NOW THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and
in consideration of the grant of Options and of the mutual agreements contained
herein, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Issuance of New Option; Rollover
Option; Purchased Stock; Purchases of Additional Common Stock

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth and as set forth in the Option Plan, as of the Effective

terms of the 1997 Plan, as modified as described in the Rollover
Agreement.  The Management Stockholder
hereby agrees to retain the Rollover Option at the Stock Purchase Closing

of such Rollover Option by operation of the provisions of Section 1.04 of
the Transaction Agreement.

 

(c)           Pursuant to the terms of the Rollover
Agreement the Management Stockholder shall retain

such investment.

 

(f)            The “Effective Date” shall be
the date hereof.

 

2.             Management Stockholder’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

(a)           In addition to agreeing to the
restrictions on transfer of Stock (as defined in Section 3) set forth in
Sections 3 and 4, if the Management Stockholder is a Rule 405 Affiliate,
the Management Stockholder also agrees and acknowledges that he will not
transfer any shares of Stock unless:

 

2

 

(i) 
the transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect
thereunder (the “Act”), and in compliance with applicable provisions of
state securities laws; or

 

(ii) 
(A) counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that no
such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from
registration under the Act and (B) if the Management Stockholder is a
citizen or resident of any country other than the United States, or the
Management Stockholder desires to effect any transfer in any such country,
counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion
or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to
the effect that such transfer will comply with the securities laws of such
jurisdiction.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that any of the following transfers are deemed to be in
compliance with the Act and this Agreement (including without limitation any
restrictions or prohibitions herein) and no opinion of counsel is required in
connection therewith: (x) a transfer made pursuant to Section 3, 4,
5, 6 or 9 hereof, (y) a transfer upon the death or Permanent Disability of
the Management Stockholder to the Management Stockholder’s Estate or a transfer
to the executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or
beneficiaries of a person who has become a holder of Stock in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement; provided that it is expressly understood
that any such transferee shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement,
and (z) a transfer made after the Effective Date in compliance with the
federal securities laws to a Management Stockholder’s Trust, provided
that such transfer is made expressly subject to this Agreement and that the
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(b)           The certificate (or certificates)
representing the Stock shall bear the following legend:

 

“THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE,
ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF THE MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER’S AGREEMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 20,
2004 BETWEEN PANAMSAT CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE MANAGEMENT
STOCKHOLDER NAMED ON THE FACE HEREOF (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).”

 

(c)           The Management Stockholder
acknowledges that he has been advised that (i) a restrictive legend in the
form heretofore set forth shall be placed on the certificates representing the
Stock and (ii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the
Company indicating that the Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and
appropriate stop transfer restrictions will be issued to the Company’s transfer
agent with respect to the Stock.  If the
Management Stockholder is a Rule 405 Affiliate, the Management Stockholder
also acknowledges that (1) the Stock must be held indefinitely and the
Management Stockholder must continue to bear the economic risk of the
investment in the Stock unless it is

 

3

 

subsequently registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available, (2) when and if shares of
the Stock may be disposed of without registration in reliance on Rule 144
of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act, such disposition can be
made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of
such Rule and (3) if the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public
sale without registration will require compliance with some other exemption
under the Act.

 

(d)           If any shares of the Stock are to be
disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise, the
Management Stockholder shall promptly notify the Company of such intended
disposition and shall deliver to the Company at or prior to the time of such
disposition such documentation as the Company may reasonably request in
connection with such sale and, in the case of a disposition pursuant to
Rule 144, shall deliver to the Company an executed copy of any notice on
Form 144 required to be filed with the SEC.

 

(e)           The Management Stockholder agrees
that, if any shares of the Stock are offered to the public pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act (other than registration of
securities issued on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor or similar form), the
Management Stockholder will not effect any public sale or distribution of any
shares of the Stock not covered by such registration statement from the time of
the receipt of a notice from the Company that the Company has filed or
imminently intends to file such registration statement to, or within
180 days (or such shorter period as may be consented to by the managing
underwriter or underwriters) in the case of the initial Public Offering and
ninety (90) days (or in an underwritten offering such shorter period as
may be consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any) in the
case of any other Public Offering after, the effective date of such
registration statement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.

 

(f)            The Management Stockholder
represents and warrants that (i) with respect to the Stock, he has
received and reviewed the available information relating to the Stock,
including having received and reviewed the documents related thereto, certain
of which documents set forth the rights, preferences and restrictions relating
to the Options and the Stock underlying the Options and (ii) he has been
given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to
ask questions and receive answers about such information, the Company and the
business and prospects of the Company which he deems necessary to evaluate the
merits and risks related to his investment in the Stock and to verify the
information contained in the information received as indicated in this
Section 2(f), and he has relied solely on such information.

 

(g)           The Management Stockholder further
represents and warrants that (i) his financial condition is such that he
can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Stock for an indefinite
period of time and has adequate means for providing for his current needs and
personal contingencies, (ii) he can afford to suffer a complete loss of
his or her investment in the Stock, (iii) he understands and has taken
cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the Stock and
(iv) his knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are
such that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his purchase of
the Stock as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

3.             Transferability of Stock.  The Management Stockholder agrees that he
will not directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (any of the foregoing acts being referred
to herein as a “transfer”), at the time of exercise, any shares of the
Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of the Options

 

4

 

(“Option Stock”; together with any
other Purchased Stock and Common Stock otherwise acquired and/or held by the
Management Stockholder Entities, “Stock”) at any time during the period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Date; provided, however, that the Management
Stockholder may transfer shares of Stock during such time pursuant to one of
the following exceptions: (a) transfers permitted by Section 5 or 6;
(b) transfers permitted by clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a);
(c) a sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act filed by the Company, including without limitation a
sale pursuant to Section 9 (excluding any registration on Form S-8,
S-4 or any successor or similar form); (d) transfers permitted pursuant to
the Sale Participation Agreement (as defined in Section 7); or
(e) transfers permitted by the Board. 
No transfer of any such shares in violation hereof shall be made or
recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab
initio and of no effect.

 

4.             Right of First Refusal.  (a) 
If, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and
prior to the date of consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the
Management Stockholder receives a bona fide offer to purchase any or all of his
Stock (the “Third Party Offer”) from a third party (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any transfers pursuant to
clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a)) (the “Offeror”), which
the Management Stockholder wishes to accept, the Management Stockholder shall
cause the Third Party Offer to be reduced to writing and shall notify the
Company in writing of his wish to accept the Third Party Offer.  The Management Stockholder’s notice to the
Company shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company
(in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the price
contained in, and on the same terms and conditions of, the Third Party Offer,
and shall be accompanied by a copy of the Third Party Offer (which shall
identify the Offeror).  At any time
within fifteen (15) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of
the Management Stockholder’s notice, the Company shall have the right and
option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all (but not
less than all) of the shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer,
pursuant to Section 4(b).

 

(b)           The Company shall have the right and
option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all of the shares
of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer at the same price and on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the Third Party Offer (or, if
the Third Party Offer includes any consideration other than cash, then at the
sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in
good faith by the Company’s Board), by delivering a certified bank check or
checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire
transfer instructions) (and any such non-cash consideration to be paid) to the
Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery
of certificates or other instruments representing the shares of Stock so purchased,
appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder; provided that if
the Management Stockholder does not agree with the Board’s determination of
“equivalent all cash price”, the Management Stockholder shall have the right to
so notify the Company, the Company shall not have the right to purchase such
shares and the Management Stockholder shall not have any right to sell such
shares to a third party without initiating the process set forth in the first
sentence of Section 4(a).  If at
the end of the 15-day period, the Company has not tendered the purchase price
for such shares in the manner set forth above, the Management Stockholder may,
during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of
Stock covered by the Third Party Offer, to the Offeror on terms no less
favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the Third Party
Offer.  Promptly after such sale, the
Management Stockholder shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and
shall furnish such

 

5

 

evidence of the completion and time of
completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested
by the Company.  If, at the end of
sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 15-day period during which
the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management
Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares of the Stock as
aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in
this Agreement shall, to the extent applicable, again be in effect with respect
to such shares of the Stock.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

 

5.                                       The Management Stockholder’s
Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein,
if, prior to the later of the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and a
Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder is still in the employ of
the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) and the Management
Stockholder’s employment is terminated as a result of the death or Permanent
Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the applicable Management
Stockholder Entity, shall, for one year (the “Put Period”) following the
date of such termination for death or Permanent Disability, have the right to:

 

(i) 
With respect to the Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be
required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by
the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to
the Fair Market Value Per Share (the “Section 5 Repurchase Price”); and

 

(ii) 
With respect to any outstanding Options, sell to the Company, and the
Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the exercisable
Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an
amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 5
Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of
Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for
such payment.  In the event the
foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding
exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the
Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect
thereof.  In the event that the
Management Stockholder Entities do not exercise the foregoing rights, all
exercisable but unexercised Options shall terminate pursuant to the terms of
Section 3.2(b) of the Stock Option Agreement.  All unexercisable Options held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities shall terminate without payment immediately upon termination
of employment.

 

(b)           In the event the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to
Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written
notice to the Company, at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to
sell shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in
Section 5(a)(i) and/or to sell such Options in exchange for the payment
referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) and shall indicate the number of shares of
Stock to be sold and the number of Options to be sold with payment in respect
thereof (the “Redemption Notice”). 
The completion of the purchases shall take place at the principal office
of the Company on the tenth business day after the giving of the Redemption
Notice.  The applicable Repurchase Price
(including any payment with respect to

 

6

 

the Options as described above) shall be paid
by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified
bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of
the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to
the Company wire transfer instructions), against delivery of certificates or
other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents
cancelling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the
applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized
representative.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in
Section 5(a) to the contrary and subject to Section 10(a), if there
exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other
agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed
money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 5(a) would result in a
default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would not be permitted
under Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)
or would otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company reincorporates in
another state, the business corporation law of such state) (each such
occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to
repurchase any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities until the first business day which is ten (10)
calendar days after all of the foregoing Events have ceased to exist (the “Repurchase
Eligibility Date”); provided, however, that (i) the
number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase under this Section 5(c)
shall be that number of shares of Stock, and (ii) in the case of a
repurchase pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii), the number of Exercisable Option
Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price payable under this
Section 5(c) shall be the number of Exercisable Option Shares, in each
case as specified in the Redemption Notice and held by the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities at the time of delivery of the Redemption
Notice in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof.  All Options exercisable as of the date of a Redemption Notice, in
the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 5(a), shall continue to be
exercisable until the actual repurchase of such Options pursuant to such
Redemption Notice, provided that to the extent any Options are exercised
after the date of such Redemption Notice, the number of Exercisable Option
Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price shall be reduced
accordingly.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing and subject to Section 6(d), if an Event exists and is
continuing for ninety (90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall
be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice.

 

(d)           Effect of Change in Control.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
except for any payment obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to such
termination pursuant to this Section 5(d), this Section 5 shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control.

 

6.                                           The Company’s Option to Purchase
Stock and Options of Management Stockholder Upon Certain Terminations of
Employment.

 

(a)           Termination
for Cause by the Company, Termination by the Management Stockholder without
Good Reason and other Call Events. 
Except as otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment
with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated by the
Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) for Cause, (ii) the
Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (and/or, if
applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated by the Management Stockholder
without Good Reason, (iii) the

 

7

 

beneficiaries of a Management Stockholder’s
Trust shall include any person or entity other than the Management Stockholder,
his spouse (or ex-spouse) or his lineal descendants (including adopted
children) or (iv) the Management Stockholder shall otherwise effect a
transfer of any of the Stock other than as permitted in this Agreement (other
than as may be required by applicable law or an order of a court having
competent jurisdiction) after notice from the Company of such impermissible
transfer and a reasonable opportunity to cure such transfer (each, a “Section 6(a)
Call Event”):

 

(A)          With
respect to the Stock, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares
of the Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a
per share purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value
Per Share and (y) the Book Value Per Share (any such applicable repurchase
price, the “Section 6(a) Repurchase Price”); and

 

(B)           With
respect to the Options (other than the Rollover Options) if the event described
in clause 6(a)(i), (iii) or (iv) has occurred, all such Options (whether
or not then exercisable) held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities
will terminate immediately without payment in respect thereof; and

 

(C)           With respect to the Options if the
event described in clause 6(a)(ii) has occurred, the Company may purchase
all or any portion of the exercisable Options held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess,
if any, of the Section 6(a) Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise
Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall
be terminated in exchange for such payment. 
In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative
number, all outstanding exercisable stock options granted to the Management
Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any
payment in respect thereof.  In the
event that the Company does not exercise the foregoing rights, all exercisable
but unexercised Options shall terminate pursuant to the terms of
Section 3.2(f) of the Stock Option Agreement.  All unexercisable Options held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities shall also terminate without payment immediately upon
termination of employment.

 

(b)           Termination
without Cause by the Company, and Termination by the Management Stockholder
with Good Reason.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective
Date, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company
(and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated by the Company (and/or,
if applicable, its subsidiaries) without Cause, or (ii) the Management
Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its
subsidiaries) is terminated by the Management Stockholder with Good Reason,
(each, a “Section 6(b) Call Event”):

 

(A)          With
respect to the Stock, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares
of the Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a
per share purchase price equal to: (i) in the case of Option Stock, the
Book Value Per Share (or after a Public Offering, Market Value Per Share), or
(ii) in the case of any other Common Stock otherwise acquired and/or held
by the Management Stockholder Entities, the Fair Market Value Per Share; and

 

(B)           With
respect to the Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the
exercisable Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for
an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the price
equal to the

 

8

 

Book Value Per Share (or after a Public Offering, Market Value Per
Share) over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable
Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment.  In the event the foregoing Option Excess
Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable stock options
granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be
automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.  In the event that the Company does not
exercise the foregoing rights, all exercisable but unexercised Options shall
terminate pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2(d) or (e), as the case may
be, of the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything contained in the 1997 Plan or the applicable Rollover Option stock
option agreement to the contrary, in the event of termination of the Management
Stockholder’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Management
Stockholder with Good Reason, all exercisable but unexercised Rollover Options
shall terminate 10 years after the grant date.  All unexercisable Options held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities shall also terminate without payment immediately upon
termination of employment.

 

(c)           Termination
for Death or Disability. 
Except as otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date, the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company
(and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated as a result of the
death or Permanent Disability of the Management Stockholder (each a “Section 6(c)
Call Event”), then the Company may:

 

(A)          With
respect to the Stock, purchase all or any portion of the shares of Stock then
held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price
equal to the Fair Market Value Per Share; and

 

(B)           With
respect to the Options, purchase all or any portion of the exercisable Options
for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value Per Share over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number
of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for
such payment.  In the event the
foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding
exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the
Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect
thereof.  In the event that the Company

Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) entered into by
and among the Company and investors party thereto (the “Piggyback

amendments thereto to which the Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to
be bound), and, if any of the Investors is selling stock, whether or not before
the IPO Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), shall have all
of the rights and privileges of the Piggyback Registration Rights (including,
without limitation, the right to participate in a public offering and any
rights to indemnification and/or contribution from the Company and/or the
Investors), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original
party (other than the Company) to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to

that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request
registration under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement; and provided

Registration”).  If within
fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the Management Stockholder of such
Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock
held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be
irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management
Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided
in this Section 9; provided, however, that for each such
registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the
applicable 

 

16

 

Management Stockholder Entities, may be
submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities.

 

(c)           The maximum number of shares of Stock
which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of
(i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder
Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder
Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent
then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Stock being sold by the selling Investors and any
affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited
liability companies investing with the selling Investors and the denominator of
which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the selling Investors
and any investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies
investing with the selling Investors or (ii) the maximum number of shares
of Stock which the Company can register in the Proposed Registration without
adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters
(reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this
Section 9).

 

(d)           If a Proposed Registration involves
an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in
writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be
included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in
such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price,
timing or distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering
as contemplated by the Company, then the Company will include in the Proposed
Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes
to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock
requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such
managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to
above, the number of shares of Stock which the selling Investors and any
affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited
liability companies investing with the selling Investors, the Management
Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders (together, the “Holders”)
have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be
allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative
number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder (including upon
exercise of all exercisable Options) (provided that any shares thereby
allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be
reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

 

(e)           Upon delivering a Request the
Management Stockholder will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a
custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of
Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 9 (a “Custody Agreement
and Power of Attorney”).  The
Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that
the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the
custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to
the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank
by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as
the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the
Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably
request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 9.

 

10.           Pro Rata Repurchases; Dividends.  (a) 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5 or
6, if at any time consummation of any purchase or payment to be made by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Management Stockholders
Agreements would result in an Event, then the Company shall make purchases
from, and payments to, the Management Stockholder and Other Management
Stockholders pro rata (on the basis of the proportion of the number of shares
of Stock each such Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders
have elected or are required to sell to the Company) for the maximum number of
shares of Stock permitted without resulting in an Event (the “Maximum
Repurchase Amount”).  The provisions
of Section 5(c) and 6(e) shall apply in their entirety to payments and
repurchases with respect to shares of Stock which may not be made due to the
limits imposed by the Maximum Repurchase Amount under this
Section 10(a).  Until all of such
Stock is purchased and paid for by the Company, the Management Stockholder and
the Other Management Stockholders whose Stock is not purchased in accordance
with this Section 10(a) shall have priority, on a pro rata basis, over
other purchases of Stock by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and Other
Management Stockholders’ Agreements.

 

(b)           In the event any dividends are paid
with respect to the Stock, the Management Stockholder will be treated in the

Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder, and, with respect to any
Options held by the Management Stockholder, in accordance, as applicable, with
Section 2.4 of the Stock Option Agreement.

 

11.           Rights to Negotiate Repurchase
Price.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming
or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management
Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price,
as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not
at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist
which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management
Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms
of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or
acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such
purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior
approval of the Board.

 

12.           Covenant Regarding 83(b) Election.  Except as the Company may otherwise agree in
writing, the Management Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that he will
make an election provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.83-2 with
respect to the Stock, including without limitation, the Stock to be acquired
upon each exercise of the Management Stockholder’s Options and any grant of restricted
Stock; and Management Stockholder further covenants and agrees that he will
furnish the Company with copies of the forms of election the Management
Stockholder files within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, and
within thirty (30) days after each exercise of Management Stockholder’s
Options and with evidence that each such election has been filed in a timely
manner.

Management Stockholder shall notify the
Company as soon as practicable prior to any change in the identity of any

24.           Confidential Information; Covenant
Not to Compete.

 

(a)           In consideration of the Company
entering into this Agreement with the Management Stockholder, the Management
Stockholder hereby agrees effective as of the date of the Management
Stockholder’s commencement of employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries,
without the Company’s prior written consent, the Management Stockholder shall
not, directly or indirectly, (i) at any time during or after the
Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries,
disclose any Confidential Information pertaining to the business of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, except when required to perform his or her duties
to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, by law or judicial process; or
(ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the
Company or its Subsidiaries and for a period of eighteen months thereafter,
directly or indirectly (A) act as a proprietor, investor, director,
officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any
business that directly or indirectly competes with the business of
the Company in, (1) the sale or lease of, or the provision of satellite
services via transponder capacity on satellites operating in geostationary earth
orbit; or (2) the provision of telemetry, tracking and control services
for such satellites and for other satellites operating in geostationary earth
orbit or any of
their successors or any other satellite company or its satellite-related
affiliate, (B) solicit customers or clients of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to terminate their relationship with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any
business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) solicit or offer
employment to any person who has been employed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately
preceding the termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment.  If the Management Stockholder is bound by
any other agreement with the Company regarding the use or disclosure of
confidential information, the provisions of that agreement shall control with
respect to the use or disclosure of confidential information, and this Section
24(a) shall not apply.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding clause (a)
above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions stated in such
clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances
then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or
geographic area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such
court will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area.  Because the Management Stockholder’s
services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had access to
Confidential

 

21

 

Information, the parties hereto agree that
money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this
Agreement.  In the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns
may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive
relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof
(without the posting of a bond or other security).

 

(c)           In the event that the Management
Stockholder breaches any of the provisions of Section 24(a), in addition
to all other remedies that may be available to the Company, such Management
Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company any amounts actually paid
to him or her by the Company in respect of any repurchase by the Company of the
New Option or shares of Common Stock underlying the New Option held by such
Management Stockholder.

 

25.           Termination of Certain Provisions.

 

The provisions contained
in Section 4 and the portion of any other provision of this Agreement that
incorporates the provisions of Section 4, shall terminate, and be of no
further force or effect upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

[FORM OF]

 

SALE
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

 

August 20, 2004

 

To:         The Person whose name is 

set forth on the signature page hereof

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

You have entered into a Management
Stockholder’s Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between PanAmSat
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you (the “Management
Stockholder’s Agreement”) relating to the granting to you by the Company of
an Option (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) to purchase
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”).  The undersigned,
Constellation, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Constellation”),
Carlyle PanAmSat I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, Carlyle
PanAmSat II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (together, “Carlyle”),
PEP PAS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and PEOP PAS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (together, “Providence”, and
collectively with Constellation and Carlyle, the “Investors”) hereby
agree with you as follows, effective upon such grant of Option:

 

1.             In the event that
at any time one or more of the Investors (together with any of the affiliates
of such Investor or Investors, to the extent provided for in Paragraph 8 hereof,
the “Selling Investors”) proposes to sell for cash or any other
consideration any shares of Common Stock owned by it, in any transaction other
than a Public Offering (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement),
a public distribution pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended or a sale to an affiliate of the Selling Investors, the Selling
Investors will notify you or your Management Stockholder’s Estate or Management
Stockholder’s Trust (as such terms are defined in the Management Stockholder’s
Agreement, and collectively with you, the “Management Stockholder Entities”),
as the case may be, in writing (a “Notice”) of such proposed sale (a “Proposed
Sale”) and the material terms of the Proposed Sale as of the date of the
Notice (the “Material Terms”) promptly, and in any event not less than
15 days prior to the consummation of the Proposed Sale and not more than
five days after the execution of the definitive agreement relating to the
Proposed Sale, if any (the “Sale Agreement”).  If, within 10 days after the Management Stockholder
Entities’ receipt of such Notice, the Selling Investors receive from the
Management Stockholder Entities a written request (a “Request”) to
include Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities in the
Proposed Sale (which Request shall be irrevocable unless (a) there shall
be any substantive adverse change in the Material Terms or (b) if
otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder Entities,
and the Selling Investor), the Common Stock held by you will be so included to
the extent provided in Section 2 below; provided that only one Request, which
shall be executed by the Management Stockholder Entities, may be delivered with
respect to any Proposed Sale for Common Stock held by the Management
Stockholder Entities.  Promptly after
the execution of the Sale Agreement, the Selling Investors will furnish the
Management Stockholder Entities with a copy of the Sale Agreement, if any.

 

 

2.             (a)  The number of shares of Common Stock which
the Management Stockholder Entities will be permitted to include in a Proposed
Sale pursuant to a Management Stockholder Request will be the sum of the number
of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder Entities (and
held pursuant to the Management Stockholders Agreement) plus all shares
of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised
portion of the Option, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would
become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, multiplied
by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold in the Proposed Sale and
(y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock owned by all of the Investors, the Management Stockholder Entities
(including phantom shares owned through the Deferred Compensation Plan) and
other holders of shares of Common Stock who have been granted the same rights
granted to the Management Stockholder Entities to participate in the Proposed
Sale (an “Eligible Holder”) as the case may be.

 

(b)          If one or more
Eligible Holders elect not to include the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which such holders would have been permitted to include in a Proposed
Sale pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) (such non-included shares, the “Eligible
Shares”), then each of the Selling Investors, or the remaining Eligible
Holders, or any of them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale a number
of additional shares of their Common Stock equal to their pro rata portion of
the number of Eligible Shares, based on the relative number of shares of Common
Stock then held by each such holder plus all shares of Common Stock
which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of the
Option, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become
exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, and such
additional shares of Common Stock which any such holder or holders propose to
sell shall not be included in any calculation made pursuant to
Paragraph 2(a) for the purpose of determining the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities will be permitted to
include in a Proposed Sale.  The Selling
Investors, or any of them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale
additional shares of Common Stock owned by them equal to the number, if any, of
remaining Eligible Shares which will not be included in the Proposed Sale
pursuant to the foregoing.

 

3.             Except as may
otherwise be provided herein, shares of Common Stock subject to a Request will
be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto and in any agreements with
purchasers relating thereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions
applicable to the shares of Common Stock which the Selling Investors propose to
sell in the Proposed Sale.  Such terms
and conditions shall include, without limitation:  the pro rata reduction of the number of shares of Common Stock to
be sold by the Selling Investors, the Management Stockholder Entities and any
Eligible Holders to be included in the Proposed Sale if required by the party
proposing such Sale; the sale price; the payment of fees, commissions and
expenses; the provision of, and representation and warranty as to, information
reasonably requested by the Selling Investors covering matters regarding the
Management Stockholder Entities’ ownership of shares; and the provision of
requisite indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by
the Management Stockholder Entities shall be pro rata in proportion with the
number of shares of Common Stock to be sold.

 

4.             Upon delivering a
Request, the Management Stockholder Entities will, if requested by the Selling
Investors, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Selling Investors with
respect to the

 

2

 

shares of Common
Stock which are to be sold by the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant
hereto (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”).  The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney
will contain customary provisions and will provide, among other things, that
the Management Stockholder Entities will deliver to and deposit in custody with
the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates
(if such shares are certificated) representing such shares of Common Stock
(duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof) and
irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management
Stockholder Entities’ agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority
to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management
Stockholder Entities’ behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

 

5.             The Management
Stockholder Entities’ right pursuant hereto to participate in a Proposed Sale
shall be contingent on the Management Stockholder Entities’ strict compliance
with each of the provisions hereof and the Management Stockholder Entities’
respective willingness to execute such documents in connection therewith as may
be reasonably requested by the Selling Investors.

 

6.             (a) In the event of
a Proposed Sale pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof if the rights set forth in
Section 3.5 of the Stockholders Agreement of PanAmSat Corporation dated August
20, 2004 between the Company and the Investors are applicable, may elect, by so
specifying in the Notice, to require the Management Stockholder Entities to, and
the Management Stockholder Entities shall, participate in such Proposed Sale to
the same extent calculated pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) above, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof; provided, however,
that in such event, the order in which the shares of Common Stock held by the
Management Stockholder Entities shall be required to be sold shall be: first,
any shares of Common Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities;
and second, any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of any
exercisable Options.

 

(b)           In the event of a
transaction which results in a Change in Control (as defined in the Management
Stockholder’s Agreement) but is not a Proposed Sale in which an Investor has
exercised its rights pursuant to Section 6(a) or the Management Stockholder
Entities have exercised their rights pursuant to Section 1 (a “Proposed
Transaction”), you agree on behalf of the Management Stockholder Entities,
to bear your pro rata share, to the extent set forth in Paragraph 6(c) below,
of any fees, commissions, adjustments to purchase price, expenses or
indemnities borne by the relevant Selling Investors.

 

(c)           Your pro rata share
of any amount to be paid pursuant to Paragraph 3 or 6(b) shall be based
upon the number of shares of Common Stock intended to be transferred by the
Management Stockholder Entities plus the number of shares of Common Stock you
would have the right to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Option
which is then vested or would become vested as a result of the Proposed Sale or
Proposed Transaction, but only to the extent you participate in such sale.

 

7.             The obligations of
the Selling Investors hereunder shall extend only to the Management Stockholder
Entities, and none of the Management Stockholder Entities’ successors or
assigns shall have any rights pursuant hereto.

 

3

 

8.             If the Selling
Investors or any of them transfer any of their interests in the Company to an
affiliate of any of the Selling Investors, such affiliate shall assume the
obligations hereunder of the Selling Investors.

 

9.             This Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the fifth anniversary
of the first occurrence of a Public Offering (as defined in the Management
Stockholder’s Agreement).

 

10.           All notices and
other communications provided for herein shall be in writing.  Any notice or other communication hereunder
