The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such time thereafter as is agreed upon in writing by DigitalGlobe and GeoEye and provided in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

The by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) Immediately after the effectiveness of the Subsequent Merger, the limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub 2 as in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Merger shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving LLC until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. Immediately after the effectiveness of the Subsequent Merger, the certificate of formation of Merger Sub 2 as in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Merger shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving LLC until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, except that as of the effectiveness of the Subsequent Merger, the certificate of formation of the Surviving LLC shall be amended to reflect the name of GeoEye (or a variation thereof) as the name of the Surviving LLC.

Section 1.06 Directors and Officers of Surviving LLC.

Article II
Effect on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Entities; Election;
Exchange of Certificates

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of GeoEye, DigitalGlobe, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2 or the holder of any shares of DigitalGlobe Capital Stock or GeoEye Capital Stock:

(a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and DigitalGlobe-Owned Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GeoEye (the “GeoEye Common Stock”) and each share of GeoEye Preferred Stock that is owned by GeoEye as treasury stock and each share of GeoEye Common Stock, if any, that is owned by DigitalGlobe immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into 1 fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Common Stock”). From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock until the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation issues new certificates in respect of such shares.

(c) Conversion of GeoEye Common Stock. Subject to Sections 2.01(e) and 2.01(f), each share of GeoEye Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and Dissenting Shares (to the extent provided in Section 2.01(f)) shall be converted into the right to receive the following consideration (the “Common Merger Consideration”), as applicable:

(i) Each share of GeoEye Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash (a “Mixed Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.02 (each, a “Mixed Consideration Electing Share”) and each Non-Electing GeoEye Share shall be converted into the right to receive the combination (which combination shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Mixed Consideration”) of (x) $4.10 in cash (the “Mixed Election Per Share Cash Amount”) and (y) 1.137 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock (the “Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio”). The Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of a share of DigitalGlobe Common Stock.

(ii) Each share of GeoEye Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive all cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.02 (each, a “Cash Electing GeoEye Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive $20.27 in cash without interest (the “Per Share Cash Election Consideration”); except that if (A) the product of the number of Cash Electing GeoEye Shares and the Per Share Cash Election Consideration (such product being the “Cash Election Amount”) exceeds (B) the difference between (x) the product of the Mixed Election Per Share Cash Amount and the total number of shares of GeoEye Common Stock (other than shares canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and Dissenting Shares which were previously shares of GeoEye Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time minus (y) the product of the number of Mixed Consideration Electing Shares (including any Non-Electing GeoEye Shares) and the Mixed Election Per Share Cash Amount (such difference being the “Available Cash Election Amount”), then each Cash Electing GeoEye Share shall instead be converted into the right to receive (1) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product of (x) the Per Share Cash Election Consideration and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Available Cash Election Amount and the denominator of which shall be the Cash Election Amount (such fraction being the “Cash Fraction”) and (2) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of DigitalGlobe (“DigitalGlobe Common Stock”) equal to the product of (x) the Common Exchange Ratio and (y) 1 minus the Cash Fraction.

(iii) Each share of GeoEye Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive all stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) is properly made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.02 (each, a “Stock Electing GeoEye Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive 1.425 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock (the “Common Exchange Ratio”) (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(e), the “Stock Consideration”); except that if the Available Cash Election Amount exceeds the Cash Election Amount, then each Stock Electing GeoEye Share shall instead be converted into the right to receive (A) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the amount of such excess divided by the number of Stock Electing GeoEye Shares and (B) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Common Exchange Ratio and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Cash Election Consideration minus the amount calculated in clause (A) of this Section 2.01(c)(iii) and the denominator of which shall be the Per Share Cash Election Consideration. The Common Exchange Ratio shall be calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of a share of DigitalGlobe Common Stock.

All such shares of GeoEye Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of GeoEye Common Stock (each, a “Common Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Common Certificate in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest.

(d) Conversion of GeoEye Preferred Stock. Subject to Sections 2.01(e) and 2.01(f), each share of GeoEye Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and Dissenting Shares (to the extent provided in Section 2.01(f)) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive that number of fully paid and nonassessable share of a newly-designated series of DigitalGlobe Preferred Stock (the “DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock”), having the powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designations for such DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock attached as Exhibit 2.01(d), equal to the Preferred Exchange Ratio and $4.10 in cash for each share of GeoEye Common Stock into which such share of GeoEye Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Preferred Merger Consideration” and, together with the Common Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of GeoEye Preferred Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of GeoEye Preferred Stock (each, a “Preferred Certificate” and, together with the Common Certificates, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Preferred Merger Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest. For purposes of this Agreement, “Preferred Exchange Ratio” means 1.000. The Preferred Exchange Ratio shall be calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of a share of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock.

(e) Adjustments. If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, GeoEye Common Stock or GeoEye Preferred Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein (including any exchange ratio) which is based upon the number of shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, GeoEye Common Stock or GeoEye Preferred Stock, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to DigitalGlobe and the holders of GeoEye Common Stock and GeoEye Preferred Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(f) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Dissenting Shares”) of GeoEye Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c) or 2.01(d), as applicable, but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder's Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease and (i) with respect to GeoEye Common Stock, such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Mixed Consideration Electing Shares that have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Mixed Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c)(i) and (ii) with respect to GeoEye Preferred Stock, such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Preferred Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(d). GeoEye shall serve prompt written notice (but in any event within 48 hours) to DigitalGlobe of any demands for appraisal of any shares of GeoEye Common Stock and any withdrawals of such demands, and DigitalGlobe shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, GeoEye shall not, without the prior written consent of DigitalGlobe, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(g) Conversion of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. At the effective time of the Subsequent Merger, and without any action on the part of DigitalGlobe, GeoEye, Merger Sub 2 or any holder of shares thereof, each share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one limited liability company interest of the Surviving LLC and shall constitute the only limited liability company interests of the Surviving LLC. From and after the effective time of the Subsequent Merger, all certificates representing shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of limited liability company interests of the Surviving LLC into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.02 Election Procedures.

(a) Not less than 10 Business Days prior to the mailing of the Joint Proxy Statement, DigitalGlobe shall appoint a bank or trust company selected by DigitalGlobe and reasonably acceptable to GeoEye (provided that DigitalGlobe's transfer agent shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to GeoEye) to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each Person who, on or prior to the Election Date, is a record holder of shares of GeoEye Common Stock other than Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to specify the number of such holder's shares of GeoEye Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election.

(c) DigitalGlobe shall prepare and file as an exhibit to the Form S-4 a form of election (the “Form of Election”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GeoEye. The Form of Election shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Form of Election and any Certificates to the Exchange Agent. GeoEye shall mail the Form of Election with the Joint Proxy Statement to all persons who are record holders of shares of GeoEye Common Stock as of the record date for GeoEye Stockholders Meeting. The Form of Election shall be used by each record holder of shares of GeoEye Common Stock (or, in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner through proper instructions and documentation) to make a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election. In the event that a holder fails to make a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election with respect to any shares of GeoEye Common Stock held or beneficially owned by such holder, then such holder shall be deemed to have made a Mixed Election with respect to those shares (each such share, a “Non-Electing GeoEye Share”). GeoEye shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election available to all persons who become record holders of shares of GeoEye Common Stock during the period between the record date for the GeoEye Stockholders Meeting and the Election Date. Unless the properly completed Form of Election provides otherwise, for all purposes of this Section and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.358-2(a)(2)(ii), (i) a holder will be treated as having surrendered, in exchange for the total amount of the Merger Consideration received in cash, if any, to be paid to such holder under this Article II (with respect to a holder, the “Cash Portion”), the number of shares of GeoEye Common Stock, GeoEye Preferred Stock, or both, as applicable, of such holder as to which such holder has a right to receive cash pursuant to Sections 2.01(c) and 2.01(d); and (ii) for purposes of clause (i), the Certificates surrendered by a holder in exchange for such holder's Cash Portion will be deemed to be: (A) first, of those Certificates evidencing shares held by such holder for more than one year before the Merger within the meaning of Section 1223 of the Code, if any, those Certificates with the highest United States federal income tax basis, in descending order until such Certificates are exhausted or the Cash Portion for such holder is fully paid, then (B) of all other of such holder's Certificates, those Certificates with the highest United States federal income tax basis, in descending order until the Cash Portion for such holder is fully paid.

(d) Any holder’s election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the date of the GeoEye Stockholders Meeting or (ii) if the Closing Date is more than four Business Days following the GeoEye Stockholders Meeting, 2 Business Days preceding the Closing Date (the “Election Date”), a Form of Election properly and fully completed and signed and accompanied by (A) in the case of shares of GeoEye Common Stock represented by a Certificate, Certificates representing the shares of GeoEye Common Stock to which such Form of Election relates, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of GeoEye (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a firm that is an "eligible guarantor institution" (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act); provided that such Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery) or (ii) in the case of shares of GeoEye Common Stock held in book-entry form, any additional documents required by the procedures set forth in the Form of Election. After a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election is validly made with respect to any shares of GeoEye Common Stock, no further registration of transfers of such shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of GeoEye, unless and until such Cash Election, Stock Election or Mixed Election is properly revoked.

(e) DigitalGlobe and GeoEye shall publicly announce the anticipated Election Date at least 7 Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Date shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and DigitalGlobe and GeoEye shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Date.

(f) Any Cash Election, Stock Election or Mixed Election may be revoked with respect to all or a portion of the shares of GeoEye Common Stock subject thereto by the holder who submitted the applicable Form of Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Election Date. In addition, all Cash Elections, Stock Elections and Mixed Elections shall automatically be revoked if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII. If a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election is revoked, the shares as to which such election previously applied shall be treated as Non-Electing GeoEye Shares unless a contrary election is submitted by the holder within the period during which elections are permitted to be made pursuant to Section 2.02(d). Certificates will not be returned to holders, and the accounts of holders of shares GeoEye Common Stock held in book-entry form will not be credited at the Depository Trust Company, unless the holder so requests.

(g) The determination of the Exchange Agent (or the joint determination of DigitalGlobe and GeoEye, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination) shall be conclusive and binding as to whether or not Cash Elections, Stock Elections or Mixed Elections shall have been properly made or revoked pursuant to this Section 2.02 and as to when Cash Elections, Stock Elections, Mixed Elections and revocations were received by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent (or DigitalGlobe and GeoEye jointly, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make the following computation) shall also make all computations contemplated by Section 2.01(c), and absent manifest error this computation shall be conclusive and binding. The Exchange Agent may, with the written agreement of DigitalGlobe, make any rules as are consistent with this Section 2.02 for the implementation of the Cash Elections, Stock Elections and Mixed Elections provided for in this Agreement as shall be necessary or desirable to effect these Cash Elections, Stock Elections and Mixed Elections.

Section 2.03 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock and DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration, cash payable as Merger Consideration and cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.03(e). All such DigitalGlobe Common Stock, DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the second Business Day thereafter, DigitalGlobe shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of GeoEye Common Stock and GeoEye Preferred Stock whose shares were converted into Merger Consideration a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as DigitalGlobe may specify, subject to GeoEye’s reasonable approval), together with instructions thereto.

(b) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of shares of GeoEye Capital Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) in the case of shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, in each case together with the letter of transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the DigitalGlobe Common Stock or DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the shares of GeoEye Capital Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01 (after taking into account all shares of GeoEye Common Stock to which an election or non-election has been made), and (B) a check in an amount equal to (1) the cash (including cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(e)), if any, into which such holder’s shares of GeoEye Capital Stock were converted in accordance with this Article II plus (2) any cash in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(c). In the event of a transfer of ownership of GeoEye Capital Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of GeoEye, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock or DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, or cash, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.01 and cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(e) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(c) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such GeoEye Capital Stock (or, if such GeoEye Capital Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.03(b), each share of GeoEye Capital Stock and any Certificate with respect thereto shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of such shares were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 2.01 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.03(e) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form).

(c) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares of GeoEye Capital Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to DigitalGlobe Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock or DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock , as applicable, issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.03(e), until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing shares of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock or whole shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, as applicable, issued in exchange therefor pursuant to Section 2.01(c), without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of DigitalGlobe Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock and such whole shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock theretofore paid with respect to such shares of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock and such whole shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, as applicable, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock and such whole shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, as applicable.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in GeoEye Capital Stock. The shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock or DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, issued and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of GeoEye Capital Stock (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.03(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of GeoEye Capital Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of GeoEye Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of GeoEye Capital Stock (or shares of GeoEye Capital Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to DigitalGlobe or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of GeoEye Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of DigitalGlobe Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of GeoEye Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of DigitalGlobe Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of GeoEye Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the average of the volume weighted average price per share of DigitalGlobe Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by DigitalGlobe and GeoEye) on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the second complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time, weighted by the total volume of trading in DigitalGlobe Common Stock on each such trading day. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) is not a separately bargained-for consideration. Fractional shares of DigitalGlobe Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in exchange for shares of GeoEye Preferred Stock.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of GeoEye Capital Stock for 360 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to DigitalGlobe, upon demand, and any holder of GeoEye Capital Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to DigitalGlobe for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(g) No Liability. None of GeoEye, DigitalGlobe, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving LLC or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for 2 years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of DigitalGlobe, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by DigitalGlobe. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to DigitalGlobe.

(i) FIRPTA; Withholding Rights.

(i) Not more than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, GeoEye shall deliver to DigitalGlobe a certificate, substantially in the form provided for in Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations, establishing that GeoEye is not a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, and has not been such a United States real property holding corporation within the 5 year period ending on the Closing Date, and a copy of notice provided to the IRS in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

(ii) The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. The Exchange Agent shall provide commercially reasonable notice to GeoEye upon becoming aware of any such withholding obligation and shall cooperate with GeoEye to the extent reasonable to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction and withholding. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by DigitalGlobe, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as DigitalGlobe may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions on the Certificate deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, DigitalGlobe shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust, competition, communications or satellite-related clearances and other approvals of Governmental Authorities, and shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Entity in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the cooperation of the parties required by this Section 6.03(f), in the event the parties do not agree with respect to any matter in connection with the required clearances and approvals from Governmental Authorities, DigitalGlobe’s decision will control, provided that such decision does not interfere with GeoEye’s ability to control its operations prior to Closing, and otherwise is consistent with GeoEye’s obligations under the Law, including but not limited to the Communications Act. DigitalGlobe and GeoEye may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.03(f) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such Antitrust Counsel Only Material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (GeoEye or DigitalGlobe, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.03(f), materials provided to the other party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation, pricing and other competitively sensitive terms from an antitrust perspective in the Contracts of GeoEye, DigitalGlobe and their respective Subsidiaries.

(g) Notwithstanding Sections 6.03(a), 6.03(b), 6.03(c), 6.03(d), 6.03(e) and 6.03(f) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall DigitalGlobe or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates be required to agree to (i) divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any material portion of its or GeoEye's respective businesses, assets or Contracts or allow a third party to utilize a material amount of the capacity on its or GeoEye's satellites or (ii) take any other action that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the business, assets, Contracts or properties of DigitalGlobe and GeoEye, taken as a whole. As long as the following actions of GeoEye are conditioned on Closing, DigitalGlobe may, if it so chooses, cause GeoEye to (i) divest, license, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or allow a third party to utilize, any portion of its respective businesses, assets or Contracts or (ii) take any other action that would have an impact on the business, assets, Contracts or properties of GeoEye or its Subsidiaries.

(h) Both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye shall, as promptly as practicable, and at least 60 days prior to the Effective Time, cause to be filed with the United States Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls the notices required under Section 122.4(b) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, as amended.

Section 6.04 Equity/Incentive Awards.

(a) Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the GeoEye Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including using reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents) to adjust the terms of all outstanding GeoEye Stock Options to provide that, at the Effective Time, each GeoEye Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such GeoEye Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, a number of shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying the number of shares of GeoEye Common Stock subject to such GeoEye Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Common Exchange Ratio, at a per share exercise price, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such GeoEye Stock Option by the Common Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the adjustments provided in this Section 6.04(a) with respect to any GeoEye Stock Options, whether or not they are “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, shall be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Restricted Stock Units. Prior to the Effective Time, the GeoEye Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including using reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents) to adjust the terms of all outstanding GeoEye Restricted Stock Units to provide that each award of Restricted Stock Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall represent the right to receive, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such award immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) a maximum number of shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying the maximum number of shares of GeoEye Common Stock subject to such award of GeoEye Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio and (ii) a maximum amount of cash, rounded down to the nearest whole cent, determined by multiplying the maximum number of shares of GeoEye Common Stock subject to such award of GeoEye Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Mixed Election Per Share Cash Amount. Following the Effective Time, the DigitalGlobe Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as it deems appropriate to adjust, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the applicable GeoEye Stock Plans and award agreements thereunder, the vesting provisions of all outstanding GeoEye Restricted Stock Units the vesting of which is contingent upon the achievement of specified performance metrics.

(c) Performance Cash Awards. Following the Effective Time, the DigitalGlobe Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as it deems appropriate to adjust, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the applicable awards and agreements relating thereto, the performance metrics of all outstanding GeoEye long term cash awards the value or vesting of which is contingent upon the achievement of specified performance metrics.

(d) Restricted Stock Awards. Each holder of a GeoEye Restricted Stock Award shall be offered the opportunity to make an election of the type described in Section 2.01(c) and in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 2.02 (with such adjustments to such procedures as may be determined by GeoEye in its sole discretion consistent with the terms of the GeoEye Stock Plans) and shall receive in consideration of such GeoEye Restricted Stock Awards consideration consistent with the principles set forth in Section 2.01, provided, however, that with respect to any GeoEye Restricted Stock Award that does not become vested upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) any DigitalGlobe Common Stock to be issued in respect of such GeoEye Restricted Stock Award to the holder thereof shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture restrictions) as were applicable to the corresponding GeoEye Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) any cash payable in respect of such GeoEye Restricted Stock Award to the holder thereof shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture restrictions) as were applicable to the corresponding GeoEye Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, such that such cash shall be paid to the holder of such GeoEye Restricted Stock Award by the Surviving Corporation only if and to the extent (and at the time) that such GeoEye Restricted Stock Award otherwise would have become vested and non-forfeitable.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the GeoEye Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including using reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents) to effect the following, without further action by any Person:

(i) after the date hereof, no future offering periods shall be commenced under the GeoEye ESPP. The current offering period in effect on the date hereof under the GeoEye ESPP will continue in accordance with its terms, and options under the current offering period will be exercisable at the normally scheduled time under the GeoEye ESPP in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that in all events the expiration of such offering period and the final exercise under the GeoEye ESPP shall occur prior to the Effective Time. The GeoEye ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately as of the Effective Time; and

(ii) ensure that, following the Effective Time, no holder of a GeoEye Stock Option or GeoEye Restricted Stock Unit (or former holder of a GeoEye Stock Option or GeoEye Restricted Stock Unit or any current or former participant in the GeoEye Stock Plan, or in any other GeoEye Benefit Plan or GeoEye Benefit Agreement), will have any right thereunder to acquire any capital stock of GeoEye or any GeoEye Subsidiary or any other equity interest therein.

(f) At the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe shall assume all the obligations of GeoEye under the GeoEye Stock Plans, each GeoEye Stock Option, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Unit outstanding at the Effective Time and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof (the “GeoEye Stock Plan Assumption”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe shall deliver to the holders of GeoEye Stock Options, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Units appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective GeoEye Stock Plans, and the agreements evidencing the grants of such GeoEye Stock Options, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Units shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 6.04 after giving effect to the Merger).

(g) DigitalGlobe shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or settlement of the GeoEye Stock Options, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Units assumed in accordance with this Section 6.04. DigitalGlobe shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock subject to GeoEye Stock Options, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Units and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the related prospectus or prospectuses) for so long as such GeoEye Stock Options, GeoEye Restricted Stock Award and GeoEye Restricted Stock Units remain outstanding.

Section 6.05 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) For a period of 6 years after the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe shall, and shall cause the Surviving LLC to, indemnify and hold harmless the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were officers, directors and employees of GeoEye or the GeoEye Subsidiaries or were serving at the request of GeoEye as an officer, director or employee of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken at the request of GeoEye or any of the GeoEye Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Effective Time to the extent provided under the GeoEye Charter or GeoEye By-laws in effect on the date of this Agreement (including with respect to the advancement of expenses). Prior to Closing, GeoEye may, for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by GeoEye’s or any GeoEye Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, cause coverage to be extended under such policies by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the annualized premiums for such policy shall not be in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid by GeoEye prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case GeoEye may purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. From and after the Closing, DigitalGlobe shall, or shall cause the Surviving LLC to, cause such “tail” policy to remain in full force and effect and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to amend, waive, modify or otherwise alter the terms thereunder. To the extent any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, such “tail” policy shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof. To the extent GeoEye does not obtain such a "tail" policy prior to the Closing, for a period of 6 years after the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe shall, or shall cause the Surviving LLC to, cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by GeoEye (provided that DigitalGlobe or the Surviving LLC, as the case may be, may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the Effective Time, neither DigitalGlobe nor the Surviving LLC, as the case may be, shall be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid by GeoEye prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. DigitalGlobe shall, and shall cause the Surviving LLC to, honor all indemnification agreements with the Indemnitees (including under the GeoEye By-laws) in effect as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) In the event that DigitalGlobe or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, DigitalGlobe shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of DigitalGlobe assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.05 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. DigitalGlobe shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.05, provided that such Indemnitee is successful in enforcing any such enforcement claim.

Section 6.06 Fees and Expenses; Termination Fees.

(a) Except as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated, except that (i) DigitalGlobe shall be responsible for paying all HSR Act filing fees and (ii) expenses incurred in connection with filing, printing and mailing the Joint Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 shall be shared equally by DigitalGlobe and GeoEye.

(e) DigitalGlobe and GeoEye acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Sections 6.06(b), 6.06(c) and 6.06(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither GeoEye nor DigitalGlobe would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if DigitalGlobe fails promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to Sections 6.06(b) or 6.06(c) or GeoEye fails promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to Sections 6.06(c) or 6.06(d), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Person owed such payment commences a suit, action or other proceeding that results in a Judgment in its favor for such payment, the Person owing such payment shall pay to the Person owed such payment its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, action or other proceeding, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

Each of GeoEye and DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Combination to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and to obtain the Tax opinions to be attached as exhibits to DigitalGlobe’s Joint Proxy Statement and Form S-4 and the Tax opinions described in Sections 7.02(d) and 7.03(d), including by (i) delivering to Latham & Watkins LLP and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, prior to the filing of the Joint Proxy Statement and Form S-4, tax representation letters in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Section 6.07(a) of the GeoEye Disclosure Letter and Section 6.07(b) of the DigitalGlobe Disclosure Letter, respectively, (ii) delivering to Latham & Watkins LLP and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP tax representation letters, dated and executed as of the dates of such Tax opinions, in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Section 6.07(a) of the GeoEye Disclosure Letter and Section 6.07(b) of the DigitalGlobe Disclosure Letter, respectively, (iii) not taking any action that such party knows is reasonably likely to prevent such qualification or to prevent the obtaining of such Tax opinions and (iv) executing such amendments to this Agreement as may be reasonably required in order to obtain such qualification (it being understood that no party will be required to agree to any such amendment). Each of GeoEye and DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts not to, and not permit or cause any Affiliate to, take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which inaction would cause to be untrue) any of the representations and covenants made to counsel in the tax representation letters described in this Section 6.07 or that would cause the Combination to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of GeoEye, DigitalGlobe, Merger Sub and Merger Sub 2 will report the Combination and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the treatment of the Combination as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

GeoEye and DigitalGlobe agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in a form agreed to by the parties.

Section 6.12 Stock Exchange Listing. DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock to be issued (a) in the Merger and (b) upon the exercise of GeoEye Stock Options or the vesting of GeoEye Restricted Stock Units, in each case under this clause (b) following the Effective Time, to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.16 Debt Tender and Consent Solicitation.

(a) GeoEye shall use its reasonable best efforts to commence, and shall assist DigitalGlobe in drafting, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of a written request from DigitalGlobe to do so (but in no event earlier than 20 days after the date of this Agreement), and to consummate in connection with the Closing as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law, an offer to purchase all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each series of GeoEye Notes designated in such written request from DigitalGlobe (a “Debt Tender Offer”) together with a solicitation of consents to amend provisions of GeoEye Indentures (a “Consent Solicitation” and collectively, the “Debt Tender Offer and Consent”), on such terms and conditions, including pricing terms, that are reasonably specified, from time to time, by DigitalGlobe.

(b) Without DigitalGlobe’s written consent, but subject to Section 6.16(c) and applicable Law, GeoEye shall not, and shall cause each GeoEye Subsidiary not to, amend, waive, extend or agree to pay any amount in connection with any Debt Tender Offer and Consent, defeasance or satisfaction and discharge with respect to GeoEye Notes or GeoEye Indentures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the closing of the Debt Tender Offer and Consent shall be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing and funded by amounts provided by DigitalGlobe and/or one or more DigitalGlobe Subsidiaries, and (y) GeoEye and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action in violation of Law in connection with the Debt Tender Offer and Consent. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, GeoEye shall accept for payment, and thereafter DigitalGlobe shall, or shall cause the Surviving LLC on DigitalGlobe’s behalf to, promptly pay for all GeoEye Notes that have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Debt Tender Offer and Consent and to deliver such GeoEye Notes to the applicable trustee for cancellation.

(c) GeoEye shall reasonably cooperate with DigitalGlobe in DigitalGlobe’s preparation of all necessary and appropriate documentation (including, if applicable, all mailings to the holders of GeoEye Notes and all reports and statements required to be filed with the SEC) in connection with the Debt Tender Offer and Consent. Such documentation shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, each party and such party’s legal counsel. If at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Tender Offer and Consent any information in such documentation is discovered by GeoEye or DigitalGlobe that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to such documentation, so that such documentation shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, then the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party thereof, and an appropriate amendment or supplement (including incorporating by reference) shall be prepared by the parties (subject to the reasonable review of, and comment by, their respective legal counsel) describing such information and shall be disseminated by or on behalf of GeoEye to the holders of GeoEye Notes.

(d) DigitalGlobe and GeoEye shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the Debt Tender Offer and Consent process. GeoEye shall keep DigitalGlobe reasonably informed and shall promptly provide DigitalGlobe all material information regarding the status, results and timing of the Debt Tender Offer and Consent. If the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding GeoEye Notes needed to consent to amendments of GeoEye Indentures have so consented, GeoEye shall promptly execute supplemental indentures to such GeoEye Indenture to effectuate such amendments that will become operative only immediately upon the Effective Time and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the trustee under each such GeoEye Indenture to enter into each such applicable supplemental indenture prior to or substantially simultaneously with the Closing.

(e) At DigitalGlobe’s written request, GeoEye shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries party to the applicable GeoEye Indenture to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all actions necessary and required to effect the redemption of any GeoEye Notes that otherwise would remain outstanding at the Closing and the satisfaction and discharge of any GeoEye Indenture with respect to any such GeoEye Notes, which satisfaction and discharge shall be effective upon the Closing; and GeoEye, if so requested by DigitalGlobe, shall concurrently with the Closing (w) give irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the applicable GeoEye Indenture to mail a notice of redemption to holders of such GeoEye Notes pursuant to such GeoEye Indenture, (x) deposit in trust all required funds or Government Securities (as defined in the applicable GeoEye Indenture) with respect to such redemption as set forth in the applicable GeoEye Indenture and give irrevocable instructions to the trustee under such GeoEye Indenture to apply the deposit toward the payment of such GeoEye Notes upon redemption, (y) pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable pursuant to such GeoEye Indenture, and (z) deliver to the trustee under the applicable GeoEye Indenture such “Officers’ Certificates,” “Opinions of Counsel,” any required accountants’ certificates and “Board Resolutions” in connection with a redemption (as such terms are defined in the applicable GeoEye Indenture) in form and substance satisfactory to such trustee as to satisfaction of all conditions precedent to such satisfaction and discharge, such redemption and as to the other matters set forth in the applicable GeoEye Indenture; and GeoEye shall take all such other actions as are required to satisfy and discharge each such GeoEye Indenture; and GeoEye shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the trustee under each GeoEye Indenture to acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of such GeoEye Indenture in writing promptly upon satisfaction of the conditions therein. For the avoidance of doubt, GeoEye shall not be obligated to call for redemption any GeoEye Notes or make any payments or deposit any funds under this Section 6.16(e) unless GeoEye shall have received from DigitalGlobe the amounts required to deposit with the applicable trustee to pay the redemption price for the applicable GeoEye Notes as required pursuant to the applicable GeoEye Indenture and pay or cause to be paid all other sums, including accrued interest and trustee fees and expenses, payable pursuant to such GeoEye Indenture in connection therewith.

(a) Unless, and to the extent, DigitalGlobe has sufficient cash from other sources available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and for the Refinancing, from and after the execution of this Agreement, DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any replacement of all or any portion of any facilities (or commitments thereof) described in, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter, if such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount except by operation of the “market flex” provisions) or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of any portion of the Financing in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing or the Closing Date or (B) make the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing materially less likely to occur or (C) adversely impact the ability of DigitalGlobe to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements, in any material respect, including any right to seek specific performance of the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements. Subject to the limitations set out in the first sentence of this Section 6.17(a), DigitalGlobe may amend, supplement, modify or replace the Commitment Letter as in effect at the date hereof (x) to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, (y) to increase the amount of indebtedness and (z) to replace all or a portion of the facility committed under the Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof with one or more new facilities under such Commitment Letter or under any new commitment letter or facility (any such new commitment or facility, a “Replacement Facility”) in a manner not materially less beneficial to DigitalGlobe (as determined in the reasonable judgment of DigitalGlobe), provided that any amendments, modifications or replacements of any Replacement Facility shall be subject to the same limitations that apply to the Commitment Letter as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.17(a). For purposes of this Agreement, (1) the term “Financing” shall be deemed to include the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 6.17 (including any Replacement Facility, any Alternative Financing), and (2) the term “Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Commitment Letter as may be permitted to be amended, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 6.17, any Replacement Facility, and any commitment letters with respect to the Alternative Financing and any related fee letters (it being understood that any Replacement Facility or Alternative Financing shall be subject to the terms herein that apply to the Commitment Letter).

(b) Unless, and to the extent, DigitalGlobe has sufficient cash from other sources available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and for the Refinancing, DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter pursuant to its terms (except for amendments not prohibited by Section 6.17(a)) until the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions (including any applicable “market flex” provisions) contained in the Commitment Letter (“Definitive Agreements”) or on other terms not materially less favorable to DigitalGlobe than the terms and conditions (including any applicable “market flex” provisions) contained in the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions to funding in the Commitment Letter that are within its control and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing, (iv) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter in the event of a breach or other failure to fund the Financing required to consummate the Refinancing on the Closing Date by the lenders and other Persons providing Financing and (v) comply in all material respects with its covenants and other obligations under the Commitment Letter (or obtain the waiver thereof).

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, DigitalGlobe shall give GeoEye reasonably prompt notice: (i) of any material breach or default by any party to the Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Financing of which it becomes aware; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing and (iii) if for any reason DigitalGlobe believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing required to consummate the Refinancing.

(d) Unless, and to the extent, DigitalGlobe has sufficient cash from other sources available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and for the Refinancing, in the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, DigitalGlobe shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, arrange alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Refinancing (the “Alternative Financing”) following the occurrence of such event; provided however, that DigitalGlobe shall not be required to obtain financing which includes terms and conditions materially less favorable (taking into account any “market flex” provision) to DigitalGlobe, in each case relative to those in the Financing being replaced. DigitalGlobe shall promptly notify GeoEye of the receipt of any written notice from any lender named in the Commitment Letter to withdraw, terminate or reduce the aggregate amount of Financing contemplated by, the Commitment Letter.

(e) On and prior to the Closing, GeoEye shall, and shall cause GeoEye Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives to reasonably cooperate with DigitalGlobe in connection with the arrangement of Financing, including (i) promptly providing the Financing Sources and their agents with all financial and other pertinent information regarding GeoEye and GeoEye Subsidiaries required to be delivered pursuant to the Commitment Letter or as may be reasonably requested by DigitalGlobe or the Financing Sources or their respective agents to prepare customary bank information memoranda and lender presentations in connection with such Financing; (ii) participating (including by making members of senior management with appropriate seniority and expertise available to participate) in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, “road shows”, drafting sessions and sessions with the rating agencies in connection with the Financing; (iii) reasonably cooperating with the Financing Sources’ and its agents’ due diligence, to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of GeoEye; (iv) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts for any portion of the Financing, including using its reasonable best efforts to ensure that any syndication effort benefits from any existing banking relationship; (v) reasonably cooperating with DigitalGlobe’s preparation of bank information memoranda and similar documents, rating agency presentations, and road show presentations used to complete such Financing, to the extent information contained therein relates to the business of GeoEye and GeoEye Subsidiaries; (vi) using reasonable best efforts to cause its certified independent auditors to provide, in connection with the Financing, (A) applicable consent to SEC filings that include or incorporate GeoEye’s consolidated financial information (with such changes as GeoEye and its auditors deem necessary or appropriate) and their reports thereon, in each case, to the extent such consent is required, auditors reports and comfort letters with respect to financial information relating to GeoEye and GeoEye Subsidiaries in customary form and (B) other documentation (including reasonable assistance in the preparation of pro forma financial statements by DigitalGlobe, to the extent such other documentation is required); provided that it is understood that assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments to be made are the responsibility of DigitalGlobe; (vii) providing customary certificates, legal opinions of internal counsel or other customary closing documents as may be reasonably requested by DigitalGlobe or its Financing Sources in connection with the Financing; (viii) entering into one or more credit or other agreements on terms contemplated by the Commitment Letter in connection with the Financing; (ix) taking all actions reasonably necessary in connection with the payoff of existing indebtedness of GeoEye and GeoEye Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and the release of related Liens on the Closing Date (including any necessary prepayment of GeoEye’s existing indebtedness); (x) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents or other definitive financing documents reasonably requested by DigitalGlobe or its Financing Sources in connection with the Financing, in each case of clauses (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x), conditional upon the actual occurrence of the Closing; (xi) reasonably cooperating with DigitalGlobe in providing customary information with respect to its property and assets reasonably required in connection with the Financing and reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral and providing of guarantees with respect to the Financing upon Closing and, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, taking corporate actions necessary to permit the consummation of the Financing; (xii) assisting DigitalGlobe as reasonably requested thereby in seeking to obtain ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard and Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc., with respect to the borrower of the Financing and the senior secured facilities described in the Commitment Letter; and (xiii) delivering to DigitalGlobe for further distribution to the lenders under the Financing all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable "know-your-customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the U.S.A. PATRIOT ACT (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2011)); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of GeoEye or the GeoEye Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) neither GeoEye nor any of the GeoEye Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any out-of-pocket cost or expense not reimbursed by DigitalGlobe or to pay any commitment or any similar fee or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing, prior to the Closing and (B) neither GeoEye nor any of the GeoEye Subsidiaries shall be required to execute prior to the Closing any definitive financing documents, including any credit or other agreements, pledge or security documents, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents in connection with the Financing. All non-public or other confidential information provided by GeoEye or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.17(e) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that DigitalGlobe shall be permitted to disclose such information to potential financing sources and to rating agencies during the syndication and marketing of the Financing subject to customary confidentiality undertakings by such potential financing sources.

(f) DigitalGlobe shall indemnify and hold harmless GeoEye, GeoEye Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Financing or the arrangement thereof (including any action taken in accordance with Section 6.17(e)) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information relating to GeoEye or GeoEye Subsidiaries provided to DigitalGlobe in writing on or behalf of GeoEye, GeoEye Subsidiaries or its and their Representatives expressly for use in connection with the Financing). For purposes of Section 7.02(b), the obligations of GeoEye as set forth in the foregoing Section 6.17(e)(vi)(A) shall be deemed to exclude the phrase “using reasonable best efforts”.

Section 6.18 Integration Planning. Subject to applicable Law, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, DigitalGlobe and GeoEye will cooperate with each other in connection with the integration of the two companies, including taking the actions set forth on Section 6.18 of the DigitalGlobe Disclosure Letter and Section 6.18 of the GeoEye Disclosure Letter, respectively.

Following the date hereof until 10 Business Days prior to the shipment by GeoEye of any satellite to a launch site and upon reasonable advance notice, GeoEye shall provide access by a Qualified DigitalGlobe Team (at DigitalGlobe’s sole cost and expense) to such satellite for purposes of testing and de-bugging a DigitalGlobe-developed software module to be installed on DigitalGlobe ground station equipment in connection with telemetry, tracking and control communications to and from such satellite after launch. Nothing herein shall require GeoEye to make or cause to be made any modifications to any of its satellites or to delay the shipment or launch of any of its satellites and the parties agree that all decisions to modify, launch or ship for launch any of GeoEye’s satellites remain in GeoEye’s sole discretion. GeoEye shall provide such documentation and information to the Qualified DigitalGlobe Team as they may reasonably require for such testing and de-bugging of the DigitalGlobe-developed software module. A “Qualified DigitalGlobe Team” shall mean engineering personnel (including any third party contractor personnel) designated by DigitalGlobe and reasonably acceptable to GeoEye who have signed written confidentiality agreements prepared by and for the benefit of GeoEye and its contractors (reasonably acceptable to DigitalGlobe) intended to protect any proprietary or competitively sensitive information, source code or data belonging to GeoEye or its contractors from unauthorized or illegal use.

[See attached]

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES

AND RIGHTS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

DIGITALGLOBE, INC.

DigitalGlobe, Inc. (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") by Article Fourth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL, the Board adopted resolutions (i) designating a series of the Company's previously authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of eighty thousand (80,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, as follows:

RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue eighty thousand (80,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Shares"), which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:

(1) Preferred Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends ("Dividends") at the Dividend Rate payable on the Liquidation Preference of such Preferred Shares as of the applicable Dividend Date (or, for the initial Dividend Period, as of the Initial Issuance Date). Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall commence accruing on the Initial Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed. Dividends shall be payable in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 (each, a "Dividend Date" and each such quarterly period (or shorter period in the case of the first such period following the Initial Issuance Date) being a "Dividend Period") with the first Dividend Date being [ ], 20[ ]. If a Dividend Date is not a Business Day, then the Dividend shall be payable on the Business Day immediately following such Dividend Date. At the Company's option, dividends may be declared and paid in cash out of funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Company; provided that if Dividends are not declared and paid in cash on any Dividend Date for the immediately preceding Dividend Period, then such Dividend shall automatically accrue and be added to the Liquidation Preference as of such Dividend Date, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such Dividends. On each Dividend Date, if the Company does not have current or accumulated "earnings and profits" within the meaning of Sections 301 and 312 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, through such Dividend Date, the Company shall not withhold any amount of the applicable Dividend in respect of U.S. federal income tax.

(2) Participation in Common Dividends. In addition to the Dividends provided in Section 1, in the event of any dividend or distribution declared on or paid on the Common Stock (other than a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock that results in an adjustment under Section 3(e)), the Holders shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

(3) Conversion of Preferred Shares. Preferred Shares shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Holder's Conversion Right. At any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, any Holder shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Preferred Shares, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid Dividends per Preferred Share, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate.

(b) Conversion. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined according to the following formula (the "Conversion Rate"):

Conversion Amount

Conversion Price

No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Share, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

(i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on a date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and the Company's designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates representing the Preferred Shares being converted (or certificates issued in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 12) (the "Preferred Stock Certificates").

(ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (A) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one (1) Trading Day, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (B) on or before the third (3^rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), (X) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the "Preferred Stock Delivery Date") and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(iii)Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(iv)Company's Failure to Timely Convert.

(A)Cash Damages. If (x) within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares or (y) within three (3) Trading Days of the Company's receipt of a Preferred Stock Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), then the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Preferred Stock Delivery Date that such Preferred Stock Certificate is not delivered in an amount equal to one (1.0%) of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a new Preferred Stock Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred Stock Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate as of the Preferred Stock Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, or the Preferred Stock Delivery Date, in the case of failure to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate. If any such cash damages described above are not paid when due in cash, then the amount of such cash damages shall (unless the Required Holders shall have given notice to the Company otherwise) automatically accrue and be added to the Liquidation Preference as of such due date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(B) Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv)(A) or otherwise.

(v) Book-Entry. Upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company. In the event some, but not all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate physically surrendered are converted, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted as required by Section 3(c)(ii). The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

(d) Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments made by the Company hereunder, including any amounts received on a conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless required by law. If the Company is required by applicable law to make a Tax Deduction (or in connection therewith that there is a change in the applicable law with respect to rate or the basis of such Tax Deduction), it must notify the affected Holders promptly.

(ii) If the Company is required by applicable law to make a Tax Deduction, it must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by such applicable law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by such applicable law.

As soon as practicable after making a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Company must deliver to the Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom such Tax Deduction was paid.

(iii)In addition, the Company agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, the Preferred Shares ("Other Taxes"). As soon as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the Company must deliver to such Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.

(iv) The obligations of the Company under this Section 3(d) shall survive any payment for the Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Adjustments to Conversion Price. If the Company at any time after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(f) Notices.

(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3(e), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.

(ii) The Company will give written notice to each Holder on or prior to the later of (x) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Reorganization Event or Liquidation Event or (y) the time such information is made known to the public.

(iii) The Company will also give written notice to each Holder on or prior to the later of (x) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Reorganization Event or Liquidation Event will take place or (y) the time such information is made known to the public.

(4) Redemption at the Option of the Company.

(a) Option. If at any time after September 22, 2016, (i) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock listed on the Principal Market exceeds 175% of the Conversion Price then in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and (ii) no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred, the Company shall have the right to redeem at its option all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares; provided, that (i) the Company may redeem less than all of the Preferred Shares only upon written consent of the Required Holders and (ii) the Company may not redeem any Preferred Shares that the Holders would not be able to convert due to a failure by the Company to have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of Preferred Shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to each Preferred Share called for redemption (a "Company Optional Redemption"). Subject to the consent of the Required Holders in the preceding sentence, in the event the Company redeems pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above less than all of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders the Company shall redeem such Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis determined by the aggregate number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder.

(b) Redemption Price and Payment. The Preferred Shares to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 4 shall be redeemed by the Company by paying for each such Preferred Share cash, out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference plus Accrued Dividends as of the Company Optional Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price").

(c) Mechanics of Redemption. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 4 by delivering an irrevocable written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the "Company Optional Redemption Notice" and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the "Company Optional Redemption Notice Date"). To the extent the Company, subject to consent of the Required Holders, did not redeem all of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders on its initial distribution of the Company Optional Redemption Notice, the Company may deliver an additional Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder (subject to the conditions set forth herein) and such additional Company Optional Redemption Notice shall also be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall state (i) the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the "Company Optional Redemption Date"), which date shall not be less than thirty (30) Trading Days nor more than sixty (60) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, and (iv) that the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to each Preferred Share called for redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to a Company Optional Redemption Notice may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holders into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.

(5) Protective Redemption. Prior to any redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant to paragraph (c) of Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Protective Redemption Provisions"), the Holders shall first be given no less than 30 days' prior written notice (or such lesser time as to not cause undue jeopardy to the retention or restatement of the applicable license or franchise (within the meaning of the Certificate of Incorporation)) prior to the exercise of the Protective Redemption Provisions, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption under the Protective Redemption Provisions may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock. To the extent the Board may elect under paragraph (c) of the Protective Redemption Provisions which Disqualified Holder (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) shall be subject to redemption by the Company, the Board shall, except to the extent as may be prohibited by applicable Law, first elect to redeem the Voting Stock of Disqualified Holders other than the holders of Preferred Shares and Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof and only in the event that after giving effect to such redemptions additional redemptions are still necessary to prevent the loss of or to reinstate the applicable license or franchise which give rise to the redemptions may the Board thereafter elect to redeem the Preferred Shares or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof. In the event of any redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Protective Redemption Provisions, the Company shall pay the redemption price in full in cash, and shall not use any election under paragraph (b) of the Protective Redemption Provisions to pay any portion of the redemption price in notes or Redemption Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation). The foregoing rights are in addition to and not in substitution of the rights of holders of Voting Stock set forth in the Protective Redemption Provisions.

(6) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each of the Preferred Shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Preferred Share. The Company shall, so long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Preferred Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding.

(7) Voting Rights. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder's Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting, and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock as if they were a single class of securities upon any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.

(8) Approval Rights. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Company may:

(a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation or the Company's bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock of the Company, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided herein for the benefit of the Preferred Shares; and

(b) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company's Capital Stock of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, other than dividends with respect to which the Holders are entitled to participate pursuant to Section 2.

(9) Liquidation. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Liquidation Funds"), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the Capital Stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Preference plus Accrued Dividends; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (the "Pari Passu Shares"), if any, then each Holder and each holder of any such Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations, preferences and rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. After the foregoing distributions, the Holders shall be entitled, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all of the Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere), to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 9. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 9 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 9 applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.

(10) Reorganization Events. In the event of:

(i) any consolidation or merger or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

(ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will receive a distribution of cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

(iii) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Common Stock; or

(iv) any statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another Person to the extent not set forth above;

(each of the foregoing events, a "Reorganization Event"), each Preferred Share outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event will, without the consent of Holders, automatically become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash, and other property or assets that a holder (that was not the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an Affiliate of such other party) of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate per Preferred Share prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash, and other property or assets, the "Reference Property"). In the event that holders of the shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the consideration that the Holders are entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of the holders of the shares of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election. The amount of Reference Property receivable upon conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 3 shall be determined based upon the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date. If the Holders receive only cash in such Reorganization Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Reorganization Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each Preferred Share shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate on the Conversion Date multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Reorganization Event. The above provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

(11) Ranking. All shares of Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon Liquidation Event. The rights of the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares.

(12) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s); provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into Common Stock.

(13) Construction. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Initial Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.

(14) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

(15) Notice. Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given to the Holders listed in the register for the Preferred Shares at the addresses set forth therein.

(16) Preferred Share Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

(17) Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the applicable Eligible Market, the DGCL, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the Preferred Shares may be effected by written consent of the Required Holders or at a duly called meeting of the Company's stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Eligible Market and the DGCL. This provision is intended to comply with respect to the Preferred Shares with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

(18) Further Assurances. Upon request of the Holders, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Certificate of Designation.
