Correction of Deliverables. Unless the Parties agree to a Cumulative Correction in accordance with Section 4.3.2 below, Contractor shall thereupon supply Customers with Deliverables conforming to respective Exhibit Set. Subject to Section 4.3.2, and for the avoidance of doubt, Liquidated Damages in accordance with Exhibit C shall be applicable from the date that Customer(s) provides notice to Contractor of such nonconformance in accordance with Section 4.2 until such time as the missed Key Milestone is delivered by Contractor.

4.3.2

Cumulative Correction. Upon written approval by Customers, and mutual agreement by the Parties as to scope and schedule, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, in lieu of the provisions of Section 4.3.1, Contractor shall be entitled to cumulate the corrections of nonconformance for more than one Key Milestones into one new hardware and/or new software release, as long as such cumulative corrections will not delay the final Milestone according to the Milestone Plan (“Cumulative Correction”). In case of a Cumulative Correction of a Key Milestone(s) that is/are accepted by Customers, such Key Milestone(s) will be deemed accepted. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Contractor’s obligations for liquidated damages as set forth in Exhibit C for (i) Delay in delivery after the scheduled delivery date of the Cumulative Correction, or (ii) non-conformance of a Cumulative Correction.

Page 6

Should Contractor be unable to remedy the nonconformance in accordance with either Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.3.2, the Parties shall consult forthwith in good faith to determine the timing and delivery by Contractor of the replacement of the SDR-BB with a hardware based implementation of a baseband consisting of terrestrial and satellite functionality complying with the Specification set forth in the applicable Exhibit Set. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Contractor’s obligations for liquidated damages pursuant to Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.3.2. Subject to Customer’s applicable termination rights according to Section 16.1.2 (c), this shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Customers in case of Contractor’s nonconformance with the Exhibit Set as described in this Section 4.3.

4.5

Final Acceptance. The final Key Milestone shall be accepted or not accepted by Customers in accordance with Sections 4.1 through 4.4, except that any Customer shall be permitted to request an extension of the acceptance review period set forth in Section 4.2, which shall not exceed an additional four (4) weeks. Such request shall not be unreasonably denied by Contractor. Upon such acceptance by all Customers, the obligations of the Contractor with respect to the respective Exhibit Set shall be deemed completed, subject to any on-going warranty, maintenance or other obligations set forth in this Contract.

4.6

Testing. The Acceptance Tests and acceptance criteria will be mutually agreed by the Parties and conducted by Customers, Subcontractors of Customers, or Contractor, as agreed between the Parties in the Exhibit Set, or as will be agreed by the Parties at a later time. Customers shall approve any results of such tests.

5.	Changes

5.1	Product Changes.

5.1.1

Change Request Process. Any Party may request changes in a Specification or a Statement of Work during a Project. Without undue delay upon receipt of such a request from a Customer, or concurrent with its own request, Contractor shall evaluate the requested changes and inform Customers of the effects associated with such changes, including the effects on non-recurring engineering costs, prices and the applicable Milestone Plan schedule and to Contractor’s best knowledge at the time of change request any third party Intellectual Property licenses that are required as a result of the change. If the changes requested by the Customer are technically unfeasible or technically or commercially unreasonable for Contractor, then Contractor shall reasonably substantiate this unfeasibility or unreasonableness and may decline the change; otherwise, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to find a mutually acceptable solution to implement the changes, agree on the non-recurring

Page 7

engineering costs therefore and amend the respective Exhibit Set accordingly. Any amendment of the Milestone Plan proposed by Contractor for the implementation of the change shall be in accordance with additional time periods reasonably necessary for Contractor to implement the change and any amendment to the non-recurring engineering costs and price proposed by Contractor shall be consistent with Contractor’s pricing as applied to similar Services and/or Deliverables under the original Project unless a need for a different pricing due to change in Contractor’s cost basis is reasonably substantiated by Contractor.

5.1.2.

Writing Requirement. Any such changes to the Specification and amendments to any Exhibit Set shall only be valid if documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the Parties. Should the Parties fail to mutually agree on a requested change, the non-recurring engineering costs or the necessary amendments to the respective Exhibit Set, the Project shall be executed according to the latest mutually agreed upon Specification.

5.2	Addition of New Customers.

Upon the joint written request of the Customers, the Parties shall mutually agree to amend this Contract to add up to two (2) additional third party(ies) as Customers (either for purposes of this Contract, as a whole, or for purposes of a specific Project only). Without undue delay upon receipt of such a request from Customers that a new party is interested in joining this Contract as a whole or for purposes of a specific Project, Contractor shall evaluate any requested changes to the Contract and applicable Exhibit Sets and inform Customers of the effects associated with such changes, including the effects on non-recurring engineering costs, prices and the applicable Milestone Plan schedule, and the Parties shall mutually agree in writing on any required amendments to the same. For purposes of clarification, with respect to the Initial Exhibit Set the addition of one or more additional Customers shall not give rise to an increase in the Purchase Price, provided that Exhibit A and Exhibit B of the Initial Exhibit Set remain unchanged.

Price

6.1

Estimated Price for T&M Projects. For each T&M Project, Contractor shall estimate, in good faith and based on and taking into consideration all facts of the T&M Project as timely made known to Contractor in writing by Customers, the approximate amount of charges, which will be specified in the applicable Statement of Work (the “Estimated Price”). Contractor will perform the Services and develop the Deliverables on a time and materials basis as described in the applicable Exhibit Set and each Customer shall, as consideration therefore, pay to Contractor the applicable charges according to the hours worked. In the case that Contractor foresees that in order to perform the Services and develop the Deliverables, Contractor will exceed the hours set forth in the Estimated Price, Contractor shall notify Customers in advance in writing of the same. Upon receipt of such notice, if Customers desire for Contractor to continue such Services, Customers shall authorize Contractor in writing to exceed the Estimated Price, in which case Contractor shall promptly continue its Services. In the case where Customers do not authorize Contractor in writing to exceed the Estimated Price, Contractor shall stop performing the Services and developing the Deliverables and the applicable Statement of Work shall immediately terminate. Following the end of each applicable month, or other agreed upon billing interval, Contractor shall provide to Customers a project sheet showing the individual and his or her hours worked each day during the billing period (a “Project Time Sheet”).

Page 8

6.2

For Fixed Fee Projects. For each Fixed Fee Project, Contractor shall perform all Services for an amount specified in the applicable Payment Plan and Milestone Schedule, unless such amount has been increased or decreased in accordance with this Contract. The Purchase Price for the Initial Project hereunder, as described in the Initial Exhibit Set, is a firm fixed price of thirty three million three hundred thousand Euros (€33.300.000), which price may be amended from time to time solely in accordance with this Contract.

6.3

Milestone Payments. The prices referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall be full consideration for the satisfactory and timely performance of Services and delivery of Deliverables, each in accordance with the requirements of this Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, payment is not deemed acceptance of any Milestone.

6.4

Taxes. All prices and fees set forth in this Contract or in the relevant SOW, as applicable, are exclusive of sales and use taxes, excise taxes, custom duties, consumption, value-added or other similar taxes (“other Taxes”) properly assessed on the sale of the Services and delivery of the Deliverables from Contractor to Customer. Provided such foregoing taxes and charges are adequately accounted for, properly invoiced, and separately stated at the same time as the payments are invoiced on the same invoice, each Customer will be responsible for all such foregoing taxes and charges with respect to the prices and fees they pay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Contractor shall be responsible for paying any and all duties, taxes, tax-like charges or tax-related surcharges except for Other Taxes as defined above, including such taxes determined by Contractor’s income, net worth, franchise or property, or otherwise related to the Deliverables and the performance of the Services (“Contractor Taxes”). In the event that Customers provide Contractor with a direct pay permit, sale for resale exemption certificate, sales tax exemption certificate or other applicable exemption certificate, Contractor will not invoice the respective Party for Other Taxes covered by such exemption certificate(s). The Parties shall cooperate to minimize all Other Taxes and Contractor Taxes, including taking all steps within their power that are necessary to ensure that all applicable exemptions and tax credits are available in respect of the Deliverables and Services. In the event any governmental or taxing authority imposes or assesses Other Taxes or Contractor Taxes against a Party hereto for which the other party is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.4, the responsible Party shall indemnify the other Party or Parties for such Taxes paid by the Party entitled to indemnification and shall reimburse such Party or Parties for related costs of defense (whether or not such Party actually pays the subject Taxes). The Party that is assessed will take all reasonable steps to defend any such assessment. The responsible Party or Parties will be entitled to be promptly notified within 15 days of any assessment or at the beginning of any applicable revenue audit and to all reasonable information related to the assessment of such Taxes, and, at its option and expense, may assume control of any defense or submission in respect of such assessed Taxes.

13.2

Exceptions to Indemnification by Contractor. Contractor shall only be liable under this Section 13 for an IP Claim provided that (i) the infringement is caused by the SDR Modem Platform itself and does not result from any satellite application of the SDR Modem Platform and (ii) the infringement is caused by such part of the SDR Modem Platform that Contractor is responsible to develop under this Contract and not by any part contained in the SDR Modem Platform as delivered by Contractor which has been provided to Contractor as CFI by Customer(s) or any of

Page 16

Customer(s)’s subcontractors or has been incorporated into the SDR Modem Platform by Customer(s) or any of its subcontractors and (iii) the infringement is not caused by the use of any SDR Modem Platform provided by Contractor hereunder in combination with other items not explicitly provided for such combination by Contractor or otherwise contemplated by the applicable Exhibit Set and (iv) the infringement is not caused by Customer(s)’s or any Customer(s) subcontractor’s modification of the SDR Platform provided by Contractor hereunder and (v) the third party Intellectual Property right is not essential for compliance with industry standards, whereby essential shall mean that it is not possible on technical grounds (where no commercially reasonable alternative exists), taking into account normal technical practice and the state of the art generally available at the time of standardization, that the SDR Modem Platform and the technology incorporated in the SDR Modem Platform comply with the respective industry standards without infringing such third party Intellectual Property right.

13.3

Indemnification by Customer(s). Except as set forth in Section 13.4, Customer(s), at its (their) own expense, shall defend, or at its (their) option settle, any suit, action, or other proceeding brought against Contractor, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, (“Contractor Indemnified Party”), by a third party based on infringement by any CFI provided by Customer(s) of any Intellectual Property right (excluding trademarks) of a third party (“IP Claim to Contractor”), and shall indemnify and hold each Contractor Indemnified Party harmless against all damages finally awarded against the Contractor Indemnified Parties and expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by and/or awarded against the Contractor Indemnified Party, in each case as a result of any such IP Claim to Contractor or resulting from the settlement of such IP Claim.

13.5

Additional Measures of Contractor. If the use of the SDR Modem Platform is enjoined based on an IP Claim, Contractor shall, without undue delay at its own discretion and expense (i) procure for Customer(s) the right to use the infringing item; or (ii) modify the infringing item so that it becomes non-infringing while remaining in compliance in all material respects with the Specification. If (i) or (ii) cannot be obtained under commercially reasonable conditions, Contractor shall meet with Customer(s), at Customer(s)’s request, to address the matter and reach an equitable solution reasonably acceptable to the Parties on the timing and delivery by Contractor of the replacement of the SDR-BB with a hardware based implementation of a baseband consisting of terrestrial and satellite functionality complying with the Specification set forth in the applicable Exhibit Set.

if a Customer materially breaches this Contract, subject to a thirty (30) day cure period following written notice by the Contractor to all Customers of Contractor’s intent to terminate. For purposes of clarification, any Customer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any other Customer’s breach, including by making any overdue payment to Contractor. In the event of a cure, the curing Customer shall have the right as determined by it in its sole discretion to either (i) continue with the Contract as-is without any changes thus allowing such breaching Customer to continue as a Party hereunder, or (ii) have the Contract terminate solely with respect to the breaching Customer, in which case the remaining parties shall negotiate in good faith any modifications to the applicable Exhibit Set necessary to reflect the breaching Customer’s removal as a party, with pricing not to exceed the then-current Project pricing reflected in the Exhibit Set.
