FIRST AMENDMENT TO ORBCOMM GENERATION 2 PROCUREMENT

AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to ORBCOMM Generation 2 Procurement Agreement (“Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of the 23rd day of August, 2011, by and between ORBCOMM Inc, a Delaware corporation
(“ORBCOMM”) with offices located at 22265 Pacific Boulevard, Dulles, VA 20166 and SIERRA NEVADA
CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation with offices located at 444 Salomon Circle, Sparks, NV 89434
(“SNC” or “SUPPLIER”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, ORBCOMM and SNC entered into that certain ORBCOMM Generation 2 Procurement Agreement
dated as of May 5, 2008, and subsequently entered into five (5) Separate Task Orders, dated as of
May 20, 2010 (“Task Order #1”), August 31, 2010 (Task Orders #2 and #3), and December 15, 2010
(Task Orders #4 and #5) (collectively, including all referenced Exhibits thereto, the “Agreement”);
and

WHEREAS, ORBCOMM and SNC each desire to amend the Agreement, as reflected herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and
other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE 1 —  DEFINITIONS

Except as otherwise specifically defined herein, capitalized terms in this Amendment have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

ARTICLE 2 —  REDEFINED SHIPSETS, REVISED MILESTONES AND MILESTONE PAYMENTS

2.1. Shipsets for Initial Order. The second sentence of the defined term “Shipset” is
revised to read as follows: “For the Initial Order of eighteen (18) Flight Satellites, subject to
Sections 2.5 and 3.2, the first Shipset (the “Initial Shipset”) shall have one (1) Flight Satellite
and the second Shipset shall have nine (9) Flight Satellites, and the third Shipset shall have
eight (8) Flight Satellites.”

 

 

 

2.2. Delivery, Completion of Pre-Shipment Reviews. The second sentence of Section
3.1(a) of the Agreement is revised to read as follows: “The Pre-Shipment Review shall be
Successfully Completed: (i) for the first Flight Satellite in time to deliver, test and integrate
the first Flight Satellite with the Falcon 9 Launch Vehicle currently expected to Launch on
November 30, 2011 (the “F9 COTS Mission”); (ii) for the next Shipset of nine (9) Flight Satellites
out of the Initial Order no later than September 15, 2012; and (iii) for the last Shipset of eight
(8) Flight Satellites out of the Initial Order no later than April 30, 2013.” The number of
Satellites in each Shipset may be adjusted by ORBCOMM in accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement
and in such event the parties will negotiate in good faith any consequential adjustments on
Milestone payments, delivery schedule, or any other contractual items affected by the change in
Satellite allocations per Shipset in accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement.

2.3. Pre-Shipment Reviews independent of Launch Vehicle availability. An additional
sentence is added to the end of Section 7.3.7 of the SOW, reading as follows: [* * *]

2.4 Special Provisions Relating to First Shipset. A new Section 3.2 is added to the
Agreement, as follows:

“Section 3.2 — Special Provisions Relating to First Shipset.

	 	(a)	 	SNC shall dedicate its efforts to launch the first
Flight Satellite (as defined in the engineering deviations approved by
ORBCOMM) on the F9 COTS Mission.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the launch window for the F9 COTS Mission should
slip far enough into the future to allow completion and shipment of a
second Flight Satellite in time to make the Launch, SNC shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to work with ORBCOMM to support the
Launch of the second Flight Satellite on the F9 COTS Mission as provided
for in this Amendment, in which event the second Shipset would have eight
(8) Flight Satellites and the Milestone descriptions in the Milestone
Payment Schedule shall be revised accordingly.
	 
	 	(c)	 	SNC shall implement the “F9 COTS Launch Action
Plan,” as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Subject to the terms and conditions of Task Order
#2, tasks thereunder for the F9 COTS Mission shall be authorized in
increments of not less than $500,000.

2.5 Revised Milestone Schedule.

Section 5.1(a) of the Agreement is revised to read as follows:

ARTICLE 3 —  PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS FOR DELAY

3.1 Triggered LD’s. This Amendment notwithstanding, liquidated delay damages under
the current Agreement (based on the PSR scheduled completion dates existing prior to this
Amendment) in the amount of U.S. $[* * *] shall survive and may be applied by ORBCOMM in its
discretion in any combination as credits against future SNC invoices for Milestone payments, task
order payments, storage costs, and/or interest payments (if applicable).

3.2 Non-Triggered LD’s. SNC shall be at risk under Section 5.2(a) of the Agreement,
as revised by this Amendment, for up to an additional U.S. $[* * *] for delays with respect to the
Initial Order (the “Non-Triggered LD’s”). Clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of Section 5.2(a) of the
Agreement are hereby revised to read as follows, as applicable to the Non-Triggered LD’s:

	 	“(i)	 	No additional payment adjustments for delay shall apply
for Shipset #1 delay in PSR; provided that, if the PSR for the first
Satellite is not completed in time to deliver, test and integrate the
first Satellite with the F9 COTS Mission, the “SC1 Pre-Shipment Review
(PSR)” Milestone [* * *] payment shall be reduced by
	 
	 	 	 	[* * *]% ($[* * *]) and the amount of such reduction shall instead be paid
by ORBCOMM upon the Successful Completion of “SC 2-10 Pre-shipment Review
(PSR)” Milestone [* * *];
	 
	 	(ii)	 	U.S. $[* * *] per day (starting with one hundred and
twenty-first (121st) day) per Shipset #2 delay in PSR, up to
U.S. $[* * *];
	 
	 	(iii)	 	U.S. $[* * *] per day (starting with sixty-first (61st)
day) per Shipset #3 delay in PSR, up to U.S. $[* * *]; and”

 

 

 

ARTICLE 4 — OPTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL SPACECRAFT

Pricing for ORBCOMM options for Optional Satellites in the current contract have expired.
Both parties desire an ongoing mechanism in addition to Article 9 of the Agreement to provide
ORBCOMM with pricing for Optional Satellites. SNC shall provide to ORBCOMM a binding proposal
within three (3) months after receipt of a written request for proposal (“RFP”) from ORBCOMM that
defines technical and contractual requirements for such Optional Satellites. This proposal shall
be either cost plus fixed fee (“CPFF”) or firm fixed price (“FFP”) as specified in the RFP. For a
CPFF proposal, SNC shall provide full cost visibility including payload pricing. The basis of
estimates for costs shall be included (for example, quotes for purchased materials).

ARTICLE 5 — INSURANCE

This Amendment has provisions for Milestone payments to SNC for one year Successful Operation
of the Satellites (Milestones [* * *] through [* * *] as set forth in Section 2.5 above). There is
no provision for insurance payments to protect SNC for loss of Milestone payments due to Launch
Vehicle failure or other causes of failure unrelated to Satellite performance (“Insurable Event”).
ORBCOMM shall provide a price quote from its insurance carrier(s) to add coverage to its policy to
protect SNC for the value of such Launch-dependent Milestones. SNC shall, at its option, pay the
additional premium associated with the value increase specifically for this coverage. If SNC does
pay this additional premium, ORBCOMM shall request its insurers to add SNC as an additional-insured
on the insurance policy and include direction for the insurance carrier(s) to make the loss
payments directly to SNC for the relevant on-orbit operation Milestones that were not achieved as a
result of the Insurable Event.

ARTICLE 6 — REQUEST FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT CLAIM

SNC has informed ORBCOMM that [* * *] has made a request for equitable adjustment claim (“[* *
*] Claim”) for additional incurred costs on the first two payload deliveries. SNC hereby releases
and holds ORBCOMM harmless from any and all costs claimed by SNC, [* * *], and/or [* * *] as
documented or requested in the [* * *] Claim. SNC shall demonstrate to ORBCOMM that similar changes
as made in Articles 3, 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) of this Amendment have been flowed directly to [* * *]
under its subcontract with SNC.

 

 

 

ARTICLE 7 — OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS CHANGES

The following additional changes are made to the Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	The last two sentences of Section 7.4 of the Agreement are revised to read as
follows: “SNC shall bear the costs to eliminate or ameliorate the effects of such
failure until [* * *], unless the failure was caused by ORBCOMM’s acts or omissions in
operating such Satellite (not including operation by ORBCOMM in accordance with manuals
or directions provided by SNC) as demonstrated by flight data telemetry or other
objective evidence. Post-IOT support provided later than [* * *] or before that time
if the failure was caused by ORBCOMM’s acts or omissions in operating such Satellite
(not including operation by ORBCOMM in accordance with manuals or directions provided
by SNC) as demonstrated by flight data telemetry or other objective evidence shall, if
requested in writing by ORBCOMM, be provided on a Cost basis.”
	 
	 	(b)	 	An additional sentence is added to the end of Section 11.2 of the Agreement,
reading as follows: “Indemnification for third party liability shall not exceed the
“Total Price for the Satellites Ordered,” defined herein as the total Price of the
Initial Order plus any executed options for Optional Satellites, but not including the
price of any Task Orders added to the Agreement (including Task Orders #1 through #5).”
	 
	 	(c)	 	An additional sentence is added to the end of Section 4.3 of the Agreement,
reading as follows: “The parties shall agree to make reasonable changes to this
Agreement, such as modifying the place of delivery and/or delaying the passage of
title, as SNC may request in writing, to improve tax efficiencies with respect to any
Transfer Taxes, provided that any such change shall be economically neutral to
ORBCOMM.”
	 
	 	(d)	 	The grace period in Section 12.1(b)(i)(a) of the Agreement shall be increased
from [* * *] to [* * *] solely for Milestones 15 through 24.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The first sentence of Article 8A of the Agreement is revised to read as
follows: “ORBCOMM agrees that SNC retains a purchase money security interest in each
Satellite sold by SNC to ORBCOMM and to any sale proceeds thereof, until the following
Milestones have been paid or have been otherwise discharged: (a) for Shipset #1 at
Milestone [* * *] (SC 1 Pre-Shipment Review); (b) for Shipset #2 at Milestone [* * *]
(SC 2-10 Pre-Shipment Review); (c) for Shipset #3 at Milestone [* * *] (SC 11-18
Pre-Shipment Review); and (d) for any Optional Satellite, at PSR, in each case at which
time any security interest shall be deemed released and discharged without any further
action required.”
