Section 6.2                 Covenants Regarding InformationFrom the date hereof until the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by applicable United States export control Laws and the Company TAAs in place and upon reasonable notice, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall afford the Buyers and their Representatives reasonable access to the Representatives, assets, properties and books and records (including Returns, Tax information and records) of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall furnish the Buyers with all such information and data (including copies of Contracts and such other financial, operating and other data and information as the Buyers may reasonably request) and shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the Buyers and, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company as to the choice of an independent consultant, any Person who might perform any testing or have access to any information, including without limitation, any independent consultant conducting tests and confirmatory audits of the propellant or bi-propellant status and the Available Satellite Operational Capability of the Company Satellites (and shall permit the Buyers to observe such tests and audits); provided, however, that any such testing, audits and accessing or furnishing of information (other than testing conducted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)) shall be conducted at the Buyers’ expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Company’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or with the operation or use (including by the Company’s customers) of the Company Satellites or risk harm to them; and, provided, further, that except as provided in Section 6.2(b) below, nothing herein, including any consent that may be given by the Company for the conduct of particular tests or audits, shall be deemed to bind the Company or any Seller to any conclusion that either any Buyer or consultant may derive from such testing or audits.  To the extent permitted by applicable United States export control Laws, the Company and the Sellers shall be provided with all copies of instructions, descriptions of methodology to be performed, test and audit results, all draft instructions, methodologies, reports and any other documents prepared by any Buyer or any consultant with regard to such tests and audits.

(b)                                         Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(a) above, the Company shall, within 10 Business Days of the Execution Date, retain an Approved Consultant to conduct a bookkeeping audit of the Company’s calculation of available fuel propellant or bi-propellant on Satmex 5 and Satmex 6 and a thermal (pvt) measurement of the available fuel propellant or bi-propellant on Satmex 5.  As used herein, an “Approved Consultant” shall be any of: (i) Comsat Technical Services or Lockheed Martin Technical Services; (ii) the manufacturer of the applicable Company Satellite; or (iii) an Affiliate of the manufacturer of the applicable Company Satellite, which said manufacturer recommended in writing to both the Buyers and the Company as the appropriate and qualified entity to conduct such audit or testing.  The Approved Consultant shall determine, in accordance with reasonable engineering standards for professional satellite engineers, by written report to be issued to the Buyers, the Company, and the Sellers as promptly as practicable, whether, and only

Section 6.10                           ConfidentialityEach party hereto shall hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any Person (other than any such Affiliate or Representative), unless (a) such Person is a Trust Beneficiary, holder of First Priority Notes or Holder of Second Priority Notes, or a Representative of any such Person, and only to the extent that the Company determines that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, (b) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including without limitation in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby of Governmental Authorities) or by other requirements of Law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or (c) disclosed in an action or proceeding brought by a party in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder, all documents and information concerning the other party or any of its Affiliates furnished to it by the other party or such other party’s Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the Sellers, all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by the Person receiving such documents or information, (ii) in the public domain or otherwise lawfully available to the public (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no fault of such receiving Person or (iii) later acquired by the receiving Person from another source if the receiving Person is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another party to keep such documents and information confidential; provided, that following the Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to the Buyers’ use of documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished by each Seller hereunder.  In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, upon the request of the other party, each party will, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, promptly redeliver or cause to be redelivered or destroyed all copies of documents and information furnished by the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the party furnished such documents and information or its Representatives.  The parties acknowledge and agree that either party may file this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, provided that: (i) prior to any such filing, the party that is filing the Agreement shall provide prior notice of such to the other party; and (ii) the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the portion hereof, if any, for which confidential
