(*)           At the end of the tests, the Purchaser shall ship back to Contractor’s facility in Cannes the satellite mass simulator with its container for destruction purposes.  The satellite mass simulator will therefore be delivered on a temporary basis.  Cost for the shipping back to Cannes shall be paid by the Contractor.

 

(B)           The delivery dates for Spacecraft to be delivered under Phase 3 shall be made pursuant to the Regular Delivery as set forth in Exhibit F and the payment plan shall be the one corresponding to the Regular Delivery as set forth in Exhibit F.

 

(C)           Each Spacecraft which is Available for Shipment shall be transported along with associated Ground Support Equipment at Contractor’s risk and expense Delivered Duty Unpaid, Incoterms 2000, to the airport nearest to the Launch Site selected for the launch of the respective Spacecraft, unless Purchaser directs Contractor to deliver the Spacecraft to storage in accordance with Article 29.

 

The propellant shall be transported at Contractor’s risk and expense Delivered Duty Unpaid, Incoterms 2000, to the harbour agreed with the Launch Service Provider.  The Launch Service Provider shall be responsible at its own costs to transport (i) the Spacecraft from the airport to the Launch Site, (ii) the propellant from the harbour to the Launch Site, and (iii) the Satellites and the propellant within the Launch Site.

 

If the Spacecraft requires repair after delivery to the Launch Site, all transportation from the Launch Site to the repair facility and back shall be a the expense of Contractor.  Contractor shall be responsible at its risk and expense for removing or disposing all of its Ground Support Equipment and remaining Satellite propellant, if any, used on or brought to the Launch Site from the Launch Site after completion of launches.

 

The DSSs, the Satellite OBPE Software and the Satellite Mass Simulator shall be transported at Contractor’s risk and expense Delivered Duty Unpaid, Incoterms 2000, to the required destination as specified in the Table above.

 

(D)          The Contractor shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any event which may delay or prevent the performance by Contractor of any of its obligations under this Contract.

1.6          Article 7.  Payment is entirely replaced by the following wording:

 

(A)          Payment terms shall be in accordance with this Article 7 and Exhibit F to this Contract.  Purchaser shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) Days after the date or receipt of an emailed invoice confirmed electronically.  Purchaser shall have the right to draw down of the Escrow Fund to make payments if the Balance of the Escrow Fund is greater that the Deposit Requirement for the then current Quarter.

 

(i)            Starting January 1, 2007 and until the Contract is paid in full, Contractor shall on the first Day of each quarter provide Purchaser with one (1) original of the invoice for the total amount of payments due during that quarter, including both calendar payments and payments for Milestone Events, in accordance with Exhibit F.  So there is no misunderstanding, the Parties agree that the invoice for and payment of the first payment (fourth quarter of 2006) shall be handled as set forth in Article 32.

 

Page 8

 

(ii)           Beginning with the quarter that starts April 1, 2007, Contractor shall deliver to Purchaser, along with each quarterly invoice, supporting documentation confirming completion of the Milestone Events which were to have been achieved during the quarter prior to the quarter in which the invoice is delivered.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding paragraph (i) and (ii) above, beginning with the period that starts July 1, 2008 and ending December 31st, 2009, Contractor shall invoice Purchaser monthly payments in accordance with Exhibit F.  Contractor shall provide supporting documentation confirming completion of Milestone Events which were to have been achieved during the previous quarter with first monthly invoice of the following quarter.

 

(B)           Should Contractor fail to achieve during a given quarter one or more Milestone Events for which payment has already been made, then Contractor shall deduct the amount relating to each such unachieved Milestone Event from the invoice Contractor delivers at the beginning of the following quarter.

 

Except as set forth in he preceding sentence, any delay in the achievement of a particular Milestone Event will have no impact on the amount invoiced at the beginning of the subsequent quarter.  Any amount deducted in accordance with this Article 7(B) will be re-invoiced with supporting documentation submitted with the invoice for the quarter following completion of such Milestone Event, and Purchaser shall make payment to Contractor in accordance with such invoice after such completion.

 

(i)            If after five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of an invoice, Purchaser has not notified Contractor of a dispute of the invoice, starting the reason for such dispute, then all Milestone Events scheduled to occur during the preceding quarter shall be deemed complete, and payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Days of receipt of the emailed invoice.  For purposes of Exhibit F, a Milestone Event shall be deemed to have been completed by Contractor when all requirements

associated with the particular Milestone Event shall have been completed in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.

 

(ii)           If Purchaser disputes only part of a Milestone Event, then Purchaser shall pay to the Contractor the amount corresponding to the undisputed portion of such Milestone Event.

 

The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the settlement of the disputed portion and the agreed upon amount shall be paid by Purchaser after such settlement.  No dispute with respect to the payment of any amount under this Contract shall relieve the disputing Party of its obligation to pay all other amounts due and owing under this Contract.  The Parties agree that in no event shall there be a dispute about a calendar payment, and that a dispute over a Milestone Event payment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to make subsequent payments.

 

(C)           The Parties agree that a portion of the total Price as set forth in Article 4 amount to one hundred forty six million eight hundred thirty one thousand five hundred thirty Euros (146,831,530 Euros) shall be invoiced in Euros and paid by Purchaser to Contractor in US Dollars based on the fixed EUR/USD exchange rate of 1 Euro = US Dollar 1.2940.  This amount will not be subject to increase or decrease due to changes in exchange rates between he Euro and the US Dollar.  The payment schedule for this amount payable in US Dollars is as set forth in Exhibit F.  All other payments set forth in the Contract will be invoiced by and paid to Contractor in Euros.

 

(D)          Contractor may, from time to time, submit an invoice requesting partial payment for a partially completed Milestone Event.  If Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, determines such partial payment to be appropriate under the circumstances, then Purchaser shall make such partial payment, and the remainder of the Milestone Event payment shall be paid at such time as the Milestone Event is completed.

 

(E)           In the event that Contractor achieves any Milestone Event in advance of the scheduled achievement date provided for in Exhibit F and provided that the cumulative amount of payments shall not exceed the schedule set forth in Exhibit F, then subject to Purchaser’s agreement, the contractor shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for such achieved Milestone Event.  Purchaser shall pay for any such Milestone Event, subject to having received the required supporting documentation.

 

In the case where the Contractor would achieve Schedule Saving in the frame of the implementation of Early Delivery ED2 scenario, the Contractor shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for Early Delivery Incentives.  In this specific case, payments may exceed the cumulative amount of payments set forth in Exhibit F.

 

(F)           Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Party entitled to payment, all transfers of funds in accordance with this Contract from one Party to the other Party shall be sent to the receiving Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following bank accounts:
