(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
-17-
Second Priority Collateral required to be held or otherwise received by the Collateral Trustee
pursuant hereto or pursuant to any Second 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
“Second 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 Second Priority Collateral which are required
by this Trust Agreement or any Second 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 Second Priority Collateral or the Second Priority Guarantees, whether in
connection with the exercise of the remedies provided in this Trust Agreement, any Second Priority
Guarantee or any Second 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 income on such amounts, to be deposited in the Second
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 4.25(b) of the Second Priority
Indenture.
(c) All moneys constituting Second Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account
Proceeds which are delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.2 and 4.25 of the
Second Priority Indenture or otherwise, while an Enforcement Period is not in effect, shall be
deposited in the Second 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 4.25
of the Second Priority Indenture. Upon the receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a Notice of
Default, all amounts on deposit in the Second 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 Second 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 Second 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 Second Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account
for any use in the aggregate amount permitted by Sections 3.2 and 4.25 of the Second 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 funds, (iv) the
investments to be liquidated to provide cash to make such release, and (v) the wire instructions

continuing under any Second Priority Document. If no Enforcement Period is in
-18-
effect and no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any
Second 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 Second
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 Second Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Sub-Account as shall be specified in
such Proceeds Release Request.

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) hereinabove. 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 incured 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, 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 8-105(a) of the UCC and 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 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

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 Second Priority

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 Second 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 Second Priority Holder or the Indenture Trustee of any amounts distributed to

submit evidence including, without limitation, any expert report, testimony or opinion, for all
purposes in interpreting, enforcing or otherwise explaining the Mexican Federal Civil Code,
including Article 980 thereof, with respect to the Loral Usufructo and the Xxxxx Xxxxx or the

“where is” condition).
(b) If as a result of any enforcement action or exercise of rights and remedies by the

Foreclosure Sale, then the Collateral Trustee shall, and is hereby irrevocably directed to, use
commercially reasonable efforts in such foreclosure process to obtain the agreement of any

applicable Usufructo Agreement. If such purchaser, in its sole discretion, does not agree to such

applicable Grant Holders (i) the Loral Transponder Sale Proceeds with respect to Satmex 5 on the
Satmex 5 Transponder Sale Date and (ii) the Loral Transponder Sale Proceeds with respect to Satmex

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

to the amount of such Second Priority Obligation) against the purchase price.

THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE
THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE
8.1 Acceptance of Trust. The Collateral Trustee, for itself and its successors, hereby
accepts the trusts created by this Trust Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereof.
8.2 Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the
correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein, all of which are
-31-
made solely by Satmex or the Second Priority Guarantors, as applicable. The Collateral
Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part
thereof, or as to the title of Satmex or any Second Priority Guarantor thereto or as to the
security afforded by this Trust Agreement or any Second Priority Security Document, or as to the
validity, execution (except its own execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this
Trust Agreement, the Second Priority Guarantees, the Second Priority Security Documents or the
Second Priority Obligations, and the Collateral Trustee shall incur no liability or responsibility
in respect of any such matters. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for insuring the
Second Priority Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges or assessments or discharging of
liens upon the Second Priority Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Second Priority
Collateral, except that if the Collateral Trustee takes possession of any Second Priority
Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable care in the preservation of the Second
Priority Collateral in its possession.
(b) The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance
by Satmex or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in
any other Second Priority Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the Collateral
Trustee advisable, for the Collateral Trustee to ascertain the amount of Second 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) an Officers’
Certificate of Satmex or (b) the written direction of the Requisite Second Priority Holders.
(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this
Trust Agreement, any Second Priority Guarantee or any Second 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 security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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 Second Priority Guarantee or any Second 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 Second Priority Guarantees or
the Second 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 Second 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 liable for the selection of investments or for
investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Trustee shall have no liability in respect
-32-
of loses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investments prior to its stated maturity or
the failure of Satmex to provide timely written direction. In no event shall the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Common
Representative or any failure or delay in the performance by the Common Representative of its
obligations under the Common Representative Agreement, and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
shall have no duty to monitor or supervise the Common Representative or its performance of its
obligations pursuant to the Common Representative Agreement.
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 Second Priority Guarantees or
the Second 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 Second Priority Guarantee or Second 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 Second Priority
Guarantees and the Second 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.
-33-
(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 Second Priority Guarantees and
the Second Priority Security Documents, at the request or direction of the Requisite Second
Priority Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement or otherwise, unless the Collateral Trustee shall
have been provided security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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.
(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 Second Priority Guarantee or any
Second 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 Second 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 Second Priority
Guarantee or any Second Priority Security Document relating to such particular application or
demand, such additional document shall also be furnished to the Collateral Trustee.
(f) The Collateral Trustee is hereby directed to execute, formalize, deliver, and perform its
obligations and exercise its rights and remedies under the Common Representative Agreement,
including to carry out any acts to formalize, grant and deliver the Common Representative Agreement
under Mexican law and to give full legal effect thereto under the applicable Mexican laws pursuant
to the written request and direction of the Company.
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
Second Priority Guarantees and the Second Priority Security Documents, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement, any Second Priority Guarantee or any Second
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 Second Priority Guarantees
and the Second 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 Second
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
Second Priority Guarantee or any Second 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
-34-
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 Second 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 Second 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 Second Priority Guarantee or any Second Priority Security Document or any
of the Second Priority Collateral.
(c) No provision of this Trust Agreement, any Second Priority Guarantee or any Second 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 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 Second Priority
Collateral received by the Collateral Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Trust
Agreement, any Second Priority Guarantee or any Second Priority Document (except Collateral Trustee
Fees) shall be held in trust for the purposes set forth herein and in the other Second 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 Second Priority Holders, or the Requisite Second 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 Second 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.
-35-
(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
Second 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
Second Priority Guarantees and the Second 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
Second 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
predecessor hereunder and under the Second Priority Security Documents and shall deliver all Second
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 Second 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 Second Priority Guarantor, as
applicable. If Satmex or any Second 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 Second Priority
Guarantor, as applicable. Satmex and each Second 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 Second Priority Guarantees, and the Second Priority Security
Documents without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
parties hereto.
-36-
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 Second 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 Second 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 Second 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 Second Priority Collateral under this Trust Agreement or under any of
the Second 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 Second 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 Second Priority Guarantee or Second 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;
-37-
(iii) no power given hereby or by the relevant Second Priority
Guarantee or Second 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 Second 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 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
Second 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 Second 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 Second 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
Second Priority Holders to sign any instrument, give any notice or take any action, the
-38-
Requisite Second Priority Holders, the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee on behalf
of such Secured Party or Requisite Second 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 Second Priority Holders.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Trust Agreement or any Second Priority
Document, any Person holding a beneficial interest in any Second Priority Security as of a date
shall qualify hereunder as a Second Priority Holder of that Second Priority Security, to the extent
of its beneficial interest, as of that date, and shall have the benefits hereunder of a Second
Priority Holder of that Second 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 9.9 of the Second Priority Indenture will be reasonably satisfactory.
8.12 Notices to Collateral Trustee under Second Priority Security Documents. In the
event that the Collateral Trustee receives any notice from the grantor under any Second 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 Second Priority Holders.

there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for each of Satmex and the
Second Priority Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 10.9.
(b) To the extent that Satmex or any Second 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

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
-43-
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 Second Priority Securities or this Second Priority Indenture or any
other Second Priority Document, whether commenced by the Collateral Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
one or more Second Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the Second
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
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law.
