(A) Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, against any claims, damages, losses, costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim, suit, or proceeding asserted or filed against Purchaser relating to infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other proprietary

right based on the laws of the United States and EU, or a country where Contractor or any Subcontractor is located (except that such indemnification shall not apply to any patent identified as being “granted” as set forth in Exhibit I of the Satellite Contract), by any Deliverable Item to be delivered hereunder, or any part thereof or arising out of Contractor’s performance of its obligations under the Contract. Purchaser shall notify Contractor promptly in writing of any such claim, suit or proceeding, and give Contractor proper and full information, of which it is aware, and reasonable assistance to settle and/or to defend any such claim, suit, or proceeding. At its option and expense, Purchaser may participate in the defense of such claim, suit or proceeding with counsel of its own choosing. In addition, the indemnification shall also apply if in the reasonable opinion of Contractor’s outside intellectual property counsel, any Deliverable Item to be delivered hereunder or any part thereof may become the subject of any claim, suit, or proceeding for infringement of any such patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other proprietary right.

(B) In case of such a claim as set forth in Article 15(A), Contractor shall, at its option and expense, either (i) procure for Purchaser the right under such patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other proprietary right, to use, lease, or sell, as appropriate, such Deliverable Item, or part thereof, or (ii) replace or modify such Deliverable Item, or part thereof, so that it becomes non-infringing but continues to meet the requirements of the Contract.

(C) Contractor shall have no liability for and the provisions of Article 15(A) shall not apply for any infringement arising from (i) the combination of such Deliverable Item, part thereof or process practiced therein with any other item or part not furnished to Purchaser by Contractor unless such Deliverable Item, part or process furnished by Contractor contributorily infringes, or (ii) the modification of such Deliverable Item, part thereof or process practiced therein, unless such modification was made or authorized by Contractor, or (iii) the use of any patent identified as being “granted” as set forth in Exhibit I of the Satellite Contract.

(D) Contractor’s total liability to Purchaser under this Article 15 shall not exceed the Total Price. This Article 15 states the entire obligation of Contractor and the exclusive remedy of Purchaser, with respect to any alleged patent, copyright, trade secret or trademark infringement by such product or part or process.

ARTICLE 16
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(A) EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS CONTRACT, CONTRACTOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTRACT OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACTOR OR THE WORK HEREUNDER, WHETHER ARISING AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCLUDED.

(B) IN NO EVENT SHALL CONTRACTOR OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF PROFIT OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR LOSS) WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS CONTRACT OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECT, NON-CONFORMANCE OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS, SERVICES OR OTHER THINGS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS CONTRACT. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE OR EVEN IF CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, CONTRACTOR AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF A SPACECRAFT OR FAILURE OF THE GLOBALSTAR SYSTEM TO OPERATE SATISFACTORILY.

(C) IN NO EVENT SHALL PURCHASER BE LIABLE TO CONTRACTOR OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF PROFIT OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR LOSS) WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS CONTRACT. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE OR EVEN IF PURCHASER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(D) BOTH PARTIES’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS CONTRACT OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECT, NON-CONFORMANCE OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS, GOODS, SERVICES OR OTHER THINGS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS CONTRACT ARE LIMITED TO THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR RECOURSE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY OF ANY KIND ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND FOREVER WAIVED.

(E) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS CONTRACT TO THE CONTRARY, CONTRACTOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO PURCHASER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PRICE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS CONTRACT TO THE CONTRARY, PURCHASER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PRICE LESS ANY PAYMENTS MADE.

ARTICLE 17
EXCUSABLE DELAYS

(A) Any delay or failure in the performance of a Party’s obligations under this Contract (other than payment obligations) shall be excused, and such Party will not be liable for, or be in default for, such delay or non-performance, if the cause of the delay or non-performance is, in whole or in part, beyond such Party’s reasonable control and without the negligence of such Party (or its Subcontractors at any tier).

Purchaser acknowledges that following the end of an excusable delay event, Contractor shall resume full performance as soon as commercially practicable after the end of an excusable delay event, and the schedule of performance shall be deemed modified to reflect such recommencement of performance. Payments obligations of Purchaser shall be suspended only for the portion of Contractor’s performance of Work affected by the excusable delay.

(B) Excusable delays shall be conclusively deemed to include, but are not limited to Acts of God or of the public enemy; acts or omissions of governmental bodies, including the FCC, in their sovereign capacities or contractual capacities (including the inability to obtain and/or the suspension, withdrawal, or non-renewal of export or import licenses required for the performance of the Contract); acts of war (declared or undeclared), fires, earthquakes, floods, other unusually severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, component or parts alerts, labor and other industrial disputes, terrorist acts and freight embargoes sabotage, riots, theft; introduction of malicious code; failures or interruptions in essential services or equipment (e.g., electrical power, telecommunications, fuels, water); embargoes and other transportation failures.

(C) The Party whose performance is delayed under Section 17(A) shall give notice in writing to the other Party within seven (7) Business Days after an excusable delay shall have occurred or such notifying Party knows of an excusable delay, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party’s failure to provide such notice shall not prevent such an event from qualifying as an excusable delay, except to the extent the failure to so notify prejudices the other Party’s ability to mitigate the impact of the delay or non performance. Such notice shall also be given at the termination of the excusable delay. The delivery requirements shall only be extended, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, by such period of time as is justified by the evidence forwarded in the notice, but in any event not less than one (1) Day for one (1) Day of excusable delay.

(D) Should excusable delays total, or be likely to total, six (6) consecutive months or more, Purchaser, at its option, may terminate this Contract with respect to the affected remaining Work by written notice to Contractor and the conditions of Article 21 shall apply. Purchaser’s right to terminate pursuant to this Article 17(D) shall not apply to the extent that excusable delays do not affect Contractor’s ability to perform (i.e., such excusable delays affect Purchaser only).

ARTICLE 18
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR LATE DELIVERY

(A) Contractor understands that delays in Delivery of Deliverable Items required herein may cause Purchaser to incur additional cost, loss of revenues and other damages, which damages are difficult to estimate but the Parties acknowledge are likely to be significant. Accordingly, the Parties agree to fixed and liquidated damages for late Delivery of Deliverable Items which damages are intended to be compensatory, not a penalty and are in lieu of actual damages incurred by the Purchaser.

(B) In the event Contractor has not successfully completed the Control Network Facility Acceptance Review on or before the sixtieth (60th) Day after the due date as set forth in Section 2.7 of Exhibit A, then for each Day thereafter until completion of the Satellite Control Network Acceptance Review, Contractor agrees to pay Purchaser, as liquidated damages, [*] of the price of the Deliverable Item as set forth in Article 4 which caused the delay, up to a maximum of [*] of the price of the delayed Deliverable Item.

(C) Payment of liquidated damages due to Purchaser shall be made within thirty (30) Days after receipt of an emailed invoice by Contractor from Purchaser.

(D) Delays in delivery shall be excused and the delivery date(s) shall be extended, as appropriate, to reflect the following conditions:

(i) if delay in Delivery is due to any cause referred to in Article 17; or

(ii) the execution of a Stop Work pursuant to Article 22 which results in an extension of the Delivery Schedule; or

(iii) if the delay is due to a cause or causes attributable to the Purchaser.

(E) The liquidated damages set forth herein reflect the mutual agreement of the Parties as fair and reasonable compensation for a delay in Delivery.

ARTICLE 19
REQUEST FOR DEVIATION (RFD)/REQUEST FOR WAIVERS (RFW) AND CHANGES

(A) Should Contractor desire to deviate from the requirements of a specific item of the Work, it shall submit to Purchaser an RFD/RFW, as set forth in section 2.2 of Exhibit A.

Contractor shall submit RFD/RFWs to the Purchaser promptly as and when they occur. Before Purchaser shall grant a deviation or waiver, it may negotiate in good faith with Contractor a mutually acceptable consideration therefor.

(B) Purchaser may from time to time between the EDC and completion of this Contract, by written change order issued by Purchaser, make changes within the general scope of this Contract regarding the Deliverable Items, the services or in any drawings, designs, specifications, methods of shipment or packing, quantities of items, places of delivery, additional Work, or the omission of Work. Procedures for implementing such changes may be similar to RFD/RFWs submitted by Contractor pursuant to Article 19(A), with the Parties negotiating the terms of the change order, including the price therefor, before the change order becomes effective, or Purchaser may issue the change order without such negotiation, as set forth in Article 19(C).

(C) If any change order causes an increase or decrease in the costs of, or the time required for, Contractor’s obligations under this Contract, and the Parties do not negotiate such terms before the

change order becomes effective, in accordance with Article 19(B), an equitable adjustment in the price or Delivery Schedule or both shall thereafter be negotiated by the Parties and this Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly provided that Contractor shall begin the work related to the change if and when Contractor has received from Purchaser a financial commitment acceptable to Contractor to begin such work. Any claim for adjustment under this Article shall be deemed waived unless asserted in writing (with the amount of the claim) within forty-five (45) Days from the date of receipt by Contractor of the change order.

ARTICLE 20
TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT

(A) Purchaser may, by written notice to Contractor, issue a written notice of Default (the ”Default Notice”) to Contractor, if:

(i) there is a material breach by Contractor in the technical compliance identified during the Subsystems Acceptance Review of any of the Deliverable Item, in accordance with the Contract; or

(ii) Contractor fails to satisfactorily complete the Control Network Facility Acceptance Review on or before six (6) months after the due date as set forth in Article 18(B).

After Purchaser issues a Default Notice in connection with any of the circumstances in Article 20(A)(i), Contractor shall within thirty (30) Days of such notice submit to Purchaser a plan (“Plan”) for remedying such Default. If the Plan demonstrates to the mutual agreement of the Parties that the Control Network Facility Acceptance Review will be completed within the time specified in Article 18(B) plus six (6) months, then such Plan shall be implemented by Contractor and the Delivery Schedule shall be adjusted as the Parties shall mutually agree. Contractor may also suggest a Plan that does not result in the Control Network Facility Acceptance Review being completed within the time specified in Article 18(B) plus six (6) months, provided that Purchaser shall in its sole discretion either accept or reject such a Plan by written notice sent to Contractor within ten (10) Business Days. In case of rejection, Purchaser may terminate the Contract by written notice of termination as set forth in Article 20(B).

(B) If Purchaser gives Contractor a Default Notice and Contractor fails to respond to within the time period (if any) specified above in Article 20(A), Purchaser may terminate this Contract upon notice (the ”Termination Notice”) to Contractor and without further period for cure.

In the event of a termination pursuant to this Article 20(B), then, on demand from Purchaser, Contractor will refund all payments made by Purchaser less any amounts due under Article 18. Except as provided in Article 9(C), no refund shall be made with respect to Deliverable Items for which Final Acceptance has occurred at the time of termination. Contractor shall make this refund within thirty (30) Days of receipt of Purchaser’s written notice of termination of this Contract. In the event that Purchaser demands the refund as described above, then such refund shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for such termination.

Contractor shall keep title and ownership to all terminated WIP. Purchaser shall take all reasonable necessary action for the protection and preservation of the Work in possession of Purchaser in which Contractor has an interest under this Contract, and Purchaser shall deliver to Contractor such work in its possession at Contractor’s expense.

(C) If, after notice of termination under the provisions of this Article, it is determined that Contractor was not in default under the provisions of this Article or that the delay was excusable under the provisions of Article 17, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if notice of termination had been issued pursuant to Article 21.

ARTICLE 21
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

(A) Purchaser, by written notice to Contractor to be effective three (3) months following the date of such notice, may terminate this Contract in whole or in part for its convenience in accordance with the terms of this Article 21. In such case, Contractor shall immediately stop Work as directed in the termination notice and make its reasonable best efforts to mitigate costs.

(B) In case of termination for convenience, Contractor shall be entitled to be paid the lesser of (i) all actual costs, direct and indirect, incurred by Contractor (Value Added Tax payable by Contractor on such costs as a result of such termination shall be documented to Purchaser, added to such costs and paid by Purchaser) for all Work performed plus actual termination costs incurred by Contractor and its Subcontractors and to receive, in addition, an amount representing [*] profit, before taxes, on such costs less amounts previously paid by Purchaser to Contractor pursuant to this Contract or (ii) the maximum aggregate payments to be made as set forth in Exhibit C for the two (2) quarters following the date of notice as set forth in Article 21(A). A claim for such costs shall be submitted by Contractor to Purchaser within sixty (60) Days from the date of notice of termination. The Parties shall agree upon the final termination charges to be paid to Contractor within thirty (30) Days after the date of submission by Contractor of its claim.

(C) Purchaser shall pay Contractor the termination charges within thirty (30) Days following the date of receipt of an invoice from Contractor. Final payment shall be the amount of the total termination charges less amounts previously paid by Purchaser to Contractor pursuant to this Contract. In the event the amount of these credits exceeds the amount of the total termination charges, Contractor will refund the excess to Purchaser within thirty (30) Days following the date of receipt of an invoice from Purchaser.

Subject to the prior approval of Purchaser and subject to restrictions that may be imposed under applicable Governmental authorizations, title to all WIP shall transfer to Purchaser after payment. The license granted to Purchaser under Article 12 shall continue for the period of use of any Deliverable Items not terminated.

If requested by Purchaser and to the extent reasonably practicable, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-sell or re-use on other programs all WIP (or parts thereof) for the benefit of Purchaser. In such case, the fair market value of such WIP that Contractor re-uses or re-sells, as negotiated in good faith by the Parties, less the reasonable and demonstrable costs of storage and the reasonable costs incurred by Contractor for reusing and/or reselling such items, shall be deducted from the termination charges or added to the termination credit.

ARTICLE 22
STOP WORK

(A) Stop Work by Purchaser

(i) Purchaser may, at any time, by written notice to Contractor (“the Stop Work Order”), direct Contractor to suspend performance of the Work for a maximum cumulative duration of six (6) months and with a maximum number of suspensions of two (2). Said Stop Work Order shall specify the date of suspension and the estimated duration of the suspension. Upon receiving any such Stop Work Order, Contractor shall promptly suspend further performance of the Work to the extent specified, and during the period of such suspension shall properly care for and protect all WIP and materials, supplies, and equipment Contractor has on hand for performance of the Work.

(ii) Purchaser may, at any time during the stop Work, either (a) direct Contractor to resume performance of the Work by written notice to Contractor, and Contractor shall resume diligent performance of the Work, provided that (x) the Delivery Schedule is adjusted to reflect the stop Work and the time required by Contractor to recommence performance, (y) other affected provisions of the

Contract shall be adjusted, and (z) Contractor is compensated for its costs as defined in Article 22(A)(iii) below; or (b) terminate the Contract pursuant to Article 21, in which case the costs incurred by Contractor and its Subcontractors as a result of the stop Work as defined in Article 22(A)(iii) shall be added to the termination charges to be paid pursuant to Article 21.

(iii) Contractor shall be compensated for any additional, direct, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Contractor or the Subcontractors as a result of such suspension and resumption of Work. Contractor shall invoice Purchaser for such costs, and Purchaser shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) Days from the date of invoice. Invoices will not be issued more frequently than one (1) per month during a stop Work.

(B) Stop Work by Contractor

(i) In the event Purchaser fails to make any payment in due time as required pursuant to this Contract, Contractor shall notify Purchaser in writing of such failure. If such failure is not cured by Purchaser within thirty (30) Days after the date of such notification made by Contractor, Contractor shall be entitled to immediately stop the Work under this Contract.

If Purchaser fails to make any payment within thirty (30) Days from the date Contractor has stopped the Work as defined above, Contractor shall be entitled to immediately terminate the Contract by written notice sent to Purchaser and the provisions of Article 22(B)(iii) shall apply.

If Purchaser makes any payment on or before thirty (30) Days from the date Contractor has stopped the Work as defined above, Contractor shall resume any Work suspended as reasonably and promptly as possible provided that (a) Purchaser has paid to Contractor all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the stop Work hereunder and (b) the schedule of the Contract shall be adjusted (provided such schedule adjustment shall not be less than one Day for each Day of Work stoppage).

(ii) In the event Purchaser fails to perform any material obligations (other than those expressed in Article 22(B)(i)), Contractor shall notify Purchaser in writing of such failure. If such failure is not cured by Purchaser within thirty (30) Days after the date of such notification made by Contractor, Contractor shall be entitled to immediately stop the Work under this Contract.

If Purchaser fails to cure the material breach within thirty (30) Days from the date Contractor has stopped the Work as defined above, Contractor shall be entitled to immediately terminate the Contract by written notice sent to Purchaser and the provisions of Article 22(B)(iii) shall apply.

If Purchaser cures the material breach on or before thirty (30) Days from the date Contractor has stopped the Work as defined above, Contractor shall resume any Work suspended as reasonably and promptly as possible provided that (a) Purchaser has paid to Contractor all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the stop Work hereunder and (b) the schedule of the Contract shall be adjusted (provided such schedule adjustment shall not be less than one Day for each Day of Work stoppage).

(iii) In the event of termination of the Contract by Contractor pursuant to this Article 22(B), Purchaser shall be liable to Contractor for the charges payable pursuant to Article 21(B) which shall include all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the stop Work hereunder, but in no event to exceed the maximum aggregate payments to be made as set forth in Exhibit C for two (2) quarters following the date of termination notice.

(iv) In the event of a bankruptcy filing by or against Purchaser, and the occurrence of a post-bankruptcy default by Purchaser including, but not limited to, a default under Article 34(F), Purchaser consents to a modification of the stays of proceedings to permit the Contractor to exercise such rights and remedies as may be available to it under the Contract or applicable law, including, but not limited to, the right to suspend performance, terminate the Contract and exercise rights under other agreements with the Purchaser.

Further, Purchaser consents that any preliminary hearing on a request under U.S. Bankruptcy Code section 362(d) (or under any successor statute or rule) by Contractor for a modification of the stays of proceedings (a ”Modification of the Stays Motion”) shall be combined with a final hearing so that such hearing may be concluded not less than thirty (30) days after the filing of the Contractors’ Modification of the Stays Motion.

Purchaser acknowledges that the provisions of this Article 22(B)(iv) are critical elements of the transaction to Contractor. The Parties have consulted legal counsel experienced in such issues, and agree that a provision of this type is beneficial in these circumstances.

ARTICLE 23
ARBITRATION

(A) Any dispute or disagreement arising between the Parties in connection with any interpretation of any provision of the Contract, or the compliance or non-compliance therewith, or the validity or enforceability thereof, or any other dispute under any Article hereof which is not settled to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties within thirty (30) Days (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed) from the date that either Party informs the other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes in effect on the date that such notice is given, except as otherwise specified herein.

(B) The Party which demands arbitration of the controversy shall in writing specify the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and at the same time, choose and nominate an arbitrator; thereupon, within fifteen (15) Days after receipt of such written notice, the other Party shall in writing choose and nominate a second arbitrator.

The two arbitrators so chosen shall forthwith select a third arbitrator, giving written notice to both Parties of the choice so made and fixing a time and place in New York City, at which both Parties may appear and be heard with respect to such controversy. In case the two arbitrators shall fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within a period of seven (7) Days, or if for any other reason there shall be a lapse in the naming of an arbitrator or arbitrators, or in the filling of a vacancy, or in the failure or refusal of any arbitrator or arbitrators to attend or fulfill his or their duties, then upon application by either Party to the controversy, arbitrators shall be named by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Arbitration Rules.

The arbitrators shall control discovery as they shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of having the discovery take place in an expeditious and cost-effective manner. Any discovery shall be limited to information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration and shall be concluded within ninety (90) Days after the arbitrators are appointed, unless good cause for an extension of such deadline is shown.

(C) The arbitrators shall not alter or modify the terms and conditions of this Contract but shall consider the pertinent facts and circumstances and be guided by the terms and conditions of this Contract. If a solution is not found in the terms and conditions of this Contract, the arbitrators shall be guided by the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding all conflict of law rules. The arbitration award made shall be final and binding upon the Parties, their successors and assignees, and judgment may be entered thereon, upon the application of either Party, by any court having jurisdiction. Each Party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case including its own attorneys’ fees; and the cost of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator or arbitrators, will be shared equally by the Parties.

(D) The relief that may be awarded by the arbitrators under any arbitration arising from this Contract may not exceed actual compensatory damages. In no event may the arbitrators award punitive damages or otherwise disregard the limitations of liability set forth in this Contract.

ARTICLE 24
WARRANTY

(A) Contractor warrants that the Deliverable Items shall be free from material defects in materials and workmanship and will conform to the requirements in Exhibit B1 to B3. This warranty shall start upon the date of Final Acceptance of the Control Network Facility and shall run for a period of one (1) year. The scope of this warranty is as set forth herein.

(B) Without waiver of its right to terminate this Contract for default, Purchaser shall have the right, at any time during the period of this warranty and irrespective of prior inspections or acceptance, to require that any Deliverable Item not conforming to the material requirements of the Contract by written notice sent to Contractor (detailing to which extent the Contract requirements are not met) be corrected or replaced, at Contractor’s expense and option. Repair of defective parts shall take place at the Contractor’s facilities, or at any local supplier’s facility specified by the Contractor.

The ownership to parts replaced shall pass to the Purchaser upon delivery of the replacements to the Delivery Place. Transportation and insurance costs for defective parts returned to the Contractor shall be at Purchaser’s charge and transportation and insurance costs for parts replaced or repaired by the Contractor shall be at the Contractor’s charge.

In the event that an on-site intervention is needed (e.g. fault cannot be located remotely by the Contractor, or failure of a non replaceable unit), the Contractor shall send a maintenance expert on site at no additional cost for the Purchaser.

Labor costs, travel, board and lodging of installation personnel relating to the reinstallation of repaired or replaced part under the above warranty shall be borne by Purchaser. The Contractor reserves the right to supply, at a price to be agreed upon, replacement parts which will give equivalent performance without being identical to the parts replaced.

(C) The Contractor undertakes to correct any reproducible error or omission on a software reported by Purchaser during the warranty period. Contractor will undertake for the warranty period to correct or bypass, pursuant to its own standards, all reproducible malfunctions or anomalies in a software within a reasonable period of time depending on the severity of the problem. This warranty is strictly limited to a software (or features) delivered under this Contract and does not extend any existing warranty on software (or features) currently installed in the Purchaser’s facilities. The Purchaser should notify Contractor of the defects in writing within fifteen (15) Days after the defects are discovered. The Purchaser shall also provide an accurate description of the conditions under which the software defect occurred, including without limitation the conditions prevailing during the most recent operation of the software.

The above warranties do not extend to any modification on software which is undertaken by the Purchaser or a third party and which is not authorised by Contractor, any malfunction which appears because of modifications of the interface conditions or use of a software which is not contemplated in the Contract.

For any software supplied under license from third parties, the rights and guarantees given are those which Contractor is authorised to provide to its customers.

(D) The remedy under this Article 24 shall not apply if repair or parts replacement is required because of accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, negligence, misuse, failure of environmental control prescribed in operations and maintenance manuals, repair or alterations by Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives or agents, or causes other than ordinary use. Furthermore, the warranty is contingent upon Contractor being given access to delivered Deliverable Items in order to effect any correction or replacement.

(E) EXCEPT AS IS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS CONTRACT, NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT

LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL APPLY TO THE GOODS AND SERVICES HEREUNDER AND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN ARE THE SOLE REMEDIES FOR FAILURE BY CONTRACTOR TO FURNISH WORK THAT IS FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP AND CONFORMANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 24. IN NO EVENT SHALL CONTRACTOR BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY ANY OTHER STATUTORY ENACTMENT OR RULE OF LAW WHATSOEVER ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.

No person can serve the role of more than one Key Person.

Position		Name
Program Manager SOCC and TCU		[*]
Program Manager IOTE		[*]

(B) Key Personnel shall not be removed from performance of the Work under this Contract unless replaced with personnel of substantially equal qualifications and ability. Purchaser shall have the right to review the qualifications of any proposed replacements. If Purchaser deems, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed replacements to be unsuitable, Purchaser may require Contractor to offer alternative candidates. Notwithstanding its role in reviewing Key Personnel and their replacements, Purchaser shall have no supervisory control over their performance, and nothing in this Article shall relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Contract, or of its responsibility for any acts or omissions of its personnel.

ARTICLE 31
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

(A) Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its subcontractors (if any), their respective officers, employees, agents, servants and assignees, or any of them (collectively “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from any direct or indirect loss, damage, liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), on account of loss or damage to property and injuries, including death, to all persons, including but not limited to employees or agents of Contractor, the Subcontractors and the Purchaser Indemnitees, and to all other persons, arising from any occurrence caused by any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Contractor, the Subcontractors or any of them.

At Contractor’s expense, Contractor shall defend any suits or other proceedings brought against the Purchaser Indemnitees on account thereof, and shall pay all expenses and satisfy all judgments which may be incurred by or rendered against them, or any of them, in connection therewith.

Contractor shall have the right to settle any claim or litigation against which it indemnifies hereunder. Further, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall provide to Contractor such reasonable cooperation and assistance as Contractor may request to perform its obligations hereunder.

(B) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Contractor, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, its Subcontractors, their respective officers, employees, agents, servants and assignees, or any of them

(collectively “Contractor Indemnitees”), from any direct or indirect loss, damage (including damage to property and injuries, including death), liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by any third party (including employees or agents of Purchaser and Contractor Indemnitees) and arising from any occurrence caused by any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Purchaser, its officers, employees, agents, consultants, servants and assignees.

In addition, Purchaser shall waive any claim against and shall indemnify and hold harmless Contractor Indemnitees from any direct or indirect loss, damage (including damage to property and injuries, including death), liability and expense incurred by any third party and arising from use, operation or performance of the Deliverable Items after Final Acceptance, including as a result of modification or improvements made by Purchaser.

Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, defend any suits brought against the Contractor Indemnitees referred to above and shall pay all expenses and satisfy all judgments which may be incurred by or rendered against them, or any of them, in connection therewith. Purchaser shall have the right to settle any claim or litigation against which it indemnifies hereunder. Further, the Contractor Indemnitees shall provide to Purchaser such reasonable cooperation and assistance as Purchaser may request to perform its obligations hereunder.

(C) Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain insurance which shall cover all WIP (including all Purchaser’s property while in Contractor’s custody) against physical loss or damage on an “all risks” property insurance basis, including coverage for the perils of flood or earthquake while in or about Contractor’s and its Subcontractors’ premises, while at other premises which may be used or operated by Contractor for construction purposes.

The amount of insurance shall be sufficient to cover the full replacement value of all Work. Upon request by Purchaser, Contractor will provide certificate of insurance to Purchaser. Additionally, Contractor will add Purchaser as an additional insured under the All Risks insurance as far as Purchaser’s interests may appear.

The insurance may be issued with deductibles, which are consistent with Contractor’s current insurance policies. The amount of any loss up to the value of the deductible level, or not otherwise covered by the insurance, shall be borne by Contractor.

In addition, Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain a Commercial General Liability Insurance Policy (“CGL Policy”) which shall cover property damage and injuries, including death, caused to third parties. Upon written request by Purchaser, Contractor will provide a certificate of insurance to Purchaser. Contractor shall use its reasonable best efforts to add Purchaser as additional insured under such CGL Policy.

ARTICLE 32

(i) signature of the Contract by both Parties; and

(ii) the first payment referred to in Exhibit C has been credited to the Contractor’s bank account.

(B) If by April 15th, 2007, the conditions under Article 32(A) are not fulfilled, Contractor or Purchaser shall have the following options:

(ii) be entitled to enter into negotiation with the other Party if agreed by such Party to adjust the Total Price and the schedule of Work. The Contract shall be amended to reflect these adjustments.

ARTICLE 33

(i) Contractor’s execution of and performance under this Contract will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any contract, instrument or other agreement to which Contractor is a party or is bound; and

(ii) Contractor has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Contract, that the execution, delivery and performance by Contractor of this Contract have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Contractor and do not require any further approval or consent of any person or entity (whether governmental or otherwise), and that once executed by Contractor this Contract shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Contractor enforceable against Contractor in accordance with its terms.

(B) Purchaser represents, covenants and warrants that:

(i) Purchaser has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Contract, that the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Contract have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser and do not require any further approval or consent of any person or entity (whether governmental or otherwise), and that once executed by Purchaser this Contract shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

(ii) Purchaser’s execution of and performance under this Contract does not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any contract, instrument or other agreement to which Purchaser is a party or is bound.

ARTICLE 34
GENERAL PROVISIONS

(A) Each Party hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written approval of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed), assign or delegate any of their rights, duties, and obligations under this Contract, except to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such Party (which assignment or delegation shall not relieve the assignor or delegator of liability). In case of assignment by Purchaser, Purchaser shall demonstrate to Contractor’s satisfaction that its successor or assignee possesses the financial resources to fulfill Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract. Upon such assignment, the assignee shall assume all rights and obligations of the assignor existing under this Contract at the time of such assignment. This Article 34(A) shall not preclude the granting of a security interest by a Party to a lender.

(B) Nothing contained in this Contract shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or by any third party to create any rights, obligations or interests in third parties, or to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture or any other fiduciary relationship or association between the Parties and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.

(C) No failure on the part of either Party to notify the other Party of any noncompliance hereunder, and no failure on the part of either Party to exercise its rights hereunder, shall prejudice any remedy for any subsequent noncompliance with any term or condition of this Contract and shall be limited to the particular instance and shall not operate or be deemed to waive any future breaches or noncompliance

with any term or condition. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies and rights hereunder shall be exclusive and in lieu of all other rights and remedies available by law or in equity.

(D) The Parties shall comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the OECD Antibribery Convention and all other laws of any country dealing with improper or illegal payments, gifts or gratuities. Contractor agrees not to pay, promise to pay or authorize the payment of any money or anything of value, directly or indirectly to any person for the purpose of illegally or improperly inducing a decision or obtaining or retaining business in connection with this Contract.

(E) This Contract (including all Exhibits and Appendices) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior understandings, commitments and representations between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Contract may not be amended or modified and none of its provisions may be waived, except by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party against which the amendment, modification or waiver is sought to be enforced.

In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Contract shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Contract shall be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a provision which, being valid and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the Parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable provisions. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree upon any such replacement provision.

The paragraph headings herein shall not be considered in interpreting the text of this Contract.

All oral and written communications between the Parties shall be conducted in English.

This Contract shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods is not applicable to this Contract.

(F) In view of a number of factors, including the substantial payments to Subcontractors that Contractor will be making in connection with its performance under this Contract, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if Purchaser should become a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Contractor would be severely and irreparably damaged unless Purchaser continues uninterrupted and timely performance of its obligations under the Contract and promptly assumes or rejects this Contract. In continuing to perform this Contract following a bankruptcy filing by the Purchaser, Contractor would incur significant expense (including commitments to Subcontractors) that Contractor could avoid incurring through termination clauses if the Contract ultimately is to be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding. Accordingly, if Purchaser should become a debtor in a case (the ”Bankruptcy Case”) under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (i) promptly advise Contractor of such, (ii) file a motion (the ”Motion”) with the bankruptcy court presiding over the Bankruptcy Case seeking an order approving Purchaser’s assumption or rejection of this Contract within such thirty day period, and (iii) obtain a final and non-appealable order (the ”Order”) approving the assumption or rejection of this Contract. Purchaser agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Contractor, withdraw the Motion or adjourn any hearing on the Motion. Purchaser further agrees that it will promptly take and diligently pursue any and all actions necessary and/or appropriate, including such actions as may be reasonably requested by Contractor, to obtain the Order within the thirty (30) day period set forth above. In the event Purchaser does not file the Motion and obtain the Order within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, Contractor shall, in addition to any other rights and/or remedies it has or may have, be entitled to stop the Work under this Contract. Following such Work stoppage, if Purchaser still has not filed the Motion and obtained the Order within thirty (30) days after Contractor has stopped the Work then, Contractor shall be entitled to terminate the Contract by written notice sent to Purchaser and the provisions of Article 22(B)(iii) shall apply.

Purchaser acknowledges that the provisions of this Article 34(F) are critical elements of the transaction to Contractor. The Parties have consulted legal counsel experienced in such issues, and agree that a provision of this type is beneficial in these circumstances.
