Trustee shall be authorized to take such action for which the consent or approval of the Requisite

of Default to the Collateral Trustee.
(b) Upon either (i) the delivery of a Notice of Default in accordance with Section 3.1 (a) or
(ii) the occurrence of an Automatic Enforcement Event, an “Enforcement Period” shall automatically
commence without any other or further action.

any First Priority Document, and (ii) if, during such Enforcement Period, the Collateral Trustee
has taken any action to exercise any material remedy against any First Priority Collateral or under
any First Priority Document, the first date thereafter that any such action can in the sole
discretion of the Collateral Trustee be reversed, suspended, or withdrawn without undue difficulty.
(d) A Notice of Cancellation of Enforcement shall not constitute any waiver, admission or

and continuance of any Event of Default under the First Priority Securities Facility shall not be
affected in any manner whatsoever by the delivery of a Notice of Cancellation of Enforcement.
(e) The Collateral Trustee shall promptly notify Satmex and the Indenture Trustee upon receipt
of any Notice of Default or Notice of Cancellation of Enforcement and shall provide Satmex and the
Indenture Trustee with a copy of any such Notice of Default or Notice of Cancellation of
Enforcement, provided, however, that any failure of the Collateral Trustee to comply with this
Section 3.1(e) shall have no effect on the validity or effectiveness of any Notice of Default,
Enforcement Period, or Notice of Cancellation of Enforcement and shall not impair any of the
rights, powers, and remedies of the Collateral Trustee, Indenture Trustee, or First Priority
Holders under this Trust Agreement or any other First Priority Document.
(f) During an Enforcement Period, the Collateral Trustee may (but in the absence of direction
from the Requisite First Priority Holders shall not be required to) take any action to exercise any
remedies that are (i) permitted under any of the First Priority Documents or applicable law, and
(ii) not inconsistent with any written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by the Requisite
First Priority Holders under Section 3.5(b).

Agreement, nothing shall limit the right of the Collateral Trustee to take any and all actions at
any time that the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect and preserve the First Priority
Collateral and the rights of the Collateral Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the First Priority
Holders, provided, however, that (x) no such action shall be inconsistent with any written
direction of the Requisite First Priority Holders under Section 3.5(b) or the provisions of the
other First Priority Documents, and (y) in the absence of written direction from the Requisite
First Priority Holders under Section 3.5(b), the Collateral Trustee shall not foreclose on any
First Priority Collateral or enforce any judgment entered on account of any First Priority
Guarantee. The Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Holders, the Company, and each of the First
Priority Guarantors expressly authorize the Collateral Trustee to take the protective and
preservative actions described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Priority Guarantees or any of the First Priority Security Documents and (b) may proceed by suit or
suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon the First Priority
Collateral and to sell all or, from time to time, any of the Trust Estate or First Priority
Collateral under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

filing of a xxxx in equity or other commencement of judicial or other proceedings to enforce the
rights of the Collateral Trustee under this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any
First Priority Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, without notice to Satmex or the First Priority Guarantors or any party claiming
through Satmex or the First Priority Guarantors, without regard to the solvency or insolvency at
the time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the First Priority Obligations,
without regard to the then value of the Trust Estate, and without requiring any bond from any
complainant in such proceedings, be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver
or receivers (who may be a Collateral Trustee) of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and of the
rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income thereof, pending such
proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry
of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income
of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Trust Estate be segregated, sequestered
and impounded for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, and Satmex and
each of the First Priority Guarantors irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or
receivers and to the entry of such order; provided that, notwithstanding the appointment of
any receiver, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to retain possession and control, pursuant
to the terms of the Trust Agreement, of all cash and Cash Equivalents held by or deposited with it
pursuant to this Trust Agreement or any other First Priority Document.
3.5

the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Trustee as set forth in any First Priority

that such direction shall not conflict with any provision of applicable law or of this Trust
Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document and the Collateral
Trustee shall be reasonably secured or indemnified as provided in subsection 8.4(d).
3.6 Remedies Not Exclusive.
(a) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Trustee herein or in any First
Priority Guarantee or First Priority Security Document is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy conferred herein, in any First Priority Guarantee or in any First Priority Security
Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
(b) No delay by the Collateral Trustee in exercising or failure by the Collateral Trustee to
exercise any right, remedy or power hereunder or under any First Priority Guarantee or First
Priority Security Document shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be
a waiver thereof or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given to the Collateral
Trustee under this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security
Document may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the
Collateral Trustee or the Requisite First Priority Holders.
(c) If the Collateral Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under
this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document, such
enforcement to be pursuant to the directions of the Requisite First Priority Holders and the
proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Trustee, then Satmex, the Collateral Trustee
and the Secured Parties shall, subject to any effect of or determination in such proceeding,
severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder or thereunder
with respect to the Trust Estate and in all other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and
powers of the Collateral Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims upon or under this Trust
Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be enforced by the Collateral Trustee without the possession of
any First Priority Document or instrument evidencing any First Priority Obligation or the
production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any suit or proceeding
instituted by the Collateral Trustee shall be, subject to subsections 8.5(c) and 8.10(b)(ii),
brought in its name as Collateral Trustee and any recovery of judgment shall be held as part of the
Trust Estate.
3.7 Waiver and Estoppel.
14
(a) Each of Satmex and the First Priority Guarantors hereby agrees, to the extent it may do so
lawfully, that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim, or take the benefit or
advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law,
or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the First Priority Collateral shall be sold,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance
or enforcement of this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security
Document and waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of all such
laws, and Satmex hereby covenants, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Collateral Trustee in this Trust
Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law were in force.
(b) Each of Satmex and the First Priority Guarantors, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on
behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including, without limitation, any and
all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, (i) waives and releases all rights to
demand or to have any marshalling of the First Priority Collateral upon any sale, whether made

action taken by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the First Priority Collateral.
3.8 Limitation on Collateral Trustee’s Duty in Respect of First Priority Collateral.
Beyond its duties as to the custody, safekeeping and preservation thereof expressly provided herein
or in any First Priority Security Document and to account to the Secured Parties, Satmex and the
First Priority Guarantors for moneys and other property received by them hereunder or under any
First Priority Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall not have any duty to Satmex, the
First Priority Guarantors or to the Secured Parties as to any First Priority Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any of its agents or nominees, or any
income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto.
3.9 Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided herein may be
exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of
law, and all the provisions hereof are intended to be subject to all applicable provisions of law
which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render
this Trust Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1 The Collateral Account.
16
(a) On the Effective Date there shall be established and, at all times thereafter until the
trusts created by this Trust Agreement shall have terminated, there shall be maintained with the
Collateral Trustee at the U.S. office of the Collateral Trustee’s corporate trust division, a
collateral account, in the name of the Collateral Trustee which shall be entitled the “Satmex
Collateral Account” (the “Collateral Account”). All cash deposits, monies and proceeds of First
Priority Collateral required to be held or otherwise received by the Collateral Trustee pursuant
hereto or pursuant to any First Priority Document or otherwise shall be deposited in the Collateral
Account and held as part of the Trust Estate. The Collateral Account shall be subdivided into two
sub-accounts, designated as the “Enforcement Proceeds Sub-Account” and the “First
Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account” (each, a
“Sub-Account” all of which shall
be non-interest bearing trust accounts (except to the extent invested in Cash Equivalents)).
(b) All cash deposits, monies, and proceeds of First Priority Collateral which are required by
this Trust Agreement or any First Priority Document to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee or
which are received by the Collateral Trustee or any agent or nominee of the Collateral Trustee in
respect of the First Priority Collateral or the First Priority Guarantees, whether in connection
with the exercise of the remedies provided in this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or
any First Priority Security Document or otherwise, while an Enforcement Period is in effect, shall
be deposited in the Enforcement Proceeds Sub-Account and, in each case, held by the Collateral
Trustee as part of the Trust Estate and applied in accordance with the terms of this Trust
Agreement. Upon the termination of any Enforcement Period pursuant to subsection 3.1(c), the
Collateral Trustee shall (subject to subsection 4.4) cause all funds on deposit in the Enforcement
Proceeds Sub-Account, together with all interest and income on such amounts, to be deposited in the
First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account for application in accordance with the
terms of Section 4 hereof and for use by Satmex in accordance with Section 4.35(b) of the First
Priority Indenture.
(c) All moneys constituting First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Account Proceeds
which are delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.2 and 4.35 of the First
Priority Indenture or otherwise, while an Enforcement Period is not in effect, shall be deposited
in the First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account and held by the Collateral Trustee
as part of the Trust Estate and applied in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.35 of the First
Priority Indenture. Upon the receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a Notice of Default, all amounts
on deposit in the First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account shall automatically be
deemed to be held in, and shall be transferred to the Enforcement Proceeds Sub-Account; provided,
that all amounts so transferred from the First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account
to the Enforcement Proceeds Sub-Account, together with all interest and income on such amounts,
shall be returned to the First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account under the
circumstances set forth in subsection 4.1(b).
(d) Satmex may, by delivery to the Collateral Trustee of a Proceeds Release Request, at any
time, request a release of funds from the First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account
for any use in the aggregate amount permitted by Sections 3.2 and 4.35 of the First Priority
Indenture. For all purposes under the Trust Agreement and otherwise, to be effective, each Proceeds
Release Request (a) shall specify (i) the amount of funds to be released, (ii) the date of the
requested release, (iii) the purpose for which Satmex expects to use such
17
funds, (iv) the investments to be liquidated to provide cash to make such release, and (v) the wire
instructions for the transfer of such funds and (b) shall be accompanied by a certificate of a
Responsible Officer to the effect that such requested release of funds and proposed use thereof
will not violate any First Priority Document and that no default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under any First Priority Document. If no Enforcement Period is in effect and no
default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any First Priority
Document, on the date on which such funds are requested to be released pursuant to such Proceeds
Release Request, the Collateral Trustee shall release to Satmex funds from the First Priority
Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account in accordance with such Proceeds Release Request. To
effect such release, the Collateral Trustee shall liquidate such investments of such funds in the
First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account as shall be specified in such Proceeds
Release Request.
4.2 Control of Collateral Account. All right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral Account shall vest in the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, and funds
on deposit in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Trust Estate. The Collateral
Account shall be subject to the sole and exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Trustee.
4.3
Investment of Funds Deposited in Collateral Account. (a) The Collateral Trustee
shall invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Collateral Account at any time in Cash
Equivalents as directed in writing by Satmex so long as no Enforcement Period is in effect. All
such investments of funds in the Collateral Account, including any Sub-Account, the interest and
income received thereon and the net proceeds realized on the sale or redemption thereof shall be
held in the Collateral Account or such Sub-Account as part of the Trust Estate.
(b) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest the amounts
deposited in the Collateral Account if deposited with the Collateral Trustee after 11:00 a.m., New
York time, on such day of deposit other than specified in clause (c) below. 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 Account, as outlined in subsection (a) above, shall be
credited to the Collateral Account. Satmex shall be liable for any loss incurred on funds invested
in any Cash Equivalents directed by it. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any loss
incurred on any funds invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents pursuant to the provisions of this
Section. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or
for the failure of any appropriate Person to provide timely written investment direction. Any
interest or other income received on such investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Collateral
Account shall become part of the Collateral Account and any losses incurred on such investment and
reinvestment of the amounts in the Collateral Account shall be debited against the amounts in the
Collateral 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,
18
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.
(c) Each party hereto agrees that the Collateral Account constitutes a “securities account”
within the meaning of Section 8-501 (a) of the UCC and in such capacity the Collateral Trustee
shall be acting as a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the
UCC and that, regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the
State of New York shall be deemed to be the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” under Section
8-110(e) of the UCC. Each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security,
instrument or cash) credited to the Collateral Account shall be treated as a “financial asset”
within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
(d) The financial assets credited to, and other items deposited to, the Collateral Account
will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other in favor of any Person other
than as created pursuant to this Collateral Trust Agreement.
4.4 Application of Moneys. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right (pursuant to
subsection 6.7 hereof) at any time to apply moneys held by it in the Collateral Account to the
payment of due and unpaid Collateral Trustee Fees. All remaining moneys held by the Collateral
Trustee in the Collateral Account or received by the Collateral Trustee while an Enforcement Period
is in effect shall, to the extent available for distribution (it being understood that the
Collateral Trustee may liquidate investments prior to maturity to make a distribution pursuant to
this subsection 4.4), be distributed by the Collateral Trustee on each Distribution Date as
follows:
First: to the Collateral Trustee, an amount equal to any unpaid Collateral
Trustee Fees, and then to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any
Collateral Trustee Fees constituting administrative expenses allowable under 11 U.S.C. §
503(b), an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and
for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date;
Second: to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any
Collateral Trustee Fees other than such administrative expenses and has provided written
notice of such advance or payment to the Collateral Trustee, an amount equal to the amount
thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not
been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date;
Third: to the Indenture Trustee, for redistribution or application in
accordance with the terms of the First Priority Indenture, an amount equal to all sums which
constitute First Priority Obligations then held by the Secured Parties, including without
limitation the unpaid principal or face amount of, and unpaid interest on and other charges,
if any, in respect of, the First Priority Obligations then outstanding whether or not due
and payable and the costs and expenses of the Secured Parties and their respective
representatives which are due and payable under the relevant First Priority Documents and
which constitute First Priority Documents as of such Distribution Date; and
19
Fourth: after indefeasible payment in full of all First Priority Obligations,
any surplus then remaining shall be paid to Satmex or its successors or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

4.7
Collateral Trustee’s Calculations. In making the determinations and allocations
required by subsection 4.4, the Collateral Trustee may, unless a Responsible Collateral Trustee
Officer has actual knowledge to the contrary, conclusively rely upon a certificate executed and
supplied by the Indenture Trustee as to the amounts payable with respect to First Priority
Obligations, all in accordance with subsection 8.2(b), and the Collateral Trustee shall have no
liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information;
provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee receives on any Distribution Date an
amount pursuant to subsection 4.4 in excess of the amount to which it was entitled to receive on
such Distribution Date pursuant to such subsection 4.4 as a result of any such certificate
overstating the amount of the First Priority Obligations the Indenture Trustee shall pay such
excess to the Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with subsection 4.4 as soon as
practicable after the existence of such overstatement shall have been determined. All distributions
made by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to subsection 4.4 shall be (subject to any decree of any
court of competent jurisdiction and to the proviso in the preceding sentence) final, and the
Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any First Priority Holder

any circumstances as provided in this Section 4.9, nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver of any
rights of the Grant Holders, and the Grant Holders shall be entitled, to an unsecured claim against
Satmex in an amount equal to the direct damages, losses and liabilities that will be incurred by
the Grant Holders under customer contracts then utilizing capacity on the Loral Transponders that
arise from or relate to (x) the move of Satmex 5 or Satmex 6, as applicable, from its Orbital Slot

any other First Priority Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the Collateral
Trustee advisable, for the Collateral Trustee to ascertain the amount of First Priority Obligations
then held by Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, absent actual knowledge
of a Responsible Collateral Trustee Officer to the contrary, on a certificate of the Indenture
Trustee.
(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this
Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document if taking
such action (i) would subject the Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not
then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, unless the Collateral Trustee receives reasonable
security or indemnity against such tax (or equivalent liability), or any liability resulting from
such qualification, in each case as results from the taking of such action under this Trust
Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee, in
its or his individual capacity, shall not be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it or him in accordance with this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees or the
First Priority Security Documents except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e) The Collateral Trustee shall have the same rights with respect to any First Priority
Obligation held by it as any other Secured Party and may exercise such rights as though it were not
the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage
in any kind of banking or trust business with Satmex and its affiliates as if it were not the
Collateral Trustee.
(f) The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to provide any notice under the last sentence
of Section 8.4 of the Intercreditor Agreement unless it has been directed in writing to do so by
the Requisite First Priority Holders; provided, however, that if the Requisite First
Priority Holders deliver a Notice of Default to the Collateral Trustee, then such Notice of Default
shall be deemed a direction for the Collateral Trustee to send, and the Collateral Trustee shall
send, a copy of such Notice of Default to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee as required by
Section 8.4 of the Intercreditor Agreement.
31
8.3 Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to advice of counsel of its selection
concerning all matters pertaining to such trusts, powers and duties. The Collateral Trustee shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care.
8.4 Reliance by Collateral Trustee.
(a) Whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees or
the First Priority Security Documents the Collateral Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
that a factual matter be proved or established in connection with the Collateral Trustee taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed in the absence of actual knowledge
of a Responsible Collateral Trustee Officer to the contrary to be conclusively proved or
established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Satmex or of the Indenture Trustee
delivered to the Collateral Trustee, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Collateral
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the
provisions of subsection 8.5.
(b) The Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and any Opinion or
advice of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken or suffered by them hereunder or under any First Priority Guarantee or First Priority
Security Document in accordance therewith. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time
to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement, the First Priority
Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon
any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, bond or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) which it in good
faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties
or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or
parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Trust Agreement.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees and
the First Priority Security Documents, at the request or direction of the Requisite First Priority
Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement or otherwise, unless the Collateral Trustee shall have
been provided reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including such reasonable
advances as may be requested by the Collateral Trustee.
32
(e) Upon any application or demand by Satmex to the Collateral Trustee to take or permit any
action under any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any
First Priority Security Document, Satmex shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee a certificate of a
Responsible Officer stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust
Agreement, in any relevant First Priority 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 Trust Agreement, any First Priority
Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document relating to such particular application or
demand, such additional document shall also be furnished to the Collateral Trustee.
8.5 Limitations on Duties of Collateral Trustee.
(a) Unless an Enforcement Period is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall be obligated to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement, the
First Priority Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First
Priority Security Document against the Collateral Trustee. If and so long as an Enforcement Period
is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall, subject to the provisions
of subsection
3.5(b), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents, and shall not be liable with respect to any action taken by it, or omitted to be taken by it, in accordance with the direction of the Requisite First Priority Holders.
3.5(b), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents, and shall not be liable with respect to any action taken by it, or omitted to be taken by it, in accordance with the direction of the Requisite First Priority Holders.
(b) Whenever reference is made in this Trust Agreement to any action by, consent, designation,
specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other
direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the
Collateral Trustee to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Trust Agreement or of any
First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Security Document to be executed (or not to be
executed) by the Collateral Trustee or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of
judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made
(or not to be made) by the Collateral Trustee, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral
Trustee shall be acting, giving, withholding, suffering, omitting, making or otherwise undertaking
and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed in
writing by the Requisite First Priority Holders. This provision is intended solely for the benefit
of the Collateral Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will
not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim under or in relation to
any First Priority Security Documents, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. The
Collateral Trustee shall, subject to subsection 6.1, make available for inspection and copying by
the Indenture Trustee each certificate or other document furnished to the Collateral Trustee by
Satmex under or in respect of this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First
Priority Security Document or any of the First Priority Collateral.
(c) No provision of this Trust Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First
Priority 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
33
conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the
Collateral Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent, to perform any such act or acts or to
exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation or if such performance or exercise would
constitute doing business by the Collateral Trustee in such jurisdiction or impose a tax on the
Collateral Trustee by reason thereof.
8.6 Moneys to be Held in Trust. All cash, moneys, and proceeds of First Priority
Collateral received by the Collateral Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Trust
Agreement, any First Priority Guarantee or any First Priority Document (except Collateral Trustee
Fees) shall be held in trust for the purposes set forth herein and in the other First Priority
Documents.
8.7 Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Trustee.
(a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time, by giving written notice of resignation to Satmex
and the Indenture Trustee, be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation
to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee, (ii) the acceptance
of such appointment by such successor Collateral Trustee and (iii) the approval of such successor
Collateral Trustee evidenced by one or more instruments signed by the Indenture Trustee, on behalf
of the Requisite First Priority Holders, or the Requisite First Priority Holders. If no successor
Collateral Trustee shall be appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 90 days after
the Collateral Trustee gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Collateral Trustee or any
Secured Party, may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral
Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Trustee shall have been appointed
as provided in this subsection. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Collateral Trustee appointed as provided in this
subsection.
(b) The Requisite First Priority Holders may, at any time, remove the Collateral Trustee and
appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such
appointment by the successor.
(c) If at any time the Collateral Trustee shall resign or be removed or otherwise become
incapable of acting, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral
Trustee for any other cause, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by the Requisite First
Priority Holders. In such event, the powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor
Collateral Trustee shall be terminated and cancelled without procuring the resignation of such
predecessor and without any other formality (except as may be required by applicable law) than
appointment and designation of a successor in writing duly acknowledged and delivered to the
predecessor and Satmex. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and
authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Trust Agreement, the
First Priority Guarantees and the First Priority Security Documents shall vest in such successor,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts,
duties, authority and title of its predecessor (subject to the lien of such predecessor pursuant to
subsection 6.7); but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Requisite
First Priority Holders or the successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such
34
predecessor hereunder and under the First Priority Security Documents and shall deliver all First
Priority Collateral held by it or his agents to such successor (subject to the lien of such
predecessor pursuant to subsection 6.7). Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing
from Satmex or any First Priority Guarantor be required by any successor Collateral Trustee for
more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts,
duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Collateral Trustee,
any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such
successor, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by Satmex or such First Priority Guarantor, as
applicable. If Satmex or any First Priority Guarantor shall not have executed and delivered any
such deed, conveyance or other instrument within ten (10) calendar days after it received a written
request from the successor Collateral Trustee to do so, or if an Enforcement Period is in effect,
the predecessor Collateral Trustee may execute the same on behalf of Satmex or such First Priority
Guarantor, as applicable. Satmex and each First Priority Guarantor hereby appoint any predecessor
Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney to act for such purposes.
8.8 Status of Successor Collateral Trustee. Every successor Collateral Trustee
appointed pursuant to subsection 8.7 shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having
power to act as Collateral Trustee hereunder, incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and having its principal corporate trust
office within the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States and shall also have capital, surplus
and undivided profits of not less than $150,000,000, if there be such an institution with such
capital, surplus and undivided profits willing, qualified and able to accept the trust hereunder
upon reasonable or customary terms.
8.9
Merger of the Collateral Trustee. Any corporation into which the Collateral
Trustee may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger 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, shall be Collateral Trustee
under this Trust Agreement, the First Priority Guarantees, and the First Priority Security
Documents without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
parties hereto.
8.10 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 First Priority 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 Secured Parties, or the
Requisite First Priority Holders shall in writing so 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 First Priority Security 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 an
Enforcement Period is in effect, Satmex, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees or agent or
bailee of all or any of the First Priority Collateral under this Trust Agreement
35
or under any of the First Priority 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 First Priority Collateral. If Satmex shall not
have joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 10 days after it receives a
written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if an Enforcement Period is in effect, 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 subsection 8.7, 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 First Priority Guarantee or First Priority 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;
co-trustee or co-trustees;
(iii) no power given hereby or by the relevant First Priority Guarantee or First Priority
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 the Requisite First Priority Holders, 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
36
10 days after it receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if an
Enforcement Event is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to (and, at the
direction of the Requisite First Priority Holders, 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.
8.11
Treatment of Payee or Indorsee by Collateral Trustee; Representatives of Secured
Parties.
(a) The Collateral Trustee may treat the registered holder or, if none, the payee or indorsee
of any promissory note or debenture evidencing a First Priority Obligation as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, whether such
promissory note or debenture shall be past due or not.
(b) Any Person which shall be designated as the duly authorized representative of one or more
Secured Parties to act as such in connection with any matters pertaining to this Trust Agreement or
the First Priority Collateral shall present to the Collateral Trustee such documents, including,
without limitation, Opinions of Counsel, as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably require, to
demonstrate to the Collateral Trustee the authority of such Person to act as the representative of
such Secured Parties (it being understood that the authority of the Indenture Trustee shall be
demonstrated by its inclusion as such in the lists from time to time delivered pursuant to
subsection 6.2.)
(c) Whenever this Trust Agreement requires or permits any Secured Party or the Requisite First
Priority Holders to sign any instrument, give any notice or take any action, the Requisite First
Priority Holders, the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Secured Party
or Requisite First Priority Holders may sign such instrument, give such notice or take such action
with the same effect as if done directly by such Secured Party or Requisite First Priority Holders.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Trust Agreement or any First Priority
Document, any Person holding a beneficial interest in any First Priority Security as of a date
shall qualify hereunder as a First Priority Holder of that First Priority Security, to the extent
of its beneficial interest, as of that date, and shall have the benefits hereunder of a First
Priority Holder of that First Priority Security, to the extent of its beneficial interest, as of
that date, upon providing to the Collateral Trustee written documentation of its beneficial
interest as of that date that is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee. For the
purposes of the foregoing sentence, documentation of a beneficial interest meeting the requirements
of Section 7.9 of the First Priority Indenture will be reasonably satisfactory.
37
8.12 Notices to Collateral Trustee under First Priority Security Documents. In the
event that the Collateral Trustee receives any notice from the grantor under any First Priority
Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly transmit a copy thereof to Satmex, the
Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall take such action in
respect of such notice which is permitted by this Trust Agreement as shall be directed by the
Requisite First Priority Holders.

Agreement shall be in full force and effect; provided, however, that each of Satmex and the First
Priority Guarantors may and shall (to the extent CT Corporation System ceases to be able to be
served on the basis contemplated herein), by written notice to the Collateral Trustee, designate
such additional or alternative agents for service of process under this Section 10.9 that (i)
maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the State of New

for service of process for other persons in the
41
ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees in writing, a copy of which is delivered to the
Collateral Trustee, to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 10.9.
Such notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of such agent for
process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the request of
the Indenture Trustee or any First Priority Holder, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver such
information to such First Priority Holder or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for each of
Satmex and the First Priority Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 10.9.
(b) To the extent that Satmex or any First Priority Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, or otherwise) with
respect to itself or its property, each of Satmex and the First Priority Guarantors hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Trust Agreement, the
First Priority Securities, and the other First Priority Documents, to the extent permitted by law.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(i) submits for itself and its Property in any suit, action, or proceeding, including
without limitation any enforcement, collection, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, with
respect to, arising out of, or relating to, this Trust Agreement or any other First Priority
Document, whether commenced by the Collateral Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, one or more First
Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities, or
any other interested party, or an action for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in New York
County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, appellate courts
from any thereof and to the courts of its own corporate domicile in respect of actions brought
against it as a defendant and waives any other forum or court that takes jurisdiction by reason of
the location of such party’s present or future assets or otherwise;
(ii) consents that any suit, action, or proceeding, including without limitation any
enforcement, collection, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, with respect to, arising
out of, or relating to, the First Priority Securities or this First Priority Indenture or any other
First Priority Document, whether commenced by the Collateral Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, one or
more First Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the First Priority
Securities, or any other interested party, or an action for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts set forth in Section 10.9(c)(i) and
waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, trial by jury and any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such suit, action, or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court, and
agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail),
postage prepaid, to the agent for service of process described above; and
42
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law.
10.10 Counterparts. This Trust Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
10.11 Release of Liens; First Priority Guarantees.
(a) Upon indefeasible payment in full of all First Priority Obligations and all Collateral
Trustee Fees, the liens and security interests created by subsection 6.7 and by the First Priority
Security Documents shall terminate forthwith, and all right, title and interest of the Collateral
Trustee in and to such First Priority Collateral shall revert to Satmex or such other grantor and
their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Upon the termination of the Collateral Trustee’s security interest and the release of any
First Priority Collateral in accordance with subsection 10.1 l(a), the Collateral Trustee will
promptly, at Satmex’s written request and expense, execute and deliver to Satmex, such documents
shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such security interest or the release of
such First Priority Collateral.
(c) This Trust Agreement shall terminate when all of the following have occurred: (i) the
First Priority Guarantees have terminated, (ii) the liens and security interests granted under the
First Priority Security Documents have terminated and (iii) the First Priority Collateral has been
released and the First Priority Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed in
full; provided that the provisions of subsections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6 shall survive and
not be affected by any such termination.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall promptly give notice to the Indenture Trustee of any release
of First Priority Collateral or a First Priority Guarantee pursuant to this subsection.
10.12 Complete Agreement. This Trust Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
representations, negotiations, writings, memoranda and agreements.
10.13 Release of Liabilities. By execution of this Trust Agreement, each of the First
Priority Guarantors, the Collateral Trustee and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge and agree that
none of the members of the Board of Directors, officers or representatives of Satmex shall have or
assume any liability in respect of Satmex’s obligations arising from the execution of this Trust
Agreement under the provisions of Article 233, in relation with Article 229, paragraph (V), of the
General Law of Commercial Organizations (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles). Consequently, each
such person is released from such liability, with the broadest release that may be granted pursuant
to applicable law, without any of the First Priority Guarantors, the Collateral Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee reserving any action against them for such liability, which is hereby expressly
and irrevocably waived.
43
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Trust Agreement to be duly
executed by their respective authorized officers or representatives as of the day and year first
written above.
