          (c) Skynet shall have a period of 30 Business Days following its receipt of the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule to notify Holdco of any disagreements that Skynet may have with respect to Holdco’s calculations of the Final Adjustment Amount (calculated excluding the Actual Interim Taxes Due) and/or the Actual Interim Taxes Due set forth in the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule (it being understood that, in the event that Skynet fails for any reason whatsoever to so notify Holdco of any such disagreement within 30 Business Days after Skynet’s receipt of the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule, the Final Adjustment Amount (calculated excluding the Actual Interim Taxes Due) and the Actual Interim Taxes Due set forth in the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule shall be deemed to be the Final Adjustment Amount (calculated excluding the Actual Interim Taxes Due) and the Actual Interim Taxes Due, respectively, for all purposes under this Agreement). During such 30-Business Day period, Skynet may request, and Holdco shall provide to Skynet and its accountants and other representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to, or copies of, as Skynet or such accountants and other representatives shall reasonably request, the information (including the books and records of Holdco and its Subsidiaries), data and work papers used in connection with the preparation of the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule and/or the calculations set forth therein, and will make Holdco’s and its Subsidiaries’ personnel and accountants available to Skynet and its accountants and other representative to discuss any such information, data or work papers. In the event that Skynet timely notifies Holdco of any disagreement with the Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule or any of the calculations set forth therein, Holdco and Skynet shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement. If within 15 Business Days after the commencement of such good faith negotiations, Holdco and Skynet are unable to resolve such disagreement, either Holdco or Skynet shall have the right to submit the determination for resolution pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of the Ancillary Agreement.

          (d) Upon the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, the amount payable in respect of such finally determined Final Adjustment Amount shall be paid as provided in Section 1.2(b) of the Ancillary Agreement.

     2.8. MAE Adjustment.

          (a) In the event that the Business shall have experienced or suffered a Business Material Adverse Effect between September 30, 2006 and the Closing Date, following the Closing Parent shall pay to Holdco a cash amount equal to diminution in the value (if any) of the Business constituting such Business Material Adverse Effect, after taking into account any insurance proceeds paid or payable to Holdco or any of its respective Subsidiaries in respect thereof (such diminution in value, as agreed by the parties or determined pursuant to Section 2.8(c), if any, expressed in Canadian dollars at the Agreed Exchange Rate, the “MAE Adjustment Amount”); provided, however, that Parent shall only be obligated to pay the MAE Adjustment Amount in cash if it has or could reasonably acquire the financial resources to do so through the use of its commercially reasonable efforts, but for the avoidance of doubt, without any obligation to (i) sell any of its assets, (ii) incur any Lien on its direct or indirect equity interests in SS/L or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) cause SS/L or any of its Subsidiaries to borrow, give any security for or guarantee any Obligation.

          (b) To the extent the MAE Adjustment Amount is not settled in cash pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and, if applicable, Section 2.1 of the Ancillary Agreement, it shall be settled: (i) first, by reduction of the number of the Holdco Non-Voting Preferred Shares issued to Skynet by an amount equal to (A) C$10, divided into (B) the MAE Adjustment Amount, until such number of Holdco Non-Voting Preferred Shares is reduced to zero; and (ii) second, after the number of Holdco Non-Voting Preferred Shares is reduced to zero per the immediately preceding clause (i), and to the extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, any portion of the MAE Adjustment Amount shall have not been satisfied, then by reduction of the number of Holdco Common Shares by an amount equal to (A) C$10, divided into (B) such unsatisfied portion of the MAE Adjustment Amount, provided that in no case shall the number of Holdco Common Shares be reduced hereby to less than one.

          (c) If Holdco notifies Skynet that a Business Material Adverse Effect has occurred, Skynet and Holdco shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon whether or not such event has occurred, and, if so, the amount of the MAE Adjustment Amount in respect thereof. If Skynet and Holdco are unable or otherwise fail to so agree within 30 days after the commencement of such negotiations, Skynet or Holdco may, upon written notice to the other, refer the determination for resolution pursuant to Section 2 of the Ancillary Agreement.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the occurrence of a Business Material Adverse Effect shall not relieve the parties of their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, if at the time that all the conditions to the Closing shall have been satisfied or waived, Skynet and Holdco shall have not yet reached agreement as to the MAE Adjustment Amount under this Section 2.8 or, if the determination has been referred to an arbitrator pursuant to Section 2 of the Ancillary Agreement, such arbitrator has not yet rendered its decision, the parties agree that the Closing shall nevertheless proceed and Holdco shall pay and deliver (as applicable) to Skynet the consideration in the respect of the Transferred Property set forth in Section 2.5 without any reduction or setoff in respect of such Business Material Adverse Effect, it being understood that such consideration shall remain subject to adjustment after the Closing as set forth in this Section 2.8.

ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     3.1. Representations and Warranties of Skynet.

          Except as disclosed in the Skynet Disclosure Letter, Skynet hereby represents and warrants to Holdco as of the date hereof and, except as disclosed in the Skynet Disclosure Letter and/or as affected by the execution or performance of the Transaction Agreements or the Share Purchase Agreement, Skynet hereby represents and warrants to Holdco as of the Closing Date as follows, and acknowledges that Holdco is relying upon such representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby:

          (a) Corporate Organization and Qualification. Skynet is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Each Subsidiary of Skynet is validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and (i) each such Subsidiary that is set forth in Section 3.1(a) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter and designated as an operating Subsidiary is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and (ii) each such other Subsidiary is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, except where the failure of such Subsidiary to be in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect. Each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries is in good standing and duly registered, licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction where the properties owned, leased or operated, or the business conducted, by it requires such registration, license or qualification, except where the failure to so be in good standing and duly registered, licensed or qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect. Each of Skynet and its material Subsidiaries has the corporate power and capacity to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

          (b) Subsidiaries. Section 3.1(b) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of the Subsidiaries of Skynet, the percentage of each class of shares or other ownership interests in the capital of Subsidiaries owned directly or indirectly by Skynet, and the jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of each such Subsidiary. Other than as set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter or as contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, Skynet does not own and does not have any agreements of any nature pursuant to which Skynet is obligated to acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares in the capital of or other equity or proprietary interest in any other Person.

          (c) Corporate Authority. Each of Parent and Skynet has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. This Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement have each been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Skynet and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Holdco, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the

Parent and Skynet, enforceable against the Parent and Skynet in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (provided that such exception shall not apply to any limitation of such enforcement resulting from the Bankruptcy Cases). Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, the approval of the stockholders of Parent is not required in order for Skynet to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. The stockholder of Skynet has approved and consented to, in accordance with applicable Delaware law, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement.

          (d) Filings and Approvals. Other than the Transaction Approvals and the Third Party Consents, no notices, reports or other filings, and no consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations, are required to be made or obtained by Parent, Skynet or Buyer with or from any Governmental Entity or any other Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement, except where the failure to make or obtain any or all of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) No Violation. The execution and delivery by each of Parent and Skynet of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party do not, and, subject to the Transaction Approvals and the Third Party Consents being obtained, the consummation by Parent, Skynet and Buyer of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles, by-laws or the comparable governing instruments of any of Parent, Skynet or Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) a breach or violation of, a default under, the triggering of any payment or other material obligation pursuant to, the acceleration of (with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time) any provision of any Material Contract or any material Contract to which either Buyer or Parent is a party, (iii) a breach or violation of any Law to which Parent or Skynet or any Subsidiary of Skynet is subject, (iv) any change in the rights or obligations of Skynet or Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries under any Material Contract, or under any Permit that is material to Skynet, Buyer or the Business or (v) the creation of any Lien or the forfeiture of any asset of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (ii) through (v) for such breaches, violations, defaults, accelerations or changes that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect.

          (f) Compliance with Laws. The Business has been, and is being, conducted, in all material respects, in compliance with all Laws applicable to the Business. Other than Tax audits in the ordinary course, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Business, Skynet or any Subsidiary of Skynet is pending or, to the knowledge of Skynet, threatened. Skynet and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries hold or have the right to use, or other access to, all orbital slot authorizations for each of the Skynet Satellites required to operate the Business as currently conducted in all material respects. Each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries has and is in compliance with all permits, licenses, franchises, variances, exemptions, registrations, regulatory decisions, mandatory policies, procedures and standards, orders and other governmental authorizations, consents and approvals (collectively, “Permits”),

including ITU regulations and other international treaties or agreements, necessary to operate the Skynet Satellites and to conduct the Business as currently conducted, except for those the absence of or non-compliance with which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or Skynet Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Skynet, there has occurred no material violation of, material default under, or event giving to any Person any right of termination, amendment or cancellation of any Permit material to the Business. Neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries nor Parent has received notice of any revocation or modification of any Permit, except for revocations or modifications which have not had, and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect. Skynet is eligible to hold, and is in material compliance with the terms of, the earth station licenses which relate to the Major Stations and the space station authorizations set forth in Section 3.1(f) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter (the “Business Radio Licenses”).

          (g) Financial Statements. The consolidated balance sheets included in the Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Skynet and its Subsidiaries as of their respective dates, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows included in the Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows, as the case may be, of Skynet and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein, in each case in accordance with GAAP as in effect for such periods.

          (h) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Skynet and its Subsidiaries have no liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether or not accrued, absolute, contingent, liquidated or unliquidated or otherwise, whether due or to become due and whether or not required to be recorded or reflected on a balance sheet under GAAP, arising out or relating to the Business, except for (i) liabilities identified in the Financial Statements, (ii) liabilities related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and the Share Purchase Agreement, and (iii) liabilities incurred since September 30, 2006, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Effect.

          (i) Absence of Certain Changes. Except in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, since September 30, 2006, each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries has conducted the Business only in, and has not engaged in any material transaction in connection with the Business other than according to, the Ordinary Course of Business and there has not been (i) any event or change in the conduct of the Business which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect; or (ii) any action taken of the type described in Section 4.1 that, had such action occurred following the date hereof, would constitute a material breach of such Section 4.1.

          (j) Litigation. There are no civil, criminal, administrative or regulatory actions, suits, claims, hearings, investigations, or occupational health and safety or other proceedings (collectively, “Actions”) pending or, to the knowledge of Skynet, threatened against the Business or Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, if determined or resolved adversely to Business or Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance

with the demands of plaintiffs, would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Skynet Material Adverse Effect.

          (k) Employee Benefits. Section 3.1(k) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of each Benefit Plan and Skynet has made available to Holdco a complete and accurate copy of each such Benefit Plan. With respect to each Benefit Plan listed on Section 3.1(k) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter and that is not identified as an Excluded Property, adequate provision has been made in the Financial Statements for all material accrued liabilities of Skynet and its Subsidiaries in respect of such Benefit Plan. Each Benefit Plan has been established, registered and has been funded (if required), invested, maintained and administered in all material respects in compliance with its terms and all applicable Laws. In respect of the Pension Plan, no event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to entitle or authorize any Person to terminate or require the termination of the Pension Plan, in whole or in part, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the tax status of the Pension Plan. All material contributions or premium payments required to have been made under the terms of the Benefit Plans or by applicable Law have been timely made or reflected in the Financial Statements.

          (l) Brokers and Finders. Neither Skynet nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their respective officers or employees has incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders fees to any broker or finder employed or engaged thereby in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements for which Holdco or any of its Affiliates (excluding Skynet and, prior to the Closing, the Subsidiaries of Skynet) would be liable other than as contemplated by the Investors Letter Agreement.

          (m) Tax Matters.

               (i) Solely with respect to any taxable period (or a portion thereof) that commenced before January 1, 2007, each of the Transferred Subsidiaries has filed (or joined in the filing of) all material Tax Returns required to have been filed by it or on behalf of it in all applicable jurisdictions, and has paid all material Taxes due and payable by it (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) and has paid all material assessments and reassessments received in respect of Taxes. There are no material assessments, reassessments, audits, actions, suits or other proceedings or investigations or claims in progress, pending or, to the knowledge of Skynet, threatened against the Business or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries in respect of any Taxes.

               (ii) To the knowledge of Skynet, Skynet, with respect to the Business and each of the Transferred Subsidiaries, has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes and has timely withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity all material amounts required to be so withheld and paid under all applicable Laws, including any material Taxes in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any present or former employee, officer, director, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or any other third party.

               (iii) No Transferred Subsidiary has ever been a member of any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group of corporations for any Tax purposes, other than a group of which Parent or its Subsidiary is the common parent.

               (iv) None of the Transferred Subsidiaries has any material liability for Taxes of any other person (other than any of the Parent and its Subsidiaries) by reason of (a) a combined, unitary or consolidated Tax obligation such as Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), or (b) contract, assumption, transferee or successor liability, or otherwise.

          (o) Real Property.

               (i) Section 3.1(o)(i) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of (A) all real property owned by Skynet and its Subsidiaries (the “Owned Real Property”) and (B) all real property leased or subleased by Skynet and its Subsidiaries, as tenant (the “Leased Real Property” and, together with the Owned Real Property, the “Real Property”), in each case that is material to the operation of the Business as currently conducted or that is material to Skynet. The Real Property constitutes all of the real property owned, leased or occupied by Skynet and its Subsidiaries which is material to the operation of the Business and none of the Owned Real Property is leased to any Person.

               (ii) With respect to the Leased Real Property:

                    (A) there are no Leases granting to any Person other than Skynet or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, any rights to use a material portion of the Leased Real Property;

                    (B) each Lease that is material to the operations of the Business is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect against Skynet or its Subsidiary party thereto, and to the knowledge of Skynet, against the other party thereto, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (provided that such exception shall not apply to any limitation of such enforcement resulting from the Bankruptcy Cases); and

                    (C) all rent and other sums and charges payable by Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as tenant under each Lease are current, no material notice of default or termination under any such Lease is outstanding, no termination event or condition or uncured default on the part of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or to the knowledge of Skynet, the landlord, exists under any Lease, and no event has occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or termination event or condition, in each case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

          (p) Skynet Satellites.

               (i) Subject to applicable Law (including the Export Control Laws), Section 3.1(p)(i) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of the single satellite leased by Skynet and its Subsidiaries (the “Leased Satellite”) and the satellites owned by Skynet and its Subsidiaries (the “Owned Satellites” and, collectively with the Leased Satellite, the “Skynet Satellites”), by orbital location, listing the number and type of transponders thereon.

               (ii) Subject to applicable Law (including the Export Control Laws), Skynet has made available to Holdco true and correct copies of the “Health Status Reports” relating to the Skynet Satellites, each as prepared by or on behalf of Skynet (collectively, the “Health Status Reports”). Skynet has no knowledge of any spacecraft-related incidents or anomalies that have been experienced by any of the Skynet Satellites that are not disclosed in the Health Status Reports.

               (iii) Subject to applicable Law (including the Export Control Laws), Section 3.1(p)(iii) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter contains (A) a true and complete summary as of the date hereof (and as of the Closing Date, with respect to the updated Section 3.1(p)(iii) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(a)), by orbital location, of the status of frequency registration at the International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”), made on behalf of Skynet or any Subsidiary, including the status with respect to each orbital location hosting a Skynet Satellite, including ITU advance publication information, ITU coordination request, ITU notification requests and ITU Resolution 49 information, reference numbers and publication dates, and the identity of the sponsoring administration, (B) the dates Skynet’s and each Subsidiary’s (as applicable) ITU rights at each orbital location for which corresponding frequency assignments have not been brought into use would expire, and (C) a true and complete list, as of the date hereof (and as of the Closing Date, with respect to the updated Section 3.1(p)(iii) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(a)), of all material satellite intersystem coordination agreements to which Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. Skynet has no knowledge of any material and significant conflicting claim(s) with respect to its rights to use frequency assignment(s) described in its ITU filings at any such orbital location(s) that reasonably would be expected to restrict or otherwise adversely affect Holdco’s ability to operate the Skynet Satellite(s) on such frequency assignment(s) at such location(s), in each case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this subsection, the mere existence of superior ITU filings at or adjacent to the orbital locations of the Skynet Satellites shall not be deemed material and significant conflicting claims with respect to Skynet’s right to use the frequency assignment(s) described in its ITU filings.

               (iv) Subject to applicable Law (including the Export Control Laws), Section 3.1(p)(iv) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list as of the date hereof (and as of the Closing Date, with respect to the updated Section 3.1(p)(iv) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(a)) of all (A) telemetry, tracking and control stations and (B) receive and transmit stations that provide multiple broadcast and/or business network services (collectively, the “Major Stations”). As of date hereof (and as of the Closing Date, with respect to the updated Section 3.1(p)(iv) of the Skynet

Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(a)), no ground station or other facility provides telemetry, tracking and control for a Skynet Satellite other than those Major Stations specifically identified as providing such services. The improvements to each Major Station and all components used in connection therewith are (1) operational and are suitable for their intended purposes and (2) supported by a back-up generator capable of generating power sufficient to meet the requirements of the operations conducted at the Major Station, in each case, in all material respects.

               (v) To the knowledge of Skynet, no other radio communications facility is causing ongoing or chronic material harmful interference to the transmissions from or the receipt of signals by any Skynet Satellite, thereby materially impairing the ability of Skynet or a Subsidiary to provide service in the ordinary course of the Business.

               (vi) With respect to the Leased Satellite:

                    (A) the Lease therefor is legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (provided that such exception shall not apply to any limitation of such enforcement resulting from the Bankruptcy Cases); and

                    (B) all fees and other sums payable by Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries as lessee under such Lease are current, no material notice of default or termination under such Lease is outstanding, no termination event or condition or uncured default on the part of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Skynet, the lessor, exists under such Lease, and no event has occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice of the lapse of time or both, would constitute such default or termination event or condition, in each case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

          (q) Intellectual Property. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries owns or has adequate rights to use all Intellectual Property required for or used in the Business as now conducted and all such Intellectual Property is valid and subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (ii) each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries has performed all acts and has paid all renewal, maintenance, and other fees required to maintain each and every registration and application of Intellectual Property required for or used in the Business as now conducted in full force and effect. The use of any Intellectual Property by Skynet and its Subsidiaries does not, to the knowledge of Skynet, infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any Person and is in accordance with any applicable license pursuant to which Skynet or any Subsidiary acquired the right to use any such Intellectual Property. Neither Parent nor Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim or threatened claim alleging the infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person with respect to any Intellectual Property used or owned by Skynet or a Subsidiary in the operation of the Business, the loss of which claim (if determined in favor of the claimants) would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect. To Skynet’s knowledge, no Person is challenging or infringing on or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property Right of Skynet or the Subsidiaries.

          (r) Labor. Neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, and no employees employed in the Business are subject to, any labor or collective bargaining agreement other than the Collective Bargaining Agreement or any replacement or successor agreement. There are no (i) strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, lockouts or arbitrations or (ii) grievances or other labor disputes pending or, to the knowledge of Skynet, threatened against Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries, or which otherwise involve employees employed in the Business, which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect. Except for the Communications Workers of America, no labor union has been certified by a relevant labor relations authority, to the extent applicable, as bargaining agent for any of the employees employed in the Business and, to the knowledge of Skynet, no union organizing or certification activities are underway or threatened with respect to employees employed in the Business.

          (s) Employment Matters. There are no written or oral Contracts of employment entered into with any employees of Skynet or any Subsidiary or consulting Contracts entered into with any Person by Skynet or any Subsidiary earning in excess of $250,000 per year other than Contracts which are terminable on the giving of reasonable notice in accordance with applicable Laws. Except with respect to the Benefit Plans identified on Section 3.1(k) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter, neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to make any material bonus, severance, termination or similar payments or to provide any other material enhanced or accelerated benefits or compensation to any employee as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

          (t) Material Contracts. Section 3.1(t) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of the Material Contracts as of the date hereof (and as of the Closing Date, with respect to the Material Contracts set forth in the updated Section 3.1(t) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(b)), all of which are (or with respect to the Material Contracts set forth in the updated Section 3.1(t) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter provided to Holdco pursuant to Section 4.27(b), as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in such updated Section 3.1(t) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter with respect to breaches or defaults by any third party, will be) in full force and effect, except where the failure to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

          (u) Insurance. Section 3.1(u) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list as of the date hereof, and Skynet has made available to Holdco a copy,

of all insurance policies (specifying the insurer, the amount of coverage, the type of insurance, the policy number and any pending claims thereunder) maintained by Skynet and its Subsidiaries on its property or assets that are material to the operation of the Business (the “Insurance Policies”). All premiums due and payable in respect of each of the Insurance Policies have been paid in full and neither Skynet nor any Subsidiary has given or received written notice to or from any insurer or agent of any intent to cancel any of the Insurance Policies. Neither Skynet nor any Subsidiary is in material default with respect to any of the provisions contained in any of the Insurance Policies and has not failed to give any notice or present any claim under any such insurance policy in a due and timely fashion. Neither Skynet nor any Subsidiary has received written notice from any insurance company or Governmental Entity of any defects or inadequacies that is reasonably likely to adversely affect the insurability of, or to cause a material increase in the premiums for, insurance covering any of Skynet and the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets that are material to the operation of the Business.

          (v) Environment. The operations of the Business are and have been in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and each of Skynet and its Subsidiaries possess and maintain all material environmental permits required to operate the Business and complies with and has not violated in any material respect any such environmental permit. There are no pending or, to Skynet’s knowledge, threatened Actions under or pursuant to Environmental Laws against Skynet or its Subsidiaries relating to the Business or involving any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Skynet or its Subsidiaries and used in the operation of the Business or any property to which Skynet with respect to the Business has arranged for the disposal or treatment of Hazardous Substances. To the knowledge of Skynet, no Hazardous Substance has been released or disposed into, onto or upon the air, soil, surface water or groundwater at, on, to or from any property currently or formerly owned, operated or used by Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries, including any property to which Skynet has arranged for the disposal or treatment of Hazardous Substances, and used in the operation of the Business for which Skynet or any such Subsidiary would have any liability in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate. Skynet has provided Holdco with copies of all material environmental assessments, audits, investigations or other reports, in each case to the extent in the possession of Parent or Holdco, relating to the Business or any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Parent or Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the operations of the Business. There is no material actual or proposed removal, remedial or corrective action relating to any Hazardous Substance located in, under, on or above any real property currently or, to the knowledge of Skynet, formerly owned or operated by Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the operations of the Business, whether or not such material action is voluntary or required pursuant to Environmental Laws.

          (w) Indebtedness. Section 3.1(w) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list (including each related Contract (as amended and in effect as of the date hereof), the principal amount, the maturity date and the collateral or security thereunder) of all indebtedness of Skynet and its Subsidiaries to third parties for borrowed money outstanding as of the date hereof. Skynet has made available to Holdco true, accurate and complete copies of each such Contract related to such indebtedness and, neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach or default with respect to any such Contract and, to the knowledge of Skynet, no other party thereto is in material breach or default with respect to any such Contract (except

for such breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to be material to Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or the Business), and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute any such default. Neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any material breach or default with respect to any such Contract which remains uncured.

          (x) Skynet Investor Matters. Skynet: (i) is acquiring Holdco Preferred Shares and Holdco Common Shares that constitute the Transfer Shares and any additional Holdco Preferred Shares and Holdco Common Shares issued to Skynet pursuant to this Agreement for investment, and without any present intention of transferring such securities to any other Person, and acknowledges that neither Skynet nor any other Person acquiring such securities directly or indirectly from Skynet may sell or otherwise transfer such securities in a manner that would constitute a “distribution” as such term is used in the Securities Act; (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment decision with respect to such securities; (iii) acknowledges that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or pursuant to a valid exemption from registration; (iv) acknowledges that such securities have not been distributed pursuant to a prospectus for which a receipt has been obtained under the securities laws of any province of Canada and may not be transferred unless a receipt for such prospectus has subsequently been obtained or pursuant to a valid exemption from such receipt requirement; and (v) is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and Section 1.1 of National Instrument 45-106 promulgated under Canadian securities laws.

          (y) Affiliate Matters. During the period commenced on September 30, 2006 and ended on the date hereof, the only payments or transfers of assets made by Skynet and its Subsidiaries to Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than to Skynet or its Subsidiaries) are set forth in Section 3.1(y) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter. Section 3.1(y) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter sets forth all intercompany arrangements in effect as of the date hereof between Skynet and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other (other than Skynet and its Subsidiaries), which arrangement, has a value in excess of $250,000 individually or $2,000,000 in the aggregate with all such arrangements and which is not pursuant to a written Contract. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates have any material claims against Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries other than for the performance of obligations under the Contracts between such parties.

          (z) Applicability of Representations and Warranties. Skynet hereby acknowledges that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.1, to the extent relating to the Business by their respective terms, are not intended to exclude any relevant Sale Assets therefrom.

          (aa) Disclaimer. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE BY SKYNET IN THIS SECTION 3.1, SKYNET DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER TO HOLDCO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EXPRESS

OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

     3.2. Representations and Warranties of Holdco.

          Holdco represents and warrants to Skynet as of the date hereof and, except as affected by the Share Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date as follows, and acknowledges that Parent and Skynet are relying upon such representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby:

          (a) Corporate Organization and Qualification. Holdco is a corporation validly existing under the laws of Canada and is in good standing and duly registered or licensed in each jurisdiction where properties owned, leased or operated, or the business conducted, by it requires such registration, license or qualification, except for such failure which, when taken together with all other such failures, would not reasonably be expected to have a Holdco Material Adverse Effect. Holdco has the corporate power and capacity to carry on its business as it is currently conducted.

          (b) Corporate Authority. Holdco has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute and deliver each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Holdco and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Skynet, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Holdco, enforceable against Holdco in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies.

          (c) Filings and Approvals. Other than the Transaction Approvals, no notices, reports or other filings, and no consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations, are required to be made or obtained by Holdco with or from any Governmental Entity or any other Person (including the shareholders of Holdco) in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements to which Holdco is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except where the failure to make or obtain any or all of which would not prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the knowledge of Holdco, no fact or circumstances exists relating to the qualifications of Holdco that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay beyond the Outside Date the granting by the relevant Governmental Entity of the Major Regulatory Approvals.

          (d) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holdco does not, and the consummation by Holdco of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles, by-laws or other comparable governing instruments of Holdco; (ii) a breach or violation of, a default under, the triggering of any payment or other material obligation pursuant to any provision of any material contract, commitment or undertaking of Holdco; or (iii) a breach or violation of any Law to which Holdco is subject, except in each case for such breaches, violations, defaults or

accelerations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent or materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (e) Brokers and Finders. Neither Holdco nor any of its officers, directors or employees has incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders fees to any broker or finder employed or engaged thereby in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Skynet or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) would be liable other than as contemplated by the Investors Letter Agreement.

          (f) Holdco Investor Matters. Holdco: (i) is acquiring the capital stock and other equity interests of the Subsidiaries constituting Transferred Property for investment, and without any present intention of transferring such securities to any other Person, and acknowledges that neither Holdco nor any other Person acquiring such securities directly or indirectly from Holdco may sell or otherwise transfer such securities in a manner that would constitute a “distribution” as such term is used in the Securities Act; (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment decision with respect to such securities; (iii) acknowledges that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or pursuant to a valid exemption from registration; (iv) acknowledges that such securities have not been distributed pursuant to a prospectus for which a receipt has been obtained under the securities laws of any province of Canada and may not be transferred unless a receipt for such prospectus has subsequently been obtained or pursuant to a valid exemption from such receipt requirement; and (v) is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and Section 1.1 of National Instrument 45-106 promulgated under Canadian securities laws.

          (g) Holdco Shares. The issuance and delivery by Holdco of Holdco Preferred Shares and Holdco Common Shares that constitute the Transfer Shares and any additional Holdco Preferred Shares and Holdco Common Shares issued to Skynet pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other action on the part of Holdco and, as of the Closing, such Holdco Preferred Shares and Holdco Common Shares, upon the issuance and delivery thereof by Holdco to Skynet as contemplated by this Agreement, will be (i) validly issued and outstanding, (ii) fully paid and nonassessable and (iii) other than as expressly provided in the Shareholders Agreement, free and clear of any and all Liens or restrictions on the voting rights thereof or other incidents of record or beneficial ownership pertaining thereto.

          (h) No Reliance.

               (i) There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, between any of the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement except as specifically set forth in the Transaction Agreements. Holdco agrees that no reliance may be placed on any representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made by Parent, Skynet, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, stockholders, equity holders and agents to Holdco or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or representatives,

except to the extent that any such representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact has been reduced to writing and is expressly included as a term of the Transaction Agreements. Any claims Holdco may have for breach of representation or warranty shall be based solely on the representations and warranties of Skynet or other Persons expressly set forth in the Transaction Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdco agrees that no reliance may be placed on any representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion contained in any prospectus or registration statement relating to the public offering of securities of Parent, Skynet or any of their respective Affiliates or shareholders, in any document or material provided or made available to Holdco in connection with its due diligence review of Parent, Skynet, its Subsidiaries and/or the Business or for any other reason in connection with the conclusion of this Agreement, or in any quarterly, annual or current report (including any report on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or Form 8-K), interim or annual financial statement, management presentation, discussion and analysis, material change report (including any report on Form 8-11) or other similar continuous disclosure documents required to be filed with any Securities Commission pertaining to Parent, Skynet or any of their respective Affiliates or shareholders or to the Business. Nothing contained in the Transaction Agreements is intended to relieve Parent or Skynet from liability for fraud.

               (ii) Holdco acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, Skynet and its Subsidiaries and the Business. In furtherance of, but without limiting, the foregoing, Holdco acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty is being made by Parent, Skynet or any of their respective Affiliates or shareholders with respect to the future prospects or operating or financial performance of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or of the Business. In connection with its investigation of Skynet and its Subsidiaries and/or the Business, Holdco may have received certain estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information regarding or relating to the future operating and financial performance of Skynet and its Subsidiaries and/or the Business. Holdco hereby acknowledges and agrees that there are important risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information and that actual results could be materially different if known or unknown risks affect Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or the Business, or if estimates or assumptions turn out to be inaccurate. Other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: general economic conditions; the state of capital markets; the impact of adverse changes in Laws or of adverse regulatory initiatives or proceedings; the level of demand for products and services in the satellite market; the inability to manage costs and generate productivity improvements; the intensity of competitive activity, from both traditional and new competitors, and its resulting impact on the ability to retain existing, and attract new, customers, and the consequent impact on pricing strategies, revenues and net income; the risk of satellite failures at launch and in-orbit; delay in delivery of satellites; the risk of lower returns on pension plan assets requiring increased pension expenses and potentially pension plan funding; the financial condition and credit risk of customers and uncertainties regarding the ability to collect receivables; the availability and cost of capital required to implement financing plans and fund capital and other expenditures; the ability of planned or implemented strategies to produce expected benefits and growth prospects; the availability of, and ability to retain, key personnel; the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses; the outcome of any future litigation; and the ability of Holdco or any of its Affiliates to integrate the Transferred Property, the Sale Assets, the Business or Telesat into its or any of its

Affiliates’ respective business or corporate structure (including the ability to implement the “Synergy Plan” referred to in the “Contribution Term Sheet” attached as Schedule C to the Investors Letter Agreement). Holdco further acknowledges that it is familiar with such risks and uncertainties and that it is not relying on any such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information regarding or relating to the future operating and financial performance of Skynet and its Subsidiaries or the Business but rather on its own estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, or budgets. Holdco shall not (and shall cause all of its Subsidiaries and other affiliates and all other Persons and representatives acting on its behalf not to) assert any claim or cause of action against Parent, Skynet, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective direct or indirect directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, agents, shareholders, equity holders, Affiliates, consultants, counsel, accountants, investment bankers or representatives with respect to any such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information regarding or relating to the future operating and financial performance of Skynet and its Subsidiaries or the Business, or hold any such other Person liable with respect thereto.

               (iii) Holdco acknowledges and agrees that it has not received or been provided with any offering memorandum within the meaning of any applicable securities Laws so as to assist it in making an investment decision in respect of any securities of Skynet or its Subsidiaries. Holdco hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to make any claim against Parent, Skynet, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective direct or indirect directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, agents, shareholders, equity holders, Affiliates, consultants, counsel, accountants, investment bankers or representatives on the basis that it failed to receive any such offering memorandum.

               (iv) Holdco has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by reason of any representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact that has not been reduced to writing and expressly included as a term of the Transaction Agreements or any document delivered pursuant to the Transaction Agreements.

               (v) HOLDCO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SKYNET MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

               (vi) Nothing in this Section 3.2(h) is intended to limit or affect the representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, or to limit the recourse of Holdco under Article VII hereof.

          (b) Skynet shall consult with, and consider in good faith any suggestions or comments made by, Holdco with respect to the documentation relating to the Minor Regulatory Approvals process; provided that, to the extent any such document contains any information or disclosure relating to Holdco or any Affiliate of Holdco (including PSP, but excluding Skynet or any of its Affiliates), Holdco shall have approved such information or disclosure prior to the submission or filing of any such document (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided however, that once such information or disclosure has been approved by Holdco, Skynet shall not be required to again obtain Holdco’s approval if it shall use such information or disclosure in any subsequent submission or filing. Each other party shall promptly furnish to Skynet or its counsel such information and assistance as Skynet may reasonably request in order to prepare the documentation relating to the Minor Regulatory Approvals process.

Skynet shall not be required to permit any inspection of, or to disclose any information relating to, the Excluded Property or the Excluded Liabilities or which would violate, in any material respect, any Law or would reasonably be expected to violate any Contract in such a manner as would result in material liability on the part of Skynet or any of its Affiliates (other than Holdco), which in the reasonable judgment of Skynet or any of its Affiliates (other than Holdco) would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties, disclosure of any competitively sensitive information, disclosure of attorney-client privileged information or violate any obligation of Skynet or any of its Affiliates (other than Holdco) with respect to confidentiality (provided that, to the extent that Skynet or any of its Affiliates is so restricted or prohibited from providing such

access, Parent and Skynet shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent, waiver or approval with respect to such restriction or prohibition necessary to provide such access to Holdco, provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Skynet nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be obligated hereby or otherwise to pay any amounts or make any concessions in connection with obtaining any such consent, waiver or approval). All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be directed to such Person or Persons as may be designated by Skynet from time to time.

     4.8. Notification of Certain Matters.

          Prior to Closing, Holdco and Skynet shall give each other prompt notice of: (a) the occurrence or failure to occur of any event, which occurrence or failure would cause or may cause any representation or warranty on its part contained in the Transaction Agreements to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect when made; (b) any failure of any party to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under the Transaction Agreements; and (c) the occurrence of any event which, to the extent reasonably foreseeable at the time of its occurrence, would reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect or to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, Skynet shall promptly notify Holdco of any partial loss or Total Loss of any Skynet Satellite and, to the extent reasonably practicable, of the technical requirements for the restoration of service by such Skynet Satellite.

     4.9. Publicity and Confidentiality.

          Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations of the parties or their Affiliates pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any Securities Commission, without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), each party hereto shall consult with the other party hereto before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Transaction Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby or the activities and operations of any other party hereto. Neither Parent nor Skynet shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement that mentions PSP without the prior written consent of PSP, unless such mentioning of PSP is required by applicable Law or by obligations of the parties or their Affiliates pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any Securities Commission.

          (b) Real, personal and intangible property Taxes and assessments on the Transferred Property and the assets and property of the Transferred Subsidiaries for any taxable period commencing prior to January 1, 2007 and ending after January 1, 2007 shall be prorated on a per diem basis between Holdco and Skynet as of January 1, 2007. All such prorations shall be allocated so that items relating to time periods (or portions thereof) ending prior to January 1, 2007 shall be allocated to Skynet and items relating to time periods (or portions thereof) beginning on or after January 1, 2007 shall be allocated to Holdco. The amount of all such prorations shall be settled and paid on the Closing Date, provided that final payments with respect to prorations that are not able to be calculated as of the Closing Date shall be calculated and paid as soon as practicable thereafter.

          (c) With respect to Tax Returns:

                    (i) Skynet shall timely prepare and file, or cause to be timely prepared and filed, (A) all Tax Returns (other than Consolidated Tax Returns) required to be filed by or on behalf of the Transferred Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date on a basis consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by Law or a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code), and (B) all Consolidated Tax Returns; and in all cases Skynet shall timely and duly remit or cause to be timely and duly remitted any Taxes shown as due in respect of such Tax Returns; provided that Skynet shall provide, or cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to provide, Holdco with copies of all such Tax Returns (other than payroll Tax Returns), for its review promptly after filing thereof except that Skynet shall so provide, or cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to so provide copies of any such Tax Returns (other than Consolidated Tax Returns) for periods that also include any period in 2007, for Holdco review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), at least (to the extent reasonably practicable) thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, along with supporting workpapers; provided, however, that Skynet shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall promptly deliver to Holdco for its review and approval as set forth in this Section 4.10(c)(i), the Tax Returns set forth in Section 4.10(c)(i) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter, which Tax Returns Skynet shall file, or cause to be filed, as soon as reasonably practicable after the respective due dates thereof.

                    (ii) Holdco shall timely prepare and file, or cause to be timely prepared and filed, all Straddle Tax Returns and other Tax Returns (other than the Consolidated Tax Returns) required to be filed following the Closing Date with respect to the Transferred Subsidiaries and shall cause each of such Transferred Subsidiaries to pay the Taxes shown to be due thereon; provided, however, that Skynet shall pay to Holdco or to the relevant Transferred Subsidiary, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of filing such Tax Return, the portion of such Taxes for which Skynet is liable pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof; provided, further, that Holdco shall provide, or cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to provide, Parent with copies of all Tax Returns (other than payroll Tax Returns) for any taxable period that begins before December 31, 2006, for Parent’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), at least (to the extent reasonably practicable) thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, along with supporting workpapers. Skynet and Holdco agree to cause such Transferred Subsidiaries to file all Tax Returns (other than Consolidated Tax Returns) for any Straddle Period on the basis consistent with past practice

(except as required by Law or a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code).

                    (iii) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, and without obtaining the prior written consent of Holdco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Skynet shall not, and shall not allow any of the Transferred Subsidiaries to, file any amended Tax Returns other than Consolidated Tax Returns, carry-back claim, or other adjustment, in each case relating to Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries, except as required by Law or by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

          (d) Subject to Sections 4.10(e) and (f), the consideration received by Skynet pursuant to Article II, including the amount of Assumed Liabilities (collectively, “Gross Transfer Consideration”) shall be allocated to each item of Transferred Property in an amount equal to the fair market value of such item of Transferred Property, as agreed by Holdco and Skynet. Holdco and Skynet will, subject to applicable laws, use such allocations in filing their respective any Tax Returns or similar filings.

          (e) Except to the extent that a different allocation is required for United States tax purposes, the parties hereto shall allocate the Assumed Liabilities as follows:

                    (i) first, to each item of Transferred Property which is not an Eligible Property, pro rata based on the fair market value of each such property but in no event shall the amount so allocated to a particular property exceed the fair market value of the property; and

                    (ii) second, to each item of Transferred Property which is an Eligible Property in such amount as agreed by Holdco and Skynet.

          (f) Except to the extent that a different allocation is required for United States tax purposes, the parties hereto shall allocate Holdco Common Shares and Holdco Preferred Shares constituting Transfer Shares to each item of the Transferred Property to the extent that the fair market value of the particular property (as agreed by Holdco and Skynet) exceeds the amount of the Assumed Liabilities of the particular property as set out in Section 4.10(e).

          (g) Skynet and Holdco will jointly elect under subsection 85(1) of the ITA, in prescribed form and within the time provided, with respect to the transfer of each item of Transferred Property which is an Eligible Property in respect of which Skynet and Holdco agree to make such election, and the agreed amount for the purposes of paragraph 85(1)(a) of the ITA in respect of each such property will be the respective amount as agreed by Skynet and Holdco. In addition, Skynet and Holdco agree, with respect to such Transferred Property, to jointly make, execute and file, in prescribed form and within the time provided, with the appropriate taxation authorities any similar elections required under the provisions of any applicable provincial legislation.

          (h) The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, each treat on all Tax returns the transfer of the Transferred Property hereunder and the Successive Transfers as 351 Transfers, and not take any position in any Tax Return inconsistent herewith unless compelled to do so pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

          (i) Until after the fifth anniversary of the last day of the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of both (i) Parent and (ii) PSP (in their respective sole and absolute discretion), neither Holdco nor any of its Affiliates shall engage in, effect or permit any transaction or series of related or unrelated transactions (other than the Successive Transfers) involving the exchange, disposition, reorganization or liquidation thereby of (i) any or all Transferred Property having a value (individually or in the aggregate) in excess of $50,000,000 or (ii) any equity interests in any Transferred Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of Holdco or of any successor of any of them, including any distribution with respect to such equity interests that is treated as an “exchange” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that this Section 4.10(i) shall only apply if, as reasonably determined by Parent, such transaction would or is likely to trigger gain pursuant to any GRA entered into by the Parent with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Property.

          (j) The Interim Taxes (other than property Taxes) shall be computed for the portion commencing on January 1, 2007 and/or ending on, and including, the Closing Date of any taxable period by opening the books of Skynet and its Transferred Subsidiaries on January 1, 2007 and/or closing such books on the Closing Date; provided that for such purpose, the taxable period of any Transferred Property that is a partnership or other pass-through entity in which Skynet holds a direct beneficial interest shall be deemed to begin on January 1, 2007 and end on the Closing Date; and provided further that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on December 31, 2006 and the Interim Period, in proportion to the number of days in each such period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes of Skynet or the Transferred Subsidiaries (including real, personal, and intangible property Taxes) attributable to or arising from the Restructuring shall be for the account of Skynet, whether such Taxes arose prior to or following January 1, 2007. Each of Holdco and Skynet shall be responsible for and shall pay all Taxes allocated to it pursuant to this Section 4.10.

          (k) Each of Holdco and Parent shall have fifteen (15) days to review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) the Tax Returns referred to in Sections 4.10(c)(i) and 4.10(c)(ii), respectively. The failure to propose any changes to any such Tax Return within fifteen (15) days shall be deemed to be an indication of its approval thereof. If a dispute arises following such review and such dispute is not resolved by Holdco and Parent within seven (7) days, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures, as applicable, of Section 1.2 of the Ancillary Agreement.

          (l) No payment pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall excuse Skynet and Parent from their indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 if the amount of Taxes as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for which Skynet is liable under Section 7.2 exceeds the amount paid by Skynet under this Section 4.10.

          (m) If the amount of Interim Taxes, as ultimately determined on audit or otherwise, exceeds the amount of the Interim Taxes used in determining the Final Adjustment Amount and the Actual Interim Taxes Due under Section 2.7, Holdco will indemnify the Parent and Skynet for all Losses relating to such determination. Skynet and Parent shall promptly forward to Holdco any refunds of Interim Taxes (net of all reasonable costs relating to such

refunds) received by Skynet or Parent that were not taken into account in determining the Final Adjustment Amount and the Actual Interim Taxes Due under Section 2.7.

          (n) Prior to the Closing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Skynet and Parent shall have the right transfer, or cause their Subsidiaries to transfer, at Skynet and Parent’s cost and expense, such portions of the Transferred Property and Sale Assets located in the United States to a location outside the United States as they deem appropriate in their sole discretion, provided that such transfers shall not disrupt or adversely affect the Business in any material respect or have any material adverse effect upon any transactions contemplated hereby or by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Immediately after the Closing, Holdco will use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, or cause its subsidiaries to make any such transfers as Skynet or Parent shall reasonably request. In each case, Skynet and Parent will indemnify Holdco and its Subsidiaries for any costs and Losses relating to such transfers.

          (o) If a dispute arises regarding an allocation pursuant to Sections 4.10(d) to 4.10(g) and such dispute is not resolved by Holdco and Skynet within twenty (20) days, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures, as applicable, of Section 1.2 of the Ancillary Agreement.

     4.11. Release of Certain Obligations of Parent.

          In the event that the Closing shall occur simultaneously with or immediately after the Telesat Closing, at the Closing, Holdco shall irrevocably and unconditionally waive and discharge any and all obligations of Parent under, and shall agree to terminate and be of no further force or effect, the Parent Commitment Letter and the related provisions of the Parent Subscription Agreement, which waiver, discharge and termination shall be effective as of the Telesat Closing.

     4.12. Redemption of Redeemable Holdco Shares.

          In the event that the Closing shall occur at any time other than simultaneously with or immediately after the Telesat Closing, at the Closing, Holdco shall redeem for cash any and all Redeemable Holdco Shares then held by Parent or any of it Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Parent Subscription Agreement.

     4.13. Affiliate Payments; Excess Management Fees.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Skynet and its Subsidiaries may continue their deferral of receivables due from XTAR and may make the following payments (the “Permitted Payments”):

                    (i) any amounts payable under or in respect of the Senior Notes when due, upon redemption or otherwise, at or prior to the Closing;

                    (ii) any amounts payable as dividends on the Skynet Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms thereof or upon redemption or otherwise, at or prior to the Closing;

                    (iii) reimbursement to Parent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries) in connection with or on behalf of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or the operation of the Business;

                    (iv) any and all Management Fees due to Parent, not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate per calendar quarter (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any amounts permitted to be reimbursed to Parent pursuant to Section 4.13(a)(iii)) and subject to Section 4.13(c);

                    (v) any amounts necessary to pay Taxes with respect to Skynet and/or its Subsidiaries, calculated on a separate return basis taking into account any Losses and other Tax attributes relating Skynet and its Subsidiaries; and

                    (vi) any other amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.13.

          (b) Neither Skynet nor any of its Subsidiaries shall make payments to Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries) from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date other than Permitted Payments and the payments referred to in Section 4.13(b) of the Skynet Disclosure Letter and any additional payments as shall have been consented to by Holdco in writing. At the Closing, Parent or Skynet shall pay to Holdco an amount in cash equal to the Affiliate Cash Amount, if any.

          (c) To the extent that the Management Fees (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any amounts permitted to be reimbursed to Parent pursuant to Section 4.13(a)(iii)) paid in cash to Parent in 2007 exceed $1,250,000 per quarter (which quarterly limit shall be prorated in the event that the Closing occurs prior to the expiration of any such quarter), Parent will pay to Holdco at the Closing an amount equal to such excess (as so prorated, if applicable); provided, however, that, to the extent that any amounts payable to Parent under the Consulting Agreement are paid in the form of notes or accounts receivable, Parent shall not be obligated to make any such payment to Holdco pursuant to this Section 4.13(c) unless all amounts payable to Parent under such notes or accounts payable shall have been paid in full, and then only to the extent of the amount of any such payments received by Parent.

          (d) It is understood and agreed that the cash to be included in the Transferred Property will be computed after giving effect to the payments permitted by this Section 4.13 and net of all interest (excluding default interest) and dividends accruing in respect of the Senior Notes and the Skynet Preferred Stock through the Closing Date (regardless of the actual date of redemption thereof), provided that the portion of the redemption price thereof attributable to the payment of liquidation value on the Skynet Preferred Stock and any premium payable in respect of such redemption or the redemption of the Senior Notes shall be for the account of Parent.

     4.14. Failure of T-11N.

          In the event of any “total loss,” “constructive total loss” or “partial loss” (as each such terms is defined in any applicable insurance policy of Skynet) of T-11N that occurs prior to the Closing Date, including due to a failure of T-11N to be launched into its proper orbit, (i) Skynet shall pay to Holdco on the Closing Date $10,000,000, if the loss is a “total loss”, or

$5,000,000, if the loss is a “partial loss” or $7,500,000 if the loss is a “constructive total loss” and (ii) on the Closing Date, Skynet shall assign to Holdco any and all insurance proceeds payable or paid to Skynet in respect of any such total loss or partial loss or constructive total loss, as applicable. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 3.1 or Article VII), such payment and assignment by Skynet shall constitute Holdco’s sole and exclusive remedy for any loss (whether a “total loss” or a “partial loss” or “constructive total loss” or otherwise) of T-11N.

     4.15. Redemption of Senior Notes.

          If the Senior Notes are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, Skynet and Holdco shall reasonably cooperate with each other to cause all outstanding Senior Notes to be either (i) redeemed and no longer outstanding as of the Closing as provided in the Senior Note Documents or (ii) called for redemption, and such Senior Notes and the Senior Note Indenture to be satisfied and discharged, as of the Closing pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.01(a) of the Senior Note Indenture, in either case including by jointly issuing written notice of such redemption to the holders of the Senior Notes and any other Person entitled to receipt of such notice under the Senior Note Documents; provided that, in the event that the immediately preceding clause (ii) shall be applicable, Skynet shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all outstanding Senior Notes to be redeemed and no longer outstanding as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing.

     4.16. Trustee Notice.

material portion of the assets or similar transaction or any business combination or change of control of Skynet or any of its Subsidiaries or sale of the Business (other than sales of assets in compliance with Section 4.1) or otherwise seek to do any of the foregoing.

     4.19. Release of Liens.

          (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Parent and PSP are responsible for converting their proportionate share of each tranche (“Tranche”) of United States dollar denominated debt that constitutes the Financing to be funded at the Telesat Closing (i.e., term loans, bridge notes, senior notes), into Canadian dollars to pay the purchase price in respect of the Purchased Shares at the Telesat Closing, and (ii) Parent’s and PSP’s proportionate share shall equal 65.37% and 34.63%, respectively. The parties further acknowledge and agree that subject to PSP’s compliance with Section 3.6(a) of the Ancillary Agreement, the basis swap transaction (the “Basis Swap”) entered into on December 27, 2006 between Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. and Skynet shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 4.20 to be a transaction entered into by Parent and PSP to hedge their proportionate share of the Term Loan B Tranche of the Financing.

          (b) The parties further acknowledge and agree that Parent and PSP may choose to hedge the foregoing amounts or leave them unhedged, in which case, for purposes of determining the Tranche Differential Rate, the exchange rate of any unhedged Tranche or unhedged portion of any Tranche shall be the actual exchange rate at which Canadian dollars are purchased to fund that portion of the purchase price at the Telesat Closing or as to any portion of such Tranche for which there was no purchase of Canadian dollars, the Closing Date Exchange Rate. Hedges procured by an Affiliate of Parent shall be deemed to be hedges procured by Parent for the purposes of this Agreement.

     4.21. Redemption of Skynet Preferred Stock.

          Within two Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 of the Share Purchase Agreement (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Telesat Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), Skynet shall call for redemption all issued and outstanding shares of Skynet Preferred Stock.

          From and after the date hereof and until the Closing Date, Skynet shall provide or make available to Holdco each calendar month such financial statements as Skynet regularly prepares with respect to the immediately preceding calendar month promptly after such financial statements become available; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Skynet shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 4.22 to prepare, or to provide or make available to Holdco, any

     4.24. Transfer of Certain Skynet Satellites.

          Skynet shall transfer the Skynet Satellites owned by it to Skynet Satellite L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, immediately prior to the Closing.

     7.4. Claims.

          (a) As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of any event or circumstances that could give rise to a claim for indemnification or payment under this Agreement (a “Claim”), the party claiming indemnification or payment (the “Indemnified Person”) from any other party shall promptly give notice to the party from whom indemnification or payment is requested (the “Indemnifying Person”) of the factual basis of the Claim briefly describing the facts giving rise to the claim and the amount of the Claim, or, if an amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the Claim; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.

          (b) Following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Person of the Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Claim as it considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Person shall make available to the Indemnifying Person the information relied upon by the Indemnified Person to substantiate the Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying Person with access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to its books and records, properties and personnel relating to the Claim.

          (c) If the Claim involves an Action that is instituted against an Indemnified Party by a Person other than an Indemnifying Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the provisions set forth in Section 7.5 shall be applicable.

     7.5. Third Party Claims.

          The obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim for which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

          (a) The Indemnifying Person shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend against and to direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim and any related Actions, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Person at the Indemnifying Person’s expense and with counsel of the Indemnifying Person’s own choosing, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Person may only exercise such right after acknowledging its obligations hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person may participate in such defense with counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense; provided, however, that such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Person if in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Person, a conflict of interests exists or is reasonably likely to exist between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person that would make such separate representation advisable. The Indemnifying Person shall not, as long as it conducts the defense of any Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Person, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

          (b) If, however, the Indemnifying Person fails or refuses to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim within fourteen (14) days after the notice of such Third Party Claim has been given to the Indemnifying Person by the Indemnified Person (or, if later, fourteen (14) days after an Action is brought by the third party making the Third Party Claim) or if the Indemnifying Person later withdraws from such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof) to undertake the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choosing, with the Indemnifying Person responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense. No settlement of, or payment in respect of, any Third Party Claim involving potential liability of the Indemnifying Person under this Article VII shall be made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, an Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending such Third Party Claim) if (i) the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Person that the Indemnified Person reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages and which could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the business of the Indemnified Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the Third Party Claim involves a criminal claim.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Person shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment against the Indemnified Party unless the claimant or claimants under such Third Party Claim provide to the Indemnified Persons a release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.

     7.6. Subrogation.

          Upon payment in full of any Claim or the payment of any judgment or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Person against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such Claim or Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall assign or otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Person, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, to pursue any claims against, or otherwise recover amounts from, any Person liable or responsible for any Losses for which indemnification has been received pursuant to this Agreement.

     7.7. Minimum Indemnification Threshold and Limits.

          (a) Skynet shall not be obligated to indemnify or pay Holdco or any of it Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof unless and until the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred or sustained by Holdco and its Affiliates relating to, or arising out of or in connection

with, the matters set forth in Section 7.2(a) exceeds an amount equal to, with respect to such representations and warranties that are made on the date hereof, $8,390,575 (the “Execution Date Breach Threshold”) and, with respect to such representations and warranties that are made on the Closing Date, $41,952,875 (the “Closing Date Breach Threshold,” it being understood that each of the Execution Date Breach Threshold and the Closing Date Breach Threshold, as applicable, shall be referred to herein as the “Minimum Indemnification Threshold”), in which case Skynet shall have an indemnification and payment obligation for all such amounts that exceed the applicable Minimum Indemnification Threshold; provided, however, that Skynet shall not be liable to Holdco and its Affiliates for any Losses relating to a single claim (or group of claims relating to the same matter) under Section 7.2(a) not exceeding $250,000 (the “Basket Amount”) (and, for greater certainty, any single claim or group of claims not exceeding the Basket Amount shall not be considered in determining whether the Minimum Indemnification Threshold has been attained); provided, further, that in no event shall Skynet’s maximum aggregate indemnification and payment liability for all Losses under Section 7.2(a), together with claims, if any, against Skynet under or in respect of the Asset Purchase Agreement, exceed $83,905,750 (the “Cap”); provided, further, however, that each of the Minimum Indemnification Threshold and the Cap shall be subject to reduction as follows:

                    (i) the Execution Date Breach Threshold shall be reduced by an amount equal to 1% of the sum of (A) the MAE Adjustment Amount (if any) paid by Skynet or any of its Affiliates (other than Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries), expressed in US dollars at the Agreed Exchange Rate, and (B) the Final Adjustment Amount (if negative), expressed in United States dollars at the Closing Date Exchange Rate;

          (a) any actual federal, provincial or state income tax benefit, specifically arising from the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Loss and actually realized by the Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) (i) by a reduction in Taxes payable, or (ii) by the receipt of a refund of Taxes, by the Indemnified Person (or such Affiliates) (which, in the case of Holdco shall include Skynet’s Subsidiaries acquired by Holdco hereunder) but also taking into account any Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person or withheld with respect to the indemnification payment so that the Indemnified Person, on an after-tax basis, shall be placed in the same position as though the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Loss had never occurred or existed;

          (b) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Person (or its Affiliates) (which, in the case of Holdco shall include Skynet’s Subsidiaries acquired by Holdco hereunder), with respect to the Loss, net of any increase in insurance premiums incurred by the Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss. The Indemnified Person shall treat the Loss in a good faith manner that causes any federal, provincial, state or other income tax benefit to apply in the earliest year reasonably permissible; and

          (c) in the case of any claim for indemnification by Holdco or any of its Affiliates, any MAE Adjustment Amount (or portion thereof) that is paid and which relates to any Loss in respect of which such claim is made.

If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under Article VII is determined to be taxable to the Indemnified Person by any Governmental Entity, the Indemnifying Person shall also indemnify the Indemnified Person for any additional Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment except to the extent such Taxes were taken into account under Section 7.8(a).

     7.11. Investigations.

          The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties or covenants of Parent or Skynet (as applicable) under this Agreement shall not be affected by (a) any investigation conducted by Holdco or PSP or (b) any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any such Person at any time, whether before or after the date hereof or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant.

     7.12. Exclusive Remedy After Closing Date.

Telesat shall deduct and withhold from any payment made to Loral pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02 and

The cost and fees of the Independent Counsel shall be borne and paid equally by Telesat and Loral.

Such promissory notes shall be payable in full, or to the extent then permitted, 10 days after a determination being made, by way of the certification provided in this Section 4.04, that such promissory notes, or a portion of such promissory notes, may be paid pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Financing, or if not then paid in full, all such promissory notes shall be paid in full on •, 2018.

7.01 Indemnification of Loral

Telesat covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Loral, its Affiliates and shareholders and their respective authorized representatives, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, suits, proceedings, costs, damages, liabilities and judgments (including reasonable attorney’s fees)

sustained by the Indemnified Party related to or arising out of this Agreement, provided that the Indemnified Party has not committed any fraud, wilful misfeasance or wilful misconduct in relation to the matter or matters in respect of which such indemnification is claimed. Telesat agrees that Loral has received and is holding the benefit of this indemnity in trust for each of the Indemnified Parties other than Loral, with the intent that any such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to enforce the provision of such indemnity in its favour directly against Telesat.

7.02 Notification of Claim

In the event that a third party asserts a claim against an Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification from Telesat under Section 7.01, the Indemnified Party will forthwith give notice of such claim (a “Claim”) in writing to Telesat, together with a statement of such information respecting the Claim as it shall then have, copies of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding received by the Indemnified Party and the basis on which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification.

7.03 Right to Contest and Defend

     (1) Telesat is entitled, at its cost and expense, to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Claim; provided, however, that notice of the intention so to contest shall be delivered by Telesat to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time in light of the circumstances then existing, but in no event more than 30 days after receipt of notice of the Claim from the Indemnified Party. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of Telesat or the Indemnified Party, as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by counsel chosen by Telesat, but the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its choosing at its cost and expense unless the interests of Indemnified Parties and Telesat differ in the Claim, in which case, Telesat shall also pay all reasonable cost and expense of counsel of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party joins in any such contest, Telesat shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto.

     (2) If after such opportunity, Telesat does not elect to contest any such Claim, subject to paragraph (5) below, Telesat shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to abandon the contesting of the Claim or to settle or compromise the Claim, and Telesat shall be bound by all actions of the Indemnified Party with respect to such contest and/or Claim.

     (3) At any time after the commencement of defence of any Claim by Telesat, Telesat shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing promptly upon the abandonment of such contest or failure of Telesat (in which event the provisions of paragraph (2) above shall be applicable) or of the payment, compromise or settlement by Telesat of the Claim.

     (4) If requested by Telesat, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with Telesat and its counsel in contesting any Claim which Telesat elects to contest or, if appropriate and not inconsistent with the reasonable commercial interests of the Indemnified Party, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person and will take such other action as reasonably may be requested by Telesat to reduce or eliminate

any loss or expense for which Telesat would have responsibility, but Telesat will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable expenses incurred by it in so cooperating or acting at the request of Telesat.

     (5) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Telesat nor any Indemnified Party shall pay, compromise or settle any Claim or seek or agree to any equitable relief without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Telesat shall provide reasonable information to the Indemnified Party on an ongoing basis regarding the contest and the Claim and any proposed payment, compromise or settlement of the Claim and the basis for any equitable relief sought. Unless Telesat shall have abandoned the contesting of a Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to afford Telesat and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Regulatory Authorities, asserting such Claim against the Indemnified Party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.

     (6) Legal Compulsion. A Recipient (and its Affiliates and Associates) may disclose Confidential Information if so requested or required by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) and if at the time of such request or requirement the Recipient is reasonably satisfied (whether on the basis of express or implied undertakings or other reliable assurances, established administrative practice or requirements imposed by Applicable law) that the recipient of such Confidential Information will be required to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence.

     (7) Remedies for Breach. Each party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of its obligations under this Section 2.04 to any Owner would result in irreparable harm to such Owner which could not be calculated or adequately compensated by recovery of damages alone. Each party therefore agrees that any Owner whose Confidential Information a Recipient discloses or threatens to disclose in breach of this Agreement shall be entitled to interim or permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and such other equitable remedies against such Recipient (or its Affiliates or Associates) to restrain or remedy such breach.

2.05 Covenants of the Company, Interco and Telesat

ARTICLE 3 — CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

3.01 Board of Directors: General.

     (1) Authority and Independence. The Board shall have overall responsibility for managing and supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company; and the power and authority of the Directors shall be subject only to such restrictions as are imposed by Applicable Law and by this Agreement. Except as expressly restricted herein, as far as possible,

the power, authority and discretion of the Board shall be exercised independently and at Arm’s Length from the Shareholders as if it were a board of directors of a publicly held corporation, with a view to the best interests of the Company as a whole, notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Directors are Shareholder Nominees.

     (2) Information and Access: Business Conflicts. In order to resolve as expeditiously as possible, and in a manner that will promote the best interests of the Company, any conflicts of business objectives or interests between the Company, Interco or Telesat and any Shareholder (a “Conflicted Shareholder”), the Board may retain, at the expense of the Company, Interco or Telesat, technical and other advisors to assist in such resolution, and the Chairperson of the Board or the Board as a whole shall have the right to consult with the Executive Officers concerning the matters giving rise to the conflict in the absence of any Shareholder Nominee that is an Interested Party of the Conflicted Shareholder and, if Loral or any of its Affiliates is the Conflicted Shareholder, any Loral Nominee. Any such conflict shall be resolved by the Board in the manner required by the CBCA and in accordance with Section 3.01(1).

3.02 Number and Election of Directors

     (1) Composition and Term. The Board shall consist of not less than four and not more than ten Directors, with the number of Directors being initially set at ten Directors. If the number of Directors is reduced below ten, such reduction shall be made proportionately and as applicable at the relevant time between directors nominated by Loral and by PSP, and the number of Independent Directors, but there shall not be any reduction in the number of Directors except with the prior written consent of each of Loral and PSP. Each Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders after his or her election.

     (2) Identical Boards. The members of the board of directors of each of Interco and Telesat shall at all times be the same as the members of the Board. To accomplish this end, the resignation, removal or election of a Director of the Company shall be deemed to effect at the same time the resignation, removal or election, as the case may be, of the same director of Interco and Telesat, without further formality; however, as soon as practicable after any change in the composition of the Board, the Company with respect to Interco, and Interco with respect to Telesat, shall take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary to confirm, ratify and evidence such change in the board of directors of each of Interco and Telesat.

     (3) Chairperson. The Board shall have a chairperson (“Chairperson”) who shall be elected annually by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors. The Chairperson may not be an employee or officer of either the Company, Interco or Telesat. The Chairperson shall be responsible for such matters as:

	(a)		introducing proposals to the Board on matters that require Board approval;
	(b)		setting the agenda for Board meetings;
	(c)		convening and presiding at Board meetings;
	(d)		presiding at meetings of Shareholders; and
	(e)		circulating minutes for approval by the Directors.

The Chairperson shall not have a tie-breaking or casting vote and, except as may be conferred upon him or her by resolution of the Directors related to the execution of contracts approved by the Board, or in respect of the negotiation and execution of contracts within parameters set by the Board, or except as conferred by him or her in the By-laws, shall not have the authority to bind the Company.

     (5) Election and Qualification of Directors.

Loral shall have the right to nominate and have elected three nominees to the Board (each, a “Loral Nominee”), and PSP shall have the right to nominate and have elected three nominees to the Board (each, a “PSP Nominee”). The remaining four Directors, which will include the two Third Party Investors, and the remaining four directors of Interco and Telesat, which will also include the two Third Party Investors, shall be Independent Directors. All Shareholders shall vote their Shares at meetings of the Shareholders and act in all other respects in connection with the corporate proceedings of the Company to ensure that the nominees of Loral and PSP are elected and maintained in office from time to time as Directors.
	(b)		Residency. Unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law, no more than 20% of the Directors and no more than 20% of the directors of Interco and Telesat may be individuals who are Non-Residents. Loral shall have the exclusive right to nominate the maximum number of Non-Residents as Loral Nominees unless it expressly waives such right, which it may do with respect to each or both of such Loral Nominees, in whole or in part.

     (6) Committees of Directors. The Board may appoint from among its members and maintain an audit committee, pension committee and compensation committee and, subject to the following sentence, such other committees as the Board may approve from time to time and shall delegate to each such committee appropriate powers within its terms of reference to the extent permitted by this Agreement and by Applicable Law. The Board shall not appoint an executive committee, it being the intention of the Shareholders and the Company that such matters as would be customarily delegated to an executive committee shall be the responsibility of the full Board. Each such committee shall have three members and shall be chaired either by the Chairperson of the Company or by an Independent Director. The members of each committee shall be one of the four Independent Directors, one Loral Nominee and one PSP Nominee. No business shall be conducted, or shall continue, at any meeting of any committee unless a majority of the members present, and continuing to be present, are individual Canadians (within the meaning of section 2 of the Canadian Telecommunications Common Carrier Ownership and Control Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (Canada) who are not persons who are or have been Interested Parties in relation to any Shareholder who is a Non-Resident.

     (7) Vacancies of Shareholder Nominees. If any vacancy on the Board occurs from the retirement, resignation, death or removal of a Loral Nominee, a PSP Nominee or an

Independent Director, as the case may be, a replacement for such Loral Nominee or PSP Nominee may be nominated by Loral or PSP, respectively, or the Nominating Committee shall nominate a replacement Independent Director. Upon the occurrence of such a vacancy, the Directors shall call a special meeting of Shareholders, or each Shareholder shall sign a unanimous shareholders resolution, and each Shareholder agrees to exercise its voting rights at any such meeting, or sign any such unanimous shareholders resolution, in such manner as may be required to elect a replacement for the Loral Nominee, PSP Nominee or Independent Director in the manner aforesaid. The newly elected Loral Nominee, PSP Nominee or Independent Director shall serve the balance of the term of his or her predecessor.

     (8) Removal of Shareholder Nominees.

	(a)		Loral may requisition a meeting of Shareholders, or the execution of a unanimous shareholders resolution, to remove any Loral Nominee from the Board. PSP may requisition a meeting of Shareholders, or the execution of a unanimous shareholders resolution, to remove any PSP Nominee from the Board.
	(b)		No Loral Nominee may be removed from the Board unless such removal is first approved at a meeting of Shareholders at which Loral votes in favour, or unless Loral signs a unanimous shareholders resolution in favour of such removal, and no PSP Nominee may be removed unless such removal is first approved at a meeting of Shareholders at which PSP votes in favour or unless PSP signs a unanimous shareholder resolution in favour of such removal.

3.03 Independent Directors.

     (1) Qualifications. “Independent Director” means any Director who is not a Shareholder Nominee, who has been designated as a candidate for the office of Independent Director in accordance with this Section 3.03(3), who is qualified to act as a director under Applicable Law, and who at the time of his or her nomination:

	(a)		is an individual in good standing in the business community with experience as a company director;
	(b)		is not, and has not been within the last three years prior to being nominated, employed (other than as a Director or a director or officer of Telesat or as a Third Party Investor) by an Interested Party;
	(c)		is not an Interested Party, provided that in applying the term “Interested Party” solely in and for the purposes of this Section, but not in or for the purposes of any other Section, or cross reference to this Section, in this Agreement, MHR Fund shall be deemed to be a Shareholder; and
	(d)		has no other relationship (other than as a Director or as a director of Interco or Telesat) or characteristics that could reasonably be expected to compromise his or her independence in fact from all Interested Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action by a Director designated as an Independent Director shall be invalid by reason only that such Director did not meet the foregoing qualifications at the time such action was taken.

     (2) Organizational Meeting. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Shareholders will convene a special Shareholders’ meeting to elect the Directors.

     (3) Independent Directors: Nominations and Challenges. Not later than 60 days before each meeting of Shareholders at which Independent Directors are to be elected, either of PSP or Loral may request the formation of a nominating committee to propose nominees for the Independent Directors to be elected at such meeting. Such nominating committee, once proposed, shall meet within 10 days of the date of proposal by either PSP or Loral. The members of such nominating committee shall be one director who is a Loral Nominee (designated by Loral), one director who is a PSP Nominee (designated by PSP) and in the case of the first nominating committee, TPI #1, after TPI #1 has been selected by PSP, and thereafter one Independent Director selected by the Independent Directors then in office. The nominating committee as so selected (the “Nominating Committee”) shall meet and shall select, by majority vote, within 10 days of its first meeting, a slate of nominees of Independent Directors to be elected at the next meeting of Shareholders at which Directors are to be elected. Once a Nominating Committee is formed, each member of the Nominating Committee shall take part in, and shall vote on, the selection of each nominee for the position of Independent Director. The Nominating Committee shall report to each of PSP and Loral as to its proposed nominees, providing such information in reasonable detail as to the identity and background of each individual as will enable PSP and Loral to determine whether such individual meets the qualifications referred to in Section 3.03(1). During the 10 days following the date on which such notification is received, either PSP or Loral shall have the right and opportunity to interview each proposed nominee, to examine his or her credentials and to challenge, acting reasonably and in good faith, the proposed nomination on the basis that the proposed nominee does not meet all the qualifications referred to in Section 3.03(1). Upon such challenge being made in a timely manner, reasonably and in good faith, the proposed nomination shall be withdrawn and the Nominating Committee shall propose a new nominee. Any such challenge shall be presumed to be made reasonably and in good faith, but such presumption may be rebutted by satisfactory evidence to the contrary accepted as such, if required, by an Arbitrator in accordance with Article 9 or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (4) Voting for Independent Directors. Subject to the right to challenge a nominee as set forth in Section 3.03(3), all Shareholders owning Shares which may be voted for the election of Directors shall vote all such Shares to elect as Independent Directors the nominees selected by the Nominating Committee.

     (5) Removal of Independent Directors. Except as provided in Section 3.03(3), no Independent Director may be removed from office except by Extraordinary Resolution. An Independent Director who fails at any time to meet the requirements of independence set forth in Section 3.03(1) shall forthwith resign from the Board and the board of directors of Interco and Telesat and, if he or she fails to do so, the Shareholders shall cooperate with each other in convening as soon as practicable a meeting of the Nominating Committee to select a new nominee, and a Shareholder meeting to effect, and at such meeting shall vote to effect, the removal of such Director and the election of a new Independent Director.

3.04 Meetings of Directors

     (1) General. The Board shall hold regular meetings no less frequently than once each quarter. The Shareholders and the Corporation shall endeavour to ensure that a majority of the meetings of the Board in each calendar year shall be held in Canada. Any Director may requisition a directors’ meeting in the manner provided in the By-laws of the Company. At each meeting of the Board, the Executive Officers shall report to the Board as directed by the Board from time to time.

     (2) Quorum. In addition to any requirements under Applicable Law, a quorum for meetings of the Board shall be six of the Directors then in office (reduced in proportion to any reduction in the number of directors made pursuant to Section 3.02(1)), including one PSP Nominee and one Loral Nominee. No business shall be conducted, or shall continue, at any meeting of the Board if and when a quorum ceases to exist or unless a majority of the members present and continuing to be present are individual Canadians (within the meaning of Section 2 of the Canadian Telecommunications Common Carrier Ownership and Control Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (Canada)) who are not persons who are or have been Interested Parties in relation to, or nominees of, any Shareholder who is a Non-Resident. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if more than three (reduced in proportion to any reduction in the number of directors made pursuant to Section 3.02(1))of the Directors then in office are Interested Directors (as defined in Section 3.04(4)) in respect of a matter to come before the meeting, a quorum shall exist and shall be deemed to continue to exist during consideration of that matter so long as (a) a majority of the Directors who are not Interested Directors with respect to such matter is present at the meeting and at least two of the Directors present are Independent Directors and (b) if some or all of the Directors who are Interested Directors are not nominees of Non-Residents, a majority of the Directors present must be Canadians (within the meaning of Section 2 of the Canadian Telecommunications Common Carrier Ownership and Control Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (Canada)) who are not nominees of Non-Residents (and in order to constitute such quorum for consideration of the interested matter only, it shall be permissible for some or all of the Directors who are nominees of Non-Residents to absent themselves from that portion of the meeting at which the interested matter is being considered pursuant to Section 3.04(4)). If a quorum of directors is not present at a meeting of directors duly called because of the absence at such meeting of any Loral Nominee or any PSP Nominee, a quorum of directors at the next duly called meeting of directors shall not require the presence of a nominee of the Shareholder whose nominees prevented the formation of a quorum of directors at the last duly called meeting.

     (3) Vote. Any matter put before the Directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at the meeting who are not Interested Directors in respect of that matter, or a resolution signed by all of the directors.

leave the meeting (after having an opportunity to make a presentation to the Board regarding the Interested Matter) while such Interested Matter is being considered, unless such requirement is waived by a majority vote of the Directors who are not Interested Directors, and shall abstain from voting thereon. For greater certainty, (x) a matter referred to in Section 3.05(1)(e) or Section 3.05(1)(l) shall be considered an Interested Matter in respect of each Loral Nominee and (y) a matter referred to in Section 3.05(1)(k) shall be considered an Interested Matter in respect of each PSP Nominee.

     (1) Each of Loral and Loral Space shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees (in their capacity as such) and Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, while Loral (or any Person who is a Permitted Transferee of Loral within the meaning of clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Transferee) is a Shareholder and for a period of one year thereafter, cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employee who is a member of senior management of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, including Interco and Telesat, to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any general solicitation of employees that is not targeted at such persons.

     Each of PSP and MHR Fund shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees (in their capacity as such) and Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly in the case of PSP, while PSP (or any Person who is a Permitted Transferee of PSP within the meaning of clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Transferee) is a Shareholder, and in the case of MHR Fund while it owns, directly or indirectly, shares of Loral Space or is a Shareholder, and in each case for a period of one year thereafter, cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employee who is a member of senior

4.06 Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants

     (1) The covenants and undertakings contained in Sections 4.04 or 4.05 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of Sections 4.04 or 4.05 will cause irreparable injury to the Company, Interco or Telesat, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of Sections 4.04 or 4.05 will be inadequate. Therefore, the Company, Interco or Telesat will be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of Sections 4.04 or 4.05 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.

	(a)		a description of the shares to be offered or issued (the “Offered Treasury Shares”);
	(b)		the subscription price for each Offered Treasury Share; and
	(c)		the subscription date (the “Subscription Date”), which shall be a date not earlier than 25 Business Days after the date of the notice.

6.02 Initial Public Offering

     If the Company shall not have completed an initial public offering of its Equity Shares by the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, either PSP or Loral shall have the right at any time thereafter, by notice to the Company and to all other holders of Equity Shares, to cause the Company to conduct an initial public offering of its Equity Shares. Within 90 days after a Loral Change of Control, PSP shall have the right by notice to the Company and all other holders of Equity Shares to cause the Company to conduct an initial public offering (a “Change of Control Offering”). At any time after the Company has completed an initial public offering, each of PSP and Loral (and MHR Fund, upon becoming a direct holder of Shares, from which time it shall be a Shareholder) shall have the right, on not more than two occasions, by notice to the Company and the holders of Equity Shares, to require the Company to qualify a prospectus or registration statement for the distribution of Equity Shares held by such Shareholder or MHR Fund (a “Registration Event”). In addition, at any time after the Company has completed a Change of Control Offering, PSP shall have the right (such right, the “Change of Control Demand Right”), by notice to the Company and the holders of Equity Shares, to require the Company to qualify a prospectus or registration statement for the distribution of Equity Shares held by PSP (a “Change of Control Registration Event”) by the later of (x) six months following the Change

of Control Offering or (y) one month after the expiration of the lock-up required by the underwriters in connection with the Change of Control Offering, and such right shall not count towards the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the giving of a notice of initial public offering, the Shareholders will co-operate in good faith to facilitate an initial public offering of Equity Shares of the Company (including either, or a combination of, a primary and secondary distribution) subject to the following conditions:

(a)

prior to and as a condition precedent to the completion of any public offering the Shareholders will cooperate to:

	(i)		amend this Agreement so that it will no longer be a unanimous shareholder agreement under the CBCA and implement contractual arrangements satisfactory to the parties affected that will afford such parties protections and rights reasonably comparable to those provided under this Agreement to the extent that such protections and rights may under Applicable Law be granted by an agreement that is not a unanimous shareholder agreement under the CBCA, provided that, in connection with an initial public offering, the Shareholders will consider in good faith the termination of all or a portion of the rights set forth in this Agreement (excluding those set forth in Sections 6.02 through 6.05); provided, further that, in the event that the managing underwriter with respect to an initial public offerings notifies each of Loral and PSP that a continuation of any of the rights under this Agreement (excluding those set forth in Sections 6.02 through 6.05) may have a material adverse effect on the valuation of the Equity Shares being offered in such initial public offering, then such contractual rights shall be modified or deleted as necessary to prevent such material adverse effect; and
	(ii)		amend the Articles and By-laws to accommodate the public offering and the public ownership of Equity Shares;

	(b)		no public offering shall be made nor any steps taken preparatory thereto (including solicitations of interest or preparation and filing of a preliminary prospectus in any jurisdiction) except in conformity with Applicable Law;
	(c)		no public offerings of Shares by the Company from treasury shall be made unless issuance of such Shares is approved pursuant to Section 5.01 (except to the extent that PSP or Loral is causing the Company to conduct an initial public offering in accordance with this Section 6.02);
	(d)		the right of first offer granted under Section 7.07 shall not apply to any public offerings of Equity Shares by way of secondary distribution; and
	(e)		with respect to any public offering which is the result of a Registration Event or Change of Control Registration Event, the Equity Shareholder requiring the qualification of a prospectus or registration statement shall be entitled to recommend for consideration of the Board of Directors (i) the lead underwriter for such offering, (ii) whether such offering shall be made in Canada or the United States of America and (iii) the place of listing of the Equity Shares on a national

stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system consistent with the determination made in clause (ii).

6.03 Initial Public Offering and Registration Procedures

In an initial public offering of the Company, and any subsequent offering of Common Shares of the Company, each of PSP and Loral (and MHR Fund, if then a holder of Equity Shares) shall be entitled to request the inclusion in such offering document all or part of such Shareholder’s Equity Shares. If the underwriter managing the offering advises the Shareholders who have requested inclusion of their Shares in the offering, including any Shareholder exercising demand registration rights, pursuant to a Change of Control Demand Right or upon the happening of a Registration Event (collectively, the “Included Holders”) that marketing considerations require a limitation on the number of Shares offered, then the number of Shares to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be reduced to a number, reasonably deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter, provided that the securities to be included in the offering shall be determined in the following sequence:

	(a)		in the event that the offering is initiated by the Company, (i) first, securities sought to be offered by the Company, and (ii) second, securities sought to be offered by all Included Holders, pro rata among the Included Holders (based on the aggregate number of securities which each such Included Holder has requested to be included);
	(b)		subject to clauses (c) and (d), below, in the event that the offering is initiated by a Shareholder exercising a demand registration right or by PSP or Loral exercising its rights to cause an initial public offering after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, (i) first, securities sought to be offered by such Shareholder and the other Included Holders, pro rata among all such Included Holders (based on the aggregate number of securities which each such Included Holder has requested to be included), and (ii) second, securities sought to be offered by the Company;
	(c)		in the event that the offering is the initial public offering initiated by PSP within 90 days after a Loral Change of Control: (i) first, securities sought to be offered by PSP, (ii) second, securities sought to be offered by the Company, and (iii) securities sought to be offered by any other Included Holders other than PSP, pro rata among the Included Holders other than PSP (based on the aggregate number of securities which each such Included Holder has requested to be included); and
	(d)		in the event that the offering is initiated by PSP in connection with an exercise of the Change of Control Demand Right, then: (i) first, securities sought to be offered by PSP, (ii) second, securities sought to be offered by any other Included Holders other than PSP, pro rata among the Included Holders other than PSP (based on the aggregate number of securities which each such Included Holder has requested to be included), and (iii) third, securities sought to be offered by the Company.

If the Company is qualifying a prospectus or registration statement as a result of a Registration Event and the Shareholder requiring such qualification has been unable to dispose of more than

50% of the Shares which such Shareholder has requested to be included in the offering as a result of the application of this Section 6.03, such offering shall not qualify as one of the two occasions in which such Shareholder shall be able to require a Registration Event.

6.04 Assistance with Offerings

Whenever any Shareholder has exercised its right to require the Company to qualify a prospectus or registration statement for the offering of its Equity Shares, the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the consummation of the offering as soon as reasonably practicable, and will use reasonable commercial efforts and take all steps necessary for the preparation, filing and obtaining of receipts of a preliminary and final prospectus, and any required amendments thereto, from the securities commissions and other securities regulatory authorities of each Province of Canada (including a French language preliminary and final prospectus for use in the Province of Quebec), or all steps necessary for the preparation, filing, amending (including post-effective amendments) and supplementing of a registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States of America, and compliance with all relevant state laws, and shall make available appropriate members of its management to participate in road shows, marketing efforts and investor meetings in connection with the offering of Equity Shares. Each Shareholder will cooperate in good faith to the extent necessary to facilitate each such offering.

6.05 Expenses

All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04, including all prospectus preparation expenses, printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Equity Shares and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by a holder of Equity Shares), the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), registration and prospectus filing fees, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing of the equity shares, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and a single counsel to the Shareholders participating in the offering as selected by the Shareholder requiring the qualification of a prospectus or registration statement pursuant to Section 6.02 and the Company’s independent certified public accountants, the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such prospectus or registration statement, and the fees and expenses of other persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”) will be borne by the Company whether or not any final prospectus receipts are issued or the registration statement becomes effective; provided, however, that in no event shall Registration Expenses include any underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of the Equity Shares.

6.06 Auditor

Until changed by Extraordinary Resolution, the Auditor of the Company and of Interco and Telesat shall be Deloitte & Touche.

6.07 Year End

Until changed by Extraordinary Resolution, the fiscal year of the Company, Interco and Telesat shall end on December 31 in each year.

6.08 Access to Information

Each of the Company, Interco and Telesat shall provide to each of Loral and PSP (i) all annual and quarterly financial statements at such times as may be reasonably requested by either Loral or PSP in order to support filing obligations of Loral or PSP, and in no event later than the date that such financial statements are provided to the Company’s or Telesat’s bank lenders, and (ii) access to all other information concerning the business and affairs, financial performance and compliance with Applicable Laws of each of the Company, Interco and Telesat as shall be reasonably requested by either Loral or PSP, such access to be given under reasonable circumstances and in normal business hours.

Subject to this Section 7.04, each Shareholder shall be entitled, upon prior written notice to the Company and the other Shareholders, to transfer all or any portion of its Shares to any Permitted Transferee of that Shareholder. No such transfer shall be or become effective, however, until such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgement of the terms of this Agreement substantially in the form of Schedule H. Following a transfer, the transferring Shareholder and the Permitted Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the transferring Shareholder hereunder, provided

that if the transferee is MHR Fund, then MHR Fund shall not be jointly and severally liable with any transferring Shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, if MHR Fund acquires Equity Shares as a Permitted Transferee, MHR Fund will become subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.09 in its capacity as a Permitted Transferee thereunder. On subsequent transfers under this Section, the determination of whether the transferee is a Permitted Transferee shall be determined by reference to the Shareholder who was an original party to this Agreement, not by reference to the transferring Permitted Transferee in such subsequent transfer.

7.05 Indirect Transfers

     (1) Sole Ownership. Subject to Section 7.05(3), each Shareholder covenants and agrees with the other parties that (i) it shall remain the sole owner of all of the voting securities of any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of it that hereafter acquires any Shares so long as such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary holds such Shares, (ii) it will remain the sole manager of any fund managed by it into which any Shares are transferred and (iii) it shall not agree to be or be the subject of or a party to any transaction as a consequence of which Equity Shares or voting interests therein would be or are acquired by a Strategic Competitor of Telesat.

     (2) Prohibited Transfers. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.05(1), and subject to Section 7.05(3), the Company shall not recognize or register, and the Shareholders and the Board shall not approve, any direct transfer of Shares made in breach of Section 7.05(1), and neither the Board nor the Company shall recognize any direction, instruction or notice from any Person or group of Persons who acquires, directly or indirectly, control of a Shareholder as a result of a transfer or issuance of securities of such Shareholder or securities or other voting interests of any other Person made in breach of Section 7.05(1)(iii).

     (3) For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 7.05 shall prevent, restrict, impede or in any manner affect any transaction or series of related transactions through which Loral Space or any of its Affiliates (other than Loral, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) may be merged, combined or amalgamated with or into any other Person, or any securities or assets of Loral Space or any of its Affiliates (other than Loral, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) may be sold, transferred to or exchanged with the securities or other property of any other Person.

7.06 Sale of Shares on Insolvency

An Equity Shareholder (an “Insolvent Shareholder”) shall be deemed to have irrevocably offered to sell all of the Equity Shares owned by it to the other Equity Shareholders as of the day (the “Date of Withdrawal”) immediately before the day on which Insolvency Proceedings by or against that Insolvent Shareholder are commenced, and each other Shareholder may, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, purchase such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Proportion of the Equity Shares deemed to be offered by the Insolvent Shareholder (calculated without reference to the Shares held by the Insolvent Shareholder) at their Fair Market Value per Equity Share as determined under Section 8.03 by giving notice of their elections within 30 Business Days after the Date of Withdrawal, according to their Pro Rata Proportions or any other proportions as they may agree.

7.07 Right of First Offer

     (1) ROFO Notice. If at any time any Equity Shareholder wishes to sell some or all of the Equity Shares then owned by it (other than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee or the sale of up to the .5601% of Equity Shares that constitute part of the PSP Sell-Down, to which this Section 7.07 shall not apply), or PSP wishes to sell some or all of the Fixed Rate Preferred Shares then owned by it in conjunction with or at any time following a sale of all Equity Shares then owned by PSP and its Affiliates, such Shareholder (the “Offeror”) shall first give notice in writing (such notice, a “ROFO Notice”) to all other Equity Shareholders (the “Offeree Shareholders”) of its desire to sell, the purchase price per Share (and in the case of a ROFO Notice by PSP in respect of both Equity Shares and Fixed Rate Preferred Shares, a separate price per Share in respect of Shares of each such class) at which the Offeror wishes to sell (the “Stipulated Price”), any other terms and conditions of the sale (the “Stipulated Terms”) and the expiry date of the ROFO Notice (the “Expiry Date”). The ROFO Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Offeror to sell to each Offeree Shareholder or such other Permitted Purchaser as an Offeree Shareholder may designate under Section 8.08 (a “Designee”) the Pro Rata Proportion of the Shares specified in the ROFO Notice (the “Offered Shares”) at the Stipulated Price and on the Stipulated Terms. Subject to Section 7.07(3)(b), the ROFO Notice shall specify a Sale Closing Date that is no earlier than 30 days after the Expiry Date.

     (2) Expiry Date and Notice of Contemplation. The period from the date on which the ROFO Notice is issued and the Expiry Date may be no less than 30 days (the “Exercise Period”). If the Exercise Period for any ROFO Notice is less than 60 days, such ROFO Notice shall not be valid unless (x) before delivering such ROFO Notice, the Offeror shall have first delivered to each Offeree Shareholder a notice (a “Notice of Contemplation”) stating that the Shareholder is contemplating selling the Offered Shares and (y) the period from the date of the delivery of the Notice of Contemplation to the Expiry Date specified in the subsequent ROFO Notice is not less than 60 days and not more than 6 months. The Notice of Contemplation shall not constitute an offer to sell the Offered Shares and need not contain the terms or conditions upon which the Offeror is prepared to sell.

     (3) Acceptance by Offeree Shareholders.

	(a)		Each Offeree Shareholder may within the applicable Exercise Period give the Offeror written notice (an “Acceptance”) that such Offeree Shareholder accepts the offer contained in the ROFO Notice at the Stipulated Price and on the Stipulated Terms. Each Offeree Shareholder which delivers an Acceptance for its full Pro Rata Proportion of the Offered Shares shall be entitled to stipulate in its Acceptance that it wishes to purchase additional Offered Shares and the maximum number of additional Offered Shares that it is prepared to purchase, and if other Offeree Shareholders do not deliver Acceptances for their full Pro Rata Proportion of Offered Shares, the Offered Shares not accepted for purchase shall be allocated, in their Pro Rata Proportions, to the Offeree Shareholders which have stipulated a wish to purchase additional Offered Shares, provided that in no event shall an Offeree Shareholder be required to purchase a greater number of Offered Shares than the maximum number specified in its Acceptance.
	(b)		If an Offeree Shareholder is unable to accept the offer contained in a ROFO Notice by reason of restrictions of Applicable Law but desires to have the

opportunity to procure a Designee that would not be so restricted (a “Suitable Designee”), the Offeree Shareholder may accept such offer on behalf of an unnamed Suitable Designee, it being agreed and understood, however, that such acceptance shall create a binding obligation on the part of the Offeree Shareholder to pay or cause to be paid the Stipulated Price to the Offeror on the Sale Closing Date regardless of whether the Offeree Shareholder has procured a Suitable Designee. If the Offeree Shareholder accepts an offer contained in a ROFO Notice under this Section 7.07(3)(b), the Offeror and the Offeree Shareholder shall be deemed to have agreed that the Sale Closing Date is the first Business Day that is more than 90 days after the Expiry Date. If on such Sale Closing Date the Offeree Shareholder is not permitted by Applicable Law to take delivery of the Offered Shares and no Suitable Designee has been procured, the Offeree Shareholder shall nevertheless pay the Stipulated Price to the Offeror. In such event, the Offeror shall reserve and refrain from selling or otherwise dealing with the Offered Shares and the rights of the Offeree Shareholder with respect to the Offered Shares shall be limited to being permitted to acquire the Offered Shares at a later date pursuant to Applicable Laws, or to procure an acceptable Designee, and the Offeree Shareholder shall have no other rights with respect to the Offered Shares. In the event that by reason of a Change in Law the Offeree Shareholder is subsequently permitted to acquire the Offered Shares, or the Offeree Shareholder has procured a Suitable Designee, the Offeree Shareholder shall give notice of such Change in Law or the procurement of a Suitable Designee to the Offeror and to the Company, and, if applicable, upon being satisfied that such transfer does not contravene Applicable Law, the Company shall register the transfer of the Offered Shares to the Offeree Shareholder, or to the Suitable Designee, as the case may be, on the date specified by the Offeree Shareholder which shall be not less than five Business Days after the date of its notice.

(c)

If the Offeree Shareholders do not deliver Acceptances to the Offeror during the Exercise Period for all of the Offered Shares, the Offeror may, subject to Section 7.07(3)(b), at any time during the three month period following the expiry of the Exercise Period sell any Offered Shares for which Acceptances were not delivered to any Permitted Purchaser at a purchase price which is not less than the Stipulated Price and on terms and conditions which are not more favourable to the Permitted Purchaser than the Stipulated Terms set forth in the ROFO Notice.

     (4) Continuing Right. If the sale to a Permitted Purchaser is not completed within the three month period referred to in Section 7.07(3)(b), the Offeror may not sell the Offered Shares without first offering them again in accordance with this Section 7.07.

     (5) Termination of Loral Right of First Offer. If a Loral Default shall occur, Loral shall thereafter have no rights as an Offeree Shareholder pursuant to this Section 7.07.

     (6) Following a Public Offering. If at any time after a public offering any Equity Shareholder wishes to sell some or all of the Equity Shares then owned by it pursuant to clause (iii) (y) of Section 7.03 (other than the sale of up to the .5601% of Equity Shares that constitute part of the PSP Sell-Down, to which Section 7.07 shall not apply), the provisions of this Section 7.07 shall apply but with the following modifications:

	(a)		the Exercise Period may be 15 days or longer, but not less than 15 days;
	(b)		the requirement set forth in the second sentence of Section 7.07(2) that the Offeror deliver to the Offeree Shareholder a Notice of Contemplation shall not apply;
	(c)		Section 7.07(3)(b) shall apply provided however that the second sentence of such section shall be replaced as follows:
			”If the Offeree Shareholder accepts an offer contained in a ROFO Notice under this Section 7.07(3)(b), the Offeror and the Offeree Shareholder shall be deemed to have agreed that the Sale Closing Date is the first Business Day that is more than 30 days after the Expiry Date”; and
	(d)		Section 7.07(3)(c) shall be replaced as follows:
			”If the Offeree Shareholders do not deliver Acceptances to the Offeror during the Exercise Period for all of the Offered Shares, the Offeror may, subject to Section 7.07(3)(b), at any time during the 30 day period following the expiry of the Exercise Period sell any Offered Shares for which Acceptances were not delivered to any Person (including any Permitted Purchaser) at a purchase price per Equity Share which is not less than 98% of the price stipulated in the ROFO Notice, and in the event of a private sale, on terms and conditions which are not more favourable to the purchaser than the Stipulated Terms set forth in the ROFO Notice.”

7.08 Tag-Along/Drag-Along Rights

In addition to the restrictions imposed by Section 7.03, the following provisions shall apply whenever Loral or a Permitted Transferee of Loral (a “Selling Loral Shareholder”) wishes to sell Equity Shares then owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees (the “Offered Loral Equity Shares”) to any Permitted Purchaser other than a Permitted Transferee or a Designee (a “Proposed Loral Purchaser”) and wishes to make to, or has received from, the Proposed Loral Purchaser an offer in respect of the Offered Loral Equity Shares or to enter into a written agreement of purchase and sale relating to the Offered Loral Equity Shares (any such offer or proposed agreement, a “Loral Offer”). As used in this Section 7.08, “Proportionate Fraction” in respect of a particular Loral Offer means a fraction the numerator of which is the number of the Offered Loral Equity Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Equity Shares held by Loral or its Permitted Transferee at the time of determination.

     (1) Tag-along Right in Favour of Non-Loral Shareholders. No Selling Loral Shareholder shall sell, offer to sell or agree to sell any of the Equity Shares owned by such Selling Loral Shareholder to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee unless the applicable Loral Offer is in writing and provides as a condition precedent to its completion that the Proposed Loral Purchaser will grant each other Equity Shareholder the right to require the Proposed Loral Purchaser to purchase, at the discretion of each such other Equity Shareholder, for cash or in securities that are readily tradeable on a securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in Canada or the United States of America, some or all of the Proportionate Fraction of such other Shareholder’s Equity Shares at the same price contained in the Loral Offer

and on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Loral Offer. The Selling Loral Shareholder shall give notice of any such proposed sale to each other holder of Equity Shares no less than 30 days before the proposed Sale Closing Date (a “Tag-along Notice”). The Tag-along Notice will constitute an irrevocable offer on behalf of the Proposed Loral Purchaser to purchase from such other holder of Equity Shares the Proportionate Fraction of the Equity Shares then held by the other holders of Equity Shares (or such lesser number as the other holders of Equity Shares may elect) at the same price contained in the Loral Offer and on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Loral Offer, and each other holder of Equity Shares will have no less than 15 days to accept such offer, specifying in such acceptance the number and class of Equity Shares that the other holder of Equity Shares wishes to sell to the Proposed Loral Purchaser. The completion of the sale of any such Equity Shares by each other holder of Equity Shares will be subject to the completion of the sale of the Offered Loral Equity Shares by the Selling Loral Shareholder and vice versa. The provisions of this Section 7.08(1) shall not apply to the sale by Selling Loral Shareholders of up to 5% (in the aggregate) of the Equity Shares owned by Loral on the Effective Date, provided that if a Selling Loral Shareholder offers Equity Shares in any transaction in which more Equity Shares than those exempted from the application of this Section 7.08(1) are being offered for sale (including a proposed sale of less than 5% of the Equity Shares owned by Loral on the Effective Date but when those shares are combined with prior sales by all Loral Selling Shareholders exempted from the application of this Section 7.08(1), would allow Loral Selling Shareholders to have sold more than 5% (in the aggregate) of the Equity Shares owned by Loral on the Effective Date without application of this Section 7.08(1)), this Section 7.08(1) shall apply to such transaction, and the rights of Selling Loral Shareholders to sell up to 5% (in the aggregate) of the Equity Shares owned by Loral on the Effective Date without compliance with this Section 7.08(1) shall continue after such transaction to the same extent as they existed prior to such transaction.

     (2) Drag-along Right in Favour of Loral. Subject to Section 5.02(3), following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Skynet Asset Transfer Agreement and the Skynet Sale Agreement, or by the Loral Alternative Subscription Agreement, if (x) the Loral Offer is bona fide and for all of the Equity Shares and the proposed consideration for the Equity Shares is for cash or for equity securities that are readily tradeable on a securities exchange or inter-dealer quotations system in Canada or the United States of America and (y) the Proposed Purchaser deals at Arm’s Length with the Selling Loral Shareholder, such Loral Offer may require as a condition precedent to its completion that each other holder of Equity Shares (each, a “Drag-along Shareholder”) agrees to sell to the Proposed Purchaser all of such Drag-along Shareholder’s Equity Shares at the same price contained in the Loral Offer and on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Loral Offer. The Selling Loral Shareholder shall give notice of any such proposed sale to each Drag-along Shareholder no less than 60 days before the proposed Sale Closing Date (a “Drag-along Notice”). Receipt of a Drag-along Notice by a Drag-along Shareholder will constitute an irrevocable offer to sell to the Proposed Purchaser (a “Deemed Offer”) of such Drag-along Shareholder’s Equity Shares then held by the Drag-along Shareholder at the same price contained in the Loral Offer and on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Loral Offer; and each Drag-along Shareholder hereby appoints each Selling Loral Shareholder as its true and lawful attorney for the purpose of transmitting the Deemed Offer to the Proposed Purchaser. The completion of the sale of such Equity Shares by a Drag-along Shareholder will be subject to the completion of the sale of the Offered Loral Equity Shares by the Selling Shareholder and vice versa. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Loral Default shall occur and Section 5.02(3) shall not apply, the rights of any

Selling Loral Shareholder contained in this Section 7.08(2) shall be suspended for a period of six months from the occurrence of such Loral Default and such rights shall be reinstated in full following the expiration of such six-month period if, during such six month period following the occurrence of such Loral Default, PSP has not delivered a PSP Call Notice pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.09.

	(3)		Company Sale Drag-along Right.
	(a)		The drag-along rights as provided in this Section 7.08(3) shall apply only if (i) a Loral Default shall have occurred, or (ii) (x) a Loral Change of Control shall have occurred, (y) as a result thereof, PSP shall have given, within 90 days of such Loral Change of Control, notice pursuant to Section 6.02 that it wishes to cause the Company to conduct an initial public offering, and (z) such initial public offering shall not have been consummated within twelve months of the Loral Change of Control as a result of the failure by the Company, Interco or Loral to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such initial public offering (as determined by arbitration pursuant to Article 9 unless otherwise agreed by PSP and Loral).
	(b)		Upon the happening of either event specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 7.08(3), PSP shall have the right to deliver to the Company a notice (a “Company Sale Notice”) requiring the commencement of a procedure for the sale of the Company. Within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of a Company Sale Notice, the Board of Directors shall retain the services of a financial advisor selected by the Board after consultation with PSP to market the Company to third party purchasers, and each of Loral, PSP and the Company shall assist in such process to maximize the value that can be obtained in the sale of all of the Equity Shares of the Company.
	(c)		If a bona fide offer is received for all of the Equity Shares for cash or for securities that are readily tradeable on a securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in Canada or the United States of America and the offeror (the “Proposed Purchaser”) deals at Arm’s Length with each of Loral and PSP, then if PSP (the “Accepting Shareholder”) wishes to accept such offer, it may require the other holders of Equity Shares to agree to sell to the Proposed Purchaser all of such other Shareholder’s Equity Shares at the same price contained in the Proposed Purchaser’s offer and on the same terms and conditions. The Accepting Shareholder shall give notice of any such proposed sale to each other Shareholder no less than 60 days before the sale closing date. Receipt of such a notice by such other Shareholder will constitute an irrevocable offer to sell by such other Shareholder to the Proposed Purchaser all Equity Shares then held by each such other Shareholder at the same price contained in the Proposed Purchaser’s offer and on the same terms and conditions, and each such other Shareholder hereby appoints the Accepting Shareholder as its true and lawful attorney for the purpose of transmitting such other Shareholder’s offer to the Proposed Purchaser. Completion of the sale of all such Equity Shares by such other Shareholders will be subject to the completion of the sale of the Accepting Shareholder’s Equity Shares and vice versa.

	(4)		Provisions Applicable to Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights
	(a)		After compliance with the rights of first offer provided in Section 7.07, the rights of Equity Shareholders described in Section 7.07 shall not apply to any offer or sale made pursuant to Sections 7.08(2) or (3), but shall apply to any other offer or sale pursuant to Section 7.08(1).
	(b)		In lieu of an offer to purchase shares to be made by a Proposed Loral Purchaser or Proposed Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.08(2) or (3), a proposal of amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, or a proposal of purchase of all of the assets of the Company, may instead be made, provided that such offer is a bona fide offer that provides identical consideration or treatment to the holders of all Equity Shares, is proposed by a Person who deals at Arm’s Length with each of PSP and Loral, and will result in the direct or indirect receipt by each holder of Equity Shares of cash or securities that are readily tradeable on a securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in Canada or the United States of America, and the provisions of Section 7.08(2) and (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any such proposal.
	(c)		In the case of any drag-along or tag-along right exercised pursuant to Section 7.08, the Company shall pay the out-of-pocket expenses of the Shareholders either initiating or responding to the exercise of such drag-along or tag-along rights, including the fees and expenses of financial advisors, investment advisors and legal advisors.
	(d)		If drag-along rights are made available pursuant to Section 7.08(3), Loral agrees to make available to the purchaser of the Equity Shares a covenant of confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation in substance equivalent to that provided to the Company pursuant to Sections 2.04, 4.04 and 4.05 provided, that, in the event of a drag-along right exercised pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.08(3)(a), Loral shall not be required to provide such confidentiality and non-competition covenant, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 4.04, or otherwise, if the transactions contemplated by the Skynet Asset Transfer Agreement and Skynet Sale Agreement shall not have occurred and Loral Skynet is not being transferred to the purchaser of the Equity Shares in conjunction with such purchase.
	(e)		In connection with each tag-along or drag-along sale, each Shareholder selling Equity Shares shall, to the extent required by the Shareholder initiating the sale (i) make such representations and warranties with respect to such Shareholder as are customary for transactions of the nature of the proposed transaction, (ii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in respect of the purchase price or indemnification obligations; provided, that no Shareholder shall be obligated (x) to indemnify, other than severally indemnify, any Person in connection with such sale, or (y) to incur liability to any Person in connection with such sale, including, without limitation, under any indemnity, in excess of the lesser of (A) its pro rata share of such liability and (B) the gross proceeds realized by such Shareholder in such sale. Neither PSP nor MHR Fund

shall be required to agree to a non-compete or non-solicitation obligation or covenant in connection with any such sale.

7.09 PSP Call Rights

	(a)		Upon the occurrence of a Loral Default, PSP shall have the right, exercisable for a period of six months following the occurrence of such Loral Default, to deliver to Loral a notice (the “PSP Call Notice”) requiring Loral and its Permitted Transferees to sell to PSP, or to any purchaser as PSP shall designate in such notice (the “PSP Designee”), all of the Equity Shares then owned by Loral or its Permitted Transferees (other than, for greater certainty, any Equity Shares owned by MHR Fund or any of its Affiliates and not acquired from Loral or any of its Affiliates). Such right of PSP shall be exercisable at a price per Equity Share equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, determined as of the date at which the PSP Call Notice is delivered; provided that if Loral Space or an Affiliate breached the terms of Section 2.8(a) of the Skynet Asset Transfer Agreement or, if applicable, Section 2.1(b) of the Ancillary Agreement, or failed to fully perform Section 4.1 of the Loral Alternative Subscription Agreement or Section 4.3 of the Loral Alternative Subscription Agreement, as the case may be, then such right of PSP shall be exercisable at a price per Equity Share equal to the Loral Cost. If PSP shall indicate in the PSP Call Notice that it considers that there has been a breach of Section 2.8(a) of the Skynet Asset Transfer Agreement or, if applicable, Section 2.1(b) of the Ancillary Agreement or Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 of the Loral Alternative Subscription Agreement, and Loral disputes that a breach exists, PSP shall pay to Loral the Loral Cost per Equity Share on the closing date of the exercise of the PSP purchase as provided in this Section 7.09 and PSP shall place into escrow on such closing date with a financial institution satisfactory to Loral and PSP, each acting reasonably, on terms satisfactory to Loral and PSP, each acting reasonably, funds equal to the difference between the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined pursuant to Section 8.03) and the aggregate Loral Cost pending the determination of whether or not such a breach has occurred, and in the event it is determined that such a breach did not occur, such funds held in escrow, together with the accrued interest thereon, shall be paid to Loral, and in the event it is determined that such a breach did occur, such funds held in escrow, together with the accrued interest thereon, shall be paid to PSP. If Loral and PSP are unable to agree upon a financial institution to act as escrow agent, or are unable to agree upon the terms of an escrow agreement in respect of the holding and disbursement of the escrowed funds, such matters shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 , such arbitration to be based on a standard of commercial reasonableness under the circumstances then existing.
	(b)		Upon receipt of a PSP Call Notice, Loral and its Permitted Transferees shall be obligated to sell to PSP or the PSP Designee, and PSP shall be obligated to purchase from Loral and its Permitted Transferees, either directly or through the PSP Designee, all of the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees and subject to 7.09(a) at a price per Equity Share determined in accordance with Section 7.09(a) on the day set out in the PSP Call Notice, which

			shall be not earlier than 90 Business Days nor later than 120 Business Days from the date of the PSP Call Notice.
	(c)		If PSP designates in the PSP Call Notice a PSP Designee as the purchaser of the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees, such designation shall create a binding obligation on PSP to pay or cause to be paid to Loral and its Permitted Transferees the price per Equity Share provided in Section 7.09(a) on the closing date set out in the PSP Call Notice. If on such closing date, PSP or the PSP Designee is not permitted under Applicable Law to own the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees , PSP shall nevertheless pay to Loral and its Permitted Transferees the purchase price determined in accordance with Section 7.09(a). In such event, Loral and its Permitted Transferees shall reserve and refrain from selling or otherwise dealing with the Equity Shares then owned by them and the rights of PSP with respect to the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees shall be limited to being permitted to acquire the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees at a later date pursuant to Applicable Law, or to procure an acceptable designee, and PSP shall have no other rights with respect to the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees. In the event that by Change of Law PSP is subsequently permitted to acquire the Loral Equity Shares, or PSP procures a designee that may acquire the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees, PSP may give notice of such Change of Law or such designee to the Company, and upon being satisfied that such transfer to PSP or such designee does not contravene Applicable Law, the Company shall then register the transfer of the Equity Shares owned by Loral and its Permitted Transferees to PSP or such designee.

7.10 Loral Call Rights

	(a)		If (w) there shall have occurred a Loral Change of Control (x) within 90 days after the Loral Change of Control, PSP delivers to the Company and all other holders of Equity Shares a notice requiring the Company to conduct an initial public offering as permitted by Section 6.02 (y) such initial public offering shall not have been consummated within twelve months of the Loral Change of Control as a result of the failure of the Company, Interco or Loral to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such initial public offering (as determined by a arbitration pursuant to Article 9 , unless otherwise agreed by PSP and Loral), and (z) PSP shall have delivered to Loral a Company Sale Notice pursuant to Section 7.08(3), Loral shall have the right, exercisable within 75 days of delivery by PSP to Loral of a Company Sale Notice pursuant to Section 7.08(3), to deliver to PSP a notice (the “Loral Call Notice”) requiring PSP to sell to Loral, or to any purchaser as Loral shall designate in such notice (the “Loral Designee”) all of the Equity Shares then owned by PSP at a price per Equity Share equal to Fair Market Value.
	(b)		Upon receipt of a Loral Call Notice, PSP shall be obligated to sell to Loral, or to the Loral Designee, and Loral shall be obligated to purchase from PSP, either directly or through the Loral Designee, all of the Equity Shares owned by PSP at a price per Equity Share equal to the Fair Market Value on the day which is 20

			Business Days after the determination of Fair Market Value per Equity Share has been made pursuant to Section 8.03.
	(c)		If Loral designates in the Loral Call Notice a Loral Designee as the purchaser of the Equity Shares owned by PSP, such designation shall create a binding obligation on Loral to pay or cause to be paid to PSP the Fair Market Value per Equity Share on the closing date set out in the Loral Call Notice. If on such closing date, Loral or the Loral Designee is not permitted under Applicable Law to own the Loral Equity Shares, Loral shall nevertheless pay to PSP the aggregate Fair Market Value amount. In such event, PSP shall reserve and refrain from selling or otherwise dealing with the Equity Shares then owned by it and the rights of Loral with respect to the PSP Equity Shares shall be limited to being permitted to acquire the PSP Equity Shares at a later date pursuant to Applicable Law, or to procure an acceptable designee, and Loral shall have no other rights with respect to the PSP Equity Shares. In the event that by Change of Law Loral is subsequently permitted to acquire the PSP Equity Shares, or Loral procures a designee that may acquire the PSP Equity Shares, Loral may give notice of such Change of Law or such designee to the Company, and upon being satisfied that such transfer to Loral or such designee does not contravene Applicable Law, the Company shall then register the transfer of the PSP Equity Shares to Loral or such designee.

7.11 Transfers of Director Voting Shares

PSP shall have the right to call, at any time by giving 5 Business Days notice to any holder of Director Voting Preferred Shares, for the transfer of all such Director Voting Preferred Shares owned by such holder to a purchaser designated by PSP in such notice (a “Director Voting Preferred Share Transfer Notice”). Upon delivery of such Directors Voting Preferred Share Transfer Notice, the Shareholder to which such notice is given shall transfer to the Person designated in such Director Voting Preferred Transfer Notice all Director Voting Preferred Shares owned by such Shareholder on the fifth Business Day following delivery of such notice to the Shareholder at a purchase price of $10 per Director Voting Preferred Share, provided that such purchaser is a Permitted Purchaser. In order to expedite the transfer of Director Voting Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 7.11, each Shareholder shall deliver to PSP, upon the date of acquisition by such Shareholder of any Director Voting Preferred Shares, all certificates representing such Shares, endorsed in blank for transfer. PSP shall be entitled to deliver such certificates to any Permitted Purchaser in order to facilitate a purchase and sale of Director Voting Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 7.11, but shall not otherwise be entitled to deal with certificates representing the Director Voting Preferred Shares, which certificates shall otherwise be held custodially by PSP at all times.

7.12 Changes in Law Affecting Permissible Levels of Loral’s Shareholdings

Required Reductions in Share Ownership. If the introduction of or any change in Applicable Law or the interpretation thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof (any such introduction or change, a “Change in Law”) has the effect of requiring Loral to divest itself of any number of Shares (the “Excess Shares”) that it then holds, or if such Change in Law would render Telesat ineligible to continue to operate its Satellite Communications Business under Applicable Law if Loral continued to

hold the Excess Shares, then on or before the effective date of such Change in Law or as soon as possible thereafter if such Change of Law is immediate, Loral shall either:

	(a)		if the Excess Shares are Common Shares, convert such Excess Shares into an equal number of Non-Voting Participating Preferred Shares; or
	(b)		if the Excess Shares are any other class of Shares, or are Common Shares but the conversion of such Common Shares into Non-Voting Participating Preferred Shares would not cause such shares to cease to be Excess Shares, sell the Excess Shares to a Permitted Purchaser (provided that the rights of first offer contained in Section 7.07 shall apply to any such sale).

7.13 Notice of Conversion

Each Shareholder shall give notice to the Corporation and to each holder of Equity Shares of its intention to convert Equity Shares of any class into Equity Shares of any other class, such notice to be given not less than two Business Days prior to the intended conversion date.

7.14 Share Certificates Legend

All Share certificates of the Company shall bear the following legend conspicuously on their face:

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to the terms and conditions of a unanimous shareholder agreement made as of •, 2007 and are not transferable except in compliance with that agreement.”

ARTICLE 8 — GENERAL SALE PROVISIONS

8.01 Application of Sale Provisions

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any sale of Equity Shares (each a “Sale Transaction”) between or among Shareholders or their designees or between a Shareholder or its designee and the Company, in each case pursuant to this Agreement.

8.02 Defined Terms

For the purposes of this Article 8 :

     (1) “Purchased Shares” means the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold or issued and taken up and paid for in any Sale Transaction; and

     (2) “Purchase Price” means the amount to be paid as the purchase or subscription price for the Purchased Shares.

8.03 Determination of Fair Market Value

     (1) By Agreement. Where the Fair Market Value of Equity Shares to be purchased and sold under this Agreement is required to be determined, such Fair Market Value shall be the value agreed by the parties to the Sale Transaction within 20 Business Days of the date on which the applicable offer to sell is made or deemed to be made, or in the case of Section 7.09, the date the PSP Call Notice is delivered (the “Determination Date”).

     (2) Valuation. If the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Value within 20 Business Days of the Determination Date, the Fair Market Value of the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold shall be determined as follows:

	(a)		Within 25 Business Days of the Determination Date, the purchaser shall give notice to the vendor proposing the name of the business valuer (the “Valuer”) that the purchaser wishes to determine the Fair Market Value of the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold. Within 10 Business Days after receipt of the notice, the vendor shall give notice to the purchaser advising whether the vendor accepts such Valuer.
	(b)		If no notice is given by the vendor within the specified period, the vendor will be deemed to have accepted the Valuer. If notice is given by the vendor within the specified period that it rejects the Valuer proposed by the purchaser, the purchaser may engage the Valuer but the vendor may engage a separate business valuer (the “Vendor’s Valuer”).
	(c)		Each individual selected as a Valuer or a Vendor’s Valuer:

	(i)		shall be qualified by education and experience to value corporations in the telecommunications industry;
	(ii)		shall be at Arm’s Length to both parties and not otherwise an Interested Party; and
	(iii)		shall not be an individual who is a member or employee of a Person that has otherwise been retained by either of the parties.

	(d)		Except as specified in the last sentence of this Section 8.03(2)(d), the Costs and Expenses of the Valuer shall be paid by the purchaser, or, if there is more than one purchaser, by the purchasers in accordance with their Pro Rata Proportions relative to each other. Except as specified in the last sentence of this Section 8.03(2)(d), the Costs and Expenses of the Vendor’s Valuer shall be paid by the Vendor. In the event that Fair Market Value is being determined for the purposes of Section 7.09, the Costs and Expenses of the Valuer and the Vendor’s Valuer shall each be paid by the Company.
	(e)		The Valuer shall be instructed to prepare a written valuation report on the Fair Market Value of the Equity Shares. The valuation report must contain disclosure consistent with that required under OSC Rule 61-501 and Companion Policy 61-501CP issued pursuant to the Securities Act (Ontario) as it may be amended from

			time to time and Appendix A to Standard #110 “Valuation Report Standards and Recommendations” of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators as it was on the date of this Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 8.3(b). The Company will cooperate fully in providing to the Valuer information and access to management. The Valuer shall provide a draft of its report to the parties within 60 Business Days of the Determination Date. The draft may omit value conclusions but shall set out major assumptions, judgments, pertinent empirical evidence and a detailed framework for valuation calculations. The parties shall provide written comments on the draft to the Valuer within 70 Business Days of the Determination Date. The Valuer shall provide its final valuation report to the parties within 80 Business Days of the Determination Date.
	(f)		The Company will provide the Vendor’s Valuer with the same cooperation, information and access as that provided to the Valuer. The Vendor’s Valuer shall be instructed to adhere to the same valuation report timetable, disclosure and process as that described in Section 8.03(2)(e).
	(g)		The vendor may provide to the Valuer the draft valuation report of the Vendor’s Valuer and the purchaser may provide to the Vendor’s Valuer the draft valuation report of the Valuer.
	(h)		Subject to Section 8.03(2)(i), where the price of the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold is their Fair Market Value, such price shall be the Fair Market Value set out in the Valuer’s valuation report. If in the Valuer’s valuation report Fair Market Value is expressed to be within a range, the mid-point of the range shall be the price of such Equity Shares.
	(i)		If the vendor notifies the purchaser within 90 Business Days of the Determination Date that it is not satisfied with the price determined under Section 8.03(2)(h) and if the Vendor’s Valuer has prepared a report as set out in Section 8.03(2)(f) then the final Valuer’s report and the final Vendor’s Valuer’s report shall be submitted to an Arbitrator, who shall determine the price of the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold in accordance with the provisions of Schedule E.
	(j)		The Arbitrator shall not be requested to prepare a third valuation but shall be requested to review the two valuation reports and any written comments from the vendor or purchaser provided under Section 8.03(2)(e), and to interview the purchaser, vendor, representatives of the Company, the Valuer and the Vendor’s Valuer and, on the basis of that review, to determine the price of the Equity Shares to be purchased and sold. In conducting its review, the Arbitrator shall give particular emphasis to the qualifications and independence of the Valuer and the Vendor’s Valuer, the scope of their work and analysis and the fullness and clarity of the disclosure of assumptions, judgments, pertinent empirical evidence and calculations in the valuation reports.
	(k)		If the determination of Fair Market Value by the Arbitrator is:

	(i)		equal to or less than 5% above the Fair Market Value determined by the Valuer, then all Costs and Expenses of the arbitration shall be paid by the vendor; and
	(ii)		more than 5% above the Fair Market Value determined by the Valuer, then all Costs and Expenses of the arbitration shall be paid by the purchaser, or if there is more than one purchaser, by the purchasers in accordance with their Pro Rata Proportions relative to each other.

(l)

The determination of Fair Market Value by the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the vendor and purchaser.

8.04 Payment and Closing Provisions

The following shall apply to each Sale Transaction subject to any express provisions to the contrary:

     (1) Payment of Purchase Price and Delivery of Certificates. The Purchase Price shall be paid in cash, by wire transfer or bank draft or certified cheque drawn on a Canadian chartered bank at the time of closing on the Sale Closing Date at the place of closing against receipt by the purchaser of the share certificate or certificates representing the Purchased Shares, duly endorsed in blank for transfer with signatures guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank or trust company. All other payments required to be made in connection with a Sale Transaction shall be paid in cash, by wire transfer or bank draft or certified cheque drawn on a Canadian chartered bank at the time payment is required to be made, except that where permitted by the provisions of Article 7, payment may be made in whole or in part in marketable securities.

     (2) Title. The seller of the Purchased Shares (the “Vendor”) shall represent and warrant in writing, such warranty to survive closing, that it has good and marketable title to the Purchased Shares (or in the case of an issuance of Shares from treasury, that the Purchased Shares have been duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable) and clear of any Lien except for the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall deliver to the purchaser all such documents, instruments and releases and shall take all such steps and do all such acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest such title in the purchaser.

     (3) Section 116 of the Income Tax Act. The Vendor (other than the Company) shall either provide the purchaser with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the purchaser that the Vendor is not then a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or provide the purchaser with a certificate pursuant to Subsection 116(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) with a certificate limit in an amount not less than the Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares; provided that if such evidence or certificate is not forthcoming, the purchaser shall be entitled to make the payment of tax required under Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and to deduct such payment from the Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares.

     (4) Vendor’s Non–Completion

(a)

If on the Sale Closing Date, the Vendor shall default in its performance of the Sale Transaction, the purchaser shall have the right upon such default (without prejudice to any other rights which it may have) to pay the Purchase Price to the

			credit of the Vendor in a special account at the principal branch of the Company’s principal bankers in the City of Toronto, and upon such payment to complete the Sale Transaction as aforesaid.
	(b)		If the Purchase Price is so deposited into a special account at the branch of the Company’s bankers in the name of the Vendor, then from and after the date of such deposit, and even though the certificates evidencing the Shares held by the Vendor have not been delivered to the purchaser, the purchase of such Shares shall be deemed to have been fully completed and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, in and to such Shares shall be conclusively deemed to have been transferred and assigned to and become vested in the purchaser and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, of the Vendor or of any transferee, assignee or any other Person having any interest, legal or equitable, therein or thereto, whether as a shareholder or creditor of the Company or otherwise, shall cease; provided, however, that the Vendor shall be entitled to receive the Purchase Price so deposited, without interest.
	(c)		The Vendor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the corporate secretary of each purchaser as the Vendor’s true and lawful attorney–in–fact and agent for, in the name and of and on behalf of, the Vendor to execute and deliver in the name of the Vendor, in the event that the Vendor defaults in signing, all such documents or instruments as may be necessary to transfer and assign the Shares, or any part thereof, to the purchaser, or its nominee or nominees, on the books of the Company. The Vendor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm all that any purchaser may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the provisions hereof.
	(d)		The Vendor hereby irrevocably consents to any transfer of the Shares or any part thereof made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.04(4).
	(e)		The Vendor shall be entitled to receive the Purchase Price deposited with the bankers of the Company upon delivery to the purchaser of certificates evidencing the shares so purchased duly endorsed in blank for transfer with signatures guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank or trust company together with any other documents required to be delivered hereunder which have not been previously delivered.

8.05 Consents

The parties acknowledge that any transfer of Shares, including upon the completion of any Sale Transaction, shall be subject, in any event, to the receipt of all Regulatory Approvals required for the transfer of Shares contemplated thereby and, for the purpose of obtaining such Regulatory Approvals or other such approvals, permits and consents, the Sale Closing Date provided for elsewhere in this Agreement may be extended for such reasonable time as may be required and the parties shall cooperate fully in securing same. Accordingly, the parties agree that any purchase and sale of Shares hereunder shall be completed, if Regulatory Approval is required, on the later of the Sale Closing Date provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and ten Business Days after the date on which Regulatory Approval is obtained, but in any event, no later than the later of (a) 180 days after the Sale Closing Date provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and

(b) the date of the final determination of an application for such Regulatory Approval where such application has been filed prior to the expiry of such period of 180 days.

8.06 Time and Place of Closing

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties to a Sale Transaction, the closing of the Sale Transaction shall take place at the registered office of the Company at 11:00 a.m. on the Sale Closing Date.

8.07 No Joint and Several Liability

Nothing in this Agreement shall make any purchaser jointly and severally liable for the obligations of any other purchaser.

8.08 Designee Purchases

If a Shareholder is given the right or opportunity to purchase Shares under this Agreement but is prohibited from doing so by Applicable Law (such as, by way of example and not limitation, limitations on foreign ownership of telecommunications companies), such Shareholder may select a designee which is a Permitted Purchaser, which designee shall be entitled to exercise the right or opportunity to purchase the Shares in such Shareholder’s stead to the extent that such Shareholder is prohibited from doing so itself. Each such designee shall execute an acknowledgement of the terms of this Agreement substantially in the form of Schedule H and shall thereafter have the rights and obligations hereunder as a Shareholder. In exercising its rights under this Section 8.08, each Shareholder shall, to the extent practicable, minimize the number of its designees.
