Article 4. Delivery and Delivery Schedule


(A)          Delivery. Contractor shall deliver the Deliverables and Services on time and to the correct location. Time is of the essence as to the delivery of the Deliverables and Services. Contractor shall promptly notify Globalstar as soon as it becomes aware of any delay or potential delay in delivery of the Deliverables or Services. If Contractor is unable to provide the Deliverables or Services in accordance with the Delivery Schedule for any reason, then Contractor shall, without limiting any other remedy Globalstar may have: (i) promptly notify Globalstar, specify the reason for such failure, provide a plan to rectify the same, and use all reasonable efforts to ensure no further delay or impact on the Delivery Schedule; and (ii) use best efforts to assign such additional resources and Contractor Personnel required to resolve the issue and to meet the required future dates.


(B)          Delivery Schedule. A high-level Delivery Schedule for the Satellites is set forth in the table below. Additional details for the applicable Milestone Events for Initial Satellites are set forth in Exhibit F. Delivery of a Satellite shall be deemed to have occurred at a successfully completed Pre-Shipment Review. Delivery of a DSS shall be deemed to have occurred upon successful completion of the Simulator Completion Review. [*]


(C)          Location of Delivery.


(i)            Satellites. Each Satellite which is Available for Shipment shall be transported, along with all associated Ground Support Equipment, at Contractor’s risk and expense (Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), Incoterms 2020), to the Launch Site selected for the launch of the respective Satellite, unless Globalstar directs Contractor to deliver the Satellite to storage in accordance with Article 10 (Satellite Storage). Notwithstanding the forgoing, Globalstar may direct Contractor to deliver the Satellite to the airport nearest to the Launch Site into the custody of the Launch Services Provider. If a Satellite requires repair after delivery to the Launch Site, all transportation from the Launch Site to the repair facility and back shall be at the expense of Contractor, except if the damage occurred between the time the Satellite arrived at the airport until it was delivered to the Launch Site in which case Globalstar shall be responsible for the repair/replacement costs (including transportation costs) of the Satellite. Contractor shall

be responsible at its risk and expense for removing or disposing of all Ground Support Equipment and remaining Satellite propellant, if any, used on or brought to the Launch Site from the Launch Site after completion of launches. 


(ii)           DSSs and Satellite Flight Computer Software. The DSSs and the Satellite Flight Computer Software shall be transported via electronic transmission in a manner acceptable to Globalstar, at Contractor’s risk and expense (Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), Incoterms 2020).


(iii)          The Parties agree that the price set forth in this Agreement assumes that the Satellites, DSSs, Dispensers, SOCC and Satellite Flight Computer Software will be transported by Contractor to a location in the United States or Canada. If Globalstar instructs Contractor to deliver any of them to a location outside the United States or Canada, Globalstar will pay Contractor reasonably and accurately documented actual costs (excluding allocations and overhead) incurred by Contractor in connection with the delivery outside United States or Canada that are incremental beyond the cost of delivery to a location within the United States or Canada (including but not limited to incremental transport costs, incremental transit insurance, incremental employment taxes, and any incremental duties and taxes applied at the delivery location). 


(D)          Title and Risk of Loss. Subject to Article 5(C) (Title and Risk of Loss for Stored Satellites): (i) title to and risk of loss for a Satellite shall pass from Contractor to Globalstar upon Intentional Ignition, except as provided in Article 10(C) (Title and Risk of Loss for Stored Satellites); and (ii) title to and risk of loss for DSSs and Satellite Flight Computer Software shall pass from Contractor to Globalstar upon Final Acceptance thereof. Contractor hereby agrees that following Intentional Ignition, should the launch sequence be successfully terminated prior to lift-off of the Launch Vehicle, then at the subsequent time the launch pad is declared safe by the Launch Services Provider, title, care, custody, control, and risk of loss to each applicable Satellite shall revert to Contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that Contractor shall not be responsible for delays due to damage to a Satellite caused solely by the Launch Service Provider after delivery to the Launch Service Provider, provided that Contractor uses all reasonable efforts to minimize any such delays.


(E)           No Encumbrances. Contractor shall ensure title to the Satellites, Satellite Flight Computer Software, and DSSs shall pass to Globalstar free and clear of any claims, liens, encumbrances, and security interests of any nature. Contractor shall not grant to third parties any lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any nature on the Satellites, propellant on board the Satellites, Satellite Flight Computer Software, and DSSs.


Article 5. Price


The price for the Deliverables and Services is set forth in the table below. The Parties agree that such amount compensates Contractor in full to provide the Deliverables and Services under this Agreement. Exhibit F sets forth a detailed payment plan for the Initial Satellites. The Parties will agree in good faith to a payment plan for the Additional Satellites upon delivery of any Option Notice. Such payment plan shall require payments upon Milestone Events such that the percentage of payments over time shall be no more accelerated for the Additional Satellites as compared to the Initial Satellites per Exhibit F.


[*]


Article 6. Delivery Delay 


(A)          Delivery Delays. Contractor understands if Contractor does not successfully complete PSR for the Satellites in accordance with the Delivery Schedule (each a “Delivery Delay”), Globalstar may incur additional costs and damages, which damages are likely to be significant and that on-time Delivery of the first eight Satellites is particularly time-critical. Therefore, if there is a Delivery Delay, Contractor shall pay Globalstar the amounts set forth in Article 6(B) (Liquidated Damages for Delivery Delays) to compensate Globalstar for damages caused by each Delivery Delay (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Parties agree that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the above-described costs and damages, which are difficult to ascertain, and are not intended to address any other costs or damages for delays that exceed the highest number of days in the applicable table below. Except with respect to Delivery Delays not exceeding 180 days (for the first eight Satellites) or 240 days (for Satellites after the first eight Satellites), the Parties do not intend for this Section to limit Globalstar’s ability to seek damages or any other available remedies under the Agreement or any other related agreement between the Parties.

(i)            [*]


(ii)           Costs Following Cancellation. Globalstar will not be responsible for any costs in connection with cancelled Deliverables or Services except for payment of (or Contractor shall refund Globalstar if such amount is negative) an amount equal to: [*]


(B)          Contractor Taxes. Except as otherwise stated herein, Contractor will pay all applicable taxes related to any compensation received under this Agreement, including all taxes associated with the performance of the Services in each country which Services are performed (whether by Contractor or the Subcontractors) or in any country outside the United Sates where the Satellite is placed in storage as set forth in with Article 10 (Satellite Storage). Such taxes shall be paid by Contractor when they become due in compliance with the regulations in force at that time and will not be invoiced to Globalstar under this Agreement. Globalstar will not make deductions from its payments to Contractor for taxes, insurance, bonds, or any other subscription of any kind. Globalstar shall pay all applicable taxes and duties associated with the import of the Deliverables to the delivery location.


(i)            Withholding Taxes. Where any taxation authority imposes any income tax on the payment for Deliverables or related services by Globalstar to Contractor and requires Globalstar to withhold such tax (“Withholding Tax”), Globalstar may deduct such Withholding Tax from the payment to Contractor and remit such Withholding Tax to the relevant taxing authority on behalf of Contractor. The determination of the applicability of a Withholding Tax is at Globalstar’s sole discretion. In the event a reduced Withholding Tax rate may apply on payments to Contractor, Contractor shall provide to Globalstar as soon as practicable all documentation necessary to demonstrate that Contractor is qualified for the reduced rate of Withholding Tax. If the necessary documentation is not provided in a timely fashion before payment, the reduced Withholding Tax rate will not apply and any payments to Contractor shall be subject to the full rate of Withholding Tax. Upon reasonable request by Contractor, Globalstar shall provide Contractor with tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of such Withholding Tax when available.


(ii)           Documentation. Upon request, Contractor shall provide Globalstar with a validly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service form to establish its U.S. or non-U.S. status or any other necessary tax documentation. A non-U.S. Contractor shall note, on each invoice issued to Globalstar under this Agreement, the amount of Deliverables produced or related services performed by Contractor within the United States, if any.


(C)          Currency. All amounts payable will be specified and paid in United States Dollars.


(D)          Costs. Except as otherwise expressly agreed upon by the Parties in writing, Contractor is solely responsible for costs incurred under this Agreement.


(E)           Set-Off and Recoupment. [*]


(F)           Failure to Pay. In the event Globalstar fails to pay a successful completed Milestone Events for Deliverables or Services for which there has been a Final Acceptance in accordance with this Agreement within the payment terms stated herein, and such breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice from Contractor, then the Parties shall promptly escalate the matter to senior officers and such senior officers shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve the matter as promptly as practicable. If such matter has not been resolved and the amount remains unpaid 60 days following such escalation, then Contractor may, at its sole discretion, elect by written notice to submit a Contractor Stop Work Order under the terms and conditions of Article 9 (Stop Work) of this Agreement, with no resumption required until such breach is cured. Upon delivery of the payment, Contractor shall resume the performance of the suspended activities and the Parties shall agree on an equitable adjustment to the Delivery
