ARTICLE 13 – ORBITAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES

 

13.1 General

In addition to the Firm Fixed Price, as set forth in Article 4.1, Contractor shall have the opportunity to earn, and Purchaser shall pay to the extent earned, the Orbital Performance Incentives for the Satellite in amounts as set forth in Exhibit F, TerreStar Satellite Orbital Performance Incentives Payment Plan, all in accordance with this Article 13. Orbital Performance Incentives are comprised of two types: (i) the Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives (based on the initial quarter commencing at Acceptance), further described in Article 13.2.1, and (ii) the Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive, payable in two (2) payments as further described in Article 13.2.2. Both types of Orbital Performance Incentives are payable on the dates determined in accordance with Article 13.3. All measurements, computations and analyses made pursuant to this Article 13 shall be made in accordance with good engineering practice applying standards generally applicable in the aerospace industry.

 

13.2 Earning Orbital Performance Incentives

 

  13.2.1 Daily Rate of Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives. Subject to Article 13.2.7, for the Satellite Accepted pursuant to Article 10.2 hereof, Contractor shall earn Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives over the Orbital Performance Incentive Period at the daily rate based on the formula below (the “Daily Rate”), plus interest as provided in Article 13.3.

 

Daily Rate  =   Quarterly OPI Amount   x  Percentage of Performance Earned
  No. of Days in Quarter  

The “Quarterly OPI Amount” is set forth in Exhibit F under the column titled “Quarterly Incentive Payment,” and the Percentage of Performance Earned shall be the smaller of the following ratios: (i) (the number of operational Forward Transmission Paths) ÷ 64 and (ii) (the number of operational Return Transmission Paths) ÷ 160 where the number of operational Transmission Paths is defined in Article 13.2.3; provided, however, the Daily Rate of Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives shall not be paid if the Percentage of Performance

 

- 41 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


Earned, as calculated above, is less than seventy-two and one-half percent (72.5%). The Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentive amount to be paid is illustrated in Exhibit F under the column titled “Quarterly Incentive Payment” for the Satellite assuming that the Percentage of Performance Earned equals one hundred percent (100%). The first day of the applicable Orbital Performance Incentive Period shall be deemed to commence at 12:01 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on the first day after Acceptance of the Satellite.

 

  13.2.2 Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentives. Purchaser shall, promptly after receipt of the Summary In-Orbit Test Report, assess the condition of the Satellite based on the Summary In-Orbit Test Report and early operations experience to determine whether, and to the extent that, Contractor has earned the Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive. Subject to Article 13.2.7, Contractor shall have earned the Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive (or portion thereof as set forth below) as of the date that is ninety (90) days after Launch (or thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of the Summary In-Orbit Test Report, whichever occurs later) (the “Scheduled OPI Commencement Date”) according to the following formula:

 

Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive amount earned =
Scheduled OPI Amount × Percentage of Performance Earned ×
Percentage of Satellite Stated Life

where the “Scheduled OPI Amount” is identified in Exhibit F under the column titled “Scheduled Orbital Performance Payments,” “Percentage of Performance Earned” is calculated in accordance with Articles 13.2.1 and 13.2.3, and the “Percentage of Satellite Stated Life” is the smaller of one hundred percent (100%) of the Satellite Stated Life or the actual predicted Satellite life divided by fifteen (15) years; provided, however, that the Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive shall not be paid if the Percentage of Performance Earned multiplied by the Percentage of Satellite Stated Life as calculated above is less than ninety percent (90%).

  13.2.3 Basis of Measuring Satellite In-Orbit Performance. “Transmission Paths” consist of two types of transmission paths on the Satellite. The “Forward Transmission Paths” are individually those sets of equipment within the communications subsystem of the Satellite that provide a discrete path to receive communications signals from Earth at Ku band, translate and amplify such signals through a hybrid matrix and transmit them to Earth at S band. The “Return Transmission Paths” are individually those sets of equipment within the communications subsystem of the Satellite that provide a discrete path to receive communications signals from Earth at S-band (the service link), translate and amplify such signals and transmit them to Earth at Ku-band (the feeder link). The total number of Transmission Paths on the Satellite is 224 (64 Forward and 160 Return Transmission Paths). A Transmission Path shall be deemed “operational” if the Satellite can provide full performance as required in Exhibit B, Satellite Performance Specification through such Transmission Path, after measurement and analysis uncertainty has been taken into consideration. Specific test methods and precise criteria for “operational” shall be mutually agreed by the Parties, applying reasonable engineering judgment and criteria, on or before Satellite Technical Review Meeting 3.

For the purpose of determining an operational Forward Transmission Path only, the N×N hybrids shall be viewed as individually connecting N separate inputs to N separate outputs. For example, the failure on one input path into an 8×8 hybrid shall be considered the failure of only one Forward Transmission Path.

 

  13.2.4 On-Board Redundancy; Spares. In determining Orbital Performance Incentives, on-board redundancy and/or spare components shall be taken into consideration to maintain service on the Satellite, and such use shall be deemed normal operating procedure for purposes of this Article 13 so long as the applicable criteria for earning Orbital Performance Incentives are met by the Satellite.

  13.2.5 Storage

 

  A. Orbital Storage. If Purchaser places the Satellite in Orbital Storage (other than due to the inability to operate for causes attributable to Contractor), Contractor shall earn the Orbital Performance Incentives at the same rate as Contractor would be earning such incentives if the Satellite were in service.

 

  B. On-Ground Storage. If after Satellite Pre-Shipment Review of the Satellite, Purchaser places the Satellite in on-ground storage, Contractor shall not be entitled to any Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentives or any Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives during the initial nine (9) months of such on-ground storage. If Purchaser places the Satellite in on-ground storage (other than due to causes substantially attributable to Contractor and to the extent not otherwise excused under Articles 17 or 18; for clarification, Contractor shall not be liable hereunder for any delay in delivery of the SBAS Operational Component (as defined in the SBN/SBAS Contract)) for more than nine (9) months, Contractor shall be paid the Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive and the Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives at the same rate as Contractor would be earning such incentives if the Satellite were in service, commencing at the end of such nine (9) month period (with the initial Scheduled Orbital Performance Incentive payment to be made at the end of month ten (10) and the initial Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives payment to be made at the end of month twelve (12)); provided, however, such amounts shall be subject to a refund as described below. During each month of the initial nine (9) month storage period, unless Purchaser’s placement of the Satellite in storage is due to causes substantially attributable to Contractor and not otherwise excused under Articles 17 or 18; for clarification, Contractor shall not be liable hereunder for any delay in the delivery of the SBAS Operational Component), in addition to other customary storage charges to be agreed, Purchaser shall pay Contractor the non-refundable sum of [***]

 

- 44 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


[***] U.S. Dollars (US$[***]) per month of storage, representing interest on the unpaid Orbital Performance Incentives. Once the Satellite is taken out of on-ground storage, (i) Purchaser’s obligation to pay interest pursuant to this Article 13.2.5.B shall terminate, and (ii) Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any Orbital Performance Incentives, unless or until (i) the Satellite is subsequently placed into on-ground storage (other than due to causes substantially attributable to Contractor), in which case this clause shall apply as if the Satellite had remained in storage and/or (ii) Contractor has earned such Orbital Performance Incentives following the actual Acceptance of the Satellite. If the Satellite is Launched after Purchaser has paid any Orbital Performance Incentives under this Article 13.2.5.B, such amounts shall be deemed a pre-payment of the corresponding Orbital Performance Incentives due after actual Acceptance in accordance with Article 10.2. To the extent that, after actual Acceptance, Contractor does not earn the Orbital Performance Incentives pre-paid by Purchaser under this Article 13.2.5.B, Contractor shall refund all or a portion of the pre-paid Orbital Performance Incentives, as applicable, plus interest on such refund, calculated at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded annually, from the time such corresponding Orbital Performance Incentives were pre-paid by Purchaser. Contractor shall pay such refund and interest on the earliest date upon which the invoices for such Orbital Performance Incentive would have been issued.

 

  13.2.6 Temporary Outages. A Transmission Path shall not be considered non-operational during a day if it is not operational during such day less than two (2) minutes per day for such Transmission Path. Contractor shall forfeit the Daily Rate of Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives for any Transmission Path that is not operational for a period of two (2) minutes or more; provided that such outage is not attributable to the operation, directly or indirectly, of the Satellite by Purchaser.

  13.2.7 Total Loss of the Satellite. Without limiting the provisions of this Article 13, and subject to Article 13.2.8, Contractor shall not be entitled to unearned Orbital Performance Incentives for the Satellite from and after the occurrence of a Total Loss of the Satellite; provided that any Orbital Performance Incentives paid under Article 13.2.5.B shall not be considered “earned” (until actually earned after Acceptance), and shall be refunded to Purchaser in the event of a Total Loss.

 

  13.2.8

Losses Attributable to Purchaser. If, as a result of any act or omission on the part of Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives, consultants or subcontractors (including the Launch Agency, but excluding Contractor and any of its subcontractors at any tier) in the Launch, orbit-raising, operation of, testing of, or communication with, the Satellite, or if due solely to causes not attributable to Contractor or its subcontractors (other than extraordinary events customarily listed as “Exclusions” under launch and in-orbit insurance policies), the Satellite operates in a manner that is not in accordance with any requirements for earning Orbital Performance Incentives (including the Satellite being a Total Loss), Contractor shall earn or continue to earn Orbital Performance Incentives with respect to the Satellite at the rate that applied (or would have applied) prior to the act or omission resulting in degraded performance or Total Loss (subject to later adjustments pursuant to Articles 13.2.6 and 13.2.7, with respect to failures to meet the requirements for earning Orbital Performance Incentives, not resulting from any such act or omission). In the event of a Total Loss attributable to Purchaser or its representatives, consultants or subcontractors (including the Launch Agency), or due solely to causes not attributable to Contractor or its subcontractors as provided above, occurring in connection with an Acceptance based on an Acceptance in accordance with Article 10.2(ii), so long as this Contract has not been terminated (and continuing so long as TerreStar orders a replacement Satellite), the Orbital Performance Incentives shall be paid at the same rate as Contractor would be earning such incentives if the Satellite were in service. If this Contract is terminated for other than Contractor’s default, or TerreStar 2 is a Total Loss and TerreStar does not order a replacement satellite therefor, Contractor shall be deemed to have earned the corresponding amount

of Orbital Performance Incentives, to be paid promptly upon the later of (i) Purchaser’s receipt of the proceeds from Launch and in-orbit insurance or (ii) such termination or determination of a Total Loss of TerreStar 2 where no replacement is ordered.

 

  13.2.9 Access to In-Orbit Data and Measurements. During the life of the Satellite, Contractor shall have access to the data records of the Satellite.

 

  13.2.10 Incentive for Extended Life of the Satellite. Should Purchaser elect to continue the use of the Satellite operating beyond its Satellite Stated Life, Purchaser shall pay to Contractor the amount of the Daily Rate for each day during such period(s) of continued use by Purchaser, provided the Satellite is not a Total Loss.

 

  13.2.11 Orbital Performance Incentive Payment Assurance. Within one (1) month prior to SPSR, unless Purchaser or any company that Controls Purchaser (“Purchaser Parent Company”) is filing periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Purchaser shall provide Contractor with a consolidated balance sheet of Purchaser and Purchaser Parent Company, as of the end of the prior fiscal year, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for such fiscal year. Such information shall be considered “Proprietary Information” of Purchaser and shall be subject to Article 31. In the event that such information indicates that payment of the Orbital Performance Incentives in accordance with Article 13 is at high risk due to Purchaser’s and Purchaser Parent Company’s financial condition, then the Parties shall promptly meet to negotiate, in good faith, commercially reasonable steps to reduce such risk and provide reasonable assurance that Purchaser will be able to pay the Orbital Performance Incentives when they become due.

 

13.3 Payment and Interest

 

  13.3.1

Payment of Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentives. Quarterly Orbital Performance Incentive amounts due Contractor pursuant to Article 13.2.1 shall be invoiced on a Quarterly basis in arrears in an amount equal to the sum of the

  A. Order work in addition to the Work provided for herein; or

 

  B. Modify the whole or any part of the Work provided for herein; or

 

  C. Direct stop Work, by one or more orders, up to an aggregate of eighteen (18) months; provided, however, to the extent Purchaser issues a stop Work order on or after Milestone 24 (Complete Thermal Vacuum Testing) of Exhibit E, TerreStar 2 Payment Plan and Termination Liability Amount, directing Contractor to stop Work on the Satellite, such stop Work will not exceed cumulative twelve (12) months (or the balance of 18 months, whichever is less).

 

  16.1.2

Response to Change Request. Contractor shall respond to any such requested change in writing to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of such requested change; provided, however, in the case of a stop Work direction, Contractor shall stop Work immediately to the extent specified by Purchaser. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require its subcontractors with Major Subcontracts to agree to a stop Work provision that minimizes Contractor’s costs and is consistent with the terms of this Article 16.1.2. In the event of a stop Work, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate costs and shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in connection with actions taken by Contractor with respect to its subcontractors. If such change request causes an increase or decrease in the cost or the time required for completion of the Work to be provided herein, or otherwise affects any other provision of this Contract, such response shall provide a non-binding preliminary estimate of the impact of the change request on the Firm Fixed Price (including costs associated with processing of the change request), Delivery schedules and other provisions of this Contract. Any proposed increase to the price or extension of the Delivery schedule shall not exceed the expected actual cost to

 

- 55 -

be incurred by Contractor, plus ten percent (10%) and the actual time required by Contractor to implement the change. Any price or Delivery schedule adjustment shall be reasonable and proposed in good faith. If Purchaser desires to proceed with the change after receipt of Contractor’s preliminary estimate, Purchaser and Contractor shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith and agree in a timely manner to equitable adjustments in the Firm Fixed Price, Delivery schedules and other affected provisions of this Contract, and this Contract shall be amended in writing accordingly in accordance with Article 37.5. In the event the Parties fail to agree on an adjustment (upward or downward) to the Firm Fixed Price, Delivery schedule or other affected provisions of this Contract with respect to a requested change, then Purchaser may direct Contractor to proceed with the requested change, Contractor shall proceed with the directed change, the Parties shall continue to negotiate the adjustments to the Contract, and pending completion of such negotiations and as a condition for Contractor being obligated to proceed with the directed change, the Parties in good faith shall agree upon and establish a reasonable payment schedule adjustment to compensate Contractor for the Work performed pursuant to the directed change, which payment schedule shall be adjusted as part of the negotiated settlement for the directed change.

 

  16.1.3

Tolling of Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser directs a stop Work, all payments due Contractor (except for payments due and payable prior to the date of the stop Work order) shall be tolled and shall not accrue for the duration of the stop Work order (up to the cumulative maximum period provided in Article 16.1.1 above), except that Contractor shall be entitled in the event of a termination under (ii) below to payment of actual direct costs incurred as a result of the stop Work order (e.g., reasonable termination liabilities with subcontractors and suppliers but not overhead or G&A costs). In the event Purchaser directs a stop Work, within twelve (12) or eighteen (18) months thereafter, as the case may be (or within such portion of the maximum stop Work period remaining as provided in Article 16.1.1), Purchaser shall either: (i) direct Contractor to resume Work hereunder, and the schedule and affected terms of this Contract shall be equitably adjusted due to such Work stoppage and

 

- 56 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


 

the price shall be equitably adjusted to compensate Contractor for actual costs reasonably incurred by Contractor associated with such Work stoppage plus a markup of ten percent (10%), such costs and markup to be invoiced and paid pursuant to Article 5 or (ii) terminate this Contract for convenience pursuant to Article 21. In addition, if Purchaser issues a stop Work order after thermal vacuum testing for the Satellite and subsequently re-starts the program as provided herein, Purchaser shall, until Work has resumed, pay Contractor interest on a pro rata share of the Orbital Performance Incentives on a quarterly basis, calculated as follows: 0.67% per month of Work stoppage multiplied by the pro rata Orbital Performance Incentives calculated as of the date of the stop Work order in accordance with Article 13.4. In the event Purchaser fails to elect either (i) or (ii) above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Contract for convenience under Article 21. For Purposes of Article 21, Purchaser’s termination liability (as may be adjusted pursuant to the foregoing) will be based on the effective date of the stop Work order being deemed the date upon which Contractor was given written notice of Termination for purposes of Article 21.1.1.

Satellite after successful completion of SPSR of the Satellite. Purchaser’s sole remedy with respect to delays in Delivery shall be as specified in Article 22 and this Article 23.1. Purchaser’s sole right to terminate this Contract for Contractor’s default shall be as specified in this Article 23.1.

 

  23.1.5 Disposition of the Work. Unless and to the extent that Purchaser retains Deliverable Items or portions thereof pursuant to Article 23.1.3 hereof, upon payment in full of all amounts due in accordance with Article 23.1.2, any Security Interest or other right or interest that Purchaser has in such items (except with respect to Deliverable Items retained by Purchaser pursuant to Article 23.1.3) hereunder or otherwise shall be released and extinguished and Purchaser shall take all action reasonably requested by Contractor to terminate any document or instrument filed of record (including without limitation UCC financing statements) to perfect any such Security Interest.

 

  23.1.6 Invalid Default Termination. If, after termination pursuant to this Article 23.1, it is finally determined pursuant to Article 25 or written agreement of Purchaser that Contractor was not in default under Article 23.1.1, or that the default was excusable under Articles 17 or 18, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if the termination had occurred under Article 21; except that Contractor shall also be entitled to recover its additional actual costs reasonably incurred due to such invalid default termination plus a markup of ten percent (10%) of such costs.

 

23.2 Contractor Right of Termination

 

  23.2.1

Right to Terminate. Contractor may terminate this Contract only upon written notice to Purchaser if Purchaser fails to cure any default in the payment of any amount that has become due and payable hereunder within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such default (or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by Contractor), subject to Purchaser’s right to issue a stop Work in accordance with Section 16.1. Purchaser’s issuance of a stop Work shall have the effect of extending the cure period set forth herein during the term of the Stop Work. Notwithstanding Article 23.2, Purchaser will not be considered in default

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


 

with respect to any amount that it is disputing in good faith pursuant to Article 5.6 (and that has been deposited in an escrow account pursuant to such Article) and will have thirty (30) Business Days after the final resolution (by agreement or arbitration) of such dispute to satisfy any payment required by such resolution. Contractor may not terminate this Contract under any circumstance, including for Purchaser’s breach of any obligation, except as set forth in this Article 23.1.

 

  23.2.2 Termination Liability. In the event of termination pursuant to this Article 23.2, Contractor shall be paid as if such termination were for convenience pursuant to Article 21. Further, if Purchaser’s failure to perform is a failure to pay Contractor invoiced amounts when due, Contractor shall be entitled to late payment interest pursuant to Article 5.3. Payment of any amount by any Financing Entity on behalf of Purchaser shall relieve Purchaser from its obligation to make such payment in the corresponding amount. Payment of the total amounts (termination for convenience amounts plus interest on outstanding invoices) payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 23.2.2 shall constitute a total discharge of Purchaser’s liabilities to Contractor for termination pursuant to this Article 23.2.

 

  23.2.3

Disposition of the Work. Contractor may elect immediately upon termination to take over all Deliverable Items and Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods and use or dispose of the same in any manner Contractor may elect, and any Security Interest or other right or interest that Purchaser has in such items hereunder or otherwise shall be released and extinguished and Purchaser shall take all action reasonably requested by Contractor to terminate any document or instrument filed of record (including without limitation UCC financing statements) to perfect any such Security Interest. In such case, the fair market value of any Deliverable Items or Deliverable Items, Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods used or disposed of by Contractor shall be set-off against Purchaser’s termination liability under Article 23.2.2. Upon completion of all payments to Contractor in accordance with Article 23.2.2, Purchaser may require Contractor to transfer title and risk of loss to Purchaser to such Deliverable Items, Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods. In lieu of taking immediate

possession of Deliverable Items, Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods as provided in the preceding sentence, upon direction of Purchaser, Contractor shall protect and preserve Deliverable Items, Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods at Purchaser’s expense and shall facilitate access to and possession by Purchaser to such Deliverable Items, Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods.

Alternatively, Purchaser may request Contractor to make a reasonable, good faith effort to sell such items and to remit any sales proceeds to Purchaser less a deduction for actual costs of disposition reasonably incurred by Contractor for such efforts, and, if not previously released and extinguished, any Security Interest or other right or interest that Purchaser has in such items hereunder or otherwise shall be released and extinguished and Purchaser shall take all action reasonably requested by Contractor to terminate any document or instrument filed of record (including without limitation UCC financing statements) to perfect any such Security Interest. Purchaser shall take all action reasonably requested by Contractor to terminate any document or instrument filed of record (including without limitation UCC financing statements) to perfect any such Security Interest.

 

  23.2.4 Invalid Default Termination. If, after termination pursuant to this Article 23.2, it is finally determined by arbitration pursuant to Article 25 or written agreement of Contractor that Purchaser was not in default under Article 23.2.1, Contractor shall be liable to Purchaser for direct damages resulting from such termination of this Contract (in no event exceeding amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Article 23.1, and subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Article 30).

reasonably certain that delay in Contractor’s performance of its obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure events under Article 17.3 will exceed one year. Upon the occurrence of any of these events, Purchaser will provide Contractor written notice of its intent to terminate and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if such termination had occurred under Article 23.1. Within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days after the occurrence of either (i) or (iii) above, Purchaser will notify Contractor as to its decision to either terminate this Contract or to waive its rights to terminate for such Force Majeure events.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any provision of this Article 25.2 modifies, adds to, or is inconsistent with any provision of such rules, the provisions of this Article 25.2 shall control. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Washington, DC by a panel of three (3) arbitrators who shall be selected within forty-five (45) days of commencement of the arbitration: one selected by each Party and the third selected by the arbitrators chosen by the Parties.

The Parties shall be permitted to take discovery, if and as needed, by deposition upon oral examination, requests for production of documents and things, and requests for entry upon land for inspection and other purposes, as those discovery methods are described and defined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided further that the Tribunal shall expand or limit discovery in accordance with paragraph (B) below.

 

  B.

The scope of permissible discovery shall generally be as described in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 26(b)(1), but the Parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to focus and limit their discovery in accordance with the nature of the Dispute and the need for expedited resolution. The arbitral tribunal may expand or limit the scope of

permissible discovery, establish the time period within which discovery responses must be served, and expand or limit the type and number of discovery methods and requests as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective. The tribunal may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets, and other similar information disclosed in discovery and may order that discovery not be had or that discovery may be had only on specific terms and conditions.

 

  25.2.3 Choice of Laws. In resolving any Dispute, the arbitrators shall apply the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of laws rules and shall take into account usages, customs and practices in the performance of contracts for the purchase and sale of commercial communications satellites.

If within ten (10) days after the service of the offer, the adverse Party serves written notice that it accepts the offer, either Party may file the offer and acceptance with the tribunal, which will thereupon promptly enter an award on the claim as provided in the offer. An offer not accepted shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not be admissible into evidence.

  25.2.7 Expedited Arbitration. Time is of the essence in the initiation and completion of the arbitration. The arbitral hearing shall be commenced and conducted expeditiously. Unless the arbitral tribunal orders otherwise, the Dispute should be submitted to the tribunal for decision within six (6) months after the commencement of the arbitration, and the final award shall be rendered within one (1) month thereafter. The Parties and the tribunal shall use their best reasonable efforts to comply with this schedule, and the tribunal may impose any remedy it deems just for any Party’s effort to unnecessarily delay, complicate, or hinder the proceedings.

 

  25.2.8 Final and Binding Decision. Any arbitration hereunder shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. The arbitrators’ decision shall be final and binding on the Parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

  25.2.9 Arbitration Award. The arbitral tribunal’s award may grant any remedy or relief the tribunal deems within the scope of this Contract, but may not make any award in any amount or on any theory of liability except as otherwise allowed or provided in this Contract.

Any monetary award made by the arbitrators shall be subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Article 30.

 

25.3 Litigation

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 25.1 and Article 25.2 above, if a Party makes a good faith determination that (i) a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other preliminary injunctive relief to enforce its rights or the other Party’s obligations under the provisions of this Contract and which is necessary or (ii) litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to creditors, either Party shall have the right to bring suit at any time, but requests for permanent injunctive relief shall be arbitrated pursuant to Article 25.2.

 

- 82 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


Any such suit shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Parties hereby waive any objection to that venue and that court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over the case; provided further that if, for any reason, such court does not have or refuses to exercise subject matter jurisdiction over the Dispute, then litigation as permitted herein may be brought in the Supreme Court for New York County. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by the state and federal courts in the State of New York concerning any Dispute between the Parties. If, for any reason, neither the state nor federal courts in New York will exercise jurisdiction over the Dispute, then litigation as permitted herein may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America.

Nothing in this Contract precludes a Party prevailing on any claim, whether in arbitration or litigation, from initiating litigation in any appropriate forum to enter or enforce a judgment based on the Tribunal’s or court’s award on that claim.

 

25.4 Continued Performance

Unless the Dispute involves a termination of the Contract under Articles 21 or 23 hereof: (i) pending final resolution of any Dispute, each Party shall, unless directed otherwise by the other Party in writing, perform all its obligations under this Contract to the extent undisputed and practical to do so, including the obligation to take all steps necessary during the pendency of the Dispute to ensure the Work will be performed within the time stipulated or within such extended time as may be allowed under this Contract; and (ii) failure to pay disputed amounts shall not excuse failure to so perform the Work, provided that Purchaser has complied with its obligations set forth in Article 5.6.

27.2 Step-In Payment Rights

Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any such Default, including by making any payment due thereunder. The Firm Fixed Price shall be reduced by the amount of the cost to cure such Default paid by Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence. Such reduction in the Firm Fixed Price shall be applied against and used to reduce the next payment due to Contractor under the Payment Plan (which shall be adjusted accordingly). No action on the part of Purchaser under this Section shall relieve Contractor from any obligations or responsibilities under this Contract or the Major Subcontract.

ARTICLE 38 – SECURITY INTEREST

 

38.1 Grant of Security Interest

As security for the performance by Contractor of the Secured Obligations the Contractor hereby grants to Purchaser, and pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, Purchaser shall have, a valid, binding, enforceable and perfected first priority lien on and security interest in (collectively, the “Security Interest”) all of Contractor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Contractor and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (collectively, the “Collateral”):

A. all Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods; and

B. all proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Security Interest shall not be subordinate or pari passu with any other lien or security interest or right of setoff or recoupment, and no lien or security interest or right of setoff or recoupment shall be permitted which shall be senior to or pari passu with the Security Interest. The grant of the Security Interest pursuant to this Article 38.1 is not in derogation of Purchaser’s rights as owner of any Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods as to which title has passed to Purchaser, and remains in Purchaser, as provided in this Contract. This Security Interest shall automatically terminate upon Intentional Ignition or shall be released and extinguished pursuant to Article 21.2, 23.1.2, 23.1.5 and 23.2.3.

 

38.2 Right to Make Filings

Should Purchaser, in its sole discretion (but not as a requirement hereunder), from time to time choose to file financing statements or other notices, instruments, agreement and documents or take other action to validate or perfect the Security Interest and in furtherance of the grant of the Security Interest pursuant to Article 38.1, Contractor shall, and does hereby irrevocably authorize on behalf of Contractor and as Contractor’s attorney-in-fact to give, execute, deliver, file, record, obtain, and authorize all financing statements and any other notices, instruments, agreements and documents, and take such other action as reasonably requested by Purchaser, to (i)

 

- 115 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


create, perfect, validate and preserve such Security Interest and the priority thereof and (ii) enable Purchaser to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such Security Interest (and all such documents and instruments shall be deemed to have been filed or recorded at the time and on the date of the entry of the Bankruptcy Order).

 

38.3 Corporate Records

In furtherance of the grant of the Security Interest pursuant to Article 38.1, Contractor shall indicate in Contractor’s corporate records the Security Interest that Purchaser has in the Collateral to the extent provided in this Article 38.

 

38.4 Perfected Security Interest

Contractor represents and warrants that the Security Interest granted to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest therein and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware will be a perfected security interest in those items that can be perfected by filing under the UCC subject to no other liens or security interests other than after-acquired Junior Liens (as defined below). Contractor acknowledges that Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Contract provides value to Contractor.

 

38.5 Junior Liens

Contractor shall not lend, rent, lease, transfer, pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any portion of the Collateral or any right, title or interest therein except to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract and Contractor shall keep the Collateral free from any security interest, lien, encumbrance or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall be permitted to grant “silent” junior liens (“Junior Liens”) on the Collateral to secure indebtedness of Contractor and its Affiliates from time to time, including without limitation reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit (collectively, “Permitted Debt”), provided that the terms of such Junior Liens shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Prior to granting any Junior Lien on the Collateral, Contractor shall provide written notice to Purchaser describing the circumstances of such Junior Lien (including without limitation the identity of the proposed holder of such Junior Lien and the nature of the Permitted Debt). Within ten

 

- 116 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


(10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall provide the terms for such Junior Lien that would be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Contractor agrees and acknowledges that such reasonable terms may prohibit the holder of such Junior Lien from seizing, foreclosing on, selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral or exercising other rights as a secured party, and may include requirements that the holder of the Junior Lien hold in trust for Purchaser any amounts received in respect of the Collateral, so long as the Security Interest in favor of Purchaser remains in effect.

 

38.6 Periodic Inventory

Upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Contractor shall provide Purchaser a written inventory describing the Raw Materials, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods as of the time of such request.

 

38.7 Remedies

Purchaser shall have and be entitled to exercise all the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where Purchaser asserts the rights and remedies), such additional rights and remedies as provided in this Contract, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where Purchaser may assert its rights and remedies. Upon termination of this Contract pursuant to Article 23.1, or upon a termination by Contractor under Article 23.2.4 that is determined to have been wrongful, Purchaser shall have the right, subject to applicable export control restrictions and security regulations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof upon ten (10) days notice to Contractor for the purpose of effecting a sale or other disposition of the Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to exercise any remedy as a secured party in respect of the Security Interest granted hereunder unless (i) Purchaser has terminated this Contract in whole pursuant to, and within the time limits provided in, Article 23.1 or (ii) Contractor has wrongfully terminated this Contract under Article 23.5, and in either case, Purchaser retains a Security Interest as provided in this Article 38 and Contractor has failed to perform its obligations in such circumstances pursuant to Article 23 within thirty (30) days after required to do so (with respect to Contractor, a “Termination Default”).

38.8 Deficiencies

If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Article 38.7 or otherwise are insufficient to cover the amounts due in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of Article 38.9, Contractor shall remain liable for any deficiency. Purchaser shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Article 38.7 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in compliance with the UCC and applicable export control restrictions. Contractor hereby waives any claims against Purchaser arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Purchaser accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as the sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

38.9 Application of Proceeds

The Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Article 38.7 shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization; (ii) second, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) third, to the payment to the Contractor, or its respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

 

38.10 Limited Power of Attorney

Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Article 38 to Purchaser while no Termination Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Default, Purchaser is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Contractor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Security Interest and taking any action and executing any instruments that Purchaser may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

- 118 -

[Use or disclosure of the data contained on this page is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Contract.]


38.11 Contractor Cooperation

Contractor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Purchaser, Contractor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Purchaser may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Article 38.

 

38.12 Intellectual Property Rights

In connection with the exercise by Purchaser of its rights as a secured party hereunder, Contractor hereby grants to Purchaser, to any person acquiring rights in the Collateral as the result of the sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral, and to any successor owner of the Collateral, the Intellectual Property rights and rights in data specified in Article 36, which rights shall survive any termination of this Contract.

 

38.13 Allowed Administrative Expenses

The Secured Obligations of Contractor and the rights, claims and priorities of Purchaser granted herein shall continue beyond and remain unimpaired and unaffected by any termination of this Contract.

TerreStar Satellite Program – Technical Specifications

 

1 — SCOPE

This document specifies the performance characteristics of the TerreStar 2-GHz GEO Satellite designed to relay digital voice and data traffic in the 2 GHz band frequencies. The satellite shall be compatible with the launch constraints, restrictions, environments, and limitations of the launch vehicles and shall be capable of being placed in a geostationary orbit at the geostationary position of 111.1° W longitude.

The TerreStar 2-GHz GEO Satellite Space Segment consist of a spacecraft, ground-based beam forming (GBBF) subsystem, and tracking, telemetry and command subsystems. Within this segment, two links are provided for communicating between gateways and users.

 

  1. A forward link with Ku-band uplinks and 2-GHz band downlinks

 

  2. A return link with 2-GHz band uplinks and Ku-band downlinks

The 2-GHz band coverage is accomplished by employing spot beams, using the Satellite and the Ground Based Beamforming (GBBF) subsystem. The Satellite shall include a multi-element feed array and reflector antenna for the 2-GHz band coverage. The GBBF processes the signals to and from the spacecraft S-band feed array elements.

The TerreStar communications payload provides two distinct links between the gateways and the users. These links are accomplished with a large number of spot beams providing coverage to the continental United States, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.

1 — INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPE

This Spacecraft Test Plan (STP) defines the development, qualification, protoflight, and acceptance tests that are performed as a standard on all Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) spacecraft during factory testing, at the launch base, and for in-orbit verification. Testing is performed at unit, subsystem, and satellite levels. The ground test program is designed to demonstrate the performance of flight units in environments more stressful than those expected during the mission life. The purpose of this testing to show compliance with the Terrestar-2 Satellite Performance Specification as defined in Exhibit B of the Contract.

This plan is SS/L’s proven baseline. Testing details can be modified by mutual agreement between Purchaser and SS/L.

1.2 TEST PLAN OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHY

1.2.1 Objectives

The objective of the STP is to ensure that the satellite will satisfy and fulfill its mission requirements over its lifetime. The STP is designed to prove that the spacecraft is capable of meeting its required performance specifications over the range of environments it shall encounter during its operational lifetime, including ground, launch base, and launch phases. All acceptance, protoflight, qualification, and development tests conducted on spacecraft equipment shall follow the requirements of this test plan.
