 ARTICLE 21: WARRANTY 
  
 21.1 Warranty of Services. Astrotech shall perform the Work called for by this Agreement in accordance with the requirements specified in: (i) the Agreement
Documents and operational documentation; and (ii) industry practice, provided such practice does not conflict with the Agreement Documents. Astrotech warrants that the Services rendered will be free of defects and will conform to the highest
standards of competent professional knowledge, judgment and workmanship. Acceptance of any Services by Sea Launch/USSL shall not be deemed to alter or affect the obligations of Astrotech or the rights of Sea Launch under the Warranty provisions
herein. 
  
 21.2 Exercise of Warranty Rights. Sea Launch shall provide
Astrotech notice of any defect covered by this warranty. Promptly after receipt of such notice, Astrotech shall redesign, and repair, replace or repeat any portion of the Work affected by a defect covered by the warranty set forth in Article 21.
Astrotech shall 

  

					
	 	  	27	  	 Amendment 3
 12/03/2002

 
perform all necessary tests required to verify that any such redesign, and repair, replacement or repetition, complies with the requirements of the Agreement
Documents. All Astrotech cost and expenses related to such redesign, repair, replacement or repetition and testing, including the removal, replacement and reinstallation of supplies and materials necessary to gain access to the defective Work or
repetition of services by Astrotech shall be borne solely by Astrotech, at no additional cost or charge to Sea Launch. Astrotech warrants such redesigned and repaired, replaced or repeated Work against defective design, materials and workmanship per
Article 21.1. 
  
 21.3 Remedy for Breach of Warranty. If Astrotech fails to
respond to any written notice of defect or fails to proceed with reasonable promptness to accomplish any redesign, repair, replacement, repetition or testing required under this Article 21, it shall be considered a Breach of Warranty by Astrotech.
Under such conditions, Sea Launch may accomplish such redesign, repair, replacement, repetition or testing and charge to Astrotech any cost occasioned Sea Launch thereby, or may reduce any amount otherwise payable under this Agreement (or require
repayment of any amount theretofore paid) in such amount as may be equitable under the circumstances. If Sea Launch determines that it is impracticable to redesign, repair, replace or repeat any defective portion of the Work found within the period
of time of this Agreement, Sea Launch may reduce the amount payable under this Agreement (or require repayment of any amount theretofore paid) in such amount as may be equitable under the circumstances. In any case, the amount payable to Sea launch
shall not exceed the total amount incurred by Sea Launch for the work deemed defective. In the event that any technical opinion, including design changes and/or recommendation including design changes, modifications, repairs, process, procedure
changes and/or equipment recommendations, furnished by Astrotech to Sea Launch/USSL provided under this contract fails to comply with this warranty obligation including fitness for a particular purpose, and Sea Launch/USSL is required to expend
additional funds to correct deficiencies resulting from its acceptance of the Astrotech technical opinion and/or recommendation, Remedy for Breach of Warranty shall apply based on the level of participation of Astrotech. 
  
 21.4 Exclusivity of Warranties and Remedies. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE
21 ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE).
The remedies set forth in this Article 21 are the exclusive remedies of Sea Launch/USSL for any failure by Astrotech to comply with its warranty obligations. Correction of nonconformance or refund of compensation paid in the manner provided herein,
shall constitute complete fulfillment of all the liabilities of Astrotech for defective or nonconforming Services, whether the claims by Sea Launch/USSL are based in contract, in tort (including negligence and strict liability), or otherwise.

 AMENDMENT 2Employment and Non-Interference Agreement dated May 12, 2005 (Michael E. Bain)

 Exhibit 10.35 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AND NON-INTERFERENCE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Employment and Non-Interference Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated as of May 12, 2005, by and between
Michael E. Bain (the “Executive”) and SPACEHAB, Incorporated, a Washington corporation (the “Company”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to retain the future services of Executive for the Company; 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive is willing, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to provide services hereunder; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to secure Executive’s
non-interference, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Nature of Employment 
  
 Subject to Section 3, the Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive
agrees to accept such employment, during the Term of Employment (as defined in Section 3(a)), as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and to undertake such duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably assigned to Executive from time
to time by the Chief Executive Officer, Board of Directors of the Company, or such other appropriately authorized or designated executive officer of the Company. 
  
 2. Extent of Employment 
  
 (a) During the Term of Employment, Executive shall perform his obligations hereunder faithfully and to the best of his ability under the direction of the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Board of Directors of the Company, or such other appropriately authorized or designated executive officer of the Company, and shall abide by the rules, customs and usages from time to time
established by the Company. 
  
 (b) During the Term of Employment,
Executive shall devote all of his business time, energy and skill as may be reasonably necessary for the performance of his duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement (except for vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness
or other incapacity), consistent with past practices and norms with respect to similar positions. 
  
 (c) Nothing contained herein shall require Executive to follow any directive or to perform any act which would violate any laws, ordinances, regulations
or rules of any governmental, regulatory or administrative body, agent or authority, any court or judicial authority, or any public, private or industry regulatory authority. Executive shall act in accordance with the laws, ordinances, regulations
or rules of any governmental, 

 
regulatory or administrative body, agent or authority, any court or judicial authority, or any public, private or industry regulatory authority. 

 
 3. Term of Employment; Termination 
  
 (a) The “Term of Employment” shall commence on May 12, 2005 and
shall continue through June 12, 2007 (the “Initial Term”), subject to automatic annual renewal for two-year terms thereafter (the “Additional Term”), unless either the Company or Executive notifies the other party of its intent
not to renew at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or Additional Term as the case may be. Should Executive’s employment by the Company be earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b), the Term of Employment
shall end on the date of such earlier termination. 
  
 (b) Subject
to the payments contemplated by Section 3(d), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Company: 
  
 (i) upon the death of Executive; 
  
 (ii) in the event that because of physical or mental disability, Executive is unable to perform and does not perform his duties hereunder,
for a continuous period of 90 days, and an experienced, recognized physician specializing in such disabilities certifies as to the foregoing in writing; 
  
 (iii) for Cause or Material Breach (each as defined in Section 3(d)); 
  
 (iv) upon the continuous poor or unacceptable performance of Executive’s duties to the Company, in the
sole judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, which has remained uncured for a period of 90 days after the delivery of notice by the Company to the Executive of such dissatisfaction with Executive’s performance; or 
  
 (v) for any other reason not referred to in clauses (i)
through (iv), or for no reason, such that this Agreement shall be construed as terminable at will by the Company. Executive acknowledges that no representations or promises have been made concerning the grounds for termination or the future
operation of the Company’s business, and that nothing contained herein or otherwise stated by or on behalf of the Company modifies or amends the right of the Company to terminate Executive at any time, with or without Material Breach or Cause.
Termination shall become effective upon the delivery by the Company to Executive of notice specifying such termination and the reasons therefor, subject to the requirements for advance notice and an opportunity to cure provided in this Agreement, if
and to the extent applicable. 
  
 (c) Subject to the payments
contemplated by Section 3(d), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by Executive:

perform and does not perform his duties hereunder, for a continuous period of 90 days, and an experienced, recognized physician specializing in such disabilities certifies as to the foregoing in writing; 
  
 (iii) as a result of the Company’s material reduction
in Executive’s authority, perquisites, position, title or responsibilities (other than such a reduction by the Company because of a temporary illness or disability or such a reduction which affects all of the Company’s senior executives on
a substantially equal or proportionate basis as a result of financial results, conditions, prospects, reorganization, workout or distressed condition of the Company), or the Company’s willful, material violation of its obligations under this
Agreement, in each case, after 30 days’ prior written notice by Executive to the Company and its Board of Directors and the Company’s failure thereafter to cure such reduction or violation within such 30 days; or 
  
 (iv) voluntarily or for any reason not referred to in
clauses (i) through (iii), or for no reason, in each case, after 90 days’ prior written notice to the Company and its Board of Directors. 
  
 (d) For the purposes of this Section 3: 
  
 “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive’s conviction of any crime or criminal offense involving the unlawful
theft or conversion of substantial monies or other property or any other felony (other than a criminal offense arising solely under a statutory provision imposing criminal liability on the Executive on a per se basis due to the offices held by the
Executive); or (ii) Executive’s conviction of fraud or embezzlement. “Material Breach” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive’s breach of any of his fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders or making of a
willful misrepresentation or omission which breach, misrepresentation or omission would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or other) or prospects of the Company; (ii)
Executive’s willful, continual and material neglect or failure to discharge his duties, responsibilities or obligations prescribed by Sections 1 and 2 (other than arising solely due to physical or mental disability); (iii) Executive’s
habitual drunkenness or substance abuse which materially interferes with Executive’s ability to discharge his duties, responsibilities or obligations prescribed by Sections 1 and 2; (iv) Executive’s willful, continual and material breach
of any noncompetition or confidentiality agreement with the Company, including without limitation, those set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement; and (v) Executive’s gross neglect of his duties and responsibilities, as determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors; in each case, for purposes of clauses (i) through (v), after the Company or the Board of Directors has provided 

  

 3

and Material Breach within those 30 days. 
  
 (i)
In the event Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) [death], 3(b)(ii) [disability] or 3(b)(v) [any other reason or no reason] or 3(c)(i) [death], 3(c)(ii) [disability] or 3(c)(iii) [material reduction], the Company

timetable and schedule for such payments contemplated therefor as if such termination did not occur, and will be subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3(g) and Sections 7 and 8. If the Company makes the payments
required by this Section 3(d)(i), such payments will constitute severance and liquidated damages, and the Company will not be obligated to pay any further amounts to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise be liable to Executive in connection
with any termination. 
  
 (ii) In the event
Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii) [Cause or Material Breach], 3(b)(iv) [poor performance], or 3(c)(iv) [voluntary], the Company will not be obligated to pay any further amounts to Executive under this Agreement.

  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated within twelve months following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 3(b)(v) [by the Company for any other reason or no reason] or Section 3(c)(iii) [by the

bonuses paid to the Executive and (B) pay to Executive (or his estate or representative) the benefits described in Section 6 through the twelfth month anniversary of termination. 
  
 If the Company makes the payments required by this Section 3(d)(iii), such payments will constitute
severance and liquidated damages, and the Company will not be obligated to pay any further amounts to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise be liable to Executive in connection with any termination,

obligation to provide insurance coverage, if any, will be mitigated and reduced by and to the extent of Executive’s compensation under such alternative employment during the period for which payments are owed by the Company pursuant to Section
3(d)(i). Moreover, in the event that Executive is employed by or engaged in a Competitive Business as contemplated by Section 8(a)(i), then the Company will thereupon no longer be obligated to make payments under Section 3(d)(i). 
  
 (f) In the event the Term of Employment is terminated and the Company is
obligated to make payments pursuant to Section 3(d)(i), Executive hereby waives any and all claims against the Company and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives, stockholders and affiliates relating to his
employment during the term hereof and this Agreement.

 5 

 6. Benefits 
  
 During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to benefits (including health, disability, pension and life
insurance benefits consistent with Company policy, or as increased from time to time), in each case, in accordance with guidelines or established from time to time, by the Board of Directors for senior executives of the Company. 
  
 7. Confidential Information 
  
 (a) Executive acknowledges that his employment hereunder gives him access to
Confidential Information relating to the Company’s Business and its customers which must remain confidential. Executive acknowledges that this information is valuable, special, and a unique asset of the Company’s Business, and that it has
been and will be developed by the Company at considerable effort and expense, and if it were to be known and used by others engaged in a Competitive Business, it would be harmful and detrimental to the interests of the Company. In consideration of
the foregoing, Executive hereby agrees and covenants that, during and after the Term of Employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly in one or a series of transactions, disclose to any person, or use or otherwise exploit for
Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than the Companies, Confidential Information (as defined in Section 10), whether prepared by Executive or not; provided, however, that any Confidential Information may be disclosed to
officers, representatives, employees and agents of the Companies who need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform the services or conduct the operations required or expected of them in the Business (as defined in Section 10).
Executive shall use his best efforts to prevent the removal of any Confidential Information from the premises of the Companies, except as required in his normal course of employment by the Company. Executive shall use his best efforts to cause all
persons or entities to whom any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by him hereunder to observe the terms and conditions set forth herein as though each such person or entity was bound hereby. Executive shall have no obligation hereunder to
keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure of any thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Executive shall provide the Company with prompt
notice of such requirement, prior to making any disclosure, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. At the request of the Company, Executive agrees to deliver to the Company, at any time during the Term of Employment, or
thereafter, all Confidential Information which he may possess or control. Executive agrees that all Confidential Information of the Companies (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or made by him during the Term of Employment
exclusively belongs to the Companies (and not to Executive). Executive will promptly disclose such Confidential Information to the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company to establish and confirm such exclusive ownership.

  

 6 

 (b) In the event that Executive breaches his obligations in any material respect under this Section 7,
the Company, in addition to pursuing all available remedies under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, and without limiting its right to pursue the same shall cease all payments to Executive under this Agreement. 
  
 (c) The terms of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement regardless of who terminates this Agreement or the reasons therefor. 
  
 8. Non-interference 
  
 (a)
Executive acknowledges that the services to be provided give him the opportunity to have special knowledge of the Company and its Confidential Information and the capabilities of individuals employed by or affiliated with the Company, and that
interference in these relationships would cause irreparable injury to the Company. In consideration of this Agreement, Executive covenants and agrees that: 
  
 (i) During the Restricted Period (which shall not include any period of violation of this Agreement by the Executive), Executive will not,
without the express written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, anywhere in the Market, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, own, manage, operate, control, invest or acquire an interest in, or otherwise engage
or participate in, whether as a proprietor, partner, stockholder, lender, director, officer, employee, joint venturer, investor, lessor, supplier, customer, agent, representative or other participant, in any Competitive Business without regard to
(A) whether the Competitive Business has its office, manufacturing or other business facilities within or without the Market, (B) whether any of the activities of Executive referred to above occur or are performed within or without the Market or (C)
whether Executive resides, or reports to an office, within or without the Market; provided, however, that (x) Executive may, anywhere in the Market, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, own, invest or acquire an interest in up
to five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a corporation whose capital stock is traded publicly, or that (y) Executive may accept employment with a successor company to the Company. 
  
 (ii) During the Restricted Period (which shall not include any period of violation of this Agreement by
Executive), Executive will not without the express prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (A) directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or influence any proprietor,
partner, stockholder, lender, director, officer, employee, sales agent, joint venturer, investor, lessor, supplier, customer, agent, representative or any other person which has a business relationship with the Company or had a business relationship
with the Company within the twenty-four (24) month period preceding the date of the incident in question, to discontinue, reduce or modify such employment, agency or business 

  

 7 

 
relationship with the Company, or (B) employ or seek to employ or cause any Competitive Business to employ or seek to employ any person or agent who is then
(or was at any time within six months prior to the date Executive or the Competitive Business employs or seeks to employ such person) employed or retained by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Executive from
providing a letter of recommendation to an employee with respect to a future employment opportunity. 
  
 (iii) The scope and term of this Section 8 would not preclude him from earning a living with an entity that is not a Competitive Business.

  
 (b) The terms of this Section 8 shall survive termination of
this Agreement regardless of who terminates this Agreement or the reasons therefor. 
  
 9. Inventions 
  
 (a) Each
invention, improvement or discovery made or conceived by Executive, either individually or with others, during the term of his employment with the Company, which invention, improvement or discovery is related to any of the lines of business or work
of the Companies, any projected or potential activities which the Companies have investigated or hereinafter investigates, or which result from or are suggested by any service performed by Executive for the Company, whether patentable or not, shall
be promptly and fully disclosed by Executive to the Company. Executive assigns each such invention, improvement or discovery, and the patents thereof, or related thereto, to the Company. Executive shall, during the term of his employment with the
Company and thereafter without charge to the Company, but at the request and expense of the Company, assist the Company in obtaining or vesting in itself patents upon such improvements and inventions. All such inventions, improvements or discoveries
shall at all times become and remain the exclusive property of the Company. Executive represents that he does not claim ownership of any inventions, improvements, formulae or discoveries which are excluded from this Agreement. 
  
 (b) In the event that Executive breaches his obligations in any material
respect under Sections 7, 8 or this Section 9, the Company, in addition to pursuing all available remedies under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, and without limiting its right to pursue the same shall cease all payments to Executive under this
Agreement.

 Any such notices shall be deemed to be given on the date personally delivered or such return receipt is
issued. 
  
 12. Executive’s Representation 

 
 Executive hereby warrants and represents to the Company that Executive has
carefully reviewed this Agreement and has consulted with such advisors as Executive considers appropriate in connection with this Agreement, is not subject to any covenants, agreements or restrictions, including without limitation any covenants,
agreements or restrictions arising out of Executive’s prior employment, which would be breached or violated by Executive’s execution of this Agreement or by Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder. 
  
 13. Other Matters 
  
 Executive agrees and acknowledges that the obligations owed to Executive
under this Agreement are solely the obligations of the Company, and that none of the Companies’ stockholders, directors, officers, affiliates, representatives, agents or lenders will have any obligations or liabilities in respect of this
Agreement and the subject matter hereof. 
  
 14. Validity

  
 If, for any reason, any provision hereof shall be determined
to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and effect of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby. 
  
 15. Severability 
  
 Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other
jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If any court determines that any provision of Section 8 or any
other provision hereof is unenforceable because of the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision, as the case may be and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable. 
  
 16. Waiver of Breach; Specific Performance 
  
 The waiver by the Company or Executive of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of such other party. Each of the parties (and third party beneficiaries) to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce its rights under this breach of any
provision of this 

  

 11 

 
Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy
for any breach of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement and that any party (and third party beneficiaries) may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event either party takes legal action to enforce
any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement against the other party, the party against whom judgment is rendered in such action shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees,
incurred in such action. 
  
 17. Assignment; Third Parties

  
 Neither Executive nor the Company may assign, transfer,
pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of his or its respective rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other. The parties agree and acknowledge that each of the Companies and
the stockholders and investors therein are intended to be third party beneficiaries of, and have rights and interests in respect of, Executive’s agreements set forth in Sections 7, 8 and 9. 
  
 18. Amendment; Entire Agreement 
  
 This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing
agreed to by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter of this
Agreement, and supersedes and replaces all prior Agreements, understandings and commitments with respect to such subject matter. 
  
 19. Litigation 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, EXCEPT THAT NO DOCTRINE OF CHOICE
OF LAW SHALL BE USED TO APPLY ANY LAW OTHER THAN THAT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND NO DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR RIGHT OF SET-OFF GIVEN OR ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION, OR ARISING OUT OF THE ENACTMENT, MODIFICATION OR REPEAL OF

AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT RELATING TO OR IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ITS NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE, SUBJECT MATTER, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT OR DEALING OR ACTIONS UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF THIS
