1.B(10) ***

1.B(11) Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is SES-LA’s intention to procure commercial launch and in-orbit insurance covering the Net Book Value of the Satellite *** based on an allocation of such Net Book Value to the various payloads on the Satellite, as determined by mutual agreement of SES-LA, Customer, DISH Network and EchoStar subsequent to execution of the Construction Contract (and subject to later modification by mutual agreement of such parties). The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted as necessary to reflect the original or modified allocation (e.g., the formula in clause (e) of Subsection 2.H(3), *** Attachment B, and the terms and conditions referencing a Failed Payload may need adjustment). Upon the request of SES-LA, Customer, DISH Network or EchoStar, SES-LA, Customer, DISH Network and EchoStar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon the original allocation or a modified allocation. ***

1.B(12) SES-LA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain specific payload-level insurance coverage (i.e., in the initial launch coverage and the subsequent in-orbit coverages), consistent with the allocation of Net Book Value determined under Subsection 1.B(11). During such periods of the Service Term in which no such payload-level coverage exists, the references to “Failed Payload” in Subsection 2.A(3), Subsection 2.C(2), Subsection 5.B(1) and Subsection 7.B(1) shall be disregarded.
