	 	 	 	          (Guarantee Amount x Loss Quantum) minus deductible.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance policy taken out by CUSTOMER
(i) provides for a deductible higher or lower than PFF, such deductible as
provided for in the said insurance policy shall apply, or (ii) does not
provide for a deductible, no deductible shall apply.

who could cover risks related to the launch of the Satellite. Specially and not
limitatively, in circumstances where salvage can be performed, ARIANESPACE will be
entitled to a share in any salvage value remaining in any portion of the Satellite for
which a Reflight has been performed or a cash payment has been due and paid by

      ARTICLE 11 — LAUNCH POSTPONEMENTS

	11.1	 	Each postponement of the Launch Period, the Launch Slot, the Launch Day or the Launch Time,
for whatever reason, shall, for each particular Launch under this Agreement, be governed
solely by the terms and conditions provided in this Article 11. The Parties hereto expressly
waive, renounce, and exclude any and all rights and remedies that may arise at law or in
equity with respect to postponements that are not stated in this Article 11 or elsewhere in
this Agreement.
	 
	11.2	 	Postponements requested by CUSTOMER

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

	 	11.2.1.1	 	If the CUSTOMER’s written request relates to a Launch Period or a Launch Slot
postponement, within TWO (2) weeks of receipt of such request, ARIANESPACE shall
inform CUSTOMER whether a Launch Opportunity exists within the Launch Period, or
within the Launch Slot requested, or will propose a new Launch Period or Launch Slot,
taking into account CUSTOMER’s requests, within the next available Launch
Opportunity. CUSTOMER shall have THIRTY (30) days following receipt of ARIANESPACE’s
proposal to consent thereto in writing.
	 
	 	11.2.1.2	 	If the CUSTOMER’s written request relates to a Launch Day postponement, the
choice of a new Launch Day shall be made by mutual agreement of the Parties, taking
into account the technical needs and interests of CUSTOMER and any Third Party
Customer(s) of ARIANESPACE, the time necessary for the revalidation of the launch
assembly complex consisting of the ARIANE Launch Vehicle, the Launch Base (ELA), and
the payload preparation assembly (EPCU), and meteorological forecasts.
	 
	 	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
during the Launch Day, the postponement shall be considered to be a postponement of
the Launch Day.
	 
	 	11.2.1.4	 	In the event that the aggregate duration of all postponements requested by
CUSTOMER for a particular Launch under this Agreement, result in CUSTOMER delaying
such Launch by more than [***] months, the related

fair and reasonable basis.

	 	11.2.2	 	If CUSTOMER requests a postponement in the Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Day,
and ARIANESPACE, in its reasonable judgment, determines that a Launch Opportunity is not
available in the time requested by CUSTOMER, and the Launch is subsequently scheduled to
occur in a later Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Day than that requested by
CUSTOMER, then the total number of calendar days of postponement originally requested by
CUSTOMER shall be attributed to CUSTOMER. Any delay in the Launch schedule resulting
from the determination by ARIANESPACE of the availability of a Launch Opportunity in
excess of the postponement requested by CUSTOMER shall not be deemed to be attributed to
CUSTOMER or ARIANESPACE.

	11.3	 	Launch postponement requested by ARIANESPACE

Except as provided for in Section b) of Sub-paragraph 11.3.1.2 below, ARIANESPACE shall not be
entitled to postpone the Launch for reasons related to an Auxiliary Payload. In the event that,
ARIANESPACE, in its reasonable judgment, believes that an Auxiliary Payload (i) is not compatible
with the Satellite and the Launch and Satellite Missions, or (ii) is not ready in time to support
the Launch, then ARIANESPACE shall be entitled to replace the Auxiliary Payload with a Dummy
Payload.

	 	11.3.1	 	ARIANESPACE shall have the right to postpone a Launch, for the following reasons:

	 	11.3.1.1	 	Postponement of Launch Period and of Launch Slot.

	 	a)	 	ARIANESPACE or its Associates encounter adverse
technical problems that prevent the Launch from taking place under
satisfactory conditions of safety or reliability.
	 
	 	b)	 	ARIANESPACE cannot perform the Launch as a Double
Launch for any reason whatsoever.
	 
	 	c)	 	ARIANESPACE is requested to perform replacement
launch(es), or to launch scientific satellite(s) whose mission(s) may be
degraded in the event of postponement.
	 
	 	d)	 	ARIANESPACE postpones the Launch due to
postponement(s) by ARIANESPACE of satellite(s) having an earlier Launch
Period or Launch Slot than CUSTOMER’s Satellite, for reasons similar to
the reasons set forth under this Sub-paragraph 11.3.1.1 a), b) and c).

	 	11.3.1.2	 	Postponement of Launch Day within the Launch Slot and/or Launch Time within
the Launch Window.

	 	a)	 	For any of the reasons listed in Sub-paragraph
11.3.1.1 a), b) and c), and d) above, and
	 
	 	b)	 	If following its/their integration on the Launch
Vehicle, ARIANESPACE must remove the Auxiliary Payload(s) due to a
threat to the Launch

	 	 	 	In the event of a conflict between the Launch Rank of CUSTOMER’s Satellite and the
launch rank of the satellite(s) of third party customer(s) of ARIANESPACE, Launch
Period or Launch Slot priority will be given to the customer with the earlier date
of execution of a launch services contract with ARIANESPACE.
	 
	 	 	 	The Launch Day and the Launch Window within the new Launch Slot shall be determined
by ARIANESPACE according to the technical constraints of ARIANESPACE, CUSTOMER and
the Third Party Customer(s) of ARIANESPACE, and their respective interests.
	 
	 	11.3.3	 	Any postponement by ARIANESPACE of the Launch Period, Launch Slot, Launch Day, Launch
Window, or Launch Time due to CUSTOMER’s non-fulfilment of its obligations under this
Agreement, including CUSTOMER’S failure to timely apply for, obtain or maintain any
necessary export licenses, where despite the reasonable commercial efforts of the
Parties (including implementation of work-around plans or designation of third-party
consultants to transfer necessary information to ARIANESPACE in compliance with
applicable laws), and such failure by the CUSTOMER renders performance of the Launch by
ARIANESPACE 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.
	 
	 	 	 	(xxviii)

	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

Contractor representative set forth in Paragraph 9.2 requesting a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to select a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date. However, in the event that the Parties cannot mutually agree within [***] days of
Customer’s notice (or such shorter time period as Contractor may determine, in light of the
proximity to the Launch), Contractor shall make such determination taking into account the manifest
policy set forth in Paragraph 6.4, the available Launch Opportunities as close as possible to
Customer’s requested Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date and the other requirements and
interests of Customer, and Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any
postponements in the Launch of the Satellite. Until a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch
Date is selected in accordance with this Paragraph 7.1, the then-current launch schedule shall
remain in effect.

7.1.1 If the launch schedule adjustment results in a later Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date, then only the total number of calendar days of delay originally requested by
Customer shall be attributed to Customer. Any delay in the Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date resulting from the determination of a Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date,
as applicable, by Contractor in excess of the delay requested by Customer shall not be
deemed to be attributed to Contractor or Customer.

7.1.2 Postponements by Customer under this Article 7 for each Launch Service shall not
exceed a total of [***] months. In the event that a single postponement, or cumulative
postponements, attributed to Customer exceed such maximum permissible postponement for the

renegotiation. Contractor shall provide Customer a commercially reasonable proposal for
equitable adjustment to extend the period of performance of this Contract in order to
accommodate Customer’s postponement within [***] of receipt by Contractor of Customer’s
postponement notice which exceeds the maximum permissible postponement. [***] The Parties
agree to renegotiate the Contract in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,
within [***] of the date Customer receives Contractor’s proposal. Should the Parties fail
to conclude negotiations and amend this Contract within this [***] timeframe, such matter
shall be subject to resolution in accordance with Article 22 entitled Dispute Resolution.

7.1.3 Should Customer request or cause postponement of a Launch Date where, in the
reasonable judgment and discretion of Contractor (as notified in writing to Customer), the

postponement requires that the Satellite be de-mated from the Launch Vehicle and/or the
Launch Vehicle or part thereof be removed from the launch pad so that Contractor will be
able to meet other contractual commitments, Russian Federation Government requirements,
access by Customer or its Related Third Parties to the Satellite or for other operational or
safety reasons, Customer will be liable for the necessary, reasonable and documented actual
costs incurred for such effort, including, without limitation, to de-mate and/or remove,
place and maintain in storage, re-mate and re-integrate the Satellite, re-erect and
re-process the Launch Vehicle and Satellite [***]. Contractor shall utilize reasonable
efforts to minimize such costs. Such costs will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt
of Contractor’s invoice.

7.2 Contractor Launch Schedule Adjustments Contractor may postpone or request an
advancement of the Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date by giving notice to Customer proposing
a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to
select a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date. However, in the case of a postponement, if
the Parties cannot mutually agree within [***] days of Contractor’s proposal (or such shorter time
period as Contractor may determine, in light of the proximity to the Launch), Contractor shall make
such determination in good faith taking into account the manifest policy set forth in Paragraph
6.4, the available Launch Opportunities as close as possible to Customer’s requested Launch Period,
Launch Slot or Launch Date and the other requirements and interests of Customer, and Contractor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any postponements in the Launch of the
Satellite. Until a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date is selected in accordance with
this Paragraph 7.2, the then-current launch schedule shall remain in effect.

7.2.1 If the final launch schedule adjustment results in a later Launch Period, Launch Slot
or Launch Date, then the total number of calendar days of delay originally requested by
Contractor shall be attributed to Contractor.

7.2.2 Postponements by Contractor under this Article 7 shall not exceed a total of [***]
months for the Launch Service. In the event that a single postponement, or cumulative
postponements, attributed to Contractor exceed such maximum permissible postponement for the
Launch Service, the Launch Service shall, at the election of Customer, be subject to
termination by Customer in accordance with Paragraph 21.2 entitled “Termination by Customer
for Excessive Launch Postponement.”

7.2.3 Should Contractor request or cause postponement of a Launch Date where, in the
reasonable judgment and discretion of Contractor (as notified in writing to Customer), the
postponement requires that the Launch Vehicle or part thereof be removed from the launch pad
so that Contractor will be able to meet other contractual commitments, Russian Federation
requirements, access by Customer or its Related Third Parties to the Satellite or for other
operational or safety reasons, Contractor will be liable for the necessary, reasonable and
documented actual costs incurred by Customer at the launch site to remove, place and
maintain in storage, re-process the Satellite and to re-integrate the Satellite at the
launch site, [***]. Customer shall utilize reasonable efforts to minimize such costs. Such
costs will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Customer’s invoice.

7.3 Reserved

7.4 Postponements Attributed to Non-Complying Party under Article 10 Should the failure of
either Party to provide required data, hardware and services result in a delay to the launch
schedule, then a postponement shall be attributed to the non-complying Party under this Article 7
upon notice by the other Party. Requirements to provide data, hardware and services, delays and
the length of postponement chargeable to the non-complying Party are described in Article 10 entitled “Additional Contractor
and Customer Obligations Prior to Launch.”
