(y) enter into any Contract to do or engage in any of the foregoing.

Section 6.2. Covenants Regarding Information. (a) From the date hereof until the
Closing Date, to the extent permitted by applicable United States export control Laws and the
Company TAAs in place and upon reasonable notice, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall afford the
Buyers and their Representatives reasonable access to the Representatives, assets, properties and
books and records (including Returns, Tax information and records) of the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall furnish the Buyers with all such information
and data (including copies of Contracts and such other financial, operating and other data and
information as the Buyers may reasonably request) and shall reasonably assist and cooperate with
the Buyers and, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company as to the choice of an independent
consultant, any Person who might perform any testing or have access to any information, including
without limitation, any independent consultant conducting tests and confirmatory audits of the
propellant or bi-propellant status and the Available Satellite Operational Capability of the
Company Satellites (and shall permit the Buyers to observe such tests and audits); provided,
however, that any such testing, audits and accessing or furnishing of information (other than
testing conducted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)) shall be conducted at the Buyers’ expense, during
normal business hours, under the supervision of the Company’s personnel and in such a manner as not
to interfere with the normal operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or with the operation
or use (including by the Company’s customers) of the Company Satellites or risk harm to them; and,
provided, further, that except as provided in Section 6.2(b) below, nothing herein, including any
consent that may be given by the Company for the conduct of particular tests or audits, shall be
deemed to bind the Company or any Seller to any conclusion that either any Buyer or consultant may
derive from such testing or audits. To the extent permitted by applicable United States export
control Laws, the Company and the Sellers shall be provided with all copies of instructions,
descriptions of methodology to be performed, test and audit results, all draft instructions,
methodologies, reports and any other documents prepared by any Buyer or any consultant with regard
to such tests and audits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither
Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose any information to the Buyers or their
Representatives if such disclosure would, in the opinion of outside counsel for the Company, (i)
jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (ii) violate any applicable Laws,
fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(a) above, the Company shall, within 10
Business Days of the Execution Date, retain an Approved Consultant to conduct a bookkeeping audit
of the Company’s calculation of available fuel propellant or bi-propellant on Satmex 5 and Satmex 6
and a thermal (pvt) measurement of the available fuel propellant or bi-propellant on Satmex 5. As
used herein, an “Approved Consultant” shall be any of: (i) Comsat Technical Services or
Lockheed Martin Technical Services; (ii) the manufacturer of the applicable Company Satellite; or
(iii) an Affiliate of the manufacturer of the applicable Company Satellite, which said manufacturer
recommended in writing to both the Buyers and the Company as the appropriate and qualified entity
to conduct such audit or testing. The Approved Consultant shall determine, in accordance with
reasonable engineering standards for professional satellite engineers, by written report to be
issued to the Buyers, the Company, and the Sellers as promptly as practicable, whether, and only
insofar as the accuracy of the audit or tests employed allow for such a determination, there is a
deficiency of any amount with respect to Satmex 5 or of twenty-five percent (25%) or more with
respect to Satmex 6 (a “Major Fuel Deficiency”) in the amount of propellant or
bi-propellant available as compared to the amounts set forth in Schedule 4.15(a) of the
Disclosure Schedules, after first deducting from the latter the amount of propellant or
bi-propellant fuel required to operate the applicable Company Satellite from the date of
measurement shown in such schedule to such later date as of which the Approved Consultant makes its
determination of the available propellant or bi-propellant on the applicable Company Satellite. A
determination made by an Approved Consultant in accordance with this Section 6.2(b) shall
be binding upon all Parties hereto for purposes of Section 8.1(f)(ii).

(c) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by either
Seller (as it relates to the Company and its Subsidiaries), for a period of five years after the
Closing or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the applicable Buyer’s document
retention policies, such Buyer shall (i) retain the

books and records relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to periods prior to
the Closing and (ii) afford the Representatives of either Seller reasonable access (including the
right to make, at such Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books
and records; provided, however, that such Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing
at least 30 days in advance of destroying any such books and records prior to the fifth anniversary
of the Closing Date in order to provide the Sellers the opportunity to copy such books and records
in accordance with this Section 6.2(c).

Section 6.3. Books and Records. The Sellers shall prior to, or reasonably promptly
after the Closing, provide to the Buyers all of the books and records of the Company and its
Subsidiaries that are in the possession of the Sellers or their Representatives; provided, that the
Sellers shall be entitled to retain copies of such books and records delivered to the Buyers
pursuant to this Section 6.3 to the extent required by Law.

Section 6.4. Financial Statements and Reports; Filings.

(a) With respect to financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each fiscal
semi-annual period and each fiscal year as are filed in an SEC Document by the Company after the
date of this Agreement but before the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable upon the filing by
the Company of such SEC Document containing the same (and, in the event that the Closing has not
occurred on or prior to April 5, 2010, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later
than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Company and its Subsidiaries will deliver
to the Buyers true and complete copies of (in the case of any such fiscal year) the audited and (in
the case of any such fiscal semi-annual period) the unaudited balance sheets and the related
audited or unaudited statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company
and its Subsidiaries (including the consolidating schedules reflecting the independent financial
condition and results of operations of the Company), in each case as of and for the fiscal year
then ended or as of and for each such fiscal semi-annual period and the portion of the fiscal year
then ended, as the case may be, together with the notes, if any, relating thereto, which financial
statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements, with such changes
as may be required under GAAP.

(b) After the date of this Agreement but before the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable
(and in no event later than 20 days from the last day of the preceding month), the Company and its
Subsidiaries will deliver to the Buyers true and complete copies of final monthly consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the business and operations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(c) As promptly as practicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries will deliver copies of all
Permit applications and any other filings made by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date
of this Agreement and before the Closing Date with any Governmental Authority, other than publicly
available SEC Documents.

Section 6.5. Update of Disclosure Schedules. The Sellers and the Company shall have
the right from time to time prior to the Closing to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules
with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which if existing or known at the date
of this Agreement would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure
Schedules and also with respect to events or conditions arising after the date hereof and prior to
Closing. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall have no effect on any breach of any
representation or warranty made in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to have cured any such
breach of representation or warranty for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set
forth in Article VII have been satisfied. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.5,
shall imply that the Sellers or the Company is making any representation or warranty as of any date
other than the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

Section 6.6. Notification of Certain Matters. Until the Closing, each party hereto
shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or
occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or could reasonably be
expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement
becoming incapable of being satisfied.

Section 6.7. Affiliate Transactions. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5(b) and
Schedule 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, immediately prior to the Closing, all Indebtedness
and other amounts owing under Contracts between either Seller, or any officer, director or
Affiliate of either Seller, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, will be paid in full or
settled, and the Company will terminate and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such
officer, director or Affiliate of either Seller to terminate each Contract with the Company. After
the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, the Company will not enter into any Contract
or amend or modify any existing Contract, and will not engage in any transaction outside the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or not on an arm’s-length basis, with the
Sellers or any such officer, director or Affiliate of a Seller; provided that the entry into or
amendment or modification of any such Contract shall be subject to Bidder’s prior written consent,
such consent to be granted or withheld in Bidder’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 6.8. Debt Offers.

(a) Each party will provide the Company with any information that may be reasonably requested
in order to effectuate the preparation of the Debt Offer Documents. The Company will provide each
other party and their respective counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the Debt Offer
Documents prior to the time such documents are first published, sent or given to holders of the
First Priority Notes and the Second Priority Notes. The Company, the Buyers and the Sellers each
agree to correct any information provided by it for use in the Debt Offer Documents that shall have
become false or misleading in any material respect.

(b) Upon the commencement of the Debt Offers as contemplated by Section 2.3, the
Company shall publish, provide or deliver the Debt Offer Documents to holders of the First Priority
Notes and Second Priority Notes as required by applicable Law. The Debt Offers shall be conducted
in compliance with applicable Law. The Company, the Buyers and the Sellers each agree to use their
respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the Debt Offers and the Company shall keep the
Buyers reasonably informed of the status of the Debt Offers, including by providing the Buyers with
a schedule identifying the holders of First Priority Notes and Second Priority Notes (i) who have
either validly tendered their notes in the Debt Offers (and are not entitled to withdraw their
tenders) or (ii) with whom Lockup Agreements have been executed, and to the extent known to the
Company, the overall percentage of First Priority Notes and Second Priority Notes represented by
such holders. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the satisfaction or earlier waiver of all
the conditions of the Debt Offers as of the expiration date of the Debt Offers, the Company shall
accept for payment, the First Priority Notes and Second Priority Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the Debt Offers simultaneously with the Closing.

Section 6.9. No Solicitation. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, each
Buyer will not, and will cause its Affiliates to not, for a period of *** thereafter, without the
prior written consent of the Company, solicit any person who is an employee of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, at the date hereof or at any time hereafter that precedes such termination, to
terminate his or her employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries unless (a) such employee shall
have ceased to be an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a period of ***, (b) such
employee shall have responded to a general advertisement or solicitation of employment not
specifically directed toward employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (c) such employee
shall have initiated discussions with such Buyer regarding employment without having first been
solicited by such Buyer or an agent of such Buyer. Each Buyer agrees that any remedy at law for
any breach by such Buyer of this Section 6.9 would be inadequate, and that the Sellers and
the Company would be entitled to injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that this
restriction on a Buyer is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the Company, such
Buyer agrees that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions which
such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate properly to protect the Company.

Section 6.10. Confidentiality. Each party hereto shall hold, and shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence
from any Person (other than any such Affiliate or Representative), unless (a) such Person is a
Trust Beneficiary, holder of First Priority Notes or Holder of Second

hereunder) through no fault of such receiving Person or (iii) later acquired by the receiving
Person from another source if the receiving Person is not aware that such source is under an
obligation to another party to keep such documents and information confidential; provided, that
following the Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to the Buyers’ use of documents and
information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished by each Seller hereunder. In the
event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, upon the request of the
other party, each party will, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, promptly
redeliver or cause to be redelivered or destroyed all copies of documents and information furnished
by the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and
destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other
writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the party furnished such documents and

such filing, the party that is filing the Agreement shall provide prior notice of such to the other
party; and (ii) the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the portion
hereof, if any, for which confidential treatment will be requested. This Section 6.10

parties which are hereby terminated.

(i) of the definition thereof (or enters into a definitive agreement with respect thereto) with a Satellite Operator that is a
Noteholder (or an Affiliate of such Noteholder), then in any such case, the Company shall pay to
Bidder, on the date of consummation of such Change of Control Transaction, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by Bidder, $9,630,000. For clarity and the
avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation, if any, to pay such $9,630,000 is in addition to the
Company’s obligation, if any, to pay expenses pursuant to Section 8.2(b) above.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by Bidder pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(ii) due to a willful breach of a covenant by a Seller or the Company or (ii) pursuant to
Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(h) and, in either case, within 12 months after the
date of such termination, any of the Sellers, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
consummates a transaction constituting a Change of Control Transaction under clause (ii) or (iii)
of the definition thereof (or enters into a definitive agreement with respect thereto), then the
Company shall pay to Bidder, on the date of consummation of such Change of Control Transaction, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Bidder, $6,370,000. For
clarity and the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation, if any, to pay such $6,370,000 is in

above.

(c) Only one fee shall be payable under any of Section 8.3(a) or Section
8.3(b), if at all; provided, however, that if a fee becomes due under
Section 8.3(b) and a subsequent transaction is consummated (or a definitive agreement
related thereto is entered into) that gives rise to a payment obligation under Section
8.3(a), then the Company shall be obligated to pay the amount due under Section 8.3(a)
but only after deducting the amount that previously became due (and was actually paid) under
Section 8.3(b).

(d) The provisions of Sections 8.3(a) and (b) shall not apply in the event
that any of the Sellers, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company consummates a transaction (or
enters into a definitive agreement with respect thereto) in which (i) the aggregate purchase price
in or value of the transaction is less than $267,000,000 and (ii) the definitive agreement with
respect to such transaction is entered into following a Partial Loss resulting in a reduction in

reduction; or (B) with respect to Satmex 6, a reduction of 8.92857% or more.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(k), then
Bidder shall pay to the Company the sum of $1,000,000.

(f) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d), where

Agreement or to otherwise have a MXJV Partner or alternate MXJV sign the Joinder Agreement, then
Bidder shall pay to the Company the sum of $2,000,000.

(g) Payments made by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b)
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyers for damages against the Sellers, the Company
and any of the Company’s Subsidiaries with respect to such termination or any breach of any
covenant or agreement giving rise to such payment. Payments made by Bidder pursuant to Section
8.3(e) or Section 8.3(f) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers and the
Company for damages against Bidder with respect to such termination or any breach of any covenant
or agreement giving rise to such payment.

Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties that by its terms

expenses incurred in connection with or related to this Agreement or any ancillary agreement and

expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated. Simultaneously with or prior to the
Closing, the Company may use any cash or cash equivalents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, other

long as the payment of such fees or expenses is or will be accounted for in the notice of Available

other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on
the part of any party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument

been finally resolved in writing to the mutual satisfaction of the parties to this Agreement, each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to submit such Dispute, for

be conducted in ***, in the English language, pursuant to the Arbitration Rules of the
International Chamber of Commerce then in effect (the “ICC Rules”) by a panel of three
arbitrators, one designated by the Sellers, one designated by Bidder, and the third, who shall act

arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the ICC Rules. The arbitration panel shall, in respect
of any Dispute submitted thereto grant an award, strictly grounded in law, not later than the end
of the ninth calendar month after the month in which such Dispute is submitted to arbitration. The
award of the arbitration panel will be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and such

is reasonably apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any
Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be

be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other
similar terms in this Agreement.

Section 9.13. Personal Liability. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to
