of Article 13 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Rights in Intellectual Property, and Article 37 hereof, entitled Confidentiality.

 

B.    The Contractor shall provide for review meetings with Inmarsat, and
submit reports and documentation, in accordance with Annex A hereto, entitled Statement of Work.  Any approvals granted by Inmarsat at a
design review or other review meetings, or with respect to  any documentation, shall not relieve the Contractor from
responsibility and shall be without prejudice to Inmarsat’s rights under this
Contract in the event that any deliverable items do not satisfy the
requirements of this Contract.

 

C.    Inmarsat shall have the right, at all reasonable times during the
performance of this Contract, subject to reasonable notice to the Contractor
and to any applicable security regulations of the Contractor and its
Subcontractors, to monitor the Work in progress at the plants of the Contractor
and its Subcontractors or other relevant locations, including, but without
limitation to:

 

1.     Access to all

testing of all deliverable equipment, including development tests used for the
purpose of demonstrating qualification.

 

D.    If Inmarsat determines that any of the Work will not conform to the
requirements of this Contract, Inmarsat shall promptly notify the Contractor of
the particulars, and the Contractor shall promptly make the necessary
corrections at its own cost.  The
decision as to how to make the corrections shall be in the Contractor’s
discretion, but shall require consultation with Inmarsat.  If the Contractor fails to make such
corrections promptly, and to Inmarsat’s satisfaction, the remedies in Paragraph
C of Article 24 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Other Remedies for Breach, shall apply. 
Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Contractor from its
obligation to comply with the delivery schedule referred to in Article 4
hereof, entitled Performance

Inmarsat to detect deficiencies while monitoring and inspecting Work in
progress shall be without prejudice to Inmarsat’s right to notify the

data relating thereto shall, upon Inmarsat’s request and at Inmarsat’s
election, be made available for inspection and copying at the plants of the
Contractor and its Subcontractors, or be provided to Inmarsat.  With respect to any such documentation and
data other than Deliverable Data, the reasonable costs of copying or delivery
shall be reimbursed by Inmarsat.  For a
period of three (3) years after termination or expiration of this Contract, to  the extent that such documentation and
data is of a type normally retained by the

continue to be available under the same terms and conditions.

 

F.     The provisions of this Article shall also apply to the design,
manufacturing, and test history of other programmes in the heritage of the
Spacecraft, EXCEPT to the extent that any of these provisions would violate
contracts between the Contractor or its Subcontractors and the customers of
such other programmes.

 

G.    Subject to reasonable arrangements to ensure confidential treatment
of proprietary information and to the provision below, the same rights of
access granted to Inmarsat in this Article shall be granted to any technical
consultants working for Inmarsat in connection with this Contract or projects
related to  the Work, and to the
technical consultants of any entities providing, or working with Inmarsat to
obtain, insurance or external financing of the Spacecraft or associated Launch
services (“Inmarsat Consultants”).

 

H.    Inmarsat shall submit to the Contractor the individual names of any
proposed Inmarsat Consultants who require access to any premises and/or to any
of the Contractor’s or its Subcontractors’ proprietary information and the
Contractor shall have the right to approve such access for such Consultants.
The Contractor shall approve or disapprove of any such individual names
submitted by Inmarsat for such access within two (2) days of Inmarsat’s
submission. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Contractor
unless such Consultants are employed or are contracted to provide services to
another spacecraft manufacturer.  In the
event the Contractor disapproves of a proposed Inmarsat Consultant, the
Contractor shall as soon as practicable provide Inmarsat with an oral or
written explanation.

 

I.      The Contractor will pass through to its Key Subcontractors the
provisions of this Article.  Where
practical such provisions shall be passed through in the same form but the
Contractor may vary the wording of the same provided that Inmarsat’s rights are
fully secured thereby.

 

J.     The Contractor will use all reasonable efforts to pass through to
Subcontractors other than the Key Subcontractors the provisions of this
Article.  In any case where the
Contractor is unable to pass through the provisions of this Article to a
Subcontractor other than a Key Subcontractor, Inmarsat’s rights of access shall
be no less than the Contractor’s rights.

 

Article 9                       Final Acceptance

 

A.    All Work (other than Source Codes) shall be subject to Final
Acceptance by Inmarsat, which for Spacecraft shall  be accomplished in the
Launch Readiness Review referred to in Section 7.4.4 of Annex A hereto,
entitled Statement of Work, EXCEPT
as otherwise provided in Paragraph B(3) of Article 33 hereof, entitled Option to Store Spacecraft, and for
non-Spacecraft items shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements
given in Appendix 3 of Annex A hereto entitled Statement of Work.

 

B.    Final Acceptance for Spacecraft shall be evidenced by issuance by
Inmarsat of a certificate of Final Acceptance, which shall be provided to the
Contractor by Inmarsat promptly following successful completion of such Launch
Readiness Review.

 

C.    The Contractor’s right to retain any progress payments made pursuant
to Paragraph A of Article 7 hereof, entitled Payment Terms, shall be conditional upon Final

A - 11

 

Acceptance of the Spacecraft to which such
payments relate.  Payment of progress
payments shall not be construed as acceptance of any part of the Work, UNLESS
the milestone event to which the progress payment corresponds is so
defined.  If any Spacecraft is not
finally accepted, the progress payments relating to it shall be subject to
refund to the extent such refund is provided for in other Articles of this
Contract.

 

D.    If Inmarsat determines that any deliverables do not conform to the
requirements of this Contract, Inmarsat shall promptly notify the Contractor of
the particulars, and the Contractor shall promptly make the necessary
corrections at its own cost.  The decision
as to how to make the corrections shall be in the Contractor’s discretion, but
shall require consultation with Inmarsat. 
If the Contractor fails to make such corrections promptly, and to
Inmarsat’s satisfaction, the remedies in Paragraph C of Article 24 hereof,
entitled Inmarsat’s Other Remedies for
Breach, shall apply. In the event that Inmarsat does not notify the
Contractor of any non conformances with respect to the requirements of the
Contract in respect of deliverables other than the Spacecraft or other
deliverables for which there is a Final Acceptance Review as defined in Section
7.4.5 of Annex A, within thirty (30) days of delivery in accordance with
Article 19, such deliverables shall be deemed accepted at the end of such

A.    Notwithstanding any prior inspection or acceptance by Inmarsat, the
Contractor provides the following warranty with respect to all equipment and
services specified in Article 3 hereof, entitled Contractor Deliverables, except for source codes for which no
warranty is given:

 

1.     All equipment shall
be free from any defects in design, materials or workmanship unless waived in
writing by Inmarsat in accordance with Paragraph K of Article 31, entitled Changes and, UNLESS otherwise agreed in
writing by Inmarsat, shall not have been previously used or refurbished.

 

2.     All services shall
be performed in a skilful and workmanlike manner consistent with the generally
accepted custom and practice in the industry.

 

3.     All equipment and
services shall conform to the requirements specified in this Contract,
including its Annexes.

 

B.    This warranty  in relation to Spacecraft shall
commence at the time of Final Acceptance pursuant to Article 9 hereof, entitled
Final Acceptance, and shall run
until the Spacecraft is Launched, or for a period of five (5) years, whichever
occurs first, PROVIDED that, if the Spacecraft is placed in storage pursuant to
Paragraph D of Article 19 hereof, entitled Remedies
for Late Delivery, or where the Combined Mass has been exceeded as provided

C.    In the event of defective or non-conforming equipment or services,
Inmarsat may require the Contractor to correct or replace the defective or
non-conforming item at the Contractor’s expense.  The decisions whether the non-conforming item is to be corrected
or replaced, and how to make any corrections, shall be in the Contractor’s
discretion, but shall require consultation with Inmarsat.  If the Contractor does not correct or
replace the item promptly after notification from Inmarsat, or if the
Contractor fails to do so to Inmarsat’s satisfaction, the remedies in Paragraph
C of Article 24 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Other Remedies for Breach, shall apply.

 

D.    With respect to any defective item that is corrected or replaced,
the warranty period specified in Paragraph B of this Article shall be a
cumulative period, including the period prior to  correction or replacement and the  period thereafter.

 

E.     The Contractor shall not be responsible for any defects or
non-conformances in items caused by the failure of Inmarsat to operate or
maintain such items (or part thereof) in accordance with the Contractor’s
operation manuals provided that such operation manuals do not conflict with the
contractual requirements in respect of such items, or which arise due to
modifications or alterations to such items by or on behalf of Inmarsat or by a
third party without the Contractor’s prior written authorisation.

Article 12                Corrections in Unlaunched Spacecraft

 

A.    If, at any time prior to the Launch of any Spacecraft, data
available with respect to any other Spacecraft or any programmes in the
heritage of the Spacecraft indicates that defects exist that may adversely
affect the operation of such  Spacecraft, the Contractor shall
take prompt appropriate corrective measures at its own expense so as to
eliminate the deficiencies from all unlaunched Spacecraft to Inmarsat’s
satisfaction.  Should the Contractor
admit that such a defect exists but dispute that such defects will recur in
unlaunched Spacecraft, the onus of proof shall be on the Contractor to
demonstrate that such defects will not recur. 
The decision as to how to make the corrections shall be in the
Contractor’s discretion, but shall require consultation with Inmarsat.  If the Contractor fails to take such
corrective measures promptly, and to Inmarsat’s satisfaction, the remedies in
Paragraph C of Article 24 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Other Remedies for Breach, shall apply.

 

B.    If such corrections will affect the Contractor’s ability to comply
with the delivery schedule referred to  in
Article 4 hereof, entitled Performance
Schedule, the parties shall in good faith negotiate adjustments to that schedule.

 

C.    The Contractor shall not be required to disclose in-orbit data about
spacecraft owned by others if such disclosure would violate contracts between
the Contractor or its Subcontractors and such owners but the Contractor shall
be required to notify Inmarsat of deficiencies in such spacecraft within the
scope of Paragraph A of this Article.

 

Article 13                Inmarsat’s Rights in Intellectual Property

 

A.    The Contractor hereby grants to Inmarsat the world-wide,
irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use and to sub-licence others
to use for Inmarsat Purposes any Foreground Data or Foreground Invention.  Any sub-licence granted by Inmarsat shall be
non-exclusive and shall not include the right for the sub-licencee to grant
further sub-licences.

 

B.    The Contractor shall, as soon as practicable and in any event upon
completion of the Work to be performed under this Contract, provide Inmarsat
with full written details of any Foreground Data or Foreground Invention.

 

C.    Subject to the remainder of this Article, the Contractor shall have
the right to file patent applications in respect of any Foreground Invention.
If the Contractor does not wish to patent any Foreground Invention in any
jurisdiction or wishes to discontinue prosecution of any patent application in
such jurisdiction, then it shall so notify Inmarsat in writing. Inmarsat shall
then have the right to file a patent application or, as appropriate, prosecute
any existing patent application, in which case, the Contractor shall assign to
Inmarsat the entire right, title and interest in the Foreground Invention or
patent application for such jurisdiction. Each of the Contractor and Inmarsat
shall ensure that it takes no action which would adversely affect the
patentability of any Foreground Invention. 
Should Inmarsat obtain a patent on any Foreground Invention, then the
Contractor shall have the irrevocable royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use
and sub-licence others to use the same.

D.    To the extent that the Contractor has or has been granted such right
or subsequently is granted such right, Inmarsat and any subsequent owner,
lessee or any third party to whom deliverable equipment (including the
Spacecraft) is disposed of shall have the royalty-free, non-exclusive right to
use, or have third parties who are not competing spacecraft manufacturers
(provided always that such restriction shall not apply if and to the extent
that Inmarsat has elected to have all or part of the Work completed by a third
party under the provisions of Paragraphs A.3.a and C.1 of Article 24 hereof,
entitled Inmarsat’s Other Remedies for
Breach) use on their behalf, Background Data and Background Inventions
solely for the purpose of, using, repairing or maintaining such deliverable
equipment.  The Contractor shall use all
reasonable efforts to obtain such rights and shall promptly notify Inmarsat of
any failure to obtain the same.

 

E.     With the exception of Deliverable Data listed in Appendix 6 of Annex
A hereto, entitled Statement of Work,
for which Inmarsat shall have unrestricted rights to copy and use for Inmarsat
Purposes, Inmarsat shall have the right to copy and use Deliverable Data for
Inmarsat Purposes subject to the provisions of Paragraphs A and D of this
Article.

 

F.     The Contractor shall do all acts and things or execute any documents
as may be reasonably required by Inmarsat to vest or perfect the rights granted
hereunder.

 

G.    In respect of Software, the Contractor hereby grants to Inmarsat, subject
to the provisions of Paragraph H of this Article, the world-wide, irrevocable,
non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use and to sub-licence others to use for
Inmarsat Purposes. Any sub-licence granted by Inmarsat shall be non-exclusive
and shall not include the right for the sub-licencee to grant further
sub-licences.

 

“Use” (or to “use”) in relation to Software
means copying it from a store unit or medium into equipment, running or
processing it, operating upon it, all of the aforementioned either alone or
with other programmes, and producing copies including, where appropriate, in
eye-readable form.

 

H.    Insofar as the Software contains commercial off-the-shelf software,
then the Contract Price provides for the use of the number of copies specified
in Appendices 3 and 4 of Annex A, entitled Statement
of Work.  Should Inmarsat require
additional copies it shall either itself procure the necessary rights or
alternatively request the Contractor to procure such rights at Inmarsat’s cost.

 

I.      Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting any rights of Inmarsat
or obligations of the Contractor under the Contract, including specifically the
right of Inmarsat without payment of additional compensation to use, have used,
deliver, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of, any item or part thereof required
to be delivered by the Contractor.

 

J.     The Contractor has agreed to deliver to Inmarsat a copy of certain
source codes as listed in Annex A Appendices 3 and 4 (the “Source Codes”) and
will replace such copy if it is damaged or destroyed.  The Contractor hereby grants to Inmarsat the irrevocable,
non-exclusive, royalty-free right (without the right to sub-license) to use the
Source Codes for Inmarsat Purposes. 
Inmarsat shall not use the Source Codes other than in locations in the
United Kingdom or France provided that the Contractor shall not unreasonably
withhold consent for use in other countries for operational reasons.

 

Without the prior written consent of the
Contractor, Inmarsat will not (i) copy, modify (except as provided in Annex A),
amend or extend any part, module or subset of any

Source Code; or (ii) disclose to any third
party or permit any third party to use any Source Code or any part, module or
subset thereof; or (iii) use any Source Code or any part or module thereof
other than for Inmarsat Purposes; or (iv) sell, lease, license or otherwise
distribute or dispose of any Source Code or any part, module or subset thereof.

 

On breach by Inmarsat of its obligations
under this Paragraph J of Article 13, the license granted by the Contractor
hereunder shall immediately terminate, Inmarsat shall return all copies of the
Source Codes or any part, module or subset thereof to the Contractor and
Inmarsat shall indemnify the Contractor, its Subcontractors, and the officers,
employees, agents, or subsidiaries of any of them from and against any loss,
damage, liability, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) resulting from
such breach.

 

If there is any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Paragraph J and the other Paragraphs of this Article 13, the
provisions of Paragraph J shall prevail.

 

Article 14                Industrial and Intellectual Property Rights Indemnity

 

A.    This Article shall apply with respect to all claims that the
manufacture, sale, lease, or use of any Spacecraft or any other item delivered
pursuant to this Contract or used in the performance of the Work infringes any
industrial or intellectual property right, including, but without limitation
to, patents, trade marks, registered designs, and copyrights, or breaches any
confidence, including trade secrets, except where such infringement arises from
use or combination with any other item or to the extent such Spacecraft or item
delivered under the Contract is modified following Final Acceptance by an
entity other than Contractor or its Subcontractors, when and to the extent the
infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, use or
modification.

 

B.    The Contractor shall resist and defend or settle, at its own
expense, any claims against any Indemnitees, and shall pay any royalties and
other costs required by the settlement of such claims, and any damages and
costs awarded and due and payable as a result of any legal action based on such
claims, PROVIDED that the Indemnitees give the Contractor prompt notice of such
claims, all necessary authority to defend or settle the claims on their behalf,
and, at the request of the Contractor and at the Contractor’s cost, reasonable
co-operation and assistance and such relevant information as is available to
them.

 

C.    In the event that, as a result of any such claim, the manufacture or
delivery of the Spacecraft or item is enjoined, or the sale, lease, or use
thereof is enjoined after delivery, the Contractor shall do the following, in
the order stated:

 

1.     Use all reasonable
efforts (including but not limited to the payment of any necessary licence
fees) to negotiate a license or other agreement with the plaintiff to resolve
the alleged infringement.

 

2.     Subject to the
technical approval of Inmarsat and any other Indemnitees directly affected by
the injunction, modify the Spacecraft or item, by substitution of a
non-infringing subsystem or component or otherwise, so that the Spacecraft or
item will no longer be subject to the injunction, PROVIDED that this Article
shall thereafter apply to the modified Spacecraft or item.

 

3.     In the event that
neither of the foregoing alternatives is suitably accomplished by the
Contractor, the Contractor shall be liable to the Indemnitees

by the injunction, for direct damages suffered and costs reasonably incurred as
a result of inability to use the Spacecraft or item.

 

D.    No infringement claims shall excuse the Contractor from the
consequences of Article 19 hereof, entitled Remedies for Late Delivery. 
Any injunction after delivery restricting use of delivered Spacecraft
shall be treated as a Spacecraft deficiency for the purpose of Article 21
hereof, entitled Spacecraft Performance
Incentives.

 

The Contractor’s obligations under this
Article shall extend to all infringement claims arising during the in orbit
lifetime of the Spacecraft.

 

Article 15                Loss and Damage Indemnity

 

A.    The following indemnities shall apply with respect to any loss of or
damage to property, or personal injury or death, to the extent  caused
by any act or omission for which  the Contractor, or its
Subcontractors, or the employees or agents of any of them are legally liable,
in the performance of the Work, EXCEPT as otherwise provided in Article 16
hereof, entitled Disclaimer of Liability
at Launch Site, and PROVIDED that the Contractor shall have no obligation
to provide indemnification from liabilities caused by any Spacecraft after
Lift-Off or other items deliverable under this Contract after Final Acceptance
:

 

1.     In the case of loss
or damage, or injury or death, suffered by an Indemnitee, the causes of action
and remedies shall be determined in accordance with the tort law or other
applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction, EXCEPT that, in addition, the
Contractor shall be responsible as indemnitor for the consequences of acts or
omissions of its Subcontractors for which they are legally liable.

 

2.     In the case of loss
or damage, or injury or death, suffered by third parties, including employees
of the Contractor or its Subcontractors, the Contractor shall, at its own
expense, defend any claims brought against any of the Indemnitees, and shall
pay all damages and costs associated with settlements or awards in connection
therewith, PROVIDED that the Indemnitees give the Contractor prompt notice of
such claims, appropriate authority to defend the claims on their behalf, and,
at the request of the Contractor, reasonable co-operation and assistance and
such relevant information as is available to them.

 

B.    Inmarsat shall have a reciprocal obligation, subject to the same
exceptions and provisos applied mutatis
mutandis, to indemnify the Contractor, its Subcontractors, and the
officers, employees, agents, or subsidiaries of any of them, with respect to
loss of or damage to property, or personal injury or death, to the extent
caused by any act or omission for which  Inmarsat, its other contractors, or
the employees or agents of any of them are legally liable, in connection with
the Work.

 

C.    Without prejudice to Inmarsat’s rights under Article 11, entitled Warranty, Article 14, entitled Industrial and Intellectual Property Rights
Indemnity, and Article 21, entitled Spacecraft
Performance Incentives, Inmarsat shall indemnify and hold the Contractor,
and its officers, employees, or agents harmless from and against any loss,
damage, liability, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) resulting from
any third party claims which may arise in connection with the use, operation,
performance, non-performance, failure or degradation of a Spacecraft after

Article 17                Consequences of Force Majeure

 

A.    The purpose of this Article is to establish the consequences of
Force Majeure events preventing either party from complying with any of its
obligations under this Contract.  For
the avoidance of doubt the payment obligations of either party shall not be the
subject of Force Majeure.

 

B.    Any party whose ability to perform is affected by a Force Majeure
event shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of such event.

 

C.    If the effect of a Force Majeure event is temporary, subject to
Paragraph D of this Article, the  party
so affected shall not be responsible for any consequent delay, and the relevant
schedule or time period shall be extended accordingly, if notice is given to
the other party within seven (7) days after the party affected becomes aware,
or should reasonably have become aware, that the event has occurred.  At the time of the initial notice of the
occurrence of the event, or as soon thereafter as possible, the party affected
shall inform the other party of the extent of the  delay expected as a result of the event.

 

D.    In the case of one or more Force Majeure events notified by the
Contractor having a temporary effect on the ability of the Contractor to
deliver any Spacecraft within the schedule referred to in Article 4 hereof,
entitled Performance Schedule, if
the effect is, or will be, to delay such delivery by more than one hundred and
eighty (180) days, or in the case of Force Majeure events notified by the
Contractor permanently preventing the Contractor from complying with the
schedule, Inmarsat may declare this Contract to be discharged as to the
Spacecraft so affected.  With respect to
such Spacecraft, Article 26 hereof, entitled Termination for Convenience,
shall be applied mutatis  mutandis
to determine the impact on the Contractor and the Contractor shall be entitled
to ***

under Article 26. The Contractor will retain title to the Work but beneficial
ownership will be shared equally between the parties.  Inmarsat shall not transfer, charge or otherwise dispose of its
rights of beneficial ownership to a third party and shall release any rights of
beneficial ownership upon either a sale in accordance with Paragraph E of this
Article or at the end of the *** period referred to in Paragraph E of this
Article.

 

E.     Following
a termination according to the provisions of Paragraph D of this Article 17 the
Contractor may proceed with the sale of such Spacecraft with Inmarsat’s agreement.  The proceeds realised from any subsequent
sale of such Spacecraft shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and
expense incurred by the Contractor for the storage, protection, removal,
modification, completion, sale, and delivery of such Spacecraft, and the
remaining amount shall be shared equally between the Contractor and
Inmarsat.  The Contractor shall have no
obligation to pay to Inmarsat any proceeds of the sale of such Spacecraft
unless the Contractor has contracted to sell the Spacecraft within *** months
after such termination.

 

Article 18                Governmental Authorisations

 

A.    The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining
all governmental authorisations necessary for the performance of the Work.
Inmarsat agrees to provide all reasonable assistance to the Contractor and its
Subcontractors in obtaining and maintaining all such governmental
authorisations.  The key authorisations
required, and the dates by which they must be obtained, are identified in Annex
G hereto, entitled Governmental  Authorisations (“Key Authorisations”).

 

B.    The Contractor shall, at the end of **** from EDC, present a report
to Inmarsat on the Key Authorisations. The report shall contain a detailed
description of the Contractor’s progress in obtaining the Key Authorisations
and shall present a conclusion as to whether the Contractor will fail to  obtain or maintain any Key
Authorisation such that the Contractor will be unable to deliver any Spacecraft
within ****  after  the due date for delivery specified in
Article 4 hereof, entitled Performance
Schedule, as that date may be modified pursuant to Paragraph B of Article
12 hereof, entitled Corrections in  Unlaunched Spacecraft, Article 17
hereof, entitled Consequences of Force
Majeure, or Article 31 hereof, entitled Changes (a “Negative Conclusion”)  or whether it will not be prevented, by the need to obtain or
maintain any Key Authorisation, from being able so to deliver (a “Positive
Conclusion”).

 

C.    Inmarsat shall accept or reject the conclusion of the report within
ten (10) days of receipt.

 

D.    If Inmarsat rejects the conclusion of the report, then, the
Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of being notified of such rejection,
present a written recovery plan to Inmarsat including corrective actions that
the Contractor will take to circumvent the failure to obtain or maintain such
Key Authorisation such as identification of alternative suppliers. If Inmarsat
does not accept or reject the recovery plan within ten (10) days from receipt
then the recovery plan shall be deemed to have been rejected.  If Inmarsat accepts the recovery plan this
Contract shall be deemed amended in accordance with the plan forthwith and
Inmarsat shall confirm this by formal amendment to the Contract in accordance
with the provisions of Article 31 hereto, entitled Changes, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the recovery plan.

 

E.     If the Contractor’s recovery plan is not acceptable to Inmarsat,
then the responsible officers of Inmarsat and the Contractor identified in
Article 40 hereof, entitled Responsible
Officers shall discuss the plan in good faith in an effort to develop a
plan acceptable to both parties within a period of ten (10) days from rejection
of the recovery plan. Any failure by such responsible officers to reach agreement
within such period shall be escalated promptly to the parties’ chief executive
officers. Any agreed recovery plan and/or any agreement reached between the
parties’ chief executive officers shall be incorporated into this Contract by
amendment pursuant to Article 31 hereto, entitled Changes within five (5) days of such agreement.

G.    If Inmarsat accepts the conclusion of the report, being a Positive
Conclusion, or if Inmarsat rejects the conclusion of the report and the parties

Article 19                Remedies for Late Delivery

 

A.    The Contractor understands that Inmarsat intends to procure Launch
services for the Spacecraft in reliance on the delivery schedule specified in
Article 4 hereof, entitled Performance
Schedule.  Therefore, the Contractor
accepts that time is of the essence of this Contract, and that delayed delivery
by the Contractor may cause Inmarsat to incur additional costs, including
launch service postponement fees, loss of anticipated revenue, and other
damages difficult or impossible to measure. 
The Contractor agrees to be subject to the liquidated damages provided
for in this Article, and further agrees that such liquidated damages are
intended to be compensatory and do not constitute a penalty.

 

B.    With reference to the definition of “Spacecraft” in Article 1
hereof, entitled Definitions, and
for the avoidance of doubt, this Article shall also apply to all equipment and
services associated with the Spacecraft and necessary to support the Launch

D.    If delays to Spacecraft are such that the Launch Vehicle agency
re-manifests the Spacecraft, the Contractor shall provide free storage of the
Spacecraft until the  next available
Launch opportunity on the same Launch Vehicle or, if earlier, any replacement
Launch Vehicle that Inmarsat procures subject to Paragraph E of this
Article.  UNLESS otherwise directed by
Inmarsat, such storage services shall be provided free of charge but otherwise
in accordance with Paragraph B of Article 33 hereof, entitled Option to Store Spacecraft.  The Contractor’s liability for
liquidated damages for Spacecraft under Paragraph C of this Article shall cease
at the time the Spacecraft is available for the tests specified in Paragraph
B(3) of Article 33 that precede storage, PROVIDED that, if deficiencies are
discovered during such tests, Paragraph F of this Article shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

E.     If Inmarsat elects to procure a replacement Launch Vehicle pursuant
to Paragraph D of this Article, Inmarsat must choose from Ariane 5, Sea Launch
5400, Sea Launch 5700, Proton M Breeze M, Delta 4 and Atlas 5. 
The Contractor shall, at its own expense, take all necessary actions to
ensure compatibility between the Spacecraft and the replacement Launch Vehicle,
in accordance with Section 3 of Annex A hereto, entitled Statement of Work. If the Spacecraft, after achieving Successful
Injection, does not maintain Satisfactory Operation for the full Orbital Life
because of the use of the replacement Launch Vehicle, Paragraph B of Article 21
hereof, entitled Spacecraft Performance
Incentives, shall apply with respect to any shortfall.

 

F.     For the purpose of this Contract, delivery of each Spacecraft shall
be deemed to have occurred at the time that it has arrived at the designated
Launch site and been inspected by Inmarsat to ensure that there has been no
apparent loss or damage in transit, so that the Spacecraft is available for
commencement of the launch campaign. 
Such delivery shall be subject to Inmarsat’s rights under Article 9
hereof, entitled Final Acceptance.  In the event that Inmarsat subsequently
rejects the Spacecraft pursuant to Article 9, delivery shall not be deemed to
have occurred until the defects that led to such rejection have been remedied
to Inmarsat’s satisfaction, PROVIDED that liquidated damages shall not apply
during the period between delivery and discovery of such defects.  To minimise any Launch delays, the
Contractor shall expedite remedial actions, including dispatch of spare parts
via chartered aircraft at its own expense.

 

G.    For the purpose of determining the due date for payment in
accordance with Paragraph B of Article 7 hereof, entitled Payment Terms, Inmarsat’s entitlement to liquidated damages under
this Article shall arise at the end of each calendar month in which delays
occur.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
liquidated damages shall accrue on a daily basis.

 

H.    In the event that in respect of a Spacecraft the Contractor is
subject to liquidated damages for failure to achieve the milestone dates
identified in Paragraph C above but the Contractor nevertheless delivers such
Spacecraft by the delivery date pursuant to Article 4, entitled Performance Schedule, then any
liquidated damages paid by the Contractor to Inmarsat in respect thereof shall
be reimbursed to the Contractor.

I.      In the event that, at successful completion of the pre-shipment
review in respect of a Spacecraft the Launch Vehicle on which such Spacecraft
is due to be Launched is unavailable such that Inmarsat requests the Contractor
to delay shipment of such Spacecraft to the Launch site, the Contractor’s
liability for liquidated damages shall be temporarily suspended upon successful
completion of such pre-shipment review for the period of such delay and shall
resume at the same level of liability at which they were suspended upon
notification by Inmarsat of a revised delivery date.  If the Spacecraft has been placed into storage as a result of
such delay, no liquidated damages shall be payable for the duration of the
Storage Recovery procedures as specified in Paragraph B8 of Article 33,
entitled Option to Store Spacecraft.

L.     The remedies in this Article shall be Inmarsat’s exclusive remedy
with respect to late delivery during the liquidated damages period of each
Spacecraft and shall be in lieu of any other remedies at law, in equity or
under the Contract for delay except for Inmarsat’s rights of termination under
this Contract.

 

Article 20                Remedies for Exceeding Specified Mass

 

A.    The Contractor understands that any excess mass may cause Inmarsat
to incur additional Launch costs, and may also result in shortening of the
Orbital Life of a Spacecraft if there are physical constraints associated with
the Launch Vehicle preventing the loading of any additional propellant
necessary to achieve Orbital Life with such excess mass.  The actual consequences of excess mass are
dependent upon Launch Vehicle selection and upon mass-related charges to be determined
in negotiations with Launch Vehicle agencies subsequent to EDC.  The Contractor agrees to be subject to the
remedies provided for in this Article, and further agrees that such remedies
are intended to be compensatory and do not constitute penalties.

 

B.    If the specified Combined Mass is exceeded, then following the
Launch of any such Spacecraft, and thirty (30) days after receiving a demand
for payment from Inmarsat, the Contractor shall reimburse Inmarsat according to
the provisions of Paragraphs C and D of this Article.

 

C.    Inmarsat shall promptly notify the Contractor of all Launch dates
(“L”) agreed with the Launch Vehicle agency in respect of each Spacecraft.  In the event that, at or prior to L minus
**** for any Spacecraft, the Contractor notifies Inmarsat that the Combined
Mass of such Spacecraft is exceeded, then the Contractor shall be subject to
the following liquidated damages.  These
amounts are firm, fixed and not subject to adjustment due to changes in
economic conditions.  The Contractor
will pay:

 

(i)                                     for each kilogramme by which the Combined Mass is exceeded (the
“Excess Mass”) up to a limit of the number of kilogrammes of Excess Mass which
may be reached without causing the Spacecraft to be incompatible with the Sea
Launch 5400 Launch Vehicle (the “Compatibility Limit”), **** United States
Dollars; and

 

(ii)                                  if the Excess Mass exceeds the Compatibility Limit, **** United
States Dollars; and

A - 22

 

(iii)                               if the Excess Mass exceeds the Compatibility Limit by more than ****
kilogrammes, **** United States Dollars for each kilogramme of Excess Mass
beyond such **** kilogrammes.

 

D.    If the Contractor notifies Inmarsat of an increase or a further
increase of the Combined Mass after L minus ****, the provisions of Paragraph C
of this Article 20 shall apply to any such increase, ****.

 

E.     If the actual Combined Mass of a Spacecraft exceeds the launch
capability of any available Launch Vehicle or if any alternative Launch Vehicle
was not available within 12 months then Inmarsat would be entitled to apply, mutatis mutandis, the termination
provisions of Article 24 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Other Remedies for Breach.

 

F.     In the event that the Combined Mass is exceeded and the Spacecraft
remains compatible with the Sea Launch 5400 Launch Vehicle, the Contractor’s
liability per Spacecraft under Paragraph C(i) of this Article shall not exceed
****.

 

G.    If the Combined Mass is exceeded and Inmarsat elects to procure a
replacement Launch Vehicle, Inmarsat must choose from Ariane 5, Sea Launch
5400, Sea Launch 5700, Proton M Breeze M, Delta 4 and Atlas 5. 
The Contractor shall, at its own expense, take all necessary actions to
ensure compatibility between the Spacecraft and the replacement Launch Vehicle,
in accordance with Section 3 of Annex A hereto, entitled Statement of Work. If the Spacecraft, after achieving Successful
Injection, does not maintain Satisfactory Operation for the full Orbital Life
because of the use of the replacement Launch Vehicle, Paragraph B of Article 21
hereof, entitled Spacecraft Performance
Incentives, shall apply with respect to any shortfall.

 

H.    The remedies in this
Article shall be Inmarsat’s exclusive remedy and shall be in lieu of any other
remedies at law, in equity or under the Contract for exceeding Spacecraft mass.

 

Article 21                Spacecraft Performance Incentives

 

A.            Post–Launch
Milestone Payments

 

1.               After the Launch of each Spacecraft, Inmarsat shall pay to the
Contractor the Post-Launch Milestone Payments given in Table D-2 of Annex D
hereto, entitled Payment Plan
following the successful completion of each Post Launch Milestone identified
therein.

 

2.               With respect to any Spacecraft that does not achieve Successful
Injection, the following provisions shall apply:

 

a.               Inmarsat shall make the payments given in Table D-2 of Annex D
hereto, entitled Payment Plan, and
shall make the incentive payments provided for in Table D-3 of Annex D hereto,
entitled Payment Plan in the same
manner as if the Spacecraft had successfully achieved the Post-Launch Milestones
given in Table D-2 of Annex D hereto, entitled Payment Plan and continuously maintained Satisfactory Operation if
such failure is caused solely by one or more of the following:

 

i.                                          The Launch Vehicle; or

ii.                                       Extraneous events not attributable to the Launch Vehicle, the
Spacecraft, or any act or omission of the Contractor or its Subcontractors,

 

b.              If such failure is caused solely by the Spacecraft or any other act
or omission of the Contractor or its Subcontractors, the Contractor shall not
be entitled to the Post-Launch Milestone Payments given in Table D-2 of Annex D
hereto, entitled Payment Plan or any
of the incentive payments provided for in Paragraph B of this Article,  unless Inmarsat uses such Spacecraft for
commercial purposes, in which case the parties shall agree an equitable level
of payments in good faith.

 

c.               If such failure is attributable in part to the causes specified in
Paragraph A(2)(a) of this Article and in part to the causes specified in
Paragraph A(2)(b) of this Article the Contractor’s entitlement to the
Post-Launch Milestone Payments given in Table D-2 of Annex D hereto, entitled Payment Plan and any of the incentive
payments provided for in Paragraph B of this Article shall be negotiated in
good faith, with the objective of apportioning the Contractor’s entitlement in
accordance with the relative degree to which the causes specified in Paragraph
A(2)(b) contributed to the failure.

 

B.            Incentives
Related to Achieving Satisfactory Operation

 

With respect to each Spacecraft that
successfully achieves the Post-Launch Milestones given in Table D-2 of Annex D
hereto, entitled Payment Plan, the
Contractor shall be entitled to performance incentive payments for maintaining
Satisfactory Operation, subject to the following provisions:

 

1.               The total amount placed at risk with respect to each Spacecraft
contingent upon Satisfactory Operation shall be those amounts identified in
Table D-3 of Annex D hereto, entitled Payment
Plan.  These amounts are firm, fixed
and not subject to adjustment due to changes in economic conditions.

 

2.               To the extent that any failure to maintain Satisfactory Operation is
caused by a failure by  Inmarsat or its other contractors
tocontrol the Spacecraft in accordance with the Contractor’s operating
instructions, the Contractor’s entitlement to performance incentives shall not
be affected and payment thereof shall continue to be made in accordance with
Table D-3 of Annex D, entitled Payment
Plan, hereof, PROVIDED that the Contractor shall have the burden of proving
such causation.

 

3.               Subject to Paragraph B(2) of this Article, with respect to any
period of time during which all of the conditions prescribed for Satisfactory
Operation are not continuously met:

 

a.               The applicable amounts specified in Paragraph B(1) of this Article
shall be adjusted as follows :

 

i.                                          The algorithm in Annex E hereto, entitled Performance Algorithm shall determine such adjustment if the
Spacecraft malfunction manifests itself in any of the performance parameters
included in the algorithm and

 

ii.                                       To the extent that the Performance Algorithm referred to in
sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply to the malfunction the parties
shall negotiate equitable reductions in good faith, such negotiations shall
take into account the operating usefulness to Inmarsat of the Spacecraft with
the malfunction compared to the operating usefulness without the malfunction,
and any

A - 24

 

additional costs
Inmarsat may incur and any revenue it may lose as a result of the failure of
the Spacecraft to continuously meet the conditions prescribed for Satisfactory
Operation.

 

b.              If Inmarsat elects not to use the degraded Spacecraft for commercial
purposes, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any applicable incentive
payments from the time Inmarsat terminates use of the Spacecraft.  Inmarsat’s decision on Spacecraft
utilisation shall be final and binding on the Contractor.  Use of the Spacecraft for testing or other
non-revenue producing purposes shall not be deemed a utilisation for commercial
purposes.  Sale or lease of capacity on
the Spacecraft to third parties shall be deemed to be utilisation for
commercial purposes.

 

c.               After terminating use of the Spacecraft, if Inmarsat subsequently
decides to use the Spacecraft for commercial purposes, the parties shall in
good faith negotiate the terms and conditions under which the Spacecraft shall
be re-subjected to performance incentives.

 

d.              In the event that the malfunction does not persist, performance
incentive payments shall be readjusted to a higher level on the date the
malfunction disappears partially or in whole, such new level to be determined
in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

 

4.               For the purpose of determining the due date for payment of
performance incentives in accordance with Paragraph B of Article 7 hereof,
entitled Payment Terms, the
Contractor’s entitlement to performance incentive payments under Paragraph B of
this Article shall arise at the end of each calendar quarter, EXCEPT that
entitlement to the first payment shall not arise until the  end of the initial one-hundred eighty (180) day period following
Successful Injection.

 

C.            Launch
Delays

 

In the event of a Launch delay that is not
attributable to the Contractor, Inmarsat shall pay interest monthly to the
Contractor on the total amounts given in Tables D-2 and D-3 of Annex D hereto,
entitled Payment Plan, at a rate of
**** for each day of delay in Launch from the date announced at the
Pre-Shipment Review to the date of actual Launch.  No payment shall be due until the period of Launch delay exceeds
sixty (60) days, provided however, that once the period of Launch delay has
exceeded sixty (60) days, Inmarsat shall be liable to pay such interest for
each day of delay from the Launch date announced at the Pre-Shipment Review
provided that the interest for the initial sixty (60) days shall be compounded
monthly.

 

D.            Measurements
and Disputes

 

The following provisions shall govern
determinations of Successful Injection and Satisfactory Operation to be made
pursuant to this Article:

 

1.               Determinations of Successful Injection shall be based on all
relevant measurements, computations, and analyses available from Inmarsat or
the Launch Vehicle agency.

 

2.               Determinations of Satisfactory Performance shall be based on
Inmarsat measurements, computations, and analyses.

A - 25

 

3.               If the Contractor disagrees with any determination by Inmarsat, and
has evidence to the contrary, Inmarsat shall consider such evidence.  If any disagreement about any such
determination persists, the parties may mutually agree to submit it to a technical
expert, or either party may invoke Article 35 hereof, entitled Arbitration.  At the time that Article 35 is invoked, the potential payor
shall immediately place the full disputed amount in an interest-bearing escrow
account at Bank of America , London England. 
Upon presentation of a certificate duly signed by the authorised
representatives of both parties, or by the arbitrator if one party unreasonably
refuses to sign the certificate, confirming that the dispute has been settled,
the bank shall distribute the funds in accordance with the terms of the
settlement, and the interest earned shall be divided in direct proportion to
such terms.

 

E.              Non-Insurability
of Performance Incentives

 

The Contractor agrees not to insure against
the risk of losing any of the performance incentives in this Article.  In the event that the Contractor does
arrange such insurance in contravention of this paragraph, all of the following
shall apply:

 

1.               If the risk of failure to achieve Successful Injection has been
insured, the Contractor shall forfeit entitlement to the corresponding progress
payment.  If the risk of failure to
maintain Satisfactory Operation has been insured, the Contractor shall forfeit
entitlement to the applicable incentive payments.

 

2.               To the extent that any part of the premium cost of such insurance
has been included in the prices referred to in Article 5 hereof, entitled Prices the Contractor shall refund such
contribution to Inmarsat.

 

3.               Inmarsat shall be entitled to receive any insurance proceeds paid.

 

F.              Exclusivity
of Remedies

 

The remedies in this Article shall be
Inmarsat’s exclusive remedies with respect to the performance of each
Spacecraft after it is Launched other than as provided for in Article 12
hereof, entitled Corrections in
Unlaunched Spacecraft, and shall be in lieu of any other remedies at law or
in equity.

 

Article 22                Remedies for Non-Delivery of Information About Data and Inventions

 

If theContractor fails to deliver all Deliverable Data, or to comply with the
notification requirements due upon completion of the Work pursuant to Paragraph
B of Article 13 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s
Rights in Intellectual Property, 
Inmarsat may, until such requirements are completely fulfilled to
Inmarsat’s satisfaction, withhold up to five (5) percent of the progress
payments in Annex D hereto, entitled Payment
Plan, that correspond to such milestone events, and any subsequent payment
of such amounts shall not be subject to interest for the period of withholding
permitted by this Article.

 

Article 23                Termination in Special Circumstances

 

A.    Inmarsat shall have the right to terminate this Contract, in whole
or in part, at any time and with immediate effect, in any of the following
circumstances:

Article 24                Inmarsat’s Other Remedies for Breach

 

A.            Discharge
for Anticipatory Breach

 

If the Contractor will not be able to
deliver any Spacecraft within ****  after  the due date for delivery specified in
Article 4 hereof, entitled Performance
Schedule, as that date may be modified pursuant to Paragraph B of Article
12 hereof, entitled Corrections in  Unlaunched Spacecraft, Article 17
hereof, entitled Consequences of Force
Majeure, or Article 31 hereof, entitled Changes, Inmarsat may invoke the following provisions with respect
to such Spacecraft:

 

1.               Inmarsat may give the Contractor notice of potential discharge for
anticipatory breach, and the parties shall enter into good faith consultations
to ascertain whether the schedule can be recovered to within such ****.

 

2.               The Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of notice of potential
discharge, present a written recovery plan to Inmarsat showing the corrective
actions that the Contractor will take to ensure that the schedule is recovered to
within such ****.  If Inmarsat does not
accept or reject the recovery plan within ten (10) days from receipt then the
recovery plan shall be deemed to have been rejected.  If Inmarsat accepts the recovery plan this Contract shall be
deemed amended in accordance with the plan forthwith and Inmarsat shall confirm
this by formal amendment to the Contract in accordance with the provisions of
Article 31 hereto, entitled Changes,
within thirty (30) days from receipt of the recovery plan.

 

If the
Contractor’s recovery plan has been rejected by Inmarsat, then the responsible
officers of Inmarsat and the Contractor shall discuss the plan in good faith in
an effort to develop a plan acceptable to both parties within a further period
of ten (10) days from rejection of such plan.

 

Any failure by
such responsible officers to reach agreement within such further period of ten
(10) days shall be escalated promptly to the parties’ chief executive officers.

 

Any agreed
recovery plan and/or any agreement reached between the parties’ chief executive
officers shall be incorporated into this Contract by amendment pursuant to
Article 31 within five (5) days of such agreement.

 

3.               If the chief executive officers are unable to agree upon an
acceptable recovery plan after a further period of ten (10) days from such
escalation, or such longer period as Inmarsat in its discretion may allow, and
if the Contractor does not demonstrate that the schedule can be recovered to
within such one hundred and eighty day period,

Inmarsat may
notify the Contractor that Inmarsat is treating the Contract as discharged for
anticipatory breach, with respect to all or part of the Work related to the
Spacecraft affected by the breach, and in that event Inmarsat may elect to
exercise one of the following remedies:

 

a.               Inmarsat may take over all or part of the Work affected by the
discharge, and proceed with the same to completion, by contract or otherwise
subject to it having paid the Contractor a fair and reasonable value for any
such Work it elects to take over.  For
this purpose, (i) Inmarsat may take possession of, and utilise in completing
the Work, such materials, equipment, and Technical Data and Information as may
be necessary therefor, and (ii) the licences granted pursuant to Article 13
shall continue to apply and shall extend to any use necessary to complete the
Work as aforesaid. The Contractor shall reimburse Inmarsat for any and all
increased costs reasonably incurred in completing the Work, up to a maximum of
****; or,

 

b.              With respect to any part of the Work affected by the discharge that
Inmarsat does not elect to take over and complete, the Contractor may retain
title to the Work, and shall reimburse Inmarsat for all amounts previously paid
for such Work, with interest at LIBOR calculated from the day following the
date of each payment by Inmarsat until the date of reimbursement, and shall
also be liable for any and all increased costs reasonably incurred by Inmarsat
in procuring alternative equipment and/or services.

 

4.               In the event that the parties cannot agree a fair and reasonable
value for the Work as envisaged in Paragraph A.3(a) of this Article within a
thirty (30) day period then either party may invoke Article 35 hereof entitled Arbitration.  At the time that Article 35 is invoked Inmarsat shall immediately
place the full disputed amount in an interest-bearing escrow account at Bank of
America, London England and the Contractor shall forthwith release to Inmarsat
all Work subject to the dispute.  Upon
presentation of a certificate duly signed by the authorised representatives of
both parties, or by the arbitrator if one party unreasonably refuses to sign
the certificate, confirming that the dispute has been settled, the bank shall
distribute the funds in accordance with the terms of the settlement, and the
interest earned shall be divided in direct proportion to such terms.

 

5.               If Inmarsat treats the Contract as discharged with respect to all of
the Work related to the Spacecraft affected by the breach, the remedies in
Paragraph A.(3) of this Article shall be Inmarsat’s exclusive remedies with
respect to such Spacecraft.  If Inmarsat
treats the Contract as discharged in part, the parties shall in good faith
renegotiate the applicability of other Articles of this Contract to the part of
the Work that is not treated as discharged.

2.               To forego having any of the deficiencies rectified, in which case
the parties shall in good faith negotiate the following:

 

a.               An equitable reduction in the prices specified in Article 5 hereof,
entitled Prices.  To the extent that Inmarsat has already made
payments in excess of the reduced prices, the Contractor shall refund the
excess,

 

b.              An appropriate limitation on the operation of Article 21 hereof,
entitled Spacecraft Performance
Incentives, to exclude the unrectified deficiencies from affecting such
incentives, PROVIDED that, if Inmarsat is compelled to forego rectifying the
deficiencies in order to avoid postponement of the Launch, the Contractor shall

successful completion of the Work.

 

B.    Such Key Personnel shall not be removed from the performance of the
Work UNLESS replaced with personnel of substantially equal qualifications and

Contractor to offer alternative candidates.

 

C.    Notwithstanding its role in reviewing Key Personnel and their
replacements,   Inmarsat shall have no
supervisory control over their performance, and nothing in this Article shall
relieve the Contractor of any of its obligations under this Contract, or of its
responsibility for any acts or omissions of its personnel.

 

Article 28                Key Subcontractors

 

A.    The Subcontractors identified in Annex I hereto, entitled Key Subcontractors, are essential for

shall be the subject of a Change Notice pursuant to Article 31, entitled Changes.

Article 31                Changes

 

A.    At any time during the period of this Contract, Inmarsat may request
changes in the Work, so long as such changes are within the general scope of
the Contract.  The Contractor may also
propose changes for consideration by Inmarsat.

 

B.    A change request from Inmarsat must be identified as such, must be
made or confirmed in writing, and must be signed by the responsible officer
identified in Paragraph A of Article 40 hereof, entitled Responsible Officers.  If any other conduct by the responsible
officer or any other representative of Inmarsat is construed by the Contractor
as possibly constituting a change request or an interpretation of the Contract
requirements inconsistent with the Contractor’s understanding of those
requirements, the Contractor shall promptly notify Inmarsat and request
clarification.

 

C.    All changes to the Contract requirements shall be subject to change
control, defined as the instrument for the preparation, evaluation, approval
and implementation of alterations to the Contract requirements.  The Contractor shall establish and maintain
a system for managing changes internally and with Subcontractors and suppliers,
which shall be described in the Change Management Plan, to be included in the
Programme Management Plan as specified in Section 5 of Annex A hereto, entitled
Statement of Work.

 

D.    Preliminary Change Assessment: Prior to a formal request for change,
the Contractor may provide at its own initiative, or shall provide to Inmarsat,
if so requested, a preliminary change assessment which includes:

 

1.     a brief description
of the change and possible consequences on other subsystems, or at system
level;

 

2.     for changes
initiated by the Contractor, the justification for the change, including the
explanation of the benefits deriving from the change;

 

3.     a Rough Order of
Magnitude (ROM) estimate of the cost impact of the change;

 

4.     the estimated
schedule impact; and

 

5.     other special
programmatic considerations.

 

Confidential

 

A - 33

 

If the preliminary change assessment has
been requested by Inmarsat, the Contractor shall respond within ten (10)
working days of Inmarsat’s request. 
Inmarsat will respond to a preliminary change assessment within ten (10)
working days either by submitting a formal change request, or by notifying the
Contractor that a change will not be requested.  Submittal of the change request is not, and shall not be
interpreted as, acceptance by Inmarsat of the Contractor’s preliminary change
assessment.

 

E.     After receiving a change request from Inmarsat, within fifteen (15)
days if such request does not involve input from a Subcontractor or up to
thirty (30) days if such input is required, the Contractor shall submit to
Inmarsat a Contract Change Notice (CCN) in accordance with the requirements of
Paragraph D of this Article.  On a
case-by-case basis, the Contractor may request a longer period to prepare the
CCN, but any request for such a longer period shall be made by the Contractor
within seven (7) days after the Contractor receives the change request.  Inmarsat shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to a request for such a longer period, taking into account the nature
of the change request, but Inmarsat may also take into account the impact of
such an extension on the performance schedule.

 

F.     Whether submitted in response to a change request initiated by
Inmarsat, or initiated by the Contractor, the CCN shall itemise, in a format
specified in Appendix 1 hereto, entitled Contract
Change Notice, any impact that the change would have on the technical
requirements, price, performance schedule, or other terms and conditions of
this Contract.  Where appropriate, the
CCN shall also suggest any revised language for the Contract, including any of
its Annexes, that would be necessary to implement the change. The period of validity
of a CCN proposal is sixty (60) calendar days from the date of submittal to
Inmarsat, UNLESS agreed otherwise.

 

G.    Any claim by the Contractor for adjustment of the technical
requirements, price, performance schedule, or other terms and conditions of
this Contract, attributable to a change, shall be deemed waived UNLESS asserted
in the CCN.

 

H.    If any materials or equipment are made obsolete as the result of the
change, Inmarsat shall be entitled to a credit to the extent that such
materials have resale, reuse, or salvage value to the Contractor or its
Subcontractors or suppliers.  If such
materials have no such resale, reuse, or salvage value, Inmarsat shall have the
right to prescribe their manner of disposition, subject to payment by Inmarsat
of the reasonable cost of such disposition.

 

I.      After Inmarsat receives a detailed CCN, and after any negotiations
with respect to the adjustments claimed by the Contractor, the following
outcomes are possible:

 

1.     Inmarsat may decide
not to proceed with implementation of the change and shall notify the
Contractor accordingly within the period of validity of the CCN, and pay the
reasonable costs of the Contractor in preparing such CCN requested by Inmarsat.

 

2.     Inmarsat may decide
to implement the change, in which case:

 

a.     If the parties have
reached agreement about the adjustments to be made in the Contract, the
Contractor shall proceed with implementation as agreed upon formal notification
from Inmarsat.

 

Confidential

 

A - 34

 

b.     If the parties are
unable to reach such an agreement, the provisions of Article 35 hereof,
entitled Arbitration, shall apply.

 

3.     Pending any
negotiations and/or arbitration, Inmarsat may direct the Contractor to proceed
with implementation of the change, subject to any adjustments subsequently
agreed or awarded.

 

J.     Inmarsat may also direct the Contractor to proceed with
implementation of a change prior to preparation of a complete CCN, subject to
any adjustments subsequently agreed or awarded. Inmarsat’s right to direct the
Contractor to proceed with implementation of a change pursuant to
Paragraph I.2 or Paragraph J of this Article shall be subject to the
Contractor’s ability to do so, taking into account the resources, facilities,
supplies, and services available to it, and shall also be subject to a
stipulated financial limit where there is a cost associated with such change.

 

K.    If, during the execution of the Contract, the Contractor desires to
depart from the requirements in the Contract for a specified item or a limited
number of items, a Request for Waiver (RFW) or a Request for Deviation (RFD),
whichever is applicable, shall be submitted for Inmarsat’s approval on the form
in Appendix 2 hereto, entitled Request
for Deviation/Waiver.

 

A Deviation is a written authorisation to
accept an item of equipment which is found to depart from specified
requirements but is nevertheless considered suitable for use “as is” or after
rework by an appropriate method.

 

A Waiver is a specified written
authorisation, granted prior to the manufacture of an item of equipment, to
depart from a particular performance or design requirement for a specified
number of items or specified period of time.

 

The Contractor shall submit a RFD/RFW to
Inmarsat for approval whenever a non-conformance to an Inmarsat-controlled
requirement is recommended for acceptance without rectification.  The Contractor shall promptly submit
supporting documentation or other evidence. 
Inmarsat shall endeavour to formally notify the Contractor of its
acceptance or rejection of the RFW/RFD within thirty (30) calendar days of its  receipt.

 

Inmarsat may require an offer of price
reduction as consideration for approval of the RFW/RFD on a case by case
basis.  Approval of a RFW/RFD does not
imply a change in the system performance requirements set forth in the Annexes
to the Contract, which can only be modified through the contract change
procedure.

B.    A sole arbitrator shall be appointed by the Court, UNLESS the
parties agree in a particular case that the tribunal should consist of more
than one arbitrator, or UNLESS the Court determines in view of all the
circumstances of the case that a three (3) member tribunal is appropriate.

 

C.    The place of arbitration shall be London, England.

 

D.    Responsibility for paying the costs of the arbitration, including the
costs incurred by the parties themselves in preparing and presenting their
cases, shall be apportioned by the tribunal.

 

E.     The award shall state the reasons upon which it is based.

 

F.     The award shall be final and binding on the parties as from the date
it is made.

 

G.    Judgement upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial
acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

 

H.    The parties recognise that the subject matter of this Contract is
unique, and that damages may not be adequate under some circumstances.  For these reasons, the parties agree that
the tribunal shall be empowered to decree specific performance.  Since it is possible that such a decree may
not be enforced by a court in which a party hereto may find it necessary to
seek enforcement of the arbitration decision, the parties expressly authorise
the tribunal to give an award in the nature of astreinte, which may be given concurrently with any decree for
specific performance as an alternative remedy.

Notes:

(1)   Required for all Qualification/Protoflight
equipment

(2)   The Platform PDR shall be at CDR level

(3)   “Delta CDR”, held at time of System CDR.

(4)   Combines SRQ and ADR

(5)   DDR

 

For the purpose
of design reviews, flight software shall be treated as a separate subsystem.

 

6.4.1        Preliminary
Design Review (PDR)

 

The System PDR
shall be conducted to allow the Contractor to satisfy Inmarsat formally of the
baseline design concept and the planned implementation.

 

This meeting
shall include reviews of the appropriate budgets and specification requirements
for system, subsystem and unit level and shall verify compliance with the
contract requirements.

 

This PDR shall
also establish the compatibility of the design with the external and internal
interfaces (Launch Vehicles, GSID, SDID etc).

 

In view of the
fact that the Platform is already qualified, the Platform aspects of the System
PDR should actually be at CDR level.

 

For new
equipment, PDR’s shall also be held at Subsystem and Equipment level to satisfy
Inmarsat of the baseline design concept, configuration, specification and
design for that item.  These PDR’s shall
include a

 

Confidential

 

A - 16

 

Specification
Traceability Review to establish the link back to the overall system level
requirements.

 

For equipment
which has already been qualified on other programmes and which is to be used
unchanged on Inmarsat-4, the PDR, CDR and MRR shall be combined into a single
review in order to authorise the start of manufacture for new equipment as
early as possible in the programme.  For
off-the-shelf equipment, the PDR and CDR shall be combined with the TRB to
verify its acceptability for the programme.

 

The PDR will be
deemed to be complete upon the completion and acceptance by Inmarsat of
resolution of major action items.

 

Sub-system
reviews may be combined with system level design reviews.

 

6.4.2        Critical
Design Review (CDR)

 

Critical design
reviews shall be held at Equipment level, Subsystem level and also at System
Level to allow the Contractor to formally satisfy Inmarsat of the final design
implementation and the compliance with the specification requirements, based
upon engineering model tests, design studies and analyses. These CDR’s shall
also verify the compatibility of the subsystem/system interfaces and other
agreed interfaces (e.g. the GSID).

 

For the Payload,
incremental CDR’s shall be held when the designs of key elements (e.g. SSPA’s,
DSP) reach sufficient maturity to allow manufacture to begin.

 

The adequacy of
subsequent acceptance test plans shall also be agreed at this meeting.

 

On completion of
a CDR, the agreed design shall be frozen and placed under formal configuration
control.

 

The CDR will be
deemed to be complete upon the completion and acceptance by Inmarsat of
resolution of major action items.

 

6.4.3        Final
Design Review (FDR)

 

At the system
FDR the Contractor shall formally satisfy Inmarsat on the readiness of the
Protoflight spacecraft for system level testing.

 

The FDR shall
establish the compliance of the spacecraft system to the specification
requirements based upon qualification or protoflight tests at equipment and
subsystem levels, using design analyses, system level budgets and studies.

 

This review
shall also establish the readiness of the system level test procedures and
software for availability two weeks prior to subsequent system level test
phases.

 

The FDR will be
deemed to be complete upon the completion and acceptance by Inmarsat of
resolution of major action items.

 

6.4.4        Manufacturing
Readiness Reviews (MRR)

 

Manufacturing
Readiness Reviews shall be working level meetings held prior to commencement of
manufacture of the first flight articles of each equipment for the Inmarsat-4
programme.

 

Confidential

 

A - 17

 

The MRR shall
consider, as a minimum:

 

•      the satisfactory
completion of all development work;

 

•      that approval has
been achieved for all parts, materials and processes;

 

•      that all drawings
and manufacturing facilities to be used have been approved by the Contractor’s
project team and, if necessary, Inmarsat; and

 

•      that all the
required parts, materials, processes, documentation and facilities are
available to begin manufacture.

 

6.4.5        Design
Review Organisation

 

6.4.5.1 Planning
Arrangements

 

In general,
PDR’s are targeted to determine the adequacy of flow-down of specification
requirements, hence the System Design Review should precede the Subsystem
reviews, which in turn shall precede the Equipment reviews.

 

The CDR’s are
intended to verify the adequacy of designs against these requirements, hence
the Equipment reviews shall precede the corresponding Subsystem reviews, which
should in turn precede the Communications Payload and Spacecraft System
reviews.

 

For new
equipment, CDR’s shall not be convened until the corresponding equipment,
subsystem or system PDR has been completed and all actions closed.  Communications Payload and Spacecraft System
Design Reviews represent major programme milestones, and hence shall be
arranged by the Contractor and co-chaired by the Contractor and Inmarsat
representatives.

 

For qualified
spacecraft platform equipment, the PDR, CDR, FDR and MRR shall be combined into
a single review, to be held in the same timeframe as the spacecraft PDR.

 

The Launch
Readiness Review shall be chaired by Inmarsat.

 

The outcome of
each of these major programme reviews will be summarised in a report to be
jointly agreed by Inmarsat and the Contractor.

 

6.4.5.2 Design
Review Data Packages

 

The basic
documentation required for programme design reviews is listed in the CDRL in
Appendix 5 to this Statement of Work. Data packages for minor reviews shall be
delivered to Inmarsat two weeks prior to the review, but for other major
reviews including those for the Communications Payload, the Spacecraft System
and other reviews requiring major input from non-Resident Inmarsat staff
members and consultants, data packages are required to be delivered at least
two (2) weeks prior to the review.

 

6.4.5.3 On-Board
Flight Software Design Reviews

 

The Software
Requirements Review (SRR) shall verify all software requirements are fully
defined in the Flight Software Requirements document.  The Requirements Document shall also define all performance,
interface, operational, resource and verification requirements for the flight
software.  The SRR is the first part of
the Flight Software PDR.

 

An Architectural
Design Review (ADR) shall be conducted to allow the contractor to satisfy
Inmarsat formally of the Architectural Design concept. The

 

Confidential

 

A - 18

 

review shall
also verify that the Flight Software Architectural Design Document (ADD) is
complete and correct. The ADD shall define the major components of the software
and all interfaces between them. The ADD shall also define all external
interfaces. A preliminary resource analysis (worst case timing, memory
utilisation) shall be presented at ADR. A prerequisite to this review is a
successfully completed Software Requirement Review. The Architectural Design
Review is the second part of the Flight Software PDR.

 

The Detailed
Design Review (DDR) shall be conducted to allow the contractor to satisfy
Inmarsat formally of the Flight Software Detailed Design. The review shall also
verify that the Detailed Design Document (DDD) is complete and correct. The DDD
shall describe the software to the bottom-level components. All interfaces
between components as well as external interfaces are to be completely
defined.  Software components shall be
described in detail, using Program Design Language or equivalent. The DDD shall
include a matrix tracing all requirements in the Software Requirements Document
to the Detailed Design implementation. Informal design walkthroughs prior to
the review may be a useful way to facilitate an effective DDR.  An updated resource analysis shall be
presented at the Detailed Design Review. The Software Requirement Document and
the Architectural Design Document shall be updated prior to the DDR to reflect
any changes since ADR. The Detailed Design Review is equivalent to the Flight
Software CDR.

 

The software
design must be mature at the time of Detailed Design Review and no software
design changes are to be expected. Should any unforeseen changes occur after
the Detailed Design Review, additional reviews addressing these changes have to
be held prior to the Software Test Readiness Review. Formally these reviews
will be part of the Detailed Design Review and the same design review and
documentation requirements apply.  The
Detailed Design Document shall be updated to reflect all changes to the flight
software.

 

All flight
software documentation updates must be completed prior to the Software Test
Readiness Review. The actual resource utilisation is to be presented at
Software Test Readiness Review. A matrix shall also be presented tracing how
individual requirements in the Software Requirement Document are verified in
specific Flight Software acceptance tests.

The Spacecraft Performance Incentive Factor
determines the percentage of performance incentives earned in any quarter, based
on the lowest value for the Spacecraft Performance Incentive Factor in that
quarter.

 

The Spacecraft Performance Incentive Factor
shall be determined on a quarterly basis, using measurements and analysis
supplied by Inmarsat to the Contractor. 
The Contractor shall be given the opportunity to review and
independently validate such data on test measurements, tolerances and setup
characteristics and to recommend alterations to operational procedures.

 

Should Inmarsat elect not to make
measurements, the Spacecraft Performance Incentive Factor in respect of any
parameter shall be deemed to be 100 %.

 

In determining Satisfactory Performance, no
account shall be taken of any period of unavailability that is:

 

a)              attributable to Satellite operator error, payload reconfiguration
for business purposes or station change maneuvers; or

 

b)             less than one one-hundredth percent (0.01%) outage per quarter; or

 

c)              attributable to communications link fading due to external causes;
or

 

d)             extraneous events outside of the control of the contractor; or

 

e)              attributable to earth station sun blinding.

19.3.8            The
Launch Risk Refund Protection will attach upon Launch and will terminate upon
the earliest to occur of (a) a Total Failure or Constructive Total Failure, (b)
Partial Failure, or (c) Satellite Separation. Damage to the Satellite following
Satellite Separation but caused by the Launch Vehicle shall be deemed to have
occurred prior to Satellite Separation for purposes of Launch Risk Refund
Protection.

 

19.3.9            Customer
will at all times act with due diligence and will do all things practicable and
reasonable to avoid or diminish any loss or degradation of the lifetime or
operational capability of the Satellite. Prior to Launch, Customer will provide
to Contractor all information including, but not limited to, Satellite
specifications, operating conditions, performance parameters and changes
thereto that could materially affect the risk of loss of or damage to the
Satellite or Launch Vehicle, as well as all amendments to the contract for the
procurement of the Satellite. Both before and after Launch, Customer will
respond to all reasonable written requests by Contractor for information and/or
certifications relating to Satellite design, test and quality control. If the
Customer’s Satellite specifications, operating conditions, performance parameters
and/or changes thereto and such changes affect the risk of loss of or damage to
the Satellite or the Launch Vehicle, then Contractor shall be entitled to
renegotiate the terms of this Article 19, including but not limited to a change
in the fees chargeable for such Launch Risk Refund Protection, or to terminate
such protection and return all fees paid to date for such protection to
Customer, subject to evidence that such risk cannot be insured and, if
insurable at a higher cost, that the Customer has elected not to pay such
costs.  If any fee chargeable for Launch
Risk Refund Protection results from a change of Customer’s Satellite
specifications, operating conditions or performance parameters and such changes
affect the risk of loss in a less than material manner, Contractor shall be
responsible for the increased fee.

 

19.3.10          In
the event Customer believes a Total Failure, Constructive Total Failure or
Partial Failure has occurred for which it is entitled to a Launch Risk Refund
Protection as applicable hereunder, Customer shall give written notice of the
occurrence to Contractor as soon as possible, but in no event later than the
earlier of (a) sixty (60) days after a Corporate Officer or Director of
Customer becomes aware of the occurrence or (b) one hundred and eighty (180)
days after the termination of risk specified in Paragraph 19.4.1. If Customer
believes the occurrence entitles it to claim a Launch Risk Refund Protection as
applicable hereunder, Customer shall

deliver to Contractor a sworn and notarized proof of loss in such form
and including such information as Contractor may reasonably require and request
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred thirty-five
(135) days after the delivery of the notice of occurrence.   Upon completion of investigation or review
of the cause or effects of the loss or failure, Customer shall provide to
Contractor any final official report resulting from such investigation or
review, and produce for inspection and copying all pertinent records, invoices,
receipts, contracts and any other documentation available to Customer to
support the loss.

 

19.3.11          In
the event that any Refund associated with the Launch Risk Refund Protection
hereunder, whether total or partial, is made to Customer and it is later
determined that the anticipated degradation of the lifetime or operational
capability of the Satellite is reduced or eliminated, Customer will return to
Contractor, within forty five (45) days of such determination, (a) the entire
Refund amount in the event that the anticipated degradation of the lifetime or
operational capability of the Satellite is eliminated, or (b) an amount such
that the Refund retained by Customer equals the amount that would have been
paid for the extent of degradation as revised in the event that anticipated
degradation of the lifetime or operational capability of the Satellite is
reduced, less any cost reasonably incurred to restore the Satellite lifetime or
operational capability.

 

19.3.12                    In the event that a Launch Service is declared a
Constructive Total Failure or Partial Failure and a Refund is provided by
Contractor associated with this Launch Risk Refund Protection, Contractor shall
be entitled to a pro rata salvage value of the Satellite (taking into account
other insured interests) to the extent of such Refund. Salvage value shall
extend to any revenues or equivalent goods and services and other proceeds
derived from the sale, lease or other use or disposal of the Satellite or any
affected portion thereof.

 

19.3.13          Customer’s
right to a Launch Risk Refund Protection or Refund shall be void if (a) the
Customer conceals or misrepresents, in writing or otherwise, any material fact
or circumstance concerning this Launch Risk Refund Protection, or (b) the
Customer defrauds or attempts to defraud Contractor or its insurers, whether
before or after a loss.

19.5         Failure Review
Board(s)
In the event of a suspected Partial Failure, Total Failure or Constructive
Total Failure, implementation of this Article 19 shall be based on the findings
of the Launch Service Failure Review Board. Customer may elect to form, at its
sole and unilateral discretion, a Satellite Failure Review Board.  Such Satellite Failure Review Board shall be
permitted to provide data, analyses, and other information to the Launch
Service Failure Review Board that the Launch Service Failure Review Board shall
consider, if relevant to the determination of launch vehicle performance, in
its findings.  Customer will be entitled
to present findings/evidence of the Satellite Failure Review Board in the event
of a material disagreement with respect to the determination of facts or
conclusions of the Boards with regard to whether a Partial, Total or
Constructive Failure occurred.  Customer
will receive notice of the findings of the Launch Service Failure Review Board
and Contractor shall receive notice of the Satellite Failure Review Board from
Customer. If Contractor has not already convened a Failure Review Board to
evaluate a suspected Total Failure, Constructive Total Failure or Partial Failure,
then Customer may give written notice to Contractor requesting that a Failure
Review Board be convened.

 

19.5.1            The
Launch Service Failure Review Board shall consist of those technical
disciplines determined by Contractor to be necessary to assess the failure, its
cause and necessary corrective action, if any, required for future launches.
Customer may provide representation to the Launch Service Failure Review Board,
but such representation shall be limited to data review, consultation and
recommendation only. Customer will provide evidence of the damage, if any, to
the Satellite as a result of the failure. The Launch Service Failure Review
Board shall make a determination

of whether there has been a Partial Failure, Total Failure or
Constructive Total Failure.

 

19.5.2            If
convened by the Customer, The Satellite Failure Review Board shall consist of
those technical disciplines determined by Customer to be necessary to determine
functionality of the satellite and cause or any degredation. Contractor may
provide representation to the Satellite Failure Review Board, but such
representation shall be limited to data review, consultation and recommendation
only. Contractor will provide evidence as to the performance of the Launch Vehicle.  Data, analyses, and other information may be
provided by the Satellite Failure Review Board to the Launch Service Failure
Review Board if, in the reasonable determination of the Satellite Failure
Review Board, such information will or may have a bearing on the determination
of the Launch Service Review Board.  Any
such data, analyses, and other information shall be provided in writing.

 

19.5.3            In
the event the Launch Service Failure Review Board fails to render a decision
within ninety (90) days of the Launch or Customer and Contractor do not
otherwise reach mutual agreement as to occurrence of a Total Failure,
Constructive Total Failure or Partial Failure, or in the event Customer or
Contractor disagrees with the findings of the Launch Service Failure Review
Boards, both Customer and Contractor shall promptly and without undue delay,
each appoint an expert in the field who is independent from both Customer or
Contractor. The two (2) experts shall appoint a third expert who is independent
from both Customer and Contractor.  In
the event the experts fail to agree upon appointment of a third expert within
thirty (30) days of written notice by Customer and Contractor to appoint a
third expert, Customer and Contractor agree to allow The International Chamber
of Commerce to select such third expert. The three (3) experts shall review all
of the materials provided to the Failure Review Board and, following this
review, transmit their findings in writing to Customer and Contractor at the
same time. All decisions of this panel of three experts shall be by majority
vote. Customer and Contractor agree to be bound by the findings and/or
appraisal of the three (3) experts provided for under this Article or, if the
first two experts should disagree, by the majority vote of the three experts
provided for under this Article. Customer and Contractor shall each be
responsible for the cost of the selection and use of their respective appointed
expert, and both Customer and Contractor shall share equally the cost of the
selection and use of the third expert. The panel of three experts if
