“Article 6 — Spacecraft Performance Payments

     A.     The Contractor is entitled to receive performance payments for each
Spacecraft which operates satisfactorily, as defined in Article 8 of this
Contract, entitled Satisfactory Operation, after successful injection of the
Spacecraft, as defined in Article 7 of this Contract, entitled Successful
Injection.

     B.     Subject to the requirements of Article 8, the Contractor shall be paid
the following amounts as performance payments:

     1.     ******************* of the recurring cost of the INTELSAT 10-02
Spacecraft in subparagraph B.2 below of ************* the present value of the
stream of all the performance payments, which is calculated using a ******

*******, with the first payment adjusted for
rounding to ******** for a Spacecraft which is successfully injected and which,
during the period of in-orbit testing is in satisfactory operation and which,
immediately after its arrival at the orbital station designated by INTELSAT,
achieves a continuous ******* period of satisfactory operation as defined by
this Contract, provided that such ******* period shall include at least
**********. If such initial ******* period does not include ********* the
amounts provided for in this subparagraph B.2 shall be paid to the Contractor
upon the completion of the said continuous ******** period of satisfactory
operation; provided that, if the Spacecraft does not operate satisfactorily
throughout the ********************* the Contractor shall promptly refund said
amounts to INTELSAT. For purposes of this clause, a Spacecraft shall be deemed
to have arrived at the orbital station required by INTELSAT within a period not
to exceed ******** after the last firing of the apogee motor, provided proper
station-keeping capability has been demonstrated and achieved;

     3.     ******** for each subsequent calendar quarter of continuous
satisfactory operation of the INTELSAT10-02 Spacecraft, from the ********
quarter [through the end of the maximum orbital design life committed to in
Exhibit A irrespective of launch vehicle actually used]. The total amount
payable under this subparagraph shall equal ********** the balance of the total
amount of performance payments in the orbital incentive pool
******************* which the Contractor is entitled to receive pursuant to
subparagraphs B.2 and B.3 of this Article, divided into ********** payments
with the first payment adjusted for rounding;

following the ********* [last day of longest orbital design life committed to
in Exhibit A irrespective of launch vehicle actually used] if INTELSAT
continues to use the INTELSAT 10-02 Spacecraft for commercial purposes. The
cumulative amount of said payments under this subparagraph B.4 shall not exceed
any aggregate amounts the Contractor has failed to earn under subparagraphs B.2
and B.3 of this Article for any Spacecraft, less any amounts the Contractor has
received pursuant to Paragraph B. of Article 8 of this Contract, entitled
Satisfactory Operation.

     5.     ******** [which amount shall not exceed the amounts specified in
subparagraph B.1, hereof] for the INTELSAT 10-02 Spacecraft accepted by
INTELSAT under the terms of this Contract but which is not launched within

Spacecraft the Contractor shall be so notified and the Contractor shall refund
to INTELSAT the entire sum of ******** within ******* days prior to the date of
the scheduled launch. Following the launch of such Spacecraft, the Contractor
shall be eligible to receive applicable performance payments for such
Spacecraft in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, if the Contractor fails to deliver the Spacecraft on
or before the delivery date specified in Article 4 of this Contract, entitled
Delivery Schedule, and INTELSAT, in its sole discretion, determines that the
delayed delivery has contributed to a
launch delay, the Contractor shall not be entitled to the aforementioned amount
specified in this subparagraph B.5, for a period equal to the launch delay.”

7.     In Article 8, Satisfactory Operation, delete Paragraph B. Conditions Under
Which Performance Payments for Less Than Satisfactory Operation of a Spacecraft
May be Made in its entirety and replace with the following Paragraph:

		
	 	“B. Conditions Under Which Performance Payments for Less Than Satisfactory
Operation of a Spacecraft May be Made

     1.     During such period or periods of time that all the conditions
prescribed in Paragraph A of this Article for satisfactory operation are not
continuously met for a particular Spacecraft, but INTELSAT uses such Spacecraft
for commercial purposes during such period or periods, the parties shall
negotiate an equitable payment for such use, which payment shall, in no event,
exceed ********** of the payments provided for in Article 6 of this Contract,
entitled Spacecraft Performance Payments, subparagraphs B.2 through B.4, with
respect to the period or periods of such use. The amount of the negotiated
payment shall reflect three principal components: (1) the operational
capabilities of the Spacecraft with the deficiencies as compared to the
operational capabilities thereof without the deficiencies; (2) the operating
usefulness to INTELSAT of the satellite in the total INTELSAT system with the
deficiencies as compared to the operating usefulness thereof without the
deficiencies; and, (3) any additional costs INTELSAT may incur and any revenue
it may lose as a result of the failure of the Spacecraft to continuously meet
the conditions prescribed in Paragraph A of this Article. For purposes of such
negotiation, it is the intent of the parties that the reduction of performance
payments for each Failed Transponder shall be
************************************************** of the original performance
incentive payment which would otherwise be payable for the periods of failure.
If INTELSAT elects not to use such degraded Spacecraft for commercial
communications purposes, no further performance payments shall be made to the
Contractor for such Spacecraft. INTELSAT’s decision on Spacecraft use shall be
final and conclusive.

2.     Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Paragraphs A or B.1 or any
provisions in this Contract to the contrary, if any of the events defined in
B.2.a through B.2.j below occur at any time during the ******** period
immediately following successful injection, the Contractor shall pay to
INTELSAT a one time warranty assessment of ********* within ******* days of
INTELSAT’s demand for such payment. The criteria for in-orbit events is
defined as follows:

	 	a.	 	Loss of redundancy of one of the following major electronics
units: Spacecraft Control Unit (SCU), ADE4, PSR, MPIU, PPU or
telemetry transmitter. This excludes loss of non-mission critical
functions;
	 
	 	b.	 	Total loss of redundancy on any given repeater transponder
due to active component (converters, LNAs, CAMPs, Linearizers,
TWTAs) or inability to steer any of the earth deck steerable
antennas;
	 
	 	c.	 	Loss of more than two solar array strings of either solar
array wing or loss of more than one battery cell of either battery;
	 
	 	d.	 	Failure to reach geostationary orbit station longitude with
at least 13 years of orbital life (excluding launch vehicle
failure);

- 7 -

 

Asterisks (“**”) indicate omitted material pursuant to a request for confidential treatment

Amendment No.4

INTEL-2400

	 	e.	 	Loss of earth pointing resulting in a traffic outage of more
than one hour due to an on-board software or hardware anomaly after
start of service (IOT excluded);
	 
	 	f.	 	Loss of either SPT100 thruster pair or their pointing
mechanism (north or south Thruster Motor Assembly (TMA));
	 
	 	g.	 	Loss of more than one gyro or more than one momentum/reaction
wheel;
	 
	 	h.	 	Loss of either earth sensor;
	 
	 	i.	 	Loss of either solar array drive mechanism (telemetry
functions excluded);
	 
	 	j.	 	Loss of a chemical thrusters pair that results in additional
use of propellant to maintain station keeping or pointing control
which will result in less than 13 years lifetime.

Excluded from the above criteria (B.2.a through B.2.j) are events that occur in
the period from launch to the completion of in-orbit testing which (i) the
Contractor corrects via software or operational procedures which result in the
Spacecraft operating in accordance with Exhibit A to the Contract, without cost
to, or use of additional resources by INTELSAT or delay to the scheduled
in-service date of the Spacecraft; (ii) are due to operator error; (iii) are
caused by the launch vehicle. The determination that an event has occurred
shall be mutually agreed between the parties.

Should an event occur which may appear to fall under multiple criteria, the
Contractor shall only be liable for damages once per event (i.e. no doubling of
damages) and a maximum liability under this Paragraph of *********.

INTELSAT reserves the right to offset any amounts due to INTELSAT by the
Contractor against any amounts otherwise due the Contractor under this
Contract.

Payment to INTELSAT under this Paragraph is (i) intended to be compensatory and
does not constitute a penalty; and (ii) shall be in addition to any other
remedies available to INTELSAT under this Contract.”

8.     In Article 10, Price Adjustments for Late and Early Delivery, replace
paragraph A in its entirety with the following paragraph and delete paragraph B
in its entirety:

“ARTICLE 10.  —  PRICE ADJUSTMENTS FOR LATE AND EARLY DELIVERY

     A.     Late Delivery

     INTELSAT intends to enter into one or more contracts with launch service
providers for launch of the Spacecraft to be delivered under this Contract.
Since the launch dates will be established to be consistent with the Spacecraft
delivery schedules contained in this Contract, the Contractor and INTELSAT
agree that time is of the essence in this Contract, and that delayed delivery
of the Items required by this Contract may cause INTELSAT to incur additional

- 8 -

Amendment No.4

INTEL-2400

costs, including launch service postponement fees, loss of anticipated revenue,
and other damages difficult or impossible to measure. Accordingly, the
Contractor and INTELSAT agree to liquidated damages for late delivery as
provided below, which damages are intended to be compensatory and do not
constitute a penalty.

In the event any Spacecraft and associated flight equipment to be delivered
hereunder is not delivered on or before the delivery dates specified in this
Contract and in accordance with Article 14 of this Contract, entitled
Inspection and Final Acceptance excluding the number of days of excusable
delay, if any, within the meaning of Article 20 of this Contract, entitled
Excusable Delays, then: (i) if INTELSAT elects to have the Spacecraft and
associated flight equipment delivered to storage pursuant to Article 39 of this
Contract entitled Storage of Spacecraft, the Contractor shall provide such
storage, including necessary refurbishment/retest as required to demonstrate
that the Spacecraft performance is maintained, free-of-charge, for a period not
to exceed **********; and (ii) until such Spacecraft and associated flight
equipment is delivered, commencing on the first day following the specified
delivery date, the price of such a Spacecraft and associated flight equipment
shall be reduced for late delivery as follows:

     1.     For purposes of price adjustments for late delivery, the price
reduction specified above, shall be applicable to each Spacecraft and
associated flight equipment to be delivered hereunder. If Intelsat elects to
have the Spacecraft delivered to storage, additional liquidated damages for
late delivery (beyond those assessed prior to storage) shall not be assessed
during the storage period.

     2.     INTELSAT may, at its sole option, waive the daily price reduction for
late delivery specified above, after all launch site testing and integration
activities leading up to Spacecraft fueling, including the Launch Readiness
Review, are successfully completed, with the contingency that price adjustments
will again accrue if any deficiencies in the Spacecraft are subsequently found
which cause any delay to the delivery schedule.

     3.     For a Spacecraft and associated flight equipment which is delivered
late, INTELSAT shall have the sole right to determine against which payments
due the Contractor, pursuant to the terms of this Contract, the adjustments
specified above for late delivery of such Spacecraft and associated flight
equipment will be offset. If no payments are owed to the Contractor, then
INTELSAT shall obtain repayment from the Contractor for the price reduction
within ****** days. The determination by INTELSAT as to these adjustments for
late delivery shall be final and binding on the Contractor.

     4.     In the event INTELSAT designates a storage location rather than a
launch site as a place of delivery for any of the Spacecraft and associated
flight equipment to be delivered hereunder, the applicable date for determining
the price adjustments shall be the date that the said Spacecraft and associated
flight equipment has passed all the in-plant tests required by this Contract
and has arrived at the storage location designated by INTELSAT. Upon release
of the Spacecraft from storage until successful completion of all
launch site testing and integration activities, including the Launch Readiness
Review, price reductions for late delivery shall be reinstated if any
deficiencies in the

Spacecraft are found either at the Contractor’s plant or at
the launch site, which are deemed to cause a delay in the delivery of the
Spacecraft for launch.

     5.     If the Contractor does not meet the delivery dates specified in the
Contract and INTELSAT does not exercise its right to terminate this Contract
for cause in accordance with Article 21 hereof entitled Termination for Cause,
the price reduction provided for in Paragraph A hereof, shall be the sole
compensation to which INTELSAT shall be entitled for delays in deliveries of
Spacecraft and associated flight equipment for the number of days stated in
this Paragraph A. However, if at any time INTELSAT exercises its right to
terminate this Contract for the cause, which right may be exercised if INTELSAT
determines that the Contractor has not or will not be able to deliver a
spacecraft prior to the expiration of the total number of days stated in the
appropriate table above, INTELSAT shall also be entitled to recover the Maximum
Price Adjustment provided in Paragraph A as additional compensation in addition
to any rights and remedies available pursuant to this Contract or at law.

     6.     Nothing contained in this Paragraph A shall affect any right or remedy
otherwise available to INTELSAT under this Contract or by law for delay
exceeding the number of days stated in Paragraph A hereof.

“7.6 10-01 and 10-02 simulator versions

The following defines the applicability of requirements herein to the simulator
versions to be delivered for 10-01 and 10-02 spacecraft configurations:

10-01 Configuration

The first delivery of the spacecraft control simulator shall be based on the
10-01 on-board software version (R_IP_SYS1) used for simulator acceptance
testing. Further upgrades and technical support for this version shall be
limited to the following:

1.     A listing of known non conformances related to simulator models in this
version will be provided.

2.     A single upgrade shall be delivered to provide the following simulator
enhancements: (a) updated LIASS model with capability to modify the sensor
alignment; (b) one starting context for transfer mission; and (c) one context
for on-station operation, with LIASS in the Proton alignment.

3.     The upgrades described in (2) above shall be provided in CD-ROM format, and
shall include a technical note describing use of the LIASS re-alignment
capability.

4.     Provide informal training (2 days) at contractor’s facility, to demonstrate
operation of the 10-01 simulator version, including the upgrades described in
(2) above.

5.     Trouble shooting support shall be provided, but limited to the Users Manual
and Flight Operating Procedures already delivered at the time of 10-01
simulator delivery.

Except for items listed above, no further maintenance shall be performed for
the 10-01 spacecraft control simulator version.

- 18 -

 

Asterisks (“**”) indicate omitted material pursuant to a request for confidential treatment

Amendment No.4

INTEL-2400

10-02 Configuration

Further simulator upgrades shall be made consistent with the delivery of 10-02
flight software versions. These upgrades shall comply with all technical
requirements herein, and shall be fully representative of the 10-02-flight
software and database, except for baseline (10-01) models for Payload and
Thermal Control Subsystem. The Contractor’s support for the
10-02 simulator versions shall comply with requirements described herein,
including testing, documentation, training and warranty. These upgrades will
accommodate the 10-02-flight software and database but will not be
representative of the 10-02-payload subsystem. 10-02 thermal simulations will
be simplified as follows: In transfer, the thermal simulation will be based on
the 10-01 thermal model, which keeps service module temperature simulated.
Payload temperature will only be representative by thermal zone assuming
payload is OFF. On each thermal zone, heating power will also be simulated. DC
loads and temperatures will be representative of the 10-01 DSSS version 2.0.
On-station, the service module temperature will still be simulated. Payload
will be simulated at constant temperature.”

21.     Under Article 2, Scope of Work, and Exhibit D, Intelsat X Test Plan, ****************************************.

22.     Delete Exhibit F, Milestone Payment Plan, Revision 2 in its entirety and
replace with Exhibit F, Milestone Payment Plan, Revision 3, attached hereto as
Attachment No.1 to Amendment No.4.

     Except as expressly provided herein, all other terms and conditions of
Contract INTEL-2400, as amended, shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect.

     This Amendment No.4 shall become effective upon Contractor’s payment in
full to Intelsat pursuant to Article 60, Termination of Intelsat 10-01. This
Amendment No.4 shall be rendered null and void and of no force and effect if
the Contractor does not pay Intelsat within the time period prescribed in such
Article 60.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Amendment No. 4

to an immediate obligation to contribute the unpaid In-Kind
Contribution in cash to the Company.

Agreement, (i) TVB and TVBI shall sell, convey, transfer and assign to the

and accept, all right, title and interest in and to the Original Galaxy Shares
and (ii) TVB and Galaxy shall take all action required to effect such sale and
purchase in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Articles
of Association of Galaxy; and upon the completion of such sale and purchase,
(A) the Company shall be the legal and beneficial owner of one Original Galaxy

     2.2.     Funding.

     (a)     Although funding of the Parties’ Cash and In-Kind Contributions will
be effected in stages during the three-year period following the Closing Date
as provided above, the Shares shall be fully-paid and non-assessable upon
issuance by the Company to the Parties on the Closing Date. The Parties shall
pay Cash Contributions during the initial three-year period in the following
amounts:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Intelsat	 	TVB
	 	 	
	 	

	 	 	(HK$M)	 	(HK$M)
	 	 	 	 	 
	On the date of Closing
	 	 	173.9	 	 	 	138.1	 
	On January 2, 2004
	 	 	158.3	 	 	 	45.2	 
	On January 3, 2005
	 	 	81.1	 	 	 	13.3	 

     (b)     If any Party is in default in the funding of its Cash or In-Kind
Contribution, such Party’s voting rights in the Company and the Company’s
Subsidiaries shall be reduced in proportion to the amount outstanding and such
Party’s right to consider matters requiring Shareholder Approval set out in
Section 2.8 shall be suspended until payment is made in accordance with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding such forfeiture of rights, the Defaulting Party
shall nevertheless remain liable to pay to the Company the unpaid
Cash or In-Kind Contribution.

     2.3.     Further Financing.

     (a)     Intelsat’s Cash Contribution and TVB’s Cash Contribution
(collectively, the “Initial Cash Contribution”) shall be used by the Company
and Galaxy to fund capital expenditures for the procurement of necessary
equipment, building access costs, costs of constructing the facilities and the
operating costs, service rollout costs and operating losses, and for general
working capital purposes during the three-year period following the Closing
Date, in each case, in accordance with the 3-Year Business Plan that is
attached hereto as Annex 4 (“Start-Up and Initial Operational Costs”).

     (b)     If the Board of Directors determines that the Initial Cash
Contribution is insufficient to fund the Start-Up and Initial Operational Costs
as contemplated by the 3-Year Business Plan, then the Shareholders shall each
contribute an additional amount of capital to the Company to fund such costs up
to an aggregate of HK$170,100,000 of additional capital in exchange for
additional Shares at the Per Share Purchase Price, and each Shareholder shall
fund its Applicable Portion of such additional capital in such instalments as
shall be determined by the Board of Directors consistent with the 3-Year
Business Plan.

     (c)     If more than HK$780,000,000 is required to fund the Start-Up and
Initial Operational Costs, as contemplated by the 3-year Business Plan, as
determined by the Board of Directors on the basis of a comparison of the actual
costs therefor and the funds available from Shareholders pursuant hereto, then
the Shareholders may (but shall not be required to) contribute

to the Company such amount of additional funding as the Board of Directors shall determine is
required to fund the Start-Up and Initial Operational Costs in accordance with
the 3-Year Business Plan. Each Shareholder shall have the right (but shall not
be required) to contribute a portion of such additional funding equal to such
Shareholder’s Applicable Portion thereof by way of a loan bearing interest at a
rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate announced by Citibank N.A. at
the time of the making of such loan or any instalment thereof, plus a margin of
1.5% per annum. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of any such loan
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year and shall
be paid quarterly in arrears. The maturity date of any such loan shall be
subject to mutual agreement of the Company and the Shareholder that advances
such loan. The principal of and all interest on any such loan shall be secured
by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s properties and
assets, provided that such security interest may be subordinate to the security
granted to secure any bank loan related to refinancing the Teleport Loan. If
any Shareholder loans such funds to the Company, the Company shall execute and
deliver to such Shareholder such promissory notes, security agreements and
other agreements, instruments or documents as the contributing Shareholder may
reasonably request in order to evidence such loan and security or the terms
thereof.

Subscription and Shareholders Agreement and (B) the TVB

provided, however, that, so long as TVB or Intelsat shall hold at least 25% of
the outstanding Shares, a quorum of shareholders for any meeting shall not be
constituted without the presence thereat (in person or by proxy) of such
Shareholder that holds at least 25% of all Shares then outstanding; provided
further, however, that if any meeting of shareholders is adjourned or cancelled
from failure to constitute a quorum due to the absence thereat of TVB or
Intelsat, then such meeting shall be rescheduled in accordance with the
Memorandum and Articles of Association to a date not less than five nor more
than fifteen days after the originally scheduled meeting, and at such
rescheduled meeting a quorum of shareholders shall be constituted by the
presence thereat of such shareholders as shall hold at least 25% of all Shares

     (a)     The Board of Directors shall consist of seven (7) members, one of whom
(the “Nominated Director”) shall be nominated by a Nomination Committee
consisting of one member appointed by the Shareholder B and two members
appointed by the Shareholder A, so long as such Shareholder, together with its
Affiliates, owns at least 40% of the Shares. The election of the
director-designee nominated by the Nomination Committee shall be subject to
mutual agreement of each of TVB and Intelsat so long as such Shareholder,
together with its Affiliates, owns at least 40% of the Shares; provided,
however, that if Shareholder B fails to approve the Nomination Committee’s
director nominee, the Nomination Committee shall select another candidate for
Shareholder B’s consideration and approval. If Shareholder B fails to approve
such second director-nominee, the Nomination Committee shall, by majority vote
of members, select a third nominee who shall be appointed to serve as a
director of the Company. The election of the other members of the Board of
Directors shall be determined by the vote in person or by proxy of the
Shareholders, as hereinafter provided. The Nominated Director shall be elected
to the Board of Directors by the Shareholders, and each Shareholder agrees to
vote all Shares owned by it in favor of the election of the person so
nominated. Upon the death, resignation or incapacity of the Nominated Director,
his replacement shall be nominated by the Nomination Committee in accordance
with the procedures set forth above, and all of the Shareholders shall vote all
Shares owned by them in favor of the appointment of such nominee to the Board
of Directors in order to fill the vacancy created by such death, resignation or
incapacity. The Nominated Director may be removed from office upon motion by
Shareholder A, provided that the resulting vacancy on the Board of Directors
shall be filled by a nominee nominated by the Nomination Committee in
accordance with the procedures set forth above.

     (b)     Upon subscription of the Shares as provided in Section 2.1(a), each
Shareholder shall have the right, with respect to each block of Shares
representing 16% of all Shares outstanding held by such Shareholder and its
Affiliates (each, a “Shareholding Block”), to elect one of the seven members of
the Company’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, Intelsat and TVB shall each
have the right to elect three directors as of the Closing Date. At any time
after a Shareholding Block of a Shareholder and its Affiliates represents less
than 16% of all Shares outstanding, (A) the director elected by such
Shareholder on the basis of such Shareholding Block shall be deemed to have
resigned and shall be removed from the Board of Directors, and (B) if the other
Shareholder still holds at least 48% of the outstanding Shares it may elect a
director to fill the resulting vacancy. TVB shall be entitled to nominate one
of its directors as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.

     (c)     TVB acknowledges and agrees that each of its director nominees shall
qualify as “residents” of Hong Kong, as defined in the Pay TV License and Hong

Shareholder who nominated such director pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this
Section 2.6 shall be entitled to nominate his replacement to the Board of
Directors, and all of the Shareholders shall vote all Shares owned by them in
favor of the appointment of such nominee to the Board of Directors in order to
fill the vacancy created by such death, resignation or incapacity. Any
director shall be removed from office upon motion by the Shareholder that
nominated him as of right pursuant to clause (b) or (c) or this clause (d) of
this Section 2.6, and the vacancy on the Board of Directors so created by such
removal shall be filled by a nominee nominated by such Shareholder. No
director appointed by any Shareholder as of right pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
or this clause (d) of this Section 2.6 shall be removed from the Board of
Directors unless the nominating Shareholder consents to such removal or except
as otherwise provided in clause (b) above.

     (e)     The persons nominated to the Board of Directors in accordance with the
preceding subsections (b), (c) and (d) shall be elected to the Board of
Directors by the Shareholders, and each Shareholder agrees to vote all Shares
owned by it in favor of the election of the persons so nominated.

     (f)     Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be called by the
Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the Company not less frequently than
quarterly each year. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called
by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer or any two members of the Board of
Directors. A quorum of directors shall be constituted for any meeting of the
Board of Directors by the presence thereat of a majority of directors;
provided, however, that, so long as any Shareholder has a right to nominate at
least two members of the Board of Directors pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6, a quorum of members of the Board of Directors
shall require the presence of at least one director nominated by such
Shareholder; provided further, however, that if any meeting of the Board of
Directors is adjourned or cancelled from failure to constitute a quorum due to
the absence thereat of a director nominated by any Shareholder, as contemplated
by this clause, then such meeting shall be rescheduled in accordance with the
Memorandum and Articles of Association to a date not less than five nor more
than fifteen days after the originally scheduled meeting. If such rescheduled
meeting is further adjourned or cancelled based on the absence of a quorum due
to the absence thereat of a director nominated by any Shareholder, as
contemplated by this clause, then such meeting shall be rescheduled in
accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association to a date not less
than five nor more than fifteen days after the date of the rescheduled meeting,
and in this case, the Shareholders agree that the number of directors who are
present at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, any Shareholder may designate by notice to
the Company and the other Shareholders an alternate person to serve or act
temporarily as a member of the Board of Directors in lieu of any director
nominated by such Shareholder.

     (g)     To the extent permitted by applicable law, directors may participate

address specified by such Shareholder for notices or to such address as such
director shall specify in writing to the Company from time to time.

     (i)     The Shareholders shall have the same rights with respect to any

     (a)     Subject to clause (c) below, the officers of the Company shall be

meeting of the Board of Directors duly called and held at which a quorum is
present or by the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors.

     (b)     Each officer shall have the powers and shall fulfil the duties
assigned thereto by the Board of Directors and otherwise prescribed for such
office in the Articles of Association of the Company. Nothing in this Section
2.7 shall limit the right of the Board of Directors to determine or to amend
from time to time the duties of any officer or member of senior management of
the Company or any Subsidiary.

     (c)     Effective from the Closing Date, and except as otherwise provided
herein,

	 	(i)	 	The Shareholder A shall have the right to
nominate, appoint, remove and re-nominate from time to time
individuals to occupy the offices of Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer shall be subject to the approval of
other Shareholder to the extent and in the manner provided

	 	(ii)	 	The Shareholder B shall have the right to

the right to approve the Chief Executive Officer if such Shareholder (together

2.7. If the Shareholder B fails to approve the Shareholder A’s nominee for the
Chief Executive Officer position, Shareholder A shall nominate another
candidate for Shareholder B’s consideration and approval. If Shareholder B
fails to approve such second Chief Executive Officer-nominee, Shareholder A
shall select a third nominee who shall be appointed to serve as the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Shareholder A may remove the Chief Executive
Officer from office, provided that his replacement shall be appointed in
accordance with procedures set forth in the preceding two sentences.

     2.8.     Matters Requiring Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company or the equivalent
governing documents with respect to any Subsidiary, and to the full extent
permitted by applicable law, TVB, Intelsat and the Company agree that, after
the date hereof and continuing until such time as such Shareholder and its
Affiliates together hold fewer than 40% of the outstanding Shares (or, in the
case of the transactions or matters described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or

     2.9.     Confidentiality Agreement.

     (a)     At all times during the term of this Agreement, each Shareholder will
keep, and shall cause, its agents and representatives (collectively the
“Representatives” of such Shareholder) to keep, all Confidential Information
strictly confidential and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, use or
exploit such information for any purpose other than the good faith management
of the business and affairs of the Group Companies. As used herein,
“Confidential Information” means any information, documents or data in any form
that may contain non-public information relating to any Group Company, any
Shareholder or any Affiliate of any Shareholder or the business affairs
thereof, including technical information, data, processes and methodologies,
trade secrets, market analyses, pricing information, customer lists, research,
software, general know-how, designs and commercial and other proprietary or
confidential information or data and any financial results or information;
provided, however, that “Confidential Information” does not include information
that is within the public domain (other than as a result of the actions of a
party hereto disclosing or seeking to disclose the same) or information that
was known by a party prior to the disclosure thereof by a Group Company, so
long as such party can provide reasonably satisfactory evidence of such prior
knowledge. The parties acknowledge that certain Confidential Information may be
contained in, or disclosed pursuant to, proposals, applications or other
materials from time to time relating to Pay TV License, the Satellite Up-link
License, the FTNS License, and the Company Business. The parties agree that
the Group Companies may make such disclosures to the extent the Group Company
reasonably determines such disclosure to be beneficial to the conduct or
objectives of the Company Business; provided, however, that the Group Company
shall, to the extent permitted and practicable, use its best endeavors to cause
such Confidential Information to treated confidentially.

     (b)     Except for disclosure by a Shareholder to such Shareholder’s legal
counsel, accountants or financial or tax advisers who have a need to know such
information, no Shareholder will disclose or shall permit any of its
Representatives to disclose any Confidential Information to any Person or
entity without prior written consent of other Shareholders and the Company, and
any disclosure by a Shareholder of any Confidential Information to any legal
counsel, accountant or tax adviser will be made only after such persons have
been advised of the confidential nature of such information. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent any party from disclosing any Confidential Information
(i) to the extent required by law, rule or regulation (including without
limitation the regulations of and agreements with securities regulatory
authority or any stock exchange on which such the securities of such party or
its Affiliates may be listed), (ii) as necessary in connection with any
arbitration proceeding or legal action between the parties, or (iii) as
reasonably necessary to effect a sale of its interest in the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the
case of any disclosure pursuant to clause (iii), the party seeking to disclose
such information shall inform the Company and the other Shareholders thereof
and shall obtain from the party to whom such disclosure is proposed to be made
a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably prescribed by the
Board of Directors.

     (c)     None of the Shareholders or the Company shall issue a press release or
other public announcement of the transactions or relationship contemplated
hereby or the investment by any party in the Company or the Company Business
without the consent of the other parties,

which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each party shall cooperate with respect to
the content of any such press release or public announcement and coordinate the
release or dissemination thereof with the other parties.

ARTICLE 3.     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

     3.1.     General.

     (a)     The Shareholders agree that during the term of this Agreement, no
Shareholder shall sell, exchange, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise encumber or permit to be encumbered, give or otherwise dispose of,
whether any such disposition shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or
be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any
judgment, order, rule or regulation of any administrative body (any of said
acts being hereinafter referred to as “disposed of” or as a “disposition”) any
of the Shares now or hereafter owned by such Shareholder, except in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees that it will not
transfer or recognize any disposition of Shares except in compliance with this
Agreement. The Shareholders acknowledge that the Change of Control of a
Shareholder or of the Person that owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting
equity securities of such Shareholder shall constitute a “disposition” or
“sale” of the Shares for purposes of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 below and
the Shareholder so affected by the Change of Control shall promptly give
written notice to the other Shareholder.

     (b)     Either TVB or Intelsat (a “Transferor”) may transfer any Shares owned
by it to any Affiliate of such Transferor; provided, however, that (i) upon and
after such transfer, the Transferor shall remain liable to cause the transferee
Affiliate to perform and observe all of the agreements of the Transferor under
this Agreement; (ii) the Transferor shall be deemed to have retained the right
to re-acquire the Shares so transferred to such transferee Affiliate without
consideration, which right shall be deemed automatically exercised upon any
divestiture by such Transferor of a controlling interest in such transferee
Affiliate; and (iii) such transferee Affiliate shall, at the time of such
transfer, furnish a written agreement to and for the benefit of each of the
parties to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee acknowledges and
agrees to the provisions of this clause.

     (c)     Subject
to the Right of First Refusal described in Section 3.2 below,
Intelsat may transfer up to 25% of the Shares initially issued to it on the
Closing Date to any Person without the prior consent of TVB.

     (d)     During the period from the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of
the Closing Date (“Lock-in Period”), neither Shareholder shall dispose of any
Shares without the prior written consent of the other Shareholder and such
disposal if consent is given by the other Shareholder is subject to the right
of first refusal as provided in Section 3.2 below, except as contemplated by
Section 3.1(b) above or as elsewhere expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

     3.2.     Right of First Refusal.

     (a)     Except as provided in clause (e) below, if, at any time following the
Lock-In Period, a Shareholder (“Offeror”) agrees upon or enters into a bona
fide arrangement with a third party (“Third Party Purchaser”) to sell to such
Third Party Purchaser all or a portion of the Company’s Shares held by such
Offeror, then the Offeror shall first offer such Shares (“Offered Shares”) to
the other Shareholder if more than one, on a pro-rata basis (“Offeree”). Such
offer shall be made by written notice (“Offer Notice”) delivered to the Offeree
and specifying the number of Offered Shares, the offering price per share
offered to and agreed upon by the Third Party Purchaser and the Offeror and any
other terms and conditions of such offer that were agreed upon by the Third
Party Purchaser and the Offeror. If any part of the price contemplated to be
paid by the Third Party Purchaser to purchase the Offered Shares consists of
property or assets other than cash, then the Offer Notice shall also set forth
such Offeror’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the cash value of such
consideration and the manner by which such estimate was determined. If the
Offeree disputes the Offeror’s estimate, the Offeror shall obtain at its
expense an appraisal of the Offered Shares conducted by a mutually agreed upon
independent appraisal firm. If the Shareholders are unable to agree upon such
appraisal firm, then either Shareholder may request that the President of the
Hong Kong Society of Accountants specify or recommend an independent appraiser,
and any Person so specified or recommended shall thereupon become the
independent appraiser hereunder.

     (b)     The Offeree shall have the right (“Right of First Refusal”) to accept
such offer and to purchase (itself or through an Affiliate) all, but not less
than all, of such Offered Shares at the price and upon the terms and conditions
set forth in such Offer Notice.

     (c)     Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Offer Notice or, as
applicable, the determination of the appraised value in the case of non-cash
consideration or a Change of Control (“Notice Period”), the Offeree shall
respond to the Offeror by giving the Offeror written notice (“Reply Notice”)
specifying whether the Offeree intends or declines to exercise the Right of
First Refusal. If the Offeree specifies in its Reply Notice that it intends to
exercise the Right of First Refusal (“Acceptance Notice”), then a binding
agreement for the sale and purchase of the Offered Shares at the price and on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice shall automatically be
deemed to exist between the Offeror and the Offeree, and such sale and purchase
shall be consummated no later than 30 calendar days after the delivery of such
Acceptance Notice (“Completion Date”).

     (d)     If the Offeree has not timely delivered a Reply Notice to the Offeror
or if, because of the actions or inactions of the Offeree, the purchase and
sale has not occurred within the 30-day period contemplated by clause (c)
above, then the Offeree shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First
Refusal and the Offeror shall have the right to sell the Offered Shares to the
Third Party Purchaser upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer
Notice; provided that such sale and purchase is consummated (i) within 15 days
following the last day of the Notice Period or, (ii) if a Completion Date has
been determined, within 15 days following such Completion Date.

     (e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the disposition of Shares by a
Shareholder to an Affiliate pursuant to Section 3.1(b) above shall not be
subject to the Right of First Refusal of

 

 

	 	 
	15	SUBSCRIPTION
AND SHAREHOLDERS
AGREEMENT

 

Asterisks ("**") indicate omitted
material.

the other Shareholder hereunder, and (ii) no Shareholder shall be required to give a Right of First Refusal to any
other Shareholder that owns fewer than 25% of the outstanding Shares at the
time the Offer Notice would otherwise be given hereunder.

     (f)     In connection with any such disposition of Shares pursuant to this
Section 3.2, the disposing Shareholder or such Affiliate shall deliver to the
other Shareholder a true and complete copy of all agreements relating to such
transaction in order to enable the other Shareholder to verify compliance with
this Section 3.2; provided, however, that, the other Shareholder will treat
such agreements and their contents as Confidential Information, as provided in
Section 2.9 above.

     (g)     The Parties agree that the foregoing Right of First Refusal provisions
shall also apply in the case of any direct or indirect Change of Control of a
Shareholder (the “Controlled Shareholder”); provided that they shall not apply
to any Change of Control of the TVB Sponsor or the Intelsat Sponsor. In that
case, such proposed Change of Control shall be deemed an offer by the
Controlled Shareholder to sell its Shares of the Company to the Offeree for the
fair market value of such Shares; provided, however, that the purchase price
payable for the Shares by the Offeree shall be determined at the Controlled
Shareholder’s expense by a mutually agreed upon appraisal firm. If the
Shareholders are unable to agree upon such appraisal firm, then either
Shareholder may request that the President of the Hong Kong Society of
Accountants specify or recommend an independent appraiser, and any Person so
specified or recommended shall thereupon become the independent appraiser
hereunder.

     3.3.     Tag Along.

     (a)     Subject to Section 3.1(d), if either Shareholder or any Affiliate
thereof (the “Selling Party”) shall enter into any contract or transaction
involving the disposition of its Shares to a third party that is not an
Affiliate (“Disposition”), then the Selling Party shall give notice thereof
(“Disposition Notice”) to the other Shareholder (the “Tag Along Party”) at
least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such transaction. Such
Disposition Notice shall describe the Disposition in reasonable detail and
shall set forth a description of the price per Share at which the Shares owned
by the Selling Party are proposed to be disposed of pursuant thereto. If any
part of the price contemplated to be received by the Selling Party in respect
of the Shares held by it consists of property or assets other than cash, then
such notice shall also set forth the Selling Party’s good faith and reasonable
estimate of the cash value of such consideration and the manner by which such
estimate was determined.

     (b)     Upon the receipt of such Disposition Notice from the Selling Party,
the Tag Along Party shall have the right (“Tag Along Right”) to participate in
the Disposition by disposing of such number of its own Shares as provided
below, in the manner set forth below, and at the same price per Share and
otherwise on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Disposition
Notice.

     (c)     The number of Shares that the Tag Along Party shall be entitled to
include in the Disposition shall equal the product of (i) the total number of
Shares proposed to be disposed of in such transaction, times (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares

held by the Tag Along Party and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares held by
TVB (and its Affiliates) and Intelsat (and its Affiliates), in each case
rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares.

     (d)     Within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Disposition Notice, the Tag
Along Party shall respond to the Selling Party by giving the Selling Party
written notice specifying whether the Tag Along Party intends or declines to
exercise the Tag Along Right. If the Tag Along Party specifies in such notice
that it intends to exercise the Tag Along Right (“Tag Along Notice”), then a
binding agreement for the sale and purchase of the Tag Along Party’s Shares at
the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Disposition Notice
shall automatically be deemed to exist between the Selling Party and the Tag
Along Party, and such sale and purchase shall be consummated contemporaneously
with the consummation of the Disposition.

     (e)     If the Tag Along Party has not delivered such notice to the Selling
Party, then the Tag Along Party shall be deemed to have waived its Tag Along
Right and the Selling Party shall have the right to consummate the Disposition
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Disposition Notice.

     (f)     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Selling
Party shall, in addition to complying with the provisions of this Section 3.3,
comply with the provisions of Section 3.2 (it being understood that the Section
3.2 Offer Notice and the Section 3.3 Disposition Notice may be included in a
single notice), and each Selling Party, prior to transferring any Shares in
accordance with this Section 3.3, shall comply with the provisions of Section
3.2.

3.4.     Legends. Each certificate representing Shares shall have endorsed on
its face the following legend:

		
	 	“The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the securities laws of any country.”
	 
	 	“The sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the shares
represented by this certificate is restricted by, and such shares
are subject to the provisions of, the Subscription and
Shareholders Agreement dated as of •20 February 2003, a copy of
which is on file at the office of the Company and the provisions
of which are incorporated herein by reference.”

A copy of this Agreement shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company
immediately after execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto, and
shall be made available for inspection by the Shareholders at the registered
office of the Company. Each Shareholder agrees that, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, it shall deliver all certificates
representing Shares owned by it to the Secretary of the Company in order that
the legend set forth above may be imprinted thereon. The Company undertakes to
endorse on the certificates representing any Shares issued to the Shareholders
after the date hereof the legend set forth above.

     3.5. Rights of Future Holders and Transferees. Automatically upon the
transfer of Shares or upon the occurrence of any other permitted transfer or
issuance of Shares hereunder, the purchaser or acquirer of such Shares shall
become a “Shareholder” within the meaning of

 

 

	 	 
	17	SUBSCRIPTION

Asterisks ("**") indicate omitted

this Agreement, and shall become entitled to the rights and benefits, and subject to the terms, conditions and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Any such purchaser or acquirer of
Shares (including any Affiliate of any Shareholder that acquires any Shares)
and the transferor Shareholder thereof shall be required, as a condition
precedent to the effectuation of such transfer, to execute and deliver a
joinder agreement in such form as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors
of the Company pursuant to which (i) such purchaser or acquirer agrees to
assume and to be bound by all of the obligations and terms of this Agreement,
and (ii) the transferor Shareholder agrees to remain liable for any actions or
events occurring prior to the date of transfer and to indemnify the Company for
any costs or taxes relating to such transfer.

     3.6.     Articles. At such time as any restrictions on transfer in this
Agreement shall be modified or cease to be in effect, the Shareholders shall
procure that any equivalent restrictions in the Memorandum and Articles of
Association of the Company are deleted therefrom or modified accordingly.

ARTICLE 4.     ISSUE OF NEW SHARES

     4.1.     Pre-emptive Rights. Subject to Section 2.3(b) above, any unissued
Shares in the capital of the Company from time to time shall, before they are
issued or offered to any Person, be offered to each Shareholder in proportion
to such Shareholder’s Applicable Portion (and such offer shall be at the same
price and on the same terms to each such holder). Such offer shall be made by
notice specifying the number of Shares offered, the Applicable Portion of the
relevant Shareholder, the price per share and limiting a period (not being less
than 30 days) within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to be
declined and after the expiration of such period the Company shall offer the
Shares so declined to the Shareholders who have, within the said period,
accepted all the Shares offered to them in the same manner as the original
offer and limited by a period of not less than 14 days. If any Shares
comprised in such further offer are declined, or deemed to be declined such
further offer shall be withdrawn in respect of such Shares. At the expiration
of the time limited by the notice(s) the Company shall allot the Shares so
offered to or amongst the Shareholders who have notified their willingness to
take all or any of such Shares in accordance with the terms of the offer. None
of the Shareholders shall be obliged to take more than the maximum number of

any other Transaction Document;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	resulting from a default in the performance of

     (b)     The term “TVB Damages” shall mean all losses, costs, expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), fees, liabilities and
damages sustained by TVB, any Affiliate of TVB, the Company or Galaxy:

	 	(i)	 	arising from any misrepresentation or breach of

made, against an indemnified party by a third party in respect of which an
indemnifying party may be liable hereunder, the indemnified party shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the indemnifying party; provided, however,

indemnifying party may settle such claim without the consent of the indemnified
party so long as the indemnifying party undertakes to pay the entire amount of
such settlement in accordance with the terms thereof. The indemnified party
shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion and without the consent
of the indemnifying party, to settle any such legal proceedings, claim or
demand; provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall so settle
without the consent of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall be
discharged from any liability hereunder with respect to the proceeding, claim
or demand so settled.

     (b)     TVB and Intelsat shall consult and use their reasonable efforts to
cooperate in resolving questions regarding Intelsat Damages or TVB Damages. If
either TVB or Intelsat shall believe that it has a claim under this Article,
each party shall give notice of such claim to the other party, specifying in
reasonable detail the nature of the Intelsat Damages or the TVB Damages for
which payment is claimed and the amount payable in respect thereof.

     5.7.     Interest, Claims and Limitations on Claims For Damages. Interest
shall accrue on the unpaid amount of any Intelsat Damages or TVB Damages
payable by the Parties, as

applicable, from and including the 30th day
following the date on which the indemnified party gives notice of its claim

to but excluding the date it is paid at the rate per annum equal to prime
lending rate (or equivalent) announced at the time of such loan by Citibank
N.A., plus a margin of 1.5% (calculated on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed and a year of 360 days and compounded annually).

ARTICLE 6.     AGREEMENTS RELATING TO BUSINESS PLANS AND CAPITAL

     6.1.     Business Plans and Capital.

     (a)     The Parties have jointly prepared and agreed upon a three-year budget
and business plan covering the period of the first three years of Galaxy’s Pay
TV Business and Teleport Business operations following the Closing Date (the
“3-Year Business Plan"), including a plan for the design, procurement and
construction of the Network and the Stations, a budget for such period,
projected sources and uses of cash for such period (including the nature,
amount and timing of any capital contributions or financing required for such
period). Intelsat and TVB shall cooperate with each other and with the Company
to ensure that Galaxy’s Pay TV Business and Teleport Business are conducted in
accordance with the 3-Year Business Plan during such period, as may be modified
from time to time by written agreement of the Shareholders.

     (b)     Prior to the commencement of each fiscal year of Galaxy, the
management team shall submit to the Company’s Board of Directors for its review
and approval a detailed business plan covering the next fiscal year (each, an
“Annual Business Plan"). The plan for fiscal year 2003 shall be submitted
within 90 days after the Closing Date. Each Annual Business Plan shall include
a budget for the period covered thereby, the projected sources and uses of cash
for such period (including the nature, amount and timing of any capital
contributions or financing required for such period), a strategic analysis of
the Company Business and such other matters as the Shareholders or the Board of
Directors shall specify. If the Board of Directors approves any Annual
Business Plan, then the Company shall endeavor to conduct the Company Business
in accordance therewith for the period covered thereby.

     (c)     TVB and Intelsat shall use reasonable, good faith, efforts to agree
upon an annual operating budget for the Group Companies, and each agrees that
any objections it may raise or positions it may take with respect to particular
budget items must be based on valid business reasons and may not be arbitrary
and capricious. If TVB and Intelsat are unable to agree on an annual budget
for any Group Company: (a) with respect to any given fiscal year during the
three-year period following the Closing, such Group Company shall be operated
in accordance with the budget that corresponds to the applicable period in the
3-Year Business Plan; (b) with respect to any year after the three-year period
following the Closing, such Group Company shall operate in accordance with a
budget based upon 110% of the historical costs and expenditures actually
incurred during the prior 12-month period; and (c) in the event that after the
initial three-year period TVB and Intelsat are unable to agree on an annual
budget for any Group Company consecutively for three years (a “Budget
Disagreement”), then either Shareholder may initiate the deadlock resolution
procedures set forth in Article 10 below.

and the Shareholders may cause the Shares held by them to participate in the

     8.3.     PRC Business. The Shareholders shall use all reasonable efforts to pursue
the PRC Business as soon as the PRC regulatory regime and commercial
circumstances permit. In the event that the Company, its Subsidiary or
investment vehicle obtains permission to provide pay television services in
Guangdong Province or applicable law permits the Company or a Subsidiary to
apply to provide such services: (i) the Shareholders shall use all reasonable
efforts to work together in good faith to prepare the PRC Business Plan for
consideration by the senior management of each Shareholder; and (ii) TVB (or
any of its Affiliates) shall license the News Channel, Entertainment Channel,
Children/Family Channel, TVB8 Channel and Xing He Channel supplied under the

approval from the relevant regulatory authority to provide pay television
services in Guangdong Province; and (ii) a license from TVB for distribution of
the News Channel, Entertainment Channel, Children/Family Channel, TVB8 Channel
and Xing He Channel under the Channels Supply Agreement in Guangdong Province,
the Exclusive Territory shall be expanded to include Guangdong Province,
provided that any then-existing licensing arrangements of TVB (or any of its
Affiliates) related to distribution of programming in Guangdong Province shall
not be restricted or affected by this clause. The Parties acknowledge that the
preceding clauses do not prohibit any equity investment arrangement or activity
by Intelsat or TVB (or any of their respective Affiliates) in a pay television
service business in Guangdong Province whether

Galaxy or its Subsidiary to co-invest in such venture.

     (b)     Subject to Section 8.4(c) below:

	 	(i)	 	Intelsat agrees that, so long as it and its
Affiliates together hold 25% or more of the Shares or
otherwise so long as the Satellite Capacity Agreement remains
in effect (“Intelsat Restricted Period”), neither Intelsat nor
any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, engage
in, or have any ownership interest in any Person that is
engaged in, the Pay TV Business or in any business activity
that competes with the Pay TV Business, including any
fee-for-service television provider or network or ISP service,
whether based on satellite, fiber, cable or over-the-air
transmission, in the Exclusive Territory (such Pay TV Business
or competitive business activity in the Exclusive Territory
hereinafter being referred to as a “Restricted Business”); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	TVB agrees that, so long as it and its Affiliates
together hold 25% or more of the Shares or otherwise so long
as the Channels Supply Agreement remains in effect (“TVB
Restricted Period”), neither TVB nor any of its Affiliates
shall, directly or indirectly, engage in, or have any
ownership interest in any Person that is engaged in, a
Restricted Business.

     (c)     Notwithstanding provisions in Section 8.4(b) above:

	 	(i)	 	nothing herein shall affect or restrict TVB’s or
its Affiliates’ existing or future terrestrial free-to-air
television broadcast operations licensed by the Hong Kong
Government or the ability of Intelsat or its Affiliates to
provide satellite capacity to any customer in which Intelsat
doses not take or hold an equity interest; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	either Shareholder or any Affiliate thereof may
acquire an ownership interest in a Person engaged in the
Restricted Business during the Intelsat Restricted Period or
TVB Restricted Period, as applicable, if such ownership arises
as a result of the acquisition of a business entity that
conducts such Restricted Business prior to the time of such
acquisition, and such Restricted Business of the acquired
entity did not, for the fiscal year of the acquired business
entity preceding such acquisition represent more than 10% of
the aggregate revenues of such entity during the fiscal year
preceding the date of such acquisition.

     (d)     The parties agree that the provisions of this Section are a material
part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each
Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that (i) any breach of the provisions of
this Section will cause immediate, irreparable and continuing harm to the
Company and the other Shareholder and that such harm is not compensable by
money damages, (ii) in the event of any such breach, the Company and the other
Shareholders shall be entitled to immediate and permanent injunctive or other
equitable

relief from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining such
breach and any further violation of this Section, and (iii) such injunctive
relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy to
which the Company or the Shareholders may be entitled.

     (e)     While the restrictions set forth in this Section are considered by the
parties to be reasonable in all circumstances, it is recognized that
restrictions of the nature specified above may fail for reasons unforeseen,
and, accordingly, it is hereby agreed and declared that if any of such
restrictions shall be adjudged to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in
all circumstances for the protection of the Company or any Shareholder or for
any other reason, but would be valid if part of the wording thereof were
deleted or the periods thereof reduced or the range of activities or area dealt
with thereby reduced in scope, then such restrictions shall apply with such
modifications as may be necessary to make them valid, effective and
enforceable.

by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, any claim to the effect that (A) it is not

pursuant to this Section.

	1.	 	Upon receipt by Intelsat of the Put Exercise Notice, as provided above, TVB
shall, subject to clauses 6 and 7 below, become obligated to purchase all
the Option Shares at the Put Price. The sale and purchase of the Option
Shares pursuant to the Put Option shall be consummated on a date (“Put

for such purpose and such specification or recommendation shall be binding
on the parties hereto upon such Person’s acceptance thereof.
	 
	3.	 	Upon the appointment of an Independent Appraiser, the Shareholders shall
jointly instruct such Independent Appraiser (a) to determine the fair
market value of Company, specified in US Dollars on the basis of what an

willing buyer under no compulsion to purchase would pay for all of all of
the Shares or all of the assets, properties, business and liabilities of

arrangements (the valuation of the Company so determined and expressed in US
Dollar terms is herein called the “Company Valuation”); provided, however, that
if the valuation provided by the Independent Appraiser sets forth a range of
values, then, for purposes of this Agreement, the Company Valuation shall be the
average of the two values set forth at either end of such range; (b) to complete
such Company Valuation within 60 days following such Independent Appraiser’s
acceptance of its appointment hereunder; and (c) to deliver a copy of the
Company Valuation to each Shareholder.

	4.	 	The price that TVB shall be obligated to pay to Intelsat in respect of the
exercise by Intelsat of the Put Option (herein called “Put
Price”) shall be
the product of (i) the Company Valuation, determined as provided above,
times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares
owned by Intelsat and the denominator of which shall be the total number of
Shares.
	 
	5.	 	Subject to clauses 6 and 7 below, TVB shall pay the Put Price in cash on
the Put Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available US Dollar
funds to an account designated by Intelsat.
	 
	6.	 	If, notwithstanding the foregoing, TVB does not desire to purchase the
Option Shares or is otherwise prohibited by law from consummating its
purchase of the Option Shares, then TVB may deliver a notice to Intelsat
within ten (10) days following the Shareholders’ receipt of the Company
Valuation pursuant to clause 4 above, specifying its election not to
purchase the Option Shares; provided, however, that, if TVB does not so
notify Intelsat in writing within such 10-day period, then TVB shall be
obligated to consummate the acquisition of the Option Shares and to pay
Intelsat the Put Price as provided above.
	 
	7.	 	If TVB notifies Intelsat of TVB’s election not to purchase the Option
Shares, then, from the date of Intelsat’s receipt of such notice, Intelsat
may assume the responsibility and authority for selling the Company, by
sale of the Shares, sale and transfer of the Company’s assets and
liabilities or other disposition transaction specified by Intelsat. In
doing so, Intelsat may engage a recognized and reputable independent bank
or investment banking firm to solicit interest in such a transaction, and
the parties shall give such bank or firm access to the Group Companies’
books and records and personnel and shall otherwise fully cooperate with
such bank’s or investment bank’s efforts to prepare all relevant offering
materials to facilitate such solicitation process and such offer and sale
of the Company. If, in the course of such efforts, (a) a potential buyer of
the Shares or an acquiror of the assets and liabilities of the Company or
other acquiror of the Company is identified, (b) the consideration that
such Person is willing to pay in such transaction is not less than the
Company Valuation, and (c) the terms of such transaction do not impose on
Intelsat or TVB any obligation or liability to which Intelsat or TVB is not
then subject (other than post-closing indemnification obligations), then
Intelsat may require TVB and any Group Company to proceed to consummate
such transaction, and the parties shall proceed in good faith to consummate
such transaction as soon as reasonably practicable. The costs and expenses
of such solicitation process and the costs and expenses of any such
transaction, including any bank or investment bank fees and

any legal fees and expenses, shall be borne by the Company. The consideration
received upon the consummation of such transaction, net of such costs and
expenses, shall be allocated between the Shareholders pro rata on the basis of
the percentage that such Shareholder’s Shares bears to the total number of
Shares then outstanding.
