The foregoing services and Contractor’s responsibilities are described herein, including in Exhibit B and Exhibit C attached hereto. Contractor will provide such services in Markets identified by Company from time to time pursuant to purchase orders (each a “Purchase Order” or “PO”). Contractor shall provide the goods and services under each PO, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In order for a PO to be effective it must be accepted by Contractor. POs issued to Contractor shall be deemed accepted by Contractor unless Contractor otherwise notifies a Company Authorized Representative in writing within three (3) Business Days after Contractor’s receipt thereof. Company may deliver POs electronically.

Section 2.2. Limited Exclusive Rights.

(i) Except as may be specifically provided otherwise herein, but without limiting the effect of Section 10.2, Section 10.3 or Section 10.4 of this Agreement (to the extent applicable), Company’s engagement of Contractor is “at will”. Company shall provide Contractor the opportunity to perform Site Deployment Services set forth in Exhibit C at no less than six hundred and fifty (650) Sites in one or more Metropolitan Markets selected by Company in its sole discretion. Company does not guarantee Contractor any additional minimum level of Work or level of compensation hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, including those pertaining to the instruments and procedures for the issuance of Work, Company hereby engages Contractor to perform the Site Deployment Services set forth in Exhibit C for such number of Sites as Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, in one or more of the market areas set forth in Exhibit A (the “Markets”) as selected by Company. Provided that an Event of Default or an Event of Release from Exclusivity (as defined in Exhibit E) or a Change of Control has not occurred, Company agrees that it will not, during the initial three-year term, engage any third party to perform such Site Deployment Services in the Markets or any Metropolitan

Market prior to fulfilling Company’s obligation to provide Contractor the opportunity to perform Site Deployment Services at no less than six hundred fifty (650) sites in one or more Metropolitan Markets selected by Company (collectively, the commitment in this sentence together with the commitment in the second sentence of this Section 2.2 are referred to as the “Exclusivity Obligations”). If any of the events listed in the preceding sentence has occurred, Company will be fully released from its Exclusivity Obligations. Company shall be obligated to pay Contractor, in accordance with the applicable pricing and invoicing procedures set forth in this Agreement, for Work actually authorized by Company and performed by Contractor or its approved subcontractors under this Agreement. Company may, from time to time, offer to award Contractor with the right to perform Work for a specified number of Sites in one or more Metropolitan Markets outside of the Markets set forth in Exhibit A in order to fulfill the Exclusivity Obligations set forth herein; provided that pricing and the number of Sites are agreed in advance. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the pricing that will apply for such additional Work. If the Parties cannot agree on such pricing through good faith negotiations within fifteen (15) days after commencement thereof, Contractor shall have the option to either (i) decline the additional Work, in which case Company’s Exclusivity Obligations shall be reduced by the number of Sites that were included in Company’s offer; (ii) offer to perform the Work at the pricing applicable to the Baltimore/Washington Market; or (iii) escalate the matter to the Management Committee for further discussion in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 26.1 – 26.3, provided that, in this case, all such discussions must be completed within fifteen (15) additional days. If Contractor elects option (ii), TerreStar may elect in its sole discretion to decline to proceed with the Work. In any case, if the parties have been unable to reach agreement on the pricing that would apply for the Work within thirty (30) days from the date such pricing discussions initially commenced, Company shall thereafter be free to award the Work to a third party, provided that Customer’s Exclusivity Obligations shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the preceding, if at the end of the initial three-year term of this Agreement, Company has failed to meet its Exclusivity Obligations as a result of the parties’ failure to reach agreement on pricing for Work in Metropolitan Markets that was first offered to Contractor and that would have otherwise applied to satisfy Company’s Exclusivity Obligation, Company’s Exclusivity Obligations shall be reduced by the number of Sites that were included in such offers, so long as Company has fully satisfied its obligation to first offer Contractor with the opportunity to perform Site Deployment Services for Sites within Metropolitan Areas throughout such three-year period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company shall have no liability to Contractor or any third party for any failure of Company to fulfill its Exclusivity Obligations to the extent resulting from (a) Company’s election to build out less than six hundred and fifty (650) Sites in Metropolitan Markets during the initial three-year term of this Agreement, or (b) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4 prior to Company having fulfilled its Exclusivity Obligations. If Contractor is issued a PO for any Site which is then land banked or otherwise suspended by Company for any reason other than Contractor’s breach, and which Company within twelve (12) months after land banking or suspending the Site determines to proceed with, provided that an Event of Release from Exclusivity has not occurred prior to or after Company’s determination, Company will not engage any third party other than Contractor to perform that Work.

(ii) Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with Network Vendors and Company to ensure that all parties adhere to the Deployment Schedule and Throughput Model for each Market (and this responsibility shall for all purposes hereof be considered part of the Work). If any Network Vendor is ready and able to make a delivery of equipment (“Network Equipment”) or other services required by the Deployment Schedule for a Market and, as a result of Contractor’s failure to complete applicable Work on time, completion of the applicable Site cannot safely and properly accommodate the Network Equipment or connection of services, Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of any penalties or damages owed by Company to the applicable Network Vendor as set forth in Exhibit I.

(iii) Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with the Network Vendors and their representatives in a manner that will ensure the orderly deployment of Network Equipment to each Site being developed under this Agreement and connection of such Site to the services of Network Vendors. Contractor, Company and the applicable Network Vendors shall establish, within thirty (30) days after the issuance of an applicable PO, an agreed Deployment Schedule for that Market. Contractor shall cooperate with all Network Vendors and other Company suppliers, service providers and contractors as appropriate to enable the timely and efficient completion of the Site Services for each Site and the build-out of Company’s terrestrial wireless network. If Company requests Contractor to provide material additional cooperation beyond what is specified in this Agreement, such cooperation shall be provided at Company’s expense. The Scope of Work in Exhibit B establishing the Program Management Office shall designate a director (the “Program Director”), who shall have primary responsibility for working out any disputes, disagreements, discrepancies, performance conflicts or other issues that arise between Contractor and any Network Vendor (“Network Deployment

Issues”). Resolution of all Network Deployment Issues shall be resolved by the Program Director in a prompt and efficient manner, in order to maintain the Deployment Schedule. Company shall require that the Network Vendors interface with the Program Director.

(iv) If the Program Director becomes aware of a Network Deployment Issue that the Program Director is unable to resolve in a manner that will avoid delays in the Deployment Schedule, the Program Director shall, in as timely a manner as possible to avoid such delays in the Deployment Schedule, provide to the Company designated representative (the “Company Designated Representative”) a detailed description of the conflict and the positions of both Contractor and the Network Vendor concerning such Network Deployment Issue. The Company Officer shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the foregoing description make a decision concerning how the Network Deployment Issue is to be resolved, which the Company Officer shall describe in a written or e-mailed notice to Contractor and the Network Vendor. Such decision may require Contractor or applicable Network Vendor to perform any work or provide any item needed for Company to resolve the Network Deployment Issue. Subject to Section 23, Company shall have the right to require Contractor to perform such work or provide such item while the Parties further consider the matter of which entity was actually responsible to do so; provided, further, in the event the work or the item would by its nature involve Materials or Pass-Through Costs, Company shall make payment to Contractor relating to the work or item (but excluding any associated management services or Contractor fee) pending resolution of the issue. If the performance of such work or provision of item is a change to the work described under Exhibit C for which Contractor receives a Base Cell Site Unit Price-based payment, Company will pay Contractor for the performance of such work or provision of item on a time and materials basis, using the applicable hourly rates set forth in Exhibit F, Attachment 3 or such other mutually agreed basis.

Section 2.8. Company Responsibilities.

Company shall be responsible, either directly or through its Network Vendors or other third party contractors, for those activities or actions that are described in Exhibit C as being the responsibility of Company, its Network Vendors or other third party contractors.

The Program Management Office shall be responsible for ensuring that Work is performed in accordance with the Throughput Model (as defined in Section 3.2 below) and the Deployment Schedule and that all applicable Milestones and Applicable Requirements are met. The responsibilities of the Program Management Office, the Work that the Program Management Office is required to perform, requirements concerning the qualifications of personnel, the number of authorized Program Management Office personnel for which Contractor may charge Company from time to time, requirements concerning Key Positions or Key Personnel and the manner in which Contractor shall maintain the Program Management Office and provide the services thereof are described in the Scope of Work attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Section 3.2. Site Deployment Services; Network Deployment.

(i) In furtherance of its performance of the Site Deployment (also referred to herein as “Radio Access Network (RAN) Management”) and RAN network and deployment Work described more fully in Exhibit C, Contractor shall assemble and maintain in each Market a team (each, a “Market Deployment Team”) to coordinate and manage (in coordination with, and without duplication of services provided by, the Program Management Office) all Work awarded to Contractor in a designated Market. Each Market shall have its own dedicated Market Deployment Team, which shall operate under the supervision and control of the Program Management Office to ensure the proper, timely and orderly completion of Work in the applicable Market. Subject to the terms set forth in Exhibit C, the Market Deployment Team shall be responsible for assisting Company in the identification, acquisition and/or construction of appropriate towers, rooftops, ground leases, or other appropriate locations or facilities (each, a “Site”) for installation of all facilities, installations, hardware and platforms (“Installations”) necessary for Company or the applicable Network Vendors to install the Network Equipment, including the supervision, coordination and management of all construction and installation activities included in the Work, the completion of all punch-list work and all other activities necessary to cause each Site to become operational in accordance with the Deployment Schedule. Each Site shall be subject to Company’s approval in Company’s sole discretion, and shall be identified, selected and approved in accordance with the procedures described in Exhibit C. The terms on which Contractor shall identify and acquire Sites and coordinate the installation of the Installations (including, if mutually agreed by the Parties, the construction of new facilities) are set forth in Exhibit C. The linear progression of approval points, conditions precedent to proceeding to each step in the process of Site Deployment, and the necessary Deliverables for the completion of the Work to the satisfaction of the Company are as described in the various Exhibits attached to this Agreement. Contractor shall not proceed beyond necessary approval points nor take actions which might incur cost or liability to Company with regard to any Site without first obtaining such approval as outlined in the applicable Exhibit(s), including but not limited to a Notice to Proceed with Site Acquisition (the form of which is set forth in Exhibit C, Attachment 4) and a Notice to Proceed with Construction (the form of which is set forth in Exhibit C, Attachment 10).

(ii) Contractor shall perform the Site Deployment Services and deploy the RAN Network in accordance with version number 1 of the throughput model (as such model may be revised by mutual agreement of the Parties from time to time, the “Throughput Model”). The Throughput Model shows the schedule for Contractor’s completion of the Milestones set forth in Exhibit C, (and completion of tasks required for such Milestones) as required for RAN network deployment for each Market and for all Markets, by month and cumulatively. Any change to the Throughput Model shall be subject to Company’s prior written approval. If Company approves any change, the revised Throughput Model will not take effect until the month immediately following Company’s written approval; provided, however, the guaranteed volumes (i) in the prior version of the Throughput Model for the month(s) preceding the month in which Contractor has requested a change shall remain unaffected and (ii) the month in which Contractor has requested the change, and the succeeding month(s) if Company is still reviewing the change, shall be adjusted, to the extent required by the change, for the purpose of not penalizing the Contractor in calculating Contractor’s Service Level Agreement performance during such Measurement Period.

Section 3.3. Staffing; Key Positions. Contractor agrees to provide the Program Director and other personnel as may be described as “Key Personnel” (“Key Personnel”) in Exhibit B and Exhibit C or otherwise relating to the Program Management Office or the particular Market Deployment Teams in the numbers and at the times as further described herein. All Key Personnel shall be full-time professionals that have been pre-approved in writing by Company. Contractor shall employ such other qualified professionals or other personnel as are necessary to properly perform Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement. All Key Personnel must be direct employees of Contractor. Prior to hiring or assigning any Key Personnel to the Work, Contractor shall furnish Company with a resume of the proposed candidate for Company’s review and, if requested by Company, the opportunity to interview such candidate. Company shall have thirty (30) days after completion of such activities to notify Contractor of any objections that Company has to such candidate’s assignment. If Company objects to such assignment, Contractor and Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve Company’s concerns. If the Parties are unable to resolve such concerns within five (5) days of Company’s objection, Contractor shall propose another individual for Company’s approval in accordance with the foregoing procedure. No Key Personnel may be assigned to the Work without Company’s express prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless Company waives this requirement in its sole discretion, all Key Personnel shall be identified before Contractor is authorized to commence Work pursuant to a PO. Contractor agrees that it will not, without Company’s prior written consent (which Company shall be under no obligation to grant), voluntarily remove any Key Personnel during the performance of the Work for which he or she is responsible. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain personnel in non-key positions, to assure consistent staffing. If Company objects to the continued assignment of any Contractor personnel (including, but not limited to Key Personnel) to this Agreement, Contractor shall promptly remove such personnel and provide a replacement in a timely manner. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable

efforts to minimize turnover of personnel assigned to the completion of Work. Contractor shall provide to Company written notice fifteen (15) days prior to reassigning or replacing Key Personnel. Contractor shall ensure that no Contractor PMO Key Personnel involved in the Work are engaged in the provision of services by Contractor to any Adverse Party during the performance of the Services by such personnel. Except for a replacement at the request of Company or a reassignment necessitated by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, for example, death, disability or the employee’s family circumstances, Contractor shall not reassign or replace any Key Personnel without Company’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Company’s sole discretion unless Contractor demonstrates to Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such reassignment or replacement will not have an adverse effect on the Work. The Parties shall agree from time to time on the appropriate number of Key Personnel and other personnel of particular classifications necessary during specified periods for Contractor to deliver all services required by the Program Management Office. Company and Contractor shall also review Program Management Office staffing requirements on a regular basis, but at least quarterly, and sufficiently in advance of any significant anticipated changes so as to permit Contractor to plan and respond to PMO staffing needs (e.g., typically one (1) month in advance of each calendar quarter) and as further set forth in Section 1.1.3 of Exhibit F. Company will issue a PO or PO revision reflecting any agreed PMO staffing changes in a timely manner such that approved staffing levels are adequately funded. Contractor shall update the list of Key Personnel as of the beginning of each calendar quarter.

Section 3.4. Project Quality Plan. Attached hereto as Exhibit J is Contractor’s quality assurance plan outlining its proposed quality assurance procedures and protocols for acceptance by Company (the “Project Quality Plan”). Contractor shall make such amendments to such Quality Assurance Plan as Company may request from time to time to ensure the proper and timely completion of the Work in accordance with the Deployment Schedule and all Applicable Requirements. Company shall review any proposed amendments to the Quality Assurance Plan and provide comments to the Contractor within three (3) days of receipt of the plan from Contractor. Once the comments are resolved, and if the comments are to be incorporated into the Project Quality Plan, the approval process shall be repeated until the amended Project Quality Plan is agreed between the Parties. Contractor shall satisfy all of the requirements, procedures and protocols of the Project Quality Plan at all times during the performance of any Work, and shall otherwise maintain quality assurance controls that ensure all material, equipment, services and Deliverables conform to all Applicable Requirements, whether any such Work or any Deliverable is performed, manufactured, prepared, procured or delivered by Contractor or by any other Contractor Party, and Contractor shall otherwise ensure that all Work is delivered on time and on budget. Without in any way limiting Company’s inspection or other rights, Contractor is responsible for performing all inspections, tests, and calibrations necessary to substantiate that the Work, materials and equipment conform to all Applicable Requirements. Records of conformance shall be maintained on file at Contractor’s facilities and in the Contract Management System and shall be available for review by Company at any reasonable time.

(i) With regard to Work set forth under the Scope of Work attached hereto as Exhibit C, Contractor shall be free to enter into any subcontract awarded in accordance with Contractor’s established practices and procedures and in accordance with all requirements set forth in Exhibit C; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to entering into any subcontract, Contractor shall provide to Company written notice of its initial list of desired subcontractors, including the subcontractor’s name and nature of work being subcontracted. Thereafter, Contractor shall provide Company on a periodic basis as mutually agreed, but at least on a quarterly basis, with a list of its desired additional subcontractors. Contractor agrees to provide to Company such other information as Company may reasonably request. If Company objects to any proposed subcontractor, Company shall notify Contractor within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Contractor’s list and the Parties shall thereafter meet within five (5) days to resolve the objection. If after meeting, the Company acting reasonably still objects to the subcontractor, Contractor will furnish an alternate subcontractor for Company’s approval. If the Company does not object to Contractor’s proposed list within ten (10) Business Days, the list shall be deemed as accepted by Company. Contractor shall not subcontract any PMO services set forth in Exhibit B without the prior written approval of Company. For other subcontractors, Contractor shall obtain Company’s approval in accordance with Section 4.2.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(i) above, Contractor may subcontract portions of the Work to its’ Affiliates without the prior written approval of Company. Without limitation, Contractor shall have the right to subcontract to its related professional engineering companies that are Affiliates of Contractor any professional engineering services required by each applicable state to be performed by a professional engineering firm registered in such state as required by its law. Contractor hereby guarantees to Company that such entities will comply with the responsibilities and obligations herein assumed by Contractor and Company agrees that it shall hold only Contractor responsible for any failure to so comply. Contractor agrees that Company will incur no duplication of costs or increased taxes resulting from any such subcontract and shall indemnify and hold Company harmless from any such costs or taxes. Company agrees that the limitations on Contractor’s liability set forth in this Agreement apply to Contractor and its Affiliates.

all bids received by Contractor for the performance of the project. All bids shall be accompanied by (i) all information necessary for Company to ascertain the nature and scope of the services to be provided thereunder and the cost thereof and to make a meaningful comparison of the scope of work and pricing in the various subcontracts and shall further be accompanied by (ii) Contractor’s recommendation as to which of the bids it recommends that the Company select. If Contractor does not select the lowest bid as its recommended bid, the Contractor’s recommendation shall include a detailed description of the reasons therefor. If Company rejects all bids and requests further services, Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Company’s notice, obtain at least two (2) additional bids for Company’s consideration.

Section 4.3. Contractor Parties.

Contractor’s responsibility shall extend to all Contractor Parties, whether or not engaged, appointed or selected in accordance with this Agreement, but this sentence shall not render valid any arrangement with a Contractor Party that is not entered into in compliance with this Agreement. Contractor will not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of any Contractor Party to perform Work and will be responsible for any Contractor Party’s failure to satisfy the terms of this Agreement, as they relate to the Work performed by the Contractor Party, to the same degree as if Contractor performed the Work directly. If Company determines that the performance or conduct of Contractor or any Contractor Party is unsatisfactory, Company may notify Contractor of its determination in writing, indicating the reasons therefor, and Contractor will promptly take all actions necessary to remedy the performance or conduct of Contractor or such Contractor Party. At Company’s request, Contractor shall, at no cost to Company, terminate any arrangement with any Contractor Party that was not entered into in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.4. Step-In Rights. Each subcontract entered into in furtherance of Site Deployment Services described in Exhibit C shall contain a provision by which the subcontractor or other counterparty thereto agrees that, upon delivery of notice from Company that an Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement or that this Agreement has been terminated due to an Event of Default with respect to the Work to which the subcontract relates, that the subcontract may be assigned to Company and thereafter Company may assert the rights and obligations of Contractor under such subcontract, to the extent arising after the date of such assignment. Contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to provide that each subcontractor shall further provide that, if Contractor is in default of its payment obligations under any subcontract, the subcontractor shall not stop work or terminate the subcontract without first giving Company notice of Contractor’s default and ten (10) days opportunity to cure the default and assume Contractor’s obligations under the subcontract.

Contractor shall bear all expenses and costs associated with the creation of systems, software, interfaces, modification of its information technology systems, and training of Contractor’s personnel in the use of the electronic information technology processes and procedures required to satisfy the information and data collection and uploading requirements set forth in and required by the Site Management System and, to the extent they do not differ from Contractor’s standard systems and applications, Company’s other reasonable requirements.

Section 7.4. Data and Reports. In addition to any other reports that may be required in this Agreement, Contractor agrees to provide any reports that may be reasonably required by Company, at no cost to Company. By submitting any report or other Deliverable, Contractor shall be deemed to have certified to Company that such report or other Deliverable is accurate, current and complete in all material respects.

At Company’s request and sole discretion, and as directed by Company, Contractor shall promptly correct any errors or inaccuracies in any reports delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Reports shall be delivered in such media and format as Company shall direct and shall include pricing, cost and other data concerning all work that will permit Company to ascertain with “full visibility” the actual cost related to Materials, and Pass-Through Costs covered by any Contractor Invoice. Upon request by Company at any time, Contractor shall, at Contractor’s expense, promptly turn over to Company or erase and destroy to Company’s satisfaction all reports in the possession or control of Contractor and any other Contractor Parties, except that Contractor may retain, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 18 hereof, copies of any reports containing information necessary for dispute resolution, including litigation, arising out of the Agreement, and Contractor may retain reports containing information required for its internal financial reporting requirements or for archival purposes; provided that, all such reports will be returned or destroyed upon the resolution of any dispute, upon the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or, in accordance with Contractor’s records retention policies. Contractor’s archived data shall not be used for any purpose other than as a backup of data elsewhere in the Contractor’s system.

SECTION 8. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME; LIMITATIONS

Section 8.1. Contractor Delays. Exhibit E sets forth the certain consequences for Contractor’s failure to perform the Work and complete certain Milestones in accordance with the Throughput Model. Exhibit I sets forth the certain consequences for Contractor’s failure to perform the Work to support Company Network Vendors. Liquidated damages and other amounts payable as set forth in Exhibit E and Exhibit I and Company’s remedies described in Section 10.3 are the sole and exclusive remedies of Company for Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Throughput Model or to support the Network Vendors.

Section 8.2. Excusable Delays. For purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean any event or circumstance, or combination of events or circumstances, that arises after the date hereof, is beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming Force Majeure, or could not be prevented or overcome by the reasonable efforts and due diligence of the Party claiming Force Majeure and has an impact which will actually, demonstrably, and adversely affect such Party’s ability to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, acts of God or of the public enemy, terrorist attacks or threats thereof, epidemics, unavoidable casualties, or unavoidable and unusual delay in obtaining equipment or materials (which delays are outside Contractor’s reasonable ability to control), disruptions to transportation systems, strikes (except for those associated with employees of any Contractor Party). An “Excusable Delay” is any delay in the completion of Work that is due to (i) Force Majeure or (ii) Company’s material failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If an Excusable Delay occurs, the schedule for completion of any element of the Work that is affected thereby shall be extended to such date as shall reasonably account for the impact of the Excusable Delay. If Contractor

wishes to rely upon an Excusable Delay as a basis for seeking any extension of time under an agreed Work schedule, it shall notify Company in writing within five (5) calendar days after the beginning of any Excusable Delay, stating with specificity the cause of the delay, the specific elements of the Work that are impacted, the specific areas involved, and the anticipated period of delay. If Contractor fails to give Company such written notice within such five (5) day period, the period of Excusable Delay shall not commence until such notice is received by Company. Upon receipt of such notice, Company shall determine whether an extension is justified and, if so, the Parties shall discuss an equitable extension, generally day for day, of the applicable date(s) of completion, taking into account not only the expected duration of the Excusable Delay, but also its reasonable impact on Contractor’s ability to complete the Work for which Contractor is responsible; provided, however, that Company shall, subject to Section 26, make the determination of the extension reasonably required to reflect the impact of any Excusable Delay on Contractor and the Work. Company shall have the option to deny any request for extension or for additional costs absent a showing that the event of Excusable Delay will cause an actual delay in the Work schedule or result in additional costs. Contractor shall not have any right in connection with Force Majeure to a modification of the pricing or reimbursement provisions applicable to the Work or to any provisions relating to additional payments or fees except to the extent Contractor demonstrates that the event is of a magnitude that affects a majority of Sites in one or more Markets. The Parties agree that except as otherwise excused under this Agreement (i) the unwillingness or inability of Contractor or any Contractor Parties to perform any obligation under this Agreement, (ii) any labor actions affecting a Contractor Party and based on a Contractor Party’s own employment program (as compared to an industry-wide labor action), (iii) unavailability of Materials that could have been avoided by proper project management procedures, (iv) bankruptcy or insolvency actions affecting a Contractor Party, (v) litigation or administrative actions affecting a Contractor Party (except if initiated by the Company) or (vi) the unwillingness or financial inability of Contractor or any of its subcontractors, vendors, or suppliers to perform any obligation hereunder or under any applicable subcontract or supply contract, shall not be grounds for an Excusable Delay. Further, the occurrence of an Excusable Delay due to Force Majeure shall not excuse Contractor’s obligation to pay to Company any amounts due to Company prior to or during the Excusable Delay.

SECTION 9. INSPECTION, CORRECTIONS AND ACCEPTANCE OF WORK

Section 9.1. Inspection. Company, or a third party consultant or other representative of Company, may inspect any Deliverable, Site or other Work performed by Contractor prior to Company’s acceptance thereof in accordance with Exhibit C with respect to such Work. In furtherance of the foregoing, Contractor shall afford Company, or a third party consultant or other representative of Company, access to any Site to the full extent and at such times as Contractor has access to the Site. Contractor shall be required, without regard to the state of completion to promptly correct any Deliverable, Site or Work that is found to be defective, incorrect or non-conforming

in that it does not meet the warranty standards set forth in Section 19.2 or is not in compliance with the Applicable Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, any Work required to be corrected by Contractor under this Section that has not been completed prior to acceptance in accordance with Exhibit C shall not excuse Contractor from the obligation to correct such Work under Section 19.4.

Section 9.2. Company Correction Cost. If Contractor does not repair any Deliverable, Site or Work that is found to be defective, incorrect or non-conforming within five (5) Business Days after notice from Company or, to the extent such Work is not reasonably capable of being repaired within such five (5) Business Day period, if Contractor fails to complete such repairs within thirty (30) days after such notice from the Company, Company may effect such repairs and may deduct from payments otherwise due or to become due to Contractor or otherwise recover directly from Contractor, the full cost to repair the same, including, but not limited to, storage and removal costs, repair and installation costs, and material costs resulting from Contractor’s failure to make such repairs within the timeframes described above.

Section 9.3. Acceptance. The inspection of the Deliverables, Sites and other Work and the acceptance by Company thereof shall follow the procedures and requirements set forth in Exhibit C, in addition to those set forth in this Section 9.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION

Section 10.1. Termination by Contractor. Contractor may terminate this Agreement in full (but not in part), upon the occurrence of a Company Event of Default. A “Company Event of Default” shall have occurred if:

(i) (a) Company has failed to make a payment due under this Agreement in connection with the Work, (b) such payment is not subject to a good faith dispute, (c) no earlier than the payment’s due date Contractor gives written notice of its intent to terminate unless such payment is made within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, and (d) Company fails to make such payment within the sixty (60) day period following receipt of such notice from Contractor;

be filed by Company or shall be filed against Company and consented to, or acquiesced in by Company or any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Company shall be instituted (provided, however, that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Company, it shall not be an Event of Default if the same is discharged, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing or commencement thereof), or Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

In the event this Agreement or any part hereof is terminated by Contractor pursuant to this Section, Contractor shall be entitled to the amounts as described in Sections 10.4 and 10.5(ii). Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of termination.

(i) Contractor materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach to Company’s reasonable satisfaction within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of breach from Company (which termination shall be effective on the sixty-first (61st) day after the breach notice is received by Contractor, unless the breach is cured before such date);

(ii) any Transfer occurs without Company’s prior written consent;

(iii) Contractor fails, except in cases for which an extension of time is expressly provided for hereunder, to prosecute promptly and diligently the Work or to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials for the Work; or if it fails to exercise the level of managerial skill, knowledge, judgment and practices which are commonly expected in connection with the management and performance of work of the type contemplated by this Agreement and does not cure such breach to Company’s reasonable satisfaction within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of breach from Company (which termination shall be effective on the sixty-first (61st) day after the breach notice is received by Contractor, unless the breach is cured before such date);

(iv) if a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien or notice of lien is filed against any part of the Work or any Site and such lien is not removed or replaced by an appropriate bond (if permitted by Law) or insured over by Contractor for the Company’s benefit and to Company’s reasonable satisfaction as soon as reasonably possible but within thirty (30) days after Contractor receives notice of such lien and within a further ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of breach from Company (which termination shall be effective on the eleventh (11th) day after Contractor received such notice of breach from Company, unless the breach is cured before such date either by Contractor or Company pursuant to Section 15.2 (and in the case of cure by Company, Company shall have been fully reimbursed by setoff or otherwise));

(v) any representation or warranty made by Contractor in this Agreement or in any report, certificate, financial statement or Deliverable furnished by Contractor in connection with this Agreement shall be substantially untrue in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made provided Contractor does not cure such breach to Company’s reasonable satisfaction within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of breach from Company (which termination shall be effective on the sixty-first (61 st) day after the breach notice is received by Contractor, unless the breach is cured before such date); or

(vi) Contractor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Contractor, or Contractor shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by Contractors or shall be filed against Contractor and consented to, or acquiesced in by Contractor or any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Contractor shall be instituted (provided, however, that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Contractor, it shall not be an Event of Default if the same is discharged, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing or commencement thereof), or Contractor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

In the event this Agreement or any part hereof is terminated by Company pursuant to this Section, Contractor shall, subject to Section 21, be required to reimburse Company, promptly on demand, for any increased costs, except those associated with PMO Services as described in Exhibit B, incurred by Company in finding replacements to perform the Work (or to supply Materials and equipment necessary to complete the Work), including, without limitation, any costs incurred in exercising rights under Section 4.4 hereof. Company’s right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies existing under this Agreement.

Section 10.3. Termination by Company for Good Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement in whole if Contractor has either (a) paid the maximum amount of liquidated damages or breached the other termination criteria set forth in Exhibit E or (b) paid the maximum amount set forth in Exhibit I. In such event, Company shall only be obligated to pay Contractor for undisputed payment obligations hereunder for Work actually performed prior to the effective date of such termination including the pro-rated expenses associated with partially completed Milestones. It is agreed by the Parties that such termination is not an Event of Default subject to termination arising under Section 10.2 or the remedies available to Company arising therefrom and that the amounts paid by Contractor under Exhibit E and/or Exhibit I are Company’s sole and exclusive remedy for a termination arising pursuant to this Section 10.3. Termination shall be made by written notice to Contractor and shall be effective on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after Company delivers the notice.

Section 10.4. Termination by Company for Convenience. Except as set forth herein, Company may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time for

convenience upon written notice to Contractor. Company may also terminate Contractor’s Work in any Market in whole, but not in part, for convenience upon written notice to Contractor that a Change in Control has occurred and Company directs such Work to be terminated. In addition, Company may terminate all POs (other than Baltimore/Washington as set forth in Exhibit A), for Work then currently released by Company in whole, but not in part, in any Market, at any time for convenience upon written notice to Contractor; provided that such termination shall not reduce the remaining unfulfilled portion of Company’s Exclusivity Obligations to provide Site Deployment Services to Contractor pursuant to Section 2.2. In such event, Company shall pay Contractor for: Work actually performed with respect to the terminated portion of the Agreement prior to the effective date of such termination including pro rated expenses for partially completed Milestones; reasonable wind-down expenses directly incurred by Contractor in connection with the terminated portion of the Work including the termination fees under subcontracts and storage costs, cancellation costs of Materials ordered and demobilization costs; and to the extent directed in writing by Company costs to preserve Work in progress. Termination shall be made by written notice to Contractor and shall be effective on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after Company delivers the notice.

Section 10.5. Scope of Termination. Company will specify in any termination notice given hereunder, whether it is terminating the Agreement as a whole or any portion of the Work contemplated by this Agreement (or some combination of the foregoing). In the absence of any specification, Company’s termination notice will be deemed to cover the Agreement as a whole. In the event that a termination covers less than all of the Agreement, the components not terminated will continue in full force and effect. For any portion of the Work which is in process at the time of termination but which is not the subject of the termination, the terms of this Agreement will continue in effect until such portion of the Work is fulfilled or terminated.

(i) In the event that this Agreement or any portion of the Work is terminated, Contractor shall remove all of its machinery and supplies from every impacted Site, and in the event of Contractor’s failure to do so, Company may have the equipment, machinery and supplies removed at Contractor’s expense. Notwithstanding any termination, Contractor shall, at Company’s request, instruct all subcontractors to continue work for the benefit of Company and, subject to Section 4.4, Company shall thereupon become obligated to pay such subcontractors directly for Work performed or Materials supplied by them after the effective date of the termination. Contractor shall store all Materials owned by Company and relating to such Work in a safe and secure facility, as directed by Company. If the termination is the result of an Event of Default, Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of storage for a period of up to sixty (60) days. In the event of any termination under this Agreement or any portion hereof, Contractor shall comply with its obligations under Section 10.6.

(ii) Contractor shall be entitled to payment for all Work satisfactorily performed by Contractor prior to the effective date of termination and accepted by Company and, if terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.4, other costs as set forth in

Section 10.4; and if terminated pursuant to Section 10.3 the costs provided for therein; provided, however, that any such payment shall be subject to any provision for reimbursement, deduction, or withholding by Company as set forth in this Agreement. Such payment shall constitute full settlement of any and all Claims of Contractor of every description for payment relating to such Work, including, but not limited to, any Claim for lost profit.

(iii) Upon termination of this Agreement or any portion of the Work, Contractor shall, unless Company specifies otherwise (a) terminate all orders and subcontracts relating to the performance of the Work affected by the termination, to the extent the same may be terminated without cost; (b) terminate and settle, subject to approval of Company, other orders and subcontracts where the cost of termination and settlement will be less than costs which would be incurred if such orders and subcontracts were to be completed and assign such other orders or subcontracts to Company; and (c) transfer to Company, in accordance with Company’s directions, all materials, supplies, Work in progress, facilities, equipment, machinery or tools acquired by Contractor in connection with the performance of such Work and for which Contractor has been paid hereunder (whether by transfer of funds or against Contractor’s liabilities to Company), together with all plans, drawings, working drawings, sketches, specifications and information for use in connection therewith (including all copies thereof, as required elsewhere in this Agreement). If directed by Company, Contractor shall, to the extent stated in the notice of termination, take such actions to preserve the Work in progress and to protect material, plans and equipment on the applicable Site or in transit thereto, and Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement from Company for the reasonable costs thereof; provided, however, that if such termination is pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.4, Company shall have provided adequate financial assurances, acceptable to Contractor, as a condition to Contractor’s taking such actions.

Section 10.6. Transition. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any portion of the Work, Contractor will cooperate reasonably in the orderly wind-down of the Work being terminated or the transfer of the responsibility for such Work to another service provider. Contractor shall provide Company access to all information, data and records relating to the Work, subject only to reasonable security and confidentiality procedures required to protect Contractor’s lawful proprietary rights. Except if the termination is the result of an Event of Default, Company may, at its discretion, require Contractor to provide a transition period for Work not to exceed three (3) months, unless the parties mutually agree to a longer period; provided, however, in the case of termination by Contractor under Section 10.1, Company shall have provided adequate financial assurances, in a form acceptable to Contractor, as a condition to Contractor’s taking such actions. If Company initially designates a transition period of less then three (3) months, it may subsequently extend the transition period up to the maximum period of three (3) months with five (5) days’ written notice to Contractor. Company may, in its discretion, terminate the transition period upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to Contractor. During the transition period, the Parties will continue to be bound by and perform in accordance with the terms

of this Agreement that apply to the services rendered during the transition period and Company shall compensate Contractor for its Work as set forth in a transition plan to be mutually agreed upon.

SECTION 11. HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS

Section 11.1. Hazardous Condition Defined. “Hazardous Material” shall mean: (a) the presence of any hazardous materials including, without limitation, asbestos, urea, formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum and petroleum based products, methane, radon, lead, any flammable substance or material, any explosive, any radioactive substance or material and any hazardous, dangerous, toxic or regulated waste, substance, pollutant, contaminant or material, and further including, without limitation, any substances or materials defined as or included within the definition of “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials” or “toxic substances” under any Laws related thereto of all federal, state, regional or local governmental entities or agencies which regulate or otherwise require permits or other approvals for or in connection with the construction, use or occupancy of land and improvements to land; and “Unknown Condition” shall mean (b) physical conditions above or below the surface of the ground or concealed or unknown conditions of an unusual nature in an existing structure or below the surface of the ground, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in Work of the character provided for in this Agreement.

Section 11.2. Precautions. To the extent provided in Exhibit C, Contractor shall perform Phase I (ASME) and NEPA environmental analyses of each Site, including, without limitation, an analysis for the potential for lead-based paint, asbestos containing materials, or other Hazardous Materials set forth in Section 11.1(a). Contractor will not bring any materials set forth in Section 11.1(a) onto any Site without Company’s prior written permission. In the event that Contractor or any of Contractor Parties encounters any Hazardous Material, Contractor and its Contractor Party must determine if that has not been rendered harmless in strict accordance with applicable Law. If it has not been so rendered, Contractor and Contractor Parties will immediately stop Work in the area affected and immediately notify Company in writing of the Hazardous Material, along with a detailed description of the Hazardous Material, its location(s) on the Site and the basis for its classification as a Hazardous Material. The Work in the affected area shall not be resumed except by written agreement between Company and Contractor.

Section 11.3. Contractor Responsibility. Contractor is expected to be diligent in its review of all Site documentation, including all environmental reports procured pursuant to this Agreement, or provided by Company or other entities which pertain to recommended courses of action to address environmental and NEPA issues. With regard to any Hazardous Material set forth in Section 11.1(a), (i) that Contractor or a Contractor Party brings onto any Site and/or thereafter transports, releases or disposes of whether on or off a Site, or (ii) of which Contractor has received notice through, without limitation, Company’s express notification, and Contractor’s or a Contractor

Party’s actions result in the release of the Hazardous Material or otherwise resulting in a worsened condition of this Site, Contractor hereby releases Company and Company Parties from, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and Company Parties from and against any and all claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable legal costs) including those for failure to comply with all Laws, including without limitation all environmental Laws. For clarity under (ii) above, in the event Contractor performs a Phase I (ASME) and NEPA environmental analysis for a Site and in the performance of the Work as set forth in Exhibit C, Contractor ignores or otherwise fails to alert Company of information set forth in the Phase I (ASME) and NEPA environmental analysis alerting it to the presence of Hazardous Material at the Site, Contractor shall be responsible for the cost incurred by Company to have the affected area of Site remediated to the extent necessary to support the Work and to permit use of the Site for Company’s network.

Section 11.4. Company Responsibility. Except in the case of the conditions described in Section 11.3, Company shall be responsible for (i) removal, transportation and disposal of any Hazardous Material set forth in Section 11.1(a) discovered or released at any Site location; and (ii) further investigation, assessment, sampling and analysis, and any required permitting, treatment, storage, transport, remediation or disposal with respect thereto. In the event Contractor discovers any Hazardous Material or Unknown Condition for which Company is responsible hereunder, Contractor shall promptly stop work in the affected region, secure the area and shall promptly give notice to Company of such discovery. Except as provided in Section 11.3, Company hereby releases and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Contractor and Contractor Parties from any and all claims, or damages or expenses (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of or related to any Hazardous Materials.

SECTION 12. INVOICING AND PAYMENT

Section 12.1. Invoice and Payment Process. Contractor shall be paid for all Work, Materials, Pass-Through Costs, Fees, Company Taxes and Mark-ups rendered pursuant to this Agreement as follows. In no event shall Contractor commence Work on a Site in the absence of a PO authorizing such Work; and in no event shall Contractor proceed with additional Work on a Site not covered by the original PO for the Site absent written authorization from Company.

(i) By the Effective Date, Contractor shall provide an initial draft of the Rolling Cash Flow Projection (defined below) and supporting assumptions used to arrive at the amounts shown in such draft of the Rolling Cash Flow Projection. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, Company will wire an initial payment to Contractor in an amount based on the forecast of compensation to be earned as described below in Sections 12.1(viii) through (xiii) and the factors described in Section 12.4 for the then current month (Month 0) and an Advance Payment (defined below) for the ensuing two months (Months 1 and 2).

Execution Copy

 

(ii) Following the payment of the initial Advance Payment, the process for invoicing and payments described in Sections 12.1 (iii) through (vii) shall be followed by both Parties for the remainder of the Term.

(iii) Commencing on the 15th day of the first calendar month after the Effective Date, and by the 15th day of each month thereafter, the Parties shall hold a meeting (“Compensation Projection Meeting”) attended by Authorized Representatives of the Parties to review and agree upon the projected compensation to be earned by Contractor for each of the ensuing 18 months (“Months 1 – 18”, with the month containing the Compensation Projection Meeting designated as Month 0 in each monthly revision). The projected compensation (“Rolling Cash Flow Projection”) will be based on the then-current Throughput Model and forecast compensation to be earned as described below in Sections 12.1(viii) through (xiii) and the factors described in Section 12.4. If the Rolling Cash Flow Projection forecasts no compensation for the Construction Start Payment Milestone (as defined in Exhibit F) occurring in Months 0 through 2, the amount of the Advance Payment payable by Company to Contractor by the end of Month 0 shall be equal to the projected Contractor’s compensation for Month 2. If the Rolling Cash Flow Projection for the first time forecasts compensation for the Construction Start Payment Milestone (as defined in Exhibit F) occurring in Months 0 through 2, the amount of the Advance Payment payable by Company to Contractor by the end of Month 0 shall be equal to the projected Contractor’s compensation for Months 2 and 3. All subsequent Advance Payment amounts shall be equal to the projected Contractor’s compensation for Month 3 for the then-current Rolling Cash Flow Projection. The Parties’ agreement on the Rolling Cash Flow Projection will also represent agreement by the Parties on the Advance Payment amount. If the 15th day of a month falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the Parties shall meet on a Business Day prior to the 15th.

(iv) At the Compensation Projection Meeting, Contractor shall provide to Company supporting assumptions used to arrive at the amounts shown in the Rolling Cash Flow Projection. Company may also elect at such meeting to delay the month during which the first Construction Start Payment Milestone is scheduled to occur to a later month so long as such milestone is not then-currently projected to occur earlier than Month 2 at the time of such election. If these assumptions change as a result of the Compensation Projection Meeting, Contractor shall provide a revised Rolling Cash Flow Projection by no later than the 20th day of Month 0, as a prerequisite to the Advance Payment due by the end of Month 0; provided, however, that Contractor shall have no obligation to proceed with the applicable Work absent agreement on the Advance Payment. Should the Company fail to meet with Contractor by the 15th day of any month, or fail to agree as to the amount of the Advance Payment, for any reason, the Advance Payment for the prescribed period shall be based on the most recent agreed Rolling Cash Flow Projection provided by Contractor to Company.

(v) Except for the initial Advance Payment to be made within the time period specified in Section 12.1(i), by no later than the last Business Day of Month 0, Company shall make a wire transfer of the Advance Payment.

(vi) By the 5th day of Month 1, Contractor shall issue a reconciliation invoice (“Reconciliation Invoice”) which includes detail of the actual compensation earned by the Contractor (as described below in Sections 12.1(viii) through (xiii)) through the end of Month 0, in accordance with the requirements and in substantially the same form as the examples set forth in Exhibit D. Any difference (“True-up”) between the amounts paid by Company through the end of Month 0 and the actual compensation earned by Contractor through the end of Month 0 due to Company may, at Company’s election, be set off from any future Advance Payment or Reconciliation Invoice. If Company does not elect to set off all or any portion of such True-up amount against a future Advance Payment or Reconciliation Invoice, then upon written request from Company, Contractor shall pay such True-up amount, or such portion thereof that has not been set off, to Company within thirty (30) days of such written request. Any True-up due to Contractor will be paid by Company by the last Business Day of Month 1 consistent with Section 12.1(v). By way of example, on March 5th, a Reconciliation Invoice will be issued detailing actual compensation earned through February. Any True-up due to Company will be set off from the Advance Payment made by March 31st. Any True-up due to Contractor will be paid by the Company no later than March 31st consistent with Section 12.1(v).

(vii) Reconciliation Invoices shall meet the following requirements:

(a) Each line item on the Reconciliation Invoice shall be specific to one and only one PO, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

(b) Each separate item (e.g., Milestone, Pass Through Cost, Materials charge, Materials Mark-up fee, Company Taxes, Management Service Fee, charges for Supplemental Unit Prices, PMO charges) shall be listed on a separate line on the Reconciliation Invoice. Line items shall not bundle charges together (e.g., Materials and services), except in the case of miscellaneous Materials with values under $100 or unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

(c) Each Reconciliation Invoice will be substantially in the form of Attachment 1 to Exhibit D.

(viii) Compensation for PMO Services Personnel Costs, business travel costs and Company Taxes directly related to business travel costs as described in Exhibit F is earned on a monthly basis.

(ix) Compensation for Base Cell Site Unit Prices, as described in Exhibit F in accordance with the amounts and percentages assigned to each Site Milestone as set forth in Exhibit F (“Site Milestone Payment Schedule”), is earned as each such Milestone is achieved. The percentages shall be applied to the Base Cell Site Unit Prices for each Site, pursuant to a PO. Compensation for Changes is earned as provided in each agreed Change Order. If the Change Order applies to a task or Deliverable included under the Base Cell Site Unit Price, then compensation for the

Change shall be earned proportionally according to the same percentages assigned to each Site Milestone as set forth in Exhibit F, but will be invoiced on a separate line item, as illustrated in Exhibit D. By way of example, if the construction of a Structural Modification is conducted concurrently with construction of the Site, and is included in the PO for Construction of that Site, compensation for the construction will be earned as follows: [***]% at Construction Start Milestone, [***]% at Construction Complete Milestone, and [***]% at Site Acceptance Milestone.

(x) Compensation for Materials and Mark-Up as described in Exhibit F is earned as invoices are received from Contractor’s material suppliers.

(xi) Compensation for Pass-Through Costs as described in Exhibit F is earned when such costs are invoiced to or paid by the Contractor.

(xii) Compensation for Company Taxes as described in Section 13 of the Agreement and Exhibit F is earned when the compensation for the respective line items to which the Company Taxes apply are due.

(xiii) Compensation for the Management Service Fee is earned as described in Exhibit F.

All Reconciliation Invoices shall be submitted to:

TerreStar Networks

12010 Sunset Hills Road

Sixth Floor

Reston, Virginia 20190

Attn: Accounts Payable (or such other location as Company may direct Contractor)

Upon request, Contractor shall also provide any additional information that Company may require to confirm the accuracy of Contractor’s Reconciliation Invoice calculations. Contractor acknowledges that, for purposes of Company’s payment processing system, the amount invoiced on each Reconciliation Invoice must not exceed the amount authorized by the corresponding PO(s) issued by Company for the Work to which the Reconciliation Invoice relates, as adjusted pursuant to Section 23. Contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain prior approval from an Authorized Representative of the Company for the submission of any Reconciliation Invoice that exceeds the corresponding PO(s), as such PO(s) may be adjusted pursuant to Section 23.

Any disagreement concerning payment on a Reconciliation Invoice shall be resolved in accordance with Section 26 hereof. Contractor shall not invoice Company for Milestones not achieved or Work not completed as a result of an Excusable Delay; provided, however, that the occurrence of an Excusable Delay shall not excuse the payment of any Reconciliation Invoices which are due and owing for Work properly performed prior to or during the Excusable Delay or any Advance Payment due and owing in accordance with the Rolling Cash Flow Projection, which shall be modified as necessary to take into account any projected adjustment of Work resulting from an Excusable Delay. The final payment due under any PO, shall be due and payable thirty (30) calendar days following the last to occur of the following: (i) the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Contractor has delivered a Reconciliation Invoice for Final Payment (including all details and supporting documentation as to amounts invoiced) and (iii) Contractor has delivered to Company any required lien waivers of all relevant subcontractors confirming that they have been fully paid for the Work, together with any other Deliverables necessary to meet the applicable PO. “Final Payment” means the last Reconciliation Invoice that Contractor is entitled to submit with respect to a PO. Acceptance by Contractor of Final Payment for Work covered by a PO shall be irrevocably deemed to be Contractor’s acknowledgement that it has been paid in full under the PO and shall constitute a waiver of all claims for payment by Contractor in respect of such Work, except for (i) any claims made in writing prior to the delivery of the Reconciliation Invoice for Final Payment and identified as unsettled and (ii) expenses for Materials or Pass-Through Costs that are either inadvertently omitted or not reasonably available to Contractor at the time of the Reconciliation Invoice for Final Payment or additional Company Taxes which in any event must be submitted within twelve (12) months of the Reconciliation Invoice for Final Payment as to the applicable PO or such amount(s) shall be deemed waived by Contractor.

If Contractor shall not have delivered any properly prepared Reconciliation Invoice as required hereunder within the time specified therefore, the relevant payment due date shall be extended on a day for day basis after receipt of such properly submitted Reconciliation Invoice. If Company disputes any portion of a Reconciliation Invoice as failing to satisfy any of the foregoing requirements or as incorrect, Company will make timely payment of the undisputed amounts.

Company reserves the right to raise payment disputes for up to twelve (12) months after the applicable payment due date. After such period, Company may raise payment disputes solely through the audit process described in Section 14.2.

Section 12.3. Late Payment. Any amounts due either Party under this Agreement that are not subject to a dispute and remaining unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest, commencing on the day after the due date and compounded for each day thereafter until the date paid, at the rate equal to [***] percent ([***]%) above the prime lending rate quoted to substantial and responsible commercial borrowers on ninety (90) day loans by the Morgan Guarantee Trust Company, New York, on each day such interest accrues.

Section 12.4. Cash Flow Projection. The Parties agree that the Rolling Cash Flow Projections are to be based on good faith estimates of compensation projected to be earned by Contractor as described herein. Calculations of projections to be presented, discussed, and agreed as described above will be based upon the following factors:

(i) Number of Sites/Search Rings projected to reach each payment Milestone during the relevant months, per the then current version of the Throughput Model.

(ii) Projected ratio of Site types by Milestone, by month. This projection should be based on factors such as past experience, projected locations (i.e., predominately urban, rural, suburban), trends in availability of various Site types, and shall be adjusted in future projections to reflect additional experience in the markets.

(iii) Projected amount of compensation for services that are not covered under the Base Cell Site Unit Price, such as structural modification design and construction required to make any Company-approved modification, stealthing, landscaping, and services subject to Supplemental Unit Costs as set forth in Exhibit F, Attachment 5.

(iv) Projected amounts for Materials. This should be based on standard assumptions for Materials based on Site type, percentages of Sites requiring stealthing and structural modifications, and other factors affecting the amount of materials required. These projections should be based on past experience and adjusted in future projections to reflect additional experience in the Markets.

(v) Projected amounts for third party fees (e.g., landlord, jurisdictional). These projections should be based on past experience and adjusted in future projections as appropriate to reflect additional experience in the Markets.

(vi) Projected amounts of MSF, which amounts must be tied to paragraphs (i) and (iii) of this section.

(vii) Projected amounts of Materials mark-ups, which amount must be tied to paragraph (iv) of this section.

(viii) Projected amounts of PMO compensation

(ix) Projected amount of Company Taxes.

All of the above projected amounts shall be tied to the then current version of the Throughput Model and Site mix assumptions.

Section 12.5. Suspension.

(i) If Company fails to make any undisputed payment when due, Company shall be considered in material breach of this Agreement and Contractor shall have the right, following fifteen (15) days of written notice to Company, to suspend the Work in whole or in part and seek remedies in accordance with this Agreement. Within five (5) days of Contractor’s delivery of the foregoing written notice, Company’s and Contractor’s respective Management Committee representative(s) and Chief Financial Officer(s) shall meet and discuss the underlying causes of the breach, alternatives to Contractor’s suspension of Work, steps that may be taken by Company to remedy the non-payment to prevent suspension, and steps by Contractor to minimize any costs that Contractor may incur if the Work is suspended in whole or in part (such meeting is referred to herein as the “Pre-Suspension Meeting”). If Company fails to meet with Contractor within five (5) days of Contractor’s notice or if the Parties cannot reach an agreement by the end of the fifteen (15) day notice period for any reason, then Contractor may exercise the rights set forth in this Section 12.5. Further, upon Company’s written request at any time during the 15 day notice period, Contractor shall suspend the Work in whole or in part. In the event of a suspension under this Section, the provisions of Section 10.4 shall apply as to any ongoing and reasonable costs actually incurred by Contractor.

(ii) In the event Company cures the breach (i.e., as to past due undisputed amounts due to Contractor) within the time provided in Section 10.1(i) of this Agreement, Contractor shall immediately resume Work unless otherwise directed by Company in writing.

Section 12.6. Material Breach. Company is not obligated to make any payment under this Agreement for Work that is unauthorized via a mutually agreed PO, that fails to satisfy Applicable Requirements or that is otherwise completed in breach of this Agreement until such time as Contractor has cured the breach to Company’s satisfaction. No payment shall constitute an acceptance of any Work that is not in accordance with this Agreement or any Applicable Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if only a part of an Invoice is in dispute as failing to satisfy any of the foregoing matters, Company will make timely payment of the undisputed amounts.

Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Contractor from any Claims with respect to Company Taxes for which it is responsible.

Section 13.3. Certification and Registration; Invoicing Prior to commencing the Work in a particular state, to the extent possible, the Company shall provide the Contractor with a properly completed sales tax exemption certificate for the state evidencing the Company’s intent to take advantage of such exemption. If Work has started in a state prior to the Company providing the Contractor with said exemption certificate, the Contractor shall accept the exemption certificate as of the date issued. Contractor and Company will cooperate to apply for refunds of taxes paid prior to receipt of exemption certificates.

Contractor shall provide Company with Contractor’s sales tax registration number from the states in which goods and/or services provided under this Agreement are performed.

Company and its authorized agents and representatives shall be given unrestricted access to the data bases in which any such information is maintained and shall have the right to make copies of all such books and records. Each such audit shall be at the Company’s sole expense; provided, however, that if such audit discloses an error of three percent (3%) or more in the payments made under this Agreement (including Company Taxes) on Invoices issued at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the audit date, Contractor shall pay the cost of such audit.

If on final determination of such contest, payment is found to be owed to the party that filed the lien, Contractor shall immediately pay any adverse judgment rendered, together with all proper fees, costs and charges and shall have the lien released at its own expense.

Section 15.2. Evidence of Payment; Hold Harmless.

Contractor shall be responsible for all costs and expenses arising from repair, packaging, shipping, insurance, Taxes, and other matters associated with any corrective measure. In no event shall final payment, partial acceptance of total work, or partial or entire use or occupancy by Company relieve Contractor of liability or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship or any breach of the Agreement.

If Contractor fails to cure any breach of warranty after two (2) attempts at correction, such attempts not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a notice of defect from Company, and provided the Parties have not agreed in writing upon an alternative cure, Company may, by separate contract or otherwise, make the necessary cure and Contractor shall pay to Company all the costs of such cure or, at Company’s election, Company may set-off such amounts against sums otherwise due Contractor. Company may return the Deliverables to Contractor, at Contractor’s expense and Company’s option, for correction, replacement or credit, even if the period to perform those corrections extends beyond the Deliverables’ warranty period but in no event shall the Warranty Period itself be extended.

Section 19.7. Exclusive Warranties.

Each Party and each of the Company Indemnities and Contractor Indemnities shall have the right to defend its own interest in connection with any such Claims, and such election to so defend its own interest shall in no way relieve Contractor or Company of its obligations under this Section 20.1. The duties described in this Section 20 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.

No settlement of a claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money by Contractor will be entered into without the consent of each affected Company Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) If the Indemnitor (a) fails to notify the applicable Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s intent to take any action within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice of a Claim for which it is responsible under this Section or this Agreement or (b) fails to proceed with the resolution of the Claim for which it is responsible, the Indemnitee, with prior written notice to the Indemnitor and without waiving any rights to indemnification, including reimbursement of reasonable legal fees and legal costs, may defend or settle the Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.

Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award any consequential or punitive damages.

SCOPE OF WORK

This Exhibit B, Program Management Office (PMO) Scope of Work (SOW), details the scope of the Contractor’s responsibilities in the establishment and operation of a national Program Management Office (PMO).

Contractor will establish a national PMO to enable Company to develop, deploy and deliver its wireless Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) network. The purpose of the PMO is to manage the execution of the overall program. The primary services will include oversight and/or managing contracts with subcontractors whose scope of work includes activities and tasks covered in Exhibit C of this Agreement. The scope of the PMO does not include day-to-day management of work being performed to accomplish the Milestones set forth in Exhibit C. This SOW is as set forth herein and in the Division of Responsibilities (“DOR”) as Exhibit B, Attachment 1, as such scope may be amended by the Parties from time to time. For purposes of this Exhibit B, Site Development Contractors means the Contractor in its role as the deployment vendor in the Markets, as covered by Exhibit C, and such other Company contractors as may be established from time to time to perform the work described in Exhibit C.

Nothing in this Exhibit B shall be construed as providing the Contractor with authority to conduct any market management or Site Development task that is covered under the Base Unit Cell Prices in the Agreement, or in Exhibit C.

 

I. Overview

 

  A. Program Definition

Company intends to build the Ancillary Terrestrial Component of its network in 20 markets, beginning with approximately 700 Sites in Dallas, Salt Lake City and Washington DC. Based on the volume and desired build schedule, Company has elected to utilize Site Development Contractors to develop these Sites. The acquisition and deployment of these Sites, as described in Exhibit C, is the Program.

 

  B. PMO

Company is engaging Contractor to establish and execute a PMO to oversee and manage Program implementation. PMO’s primary responsibilities will be in the areas of Program management and reporting, corporate support, point of escalation, performance measurement and tracking, and quality assurance. In its performance of these responsibilities, PMO will be responsible for overseeing Site Development Contractor’s performance of tasks outlined in Exhibit C and thereby ensuring that Site Development Contractor’s Market Deployment Team completes all Milestones, as set forth in Exhibit C to the Agreement. PMO also will be responsible for managing the

overall Deployment schedule, which will include services that relate to network design and implementation as provided by Network Vendors. PMO will be responsible for the overall co-ordination of the Program implementation, including interfaces with vendors/contractors and Company as outlined in this Agreement.

 

II. Program Management and Reporting

 

  A. Milestones

PMO will be responsible for performing Program management services, as described in this Scope of Work and in accordance with Company’s requirements to meet the Milestone targets as established in the Throughput Model. PMO will manage and report to Company on all aspects of the Project, including establishing schedules to meet the milestone targets as detailed in the Throughput Model, and establishing procedures to meet Company’s schedule, cost and quality requirements. As directed by Company, PMO will perform internal Company procedures and will facilitate internal Company interfaces at the corporate level to support Company progress reporting and accounting policies.

 

  B. Program Management Tasks

PMO will:

 

  1. Monitor the fulfillment of each Site Development Contractor’s deliverable and other work requirements as set forth in Exhibit C.

 

  2. Monitor Site Development Contractor’s progress in meeting applicable Site and other milestones as defined by Company in the Site Development Contractor’s respective agreements.

 

  3. Coordinate the development of market level Project plans to be created by Site Development Contractors.

EXHIBIT C – SITE DEVELOPMENT SCOPE OF WORK    TERRESTAR NETWORKS PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL


1 Scope of Work Overview

The Scope of Work detailed in this document is for the performance of Site development activities for Company.

 

2 Market Deployment Team

Staffing

Without limiting the applicable terms in the body of the Agreement, including in Section 3.3 (“Staffing; Key Positions”) Contractor agrees that the personnel providing the services set forth in this Scope of Work will at all times be professionals with the skills and qualifications necessary to properly perform the Work under this Agreement. Contractor agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain consistent staffing of personnel in each Market, throughout the Term. Contractor will replace any of its personnel that Company reasonably requests to have replaced. Any replacement personnel, whether replaced upon request of Company or otherwise, will possess comparable or greater experience, qualifications and credentials as the person being replaced. In the case of any permitted replacements of personnel, Contractor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide overlapping service time with replaced personnel. The Market Manager will be deemed a Key Personnel.

Organization

Contractor’s Market teams will be organized functionally as illustrated in the chart below. The number of personnel assigned to a Market team, and the location of any member will be determined by the Contractor based on the work load.

LOGO

Subcontractors

Contractor’s use of any subcontractor(s) to perform the Work under this Scope of Work will be subject to the terms set forth in the body of the Agreement.

 

3 Site Acquisition Service Descriptions and Process

Receipt of Search Rings

Company’s Network Vendor will provide Search Rings through Company’s Site Management System. Company will then approve the Search Rings and release the Rings to Contractor via the SMS, thus beginning the Site candidate search process. Such Rings will be released through site acquisition request forms, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, Attachment 1, or such other form as the RF Network Vendor desires.

 

 

EXHIBIT C – SITE DEVELOPMENT SCOPE OF WORK    TERRESTAR NETWORKS PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL


A “Search Ring” is a specified geographic area within a Market comprising a part of the radio access network (or “RAN”) and is designed to contain a single Company Site used in connection with the operation of the RAN. Each Search Ring will clearly define latitude and longitude of the Ring center, the radius of the search area around the Ring, and the height (including +/- tolerance) of RAD center with respect to the applicable Site level measurement point. Contractor will utilize standard Site configuration unless noted differently in the Search Ring information. Each Market will contain multiple Search Rings. Contractor’s Market Managers will coordinate with Contractor’s Program Management Office as necessary to ensure receipt of the Search Rings. A Search Ring is also sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Ring”.

Preliminary research of new build Sites

For all Search Rings, Contractor will perform preliminary research to identify potential candidates, suitable buildings or other structures, and existing towers/facilities for the pre-determined coverage areas. Contractor will first search for opportunities on existing towers (i.e., Collocation Sites), Rooftops or other structures such as Water Towers. If none of the foregoing is available, Contractor will so advise Company and search for available space for a new build (i.e., Raw Land) Site. Contractor will analyze the pre-determined coverage area to understand the zoning laws, permitting and zoning history, and processes required to successfully obtain permits for the Sites.

Site Candidate Information Package (SCIP) Submission, Scoring and Ranking

SCIP Submission. For each Search Ring released, Contractor will identify up to three (3) Site candidates and will provide its analysis of each candidate, in the form of a completed Site candidate information package (each a “SCIP”), attached hereto as Exhibit C, Attachment 2, per candidate. In the event that three (3) feasible candidates are not available, the Market Manager will notify Company in advance of submitting the SCIP(s) and include in the submission a detailed written explanation outlining why three (3) candidates were not available. Company will notify Contractor within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notification if it desires further explanation as to the number of candidates, absent which the number will be deemed accepted. If Company requests, Contractor will provide more than three SCIPs per Ring and Contractor may charge Company for each additional SCIP submitted in accordance with the terms herein at the unit price set forth in Exhibit F. Additionally, if Company determines that the search area in which a Ring was previously released requires redesign and such redesign results in the release of new Search Ring(s), the old Search Ring will be cancelled, and the Company will issue the new Search Ring(s) as previously described. Contractor will upload electronic versions of all completed SCIPs in Company’s SMS.

Scoring, Ranking, and Guidelines. Contractor will score the SCIPs according to leasibility, zonability, constructability, and order of magnitude (i.e., cost) on a 1-5 scale using the criteria set forth in Exhibit C, Attachment 3 hereto. Contractor will obtain scores from the backhaul and RF design Network Vendors according to the Site’s backhaul and RF characteristics, respectively. The backhaul and RF design Network Vendors will provide such data to Contractor within five (5) Business Days of Contractor’s input into Company’s SMS of the final SCIP for a given Search Ring. Contractor will then

 

2

 

EXHIBIT C – SITE DEVELOPMENT SCOPE OF WORK    TERRESTAR NETWORKS PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL


consolidate the scores into a consolidated score for each Site. Then Contractor will rank the candidates by first, second, and third choice, depending on the number of SCIPs. The Site ranked first will be Contractor’s primary candidate recommendation. The recommended primary candidate need not be the highest scoring candidate. However, Contractor should explain in writing why the Site was chosen as the primary candidate in all cases. Such scoring and recommendation will be provided in the form of Exhibit C, Attachment 3 hereto. Contractor will provide a detailed explanation of its recommendation.

SCIP Milestone Payment. Contractor agrees that the SCIP Submission Milestone payment is conditioned upon Contractor’s submittal into Company’s SMS of such number of complete SCIPs per Ring as provided in accordance with Section 3.3.1.

Primary Candidate Approval

After Contractor has uploaded the completed scoring and ranking forms and the primary candidate recommendation into Company’s SMS, Company will have seven (7) Business Days to approve the primary candidate in writing, upload the approval and a Site Acquisition Notice to Proceed (also referred to as the “SA NTP”) (attached hereto as Exhibit C, Attachment 4), and ensure that the completed RF Site configuration sheet (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, Attachment 8) and backhaul Site Configuration sheet (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, Attachment 9) are submitted from the responsible Network Vendors and uploaded into the SMS. Upon Company’s uploading of these documents in the SMS, Contractor will have met all requirements for the Primary Candidate Approval Milestone payment.

If Company does not notify Contractor of any deficiency or fails to upload the approval and/or the other referenced documents for which it is responsible for uploading within the foregoing seven (7) Business Day period, the Primary Candidate Approval Milestone will be deemed complete and accepted by Company for payment purposes.

The TerreStar Story

Who We Are

TerreStar is a satellite communications company. We are building an IP enabled, next generation mobile communications network over an integrated satellite-terrestrial system. The

 

Proprietary & Confidential    2 (43)    Bechtel Communications & TerreStar Networks
Exhibit C Attachment 5 Leasing Guidelines      


Execution Copy

 

terrestrial portion of our telecommunications network is designed to supplement our satellite communications capabilities in dense urban areas, to ensure seamless connectivity when it is needed most.

TerreStar’s system will operate in two 10-Mhz blocks of contiguous spectrum in the 2 GHz band throughout the United States and Canada. The company’s spectrum footprint will cover a total population of nearly 330 million. The satellite footprint is highlighted in blue, below.

LOGO

Frequencies

TerreStar has received an allocation from the FCC for 20 MHz of spectrum in the S-Band. The S-band uplink is 2,000-2,020 MHz and downlink is 2180-2200 MHz. No cellular communications companies are currently using these frequencies, so there is minimal risk of interference with existing tenants on most collocation sites. TerreStar has a blanket FCC license that covers the entire US, no per site license is required by the FCC.

Technology / Equipment / Footprint

TerreStar’s desired equipment footprint area is a modest 12’ X 10’ location. We anticipate using three 4’ tall X 8” wide antennas for each installation. TerreStar utilizes W-CDMA base station radios, from [***], these radios will have different part numbers than CDMA equipment, and may not yet

Backhaul

TerreStar anticipates that some of the sites may not have adequate fiber available, in which case microwave backhaul will be required for the site. Currently, we are planning to use microwave antenna models with of 1’ or 2’ diameters.

Section 3: Due Diligence

Contractor will perform the required due diligence on each site prior to TerreStar’s approval and execution of the Lease depending on the specific leasing requirements for each site. Contractor will submit a completed Due Diligence Checklist, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, in each Site Lease Package. The due diligence for each site, will include, as appropriate:

TerreStar Networks Inc.
By:  

 

Name:  

 

Title:  

 

Date:  

 

Term of Lease:

The term of Terrestar’s tenancy shall commence upon the start of construction of the Tenant Facilities or twelve (12) months following the Effective Date of the agreement, whichever first occurs and shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Term Commencement Date unless otherwise terminated. The agreement shall automatically extend the Term for five (5) successive five (5) year on the same terms and conditions as the initial term, unless TerreStar notifies the Landlord of its intention not to renew prior to commencement of the succeeding Renewal Term.

Termination Rights:

Lessor Termination: Lessor shall have a right to terminate the lease agreement, in the event that TerreStar fails to cure non-payment within 15 days of notice or any other breach within 60 days of receiving notice (unless a longer cure period is agreed to); or for condemnation or casualty. Any other termination rights, must be approved by TerreStar Legal.

TerreStar Termination: TerreStar shall have a right to terminate the lease agreement, with 30 days notice to the lessor in the event that lessor fails to cure a breach within 60 days of receiving notice (unless a longer cure period is agreed to); if TerreStar does not obtain or maintain any license, permit or other approval necessary for the construction and operation of the TerreStar’s Facilities; if TerreStar is unable to occupy and utilize the Premises due to an action of the FCC, including without limitation, a take back of channels or change in frequencies; if any environmental report for the land reveals the presence of any Hazardous Material after the Term Commencement Date; if TerreStar determines that the Premises are not appropriate for its operations for economic or technological reasons, including, without limitation, signal interference; or if the Landlord fails to deliver to TerreStar a required executed memorandum of agreement or non-disturbance and attornment agreement . Additionally, Premises or Tenant Facilities are damaged, destroyed, condemned or transferred in lieu of condemnation, Tenant may elect to terminate this Agreement as of the date of the damage, destruction, condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation by giving notice to Landlord no more than forty-five (45) days following the date of such damage, destruction, condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation. If Tenant chooses not to terminate this Agreement, Rent shall be reduced or abated in proportion to the actual reduction or abatement of use of the Premises.

Term and Rent Commencement:

The term of TerreStar’s tenancy shall commence upon the start of construction of the Tenant Facilities or twelve (12) months following the Effective Date of the agreement, whichever first occurs. Within fifteen (15) business days following the Term Commencement Date and on the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to lessor the agreed upon rent. Rent for any fractional month at the beginning or at the end of the Term or Renewal Term shall be prorated.

Taxes

If personal property taxes are assessed, TerreStar shall pay any portion of such taxes directly attributable to the TerreStar’s equipment on the premises. Lessor shall pay all real property taxes, assessments and deferred taxes on the land; taxes assessed on lessor’s operations or net income, and pay a pro rata share of such tower operation expenses or real estate taxes.

Space to be Leased:

Tower Space: The tower space (or rooftop space) leased for the use of the antennas should match the dimensions of the antenna to be used at the site.

Ground Space (Leased Space): 12’X10’

The ground space leased should be: 12’X10’, this provides plenty of space for TerreStar’s initial and any future needs (See Appendix 6). In the event 12’X10’ is not available, Contractor is authorized to obtain a 6’X6’ space (at a minimum) for the footprint of TerreStar’s equipment cabinets (including applicable door swings) and adjacent equipment (power and telco/ethernet supply).

Lessor’s Right to Stack or Make Modifications:

TerreStar understands that at some sites ground space is limited, and the lessor may request the right to stack equipment over TerreStar’s equipment. If a condition of leasing the site is to allow equipment to be stacked over TerreStar’s equipment, or to stack TerreStar’s equipment over the equipment of an existing tenant, TerreStar’s Market Manager needs to be notified of such requirement during the application process and must have the right to reject the site, based on this requirement. If TerreStar proceeds with the lease for this site, TerreStar must have the right to review plans in advance and accept or reject the proposed location of the equipment. In no event may the proposed stacking or modifications impede TerreStar’s RF propagation pattern. In the event that a shelter is installed above TerreStar’s shelter, the landlord shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with obtaining any required permits in connection with such shelter installation, and shall ensure that such shelter installation complies with all applicable laws.

Lessor’s Right to Relocate TerreStar’s Equipment or the Tower:

The lessor should not have the right to relocate TerreStar’s equipment or the tower.

Exhibit C Attachment 5 Leasing Guidelines      


Execution Copy

 

Reservation of structural capacity:

The lessor shall reserve structural capacity on the tower and site for all equipment described in the lease or SLA.

TerreStar’s Rights to Make Modifications:

If the subject modification is entirely within leased ground space and does not involve a frequency change (from the bandwidth described in the lease) then no consent should be required from the lessor, nor should notice to the lessor be required.

If the subject modification involves only a change in frequency from that specified in the lease, then no consent should be required from the lessor. However, notice to the lessor may be required, and an amendment of the lease to permit the new frequency usage may be required.

If the subject modification involves a “like-for-like, swap out” of antenna or other tower-mounted equipment with identical equipment or different equipment that does not materially increase tower loading, then no consent of lessor should be required. However, notice may be required to be given to the lessor and the lease may be required to be amended to permit the new equipment, (unless it is identical in all respects to the replaced equipment).

Conditional Leases:

Ideally, TerreStar should be able to obtain fully executed leases prior to performing all due diligence and obtaining all necessary consents, if appropriate conditions precedent clauses are added. In such cases TerreStar (or both parties) must have the right to terminate the license if the necessary approvals are not obtained by a specified time frame. Examples of such conditions precedent are zoning approval, landlord consent, and third party waiver of ROFR.

Site Access:

TerreStar should have the right to access the site on a 24/7/365 basis. TerreStar’s access rights may be subject to the terms of the ground lease, and may be non-exclusive. TERRESTAR should have a non-exclusive easement to use all parts of the site, that are not reserved exclusively for any other entities use, for construction access, inspection, maintenance and repair access, temporary materials staging during construction and repair, and other related uses. TerreStar should not have to give notice to the lessor before entering a site. If necessary, it is acceptable to agree to give notice (24 – 48 hours max.) to the lessor before TerreStar performs “elevated work” at a site but for no other reason.

Snow Removal:

The lessor should be obligated to keep the access way and site sufficiently clear of snow to permit access. Possible compromises include stating that the access must be sufficient for four wheel drive vehicles, that the clearing will only be done on request, or that the clearing will only be requested where TerreStar has a bona fide need to access the site immediately.

Zoning Approvals:

TerreStar will obtain all zoning approvals necessary to install its equipment. The imposition of special conditions to approval may be made subject to review and approval by lessor.

Exhibit C Attachment 5 Leasing Guidelines      


Execution Copy

 

Representations and Warranties:

Ideally the lessor should represent and warrant that it holds good title to the site, and that it will assure that the site and tower comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If required, TerreStar may represent and warrant that it will maintain its equipment in good condition and will operate in accordance with all applicable law and regulation. As with all other provisions of this Leasing Guide, if Contractor has any questions about representations and warranties, Contractor should contact TerreStar’s legal counsel.

Installation of Equipment:

TerreStar shall have the right to install and modify its equipment, with no obligation to permit lessor to perform or bid on the installation work.

Close-Out Documentation:

It is acceptable to agree that TerreStar shall provide copies of “as-built” drawings, building permits and other customary “close-out” documentation to the lessor within thirty (30) days of completion of installation or modification of TerreStar’s equipment.

Subordination and Non-Disturbance Clauses:

If required, TerreStar may agree to subordinate its interest in a site to prior and future encumbrances of the lessor’s interest (a subordination agreement) provided that said encumbrances must agree that TerreStar’s’s possession will not be disturbed in the event of foreclosure so long as TerreStar is not in default under the lease (a non-disturbance agreement).

Ground Lease Provisions:

A copy of the ground lease (if any) must be provided; it should be an exhibit to the lease. It may be redacted to delete the amount of the rent or other confidential irrelevant information. The lease should provide that the lessor agrees to exercise all rights to renew the term of the ground lease for the duration of the lease term as may be renewed.

RF Interference:

The lease must provide that the lessor will cause any third party to eliminate any RF interference that its (subsequently commenced) use causes to TerreStar’s (previously commenced) use. TerreStar will agree not to cause RF interference with previously commenced uses at the subject site that are FCC licensed, and to cure any RF interference within seventy-two (72) hours of notice thereof, but will not agree not to interfere with any prior or subsequent uses that are not FCC licensed.

Payment Method:

By check or electronic transmittal payable to lessor on a monthly basis.

Exhibit C Attachment 5 Leasing Guidelines      


Execution Copy

 

RF Exposure:

TerreStar will cooperate with the licensor and other site users to address non-compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.

Waiver of Landlord’s Lien:

The lessor should waive any rights to a landlord’s lien so that TerreStar’s property is unencumbered and may be used as collateral by TerreStar.

Indemnification Clauses:

Indemnity clauses must conform to TerreStarstandard clauses or be approved by TERRESTAR’s counsel.

Limitations of Liability (Waiver of Consequential Damages):

Both lessor and TerreStar should waive any right to collateral or punitive damages.

Insurance:

The insurance clauses in the lease must accurately reflec’s current coverages and limits, and otherwise be acceptable. A summary of TERRESTAR’s insurance will be provided.

Utilities:

Ideally the lease will represent that separately metered electricity is available at the site. TERRESTAR should not agree to pay any share of utility costs for service supplied to lessor or other carriers.

Casualty and Condemnation:

The lease should provide that the lessor shall repair any casualty damage to the site within ninety (90) days of the date of the casualty, and rebuild the site or replace the tower within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the casualty in the event the tower and/or the site is destroyed. During the repair period, the rent should abate, and TERRESTAR should be allowed, without charge, to install and operate a “cell on wheels” (C.O.W.), if conditions permit.

Default and Cure Periods:

The lessor must provide written notice and fifteen(15) day cure period before delinquent payment constitutes a default. There should be no cross default provisions. Lessor must provide written notice and sixty (60) day cure period (with additional time provided if reasonably needed and if the cure is commenced within said sixty(60) day period) before non-monetary breach constitutes a default

Environmental Provisions:

Ideally, the lease should require the lessor to provide to TerreStar copies of any Phase 1 ESA report that it possesses. The lease should provide that the lessor shall indemnify TerreStar against any liability or cost incurred due to environmental problems at the site unless caused by TerreStar or third parties not under the lessor’s control.

 

Proprietary & Confidential    17 (43)    Bechtel Communications & TerreStar Networks
Exhibit C Attachment 5 Leasing Guidelines      


Execution Copy

 

FCC Antenna Structure Registration:

The lease should state that the lessor shall provide a copy of the licensor’s FCC Form 854-R.

Governing Law, Jurisdiction:

The lease should provide that disputes will be litigated in the state where the site is located and that state’s law should be applied to determine the outcome.

Assignment Rights:

TerreStar must have the right to assign its interests in the lease to third parties without the consent of the lessor, at least with respect to transfers to its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates or successors of TerreStar’s business whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise. Ideally TerreStar should be released from further liability upon making the assignment. This right should not be limited to affiliates of or successors to TerreStar. It is permissible to require notice of such assignments to be given to lessor.

Non-Disclosure Provisions:

The lease should provide that its content and existence should be kept confidential by both parties, with certain exceptions.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

TerreStar’s operations are subject to more regulations than other cellular carriers. The satellite portion of TerreStar’s business brings State Department and Defense Department rules to bear on its operations. As a result, TerreStar requires that lessors agree to not only keep the site in conformance with all applicable, laws, rules and regulations and agree to reasonably cooperate with TerreStar regarding any compliance required by the TerreStar in respect to its use of the site. Lessor must also acknowledge that any products, software, and technical information provided under the lease are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations and any use or transfer of such products, software, and technical information must be authorized under those regulations. Lessor must agree that it will not use, distribute, transfer, or transmit the products, software, or technical information (even if incorporated into other products) except in compliance with U.S. export regulations. TerreStar will agree to use the site as may be required or as permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to comply with U.S. export regulations, as well.

EXHIBIT D

ORDERING AND INVOICING PROCESSES

 

I. Introduction

This Exhibit sets forth the processes and protocols associated with Company’s issuance of Purchase Orders and Contractor’s invoicing for the Work covered in the Agreement.

 

II. Purchase Orders and Change Orders

A. In no event shall Contractor commence Work in the absence of a PO authorizing such Work; and in no event shall Contractor proceed with additional Work not covered by the original PO absent written authorization from Company pursuant to Section 23 of the Agreement. Such written authorization must describe the additional Work and the amount and terms of the compensation to be earned by Contractor for the additional Work.

B. Notwithstanding Section II.A of this Exhibit D, a change order (“Change Order”) will be issued by Company for additional Work pursuant to an agreed change request (“Change Request”), but is not required for the Work to proceed if Company has provided written authorization to Contractor in another form (e.g., email). The purpose of the Change Order is to formally change the amount and scope of the applicable PO, pursuant to the Change Request, to allow for the payment of invoices for the additional Work.

The Change Request, which will be substantially in the form of Exhibit K, must describe the additional Work and the change in the PO amount consistent with any prior written authorization, and must be signed by Authorized Representatives of both parties. A Change Order can change the amount and scope of one and only one PO. Multiple Change Orders may be issued for each PO during the Term.

In the event that the additional Work proceeds under written authorization (e.g., email) prior to the creation and approval of a Change Request, then as soon as possible after the written authorization is received by Contractor, and prior to Contractor’s submitting a Reconciliation Invoice for the applicable Work, a complete Change Request form, consistent with the written authorization, must be created and signed by an Authorized Representative of the Contractor. Approval of such Change Request and issuance of the Change Order will not be unreasonably withheld by Company.

C. In addition, (i) for Contractor to begin Site acquisition Work for any Site, Company must have issued a Site Acquisition Notice to Proceed for such Site and (ii) for Contractor to begin construction Work for any Site, Company must have issued a Notice to Proceed with Construction.

There are four types of POs contemplated under this Agreement each of which may require revisions via the Change Order process during the course of the Work:

Exhibit E Service Level Agreement      


Execution Copy

 

PO Type

  

Description

Milestone 1 (SCIP Package Submission) and 2 (Primary Candidate Identification)   

Issued for each Market. One PO is issued per Market. This is not a Site-specific PO.

 

Covers all Work to be performed for Milestones 1 and 2 only in a Market.

 

The PO amount will be based on an estimate for the compensation for performing Milestone 1 and 2 Work for all Rings being issued in the Market.

Site Acquisition and Construction   

Issued for each Site after Primary Candidate Identification and prior to Site Acquisition NTP.

 

Covers all Work and Materials (and associated Base Cell Site Unit Prices, Pass-Through Costs, Company Taxes, Mark-ups, and MSF) for a Site from Site Acquisition NTP to Construction Complete.

 

The PO amount will be based on Base Cell Site Unit Prices for the Site type and Market for the Site, as well as standard assumptions for Materials, Pass-Through Costs, Mark-ups, MSF, and other items per Exhibit F.

 

Materials for construction of a Site are to be ordered only after Company issues a Notice to Proceed with Construction for the Site and as close as possible to the actual time of need for construction. However, Materials may be ordered prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed with Construction, subject to written authorization by Company.

 

As the costs estimates are further refined at the end of the Site Acquisition process, this PO may be revised through the Change Order process, if required to ensure that the PO contains enough funds to cover Contractor charges through the Construction Complete Milestone. This PO must contain the Site ID.

PMO   

Issued or revised quarterly for PMO Work for the ensuing three months.

SERVICE

LEVEL AGREEMENT


Execution Copy

 

EXHIBIT E

 

1. Introduction

During the Term, Contractor shall regularly measure its performance in satisfying each service level (each sometimes referred to herein as a “Service Level” or “SLA”) set forth in this Exhibit E.

 

2. SLA Measurement

For each Market, at the end of each three (3) month period during the Term (each referred to herein as a “Measurement Period”), Contractor shall report to Company the results of its performance for each Service Metric set forth below against the corresponding Service Levels. Contractor must record any exceptions to a Service Level granted by Company and the version of the Throughput Model on which Contractor has based its Service Level calculation in, without limitation, the Service Level Tracking and Reporting instruments set forth in this Exhibit E.

Such reporting shall be in the form of the reports set forth in this Exhibit E. For purposes of this SLA, the first Measurement Period begins on the first day of Month 1. Month 1 begins December 1, 2007.

If Contractor fails to satisfy any Service Level two (2) or more consecutive times, such failure shall be deemed either an Event of Release from Exclusivity or an Event of Termination for Good Cause, depending on which Service Level as detailed in Section 3 of this Exhibit. In an Event of Release from Exclusivity, Company may use other contractors to perform the services covered by the relevant SLA in the Market where the failure occurred. In the event of Termination for Good Cause, Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate, immediately upon written notice to Contractor, all or a portion of the Work under this Agreement, without any penalty, as follows: (1) if the relevant SLA is either SLA Numbers 1, 2 or 3 as described in this Exhibit, Company may terminate all or a portion of the work from Ring Release to Site Acquisition Complete Milestone; or (2) if the relevant SLA is SLA Number 4 as described in this Exhibit, Company may terminate all or a portion of the Work from Construction Notice to Proceed to Site Acceptance. Underperformance in any Market and better than expected performance in any Market shall be netted in determining the basis of Termination for Good Cause such that, as measured as a whole for the Measurement Period, if the SLA has been satisfied no basis for Termination for Good Cause shall exist even if an Event of Release from Exclusivity has occurred in a Market entitling Company to utilize other contractors in that Market. Netting of performance shall be calculated by dividing actual performance for the service being measured across all Markets by targeted performance across all Markets, as set forth in the Throughput Model, for each Measurement Period. In any event of Termination for Good Cause, the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be $[***] for each missed SLA upon which the Termination for Good Cause is based, up to a maximum of $[***].

If Contractor fails to satisfy any Service Level for any given Measurement Period, Contractor shall develop a work plan that (1) details the ways in which Contractor will remedy performance deficiencies and avoid repeat failures, (2) specifies a proposed course of action to make up for its underperformance in the applicable Measurement Period, and (3) provides a new proposed Throughput Model to reflect the impact of the Service Level failure in the affected Measurement Period on downstream Milestone targets in the Throughput Model. Contractor shall provide such plan within seven (7) days after the end of the affected Measurement Period. All changes to the Throughput Model shall be subject to Company’s prior written approval, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Company’s Site Management System (SMS) will be the system of record for recording the start and stop times for all Milestones.

 

3. Service Levels

The following tables define the metrics and Service Levels which will be used to measure Contractor performance.

Service Level

  

Qualifications

SLA 1. Total Number of SCIP Submission Milestones reached by Contractor

 

A metric targeting the timeliness of Contractor performance relative to providing to Company complete SCIPs. For purposes of this metric, completion of the SCIP Submission Milestone is defined as Contractor’s submittal to Company of the completed SCIPs as set forth in Section 3.3.1 of Exhibit C to the Agreement.

  

Contractor will guarantee that, by the end of each Measurement Period, at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total number of SCIP Submission Milestones required during such Measurement Period are reached, as set forth in the then current Throughput Model (the “Throughput Model”) under “Search Ring SCIP Submission Milestone.”

 

If less than [***] percent ([***]%) of SCIP Submission Milestones are reached in each of two consecutive quarters, then an Event of Release from Exclusivity shall be deemed to have occurred.

 

If less than [***] percent ([***]%) of SCIP Milestones are reached in each of two consecutive quarters, then an Event of Termination for Good Cause shall be deemed to have occurred.

  

If a Ring contains a Site which Contractor believes is likely to be a primary candidate, yet confirmation of the Site’s availability and suitability will be materially delayed, AND such delay results in a material change to the Throughput Model then, subject to Company’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and after written request from Contractor, the Ring will be designated as a “Difficult Ring” and will not be counted toward this SLA calculation.

 

Events resulting in a Difficult Ring may include, as applicable, unusual jurisdictional or landlord related issues, the occurrence of events set forth in Section 23 of the Agreement or changes in the assumptions set forth in Section 4 below to this Exhibit E.

 

Following written request from Contractor to designate a Ring as a “Difficult Ring”, Company will either (a) accept a reduced Service Level for the Measurement Period in which the Difficult Ring has been identified, (b) request Contractor to revise the Throughput Model solely to reflect reasonably required adjustments for the affected Measurement Period(s) and then measure Contractor’s performance based on the revised Throughput Model, or (c) both of the activities in clause (a) and (b). All such revisions shall be subject to Company’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SLA 2. Turnaround Time for Primary Site Candidate Scoring and Recommendations.

 

A metric targeting the timeliness of Contractor performance relative to recommending to Company, based on ranking and scoring process, a suitable candidate for a wireless facility that meets all necessary threshold requirements for the construction of a Site, including requirements pertaining to RF criteria, availability for backhaul, and factors related to leasing, zoning, and construction (cost and time). For purposes of this metric, completion of Primary Site Candidate Scoring and Recommendations is defined as Contractor’s submittal to Company of the ranking documentation set forth in Section 3.3.2 of Exhibit C to the Agreement.

  

Contractor guarantees that at least [***] percent ([***]%) of Primary Site Candidate Scoring and Recommendations in any Measurement Period will be completed within eight (8) Business Days of submission of the required number of SCIPs for each Search Ring (e.g., if three SCIPS are required for a Ring, the eight (8) Business Days will commence when the third SCIP is uploaded into Company’s SMS; if two SCIPs are required, the eight (8) Business Day period will commence when the second SCIP is uploaded). The end of the eight day period for any Ring will be recorded when the scoring and recommendation form is uploaded into SMS.

 

In the event that this [***] percent ([***]%) SLA is not reached in any two consecutive quarters, an Event of Release from Exclusivity shall have occurred.

 

In the event that less than [***] percent ([***]%) of Primary Candidate Scoring and Recommendations are not performed within eight (8) Business Days in any two consecutive Measurement Periods, then an Event of Termination for Good Cause shall be deemed to have occurred.

  

Where Contractor can show that a Network Vendor did not complete its scoring properly on time and such delay caused Contractor’s Primary Candidate Scoring and Recommendation to be delayed beyond eight (8) Business Days, then that Ring/Site shall not be counted as a miss against this SLA.

 

Additional events that may result in adjustment to the timing may include, as applicable, the occurrence of events set forth in Section 23 of the Agreement or changes in the assumptions set forth in Section 4 below to this Exhibit E.

SLA 3. Total Number of Sites for which Contractor has reached Site Acquisition Complete Milestone

 

A metric targeting the timeliness of Contractor performance relative to the execution and completion of all Site acquisition activities for a particular Site. For purposes of this metric, completion of Site Acquisition is defined as Contractor’s submittal to Company of the documentation applicable to the Site Acquisition Complete Milestone as set forth in Sections 3.5 through 13 of Exhibit C to the Agreement.

  

Contractor guarantees that, by the end of each Measurement Period, at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total number of Site Acquisition Milestones, as defined herein, required during such Measurement Period will be reached, as set forth in the then current Throughput Model under “Site Acq. Complete”.

 

In the event that less than [***] percent ([***]%) of Site Acquisition Milestones are reached in each of any two consecutive measurement periods, an Event of Release from shall be deemed to have occurred.

 

In the event that less than [***] percent ([***]%) of Site Acquisition Milestones are reached in any two consecutive measurement periods, an Event of Termination for Good Cause shall be deemed to have occurred.

  

The Parties agree that following Company’s issuance of a Notice to Proceed with Site Acquisition, certain Sites may be deemed to be “Difficult to Acquire.” The criteria for designating a Site as “Difficult To Acquire” is a Site that is difficult to acquire due to circumstances beyond Contractor or Company reasonable control (e.g., where governmental approvals are expected but are delayed, or zoning approvals are delayed) that were not otherwise earlier ascertainable in Contractor’s Site selection process. Additional events that may, as applicable, result in a Site as Difficult To Acquire may include unusual jurisdictional or landlord related issues, the occurrence of events set forth in Section 23 of the Agreement or changes in the assumptions set forth in Section 4 below to this Exhibit E.

 

Contractor must provide to Company written notice of Sites it deems as “Difficult To Acquire” within a reasonable amount of time after identifying potential problems and delays, along with a detailed explanation of the foregoing.

 

Following such notice, Company will either (a) accept a reduced Service Level for the Measurement Period in which the Difficult To Acquire Site has been identified, (b) request Contractor to revise the Throughput Model solely to reflect reasonably required adjustments for the affected Measurement Period(s) and then measure Contractor’s performance based on the revised Throughput Model, or (c) both of the activities in clause (a) and (b). All such revisions shall be subject to Company’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SLA 4. Total Number of Sites for which Contractor has completed the Ready to Set Equipment Milestone

 

A metric targeting the timeliness of Contractor performance relative to the execution and completion of all construction activities for a particular Site. For purposes of this metric, completion of Ready to Set Equipment Milestone is defined as Contractor’s fulfillment of all Ready to Set requirements as set forth in Section 15.1 of Exhibit C to the Agreement.

  

Contractor guarantees that, by the end of each Measurement Period, at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total number of Ready to Set Equipment. Milestones required during such Measurement Period are reached.

 

In the event that less than [***] percent ([***]%) of targeted Ready to Set Equipment Milestones are reached in any two consecutive quarters, an event of Release from Exclusivity shall be deemed to have occurred.

 

In the event that less than [***] percent ([***]%) of targeted Ready to Set Equipment Milestones are reached in any two consecutive quarters, and event of Termination for Good Cause shall be deemed to have occurred.

   Events resulting in an adjustment to the Ready to Set Equipment Milestones may include but are not limited to, as applicable, jurisdictional or landlord issues, or public utility delays, or the occurrence of events set forth in Section 23 of the Agreement, or changes in the assumptions set forth in Section 4 below to this Exhibit E.

 

4. Assumptions

During the Term, the factors set forth below shall form the basis for the Throughput Model. To the extent the factors materially change, the Throughput Model shall be adjusted subject to written approval by Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. To effect a change to the Throughput Model, Contractor shall submit a written request to Company stating the reason for the change along with supporting documentation and a draft of the new Throughput Model that would result from the change. Company will review the request and either approve or deny the request for the change in writing. To the extent that the change requires any changes in PO amounts, a change request must be initiated by Contractor in accordance to Section 23 of the Agreement.

Factors that may form the basis of changes to the Throughput Model and the Rolling Cash Flow Projection are:

 

   

Timing of the issuance of Search Rings and additional Search Rings beyond the Search Rings assumed in the initial Throughput Model

 

   

Site type ratios

 

   

More than 10 percent of Search Rings redesigned due to reasons other than Contractor’s deficient performance

 

   

Completion by Company and Network Vendor of respective areas of responsibility within the timeframes necessary to support the Throughput Model, particularly SCIP ranking, RF and Backhaul Configuration Sheets, Site Acquisition NTP, Construction NTP, and PO Issuance

 

   

Force Majeure events/Excusable Delay

 

   

Changes in build schedules and plans on the part of Company

RECIPROCAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

This Reciprocal Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Non-Disclosure Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2007 (“Effective Date”), is entered into by and between TerreStar Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation, having offices at 12010 Sunset Hills Road, Ninth Floor, Reston, Virginia 20190, and Bechtel Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 5275 Westview Drive, Fredrick, Maryland, referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as “the Parties.”

WHEREAS, in the course of doing business together, whether pursuant to another written agreement or otherwise, the Parties may from time to time require access to one another’s Confidential Information (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, the Parties will allow such access only if their Confidential Information is protected pursuant to the terms of this Non-Disclosure Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions:

(a) “Confidential Information” means all non-public or proprietary information, of any nature and in any form, whether written, oral, or recorded or transmitted electronically or by tape or other similar manner, regarding the business, operations, prospects, plans or affairs of the Furnishing Party, as defined in paragraph (c) of this section 1, or of a third party (including but not limited to the Furnishing Party’s parent and subsidiaries), which is furnished by the Furnishing Party to the Receiving Party, as defined in paragraph (d) of this section 1, or becomes known to the Receiving Party as a consequence of its relationship or access to the Furnishing Party, which information is designated by the Furnishing Party as confidential or which should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary in nature with respect to the Furnishing Party or a third party.

(b) Confidential Information shall not include information or data which is—

(1) Already known to or otherwise in the possession of the Receiving Party without any confidentiality obligation at the time of receipt from the Furnishing Party; or

(2) Publicly available, or otherwise in the public domain, without violation of any confidentiality obligation, prior to disclosure by the Furnishing Party; or

(3) Rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from any third party without restriction and without breach of any confidentiality obligation by either the Receiving Party or such third party; or

(4) Developed by or for the Receiving Party independent of any disclosure hereunder, as evidenced by written records.

(d) The “Receiving Party” means the Party who receives Confidential Information from the Furnishing Party.

2. Confidentiality:

(a) For a period of three (3) years from the date of disclosure (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law), all Confidential Information shall be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party, which shall use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, in handling and safeguarding Confidential Information that it uses in handling and safeguarding its own confidential information. Except as provided in this Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Receiving Party shall not use, or disclose in any manner to any third party, Confidential Information without the prior express written consent of the Furnishing Party.

(b) Access to and use of Confidential Information shall be restricted to those employees and persons within the Receiving Party’s organization, including consultants, advisors and other agents, who (1) have a need to use the information to fulfill the purpose of this Non-Disclosure Agreement or the agreement, if any, in connection with which the Parties have entered into this Non-Disclosure Agreement and (2) are subject to a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement no less stringent than this Non-Disclosure Agreement. The Receiving Party shall inform such persons of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall provide the Furnishing Party upon request with copies of the non-disclosure agreements entered into by the Receiving Party’s employees and/or consultants.

Execution Copy

 

  (ii) A scheduled visit is cancelled or postponed by Contractor less than 72 hours before the scheduled visit and the Network Vendor charges Company for the Failed Site Visit. The Failed Site Visit Charge is subject to the $[***] per Site cap.

3.2 RF Design Standby Charge

This charge (the “RF Design Standby Fee”) is as follows. If the actual number of SCIP Submittal Milestones in any given month is less than [***]% of target, as set forth in the Throughput Model, a Network Vendor Charge not to exceed $[***] per Site reflecting an RF Design Standby Charge will be charged; provided that the Network Vendor charges Company. This charge will be calculated by subtracting the actual number of SCIP Submittal Milestones reached during the month from the target number of SCIP Submittal Milestones and multiplying by $[***]. If the actual number of SCIP Submittal Milestones is less than [***]% of target, then the dollar amount per missed Site shall not exceed $[***] reflecting an RF Design Standby Charge; provided that the Network Vendor charges Company. If the actual number of SCIP Submittal Milestones is below [***]%, then the dollar amount per missed Site shall not exceed $[***] reflecting an RF Design Standby Charge; provided that the Network Vendor charges Company. As an example, if the actual number of SCIP Submittal Milestones for the applicable month is [***]% and that equates to [***] ([***]) Sites below the [***]% threshold, Contractor would pay Company an amount not to exceed $[***].

Measurement of the RF Design Standby Charge will take place on a monthly basis.

All Network Vendor Charges will be set off against amounts owed to Contractor on a quarterly basis.

For purposes of calculating total Network Vendor Charges per Site so that the $[***] is not exceeded, each RF Design Standby Fee (e.g., $[***], $[***], or $[***]) will be assigned to a unique Ring/Site Identification Number, using the Company Site and Ring ID numbering convention.
