strictly that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Restated Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employer-employee relationship, or promise of any future employment by FHLBA or any affiliate thereof,
including as to William H. Ott, Jr., a PEAC employee. PEAC is not the agent of FHLBA and is not authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of FHLBA except as specifically authorized by this Restated Agreement. PEAC and

	2.	Scope of Services 

 FHLBA hereby retains
PEAC’s services as a special consultant to the Board of Directors of FHLBA (the “Board”). Effective as of February 1, 2007, William H. Ott, Jr., as president of PEAC, shall serve and advise the Board by performing such of the
usual and customary duties of president and chief executive officer of FHLBA as may be requested by the Board while the Board conducts a search to identify a permanent president and chief executive officer, and until such permanent president and
chief executive officer is serving in such capacity (the “Services”). After a permanent president and chief executive officer is serving in such capacity, Mr. Ott will continue to serve and advise the Board, in its discretion, during
any appropriate transition period to be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Mr. Ott will report directly to the Chairman of the Board. During the term of this Restated Agreement, Mr. Ott shall devote as much of his productive time, energy
and abilities to the performance of the required services hereunder as is necessary, and agreeable to FHLBA, to perform the required services in a timely and productive manner. The parties further expect that Mr. Ott will conduct most of the
Services onsite at the principal office of FHLBA, although some work will be conducted at PEAC’s offices or offsite. Subject to Section 6 of this Restated Agreement and the Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement dated
December 1, 2006 between FHLBA and PEAC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), PEAC is free to perform services for other parties while performing services for FHLBA. PEAC and Mr. Ott agree to behave in a responsible and professional
manner at all times while performing services under this Restated Agreement.

its capacity under this Restated Agreement, including office space at FHLBA’s principal office and access to facsimile, telephone, computer and internet services at such location.

PEAC as of the date of notice; and (ii) to reimburse PEAC for any reasonable expenses incurred by PEAC in accordance with the provisions of this Restated Agreement governing such expenses, as of the date of such notice (collectively, the

limited to, PEAC’s provision of services to FHLBA under this Restated Agreement. PEAC also agrees that FHLBA may select counsel of its choice in the event of any claim or action, any threatened claim or threatened action, or lawsuit or

advanced or made payments hereunder, FHLBA shall reimburse them on request. 
  

	 	(c)	(i) FHLBA shall likewise defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PEAC and Mr. Ott from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, costs, fines, expenses, penalties and

lawsuit (a “Claim”) against PEAC or Mr. Ott individually, not naming any other directors or officers of FHLBA (regardless of whether or not FHLBA is named), based upon PEAC’s or Mr. Ott’s actions pursuant to this
Restated Agreement, FHLBA agrees that PEAC may select counsel of its choice in the event of any Claim against it or its employees including William H. Ott, Jr. in connection with services that PEAC has supplied pursuant to this Restated Agreement.
To the extent that the Claim is subject to the provisions of this paragraph (c)(ii), FHLBA further agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for PEAC within 30 days of the date PEAC or counsel for PEAC submits any request for
reimbursement of fees and/or expenses.

FHLBA has taken or failed to take were as a 

  

 - 4 - 

 
result of advice of PEAC or its employees, including Mr. Ott, to FHLBA, and either (i) such advice was grossly negligent, intentionally reckless,
part of a pattern of misconduct, or with willful disregard to the consequences to FHLBA or (ii) such advice represented ultra vires actions beyond the scope express and implied authorities of the president and CEO of FHLBA, no indemnification
shall be provided hereunder, and to the extent FHLBA has advanced or made payments hereunder, PEAC shall reimburse them on request. Further, FHLBA shall not be obligated to make, provide or reimburse any payments to PEAC or Mr. Ott under the
indemnification above to the extent that PEAC or Mr. Ott has admitted or assumed any liability, entered into any settlement agreement, stipulated to any judgment or incurred any fees or expenses associated with the defense of any claim, without
the express written consent of FHLBA, which consent of FHLBA shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (e) It is the
express intent of FHLBA that Mr. Ott be an “Executive” and thus an “Insured Person” solely for the purpose of claims covered by paragraph 9(c)(iii) and FHLBA’s insurance policies covering directors and officers and for
no other purposes, and that such insurance be available to him to the extent provided therein. Nothing contained in this paragraph or this Restated Agreement shall cause Mr. Ott to be considered an employee of FHLBA.

 EXHIBIT A 
  

	1.	GENERAL INDEMNITY. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 hereof, the FHLBA shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify PEAC and Mr. Ott to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Georgia and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, federal laws (including without limitation the Federal Home Loan FHLBA Act), as currently in effect or as they may hereafter be amended.

  

	2.	INSURANCE POLICIES. 

  

	 	(a)	In the reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors, the FHLBA may purchase and maintain, for its own benefit and for the benefit of PEAC and Mr. Ott, one or more
valid, binding and enforceable policy or policies of D&O Insurance. 

  

	 	(b)	In the reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors, but without limiting the full discretion of the Board of Directors to create or not create a fund or to otherwise
secure or not secure the FHLBA’s obligations under this Agreement, the Board of Directors may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not, be irrevocable or under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner
its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses to PEAC and Mr. Ott and to other officers and directors of the FHLBA, whether arising under or pursuant to this Agreement or any similar agreement or otherwise. PEAC and Mr. Ott shall be
intended beneficiaries of any such fund or arrangement. 

  

	3.	 ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 hereof, and in addition to the indemnity provided in Section 1
hereof, the FHLBA shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify PEAC and Mr. Ott in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether formal or informal and whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative (any of the foregoing being a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was acting in the capacity of chief executive officer of FHLBA, or is or was serving at the request of the FHLBA as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or as a member of any committee or council, from and against all costs, liabilities,
obligations, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
Proceeding, if PEAC and Mr. Ott conducted itself or himself in good faith and reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his capacity as consultant to the FHLBA or Mr. Ott’s service as interim chief executive officer as
provided herein, that such conduct was in the best interests of the FHLBA and that his conduct was within the scope of his duties as an officer or director of the FHLBA, (b) in the case of conduct while serving at the request of the FHLBA as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or as a member of any committee or council, that such conduct was at least
not opposed to the best interests of the FHLBA, and (c) in the case of any Proceeding that is a threatened, pending or completed criminal action, that such conduct was lawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea 

  

 - 9 - 

	 	 
of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that PEAC and Mr. Ott did not act in good faith or otherwise failed to
meet the relevant standard of conduct set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the preceding sentence. 

  

	4.	LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNITY. 

 No indemnity pursuant
to Section 1 or Section 3 of this Agreement or pursuant to the Bylaw shall be made by the FHLBA: 
  

	 	(a)	to the extent it would reduce or eliminate any payments to the FHLBA or to PEAC and Mr. Ott under any D&O Insurance; 

  

	 	(b)	to the extent of any liability for which PEAC and Mr. Ott is paid pursuant to any D&O Insurance; 

  

	 	(c)	if a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnity is not lawful; 

  

	 	(d)	in respect to remuneration paid to PEAC and Mr. Ott if a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
remuneration was not lawful; 

  

	 	(e)	in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the FHLBA, except for reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such Proceeding if it
is determined that PEAC and Mr. Ott has met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(f)	for acts or omissions that involve fraud, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law by PEAC or Mr. Ott; 

  

	 	(g)	for any conduct for which PEAC or Mr. Ott is adjudged liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit; or 

  

	 	(h)	for actions by the Federal Housing Finance Board against PEAC or Mr. Ott that result in an order, penalty or settlement adverse to PEAC or Mr. Ott.

  

	5.	NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIM. 

  

	 	(a)	Promptly after receipt by PEAC or Mr. Ott of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, PEAC and Mr. Ott will, if a claim in respect thereto is to be made against the
FHLBA under this Agreement, notify the FHLBA of the commencement thereof. Such notification shall include all documents and other information necessary for the FHLBA to determine whether PEAC and Mr. Ott are entitled to indemnification and
reasonably available to PEAC and Mr. Ott. The failure so to notify the FHLBA will not relieve the FHLBA from any liability except to the extent that the FHLBA is prejudiced by such failure, nor will the failure to so notify the FHLBA relieve
the FHLBA from any liability which it may have to PEAC or Mr. Ott otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which PEAC and Mr. Ott so notify the FHLBA: 

  

	 	(1)	the FHLBA will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and 

  

 - 10 - 

	 	(2)	except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the FHLBA may assume the defense thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	After notice from the FHLBA to PEAC and Mr. Ott of its election to assume the defense thereof, the FHLBA will not be liable to PEAC or Mr. Ott under this Agreement or
otherwise for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by PEAC or Mr. Ott in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. PEAC and Mr. Ott shall have the right to
employ counsel of its or his choosing in such Proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the FHLBA of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of PEAC and Mr. Ott unless (i) the
employment of counsel by PEAC and Mr. Ott has been authorized in writing by the FHLBA, (ii) the FHLBA and PEAC and Mr. Ott shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the FHLBA and PEAC and
Mr. Ott in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the FHLBA shall have failed or refused to employ counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of PEAC and
Mr. Ott’s counsel shall be paid by the FHLBA. 

  

	 	(c)	The FHLBA shall not be liable to PEAC and Mr. Ott under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding without its prior written consent. The FHLBA shall
not settle any such Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on PEAC and Mr. Ott without PEAC and Mr. Ott’s prior written consent. Neither the FHLBA nor PEAC and Mr. Ott will unreasonably withhold his
or its consent to any proposed settlement. 

  

	 	(d)	If the FHLBA and PEAC and Mr. Ott employ the same legal counsel in connection with a Proceeding and there develops a conflict of interest between the FHLBA, on the one hand,
and PEAC and Mr. Ott, on the other, in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, then PEAC and Mr. Ott agree to employ different counsel (the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the FHLBA if such fees and expenses are
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement) and to take all actions reasonably necessary to allow the FHLBA to continue to employ the counsel employed by both the FHLBA and PEAC and Mr. Ott prior to such conflict arising.

  

	6.	PREPAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Unless PEAC and Mr. Ott otherwise elect, expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding will be paid by the FHLBA in advance of the final
disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written agreement from PEAC and Mr. Ott in form and substance satisfactory to the FHLBA (i) affirming that PEAC and Mr. Ott conducted itself and himself in good faith and PEAC and
Mr. Ott’s good faith belief that its and his conduct met the relevant standard set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 3 of this Agreement, and (ii) agreeing to repay any advances if it shall be ultimately
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the FHLBA under this Agreement. 

  

 - 11 - 

	7.	DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Following notification by PEAC and Mr. Ott to the FHLBA of the commencement of a Proceeding pursuant to
Section 5(a) of this Agreement, the determination of whether PEAC and Mr. Ott are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the following person or persons: (a) if there are two or more Disinterested
Directors (as defined below), then at the FHLBA’s option, and with notice to PEAC and Mr. Ott of the method for determination chosen by the FHLBA, (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of all of the Disinterested Directors
(a majority of whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum), (ii) by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more Disinterested Directors appointed by a vote described in the preceding clause (i), or (iii) by special legal
counsel selected in the manner described in the preceding clause (i); or (b) if there are fewer than two Disinterested Directors, by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors (in which selection directors who do not qualify as
Disinterested Directors may participate). “Disinterested Director” means a member of the Board of Directors who both (i) is not a party to the Proceeding giving rise to the indemnification claim and (ii) does not

Article 11 or elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	11.2	Postponements requested by CUSTOMER 

  

	 	11.2.1	 CUSTOMER shall have the right for any reason whatsoever to postpone the Launch Period and, once determined, the Launch Slot or the Launch Day. The CUSTOMER's
written notice for postponement shall indicate the new requested (i) Launch Period, or (ii) Launch Slot, or (ii) Launch Day, as the case may be. For the avoidance of any doubt, CUSTOMER’s existing Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Day (as applicable) shall not be relinquished until CUSTOMER has agreed to the new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Day (as applicable) pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 11.2. 

  

	 	11.2.1.1	 If the CUSTOMER's written request relates to a Launch Period or a Launch Slot postponement, within TWO (2) weeks of receipt of such request, ARIANESPACE

	 	c)	 In the event that the Launch does not occur on or prior to [***], and ARIANESPACE is requested to perform replacement launch(es), or to launch scientific
satellite(s) whose mission(s) may be degraded in the event of postponement, where such launch(es) occur after [***]. 

  

	 	d)	 ARIANESPACE postpones the launch(es) due to postponement(s) by ARIANESPACE of satellite(s) having an earlier Launch Period or Launch Slot than CUSTOMER's
Satellite(s). 

  

	 	11.3.2	 In the case of a postponement pursuant to Sub paragraphs 11.3.1.1(a), (c) and/or (d), the Parties shall determine by mutual agreement a new Launch Period
and/or a new Launch Slot as near as possible to the postponed one in accordance with and maintaining the launch rank of Customer's Satellite; 

  

	 	  	 The Launch Day and the Launch Window within the new Launch Slot shall be determined by ARIANESPACE according to the technical constraints of ARIANESPACE,

CUSTOMER and the Third Party Customer(s) of ARIANESPACE, and their respective interests.

under this Agreement making the Launch impossible within the Launch Period, Launch Slot, or during Launch Window of the Launch Day, or at the Launch Time shall be considered to be requested by CUSTOMER in accordance with Paragraph 11.2 above as of
the date of ARIANESPACE's decision to postpone the Launch. 

  

	11.4	 Any Launch postponement requested by ARIANESPACE pursuant to Paragraph 11.3 of this Article 11 shall only occur as a last resort and following the reasonable
commercial efforts of ARIANESPACE to avoid and mitigate such postponement as may be necessary for the reasons set forth in Sub-paragraph 11.3.1.1 of this Article 11.

 ANNEX 2 
  
  
 E.S.A./ARIANESPACE Convention (Extract) 
  
  
  
 Certain
European Governments, members of the European Space Agency, (hereinafter referred to as “the Participants”) have committed themselves to using the Ariane Launcher, developed within the framework of the European Space Agency programmes.
Arianespace must provide the European Space Agency and the Participants, as a priority, with the services and launch slots necessary for their programmes. Arianespace must also make sure that in the event of a shift in the launch slots caused by the
launcher system and/or any of the technical equipment which has to be used for the launch, the payload concerned of the Agency or Participant retains its position in the launch schedule. In addition, in the event of the failure of an Agency or
Participant mission, the Agency or Participant may ask Arianespace to provide them, for a new launch, with the first or failing that the second launch slot compatible with the availability of the replacement payload if the failure was due to the
launch system and/or any of the technical equipment used for the launch, and the first compatible slot or failing that the first slot scheduled at the latest 10 months after the written relaunch request if the failure was due to the payload itself.
Finally, Arianespace has committed itself to the Agency and to the Participants to pay particular attention to the specific requirements imposed by scientific missions.
