of recovery against the other Party and its contractors and subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) and the respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents of each of the foregoing, that are involved in the performance of this Contract from any insurer providing coverage for the risks such Party has agreed to indemnify against under this Article 35 (Indemnification for Personal Injury and Property Damage).
