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

	 	 11.2.1.3
	 Any postponements by CUSTOMER of the Launch Time within the Launch Window may only be requested during the countdown period. In the event that CUSTOMER has
requested such postponement and technical reasons, including, without limitation, those relating to any Third Party Customer(s) of ARIANESPACE, or meteorological reasons prevent ARIANESPACE from performing the Launch in the Launch Window opening

satellite(s) whose mission(s) may be degraded in the event of postponement, where such launch(es) occur after [***]. 

  

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

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

  

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

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

 2. Meetings 
 2.1  Interface Meetings 
 The CUSTOMER and ARIANESPACE agree to meet as often as necessary to
allow for good and timely execution of all activities related to the preparation of the Launch. A guideline is presented in the following Table 1. 
 The program managers of the CUSTOMER and ARIANESPACE shall agree upon exact dates, locations, agendas and participation sufficiently in advance, on a case by case basis. 
 For all meetings taking place at the CUSTOMER’s or CUSTOMER’s contractor premises, the CUSTOMER will obtain necessary clearance for ARIANESPACE and their nominated contractor(s)
personnel. Similarly, ARIANESPACE will obtain clearances for CUSTOMER(s) and CUSTOMER Contractor(s) personnel for meetings/visits at ARIANESPACE and its Contractor(s)’s premises. 
 It is understood that, during the interface meetings, a review of contractual and general management items will be performed, i.e. schedule, milestones and action items lists, contract or
configuration changes, financial matters as applicable. The CUSTOMER and ARIANESPACE will be free to invite their contractors to the interface meetings. 
 2.2  Launch Vehicle Standard Reviews 
 The CUSTOMER will be invited to the following Launch
Vehicle reviews: 
  

	 ·
	 Launch Vehicle Flight Readiness Review (RAV) prior to the start of the Launch Vehicle campaign 

	 ·
	 POC Readiness Review (BT POC) prior to the start of the combined operations 

	 ·
	 RAF meeting prior to Launch Vehicle roll-out 

	 ·
	 Launch Readiness Review (RAL) two days before Launch 

	 ·
	 Immediate Post Flight Review (CRAL) one day after Launch 

 The review documentation will be handed out to the CUSTOMER at each of these reviews. 
  

					
		 	- ARIANESPACE PROPRIETARY -	  	IV-5      

 2.2.1 Launch Vehicle Flight Readiness Review (RAV) 
 This review is performed about 2 months before the Launch and allows ARIANESPACE management to authorize the start of the Launch Vehicle campaign.
CUSTOMER is formally invited to attend. 
 The review is co-chaired by the ARIANE Production Project Manager (CPAP) and the Launch Vehicle
Quality Synthesis Manager (RSQL). 
 At that time, all flight hardware, stages, vehicle equipment bay, fairing, SYLDA5 and spacecraft
adapters, are reviewed, through a comprehensive documentation process (available at ARIANESPACE). The documentation covers, but is not limited to, hardware identification, performance test results, and major waivers, anomalies and failures which
occurred during production, acceptance tests and storage, life limitations, on-going production status of the same equipment, etc... The payload status is also presented (mission, flight program, waivers, etc...). 
 The RAV documentation will be made available to CUSTOMER during the review. 
 2.2.2 POC Readiness Review (BT POC) 
 This review is performed before the start
of the Combined Operations (POC). It allows ARIANESPACE management to authorize the start of the combined operations between the Launch Vehicle and the spacecraft. The CUSTOMER is required to provide a Spacecraft Readiness status to start the POC
activities. 
 The review is chaired by the Ariane Mission Director (CM) and it covers the readiness status with respect to the POC
activities for: 
  

	 ·
	 The Launch Vehicle, (including a debriefing of the launch vehicle Functional Readiness Review - RAF), 

	 ·
	 The Ariane Launch Complex (ELA) and the EPCU (S5), 

	 ·
	 The Spacecraft and the co-passenger. 

 All participants to the Review receive a comprehensive set of summary documents presenting the readiness status of all the parties. 
 The Launch Vehicle Functional Review (RAF) is an internal ARIANESPACE review of the Launch Vehicle status before the transfer of the Launch Vehicle to the BAF. 
 2.2.3 Launch Readiness Review (RAL) 
 This review takes places at the launch site at D-2, i.e. two
days before the Launch Day. It allows ARIANESPACE management to authorize the start of the Launch 
  

					
		 	- ARIANESPACE PROPRIETARY -	  	IV-6      

 Vehicle filling operations and the final countdown. CUSTOMER is requested to attend; in any case, the
final Spacecraft flight readiness status is required. 
 A pre-RAL meeting will be organized by ARIANESPACE prior to the actual review
in order to: 
  

	 ·
	 Inform the CUSTOMER of the significant items that will be presented at the RAL 

	 ·
	 Provide any additional clarification that may result from previous written questions raised by the CUSTOMER. 

 The review is co-chaired by the Ariane Production Project Manager (CPAP) and the Launch Vehicle Quality Synthesis Manager (RSQL). It covers the launch
readiness of: 
  

	 ·
	 The Launch Vehicle 

	 ·
	 The Ariane Launch Complex (ELA), 

	 ·
	 The Launch Base (CSG) 

	 ·
	 The spacecraft, co-passenger and their associated ground support network. 

 All participants to the review receive a comprehensive set of summary documents presenting the readiness status of all the parties. 
 No further presentation meeting, dealing with the RAL content, will be organized after the RAL has authorized to proceed with the Launch Vehicle filling operations. 
 Nevertheless, in the event of significant anomalies occurring after the RAL, necessary meetings may be organized. 
 2.2.4 Immediate Post Flight Review (CRAL) 
 This review is performed the day after the Launch. ARIANESPACE provides the first flight data evaluation after the flight. 
 The
CUSTOMER is invited to attend and is requested to provide the spacecraft status after separation and acquisition by the ground stations. 
 2.3  Spacecraft Reviews 
 ARIANESPACE will be invited to attend the Spacecraft Qualification / Acceptance / Flight
Readiness and/or Pre-shipment Review.

		 	- ARIANESPACE PROPRIETARY -	  	IV-7      

 During the Launch Vehicle campaign, CUSTOMER is invited to attend the daily Launch Vehicle BAF campaign
meetings. These meetings are conducted in French. 
 In case of an anomaly or incident, a specific dedicated meeting is organized with the
Launch Vehicle and Quality authorities to understand the anomaly or incident, and to set up a corrective action plan where applicable. 
  
 2.5  Quality Reporting 
 Quality
in production, operations and organization has been given a top priority, directly driven and monitored by the General Management of ARIANESPACE. 
 The ARIANESPACE Quality Manual translates this commitment in terms of operating principles, method and functioning rules.

warrants to the Company as of the date of this Agreement as set forth below. 
 (i)      The

registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, and (B) the Restricted Units issued to the Purchaser must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is

 (ii)      The Purchaser further understands that, with respect to the Restricted Units, the exemption from
registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to the Purchaser) promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the 

  

 -5-

limited amounts. 
 (iii)      The Purchaser will not Transfer the Restricted Units acquired
by it hereunder, except in compliance with the Documents. 
 (iv)      The Purchaser is
acquiring the Restricted Units for its own account, for investment only and not with a view to, or an intention of, the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws.

promulgated under the Securities Act). 
 (vi)      The Purchaser has no need for liquidity in
its investment in the Restricted Units and is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Restricted Units for an indefinite period of time. 
 (vii)      The Purchaser has been represented by counsel and/or advisors in connection with the execution and delivery of the Documents and has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Restricted Units and has had full access to or been provided with all such other information concerning the Company as he has requested.

upon its representations to the Company contained in Sections 5(b) and 5(c).

 (i)      Neither the issuance of the Restricted Units to the Purchaser nor any provision
contained in the Documents shall entitle the Purchaser to obtain employment with or remain in the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or affect any right the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may
have to terminate the Purchaser’s employment, pursuant to the Employment Agreement or otherwise, for any reason. 
 (ii)      The Company shall have no duty or obligation to disclose to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the repurchase of the Restricted Units upon the termination of the Purchaser’s employment with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or as otherwise
provided in the Documents.

 Commencing on January 2,
2007, the Purchaser shall have the right to exchange (the “Exchange”) all of his Restricted Units which have vested in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement for common stock of HCI (“HCI Shares”).
The number of HCI Shares to be issued to the Purchaser in connection with the Exchange shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Vested Securities and (2) the Fair Market Value of such Vested
Securities by (y) the Share Market Price. HCI shall issue such HCI Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 Section 8.      Specific Transfer Restrictions on Equity Securities. 
 The
provisions set forth in this Section 8 shall apply to the Purchaser and any Transferee of the Purchaser (other the Company or its designees). 
 (a)      The Purchaser acknowledges the restrictions on Transfer of the Equity Securities set forth in the LLC Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9 thereof). 
 (b)      If HCI approves a Sale Transaction, the Purchaser shall consent to and raise no objections against the Sale
Transaction, and if the Sale Transaction is structured as a sale of the issued and outstanding Securities of the Company (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation or sale or Transfer of Securities of the Company, or otherwise), then the
Purchaser shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Sale Transaction and such Purchaser shall agree to sell his Equity Securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board. The Purchaser
shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Sale Transaction, including, but not limited to, the execution of such agreements and instruments (including equityholder resolutions) and other actions
necessary to provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, escrow agreement(s) and other provisions and agreements relating to such Sale Transaction. In the event that the Purchaser fails for any reason to take any of
the foregoing actions after reasonable notice thereof, he hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney and proxy to the Company to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed by the Company necessary to effectuate the
terms of this Section 8(b). 
 (c)      If and whenever the Company proposes to register any of its
Securities under the Securities Act for its own account (or otherwise), the Purchaser agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution (including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or
Rule 144A of the Securities Act) of any Equity Securities or any other Securities of the Company until 180 days after (or with respect to the Company’s initial public offering of Units under the Securities Act, 270 days after), and during the
twenty (20) days prior to, the effective date of such registration. 
 (d)      Any Transferee of Equity
Securities (other than the Company or its designees) shall, as a condition to such Transfer, agree to be bound by all of the provisions of the

Documents applicable to holders of Equity Securities (including, without limitation, Sections 7 and 8 hereof). 
 Section 9.    Indemnification. 
 (a)      The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related
thereto (including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses), relating to or arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement. 
 (b)      The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against all liability, loss or damage,
together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses), relating to or arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of
the Purchaser contained in this Agreement. 
 Section 10.    Tax Election. 
 (a)                THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE
PURCHASER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO DECIDE IF AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SHOULD BE MADE AND TO FILE TIMELY SUCH ELECTION, EVEN IF THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS BEHALF. THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY TAX ADVICE PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONSULTANTS OR OTHER ADVISORS, AND THE PURCHASER IS STRONGLY ADVISED
TO CONSULT WITH HIS OWN TAX ADVISORS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTERS SET FORTH HEREIN. 
 Section 11.    General
Provisions. 
 (a)      Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of any
Equity Securities in violation of the Documents shall be null and void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported Transferee of such Equity Securities as the owner of such Equity Securities for any purpose.

 (b)      Amendments; Waiver and Release. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be
modified or amended, nor may any of the provisions hereof be waived, temporarily or permanently, except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the party to be bound by such modification or amendment. The failure of any party to enforce any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 
 (c)      Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions each Document be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of any Document shall be adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction to 

  

 -8- 

 
be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of such Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly
drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d)      Entire Agreement. The Documents and the other
writings referred to in the Documents or delivered pursuant to the Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Documents and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or
understandings with respect thereto. 
 (e)      Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Purchaser and the Company and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, representatives and estates, as the case may be; provided,
however, that the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be assignable except in connection with a Transfer of Equity Securities not prohibited under the terms and provisions of the Documents. Except as
expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 (f)      Counterparts and Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other party, it being understood that all parties
need not sign the same counterpart. Any counterpart or other signature hereunder delivered by facsimile shall be deemed for all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party. 
 (g)      Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement and any such Person granted rights hereunder whether or
not such Person is a signatory hereto (including, without limitation, HCI) shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically to recover damages and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) for any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party and
any such Person granted rights hereunder whether or not such Person is a signatory hereto (including, without limitation, HCI) may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
other injunctive relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. HCI shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights of the Company hereunder. 
 (h)      Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
sufficient if delivered in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement.

 (i)      Construction. The use in this Agreement of the term
“including” means “including, without limitation.” The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules and
exhibits, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. All references to sections, schedules and
exhibits mean the sections of this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The title of and the section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require. Where specific
language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The language used in
this Agreement has been chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 
 (j)      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF THE
OTHER PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS,
BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT
HAS REVIEWED OR HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS WAIVER WITH ITS RESPECTIVE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
 (k)      GOVERNING LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS OR PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE
STATE OF DELAWARE. WITH RESPECT TO ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL AND DELAWARE STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF DELAWARE IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE; (b) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE 

  

 -10- 

 
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT; (c) WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM; AND
(d) FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. 
 (l)      Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties and agreements contained herein shall survive for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
indefinitely. 
 (m)      Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be
done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments, and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and the other parties shall cooperate with such efforts, to obtain any consents, orders,
authorizations and approvals of, or effect the notification of or filing with each Person, whether private or governmental, whose consent or approval is or may be required to permit the consummation of, and give full effect to, the transactions
contemplated hereby.
