	 	 	 	upon consultation with [***Redacted***] (through Partner), either (A) a
proportionate refund of the applicable Access Fee; or (B) an appropriate
amount of additional Access Time, but in no event exceeding the Access Time
lost by virtue of the Shortfall; provided that, in the event of the election
of clause (B), such additional Access Time shall be utilized within a one
year period from the month in which the Shortfall occurred as agreed upon by
the parties, Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary, the foregoing shall constitute Partner’s sole and exclusive remedy
for the failure of DigitalGlobe to provide the Access Time.

	 	5.2.2.	 	U.S. Government Suspension Adjustment. If a U.S. Government Entity
suspends Satellite imaging operations of Partner in the entire ROI (“U.S.
Government Suspension”) and such suspension is not a Permanent Suspension
or a Limited Area Suspension, as defined below, and Partner demonstrates
satisfactory to DigitalGlobe that such suspension has produced a material,
unanticipated negative impact upon Partner’s business operations, Partner will
receive, as its exclusive remedy, a “Suspension Adjustment” consisting
of either: (A) a proportionate refund of the Access Fee (and unused prepaid
Distribution Fee to the extent Partner’s commercial distribution rights are
materially adversely affected) relating to the relevant period; or (B) an
appropriate amount of additional Access Time, either during subsequent months
or by way of extension of the term hereof. The foregoing election of either A
or B shall be made by DigitalGlobe, following consultation with
[***Redacted***] (through Partner). The Suspension Adjustment will not apply
if Partner receives revenues to compensate for the lost Access Fee and unused
prepaid Distribution Fees (as applicable) resulting from purchases of archived
WorldView Products during the suspension period. Partner will include in its
own customer contracts, licenses, purchase orders and similar documents
provisions protecting both Partner and DigitalGlobe from claims arising out of
a U.S. Government Suspension.
	 
	 	 	 	Partner acknowledges that the U.S. Government may impose a “Permanent
Suspension”, defined to be a complete blackout of imaging and
distribution in the entire ROI for not fewer than 180 consecutive days’
duration, without a stated terminal date. In the event such Permanent
Suspension is imposed, Partner will be entitled to a Suspension Adjustment,
as provided above, for a period equal to the term of such Permanent
Suspension, but in no case exceeding 180 days. If the Permanent Suspension
extends for more than 180 consecutive days, Partner may, as its sole and
exclusive remedy for a Permanent Suspension, terminate this Agreement in
accordance with Section 19, and DigitalGlobe shall negotiate in good faith
an appropriate refund of the Access Fees and Distribution Fees (to the
extent Partner’s commercial distribution rights are materially adversely
affected) paid by Partner hereunder, but not used or otherwise credited.
	 
	 	 	 	In addition, Partner acknowledges that the U.S. Government may, from time to
time, impose imaging and/or distribution restrictions covering limited areas
of the ROI (i.e. less than the entire ROI) (“Limited Area
Restriction”). Partner shall not be entitled to a Suspension Adjustment
for such Limited Area Restriction, and such restriction shall not be
considered a default by

	 	 	 	DigitalGlobe or an event of force majeure entitling Partner to terminate or
suspend this Agreement. Partner expressly assumes the risk of a Limited
Area Restriction.

	 	5.3.	 	Taxes. It is the intention of the parties that DigitalGlobe shall not
be responsible or liable for the payment of any taxes, other than U.S. income taxes,
with respect to any actions of or payments by DigitalGlobe pursuant to this Agreement.
All of Partner’s payments under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any
applicable withholding, income or any other taxes or charges whatsoever. To the extent
Partner is required to withhold taxes or other charges from such payment, the amount of
such payment will be increased so that the net amount paid equals the amount that would
otherwise be payable had such taxes or charges not been required to be withheld.
Partner will provide to DigitalGlobe copies of such documentation as is necessary to
establish the amount of taxes or other charges withheld in connection with such payment
and the corresponding adjustment made by Partner. In the event that any jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, any jurisdiction in Japan) imposes or seeks to impose
any taxes, other than U.S. income taxes, on DigitalGlobe as a result of or in
connection with DigitalGlobe’s performance of this Agreement or its receipt of any
payment hereunder, Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless DigitalGlobe, on an
after-tax basis, for the full amount of (i) any such additional taxes required to be
paid by DigitalGlobe, (ii) any penalties, interests or additions to any such tax,
(iii) any expenses incurred by DigitalGlobe in connection with contesting the
imposition of such additional taxes, and (iv) any other costs or expenses incurred by
DigitalGlobe in connection therewith.

	6.	 	Delivery of Data. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary,
Partner will make available to DigitalGlobe all data (including WorldView Data) obtained by
Partner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as requested by or for the NSLRSDA or other
U.S. Governmental agencies, on reasonable cost and delivery terms as agreed by DigitalGlobe
and the NSLRSDA or U.S. Government agency, as applicable. In addition, DigitalGlobe shall
maintain such data in its commercial imagery library. DigitalGlobe and the NSLRSDA may make
these data available immediately to the public. Partner may, with DigitalGlobe’s consent,
purchase secret archive services to keep selected imagery out of DigitalGlobe’s image library,
subject to the DigitalGlobe policy, and terms and conditions, in effect from time to time.
	 
	7.	 	Use and Protection of Trademarks and Logos. Upon the request of Partner,
DigitalGlobe will in good faith negotiate with Partner a non-exclusive license to use certain
DigitalGlobe trademarks, tradenames, service marks and logos to be identified by DigitalGlobe,
as well as any DigitalGlobe-approved translations or adaptations of the foregoing proposed by
Partner (collectively, the “Marks”).
	 
	8.	 	Space Equipment. The QuickBird Satellite, WorldView 1 Satellite, the WorldView 2
Satellite, the corresponding Sensors and the related communications equipment affixed to the
Satellite (collectively, the “Space Equipment”) shall have operating characteristics
substantially as described in Exhibit F. The Space Equipment shall be owned,
controlled and maintained at all times by DigitalGlobe. Partner shall have no rights in or to
the Space Equipment. DigitalGlobe reserves the right to make changes to the Space Equipment
at any time at its discretion. Any changes to the Space Equipment which have a material
adverse affect on Partner’s rights or operational capabilities hereunder shall be discussed by
the parties, and any mutually agreeable modifications to this Agreement shall be made, as
necessary. Partner acknowledges that

	 	 	DigitalGlobe is the sole owner of the Space Equipment, DigitalGlobe’s ground facilities and
other related assets. Except as expressly set forth herein, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS
AGREEMENT BE INTERPRETED TO CONVEY OWNERSHIP, OPERATING OR OTHER RIGHTS IN THE SPACE
EQUIPMENT, DIGITALGLOBE’S GROUND FACILITIES AND ANY OTHER DIGITALGLOBE ASSETS TO PARTNER.

	9.	 	Ground Station; Ground Station Equipment and Software.

	 	9.1.	 	Partner agrees to acquire, operate and be responsible for, at its sole expense,
all the ground station equipment (“Ground Station Equipment”) and Software
necessary to exercise the rights granted to it in Sections 3 and 4 hereof. Partner
further agrees to establish and operate any and all communications links (including by
not limited to Internet links) between Partner and DigitalGlobe as may be necessary to
fulfill the operational and management requirements applicable to the Ground Stations,
and shall obtain and maintain during the term hereof all licenses and other approvals
of all governmental entities and authorities with jurisdiction over the Ground
Stations, as may be necessary to construct, operate and maintain the Ground Stations
and the Ground Station Equipment and Software. Partner’s failure to adequately
maintain and operate any Ground Station or the Ground Station Equipment and Software
shall not excuse or relieve Partner of any payment obligations under this Agreement.
	 
	 	9.2.	 	DigitalGlobe agrees that during the term of this Agreement, except as
contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, DigitalGlobe shall not materially support
any third party’s efforts to acquire a ground station for purposes of providing
WorldView Data to the [***Redacted***].
	 
	 	9.3.	 	Partner’s Ground Station Obligations.

	 	9.3.1.	 	Only Use Equipment and Software. In recognition of the importance of
maintaining the technical integrity of the Space Equipment and all related
equipment and a consistently high level of quality and uniformity for
DigitalGlobe products, Partner will use only Ground Station Equipment and
Software approved by DigitalGlobe to task the WorldView 1 and WorldView 2
Satellites, and receive WorldView Data. DigitalGlobe shall not refuse or delay
the approval stated in this section more than 30 days after obtaining knowledge
of any incompatibility or other nonconformity of technical performance to
DigitalGlobe’s criteria, unless DigitalGlobe notifies Partner of the
incompatibility or other nonconformity of technical performance to the
DigitalGlobe’s criteria.
	 
	 	9.3.2.	 	Non-Interference. Partner will not interfere with the exercise of
imaging rights by other distribution partners or resellers of DigitalGlobe or
DigitalGlobe, nor with the control of any satellite by DigitalGlobe. In the
event of such interference, regardless of whether or not it is intentional or
negligent, DigitalGlobe may, in its sole discretion, suspend Partner’s Access
Rights pending Partner’s correction of the interference problem and payment in
full to DigitalGlobe and/or such distribution partner of an amount equal to all
damages (direct or indirect) either or both of them incur because of Partner’s
interference. No such suspension will entitle Partner to any refund or
reduction of its fees

	 	 	 	hereunder. If the interference continues for 24 hours after notice from
DigitalGlobe, DigitalGlobe may, at its option, immediately terminate this
Agreement for default pursuant to Section 19, but without having to comply
with the notice and cure provisions of that Section.

	10.	 	Product Quality; Technical Failure; System Failure.

	 	10.1.	 	General. Partner will comply with all quality assurance standards and
procedures set forth in this Agreement. Partner will provide to DigitalGlobe a written
report, on a semi-annual basis, describing any and all customer complaints, and the
identity of the customer making such complaint, regarding the quality of any WorldView
Products or the level of service provided by Partner.
	 
	 	10.2.	 	Compliance Reviews. In order to determine whether Partner is
maintaining the prescribed quality standards and quality control procedures, Partner
will, upon request, provide to DigitalGlobe, (i) copies, photographs or representative
samples of Partner’s advertising copy, promotional materials or other materials
relating to WorldView Products; (ii) samples of WorldView Products; and (iii) access
during normal business hours to Partner’s facilities.
	 
	 	10.3.	 	Technical Failure.

	 	10.3.1.	 	Claims by Partner. If, after the Access Start Date, Partner
reasonably believes that the WorldView Data does not substantially
qualitatively and quantitatively conform to the WorldView Data definition,
other than for reasons of force majeure as described in Section 19, then
Partner will provide DigitalGlobe with written notice describing the
nonconformity. If DigitalGlobe agrees there is a nonconformity and that the
nonconformity is directly caused by the Space Equipment and is not related to
Partner’s operation or maintenance of the Ground Station or other related
equipment, the parties will confer and attempt in good faith to achieve a fair
and amicable resolution to Partner’s complaint. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if DigitalGlobe corrects the non-conformity within five days after notice from
Partner, there will be no refund of the Access Fee. If the results of the
parties’ discussions are not successful in resolving the dispute within 30 days
following Partner’s notice of the nonconformity, then either party may initiate
arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 21.
	 
	 	10.3.2.	 	Claims by [***Redacted***]. If, after the Access Start Date,
[***Redacted***] reasonably believes that the WorldView Data does not
substantially qualitatively and quantitatively conform to the WorldView Data
definition, other than for reasons of force majeure as described in Section 19,
then Partner shall (i) provide DigitalGlobe with such notice and access to
[***Redacted***] facilities necessary to enable DigitalGlobe to determine
whether there is a nonconformity and whether the nonconformity is directly
caused by the Space Equipment and is not related to Partner’s operation or
maintenance of the Ground Station or other related equipment, and (ii) release
DigitalGlobe and its Related Parties, and indemnify and hold harmless
DigitalGlobe and its Related Parties with respect to all costs, liabilities,
damages, penalties, fines and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys
fees and costs

related to any such claim by [***Redacted***]. Further, if DigitalGlobe
agrees there is a nonconformity and that the nonconformity is directly
caused by the Space Equipment and is not related to Partner’s and/or
[***Redacted***]’s operation or maintenance of the Ground Station or other
related equipment, the parties will confer and attempt in good faith to
achieve a fair and amicable resolution to [***Redacted***]’s complaint. If
the results of the parties’ discussions are not successful in resolving the
dispute within 30 days following Partner’s and/or [***Redacted***]’s notice
of the nonconformity, then either party may initiate arbitration proceedings
pursuant to Section 21.

Failure is corrected, provided that upon the correction of such System Failure,
Partner shall immediately resume its obligation to pay quarterly Access Fees, including
any pro rata Access Fees for the remaining portion of the quarter in which the
correction occurred. DigitalGlobe shall have 180 days from the date of the System

commercial distribution rights have been materially adversely affected, then
DigitalGlobe shall refund to Partner a portion of the Access Fee and paid but unused
Distribution Fee attributable to the period during which the System Failure occurred,
pro rated based upon the number of days of the System Failure, and the Term hereof will
be extended for the length of time required to cure the System Failure. If the System
Failure is not remedied within the Cure Period, then Partner may terminate this

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Confidential

B-1

 

Exhibit C

DDL Procedures and Conflicts Resolution

The following section provides an initial description of the Concept of Operations for allocation
of passes, tasking and direct downlink of data for the WorldView 2 Satellite, detailed descriptions
of which will follow in the WorldView Direct Access Program Specification to be provided by
DigitalGlobe.

Imaging Time on the Satellite

DigitalGlobe will provide [***Redacted***] with a monthly allotment of WorldView 2 access minutes.
These minutes are used to command the WorldView 2 Satellite for use within [***Redacted***]’s
communication cone(s) on descending passes only. Fundamentally, minute allocation is accomplished
based on the following rules:

	 	•	 	DigitalGlobe will leave the WorldView 2 Satellite pointing at nadir when entering
[***Redacted***]’s assigned collection window.
	 
	 	•	 	Minutes may be allocated in variable blocks of time, with the longest allocation being
the entire portion of a pass bisecting a Ground Station’s communication cone and the
shortest allocation being 3 minutes. For pass durations lasting less than three minutes,
[***Redacted***] may acquire the length of the pass if so desired.
	 
	 	•	 	Multiple segments of a single pass may be chosen, but must be separated by a minimum of
3 minutes (this benefits [***Redacted***] in that entire passes do not need to be
purchased).
	 
	 	•	 	Minute expenditure includes satellite slew time between customer targets
selected—minimized by the significant improvement in WorldView 2 Satellite slew
times—downlink time, and leaving the satellite at nadir pointing before the end of the
collection window.
	 
	 	•	 	If multiple [***Redacted***] communication cones exist, [***Redacted***] may allocate
the entire uninterrupted portion of the satellite track traversing both cones—image
downlink may be temporarily interrupted during re-orientation of the downlink antenna to
the southern communication cone.

Downlinking to a Ground Station

DigitalGlobe’s WorldView satellites utilize direct downlink to deliver collected imagery to
[***Redacted***]. The WorldView 2 Satellite utilizes a temporary storage method on-board the
satellite during the collection and downlink process in which an imaging event (defined as a single
scene up to multiple scenes) is recorded into the buffer for transmittal. Transmission of the
imagery and ephemeris data to the ground station occurs after an end of file (EOF) is written for
each imaging event. Therefore, it is important to understand the following downlink
characteristics:

	 	•	 	Long imaging events in the southern half of a communications cone may be precluded from
being successfully downlinked before the satellite passes out of range of the ground
station. Planning collections with shorter imaging events in this part of the
communication cone minimizes the chance data will not be downlinked during the pass in
which it is collected.

DATA RECEPTION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Confidential

C-1

 

	 	•	 	Any imaging event near the edge of the communication cone may not have enough time to be
downlinked during the pass in which it is collected.
	 
	 	•	 	Any imagery that is unable to be downlinked will be held on-board the satellite until
the next downlink opportunity or via a Virtual Ground Terminal (VGT) delivery. Note that it
may often be much faster to downlink such imagery to DigitalGlobe’s polar ground stations
and then delivery made via VGT –usually a 2-4 hour process. If this is not desired, the
imagery can be held on-board the satellite until the next available downlink opportunity
(usually on an ascending pass and approximately 10-12 hours after collection). Up to three
images may be held on-board at no additional charge.
	 
	 	•	 	Imagery held on-board the satellite for downlink in the next descending (imaging) pass
on the same day of collection requires that a second window be reserved (and purchased) to
allocate enough time for any new imaging events and the downlink of the stored and new
imagery. Reserving/purchasing in the second window—which also may be used for imaging—will
be subject to normal minute allocation rules (see the pass allocation rules in the
deconfliction section).

Imaging Priority

DigitalGlobe is offering [***Redacted***] its highest commercially available imaging priority on
the WorldView 2 satellite for allocated passes within the ROI. WorldView 2 priority for direct
tasking/direct downlink ensures [***Redacted***] receives assured access to the satellite for all
assigned passes. Once [***Redacted***] is granted a pass, it will not have the pass retracted
except under the following rare circumstances:

	 	•	 	Invocation of formal shutter control by the US Government
	 
	 	•	 	Unforeseen satellite maintenance/safety issue

Note: In the event either of these events occur, [***Redacted***] receives a full refund of any
access minutes lost and is permitted to re-assign the minutes to available passes, carry the
minutes over to the next month, or utilize the minutes through library purchases or imaging events
elsewhere around the globe, as set forth in the Agreement.

Pass Allocation and Deconfliction

In an effort to prevent minute allocation conflicts, it is DigitalGlobe’s intent to minimize the
number of overlapping communication cones as part of its service to ground station customers.
Nonetheless, the WorldView 2 Satellite’s large (5,000 km-wide) communication cone and customer
geographies inevitably dictate some overlap. As such, the following are the fundamental rules for
pass selection and minute allocation:

	 	1.	 	The minimum pass allocation is 3 minutes or the length of the pass (whichever is less).
This time includes the handoff of the satellite to the ground station at the beginning of
the collection window and leaving the satellite at nadir pointing at the end of the tasking
window.

DATA RECEPTION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Confidential

C-2

 

	 	2.	 	The maximum pass allocation is the entire length of the pass through a communications
cone. If more than one communication cone exists for a single customer and the cones
overlap, the entire length of the pass through both cones can be allocated.
	 
	 	3.	 	Standard pass selection is performed up to 3 days in advance of the first available
pass through a communications cone.
	 
	 	4.	 	Pass allocation must be reserved/purchased 3 days before the pass and coincides with
receipt of a formal confirmation from DigitalGlobe.
	 
	 	5.	 	Ground station customers must allocate a minimum of 80 percent and a maximum of 100
percent of their minutes per month for standard pass selection.
	 
	 	6.	 	The remaining minutes (0-20 percent) may be used for ad hoc tasking to support tactical
reconnaissance as required. A request to use minutes for such collects must be submitted no
less than 24 hours prior to pass allocation and is only valid if the selected window is
available (3-minute pass rule still applies).

When competing customer communication cones overlap, DigitalGlobe utilizes a mechanism to allocate
passes such that customer requirements are met in a fair manner. To accomplish this, DigitalGlobe
uses a priority ladder scheme (please see the section on ladder scenarios for more details). The
following general deconfliction rules apply:

	 	1.	 	In the event multiple ground station customers choose the same time slot on the same
pass during the standard pass selection process, DigitalGlobe utilizes the priority ladder
for determining who receives the collection window.
	 
	 	2.	 	DigitalGlobe works with each ground station customer to resolve competing requests,
providing information on available imaging blocks and adjusting requests in order to accept
a collection request when possible.
	 
	 	3.	 	Deconfliction rules do not apply for ad hoc requests as they are treated on a space
available, first-come-first-served basis. DigitalGlobe utilizes the date/time on the
incoming request (when it arrives at DigitalGlobe) to determine competing ad hoc requests.

Deconfliction Scenarios—The Priority Ladder

Priority Ladder—The priority ladder for overlapping customer communications cones has a set
number of spaces that can be filled, with additional spaces available for customers who attain
certain contract monetary commitment thresholds. These customers are rewarded with more
opportunities to secure passes when conflicts arise between different customer pass requests.
When a conflict occurs, the organization that is higher on the ladder “wins” the pass and then
moved to the bottom of the ladder for the next conflict resolution. Additional spaces on the
ladder ensure more opportunities to win pass conflict resolutions.

The following scenario illustrates how the priority ladder works for a simple two-cone overlap
where the conflict is always occurring between the top two contenders and DigitalGlobe in all
cases:

The following scenario illustrates how the priority ladder works for a three-cone overlap where
the conflict does not always occur between the top two contenders:

The following illustrates a full ladder for three competing communication cones where customer
commitment vary:

	 	 	 
	 	Customer A
	 
	 	Customer B
	 
	 	Customer C
	 
	 	DigitalGlobe
	 
	 	Customer A
	 
	 	Customer B

	 	DigitalGlobe
	 
	 	Customer A
	 
	 	Not Assigned
	 
	 	Not Assigned
	 
	 	Not Assigned
	 
	 

Customer A receives four slots by meeting the highest contract
threshold.

Customer B receives three slots by meeting a medium-level
commitment.

Customer C receives one slot by meeting a lower contract
threshold.

Tasking Procedures

For the WorldView 2 system, [***Redacted***] is able to task the satellite directly. However, since
DigitalGlobe is not making available a direct tasking capability for WorldView 1, if
[***Redacted***] chooses to accept direct downlink of WorldView 1 data, tasking is performed in a
coordinated manner

through DigitalGlobe, pursuant to the WorldView Direct Access Program
Specification to be provided by DigitalGlobe.

Direct Tasking

In this scenario [***Redacted***] hosts all planning and tasking activities for the allocated
window for a given WorldView 2 orbit. [***Redacted***] operations staff performs the necessary
planning activities and, using the uplink capabilities provided within the WorldView Ground
Station, generate the satellite tasking commands and transmit them to the satellite as it enters
the collection window. The DigitalGlobe Collection Planning and Space Operations departments ensure
that [***Redacted***] can gain access to the WorldView 2 Satellite at the beginning of the window.

	6.	 	Marks.

a. Ownership. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, Internet domain names, or
other words or symbols identifying the WorldView Products and QuickBird Products or the respective
party’s business (the “Marks”) are and will remain the exclusive property of that party, whether or
not specifically recognized or perfected under the laws of the Territory. Pursuant to the license
grants set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement, Partner will not acquire any right in the Marks,
except the limited use rights specified in Section 2. Partner will not register, directly or
indirectly, any trademark, service mark, trade name, company name, Internet domain name, or other
proprietary or commercial right that is identical or confusingly similar to the Marks or that
constitute translations thereof into the language(s) spoken within the Territory. Upon
DigitalGlobe’s request, and at its expense, DigitalGlobe will execute the instruments that may be
appropriate to register, maintain, or renew the registration of the Marks in the DigitalGlobe’s
name within the Territory.

b. Trademark Restrictions. DigitalGlobe may terminate the trademark license granted herein
if, in its reasonable discretion, the Partner’s use of the Marks tarnishes, blurs or dilutes the
quality associated with the Marks or the associated goodwill and such problem is not cured within
10 days of notice of breach; alternatively, instead of terminating the license in total,
DigitalGlobe may specify that certain Partner uses may not contain the Marks. Title to and
ownership of the owner’s Marks shall remain solely with DigitalGlobe. Partner shall use the Marks
exactly in the form provided and in conformance with any trademark usage policies. Partner shall
not take any action inconsistent with DigitalGlobe’s ownership of the Marks, and any benefits
accruing from use of such Marks shall automatically vest in DigitalGlobe.

c. Use. Partner will use the Marks exclusively to advertise and promote the WorldView
Products and QuickBird Products, and with respect to Partner, such advertising and promotion
activities shall remain exclusively within the Territory. All representations of DigitalGlobe’s
Marks that the Partner intends to use shall be exact copies of those used by DigitalGlobe or shall
first be submitted to DigitalGlobe for approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of
design, color, quality, presentation and other details. Once DigitalGlobe grants its approval,
DigitalGlobe shall not unreasonably withdraw its approval, and Partner will not be obligated to
seek further approval for substantially similar uses of the Mark. In addition, licensee shall fully
comply with all reasonable guidelines, if any, communicated by DigitalGlobe concerning the use of
DigitalGlobe’s Marks and Partner will not use the Marks in any manner that is misleading

d. Infringement. Partner will immediately notify DigitalGlobe if it learns (i) of any
potential infringement of the Marks by a third-party or (ii) that the use of the Marks within the
Territory may infringe the proprietary rights of a third-party. DigitalGlobe will determine the
steps to be taken under these circumstances. Partner will (i) provide DigitalGlobe with the
assistance that DigitalGlobe may reasonably request at DigitalGlobe’s expense and (ii) take no
steps on its own with respect to the Marks without the DigitalGlobe’s prior approval.

and other components meeting the requirements described in Appendix A (the “DAF System
Requirements”), and with the deliverables specified in Appendix B (the “Statement of Work”)
on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this DAF Purchase Agreement and in any
applicable export license provided for in Section 1.3(e). For any item of equipment listed in
Appendix B, DigitalGlobe may elect to substitute another item or items, subject to prior
written notice being given to the Customer, so long as the substitution does not adversely
affect the performance of the DAF, or increase the purchase price set forth in Article 7.
	 
	1.2	 	DAF Facility.

(a) Facility. At its own expense, the Customer and/or End-User will procure, prepare and
maintain the Hitachi Order Management System described in Appendix B (the “HOMS” or “Hitachi
Equipment”) and the physical facility (the “Facility”) to accommodate the DAF. DigitalGlobe
will provide Customer with a DAF Facility Requirements Specification as described in Table 2
of Appendix B. The Facility will be located in [***Redacted***], with associated antenna
and radio equipment located in [***Redacted***].

(b) Compliance. In connection with the purchase, construction, renovation or lease of the
Hitachi Equipment and the Facility, and the preparation of the Hitachi Equipment and the
Facility as required by this DAF Purchase Agreement, the Customer and/or End-User will, at
its own expense, obtain and maintain all necessary permits, and/or licenses and comply with
all laws applicable to the Customer and End-User.

(c) Frequency Registration. DigitalGlobe warrants that the emissions from the DAF to the
WV-1 and WV-2 satellites and the emissions from the WV-1 and WV-2 satellites to the DAF will
conform to the frequency assignments that are included in the advance publication
information (“API”) that DigitalGlobe has submitted or has prepared for submission to the
International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”) for the USASAT-30A satellite system by the
United States Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) in [March] 2007. DigitalGlobe ‘s
warranty pursuant to this Section 1.2(c) is subject to the condition that DigitalGlobe
receives authorization from the FCC to provide the specified emissions from the WV-1 and
WV-2 satellites, and to launch and operate the WV-1 and WV-2 satellites that are authorized
to receive the specified emissions from the DAF. DigitalGlobe hereby agrees that it shall
complete the ITU notification submission for the USASAT-30A system modification, and submit
the same to the FCC for transmission to the ITU, no later than six (6) months after the
USASAT-30A API is published in the ITU Radiocommunications Bureau International Frequency
Information Circular (“IFIC”). Furthermore, DigitalGlobe shall support the efforts by
Customer and/or End-User to obtain any necessary licenses for the DAF from [***Redacted***]
before the DAF starts its operation.

(d) Access. During the preparation of the Facility, the Customer will ensure that
DigitalGlobe and its Suppliers or other designees shall have sufficient access to the
Hitachi Equipment and the Facility, as specified in Table 9 of Appendix B, for purposes

 

 

of
inspection and verification of compliance with the Hitachi Equipment and Facility
specifications provided under this DAF Purchase Agreement and for the purpose of installing,
testing and maintaining the DAF. The Customer will cause the completed Hitachi Equipment
and the Facility to be ready for the delivery and installation of the
DAF no later than the pre-shipment review milestone (as stated in Appendix B) or a
mutually agreed date. For purposes of this DAF Purchase Agreement, “Supplier” means any
companies supplying the items to DigitalGlobe for the DAF.

	1.3	 	Title, Delivery, Installation and Related Matters.

(a) Title. Title to the DAF will pass to the Customer upon Acceptance of the DAF in
accordance with Section 6.2 below and final payment of the purchase price set forth in
Appendix D. Risk of loss of the DAF will pass to the Customer upon delivery of the DAF to
the End-User Facility.

(b) Delivery and Installation. The DAF will be shipped DDU (delivered duty unpaid) to
Customer or End-User Facility, as may be directed by Customer. Specifically, DigitalGlobe
will pay all costs of shipping the equipment to a port of entry in Japan and will arrange
for transportation to the Customer/End-User Facility once the DAF has cleared customs.
DigitalGlobe is not responsible for any duties, taxes, or other charges associated with
importing the DAF to Japan which costs shall remain the sole responsibility of the Customer
and/or End-User. Customer and DigitalGlobe will mutually determine the appropriate port of
entry. Provided that the Hitachi Equipment and the Facility has been prepared and made
available for installation purposes in accordance with Section 1.2, and provided all
necessary export and import authorizations have been obtained, installation of the DAF will
begin within ten (10) days following the DAF’s clearance of Japanese customs, as applicable,
and arrival at the Facility, or at a mutually agreed date. Customer will reimburse
DigitalGlobe for any additional transportation or storage expenses that DigitalGlobe incurs
due to delays or other unforseen problems in obtaining access to the Facility for purposes
of delivering and installing the DAF, except to the extent that such delays and problems are
caused exclusively by DigitalGlobe.

(c) Time of Performance

     (1) Delivery. The delivery of the DAF shall be performed in accordance with Appendix
D. DigitalGlobe shall deliver the DAF conforming to the requirements of this DAF Purchase
Agreement at such time, place and manner specified herein. The Parties agree that the
timely delivery of the DAF to the Customer is of the essence.

     (2) (2) Liquidated Damages. In the event that the DigitalGlobe WorldView-1 (“WV-1”)
satellite does not reach full operational capability (“FOC”) by [***Redacted***] such that
the downlink availability of the WV-1 satellite is delayed beyond [***Redacted***],
DigitalGlobe shall, subject to the cap set forth in Subsection 3 below, pay to Customer as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty an amount equal to [***Redacted***] of the total
purchase price for the DAF set forth in Appendix D. Said damages shall accrue following a
[***Redacted***] grace period (e.g., starting [***Redacted***]) for each day of delay beyond
June 30, 2008, until SAT is achieved, and shall be paid in arrears on a monthly basis on the
first day of each month. Customer shall not be entitled to liquidated damages in the event
the delay of SAT is caused or contributed to by Customer.

 

 

     (3) Cap; Exclusive Remedy. The maximum amount of liquidated damages payable by
DigitalGlobe hereunder shall be [***Redacted***]. Notwithstanding anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, the liquidated damages specified in this Section
1.3(c) shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by DigitalGlobe to
deliver the DAF according to the delivery schedule in Appendix D.

(d) Security. Beginning when the DAF arrives at the Facility, the Customer will take
adequate measures to ensure the safety and security of the DAF, including prevention of
unauthorized access to the Facility, and unauthorized connection of the equipment to the
web.

(e) Export Laws, Import Laws, Taxation and Assistance. Both parties shall comply with any
and all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the govermental authorities concerned.
DigitalGlobe shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all permits, licenses or
other approvals required under U.S. laws for the export of the DAF and Documentation (as
defined below) to Japan (the “Country”), and will pay any export duties and related taxes
and charges in connection with such exportation. The Customer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any permits, licenses or other approvals required under the
Country’s laws for the importation, installation and operation or use of the DAF and
Documentation, and will pay any import duties and related taxes and charges in connection
with such importation, installation and operation or use. The Customer will also provide to
DigitalGlobe and its Suppliers such reasonable assistance with local authorities as may be
required to facilitate the shipment, import, delivery and installation of the DAF and
Documentation, as well as the provision of training and other services at the Facility. To
the extent DigitalGlobe becomes subject to any Taxes because of its performance under this
DAF Purchase Agreement, the Customer will pay to DigitalGlobe an amount equal to such Taxes
promptly after DigitalGlobe’s submission to the Customer of appropriate supporting
documentation showing the Taxes due.

	1.4	 	Restrictions on Resale or Re-export. The DAF and Documentation as well as any other
items for which DigitalGlobe or any Supplier obtained an export-related permit or license from
the U.S. Government, may not be sold, leased or otherwise conveyed, delivered or made
available to a third party other than the End-User, or exported out of the Country, without
DigitalGlobe’s prior written approval and compliance with any applicable U.S. licenses or
permits.
	 
	1.5	 	Equipment Configuration. Customer will not modify the equipment configuration
without the express written consent of DigitalGlobe. Any unauthorized modification will void
any warranty in Article 8 or performance obligation of DigitalGlobe. Customer is responsible
for obtaining technical data from other satellite vendors to support any modifications.

or as otherwise set forth in writing by DigitalGlobe.

(d) Modification Prohibited. The Customer will not, and will ensure that the End-User does
not, modify, disassemble, or decompile the Software, or any portion of it, or attempt to
install or operate the Software other than on the DAF and in accordance with this DAF

 

 

Purchase Agreement. The Customer will, and will cause the End-User to, respect and not
remove, obliterate, or cancel from view any copyright, trademark or confidentiality notice,

ARTICLE 4

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

	4.1	 	Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a) Intellectual Property Developed by the Customer. The Customer will own the entire
right, title and interest in all intellectual property, including without limitation
proprietary information, trade secrets, information, data, designs and inventions developed
independently by the Customer without the aid of any DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual
Property (as defined below), and used in the performance of this DAF Purchase Agreement (the
“Customer Intellectual Property”), whether patentable or unpatentable.

(b) Intellectual Property Developed by DigitalGlobe and/or its Suppliers. DigitalGlobe
and/or its Suppliers, as appropriate, will own the entire right, title and interest in all
intellectual property, including without limitation proprietary information, trade secrets,
information, data, designs and inventions developed by DigitalGlobe

 

 

and/or its suppliers and
used in the performance of this DAF Purchase Agreement (the “DigitalGlobe/Supplier
Intellectual Property”), whether patentable or unpatentable.

	4.2	 	Intellectual Property License. DigitalGlobe hereby grants to the Customer, and with
the exception of permitted assignment to the End-User, a nonexclusive, non-transferable
royalty-free license (the “Intellectual Property License”) to use and sublicense End-User to
use the DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual Property reflected or embodied in the DAF,
Software, Documentation, information, training and other services
provided to the Customer and/or the End-User pursuant to this DAF Purchase Agreement solely
in the exercise of access rights to be provided under the Satellite Access Agreement. This
license is limited in scope to the operation of the DAF pursuant to this DAF Purchase
Agreement and does not include rights to any Supplier or DigitalGlobe trademarks, tradenames
or other intellectual property. The Intellectual Property License may be revoked after five
(5) business days of written notice by DigitalGlobe to the Customer, extendable at the
agreement of the parties, upon Customer’s failure to comply with the terms of this DAF
Purchase Agreement, the Satellite Access Agreement, or any governmental approvals or
licenses and such breach is not cured within five (5) business days of the written notice,
unless immediate revocation is required by the U.S. Government due to the breach. At such
time, if ever, as the breach is cured and satellite access is restored to the Customer, the
Intellectual Property License will be deemed reinstated. The price for the Intellectual
Property License is included in the purchase price in Appendix D.
	 
	4.3	 	Term. Unless otherwise revoked under Section 4.2 above, the Intellectual Property
License shall last for a ten (10) year term that begins on the date of Acceptance, but shall
be subject to termination if the DAF Purchase Agreement or Satellite Access Agreement are
terminated for default of the Customer and/or End-User.
	 
	4.4	 	Customer Covenants. The Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees, and will cause the
End-User to acknowledge and agree, that the DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual Property
constitutes and contains valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of DigitalGlobe
and its Suppliers, embodying substantial creative efforts and confidential information, ideas,
and expressions; and that the DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual Property is confidential and
proprietary to DigitalGlobe. Accordingly, the Customer agrees to adopt, and will cause the
End-User to adopt, measures adequate to (i) ensure that its directors, officers, employees,
agents, or any other party related to Customer or End-User, whether by contract or otherwise,
will not disclose DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual Property to other persons or legal
entities, and (ii) prevent unauthorized access to or use of the DigitalGlobe/Supplier
Intellectual Property. Neither the Customer nor End-User will duplicate or transfer the use
of all or any portion of the DigitalGlobe/Supplier Intellectual Property to any third party or
entity, without DigitalGlobe’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld for any
reason whatsoever. Upon termination of this DAF Purchase Agreement, all physical embodiments
of the DigitalGlobe and/or Supplier Intellectual Property and other proprietary information,
including but not limited to documents, data, designs and specifications will be promptly
returned to DigitalGlobe or destroyed pursuant to DigitalGlobe’s direction. To the extent
that the Customer and/or End-User need to retain certain documentation to comply with legal
obligations (e.g. tax audit or accounting audit), DigitalGlobe will use reasonable efforts to
work with the Customer to accomodate such a request.

accommodation within fifteen (15) days. If they fail to reach a mutually acceptable
accommodation within this fifteen (15) day period and if the parties cannot otherwise reach
a mutually acceptable accommodation, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in
accordance with Article 11.3 of this DAF Purchase Agreement. At such time as the
discrepancies are resolved, Acceptance will be deemed to occur on the date of the

its managers, directors, officers, agents, employees, suppliers and End-User from and
against all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, that Customer
and/or End-User incur(s) as a direct result of a third-party claim which, if true, would
constitute a breach of DigitalGlobe’s warranty in Section 8.1 (a) above (an “Infringement
Claim”) so long as: (i) the Customer promptly notifies DigitalGlobe in writing of the
Infringement Claim; (ii) DigitalGlobe or the relevant Supplier has sole control of the
settlement or defense of any action to which this indemnity relates; and (iii) the Customer
uses best commercial efforts and cooperates with DigitalGlobe in every reasonable way to

Hitachi Equipment to meet any of its specifications, DigitalGlobe shall provide
documentation that the DAF is performing according to the DAF System Specifications set
forth in Appendix A. If the parties are unable to agree on the cause of the discrepancy
within a thirty (30) day period, then both parties’ vice presidents shall discuss, in good
faith, issues in order to reach a mutually acceptable accommodation within fifteen (15)
days. If the parties fail to reach a mutually acceptable accommodation within this fifteen

	11.11	 	Future Assurances. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the other in obtaining required license, permits or other required approvals and
otherwise causing the transactions contemplated by this DAF Purchase Agreement to be effected
in accordance with its terms. Each party will sign and deliver any further certificates,

	11.12	 	Headings; Section References; Precedence. The headings of this DAF Purchase
Agreement are for convenience and are not to affect the interpretation of this DAF Purchase
Agreement. All references to Articles, Sections, Clauses or Appendices are, unless otherwise
specified, to the Articles, Sections, Clauses and Appendices of this

 

 

	 	 	DAF Purchase Agreement.
If there is any inconsistency between the body of this DAF Purchase Agreement and any Appendix
or related agreement or document, the body of this DAF Purchase Agreement will take
precedence.
	 
	11.13	 	Force Majeure.

(a) Generally. Performance under this DAF Purchase Agreement (other than the obligation to
pay money) is subject to events of force majeure, including, but not limited to: events
provided by applicable law, insurrections, riots, wars, explosions, acts of Government
Entities, strikes (except in connection with each party’s activities and operations), fires,
accidents, acts by terrorists or criminals, floods, inclement weather, epidemics,
Government-imposed quarantine restrictions, embargoes or any similar occurrence beyond the
reasonable control, and without fault or negligence, of the party affected. Force majeure
does not include the failure of the DAF to operate in accordance with the DAF System
Requirements, the remedies for which are provided in the Satellite Access Agreement. Force
majeure will not affect or excuse any obligation under this DAF Purchase Agreement to pay
money.

(b) Notice. If, because of an event of force majeure, either party is unable to carry out
any of its obligations (other than payment obligations as specified above) under this
DAF Purchase Agreement, that party (the “notifying party”) will promptly notify the other
party in writing and include an explanation of the event and its anticipated effects.

(c) Suspension. If an event of force majeure has occurred, and notice is given as provided
above, the obligations (other than payment obligations as specified above), of the notifying
party will be suspended to the extent, and for as long as, the force majeure prevents
performance. The party will, however, be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts
to eliminate the effects of the force majeure as fully and as quickly as possible (but this
obligation does not require it to accede to any third-party demands the notifying party
considers unreasonable). A party claiming an event of force majeure will promptly notify
the other party in writing of the termination of the effects of the event.

(d) Termination. If obligations under this DAF Purchase Agreement are suspended under
Section 11.13(c) for a period exceeding one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, and if
the cause of the suspension is reasonably deemed likely by either party to impair materially
and permanently the value to it of this DAF Purchase Agreement taken as a whole, either
party may terminate this DAF Purchase Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice.

	11.14	 	Third-Party Beneficiaries. All Suppliers of DigitalGlobe are hereby designated
express third-party beneficiaries of the Customer’s acknowledgments and covenants in Articles
2, 3, 4, and 8 of this DAF Purchase Agreement.
	 
	11.15	 	Expenses. Each party will be responsible for its own expenses incurred in
entering into and performing this DAF Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
hereunder, each party will be responsible for its own governmental filing fees and other
governmental charges payable in connection with its activities under this DAF Purchase
Agreement.
	 
	11.16	 	Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything else in this DAF Purchase Agreement to
the contrary, it is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this DAF Purchase

 

 

	 	 	Agreement that DigitalGlobe receives all required export and other U.S. Government approvals.

Each party has caused this DAF Purchase Agreement to be signed on its behalf by a duly authorized
representative.

	 	 	DigitalGlobe will have authority to review and accept the DAF implementation contract
deliverables produced by MDA. DigitalGlobe is responsible to MDA for obtaining any required
customer input for deliverable reviews.
	 
	 	 	This SOW identifies specifically the party who conducts each activity however DG maintains
responsibility to Customer for all activities under this SOW including those conducted by
MDA or other suppliers.
	 
	2.2	 	Description of Work
	 
	 	 	Under this WV DAF Purchase Agreement, DG will procure hardware, install software, integrate,
install, and test a DAF installation at the End-User facility that is operationally ready to
conduct the necessary activities under the Direct Access Program. Prior to its delivery,
the Standard DAF will be previously qualified by DG and MDA under a previous development
contract between DG and MDA. The Standard DAF constitutes all of the hardware components in
table 3 of section 2.2.7.2. The complete DAF functionality requirements are described in
Appendix A of the DAF Purchase Agreement. DG will be responsible for the overall program
including review, approval and acceptance of MDA work and for all work related to updates of
the existing WV Headquarters system to support this DAF implementation and its delivery to
the End-User.
	 
	 	 	MDA is responsible for conducting any engineering or development specific to this DAF
installation. Customer is responsible for any engineering or development for CFI items
specific to this DAF installation and Customer is responsible for all deliverables and
actions by the End-User. DigitalGlobe is responsible for any overall engineering and
development outside of the DAF to ensure the WV satellites, DigitalGlobe Headquarters, and
DAFs all work together in an operational state for the End-User.
	 
	 	 	A significant element of this DAF implementation is the addition of the CFI Hitachi Order
Management System (HOMS) into the DAF. Customer will design, build, and test the HOMS at
the Customer facility. The HOMS will be delivered to MDA prior to the DAF Factory

	 	 	Acceptance Test (FAT) for integration into the DAF. The HOMS becomes part of the DAF
starting with the DAF FAT. The HOMS components are listed in the Customer Furnished Items
table 9 of section 2.2.8 and in the HOMS requirements table 12 of section 4.
	 
	2.2.1	 	Schedule
	 
	 	 	This DAF implementation will consist of two primary delivery milestones relative to the
delivery of functionality for the WorldView-1 and WorldView-2 satellites. Delivery
milestone one will be the delivery of a DAF capable of operations with the WorldView-1
Satellite. Delivery milestone two will be the delivery of a software update to add in the
functionality for the WorldView-2 satellite. Table-1 provides a schedule of events required
to meet the operational readiness dates.
	 
	2.2.2	 	Implementation Project Activities
	 
	 	 	All implementation activities are divided into several phases in which defined tasks are
performed; defined outputs are produced and validated before proceeding to the next phase.
The following provides a description of each major phase of an implementation.
	 
	2.2.2.1	 	Implementation and Facility Planning Phase
	 
	 	 	This phase begins with a Kick-Off (KO) meeting at MDA’s facility to initiate the project
planning tasks including a review of End-User specific details, proposed schedule, and
facility requirements.
	 
	 	 	Project initiation tasks in this phase include developing the DAF Implementation Plan,
staffing the project, and identifying and surveying End-User furnished facilities and
equipment. A customer specific Facility Requirements Specification is finalized and
reviewed showing what elements are to be provided by Customer or the End-User.

Also during this phase MDA will begin the procurement of hardware and equipment on a
schedule consistent with the delivery of the DAF. Some long lead items may already be on
order in anticipation of this Implementation Task Order.
	 
	 	 	Implementation Plans, External Interface Control Documents (ICD) and Facility Requirements
will be presented for review and approval by DigitalGlobe and Customer at the Implementation
Plan Review (IPR) which will be held at the End-Users’ facility approximately one month
following the contract start.
	 
	2.2.2.2	 	Procurement Phase
	 
	 	 	All remaining Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware and software not already ordered is
placed on order during this phase by MDA. MDA will apply for any Canadian export permits,
license and insurance as required for this implementation. DigitalGlobe will also apply for
U.S. Government export permits, license and insurance as required for this implementation

	2.2.2.3	 	Hitachi Order Management System (HOMS) Development and Delivery
	 
	 	 	At the DAF KO, Customer provides preliminary technical information on their vision for the
Hitachi Order Management System (HOMS) to DigitalGlobe and MDA, for reference purposes.
Customer, DigitalGlobe and MDA will perform analysis of the HOMS requirements described in
section 4 and any additional requirements mutually agreed upon. At the DAF Implementation
Requirements Review (IRR), the HOMS requirements, including interfaces, are reviewed by
Customer, DigitalGlobe, and MDA and agreed upon.
	 
	 	 	Using the agreed-upon requirements, Customer will design the HOMS with close communication
with MDA and DigitalGlobe. At the DAF Implementation Design Review (IDR), the HOMS design
and the DAF design related to the HOMS integration shall be reviewed by Customer,
DigitalGlobe, and MDA and agreed upon. The HOMS Qualification Test Plan and updates to the
DAF Test Plan related to the HOMS integration shall also be reviewed and approved at this
meeting.
	 
	 	 	At the DAF Implementation Test Procedures Review (TPR), the HOMS Factory Qualification Test
Procedures and DAF Acceptance Test Procedures related to the integrated order management
(HOMS and OHS) functionality shall be reviewed by Customer, DigitalGlobe, and MDA.
	 
	 	 	After the HOMS development is complete, a HOMS Factory Qualification Test (FQT) is conducted
by Customer where the HOMS Factory Qualification Test Procedures are run to verify that this
CFI component meets the HOMS requirements. DigitalGlobe will accept the delivery of CFI
HOMS after the successful completion of the HOMS FQT and provide the CFI to MDA for
integration in the Standard DAF and the HOMS becomes part of the DAF as delivered under this
SOW.
	 
	2.2.2.4	 	Integration, Configuration and Pre-Shipment Phase
	 
	 	 	MDA will receive, inspect, and qualify all incoming materials and place them under
configuration management for the project, including the HOMS. MDA will conduct all factory
integration, configuration, and system test of the DAF implementation.
	 
	 	 	During this phase, the DAF Acceptance Test Plan and Procedures are presented at the interim
program management review held at the MDA facility. The test plan details Site Acceptance
Testing and forms the basis for FAT activity.
	 
	 	 	A pre-shipment DAF FAT will be conducted at the MDA facility to confirm system level
functionality. DAF functionality testing is limited to confirming high-level WorldView-1
system functionality against the pre-qualified Standard DAF design and specific testing
associated with non-standard requirements, including the new integrated order management
functionality (HOMS and the Order Handling System (OHS)). Some subcontractor supplied
systems, such as the antenna system upgrade, will be tested and qualified at the vendor
facility by the vendor and MDA.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

	 	 	Prior to shipping, Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) will be conducted at the MDA facility. The
results of the FAT will be reviewed including the validation of configuration reports and
the DAF documentation suite. Export Permits, Insurance and other legal and logistical
elements will be validated and confirmed to be in order. The readiness of the End-User
facility for the DAF installation and the readiness of Customer supplied CFI elements will
also be reviewed and validated. Ultimately a determination of the DAF readiness for
shipping and installation will be completed.
	 
	2.2.2.5	 	Shipping
	 
	 	 	MDA will coordinate all shipping activities including the coordination of subcontractor
shipments. Prior to shipping, all hardware and software components will be identified and
tagged by MDA’s Configuration Management process. This information is recorded in a System
Configuration Report and is updated as necessary at the Site Acceptance Test (SAT).
Following the SAT, the report is provided to Customer.
	 
	 	 	MDA is responsible for all Canadian export procedures and export permit processes and
DigitalGlobe is responsible for all U.S. Government export procedures and export permit
processes. Customer is responsible for all import paperwork, customs clearance, and local
delivery in their country.
	 
	 	 	All DAF systems, except the antenna system upgrade, will be air-freighted to the nearest
port of entry in the destination country. The antenna system supplier will handle all
packing and shipping of the antenna system upgrade directly from their facility to the port
of entry.
	 
	2.2.2.6	 	DAF Installation Phase
	 
	 	 	The antenna system upgrade and DAF system installations will generally occur in parallel,
but not necessarily so. The Antenna supplier will perform the installation and functional
testing of the antenna system at the End-User facility and MDA will perform all other DAF
system installation and testing which includes operational support for the WorldView-1
Satellite.
	 
	 	 	The Antenna System Upgrade Site Acceptance Test (ASAT) will be conducted by MDA and/or the
supplier. DigitalGlobe and Customer may elect to attend the test. The DAF System Site
Acceptance Test (SAT) will occur after the ASAT and when the DAF system installation is
complete. MDA will conduct the testing, which is witnessed by DigitalGlobe, Customer and
the End-User. Customer represents the End-User and provides acceptance to DigitalGlobe and
DigitalGlobe provides acceptance to MDA.
	 
	 	 	Prior to sending the full installation team to the End-User facility, MDA will confirm the
readiness of the facility for DAF installation. System installation begins with MDA
unpacking and having Customer and DigitalGlobe witness the inventory of all parts. MDA will
install and integrate all the components including integration with the antenna system and
the End-User’s computer network. MDA will conduct dry-run DAF Acceptance Test Procedures to
confirm readiness for the formal Site Acceptance Test.

	 	 	After installation is complete, Customer and/or the End-Customer will conduct an Initial
Check-Out Inspection with the attendance of DigitalGlobe and MDA. The check-out will be a
physical inspection of the DAF equipment installation for quality and compliance to end-user
facility construction requirements. With installation, dry-run testing, and Initial
Check-Out Inspection completed, a DAF SAT Test Readiness Review (TRR) will be conducted.
Customer, MDA and DigitalGlobe will make a determination of readiness for the DAF SAT.
	 
	 	 	DAF SAT will demonstrate to the End-User, Customer and DigitalGlobe that the DAF meets the
WorldView-1 functionality and performance requirements and can perform the operational modes
of the DAF, including the antenna system. DAF SAT testing will include tests executed with
live WorldView-1 data downlinks and end-to-end test sequences that validate the system as
operationally ready. Customer will represent the End-User during the DAF SAT, and Customer
will sign and issue the DAF Acceptance certificate to DigitalGlobe upon successful
completion of the DAF SAT and demonstration of the system meeting requirements.
DigitalGlobe will then provide acceptance to MDA.
	 
	2.2.2.7	 	WorldView-2 Functionality Update Phase
	 
	 	 	After the DAF has been installed and operational for the Worldview-1 satellite, DigitalGlobe
will complete the Worldview-2 (WV-2) functionality development and schedule the installation
of the WV-2 update on the DAF. It is anticipated that no hardware changes or additional
hardware equipment will be necessary. The WV-2 functionality update will be a software
installation on the previously installed DAF.
	 
	 	 	Prior to sending the software update and installation team to the End-User facility, MDA
will confirm the WV-2 functionality update has been completed and passed all factory
development testing and is ready for installation on the DAF.
	 
	 	 	Installation begins with MDA installing the software updates on the existing DAF. MDA will
conduct dry-run WV-2 Functionality Acceptance Test Procedures to confirm readiness for the
formal Site Acceptance Test.
	 
	 	 	After installation is complete, Customer, MDA and DigitalGlobe will make a determination of
readiness for the WV-2 SAT.
	 
	 	 	WV-2 SAT will demonstrate to the End-User, Customer and DigitalGlobe that the DAF meets the
functionality and performance requirements for Operations with the Worldview-2 satellite.
WV-2 SAT testing will include tests executed with live WorldView-2 data downlinks and
end-to-end test sequences that validate the system as operationally ready. Customer will
represent the End-User at the SAT tests, and will sign and issue the WV-2 DAF Update
