Contractor, cause any Purchaser personnel, consultant or agent designated by
Purchaser to observe the SPSR pursuant to this Article 9; provided, however,
that the provisions of Article 7 and Article 8.5 shall apply to any such
Person.


 


9.1.5        SPSR Results. In the event
that such SPSR demonstrates (i) that all testing has been performed in
accordance with Exhibit D, Satellite Test Plan and (ii) conformity of such
Satellite to the applicable requirements of Exhibit B, Satellite Performance

pursuant to Article 9.3), Purchaser shall within seventy-two (72) hours  of completion of the relevant SPSR direct
Contractor in writing either to ship the Satellite to the Launch Site for
Launch or place the Satellite in storage in accordance with Article 24.4. In
the event that such SPSR discloses:  (i)
a failure to conduct testing in accordance with Exhibit D, Satellite Test Plan,
or (ii) a non-conformance of such Satellite to the requirements of Exhibit B,
Satellite Performance Specification, either of which is not the subject of any
waivers or deviations approved by Purchaser pursuant to Article 9.3, Purchaser
shall, within seventy-two (72) hours after completion of the relevant SPSR,
deliver a written notice to Contractor setting forth the testing and/or
contractual requirements that Purchaser believes have not been met, and
Contractor shall correct or repair each such non-conformance and resubmit such

baseline requirements to reflect improved performance pursuant to Article
15.1.3(C) below. Contractor shall determine whether such repair or replacement
shall be performed at Contractor’s plant. If necessary, Purchaser shall ship to
Contractor’s designated facility the defective component(s). Contractor shall
be responsible for the cost of shipment (including transportation and transit
insurance) to the facility in accordance with its standard commercial practice
(including any taxes and/or duties) of such defective component(s), and the
cost of packing, 


 


83





















 


return shipment (including transportation and transit insurance) in
accordance with its standard commercial practice of any such defective
component(s) once repaired or replaced to Purchaser at the location designated
therefor by Purchaser. Risk of loss for such defective component(s) shall
transfer to Contractor upon delivery of such defective component(s) to the
shipping carrier by Purchaser, and risk of loss shall transfer to Purchaser for
any such defective component(s) once repaired or replaced pursuant to this
Article 15.1.3(B)(1) upon receipt thereof by Purchaser at the location
designated by Purchaser. If Contractor fails to use reasonable best efforts to
repair or replace such defective component(s) within a reasonable period of
time after notification from Purchaser, Purchaser may, by contract or
otherwise, repair or replace such defective component(s) and Contractor shall
be liable for the reasonable cost thereof.


 


(2)           If the GBBF Subsystem does
not exhibit a defect or non-conformance subject to Article 15.1.3(B)(1), and
performance of the Space Segment nonetheless degrades with respect to the Space
Segment performance baseline for Space Segment Acceptance (as may be adjusted
in accordance with Article 15.1.3(C)), Contractor shall take reasonable steps
to analyze and recommend corrective action as set forth in Section 2.3.7 of
Exhibit G, Space Segment SOW. Purchaser shall provide reasonable investigation
support for possible causes in Purchaser furnished items, such as equipment in

Space Segment Performance Specification, shall be modified to incorporate any
changes thereto required to reflect the corrective actions approved by
Purchaser hereunder.


 


(3)           Without limiting Contractor’s
obligations under Article 15.2, in the event that, after the IOT Complete Date,
for causes attributable to Contractor (or any subcontractor, agent or
representative of Contractor), the Satellite fails to meet the applicable
requirements of Exhibit B, Satellite Performance Specification (as such
requirements may have been waived or deviated from for purposes of Satellite
Acceptance upon the IOT Complete Date), and the performance of the Space
Segment degrades with respect to the Space Segment performance baseline for
Space Segment Acceptance, Contractor shall take reasonable steps to analyze and
recommend corrective action as set forth in Section 2.3.7 of Exhibit G, Space

16.1         Changes
Requested by Purchaser.


 


16.1.1      Purchaser may at any time in writing
request a change to the Work in whole or in part including changes to any
Deliverable Item or service (as may be modified from time to time, a “Change
Request”).


 


Contractor shall respond in writing to a Change
Request within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, which response shall
include Contractor’s reasonable good faith proposal of the changes to the
Contract that would be caused by such Change Request including, without
limitation, the estimated increase or decrease to the Firm Fixed Price [*] the
impact on the delivery schedule and other changes to the Contract necessitated
thereby. The proposal shall include reasonably sufficient detail setting forth
the basis used by Contractor (including a detailed description of the work to
be performed, break down showing estimated labor and major material costs
together with such other information/explanation as Purchaser may reasonably
request).


 


16.1.2      If Purchaser desires to implement the
Change Request, Purchaser and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and in a
timely manner the changes, if any, to the Contract caused by implementation of
the Change Request. Except as provided in Article 16.1.3, any changes made
pursuant to this Article 16.1 shall be formalized by the execution of an
amendment to this Contract in accordance with Article 37.5. Except as set forth
in such amendment, the terms of the Contract shall remain unchanged.


 


92

















 


16.1.3      If the Parties are not able to agree on
the changes to the Contract necessitated by such Change Request, then within
ten (10) days of a request from either Party, each Party shall deliver to the
other a good faith offer of the changes to the Contract (the “Purchaser’s Offer”
and “Contractor’s Offer”). Thereafter, Purchaser has the right to direct
Contractor to implement the requested changes. In such event:


 


(a)           the Parties shall continue to negotiate
in good faith as to the terms of any changes to the Contract;


 


(b)           either Party shall have the right to
invoke the dispute resolution procedures of Article 25; and


 


(c)           Purchaser shall pay to Contractor the
sums as and when provided in the Purchaser’s Offer and pay any difference
between the Purchaser’s Offer and Contractor’s Offer relative to amounts as and
when due into an interest bearing escrow account, the establishment and terms
and conditions of which shall be subject to the reasonable mutual agreement of
the Parties. Upon the reaching of a resolution (either through mutual agreement
of the parties or through operation of Article 25), this Contract shall be
amended accordingly pursuant to Article 37.5, the escrow shall be closed and
any funds contained therein shall be disbursed accordingly.


 


16.1.4      If Purchaser directs that certain goods
or services be provided by Persons other than Contractor, Contractor agrees to
provide reasonable cooperation with such Persons, subject to Contractor’s
reasonable requirements concerning access, confidentiality and compliance with
law, as set forth in this Contract.

16.2         Stop Work Order.


 


Purchaser shall
have the right at any time (and from time to time) to direct Contractor to stop
the Work. To exercise the right hereunder, Purchaser shall deliver a written
notice to stop the Work (the “Notice to Stop Work”). Upon delivery of the
Notice to Stop Work (and during the pendancy of the stop work): (a) Purchaser’s
liability under this Contract shall be limited to such liability as Purchaser
would have if Purchaser had delivered a Notice of Termination for Convenience
in whole pursuant to Article 21.1 at the date of the Notice to Stop Work; and
(b) Contractor may take all steps deemed necessary or prudent by Contractor in
order to minimize any losses Contractor would suffer if the Work was not
restarted, including terminating and reaching good faith settlements with third
parties performing any portion(s) of the Work. Upon request from Purchaser,
Contractor shall submit to Purchaser in accordance with Article 16.1, proposals
associated with the stop work, including proposals that if implemented in
accordance with Article 16.1.2 could increase the liability of Purchaser. If
after delivery of a Notice to Stop Work Purchaser elects thereafter to restart
the Work, then such request shall be treated as a Change Request and subject to
the procedures set forth in Article 16.1. In the event that Purchaser shall not

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) acts of a government in its sovereign or contractual capacity

is not caused by the failure of Contractor or its suppliers or subcontractors
to perform their obligations under this Contract. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event will financial hardship or insolvency of Contractor or
any of its respective Affiliates constitute Force Majeure.


 


Any notice to be provided by
Contractor, as required by the preceding provisions, shall include a detailed
description of the performance of Contractor known to be affected by such delay
as well as Contractor’s plans for minimizing the effects of such event upon the
performance of its obligations under the Contract. In all cases, Contractor
shall use

reasonable best efforts to
avoid or minimize and/or work around such delay through the implementation of
any work-around plans, alternate sources, or other means Contractor may
reasonably utilize to minimize a delay in performance of the Work. Contractor

rectified and the steps made to meet the applicable Contract requirements
thereafter).

Purchaser disputes any Force Majeure, Purchaser shall inform Contractor in
writing within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of written
notice of the event purportedly constituting the Force Majeure and, if the

within a reasonable time if no time is specified, or by an act or failure to
act of Purchaser that unreasonably interferes with and delays Contractor’s
performance of its obligations under this Contract (“Purchaser Delay”),

Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, shareholders, and agents and their successors and assigns from and
against any claim or suit based on, arising from, or in connection with any
allegation that the Work or the manufacture of any Deliverable Item or any part
thereof or the normal intended use, lease or sale of any Deliverable Item or
any part thereof infringes any third party Intellectual Property Right (“Intellectual
Property Claim”), and shall pay any royalties and other liabilities adjudicated
(or provided in settlement of the matter) to be owing to the third party
claimant as well as costs and expenses incurred in defending or settling
(including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, costs
of investigation, expert fees, litigation, settlement, judgment, interest and
penalties) such Intellectual Property Claim. Contractor’s obligations under
this Article 19.1 shall be subject to the indemnification process set forth in
Article 20.3. This Article 19.1 shall be subject to the limitations set forth
in Article 32.6.


 


19.2         Infringing Equipment.


 


If the manufacture
of any Deliverable Item or the normal intended use, lease or sale of any
Deliverable Item under this Contract is enjoined as a result of an Intellectual
Property Claim or is otherwise prohibited, Contractor shall at its option and
expense (i) resolve the matter so that the injunction or prohibition no longer
pertains, (ii) procure for Purchaser or its permitted successors and/or assigns
the right to use the infringing item and/or (iii) modify the infringing item so
that it becomes non-infringing while remaining in compliance with the
Performance Specification (as may be modified or waived pursuant to Article 9.3
and/or 11.7). Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Contractor to mitigate
or remove any infringement. If Contractor is unable to accomplish (i), (ii) or
(iii) as stated above within (x) one hundred twenty (120) days if the
injunction or

prohibition
relates to the Satellite, or (y) ninety (90) days if the injunction or
prohibition relates to any other Deliverable Item (including the Space Segment,
other than the Satellite), Purchaser shall have the right, notwithstanding any
other provision herein, to terminate this Contract in whole or in part, with
respect to such Deliverable Item (and any other Deliverable Item whose utility
has been adversely impacted by Purchaser’s loss of use of the infringing
Deliverable Item), return such Deliverable Item(s) to Contractor (in space,
with respect to an in-orbit Satellite), and within thirty (30) days of such
return, Contractor shall refund the price paid for such terminated Deliverable
Item(s) less a reasonable allowance for use and depreciation. This Article 19.2
shall survive the termination of this Contract as to Deliverable Items Accepted
or otherwise retained and paid for prior to or promptly following such
termination.


 


19.3         Combinations
and Modifications.


 


Contractor shall
have no liability under this Article 19 for any Intellectual Property Claim to
the extent arising directly from (i) use of any Deliverable Item in combination
with other items not provided, recommended, or approved by Contractor or its
suppliers or subcontractors or (ii) modifications of any Deliverable Item after
Delivery by a Person other than Contractor (or its suppliers or subcontractors
acting through Contractor) unless (A) in the case of a Deliverable Item other
than the Satellite, such modification was made by such other Person due to
Contractor’s failure to perform a contractual obligation hereunder (except
where Contractor believes such modification would result in an infringement of
a third party’s rights) or (B) is directed in writing by Purchaser to which
Contractor has taken written exception including by way of disclaimer.

The remedies set
forth in this Article 19 are Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies for or
related to any Intellectual Property Claim.

ARTICLE 20 - INDEMNITY FOR
PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE


 


20.1         Contractor’s Indemnity.


 




Contractor, at its own expense, shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and agents from and against any
losses, damages, and other liabilities, adjudicated (or provided for in
settlement of the matter) to be owing to the claimant as well as costs and
expenses (including court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
costs of investigation, expert fees, litigation, settlement, judgment, interest
and penalties) (collectively, “Losses”)
based on, arising from or in connection with any third party claims for injury
to persons or property damage, but only if such Losses were caused by, or
resulted from, a negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Contractor,
or its employees, representatives, contractors or subcontractors at any tier
(including suppliers of any kind). For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall
have no indemnity obligations pursuant to this Article 20 for any Losses with
respect to the Satellite after Intentional Ignition of the Launch Vehicle for
such Satellite, unless and to the extent of a Terminated Ignition as provided
in Article 12.1, even if such Losses are attributable, in whole or in part, to
an act or omission of Contractor or its employees, representatives, contractors
or subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) prior to
Intentional Ignition.




 


20.2         Purchaser’s Indemnity.


 


Purchaser, at its own expense, shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Contractor and its Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents, from and against any
Losses based on, arising from or in connection with any third party claims for
injury to persons or property damage but only if such Losses were caused by, or
resulted from, a negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Purchaser
or its employees or representatives.


 


101

















 


20.3         Indemnification Process.


 


In connection with any claim for
indemnification under Article 20.1 and Article 20.2 the Parties agree as
follows:


 




20.3.1      The Party seeking indemnification shall promptly
advise the other Party in writing of the filing of any suit or of any written
or oral claim for which it seeks indemnification upon receipt thereof and shall
provide the other Party, at its written request, with copies of all
documentation relevant to such suit or claim. Failure to so notify the
indemnifying Party shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Contract except to the extent it can demonstrate that it was
prejudiced by such failure. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of
written notice from the Party seeking indemnification relating to any claim,
but no later than a reasonable time before the date on which any response to a
complaint or summons is due, the indemnifying Party shall notify the Party
seeking indemnification in writing if the indemnifying Party elects to assume
control of the defense or settlement of that claim (a “Notice
of Election”) when not contrary to the
governing rules of procedure. A Notice of Election shall require the
indemnifying Party to assume the defense in full and without reservation of
rights.




 


20.3.2      If the indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of
Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, so long as it
is actively defending such claim, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided that
(i) the Party seeking indemnification shall be entitled to participate in
the defense of such claim and to employ counsel (reasonably acceptable to the
indemnifying Party) at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim
provided there is no conflict of interest and that such participation would not
adversely affect the conduct of the proceedings; (ii) where the Party
seeking indemnification is so represented, the indemnifying Party shall keep


 


102

















 


counsel of the Party seeking indemnification
informed of each step in the handling of any such claim; and (iii) the
Party seeking indemnification shall provide, at the indemnifying Party’s request
and expense, such assistance and information as is available to the Party
seeking indemnification for the defense and settlement of such claim and (iv)
the indemnifying Party shall notify the Party seeking indemnification before
entering into any non-monetary settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend
against such claim. After the indemnifying Party has delivered a Notice of
Election relating to any claim in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the
indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Party seeking indemnification for
any legal expenses incurred by the Party seeking indemnification in connection
with the defense of that claim. In addition, the indemnifying Party shall not
be required to indemnify the Party seeking indemnification for any amount paid
or payable by the Party seeking indemnification in the settlement of any claim
for which the indemnifying Party has delivered a timely Notice of Election if
such amount was agreed to without the prior written consent of the indemnifying
Party. The indemnifying Party may not settle any claim on behalf of the
indemnified Party except claims solely for monetary damages paid by the
indemnifying Party in full.


 


20.3.3      If the indemnifying Party does not deliver a
Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period or
fails actively to defend such claim, the Party seeking indemnification shall
have the right to defend and/or settle the claim in such manner as it may deem
appropriate, at the cost and expense of the indemnifying Party. Provided that
the Party seeking indemnification acts in good faith, it may settle such claim
on any terms it considers appropriate under the circumstances without in any
way affecting its right to be indemnified hereunder. The indemnifying Party
shall promptly reimburse the Party seeking indemnification for all such costs
and expenses.


 


103

















 


20.4         Waiver of Subrogation.


 


Each Party shall use best reasonable efforts
to 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 from any insurer providing coverage for the risks such Party has
agreed to indemnify against under this Article 20.

CONVENIENCE


 




21.1         Right to Terminate. Purchaser may at any time terminate

Convenience”); provided, however, Purchaser
may not terminate this Contract as to a Satellite after Intentional Ignition of

terminated; (c) terminate orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate
to the performance of Work terminated by the Notice of Termination for
Convenience; (d) settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out
of such termination or orders, subcontracts for materials, services, or
facilities; and (e) with respect to the portion(s) of the Work subject to the

Convenience, provide Purchaser with a calculation of the Net Whole Termination
Claim, together with an invoice for payment of any deficiency, if any, which
invoice shall be paid in accordance with Article 5. In the event that the Net
Whole Termination Claim results in moneys being due to Purchaser, Contractor
shall at the time of delivery of its calculation of the Net Whole Termination
Claim refund to Purchaser said excess funds. In no event shall the amounts
payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 21.2.1 exceed the Net Whole
Termination Claim.




 




21.2.2      Termination in Part. If Purchaser terminates this Contract
only in part and with respect to a Deliverable Item for which a Termination
Liability Schedule exists as part of Exhibit F Payment Plan and Termination
Liability Amounts (a “Partial Termination for
Convenience”), Purchaser shall be liable to
Contractor for the firm fixed price amount set forth in the applicable
Termination Liability Schedules of Exhibit F Payment Plan and Termination
Liability Amounts for such Deliverable Item(s) (“Partial Termination Claim”),
reduced by all applicable amounts already paid by Purchaser to Contractor with
respect to the terminated Work (the “Net Partial Termination Claim”).

for Convenience, provide Purchaser with a calculation of the Net Partial
Termination Claim, together with an invoice for payment of any deficiency, if
any, which invoice shall be paid in accordance with Article 5. In the event
that the Net Partial Termination Claim results in moneys being due to
Purchaser, Contractor shall at the time of delivery of its calculation of the
Net Partial Termination Claim refund to Purchaser said excess funds. In no
event shall the amounts payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 21.2.2
exceed the Net Partial Termination Claim. Further, the firm fixed price amount
set forth in the Termination Liability Schedule in Exhibit F with respect to
the Space

following insurance coverages:


 


A.            Ground insurance (“Property Insurance”) against
all risks and loss or damage to the Satellite, the GBBF Subsystem, or DSS and
to any and all component parts thereof and all materials of whatever nature
used or to be used in completing the Work, in an amount not less than the
greater of (i) the replacement value of or (ii) the amounts paid by Purchaser
with respect to, the Satellite, the GBBF Subsystem, DSS and component parts
thereof and all materials of whatever nature used or to be used in completing
the Work. Such insurance shall provide (i) coverage for removal of debris, and
insuring the structures, machines, equipment, facilities, fixtures, and other
properties constituting part of the Work, (ii) transit coverage, including
ocean marine coverage (unless insured by the supplier), (iii) off-site coverage

The deductible on such policy shall not exceed standard deductibles in the
industry for like insurance.


 


B.            Worker’s compensation insurance, including
occupational illness or disease coverage, or other similar social insurance in
accordance with the laws of any country, state, or territory exercising

and


 


C.            Comprehensive automobile liability insurance
against liability claims for personal injury (including bodily injury and
death) and property damage covering all owned, leased, non-owned, and hired
vehicles used by Contractor in the performance of the Work. Such insurance
shall be for an amount not less than One Million United States dollars (U.S.
$1,000,000) per occurrence for combined bodily injury and property damage.
Contractor shall maintain such insurance until Acceptance of all Work,
including remedial work, has occurred; and


 


D.            Such other insurance in types and amounts as is
adequate to cover Contractor’s potential liabilities under this Contract and
applicable law.


 


28.1.2      Additional Insured. Purchaser and each Financing Entity
shall be named as an additional named insured under Contractor’s third-party
liability coverages, provided that, with respect to each Financing Entity, such
Financing Entity has an insurable interest recognized by the applicable
insurance underwriters.


 


28.1.3      Insurers Rating. The insurers selected by Contractor to provide
the insurance required by Article 28.1.1 above shall have a rating at least as

certificate of insurance evidencing the procurement of all required insurance
policies and thirty (30) days written notice prior to any

modification that diminishes the insurance
coverage required hereunder, cancellation, or non-renewal of such policies. If,
after being requested in writing by Purchaser to do so, Contractor fails to
produce evidence of compliance with Contractor’s insurance obligations within
fourteen (14) days, Purchaser may effect and maintain the insurance and pay the
premiums. The amount paid shall be a debt due from Contractor to Purchaser and
may be offset against any payments due Contractor by Purchaser. Purchaser may,
at reasonable times upon reasonable notice, inspect any insurance policy
required hereunder at Contractor’s offices.


 


28.1.5      Claims. Contractor shall, as soon as practicable,
inform Purchaser in writing of any occurrence with respect to the Work that may
give rise to a claim under a policy of insurance required by paragraph (a)
above. Contractor shall ensure that its Subcontractors similarly inform
Purchaser of any such occurrences through Contractor.


 


28.1.6      Waiver of Subrogation. Contractor shall use best reasonable
efforts to require its insurers to waive all rights of subrogation against
Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates and their respective Associates.


 


28.1.7      Warranty. Contractor warrants and covenants that the
insurance coverages and deductibles set forth in this Article 28 are
substantially comparable to those provided to Contractor’s other major
commercial customers.

Each Party shall provide to the other Party any
information that may reasonably be required to prepare, present, and
substantiate an insurance claim at the other Party’s written request.


 


28.2.1      Subject to compliance with Article 7, each Party
warrants and covenants that it will not intentionally withhold from the other
Party any material information it has or will have concerning anomalies,
failures, or non-conformances with or deviations from the requirements of this

assignment, Contractor shall notify Purchaser of the proposed assignment, shall
introduce the individual to appropriate Purchaser representatives and, upon
request, provide such representatives with the opportunity to interview the
individual and shall provide Purchaser with the individual’s resume. If
Purchaser in good faith objects to the qualifications of the proposed

resolve such concerns on a mutually agreeable basis; however, Contractor
retains the unilateral right to make all decisions regarding the assignment of

not be assigned, either in whole or in part or by operation of law, by either

non-assigning Party shall provide its approval if in its reasonable judgment
its rights under this Contract are not and would not be adversely affected
thereby.


 


37.1.2      By Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to
applicable export control restrictions, Purchaser may assign or transfer this
Contract or all its rights, duties, or obligations hereunder to (i) any
Person provided that such Person has sufficient financial resources to fulfill

or (ii) any or all Financing Entities in connection with obtaining
financing for the payment of Contractor’s invoices and any and all other fees,
charges or expenses payable under this Contract under any Financing Agreement: (iii) any
Affiliate of Purchaser, or (iv) any Person who acquires (whether through
acquisition, merger or other similar transaction), all or substantially all of
the assets of Purchaser, provided in any case the assignee, transferee, or
successor to Purchaser has expressly assumed in writing all the obligations of
Purchaser and all terms and conditions applicable to Purchaser under this
Contract.


 


37.1.3      By Contractor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor may
assign or transfer this Contract or all of its rights, duties, or obligations
hereunder (i) to any Affiliate of Contractor, or (ii) in connection
with a sale, transfer, merger, or other reorganization affecting Contractor or
its assets, provided in each such case pursuant to this Article 37.1.3: (a) such
assignment or transfer does not have a material adverse effect on the assignee’s,
transferee’s or successor to Contractor’s technical ability to fulfill its

worth of the assignee, transferee or successor to Contractor is not less than

If any provision of this Contract is declared or found to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon

permitted by law.


 


164

















 


37.4         Waiver of Breach of Contract.


 


A waiver of any provision or any breach of a provision of this Contract
shall not be binding upon either Party unless the waiver is in writing, signed
by a duly authorized representative of the Party to be bound, as applicable,
and such waiver shall not affect the rights of the Party not in breach with
respect to any other or future breach. 
No course of conduct by a Party shall constitute a waiver of any
provision or any breach of a provision of this Contract unless a written waiver
is executed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 37.4.


 


37.5         Amendments.


 


This Contract, including any and all its
Schedules, Attachments, Annexes, Exhibits and Appendices, may not be modified

an instrument.

assume, in the name or on behalf of the other Party, any obligation, expressed
or implied, or to act or purport to act as the agent or the legally empowered
representative of the other Party, for any purpose whatsoever.

laws of the State of California,  
without reference to its conflicts of laws rules.

release either Party from any liabilities or obligations set forth in this

expiration.   Without limitation, the

Except where expressly provided as being in the sole discretion of a
Party, where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent, or similar action by
either Party is required under this Contract, such action shall not be
unreasonably delayed or withheld.  An
approval or consent given by a Party under this Contract shall not relieve the
other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this
Contract, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any rights under this
Contract, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such
approval or consent.

1 — SCOPE


 


This document specifies the performance
characteristics of the ICO 2-GHz GEO Satellite designed to relay digital voice
and data traffic in the 2 GHz band frequencies. The satellites shall be
compatible with the launch constraints, restrictions, environments, and
limitations of the launch vehicles and shall be capable of being placed in a
geostationary orbit at the geostationary position of 91° W longitude.


 


The ICO 2-GHz GEO Satellite Space Segment consist of a
spacecraft, ground-based beam forming (GBBF) subsystem, and tracking, telemetry
and command subsystems.  Within this
segment, two links are provided for communicating between Gateways and users.


 


1.                  A forward link with Ka-band uplinks and
2-GHz band downlinks


 


2.                  A return link with 2-GHz band uplinks and
Ka-band downlinks


 


The 2-GHz  band
coverage is accomplished by employing spot beams, using the Satellite and the
Ground Based Beamforming (GBBF) subsystem. The Satellite shall include a
multi-element feed array and reflector antenna for the 2-GHz band coverage, a
S-band 4 x 4 output hybrid matrix after the HPA ring, a Master Reference
Oscillator (MRO) and two Beacons. Specific GBBF requirements are specified in section
3.18. The GBBF processes the signals to and from the spacecraft S-band feed
array elements, and an ideal GBBF beam forming system is assumed for the
spacecraft requirements.  


 




The ICO communications payload provides two distinct
links between the Gateways and the Users. These links are accomplished with [*]  payload pathways providing S-band
spot beam coverage to the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. The first link is the Forward link, which
provides connectivity between the Gateways and the Users. The Return link provides
connectivity between the Users and the Gateways.  The satellite shall use the 2000-2020 MHz
band for the Earth-to-space service link (Return Link) and the 2180-2200 MHz
band for the space-to-Earth service link (Forward Link). The Earth-to-space
feeder link shall utilize the 29.25-30.0 GHz bands, and space-to-Earth feeder
links shall utilize the 18.55-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz frequency bands.




 


The detailed channelization, polarization, performance
per channel and coverage are defined in section 3.


 


The Satellite described herein shall be three-axis
stabilized. It shall contain an active Attitude Control Subsystem (ACS), a
Telemetry, Command and Ranging (TC&R) subsystem, a Thermal

Control Subsystem (TCS), an Electrical Power Subsystem
(EPS), Propulsion Subsystem and Structure and Mechanisms.

2 — SATELLITE SYSTEM
CHARACTERISTICS


 


2.1                               LAUNCH
REQUIREMENTS


 




The satellite shall be designed to fit within the
dynamic envelope of the [*] Atlas V 421 GCS [*]. The Contractor shall furnish
Ground Support Equipment (GSE) used during the pre-launch phase of the mission.
The satellite shall include all necessary equipment to assure achieving a
synchronous orbit and subsequent mission life in synchronous orbit.  




 


2.2                               ORBIT AND
POSITION


 


The satellite shall acquire and operate in an inclined
geostationary orbit at the assigned orbital location. Initial inclination shall
be set to approximately 6 deg prior to antenna deployment, which will allow the
natural inclination drift to be consistent with the overall lifetime
requirement.  No North-South
Stationkeeping maneuvers shall be required. The satellite control system shall
maintain the longitude within ±0.05° of the assigned orbit slot whenever the
satellite’s sub-satellite point is within 0.05° of the equatorial plane,
assuming ground equipment and software are compatible with the orbit
determination requirements. The contractor shall demonstrate that the design is
compliant with Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), saturation flux
density, Gain to Noise Temperature (G/T), and all other communications
performance specifications throughout the geosynchronous orbit mission,
excluding stationkeeping maneuvers and transitions.


 


2.3                                           IN-ORBIT
ENVIRONMENT


 


The satellite shall be designed to meet all satellite
performance specifications during and after exposure to the orbital environments
expected at geosynchronous altitude throughout the specified mission life.


 


The design of the satellite shall also minimize the
occurrence and/or effect of electrostatic charging, passive intermodulation and
multipaction. The satellite design must be robust with respect to Electrostatic
Discharges (ESD). The satellite design shall ensure, through the use of in-line
attenuators or other techniques, that all floating RF coaxial cable center
conductors have a bleed path to ground. 


 


The space environmental conditions are set forth in
Annex A to this Exhibit.


 


2.4                               SATELLITE
SAFETY


 


The satellite shall be designed so that when operated
in conjunction with its Ground Support Equipment, the launch vehicle, and/or
the Telemetry, Control, and Ranging (TC&R) facility the


 


3

















 




[*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

probability of unsafe responses is minimized,
particularly with respect to the operation of the propulsion module and during
thruster firing.


 




The satellite shall be capable of operation without
ground TC&R uplinks for up to [*] with no performance degradation with the
exception of stationkeeping performance deradation.  




 


On-board sources of stored energy should be depleted
for safety when they are no longer required for mission operations or
postmission disposal.  Depletion should
not pose an unacceptable risk to the payload. 
Propellant depletion burns and compressed gas releases should be
designed to minimize the probability of subsequent accidental collision and to
minimize the impact of a subsequent accidental explosion.

The bus is defined as the equipment used for on-orbit
satellite operations. The bus does not include the payload (antennas and
communication transponders) or the equipment that directly supports only the
payload. Equipment required only for launch and station acquisition is not considered
to be a part of the satellite bus. There shall be no item in the bus the
failure of which will cause loss of the satellite mission unless that item has
a probability of success that is [*] for mission life. The mission life shall
include [*] for the purpose of calculating spacecraft life.

2.5.3                                 General Conditions


 


The following general conditions shall be applied in
the reliability assessment of the system based upon commercial practices in
accordance with the requirements of Exhibit C:


 




[*]  




 


2.6                               On-Ground
Storage 


 




The satellite shall be capable of operating to the
requirements of this specification after being in storage for up to [*] in an
environment controlled to a temperature range of [*] During prolonged storage,
batteries shall be stored separately under appropriate environmental
conditions.  




 


2.7                               LIFETIME


 




The satellite inherent design, including propellant
tank size, to accommodate a [*] propellant load, and solar array capacity,
shall ensure that it will continue to operate according to this specification
on station for a mission life greater than or equal to 15 years. For wear out,
radiation (excluding the solar array), and worst-case analysis a design life
greater than 15 years shall be demonstrated. A major criterion in flight design
will be to maximize the on-orbit propellant without unduly increasing mission
risk.  




 


2.8                               DEFINITION
OF COORDINATE AXES AND ATTITUDE ANGLES

1 — SCOPE


 


This document is intended to be used as a reference for designing the
Satellite and Ground Based Beam Forming subsystem.


 


This document specifies the performance characteristics of the ICO
2-GHz GEO Space Segment operating in the 2 GHz MSS frequency band.


 


The Space Segment consists of the Satellite and Ground Based Beam
Forming (GBBF) sub-system. The elements are illustrated in Figure 1-1. The
interfaces between the GBBF and the Gateway shall be defined in the ICD Spacecraft
to GBBF and Annex A. The interface between the GBBF and the Satellite shall be
defined in the ICD Satellite to Gateway.


 


Section 2 of this document provides the performance of the Space
Segment for only those functions with performance directly affected by the GBBF
sub-system. The full performance of the Satellite is contained in the Satellite
Specification. Section 3 of this document provides the performance of the GBBF
sub-system.


 


Annex A contains the Purchaser furnished items required to meet this
Space Segment performance specification.

2 — SPACE SEGMENT COMMUNICATIONS
CHARACTERISTICS


 


 


2.1          DESCRIPTION


The Space Segment Communication Characteristics shall define the
performance of the combined GBBF Subsystem, the Satellite, and the Gateway RF
terminal.


 


The Satellite shall consist of two links for communicating with the
users.


 


                1.             A forward link with Ka-band uplinks
and 2 GHz-band downlinks


 


                2.             A return link with 2 GHz-band
uplinks and Ka-band downlinks


 


The 2 GHz-band coverage is accomplished by employing spot beams, using
the Satellite and the Ground Based Beamforming (GBBF) subsystem. The Satellite
shall include a multi-element feed array and reflector antenna for the 2
GHz-band coverage. The GBBF shall process the signals to and from the feed
array elements on the satellite to form the user spot beams.


 


In the forward direction, the Gateway feeder link signals shall provide
the forward user signals formatted such that the spacecraft can separate and
apply the appropriate signals to the S-band feed elements to form the user spot
beams.


 


In the return direction, the Satellite shall receive the user uplink
signals in each feed element and format these signals for relay to the Gateway,
where the GBBF shall combine the feed element signals to form the return user
[signals associated with the user] spot beams.


 


In the Forward link direction the GBBF Subsystem shall receive spectrum
containing traffic for each unique beam as defined in the ICD GBBF-Gateway. In
the Return link direction the GBBF Subsystem shall output spectrum containing
traffic beams for each unique beam as defined in the ICD GBBF-Gateway.


 


The GBBF Subsystem shall form User Spot beams with the performance defined
in this specification [*]


 


2.2          TRANSMISSION
MODES


The space segment communications shall be compatible with CDMA, TDMA,
FDMA and OFDM (or all simultaneously) transmission methods. [*]

2.3.7                                 Space Segment
Warranty


 


The Space Segment
warranty is described in Contract Article 15.


 




Contractor shall
provide a Space Segment [*] warranty starting from Acceptance of the Space
Segment, covering the functionality of all Space Segment products except the
Satellite and Satellite-only products, including [*]. The description of the
extent of the GBBF Subsystem hardware sparing and maintenance work is also to
be documented in CDRL 31, the GBBF Subsystem Spares and Maintenance Plan.  




 


The Space Segment Warranty is based on the “as accepted” condition of
GBBF and Space Segment. The Space Segment Warranty shall not require
replacement or hardware repair of the Satellite itself.


 




In the event that the Space Segment performance degrades during the
warranty period due to anomalous performance of the Satellite (deviations from
Exhibit B), the Contractor shall take reasonable steps to analyze and recommend
the steps required to recover successful operation of the Space Segment. In the
case where the Satellite performance degrades in a way that the “as accepted”
Space Segment performance can not be recovered, then Contractor shall make
reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Satellite anomaly and
maximize the performance of the Space Segment. These measures to recover the
Space Segment performance may include and be limited to [*]  




 


Any GBBF software modifications or GBBF hardware modifications required
to recover from Satellite anomalous behavior are covered by this warranty only
to the extent in Contract Article 15.1.3. However, any GBBF software
modifications or GBBF hardware modifications required to recover GBBF
performance to the “as-accepted” condition from causes other than Satellite
anomalies (deviations from exhibit B) shall be covered by this warranty.


 


Any and all recovery steps involving Satellite commanding operations
required to return the Space Segment to its warranted condition shall be
mutually agreed between the Contractor and Purchaser. All on-site warranty and
maintenance support activities shall be coordinated with Purchaser.

Certification Support


 




Within [*] days
after Satellite Launch, if the Satellite and GBBF conditions allow, Contractor
shall power up the Satellite payload and GBBF Subsystem and support Purchaser’s
tasks for certification to the FCC that the system is operational. This support
includes up to [*] in addition to the Satellite IOT baseline. Contractor will
provide all reasonable support for this activity comparable to the resources
used during Satellite IOT and SSIOT. [*]
