misconduct of Seller. Iridium’s obligations under this indemnity will survive the expiration, termination or completion or cancellation of this Agreement with respect to any Claims arising before such time.

10.4 Risk of Loss. As between the Parties, Iridium or its Affiliates shall retain all risk of loss, and loss of use, of NEXT or any individual NEXT satellite, except in the event of Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in which event Seller’s maximum liability to Iridium (including its Affiliates, subcontractors, agents and representatives) is limited to no more than four hundred million United States dollars (US $400,000,000). Further, Iridium hereby releases and relieves Seller, which is defined for the purposes of this Article 10.4 to include its divisions, subsidiaries, and Affiliates, subcontractors, the assignees of each, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and waives any claim of recovery, including claims by Iridium for loss of, loss of use of, or damage to NEXT or any individual NEXT satellite, whether or not such loss or damage is due to the negligence of Seller but not in the event of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. Seller assumes the risk of loss for any direct damage to or loss of the property of Iridium or its Affiliates other than the NEXT Space Segment or any individual NEXT satellite to the extent arising out of Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Iridium insures against loss of or damage to the NEXT or any individual NEXT satellites, Iridium shall cause the insurers to waive all rights of subrogation against Seller to the maximum extent such waiver is available in the commercial insurance market for the class of insurance procured. If such a waiver, consistent with prevailing insurance practices at the time, is available only at an additional premium which is specifically attributable to obtaining a waiver of all rights of subrogation against Seller, then Seller, at its option, may either pay the additional premium, at no cost to Iridium, or waive and release Iridium from its obligation to obtain waiver of all rights of subrogation. If a waiver is not available at all, then the requirement will no longer apply, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable alternative, provided that during negotiations each party shall continue to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement. If the parties are unable to negotiate a mutually acceptable alternative, Seller agrees to transition the Task-Ordered O & M Services under this Agreement to Iridium, including support of the transfer of personnel, consistent with applicable law, and sale of assets, equipment, and software, if any, owned by Seller, at book value.

10.5 Insurance Provided by Iridium.

Iridium shall cause the insurers who provide in-orbit third party liability insurance for the NEXT Space Segment to waive all rights of subrogation against Seller, its divisions, subsidiaries, Affiliates, subcontractors and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, to the maximum extent such waiver is available in the commercial insurance market for the class of insurance procured, but to the extent a waiver is not available, this requirement shall no longer apply. Such insurance, if any, shall also provide that the insurers shall give [***…***] days notice to Seller prior to the effective date of cancellation of such insurance. Iridium shall provide Seller with a copy of the in-orbit third party liability insurance policy. Seller shall be responsible and liable to Iridium for any increase in premium for the in-orbit third party liability insurance resulting from Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.6 Insurance Presentations. Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Iridium, support any and all insurance presentations and technical reviews and claims made as requested by Iridium or any of

10.7 Inter-Party Waiver. In the event Iridium has agreed to the terms of a no-fault, no-subrogation inter-party waiver of liability pursuant to the terms of the launch services agreement with respect to the NEXT Space Segment whereby the parties to the launch services agreement agree not to make claims against each other for loss of, or damage to, property it sustains and for bodily injury or death of its own employees and to flow down the benefits of such agreement to their respective contractors and subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) that are involved in the performance of the launch services agreement and, as a result, Iridium is required to extend such waiver of liability to Seller because Seller is considered to be involved in launch activities, Seller agrees to be bound by such waiver of liability and related indemnity provisions that may be contained in the launch services agreement and to cause its contractors and subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) that are considered to be involved in launch activities in the performance of this Agreement, to the extent required by the launch services agreement, to accede to such waiver. Seller shall execute and deliver any instrument that may be reasonably required by the launch services provider to evidence its agreement to be bound by such waiver and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Iridium, its divisions, subsidiaries, Affiliates, subcontractors, assignees of each, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims and liabilities that result from Seller’s failure to comply with such waiver requirement. In no event shall such no-fault, no-subrogation inter-party waiver and related indemnity provisions have any effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of and between Seller and Iridium under this Agreement. This provision shall be subject to modification, on mutually acceptable terms, to take into consideration any specific requirements of such interparty waiver of liability that may be in addition to or at variance with this paragraph as may be required by the launch services agreement once executed and delivered by the parties to the launch services agreement. In the event the launch services provider under the launch services agreement provides third party liability insurance for the benefit of Iridium and its contractors and subcontractors at any tier (including suppliers of any kind) that are involved in the performance of the launch services agreement, Iridium shall cause the launch services provider to name Seller, its contractors and subcontractors, and the respective employees of each, in each case that are considered to be involved in launch activities in the performance of this Agreement, as additional insureds under such liability insurance and to request the launch services provider to cause the insurers under such third party liability insurance to waive all rights of subrogation against Seller, its contractors and subcontractors, and the respective employees of each, in each case that are considered to be involved in launch activities in the performance of this Agreement to the maximum extent such waiver is available, if at all, in the commercial insurance market for the class of insurance.
