for taxes (a) shall apply only (i) in respect of taxes attributable to the performance of the
Collateral Trustee’s obligations as Collateral Trustee hereunder or under any Guarantee or Security

(2) the enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of any Priority Lien in respect of
the Collateral;
22
(3) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of rights and powers of a holder of
shares of stock included in the Senior Trust Estate to the extent provided in the Security
Documents;
(4) the acceptance of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Priority
Lien Obligations; and
(5) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies of a secured
lender under the UCC or any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction or in equity.
SECTION 2.7 Amendments to Priority Lien Documents and Discretion in Enforcement of
Priority Lien Obligations.
(a) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 2.6 but subject to Section
7.1, the holders of Priority Lien Obligations and the Priority Lien Representatives may, at
any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to holders of Junior Lien
Obligations or the Junior Lien Representatives, without incurring responsibility to holders
of Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Representatives and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of
holders of Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Representatives, do any one or more
of the following:
(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or
renew or alter, the Priority Lien Obligations, or otherwise amend or supplement in any
manner the Priority Lien Obligations, or any instrument evidencing the Priority Lien
Obligations or any agreement under which the Priority Lien Obligations are outstanding
including, without limitation increasing the principal amount thereof and/or the applicable
margin or similar component of interest rate;
(2) release any Person or entity liable in any manner for the collection of the
Priority Lien Obligations;
(3) release the Priority Lien on any Collateral; and
(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Satmex or any Guarantor.
SECTION 2.8 Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceedings.
(a) If in any Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding and
prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of Priority Lien
Obligations by an Act of Required Debtholders consent to any order:
(1) for use of cash collateral;
(2) approving a debtor-in-possession financing secured by a Lien that is senior to or
on a parity with all Priority Liens upon any property of the estate in such Insolvency,
Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding;
23
(3) granting any relief on account of Priority Lien Obligations as adequate protection
(or its equivalent) for the benefit of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations in the
Collateral subject to Priority Liens; or
(4) relating to a sale of assets of Satmex or any Guarantor that provides, to the
extent the Collateral sold is to be free and clear of Liens, that all Priority Liens and
Junior Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale;
then, the holders of Junior Lien Obligations, in their capacity as holders of secured claims and
each Junior Lien Representative, will not oppose or otherwise contest the entry of such order, so
long as none of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations or any Priority Lien Representative in any
respect opposes or otherwise contests any request made by any holder of Junior Lien Obligations or
a Junior Lien Representative for the grant to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the
holders of Junior Lien Obligations, of a junior Lien upon any property on which a Lien is (or is to
be) granted under such order to secure the Priority Lien Obligations, co-extensive in all respects
with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 2.3) to, such Lien and all Priority Liens on such
property; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the holders of Junior Lien
Obligations and the Junior Lien Representatives, in their capacity as holders or representatives of
secured claims, from participating on a pro rata basis in any such debtor-in-possession financing
or from proposing any other debtor-in-possession financing to Satmex or any Guarantor or to a court
of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, both before and during an Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil,
Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding, the holders of Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien
Representatives may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a
holder of unsecured claims, including, without limitation, the commencement of
Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceedings against Satmex or any
Guarantor in accordance with applicable law; provided, that, each holder of Junior Lien Obligations
may not take any of the actions prohibited under Section 2.4(b) or oppose or contest any order that
it has agreed not to oppose or contest under clauses (1) through (4) of the preceding paragraph.
(b) Neither the holders of any Junior Lien Obligations nor any Junior Lien
Representative will file or prosecute in any Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or
Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for
relief) based upon their interest in the Collateral under the Junior Liens, except that:
(1) they may freely seek and obtain relief: (A) granting a junior Lien co-extensive in
all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 2.3) to, all Liens granted in
such Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the
benefit of, the holders of Priority Lien Obligations; or (B) in connection with the
confirmation of any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan; and
24
(2) they may freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection
(or any comparable relief), without any condition or restriction whatsoever, at any time
after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations.
SECTION 2.9 Collateral Shared Equally and Ratably within Class. The parties to this Agreement agree that the payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured
Obligations within each Class will be secured equally and ratably by the Liens established in favor
of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties belonging to such Class
notwithstanding the time of incurrence of any Secured Obligations within such Class or time or
method of creation or perfection of any Liens securing such Secured Obligations within such Class.
It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 2.9 is intended to alter the priorities
among Secured Parties belonging to different Classes as provided in Section 2.3.

powers and remedies as directed by the Secured Parties by an Act of Required Debtholders;

as required by Section 4.1(b).
(b) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and consents to the undertaking of the
Collateral Trustee set forth in Section 3.1(a) and agrees to each of the other provisions of
this Agreement applicable to the Collateral Trustee.
(c) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will not commence any
exercise of remedies or any foreclosure actions or otherwise take any action or proceeding
against any of the Collateral (other than actions it determines, in its sole and absolute
discretion, are necessary to prove, protect or preserve the Liens securing the Secured
Obligations) unless and until it shall have been directed by written notice of an Act of
Required Debtholders and then only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2 Release or Subordination of Liens. The Collateral Trustee will not release or subordinate any Lien of the Collateral Trustee
or consent to the release or subordination of any Lien of the Collateral Trustee, except:

that constitutes an event of default under any Secured Debt Document entitling the Collateral

Debtholders and will act, or decline to act, as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders, in the
exercise and enforcement of the Collateral Trustee’s interests, rights, powers and remedies in
respect of the Collateral or under the Security Documents or applicable law and, following the
initiation of such exercise of remedies, the Collateral Trustee will act, or decline to act, with
respect to the manner of such exercise of remedies as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders.
No holder of Priority Lien Debt other than the Collateral Trustee will be able to exercise rights
or remedies with respect to the Collateral.
26
SECTION 3.4 Application of Proceeds.
(a) The Collateral Trustee will apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure
or other realization upon any Collateral (including distributions of cash, securities or
other property on account of the value of the Collateral in a bankruptcy, insolvency,
concurso mercantile, quiebra, reorganization or similar proceedings) and the proceeds of any
title insurance policy or property insurance policy required under any Priority Lien

proceeds do not arise from an Event of Loss (as defined in the Indenture)) in the following
order of application:
FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the
Collateral Trustee’s fees and expenses and any reasonable and out-of-pocket legal fees,

Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate,
specified in the Priority Lien Documents, even if such interest is found not enforceable,
allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding, and including, if applicable, the
discharge or cash collateralization (at the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount
required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Priority Lien Document) of
all outstanding letters of credit constituting Priority Lien Debt (including the furnishing
of back-up letters of credit or the deemed issuance under a new agreement that is not in

agreement that is not in respect of any Junior Lien Debt and that is not a Junior Lien
Document with the consent of the issuing bank of such outstanding letters of credit); and

in the preceding clauses will be paid to the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, its
successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
(b) At any time prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, if any Junior Lien
Representative or any holder of a Junior Lien Obligation collects or receives any proceeds
of such foreclosure, collection or other enforcement that should have been applied to the
payment of the Priority Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4(a) above, whether
after the commencement of an Insolvency, Concurso
Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such Junior Lien
Representative or such holder of a Junior Lien Obligation, as the case may be, will
forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the holders of the
Priority Lien Obligations and other Obligations secured by a Permitted Prior Lien, to be
applied in accordance with Section 3.4(a). Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held

Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of Priority Liens and Junior Liens. The
Secured Debt Representative of each future Series of Secured Debt will be required to
deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder including a lien sharing and priority confirmation as
provided in Section 3.8 to the Collateral Trustee and each other Secured Debt Representative
at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.
(d) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 3.4(a), to the
extent directed by an Act of Required Debtholders, the Collateral Trustee may sell any

SECTION 3.5 Powers of the Collateral Trustee.
(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and

powers and remedies under the Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act
as set forth in this Article 3 or as requested in any lawful directions given to it from
time to time in writing in respect of any matter by an Act of Required Debtholders (or an
act of Required Junior Lien Debtholders to the extent provided for herein).
(b) Except as set forth herein, no Secured Debt Representative or holder of Secured
Obligations will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral
Trustee.
SECTION 3.6 Protection of Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may from time to time, at its option, but shall not be obligated to,
perform any act which Satmex or any Guarantor agrees hereunder to perform and which Satmex or such
Guarantor shall fail to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it
being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Secured Debt Default) and the Collateral Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, from time to time take any other action which the Collateral Trustee reasonably deems necessary
for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security
interest therein.
SECTION 3.7 Documents and Communications. The Collateral Trustee will permit each Secured Debt Representative and each holder of
Secured Obligations upon reasonable written notice from time to time to inspect and copy, at the
cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Security Documents and other
documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received by the Collateral Trustee
in its capacity as such.
SECTION 3.8 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of Holders of Secured Obligations. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the
Collateral at any time transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and
remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of
the Trust Estates solely and exclusively for the benefit of the current and future holders of
current and future Secured Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in
realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions
of Section 3.4.
29
SECTION 3.9 Additional Secured Debt.
(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as collateral trustee hereunder, perform its
undertakings set forth in Section 3.1(a) with respect to each holder of Secured Obligations
of a Series of Secured Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof that:
(1) holds Secured Obligations that are identified as Priority Lien Obligations or
Junior Lien Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b); and
(2) signs, through its designated Secured Debt Representative identified pursuant to
Section 3.8(b), a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee.
(b) Satmex will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Secured
Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the registered holder of Priority
Lien Obligations or the registered holder of Junior Lien Debt incurred by Satmex after the
date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Secured Debt
Documents. Satmex may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee
an Additional Secured Debt Designation stating:
(1) that Satmex intends to incur additional Secured Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”)
which will either be (i) Priority Lien Obligations permitted by each
applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a Priority Lien equally and ratably
with all previously existing and future Priority Lien Obligations or (ii) Junior Lien Debt
permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured with a Junior Lien equally
and ratably with all previously existing and future Junior Lien Debt;
(2) the name and address of the Secured Debt Representative for such series of
Additional Secured Debt for purposes of Section 7.7.
(3) that Satmex and each Guarantor has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and
recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant
filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by the
Collateral in accordance with the Security Documents;
(4) that attached as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Secured Debt Designation is a
Reaffirmation Agreement duly executed by Satmex and each Guarantor, which Reaffirmation
Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A hereto; and
(5) that Satmex has caused a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation and the
related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Secured Debt
Representative.
Although Satmex shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Secured Debt Designation and
each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Secured Debt Representative, the failure to so
deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing
Secured Debt Representatives shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Secured Debt if
the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Each of the Collateral Trustee and
the other then existing Secured Debt Representative shall have the right to receive from Satmex an
Opinion of Counsel as to the Additional Secured Debt being secured by a valid and perfected
security interest; provided, however, that such legal opinion or opinions need not address any
collateral of a type or located in a jurisdiction not previously covered by any legal opinion
delivered by or on behalf of Satmex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will
be construed to allow Satmex or any Guarantor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise
permitted by the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents.
30
SECTION 3.10 Investments. (a) Unless a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral
Trustee shall invest and reinvest moneys deposited into a Collateral Proceeds Account at any time
in Cash Equivalents as directed in writing by Satmex. All such investments of funds, the interest
and income received thereon and the net proceeds realized on the sale or redemption thereof shall
be as part of the Trust Estates. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for the
selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Trustee shall
have no liability in respect of the losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
investments prior to its stated maturity or the failure of Satmex, any Guarantor, or any Secured
Party to provide timely written direction.
(b) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest the amounts
deposited in the Collateral Proceeds Account if deposited with the Collateral Trustee after 11:00
a.m., New York time, on such day of deposit. Instructions received after 11:00 a.m., New York
time, will be treated as if received on the following Business Day. Any proceeds, payments, income
or other gain from investments in Cash Equivalents made in respect of funds in or credited to the
Collateral Proceeds Account shall be credited to the Collateral Proceeds Account. Satmex shall be
liable for any loss incurred on funds invested in any Cash Equivalents directed by it. Any
interest or other income received on such investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Collateral
Proceeds Account shall become part of the Collateral Proceeds Account and any losses incurred on
such investment and reinvestment of the amounts in the Collateral Proceeds Account shall be debited
against the amounts in the Collateral Proceeds Account. It is agreed and understood that the
Collateral Trustee may earn fees associated with the Cash Equivalents in accordance with the terms
of the Cash Equivalents. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be deemed an investment manager
or adviser in respect of any selection of Cash Equivalents hereunder. It is understood and agreed
that the Collateral Trustee or its affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that
could be deemed to be in the Collateral Trustee’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Cash Equivalents, (2) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain
Cash Equivalents and (3) effecting transactions in Cash Equivalents.

Document (including the furnishing of back-up letters of credit or the deemed issuance under
a new agreement that is not in respect of any Secured Debt and that is not a Secured Debt
Document with the consent of the issuing bank of such outstanding letters of credit);
31
(2) as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the

4.10 of the Indenture and is permitted by all of the other Secured Debt Documents, at the
time of such sale, transfer or other disposition to the extent of the interest sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided, that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the
Collateral will not be released if the sale or disposition is subject to Section 5.01 of the
Indenture;
(3) as to a release of less than all or substantially all of Priority Liens on such
Collateral, if (a) consent to release of that Collateral has been given by an Act of
Required Debtholders, (b) such release is in connection with a transaction or circumstance

the Collateral Trustee at any time receives:
(1) an Officers’ Certificate stating that (A) the signing officer has read Article 4 of
this Agreement and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such
officer has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to
express an informed opinion as to whether or not the conditions precedent in this Agreement
and all other Secured Debt Documents, if any, relating to the release of the Collateral have
been complied with and (C) in the opinion of such officer, such conditions precedent, if
any, have been complied with; and
(2) the proposed instrument or instruments releasing such Lien as to such property in
recordable form, if applicable; and
(3) with respect to Section 4.1(a)(1), an Opinion of Counsel that such release is
permitted by Section 4.1(a)(1);
32
then the Collateral Trustee will promptly execute (with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations
as are required) and deliver such release to Satmex or the applicable Guarantor on
the date specified in such request for such release; provided that the Collateral Trustee shall
have received the items required by this Section 4.1(b) on or prior to such specified date.
(c) The Collateral Trustee hereby agrees that in the case of any release pursuant to
clause (2) of Section 4.1(a), if the terms of any such sale, transfer or other disposition
require the payment of the purchase price to be contemporaneous with the delivery of the
applicable release, then, at the written request of and at the expense of Satmex or the
applicable Guarantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) be present at and deliver the
release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow
arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release.
SECTION 4.2 Delivery of Copies to Secured Debt Representatives. Satmex will deliver to each Secured Debt Representative a copy of each Officers’
Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b), together with copies of
all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate. The Secured
Debt Representatives will not be obligated to take notice thereof or to act thereon, subject to
Section 4.1(d).
SECTION 4.3 Collateral Trustee not Required to Serve, File or Record. The Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument
releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral; provided, however, that if Satmex or any
Guarantor shall make a written demand for the execution, if required, of a termination statement
under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC, the Collateral Trustee shall comply with such written request of
Satmex or such Guarantor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision, if the applicable
Secured Debt Representative(s) have confirmed in writing to the Collateral Trustee that the
requirements of such UCC provisions have been satisfied.
SECTION 4.4 Release of Liens in Respect of Notes. The Collateral Trustee’s Priority Lien will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under
the Indenture or any other Obligations under the Indenture, and the right of the holders of the
Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Priority Lien
on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged upon receipt by the Collateral Trustee from the
Trustee of written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate as to:
(1) satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as set forth under Article 12 of the
Indenture;
(2) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance (each as defined under the Indenture) of

reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not
set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Security Documents will be
binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole
option, to accept such direction.
SECTION 5.5 Limitation of Liability. (a) The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Security Document, except for its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision.
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Collateral Trustee be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
even if the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.
(c) The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to this Agreement (except for its
gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing such action).
(d) In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any Secured Debt Representative or any failure or delay in the performance by an Secured
Debt Representative of its obligations under the Secured Debt Documents, and the Collateral Trustee
shall have no duty to monitor or supervise any Secured Debt Representative or its performance of
its obligations pursuant to the Secured Debt Documents.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Secured Debt Documents or Security Documents to
the contrary, the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral
Trustee under this Agreement shall be afforded to the Collateral Trustee in respect of the
performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the Secured Debt Documents and Security
Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Collateral Trustee shall have no
obligation to execute and deliver any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to any Secured
Debt Document or Security Document which affects its own rights, duties, immunities or indemnities
under this Agreement, such Secured Debt Document or Security Document or otherwise.
(f) In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond the Collateral Trustee’s
control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared),
terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action including any laws, ordinances, regulations,
governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services
contemplated by this Agreement.
35
SECTION 5.6 Documents in Satisfactory Form. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates,
opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly
provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to it.
SECTION 5.7 Entitled to Rely. (a) The Collateral Trustee may seek and may conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully
protected from acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any judicial order or judgment,
upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts
selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice, resolution, request,
statement, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other written document (whether
in its original or facsimile form) or other writing delivered to it by (x) Satmex or any Guarantor
in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, (y) any Secured Debt Representative as to the
holders of Secured Obligations for whom it acts, or (z) any other Person permitted to make such
delivery in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, in each case without being required
to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the
propriety or validity of service thereof. The parties recognize that the accuracy and completeness
of information supplied by the Collateral Trustee hereunder maybe dependent upon the accuracy and
completeness of the information received by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the preceding
sentence. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the
provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may
assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or
execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has
been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel is
required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of
any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be full
warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, not taken, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.
(b) Upon any application or demand by Satmex to the Collateral Trustee to take or permit any
action under the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Debt Document or any Security Document,
Satmex shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement, in any relevant Secured Debt Document and/or
Security Document relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and in the case of any
such application or demand as to which the furnishing of any
document is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement, any Secured Debt
Document or any Security Document relating to such particular application or demand, such
additional document shall also be furnished to the Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 5.8 Secured Debt Default. The Collateral Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Secured Debt Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Trustee shall not have received written notification
and will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Secured Debt Default and
will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any
Secured Debt Default unless and until it is directed in writing by an Act of Required Debtholders
(or an act of Required Junior Lien Debtholders to the extent provided herein). Neither the
Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall have
any duty to monitor or to inquire as to the performance of Satmex’s or any Guarantor’s covenants
herein or in any Secured Debt Document or any Security Document, or as to the performance by any
agent of its duties hereunder, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance
or nonfeasance of any such party.
36
SECTION 5.9 Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Security
Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by an Act
of Required Debtholders (or an act of Required Junior Lien Debtholders to the extent provided
herein) and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted
pursuant to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the holders of Secured Obligations.
SECTION 5.10 Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action at the direction of any
Priority Lien Representative or any holder of any Priority Lien Obligations or to advance or expend
any of its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or
the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability or expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. None of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Collateral Trustee to perform, or be
responsible for the manner or omission of performance of, any of the duties or obligations of the
holders of Priority Liens, any Secured Debt Representative, Satmex, any Guarantor or any Person
other than the Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement
and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document. In the event
there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any
of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with
Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the
Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances
then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or
not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from
taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by
a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a
court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.
(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its
possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or
as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto
and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or
times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral.
The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of
the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which it accords its own property (unless the Collateral Trustee is directed in
writing in accordance with the terms hereof to treat the Collateral otherwise) and the
Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value
of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency
or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith.
37
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be
responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral,
whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its
part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee, for the validity or
sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the
validity of the title of Satmex or any Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the
Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or
otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims
any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Secured Obligations
concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any of
the Collateral.
(c) Except as set forth herein or expressly instructed by any Secured Party, subject to
Section 5.10, the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to give, execute, deliver,
file, record, authorize or obtain any financing statements, notices, instruments, documents,
agreements, consents or other papers as shall be necessary to create, preserve, perfect or
validate the security interest granted pursuant to any Security Document or to enable the
Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder
with respect to such pledge and security interest, and the Collateral Trustee has no
responsibility or liability (i) in connection with the acts or omissions of Satmex, any
Guarantor or any Secured Party in respect of the foregoing or (ii) for or with respect to
the legality, validity and enforceability of any security interest created in the Collateral
or the perfection and priority of such security interest.
(d) Unless a Secured Debt Default has occurred, the Collateral Trustee shall be
obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and the Security Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement or any Security Document against the Collateral Trustee. After the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Secured Debt Default, the Collateral Trustee
shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the Security
Documents.
(e) No provision of this Agreement, any Secured Debt Document or any Security Document
shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Trustee to perform any
act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in
any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal to perform any such act or acts or to exercise
any such right, power, duty or obligation.
38
SECTION 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(1) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Security Documents
(other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their
respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not
be executed;
(2) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers
hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations
under the other Security Documents; and
(3) the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
duties of any of the parties thereunder other than the Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any
reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any
trust obligation for the benefit of another, which may cause the Collateral Trustee to be
considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral
Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other
federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such
action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or
control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to
any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions
under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s
actions and conduct as
authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release
or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.
ARTICLE 6. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE
SECTION 6.1 Resignation or Removal of Collateral Trustee. Subject to the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 6.2 and
the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee:
(a) the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’
notice of resignation to each Secured Debt Representative and Satmex; and
(b) the Collateral Trustee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an Act
of Required Debtholders.
SECTION 6.2 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by an
Act of Required Debtholders. If no successor Collateral Trustee has been so appointed and accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation
or was removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of Satmex), at its option,
appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for
appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee, which must be a bank or trust company:
(1) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers;
(2) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000;
39
(4) that is not a Secured Debt Representative.
The Collateral Trustee will fulfill its obligations hereunder until a successor Collateral
Trustee meeting the requirements of this Section 6.2 has accepted its appointment as Collateral
Trustee and the provisions of Section 6.3 have been satisfied. Notwithstanding resignation or
replacement of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.2, the predecessor Collateral
Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and Satmex and
the Guarantor’s obligations under the provisions of Sections 7.10 and 7.11 shall continue for the
benefit of the resigning or retiring Collateral Trustee. Within 30 days after such resignation or
replacement, Satmex and the Guarantors agree to pay all compensation and fees and expenses which
are due and payable to such retiring or replaced Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 6.3 Succession. When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Trustee accepts such appointment:
(1) such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Trustee, and the predecessor Collateral
Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and
(2) the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of Satmex) promptly execute
all documents provided to it in order to transfer all Liens and collateral security and
other property of the Trust Estates within its possession or control to the possession or
control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will execute instruments and assignments as
may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Trustee to
transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and
remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Security Documents or the
Trust Estates.
The predecessor Collateral Trustee will not be held responsible or liable for any action or
inaction of the successor Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 6.4 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or to which the Collateral Trustee has sold its corporate
trust business substantially as a whole, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral
Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement, the Security
Documents and the Secured Debt Documents, without the execution or filing of any paper with any
party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an
instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, provided, that,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements
specified in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 6.2. Upon any such merger, conversion or
consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified Satmex, each Priority Lien Representative
and each Junior Lien Representative thereof in writing, provided that the failure to provide such
notification shall not affect the succession of such successor Collateral Trustee under this
Agreement, the Security Documents or and the Secured Debt Documents.
40
SECTION 6.5 Co-Collateral Trustee; Separate Collateral Trustee. (a) If at any time or
times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which
any of the Collateral shall be located, or to avoid any violation of law or imposition on the
Collateral Trustee of taxes by such jurisdiction not otherwise imposed on the Collateral Trustee,
or the Collateral Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or
prudent in the interest of the holders of Secured Debt, or by an Act of Required Debtholders shall
request the Collateral Trustee and Satmex, or the Collateral Trustee shall deem it desirable for
its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Secured Debt Document,
the Collateral Trustee and Satmex shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by
the Collateral Trustee and, unless a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Satmex, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees or agent or bailee of all or any of the
Collateral under this Agreement or under any of the Security Documents, jointly with the Collateral
Trustee originally named herein or therein or any successor Collateral Trustee, or to act as
separate trustee or trustees or agent or bailee of any of the Collateral. If Satmex shall not have
joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 10 Business Days after it
receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Secured Debt Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of
this subsection without the concurrence of Satmex and execute and deliver such instruments and
agreements on behalf of Satmex. Satmex hereby appoints the Collateral Trustee as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this subsection in either of such
contingencies.
(b) Every separate trustee and every co-trustee, other than any successor Collateral
Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.2, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Collateral Trustee in
respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, papers or securities shall be
exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee or any agent appointed by the Collateral Trustee;
(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Collateral Trustee hereunder and under the relevant Guarantee or Security Document shall be
conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Trustee and such separate
trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly, as shall be provided in
the instrument appointing such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or
co-trustees, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, or unless the performance of such act or acts would
result in the imposition of any tax on the Collateral Trustee which would not be imposed
absent such joint act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee
or co-trustees;
41
(iii) no power given hereby or by the relevant Guarantee or Security Documents to, or
which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or
co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees, shall be exercised hereunder or
thereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees except
jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Trustee, anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder, and
(v) Satmex and the Collateral Trustee, at any time by an instrument in writing executed
by them jointly, may (and, at the direction of an Act of Required Debtholders, shall) accept
the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and, in that case by an
instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may appoint a successor to such separate
trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. If Satmex shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument
within 10 Business Days after it receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to
do so, or if a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral
Trustee shall have the power to (and, at the direction of an Act of Required Debtholders,
shall) accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to
appoint a successor without the concurrence of Satmex, Satmex hereby appointing the
Collateral Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in such
contingency. If the Collateral Trustee shall have appointed a separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above provided, the Collateral Trustee may at any
time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate
trustee or co-trustee and the successor to any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall be
appointed by Satmex and the Collateral Trustee, or by the Collateral Trustee alone pursuant
to this subsection.

Collateral (including providing for entering into additional, supplemental or replacement

any holder of Secured Obligations:
(A) to vote its outstanding Secured Debt as to any matter described as subject
to an Act of Required Debtholders or an act of Required Junior Lien Debtholders (or
amends the provisions of this clause (2) or the definition of “Act of Required
Debtholders” or “Required Junior Lien Debtholders”),
(B) to share in the order of application described in Section 3.4 in the
proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral that has not been

(C) to require that Liens securing Secured Obligations be released only as set
forth in the provisions described in Section 4.1,
will become effective without the consent of the requisite percentage or number of holders
of each Series of Secured Debt so affected under the applicable Secured Debt Documents; and
(3) no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Trustee
or any Secured Debt Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Trustee
or any Secured Debt Representative, respectively, in its capacity as such will become

respectively.
(4) any amendment or supplement to the provisions of the Security Documents that

supplement that results in the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral no longer
securing the Notes and the other Obligations under the Indenture may only be effected in
accordance with the provisions described above in Section 4.4.
43
(b) The Collateral Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement unless it
has received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such amendment or supplement will
not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Secured Debt
Documents. Prior to executing any amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section 7.1, the
Collateral Trustee shall receive an Opinion of Counsel of Satmex to the effect that the
execution of such document is authorized or permitted hereunder, and with respect to
amendments adding Collateral, an Opinion of Counsel of Satmex addressing customary creation
and perfection, and if such additional Collateral consists of Equity Interests of any Person
which Equity Interests constitute
certificated securities, priority matters with respect to such additional Collateral
(which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and qualifications).
(c) The holders of Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Representatives agree
that each Security Document that secures Junior Lien Obligations (but not also securing
Priority Lien Obligations) will include the following or similar language:
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to
the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by such
Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, dated
as of May 26, 2011, among Satélites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., the Guarantors from time to time party
thereto, Wilmington Trust FSB, as Trustee under the Indenture (as defined therein) and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Collateral Trustee (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated
or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Collateral Trust Agreement”). In the
event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement and this Agreement, the
terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement will govern.”
; provided, however, that if the jurisdiction in which any such Junior Lien Document will be filed
prohibits the inclusion of the language above or would prevent a document containing such language
from being recorded, the Junior Lien Representatives and the Priority Lien Representatives agree,
prior to such Junior Lien Document being entered into, to negotiate in good faith replacement
language stating that the lien and security interest granted under such Junior Lien Document is
subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.2 Voting. In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Secured
Obligations, each Series of Secured Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Secured Debt
Documents governing such Series of Secured Debt by a notice delivered by the applicable Secured
Debt Representative to the Collateral Trustee. Hedging Obligations and Banking Product Obligations
will not be considered for purposes of voting by holders of Secured Obligations under this
Agreement unless the only Secured Obligations outstanding are Hedging Obligations or Banking
Product Obligations and documents evidencing such Hedging Obligations and Banking Product
Obligations that are equally and ratably secured with the other Secured Obligations expressly
provide that such Hedging Obligations and Banking Product Obligations remain secured by the
Collateral when they are the only Secured Obligations remaining. The amount of Secured Obligations
to be voted by a Series of Secured Debt will equal (1) the
44
aggregate principal amount of Secured
Debt held by such Series of Secured Debt (including, if provided for in the applicable Secured Debt
Document, outstanding letters of credit whether or not then available or drawn), plus (2) if
provided for in the applicable Secured Debt Document, the aggregate principal amount of unfunded
commitments to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Indebtedness of such Series of
Secured Debt. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under its
Secured Debt Documents, the Secured Debt Representative of each Series of Secured Debt will vote
the total amount of Secured Debt under that Series of Secured Debt as a block in respect of any
vote under this Agreement and the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively without
further
investigation on such block vote of the Secured Debt Representatives and shall not be held
responsible for the exercise of any such voting rights described herein.
SECTION 7.3 Further Assurances; Insurance.
(a) Each of the Grantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be
required, or that the Collateral Trustee when acting in accordance with an Act of Required
Debtholders, from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the
Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of Secured Obligations, duly
created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral, in each case, as
contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Secured Debt Documents.
Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent any security interest in the Collateral cannot
be perfected on or prior to the date hereof, after the use of all commercially reasonable
efforts (other than any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by the
filing of a UCC financing statement or other filings or registrations under any Mexican
public registries or the delivery of stock certificates), Satmex and each of the Guarantors
will cause all such security interests to be perfected (to the extent required by the
Security Documents) on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the date hereof. To the
extent that any such security interests are perfected subsequently, Satmex will be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto and any default or event of default
under any Secured Debt Document with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.
(b) Satmex and the other Grantors will:
(1) keep their properties insured as is customary with companies in the same or similar
businesses and industry by financially sound and reputable insurers;
(2) maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks (and with such
deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against, as
is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses and industry, including public
liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring
upon, in, about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or
controlled by them;
(3) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and
45
(4) maintain such other insurance as may be required by the Indenture and the Security
Documents, if any, to the extent such insurance is available on commercially reasonable
terms.
(c) Within thirty (30) days following any date on which Satmex is required or permitted
to obtain insurance pursuant to Section 4.20 of the Indenture, Satmex shall deliver to the
Collateral Trustee an insurance certificate certifying the amount of insurance then carried
and in full force and effect. In addition, Satmex shall cause to be delivered to the
Collateral Trustee no less than once each year an insurance
certificate setting forth the amount of insurance then carried and in full force and
effect, which insurance certificate shall entitle the Collateral Trustee to: (y) notice of
any claim in excess of $1.0 million under any such insurance policy; and (z) at least thirty
(30) days’ notice from the provider of such insurance prior to the cancellation of any such
insurance.
(d) Satmex or the applicable Grantor shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide
evidence that (x) the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is named as

50
SECTION 7.11 Indemnity.
(a) Satmex and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify, pay and
hold harmless the Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates and each and all of the directors,
officers, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents, and (in each case) their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, an
“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Indemnitee
will be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liability to
the extent such Indemnified Liability is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee.
(b) All amounts due under this Section 7.11 will be payable upon demand.
(c) Satmex and the Guarantors will never assert any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any theory of liability, for any lost profits or special, indirect or consequential damages
or (to the fullest extent a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived) any punitive
damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other
Secured Debt Document or any agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or
relating in any respect to any Indemnified Liability, and Satmex and each of the Guarantors
hereby forever waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such lost
profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful) punitive
damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(d) The agreements in this Section 7.11 will survive repayment of all other Secured
Obligations, any termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the
Collateral Trustee.
(f) When the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Secured Debt
Default occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
(g) All indemnities to be paid under this Agreement, shall be payable immediately when due in
U.S. dollars (the “Dollars”) in the full amount due, without deduction for any variation in any
Rate of Exchange (as defined below). Satmex and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify the Collateral
Trustee against any losses incurred by such the Collateral Trustee as a result of any judgment or
order being given or made for the amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed
and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars and as a result of any
variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the dollar amount is converted into Judgment
Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the Rate of Exchange at which the
Collateral Trustee is then able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency
actually received by the Collateral Trustee. The indemnity set forth in this paragraph shall
constitute a separate and independent obligation of Satmex and the
Guarantors and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order
as aforesaid. The term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the Collateral Trustee is able
to purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency on the foreign exchange market on the relevant date
and shall include any premiums and other reasonable costs of exchange payable in connection with
the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

respects and of all remaining provisions, and of such provision in all other jurisdictions, will
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

considered a part of this Agreement and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or
provisions hereof.

this Agreement shall be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the

personal jurisdiction over such party in any such proceeding in any such court and otherwise
constitutes effective and binding service in every respect; and

permitted by law.
52
SECTION 7.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement waives its rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of
action based upon or arising under this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or any
dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the intents and purposes
of the other Security Documents. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of
any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this
Agreement and the other Security Documents, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges
that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each party
hereto has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each party
hereto will continue to rely on this waiver in its related future dealings. Each party hereto
further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it
knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.
This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing (other
than by a mutual written waiver specifically referring to this Section 7.17 and executed by each of
the parties hereto), and this waiver will apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements
or modifications of or to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or to any other
documents or agreements relating thereto. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed
as a written consent to a trial by the court.
SECTION 7.18 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or

is required by any Secured Debt Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to
this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver
to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the
terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date
hereof. Satmex shall promptly provide each Secured Debt Representative with a copy of each
Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.20; provided, however,
that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Secured
Debt Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Guarantor if the other
requirements of this Section 7.20 are complied with.
53
SECTION 7.21 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement, including the subordination provisions hereof, will be reinstated if at any
time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the Priority Lien Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding
or otherwise by any holder of Priority Lien Obligations or Priority Lien Representative or any
representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise). In the
event that all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the Priority Lien
Obligations is recovered from any holder of Priority Lien Obligations or any Priority Lien
Representative in an Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding or
otherwise, such payment or distribution received by any holder of Junior Lien Obligations or Junior
Lien Representative with respect to the Junior Lien Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral
or any title insurance policy required by any real property mortgage at any time after the date of
the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or
otherwise, that Junior Lien Representative or that holder of a Junior Lien Obligation, as the case
may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the holders
of the Priority Lien Obligations and other Obligations secured by a Permitted Prior Lien, to be
applied in accordance with Section 3.4. Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by that
Junior Lien Representative or that holder of a Junior Lien Obligation, as the case may be, for the
benefit of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations and other Obligations secured by a
Permitted Prior Lien.

“subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled
“Bankruptcy,” as now and hereafter in effect, or any successor statute, which will be effective
before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or
Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person
as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency, Concurso
Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement will be applicable both before and
after the commencement of any Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil, Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding by
or against any Grantor. The relative rights, as provided for in this Agreement, will continue
after the commencement of any such Insolvency, Concurso Mercantil,
Quiebra or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the commencement
of any such case, as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.23 Rights and Immunities of Secured Debt Representatives. The Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
set forth in the Indenture and any future Secured Debt Representative will be entitled to all of
the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or
other agreement governing the applicable Secured Debt with respect to which such Person will act as
representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Secured

Trustee hereunder.
