pay any amounts due by it to the Contractor within the times specified in this Contract, which amounts are not the subject of a good faith dispute as set forth in Paragraph 5.6.1, Contractor
may, by written notice to Customer, if such failure is not corrected by Customer within ten (10) Business Days after written notice is given by Contractor (or such longer period as Contractor

        Contractor is responsible for testing, demonstrating, delivering, and certifying to Customer that each Spacecraft, and all other Deliverable Hardware and
Deliverable Data as specified in Paragraph 3.1, Items 4(a) through 4(e), meet all of the requirements of this Contract, including the Spacecraft Performance Requirements. Customer's right of
inspection or acceptance shall not be deemed a waiver of any Defect, except as may be expressly agreed in writing by Customer in accordance with Paragraph 7.2 below. Prior to asking Customer to
accept any Deliverable Items and prior to Delivery, Contractor shall, subject to Paragraph 7.2 below, certify, in writing, in the form set forth in Attachment 10, that the Deliverable Items
conform to all Contract requirements. 

 7.2    Waivers  

        Contractor shall, in a timely manner, notify Customer at such time that Contractor determines that it will not be able to meet a particular Contract requirement
or specification and shall seek a waiver from Customer. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Customer to grant a waiver, but, if it is willing to consider doing so, Customer 

17

 

may
grant the waiver. No waiver granted by Customer and no denial of a waiver by Customer shall affect the Promised Delivery Date of any Deliverable Item unless Customer expressly so agrees. Any
waiver approved by Customer shall be deemed an amendment to the applicable performance specification for such Deliverable Item for all purposes hereunder, from and after such approval date; provided
that a waiver granted with respect to a particular Spacecraft of other Deliverable Item shall not be deemed to apply to any other Spacecraft or Deliverable Item unless the waiver expressly includes
such other Spacecraft or Deliverable Item. 

 7.3    Inspections  

        *** 

 7.4    Spacecraft Acceptance Procedure  

        7.4.1    SPSR.    Contractor shall conduct a review (a "Spacecraft Pre-Shipment Review" or "SPSR") of each
Spacecraft prior to Contractor's shipment of such Spacecraft to its Designated Launch Site. The SPSR shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 7.4 and
Section 4.3.17 of the Statement of Work. 

	(a)
	Time, Place and Notice of SPSR.    Each SPSR shall take place at Contractor's facility. Contractor shall notify Customer in
writing approximately thirty (30) Days prior to the date that each Spacecraft shall be available for SPSR, which shall be the scheduled date for commencement of such SPSR. If Customer cannot
commence such SPSR on such scheduled date, Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate Customer's reasonable re-scheduling requests provided that any delay in completion of
SPSR resulting directly from such rescheduling shall be deemed an excusable delay and such excusable delay period shall be excluded from any calculation of excusable delay Days set forth in
Paragraph 18.1.

	(b)
	Conduct and Purpose of SPSR.    The purpose of the SPSR shall be to review test data and analyses for each Spacecraft to
determine whether such Spacecraft meets the applicable Spacecraft Performance Requirements and is therefore ready for shipment to its Designated Launch Site.

	(c)
	Pending Waivers.    Any pending waiver requests, or any circumstances which Contractor reasonably believes will result in a
Contractor request for waiver or deviation from, provisions(s) of the performance specifications applicable to a Spacecraft or other related Deliverable Item shall be submitted to Customer and

resolved
prior to the commencement of the applicable SPSR. 

	(d)
	Customer's Inspection Representatives.    Customer may cause any representatives designated by Customer to observe each SPSR;
provided, however, that the provisions of Article 27 shall apply to any such representatives.

	(e)
	SPSR Results.    At completion of the SPSR for each Spacecraft, Contractor shall submit to Customer the SPSR results. Within
ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such results, Customer shall notify Contractor in writing of Customer's concurrence or disagreement with the results of the SPSR. In the event that
Contractor and Customer concur that such SPSR demonstrates conformity of the applicable Spacecraft to the applicable requirements of the Spacecraft Performance Requirements (including any waivers or
deviations previously approved by Customer), the Spacecraft shall be prepared and shipped to its Designated Launch Site for Launch. In the event that such SPSR discloses any
non-conformance of the Spacecraft to the requirements of the Spacecraft Performance Requirements (not the subject of any prior waivers or deviations approved by Customer), Customer's
notice shall state each such non-conformance (with reference to the applicable requirement of the Spacecraft Performance Requirements deemed not met), and Contractor shall correct or
repair (in the manner determined by Contractor) each such non-conformance (except as may be subsequently waived by Customer), and resubmit the Spacecraft for SPSR in accordance with this
Paragraph 7.4.1 as to each corrected or repaired element.

	(f)
	Inspection Costs Borne by Customer.    All costs and expenses incurred by Customer and its representatives in connection with
their activities under this Paragraph 7.4.1, including travel and living expenses, shall be borne solely by Customer.

	(g)
	Correction of Deficiencies After SPSR.    If at any time following the SPSR for any Spacecraft, and prior to Intentional
Ignition, such Spacecraft fails to meet the Spacecraft Performance Requirements (as may be modified or waived by Customer), Contractor shall promptly undertake to correct such deficiencies prior to
Intentional Ignition at its own cost and expense. 

        7.4.2    Transport.    Following a successful completion of the SPSR for each Spacecraft, Contractor shall ship such
Spacecraft to its Designated Launch Site and proceed with the further testing and Launch of the Spacecraft and Launch Support in accordance with the Statement of Work and Attachment 3.
Contractor shall notify Customer of the IOT schedule for each Spacecraft at least thirty (30) Days prior to the Launch of such Spacecraft. Each IOT shall be conducted in accordance with the 

19

 

Statement
of Work and Attachment 3, and in accordance with Article 14, Customer's representatives shall be permitted to observe all phases of the IOT. 

        7.4.3    Final Acceptance.    When each IOT is completed, Contractor shall submit to Customer the test results and
shall hold an acceptance review with Customer. At the conclusion of the acceptance review, including the resolution of any outstanding Spacecraft performance issues, Contractor shall deliver to
Customer the final IOT report together with a Certification of one of Contractor's officers or the President or Senior Executive responsible for the Contractor's performing business unit that the
applicable Spacecraft meets the criteria for Unconditional Acceptance as described in Paragraph 7.4.3(a) or for Conditional Acceptance as described in Paragraph 7.4.3(b), with if
necessary, an explanation of the criteria that the Spacecraft does not meet, or that the Spacecraft is a Total Loss or a Constructive Total Loss. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt

without Customer's express written consent) has been employed on, or used in connection with, at least one (1) in-orbit spacecraft and that, whether on a Rainbow or other
spacecraft, has (to Contractor's knowledge) experienced no in-orbit or unresolved ground test anomalies,***, which, in each case, have been remedied for future spacecraft, including the
Spacecraft, or determined to be isolated to the particular spacecraft as to which the anomaly was identified, in each case as reasonably and fairly summarized in writing to Customer in Attachment 14
attached hereto. 

 16.2    Notice  

        Whether before or after Acceptance of any Spacecraft, Contractor shall promptly notify Customer of any circumstance, known to Contractor, or identified by
Contractor or Customer, and determined and documented by Contractor to be relevant to such Spacecraft, that would make any statement set forth in Paragraph 16.1, if made at the time, no longer

reasonable corrective measures are available to it (including software changes, changes to operational procedures and any other ground-based solutions) *** so as to eliminate or ameliorate the effect
of the deficiencies (unless the Parties mutually determine that correcting or bypassing a malfunction or anomaly in the Spacecraft software will harm the operation of the Spacecraft). Customer shall
have the right to reject, until SPSR any Spacecraft that does not meet the requirements of this 16 and Customer shall have the right to require Contractor to remedy any malfunction or anomaly until
Launch of the Spacecraft. Thereafter, Customer's obligations to complete Delivery and Acceptance of the Spacecraft shall be governed by other provisions of this Contract.

        18.3.1    Non-Payment.    Contractor may, by written notice issued by Contractor's Authorized
Representative, terminate this Contract with respect to a particular Spacecraft or other Deliverable Item (except for any Deliverable Items for which Delivery and Acceptance have been completed and
paid for by Customer) if Customer has failed to make any payment applicable to such particular Spacecraft or other Deliverable Item within thirty (30) Days of the Payment Due Date in accordance
with the Milestone Payment Plan and such failure is not cured within a period of an additional thirty (30) Days after notice of such failure is given by Contractor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, amounts which are disputed in good faith shall not be justification for Contractor to terminate this Contract pursuant to this Paragraph 18.3.1, provided any undisputed portion is
paid within the time period required. If a termination occurs under this Paragraph 18.3.1, Contractor shall be entitled to immediately stop Work on the terminated item under this Contract and
shall be entitled to a settlement calculated pursuant to 17. This Paragraph shall not be applicable where Contractor has required that an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit be established in favor

        18.3.2    Letter of Credit.    In the event Customer fails to maintain any required Letter of Credit, or replenish the
amount available for draw under the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of Paragraphs 5.1.2(b) and (c) of the Contract, or in the event that Contractor has not been able to collect
under the Letter of Credit any payment not received by its Payment Due Date and such late payment has not been remedied within thirty (30) Days of Contractor's notice of a Letter of Credit
deficiency described above, the Contractor shall be entitled to terminate this Contract and shall treat the termination as having issued under Article 17.

floods, riots, strikes, lock-outs (excluding strikes or lock-outs at Contractor owned or operated facilities), epidemics, blockades, quarantine restrictions and embargoes, acts
of terrorism, launcher unavailability, declared war, civil insurrection, or work stoppage by Contractor under Paragraph 5.6.2 provided in every case
such acts or occurrences are without the fault or negligence of or result from the actions or inactions of Contractor and its Subcontractors, shall constitute excusable delays if a written claim
thereof together with information sufficient to support such claim is received by Customer within ten (10) Business Days after the Contractor reasonably determines that the act or occurrence
may delay Delivery. Contractor shall provide written evidence of the period of such delay. Contractor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the effect of any force majeure delay through
the use of any work-around solution, including to the extent appropriate but without limitation, through the use of work-around schedules, twenty-four
(24)-hour operations, and through the use of alternative suppliers (to be approved by Customer where required under 10). The Delivery

the obligations of the other Party, as stated in this Contract will not be met, the Party shall give written notice of its objections and the reasons therefore and may recommend corrective action by
the other Party. The Contractor's Program Manager shall consult with Customer's Program Manager in an effort to reach an agreement to overcome the objections (first instance). 

 21.2    Escalation  

        In the event that an agreement cannot be reached within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice, then either Party may request, within a
further period of two (2) Business Days, that the dispute be escalated and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to the Contractor's Vice-President, and
Customer's equivalent Vice-President, for discussion, and an attempt shall be made to reach agreement to overcome the objections (second instance). 

 21.3    Further Escalation  

        In the event that agreement cannot be reached in the second instance within twenty (20) Business Days, then either Party may request within a further

unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Contract or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York or the United
States of America, in each case having jurisdiction over the County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient or improper forum.

 22.4    Intellectual Property Indemnification Exclusion

claim in question resulted from a modification or addition to any Deliverable Item after Acceptance which Customer requested to be carried out by an entity, other than Contractor, or which was carried
out by Customer itself, and which, in either case, did not arise from (i) an obligation of Contractor under the Contract; or (ii) a specific recommendation by Contractor. In addition,
Contractor shall have no liability for any infringement to the extent arising from use of any Deliverable Item other than as or in connection with a communications satellite or the combination of such
item or part with any other item or part not
furnished to Customer by Contractor hereunder or approved or recommended by Contractor, unless such combination is customary in the industry. 

        Customer
shall hold Contractor harmless against any expense, judgment or loss for infringement of any patents, copyrights or trademarks, which results from Contractor's use of or
compliance with designs, detailed specifications (not including performance specifications) provided by Customer. Contractor acknowledges that as at EDC none of the foregoing has been provided by
Customer to Contractor.

required under any laws, and which become due by reason of the performance of Work under this Contract or any Subcontract hereunder, and shall execute and deliver such other further instruments, and
comply with such requirements of said laws, as may be necessary thereunder to confirm and effectuate this Contract, including making of payment of any interest or penalties related to or arising from
such taxes, duties, tariffs or other charges. 

        22.6    Procedures  

        In the event of a claim with respect to which a Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such party ("Indemnified Party") shall notify the other party
("Indemnifying Party") in writing as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Days after receipt of such claim; provided that a delay in giving such notice shall not
preclude the Indemnified Party from seeking indemnification hereunder if such delay has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall
promptly defend such claim (by counsel of its own choosing and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the
defense of such claim, including the settlement of the matter on the basis stipulated by the Indemnifying Party (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all costs and expenses of such
settlement and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in cooperating with the Indemnifying Party), subject to the limitations on settlement
described in Paragraphs 22.6.1 and 22.6.2 below. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of a claim, fails to defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim at the expense of, for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party. Upon the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of

unreasonably withheld; and 

        22.6.2    Counterclaim.    If the facts giving rise to indemnification hereunder shall involve a possible claim by the
Indemnified Party against a third party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense to undertake the prosecution, compromise, and settlement of such claim.
