RECITALS

 

4.             THURAYA
has procured two L-Band geosynchronous satellites.  The Primary Satellite will be located at 44°
East Longitude and be ready for service by the fourth quarter of 2000, or such
later date as may be notified by THURAYA to INMARSAT.  THURAYA intends to use the Satellites to
provide voice, fax, and data services via THURAYA terminals within the THURAYA
Coverage Area.  The orbital location of
28.5° East Longitude has been coordinated for the Spare Satellite.

 

5.             INMARSAT
has procured its fourth generation of L-Band geostationary satellites (“INMARSAT-4”) and intends to locate one of them at 65° East
Longitude, to be ready for service in 2004. 
INMARSAT intends to use the INMARSAT-4 satellites to provide a range of
services, including Packet-Switched PMC Services.

 

6.             The
purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions of the Lease
under which THURAYA will provide capacity on its Satellite to INMARSAT to
enable INMARSAT to start offering INMARSAT-branded PMC Services within the
THURAYA Coverage Area defined as per ANNEX 3, during the interim period before
the INMARSAT-4 satellite to be located in this region is ready for service.

 

DURATION OF LEASE

 

7.             Subject
to Article 8, THURAYA agrees to lease, up to *** Subbands of its Satellite
capacity to INMARSAT in accordance with Article 8 and ANNEX 2 for the purposes
of the provision by INMARSAT of the PMC Services. The Lease shall be for a term
of two years, commencing on the Lease 
Commencement Date and terminating on the Lease Termination Date.  Extension of the term of the Lease shall be
subject to the mutual agreement of the parties.

TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL

 

8.             The
minimum number of Subbands leased by INMARSAT will, as on the Lease
Commencement Date, be *** and remains at that level during the first six months
of the Lease, and shall be increased to *** Subbands thereafter.  INMARSAT will be entitled to add Subbands up
to a total of *** in increments of five or multiples of five at any time, by
giving THURAYA 15 days notice.  If
INMARSAT increases its minimum commitment to *** Subbands by the first
anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, INMARSAT will be entitled to add
Subbands up to a total of ***; subject to maintenance by INMARSAT of such increased
minimum commitment at the *** Subbands level. 
INMARSAT may request further capacity beyond *** Subbands, and THURAYA
may, at its discretion, consider meeting such request. The number of the
Subbands that INMARSAT will be entitled to use in each Spot Beam within the
THURAYA Coverage Area will be in accordance with ANNEX 2.  Each Subband will have a maximum of *** kHz
bandwidth and other parameters as defined in ANNEX 2.

 

9.             The
Subbands leased by INMARSAT will be dynamically allocated by the THURAYA AOC to
the appropriate Spot Beam within the THURAYA Coverage Area in response to
requests from the SAS. INMARSAT will establish its own SAS for the RF interface
to the THURAYA Satellite and connectivity to terrestrial networks, and the
associated numbering scheme for routing calls. 
INMARSAT UTs will use THURAYA’s call set-up process in Dark Beams for
registration purposes only.  When the
THURAYA System identifies that the call request relates to an INMARSAT UT, the
INMARSAT SAS will be notified for further processing.  The technical interface between INMARSAT’s
SAS and THURAYA’s Satellite and PGW, and the operational protocols and
procedures for Spot Beam access, power management, resource allocation,
interference management, and other operation and maintenance aspects, will be
in accordance with ANNEX 2.

 

10.           THURAYA
will provide the Lease capacity with Availability as specified in ANNEX 2. Any
periods of unavailability of the Lease capacity attributable to the following
circumstances shall not be taken into account in measuring Availability: 

 

(a)                                  Force
Majeure events as defined in Article 48;

 

(b)                                 INMARSAT
operator-induced error(s);

 

(c)                                  Momentary
disruptions due to automatic switchover of failed equipment;

 

(d)                                 Scheduled
maintenance, tests, or upgrades including software and/or hardware, provided
that such periods of unavailability affect INMARSAT’s PMC Services and
THURAYA’s services equally;

 

3

 

(e)                                  Failure
of INMARSAT-provided facilities, including DC and AC power systems;

 

(f)                                    Failure
of the DC and AC power systems;

 

(g)                                 Outage
due to Satellite anomalies, including payload or bus failure, attitude control
failure;

 

(h)                                 Weather-related
phenomena, including but not limited to sun outages, rain fades; and

 

(i)                                     Mobile
band propagation environment and INMARSAT UTs.

 

11.           This
Agreement is not specific to THURAYA’s Primary Satellite.  If that satellite is not successfully
launched and deployed into its intended orbital location, or if after
successful deployment THURAYA decides to replace it with the Spare Satellite
because of performance degradation, the Lease capacity will be provided on the
latter during the currency of the Lease.

 

12.           INMARSAT
will establish its own BSS to be used for billing its PMC Services.

 

13.           THURAYA
is responsible for managing procurement, launch, and operation of its
Satellites and PGW, including the AOC-SOC. 
THURAYA will, upon request from INMARSAT and subject to applicable
export control restrictions, provide to INMARSAT limited information relevant
to the ready-for-service date, technical performance of the Lease capacity, and
technical and operational interfaces with INMARSAT facilities. THURAYA will
give prompt notice of any potential problems on an ad hoc basis.

 

14.           For
the purposes of use of its PMC Services to be supplied using THURAYA Satellite,
INMARSAT shall not authorize INMARSAT Users and/or Outlets to transmit into the
THURAYA Satellite with any apparatus other than a type- approved UT.

 

15.           INMARSAT
shall be responsible for obtaining the necessary type approval for PMC Services
UTs and for service activation of the said UTs. The RF interface of such UTs to
the THURAYA Satellite will be in accordance with ANNEX 2. INMARSAT PMC UTs
shall operate in accordance with the limits specified in ANNEX 2.  If THURAYA identifies any PMC UT that is not
operating in accordance with such limits and so notifies INMARSAT, INMARSAT
shall promptly isolate that UT and suspend access to the Satellite until the
problem is resolved.

 

16.           THURAYA
may suspend access to the Satellite if the SAS exceeds the parameters specified
in ANNEX 2 or causes harm to THURAYA’s services, or if necessary and
unavoidable because of technical problems in the Satellite or PGW.  In any case, THURAYA will consult with INMARSAT
to mitigate the impact before implementing any

 

4

 

suspension, unless there is an operational
requirement that does not allow time for consultations.

 

17.           THURAYA shall be entitled at any time to improve, suspend, change, test,
maintain or repair its System or any part thereof, and to interrupt the PMC
Services for such purposes without incurring any liability or obligation
towards INMARSAT in the way of outage credits, or INMARSAT Users and/or Outlets.
THURAYA will give INMARSAT as much notification of any interruption or material
changes to its System as practicable in the circumstances and will use all
reasonable endeavours to disrupt the PMC Services as little as practicable.

 

18.           For a period of six months prior to the Lease Commencement Date,
THURAYA will make *** Subbands available to INMARSAT for testing for the
purposes of Article 9.  For the purposes
of this Article 18, INMARSAT shall provide THURAYA with a test plan and test
schedule prior to such testing, and shall be responsible for implementation of
the same. To the extent the PGW and any GSs are involved in such testing,
INMARSAT and THURAYA will agree on the testing plans and objectives and THURAYA
will cooperate in the testing and use reasonable efforts to arrange the
participation of any necessary GS operators. INMARSAT shall indemnify and
reimburse THURAYA of all costs and expenses of such testing including, charges
for allocated Subbands, save access to THURAYA software centre, in accordance
with ANNEX 4.

 

19.           One year prior to the Lease
Commencement Date, INMARSAT will provide THURAYA with such staff training to
the extent necessary for the testing and cooperation required for the operation
by INMARSAT of the Lease capacity, and agrees to provide THURAYA with quarterly
reports on its preparations for using the THURAYA Satellite and on the likely
ready-for-service date of the INMARSAT-4 satellite.

 

20.           The
parties will agree on a maintenance plan with respect to all interfaces between
their respective facilities. The maintenance plan shall be developed and agreed
by the parties one-year prior to the Lease Commencement Date.

 

21.           Where
there is abnormal demand for utilization of a Hot Spot, such as locations where
a natural disaster, civil disturbance, or war stimulates demand from
journalists or aid workers, and if THURAYA elects to concentrate power in such
Hot Spot, INMARSAT will be entitled to as many Subbands in that Hot Spot as can
be accommodated in THURAYA’s frequency plan, subject to the priority of
THURAYA’s services, and provided that the total number of Subbands allocated to
INMARSAT on the Satellite does not exceed the number leased pursuant to Article
8.

REGULATORY

 

22.           THURAYA
will be responsible for compliance with all regulatory requirements applicable
to the Satellites and PGW, including coordination and registration of the
orbital slots and spectrum in accordance with the regulations of the
International Telecommunication Union, registration with the United Nations in
accordance with the 1974 Convention on Registration of Objects Launched Into
Outer Space.

 

23.           INMARSAT
will be responsible for obtaining any licences and complying with any other
regulatory requirements applicable to provision of its PMC Services, including
but not limited to testing, using the THURAYA Satellite. It is agreed that
INMARSAT shall not provide the PMC Services in any jurisdiction where the
licences and regulatory requirements referred to in this Article 23 have not
been obtained, and undertakes promptly upon notification by THURAYA, to suspend
the Lease capacity and/or isolate any UT operating in any jurisdiction where
any of the said regulatory approvals and licences have not been obtained. In any
jurisdiction where the regulator imposes a spectrum utilization fee, INMARSAT
or its respective service providers, will bear a proportion of such fee to the
extent attributable to the PMC Services.

 

24.           INMARSAT shall bear the cost and
disbursements of any new ITU filing which may be required for the additional
emissions and type of stations. INMARSAT shall report to THURAYA on a regular
basis the status of progress in the regulatory activities referred to in
Article 23 above and this Article  24. Both parties
agree to mutual cooperation and coordination in spectrum sharing meetings (“Regional Operators Review Meeting(s)” or “ORM(s)” in order to obtain additional spectrum assigned to
THURAYA for the PMC Services as may be required for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

25.           Each
party will be responsible for complying with any export controls applicable to
technical information that it discloses to the other party pursuant to this
Agreement.

 

COMMERCIAL

 

26.           Subject
to Article 27 below, the charge for each of the committed Subbands referred to
in Article 8 above, and for each additional Subband, will be *** per year.
THURAYA will invoice INMARSAT on a quarterly basis at the beginning of each
calendar quarter starting on the Lease Commencement Date, and INMARSAT shall
make payment within 30 calendar days after receiving THURAYA’s invoice.

 

27.           The
minimum Lease duration of any additional Subbands ordered beyond the minimum
commitment referred to in Article 8 is one full year effective the date of
providing the ordered Subbands or until the Lease Termination Date, whichever
occurs first. Initially ordered Subbands 
on Lease Commencement Date will be subject to the corresponding discount
as set out in ANNEX 4. If additional Subbands

 

6

 

are ordered during the term of the Lease,
the following principles apply: -

 

a)             The
applicable discount is the one corresponding to the total number of the
dedicated Subbands as set out in ANNEX 4.

 

b).           The
applicable discount, if any, is only applied to the newly ordered Subbands at
any time. However, such discount will be applied to the total number of
Subbands that have completed at least one full year from the date of provision.

 

28.           1. To
the extent that THURAYA does not maintain the Availability of the Lease
capacity in accordance with Article 10 above, INMARSAT will be entitled to
outage credits.  The parties will agree
on a methodology for tracking and measuring Availability one year prior to the
launch of PMC Services on the THURAYA System. 
Within thirty calendar days after the end of each year of the Lease
period, the parties will jointly review the data and determine the aggregate
outage time when the specified Availability was not met.  The total amount of the charges paid or payable
by INMARSAT pursuant to Articles 26-27 above for the relevant year will be
prorated to derive an average aggregate charge per minute. The outage credit
will be calculated by multiplying the aggregate time when the specified
Availability was not met multiplied by the derived average aggregate charge per
minute. If outage time measured over one full year exceeds 421 minutes,
INMARSAT will be entitled to outage credits. Outage credits payable by THURAYA
to INMARSAT under this Article 28 shall at no time exceed ***% of the total
charges payable by INMARSAT to THURAYA under Articles 26-27 above for the
relevant year.

 

2. It is agreed that the outage credits or
reimbursements in this Article 28 shall be INMARSAT’s exclusive remedy in
respect of outages in Availability of the Lease capacity. THURAYA will pay such
outage credit to INMARSAT within thirty calendar days after the parties have
agreed on the amount.  In the event of
any dispute about the amount, THURAYA will pay the undisputed portion of the
outage credit within this thirty-day period, and make payment of disputed
balances after resolution of the dispute.

 

29.           The
charges referred to in Article 26 above shall be applicable notwithstanding the
state of readiness of launch of INMARSAT’s PMC Services.

 

30.           1. In
addition to the charges referred to in Article 26 above, INMARSAT shall pay
THURAYA and its GS operators all costs they incur to modify their facilities or
the THURAYA System to accommodate this Lease of capacity to INMARSAT, including
any such System or facility modification or any other costs attributable to the
implementation and support of INMARSAT’s PMC Services provided that INMARSAT is
given notice of such costs before they are

 

7

 

incurred. For the purposes of this Article
30, testing and implementation costs are quantified as per ANNEX 4 (Charging
Principles). It is agreed that charges relating to the ***, identified under
Paragraph 5.3 and Paragraph 5.4 of Annex 2, to the *** and *** and costs
related to the evaluation of *** shall be paid by INMARSAT upon prompt demand
by THURAYA. For the avoidance of doubt, INMARSAT's obligation under this
Article 30.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason
whatsoever.

 

2. THURAYA does not warrant or make any
representations as to the technical feasibility of the necessary modifications
required by INMARSAT or the implementation period thereof by HUGHES; and
reserves the right, notwithstanding Articles 39-41 below, to terminate this Agreement
by a written notice in writing in the event INMARSAT fails to pay the ***
referred to in Article ***.

LEGAL

 

35.           For
the purposes of this Article 35, the term confidential information (“Confidential Information”) includes information disclosed by
one party to the other in documentary or other tangible form if conspicuously
marked as CONFIDENTIAL or PROPRIETARY or with words having a similar meaning,
and information disclosed orally if the disclosing party identifies it as
confidential at the time of oral disclosure and follows up with a properly
marked written summary within 15 days. 
The party receiving such Confidential Information will safeguard it, use
it only in connection with implementation of this Agreement, not disclose it
outside of its company without the consent of the providing party, and will
limit dissemination within its company to those who have a need to know.  Such obligations will continue with respect
to each item of Confidential Information for a period of three years from the
date of initial disclosure to the receiving party, even if this Agreement is

will not apply to any item of Confidential Information that was developed
independently by the receiving party or lawfully received from a third party
not under an obligation of confidentiality, or comes into the public domain
through no fault of the receiving party.

 

36.           The
parties agree that there shall be no contractual relationship pursuant to this
Agreement between THURAYA, on the one hand, and, on the other, INMARSAT Users
and Outlets of INMARSAT’s PMC Services.

 

37.           THURAYA gives no
representations, warranties, or guarantees about its Satellite, PGW, or
spectrum necessary for the Lease, being available or the regulatory approvals
referred to in Article 22 being obtained by the Lease Commencement Date.

Outlets of the PMC Services as shall at all times include a provision that
THURAYA shall not be liable to the said Users and/or Outlets in any
circumstances whatsoever for loss of profits, business revenue, goodwill,
anticipated savings, special, indirect or consequential damages or loss.

 

39.           In the
event of a breach of this Agreement, the aggrieved party will give the
breaching party notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the breach,
generally 30 days unless the parties agree that the circumstances justify a
different period.  If the breach is not
cured within that period, then the matter in question shall be deemed a dispute
and shall be referred to resolution under Article 40 below.

 

40.           Any
disputes between the parties arising under this Agreement that cannot be
resolved by the Responsible Officers identified in Article 31 above or their
nominees, within 30 days may be referred by either party to arbitration, to be
conducted in London by the LCIA and under LCIA rules, with U.A.E  law governing, and
the result of such arbitration

 

9

 

will be final and binding on the
parties.  Each party will bear its own
costs of preparation for and participation in the arbitration, but the costs
for the services of the LCIA will be borne by the losing party.

 

41.           Either
party may at any time by notice in writing terminate this Agreement after
consultation and with reasonable notice, if the other party (or an entity which
substantially performs the functions of that other party) shall at any time
have become bankrupt or have taken any corporate action or have any other steps
taken against it for its winding up, dissolution or reorganisation by reason of
its financial condition or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator,
administrative receiver or similar officer over all or any of its assets or
revenues, or otherwise affording it protection from creditors.

 

42.           Under
no circumstances will THURAYA be under any liability whatsoever to INMARSAT’s
contracting and/or third parties (including, but not limited to INMARSAT Users
and/or INMARSAT Outlets of the PMC Services); and INMARSAT will be responsible
for and indemnify THURAYA against any such liability.

 

43.           INMARSAT
will indemnify THURAYA with respect to any third party cause of action
attributable to INMARSAT’s use of the THURAYA Satellite, INMARSAT side of the
interface with these facilities or any other matter connected with the
provision and/or distribution of the PMC Services, including actions for
defamation, infringement of copyright, patents, or other intellectual property
rights, or violation of any applicable law or regulation.  INMARSAT will, at its own expense, assume responsibility
for the defence, provided that THURAYA must give INMARSAT prompt notice of any
such claim, must not settle or compromise the claim, and must provide such
cooperation to INMARSAT, at INMARSAT’s expense, as is reasonably necessary for
the defence of the claim.

 

44.           To the
extent any patent or other intellectual property licenses are required by
INMARSAT for the purposes of this Agreement, use by INMARSAT Users, and
distribution by INMARSAT Outlets, of the PMC Services, THURAYA hereby grants to
INMARSAT a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license for the duration of
this Agreement, and also authorizes INMARSAT to grant sub-licenses on the same
terms.

 

45.           When
developing its distribution plans, INMARSAT will take into account THURAYA’s
unique capabilities and will consider offering THURAYA an opportunity to act as
a distributor of INMARSAT’s PMC Services, subject to mutual agreement and on
terms and conditions no less favourable than those offered to any other
distributor (the so-called Most Favoured Nation principle).

 

46.           Neither
party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; except that INMARSAT may
make an assignment to a subsidiary of INMARSAT Ventures Ltd, provided INMARSAT
and the assigning

 

10

 

party shall continue to be liable to the
other as guarantor of performance by the assignee.

 

47.           This
Agreement does not establish any joint venture or partnership between THURAYA
and INMARSAT, or constitute one party as the agent of the other, and, to the
extent permissible under this Agreement, neither party will be responsible to
third parties for the acts or omissions of the other party.

 

48.           Neither
party will be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this
Agreement if such failure is due to Force Majeure events beyond its reasonable
control, including, but not limited to launch failure, delay or non-launch of
the Satellites by reason of non-availability of the launch vehicle for technical
reasons or any other reason, acts of God, extreme adverse weather conditions,
war, terrorism, general strikes, and government action or inaction.

 

49.           If any
provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be
severed from and not invalidate any of the remaining provisions in the

provision to achieve as closely as possible the same intended effect.

 

50.           Each
party acknowledges that it negotiated and executed this Agreement in good faith
with the aim of incorporating the intent, principles, concepts and covenants of
the venture under this Agreement, and therefore, agree that either party may
seek to modify this Agreement and/or annexures by serving a written notice (the
“Review Notice”) on the other setting
out in sufficient detail the subject matter of and justification for the
review. The parties undertake to negotiate in good faith promptly upon service
of the Review Notice with a view to agreeing the necessary modifications to the
Agreement.

 

51.           If it
is provided for by any provision of this Agreement that THURAYA and INMARSAT
shall agree or contemplate agreeing any matter or thing after the date of
signature hereof, they shall in endeavouring to agree such matter or thing, be
under a duty to act in utmost good faith to one another.

 

52.           Neither
party shall be liable to the other for special, direct, or consequential
damages, including loss of profits, business revenue, goodwill, anticipated
savings, and/or other loss.

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

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 Schedule.  Moreover, any failure of Inmarsat

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

 

Confidential

Contractor and its Subcontractors, it shall 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

 

Confidential

 

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 period.

A.    With respect to all deliverable
equipment other than Software (but including the media containing the Software)
identified in Appendix 3 of Annex A hereto, entitled Statement of

B.    Title and risk of loss of or
damage to each Spacecraft shall pass to Inmarsat at Lift-Off, 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 for in Article 20 hereof,
entitled Remedies for Exceeding Specified Mass, title
and risk of loss shall pass in accordance with Paragraph 9 of Article 33B
hereof, entitled Option to Store  Spacecraft.

 

C.    Title (other than in Software but
including the media containing the Software) and risk of loss of or damage to
any deliverable equipment other than the Spacecraft shall pass to Inmarsat upon
Final Acceptance in accordance with Article 9, entitled Final
Acceptance, except for the TT&C Suitcase Simulator, for which
title shall pass to Inmarsat upon delivery to Inmarsat in accordance with the
requirements of Appendix 3 of Annex A hereto, entitled Deliverable
Equipment and Services.

 

D.    The risk of loss of or damage to
any equipment delivered by Inmarsat to the Contractor shall remain with the

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 for in Article 20 hereof, entitled Remedies for
Exceeding Specified Mass, the warranty shall run in accordance with
Paragraph B(10) of Article 33 hereof, entitled Option
to Store Spacecraft. The warranty for
all deliverable equipment and Software, other than Spacecraft, shall commence
at the time of Final Acceptance for a duration of  one
(1) year except that the warranty for the Payload Control System Software shall
extend until one (1) year following successful completion of the
PCS-to-Satellite Compatibility Test.  The
warranty for services shall commence upon their completion for a duration of
one (1) year.

 

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

directly affected 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 Lift-Off, or of other items deliverable under this
Contract after Final Acceptance.

Article 16                Disclaimer
of Liability at Launch Site

 

A.    With respect to loss of or damage
to property, or personal injury or death, arising out of activities at the
Launch site, both parties agree to enter into any inter-party waiver of liability
that is required in connection with each Launch Vehicle.

 

In addition to any agreements required in connection
with each Launch Vehicle, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Article 15 hereof, entitled Loss and Damage Indemnity,
the parties hereby waive any claims against each other arising out of
activities at the Launch site, EXCEPT that risk of loss of or damage to the
Spacecraft shall continue to be governed by Article 10 hereof, entitled Title and Assumption of Risk.

 

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 *** (***) 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 *** of the

amount to which it would have been entitled 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 *** 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.

 

F.     If Inmarsat accepts the
conclusion of the report, being a Negative Conclusion, or if Inmarsat has
rejected the conclusion of the report and the chief executive officers are
unable to agree upon an acceptable recovery plan within a further ten (10) days
from escalation to the chief executive officers under sub-paragraph (3) above,
Inmarsat shall issue forthwith a written notice to the Contractor of *** and
either:

 

1.     if the failure to obtain or maintain any
Key Authorisation is due to the Contractor’s default or lack of due diligence,
Article 24 hereof, entitled Inmarsat’s Other Remedies
for Breach, shall apply; or

 

2.     if the failure to obtain or maintain any Key
Authorisation is for reasons other than due to the Contractor’s default or lack
of due diligence then the Contractor shall refund any and all monies paid to it
by Inmarsat following which neither Inmarsat nor the Contractor shall have any
further liability to each other in respect of the performance of Work.

 

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 agree a recovery plan under
sub-paragraphs D or E above, any failure to obtain or maintain a Key
Authorisation identified in the report shall be deemed cured so long as the
Contractor complies with any agreed recovery plan.

H.    If following the acceptance of a
Positive Conclusion or the agreement of a recovery plan under Paragraph G
above, the Contractor fails due to its default or lack of due diligence to

agreed recovery plan such that the Contractor will be unable to deliver any
Spacecraft within *** (***) days after the due date for delivery specified in
Article 4 hereof, entitled Performance Schedule,

entitled Corrections in Unlaunched Spacecraft,
Article 17 hereof, entitled Consequences of Force

I.      If following the acceptance of a
Positive Conclusion or the agreement of a recovery plan under Paragraph G
above, the Contractor fails for reasons other than due to its default or lack
of due diligence to obtain or maintain any other governmental authorisation or
to comply with the agreed recovery plan, the provisions of Paragraph D of
Article 17 hereof, entitled Consequences of Force
Majeure, shall apply provided that (1) the Contractor’s liability
for liquidated damages which accrue prior to a declaration by Inmarsat that the
Contract be discharged, shall be reduced by *** (***) percent if and to the
extent that such liquidated damages are payable as a result of such failure,
and (2) if Inmarsat declares that the Contract is discharged, the amount to
which the Contractor is entitled will be *** by the amount of *** paid prior to
such discharge under Paragraph I(1) above.

 

J.     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 with respect to the Contractor’s
failure to obtain and maintain any governmental authorisation.

 

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 campaign.

 

C.    Subject to Paragraph B of Article
12 hereof, entitled Corrections in Unlaunched
Spacecraft, Article 17 hereof, entitled Consequences
of Force Majeure, and Article 31 hereof, entitled Changes, if the milestone deadlines referred to below or the
Spacecraft delivery deadlines specified in Article 4, entitled Performance Schedule are not met, 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’s liability under this paragraph shall not exceed the aggregate of
these specified liquidated damages.

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.

 

J.     In the event that Inmarsat
requests a Spacecraft to be stored for reasons not due to late delivery by the
Contractor pursuant to Article 33, entitled Option to
Store Spacecraft, and the Spacecraft has not been Launched within a
period of *** days, the parties shall negotiate the level of liquidated damages
which will apply.

 

K.    The Contractor’s liability to pay
liquidated damages for late delivery of any Spacecraft subsequent to the PFM
Spacecraft shall start to accrue on the later of (i) the *** day following the
delivery date for such Spacecraft, or (ii) the *** day after the actual
delivery date of the preceding 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

(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 *** (***) months, the provisions of Paragraph C of this Article 20 shall
apply to any such increase, save that all US$ amounts indicated in such
sub-Article shall be ***.

 

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 *** 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 the amount of any charges incurred by Inmarsat
with the selected Launch Vehicle agency.

 

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.

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 to  control 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.

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

If the  Contractor
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:

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

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

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

thereafter, the provisions in Paragraphs A(1) through A) (5) of this Article
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, EXCEPT that
Inmarsat shall also be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Paragraph C
of Article 19  hereof, entitled Remedies for Late Delivery, for the period from the due date
for delivery until the date of discharge. Alternatively, Inmarsat may elect to
continue the same daily rate of liquidated damages established in Article 19
hereof, entitled Remedies for Late Delivery, for
delivery of the Spacecraft for a further maximum period of ****, in
substitution for its rights to terminate during such further maximum
period.  Any such election shall be made
in writing at least five (5) days before the commencement of any such period.

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 not be entitled to any
limitation in the operation of Article 21.

foregoing remedies are without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraphs A and
B of this Article.

 

D.            Other Remedies

a.     Direct and
indirect costs (excluding any profit element) reasonably incurred by the Contractor
in connection with the performance of the Work prior to termination, other than
those costs referred to in Paragraph B(1)(c) of this Article.  Such costs shall be determined in accordance
with the Contractor’s standard accounting practices and, if requested by
Inmarsat, shall be verified by the Contractor’s independent auditors at

entitled Termination Profiles, plus the
termination charges for the Contractor’s committed forward exchange contracts
provided that the termination charges shall be reduced by any profit made under
the said committed forward exchange contracts. 
For the purposes of this Article the Contractor’s committed forward
exchange contracts shall be treated as a Key Subcontractor under Paragraph
B.1.c of this Article.

 

D.    UNLESS otherwise agreed, Inmarsat

B.    Such Key Personnel shall not be
removed from the performance of the Work UNLESS replaced with personnel of
substantially equal qualifications and ability. 
Inmarsat shall have the right to review the qualifications of any
proposed replacements.  If for good and
sufficient reasons Inmarsat deems the proposed replacements to be unsuitable,
Inmarsat may require the 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

approval.

 

B.    The Contractor shall pass through
to all Key Subcontractors the provisions of Article 16 hereof, entitled Disclaimer of Liability at Launch Site and Paragraphs A and

C.    Nothing in this Article shall
relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for performance of the Work.

 

Article 29                Selection

C.    With respect to the technical
Annexes to this Contract, if the Contractor concludes, at any time during the
performance of the Work, that there are inaccuracies or inconsistencies, or
that such Annexes are not complete or sufficient to enable the Contractor to

for resolution before proceeding with any Work affected by such deficiencies.  If

such deficiencies exist and are not such as should be
discoverable in accordance with Paragraph B above, and if such procedure
results in an increase in cost or schedule for the Contractor, it shall be the
subject of a Change Notice pursuant to Article 31, entitled Changes.

 

D.    If the Contractor proceeds with
any Work in contravention of Paragraph C of this Article, the Contractor shall
be neither relieved of its obligation to perform the Work as intended nor
entitled to any increase in price or extension of the delivery schedule by
reason thereof.

 

E.     Inmarsat shall not be liable, in
any event, for special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages arising

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.

A.            Deadline for Exercise of Options

Article 35                Arbitration

 

A.    Any dispute that arises between
the Contractor and Inmarsat in connection with this Contract, which is not
settled within thirty (30) days from the date that either party notifies the
other that such a dispute exists, or within such longer period as may be
mutually agreed upon, shall be resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the
London Court of International Arbitration in effect on the date that the
arbitration is initiated.

 

B.    A sole arbitrator shall be

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.

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.

enhance and/or protect the programme schedule. This contingency fund shall be
managed as follows:

 

a)              The
fund shall be known as the *** Contingency Fund (or “Fund”) and shall be
contributed to *** by both Inmarsat and the Contractor.

 

b)             ***
US Dollars of the Contract Price is designated as the Contractor’s contribution
to the Fund.  Inmarsat has designated a
further sum of up to *** US Dollars as its contribution to the Fund.

 

c)              The
Fund is to be used to finance any tasks that Inmarsat considers are necessary
to enhance and/or protect the programme schedule.

 

d)             Any
use of the Fund will be financed *** from each of the Inmarsat and Contractor
contributions to the Fund.

 

e)              The
use of the Fund is to be initiated and directed by Inmarsat, however, the
Contractor’s views will be considered in determining the use of the Fund.

 

f)                The
Contractor will be requested to provide a proposal for each use of the Fund
which will be a firm-fixed price whenever possible.

 

g)             Any
work or tasks financed by the Fund shall be treated as Contract Change Notices
(CCNs), in accordance with Article 31, entitled Changes,
but will be identified and accounted for separately and designated as ***
Contingency Fund CCNs.

 

h)             At
the delivery of the PFM, Inmarsat shall pay the Contractor the amount of *** US
Dollars, this amount being *** of the Contractor’s contribution to the Fund,
minus *** of the amount of the Contractor's contribution to the Fund already
used.  If the Contractor’s contribution
to the Fund already used equals *** US Dollars then no payment shall be made
and the Fund shall be considered no longer available for use by either party.

 

i)                 At
the delivery of F3 the Contractor shall be paid the ***, if any, of its
contribution to the Fund that has not yet been used in accordance with the
provisions of this Article.  Upon such
payment the Fund shall be considered no longer available for use by either
party.

 

Article 46                Launch
Vehicle Compatibility

 

If, at any time prior to Launch in respect of each
Spacecraft, the interface and support requirements and technical data (the
“Launch Agency Requirements”) issued by the selected Launch Vehicle agency(s)
as specified in Annex A differ from the Launch Agency Requirements current at
PDR then the Contractor shall promptly at its own expense evaluate the
consequences using its reasonable efforts in good faith to avoid any hardware
modification, additional testing and/or schedule impact.  These efforts shall include inter alia interaction (supported by Inmarsat) with the
Launch Vehicle agency.  If this
evaluation shows that the Spacecraft is compatible with the updated Launch
Agency Requirements without hardware modification or additional testing the
updated Launch Agency Requirements will replace those current at PDR.  If it does not, the Contractor shall provide
a report to Inmarsat demonstrating the incompatibility and recommending the
least cost, minimal-impact-to-schedule hardware modifications and/or additional
testing which may be required.  Provided
Inmarsat accepts the findings of the Contractor, the parties will treat the
matter as a change in accordance with Article 31 hereof, entitled Changes.

WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed

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.
