B.		Finalization of the Satellite Configuration
		As of EDC, the Satellite configuration has not been finally defined, but the Parties agree it will consist of nine (9) Canadian service beams with three 2 GHz fixed gateway locations (provided that in the event Purchaser and CondoSat Assocaite share a gateway under section 2.8 of the CondoSat Agreement, then there shall only be two 2 Ghz gateways) (“Canadian Beams”), sixty (60) U.S. service beams with thirteen 2 Ghz fixed gateway locations and three 1.5 Ghz fixed gateway locations (“U.S. Beams”) (all of the foregoing as set forth in Exhibit K, Default Configuration) plus, potentially, three (3) additional service beams and one (1) associated gateway (“Additional Beams”), the location of such Additional Beams to be established as set forth below. Through February 3, 2008 (the “Configuration Period”), the Parties will work together to complete an optimal Satellite configuration for Purchaser (the “Configuration Process”), consisting of the following:

(i)

The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts during the Configuration Period to develop an optimal configuration of the U.S. Beams, the Canadian Beams and Additional Beams (together, the “Satellite Beams”) for Purchaser. The objectives in developing the optimal Satellite configuration for Purchaser shall, among other things, include: (1) calculated [***] (as calculated using the [***] defined in Article 4.6) equal to or higher than [***] (not including the Canadian Beams); (2) user beams located in coverage areas which are, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, desirable for its intended services; (3) gateway locations with reasonable economical access to sufficient existing fiber backhaul; (4) limited overlap between the user beams; (5) complete inter-beam coverage for user beams (no “[***] Coverage” as exemplified in Attachment A hererto, unless otherwise approved by Purchaser); and (6) optimal number of gateways for Purchaser’s business plan, but not less than the number of gateways reflected in Exhibit K, Default Configuration (items (1) through (6) immediately above the “Selection Criteria”). The Parties shall at a minimum complete the following actions in an effort to develop a final Satellite configuration for Purchaser:

	a.		On or before 4, January 2008, Contractor will submit to Purchaser the antenna performance files, beam laydown (including coverage map, antenna-beam mapping, and frequencies assigned to each beam) and gateway location information (“[***]”) defined in Annex B to Exhibit B, Satellite Performance Specification, separately for; (i) the Canadian Beams; (ii) the U.S. Beams; and (iii) multiple configurations of the Additional Beams (consistent with the criteria below). In the event Contractor proposes a Satellite configuration to Purchaser that leads to any [***] (“[***] Coverage”), Purchaser will notify Contractor (and provide Contractor with reasonable guidance on rectifying such [***] Coverage), and Contractor will adjust the proposed Satellite configuration in order to [***] as part of the process described below (even if removing such [***] reduces Satellite [***]).
	b.		On or before 8 January 2008, Purchaser will provide Contractor with initial comments and feedback on Contractor’s proposed configuration for the Satellite Beams (including alternative candidate locations in the US and/or Mexico for the Additional Beams).
	c.		On or before 11 January 2008, Purchaser shall identify up to three (3) alternative Satellite configurations for the Additional Beams to be considered by Purchaser and Contractor for the final Satellite configuration.

•

The locations to be considered by the Purchaser for location of the user beams for the Additional Beams are, in order of priority:

	°		Major metropolitan areas of the central U.S. not covered by the U.S. Beams, including locations in Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, UT, and Phoenix/Tucson AZ;
	°		Mexico; and
	°		overlay on three (3) of the sixty (60) U.S. service beams.

d.

On or before 18 January 2008, Contractor shall provide [***] for two (2) of the three (3) alternative configurations identified by Purchaser

for the Additional Beams and within seven (7) days thereafter shall provide [***] for the final alternative configuration identified by Purchaser for the Additional Beams as provided above, for assessment of [***] (using the [***]).

	e.		On or before 25 January 2008, Purchaser and Contractor will determine if any further improvements to the proposed Satellite configurations should be considered, and, provided that Contractor is reasonably able to provide updated [***] on such improvements by 31 January 2007, Contractor will update the [***] accordingly.
	f.		On 3 February 2008, Purchaser shall select the final Satellite configuration (“Final Configuration”) from among the above proposed Satellite configurations (including Exhibit K, Default Configuration) in accordance with the following principles:

•

In the event Purchaser selects a Satellite configuration consisting of only the U.S. Beams and the Canadian Beams, Purchaser shall select the Satellite configuration based on the Selection Criteria and, which in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment optimizes its business prospects, while also considering in good faith the configuration that maximizes the calculated [***] (as calculated using the [***] defined in Article 4.6). In the event that Purchaser chooses a configuration that does not provide the maximum calculated [***] as provided above, Purchaser shall provide Contractor with the rationale therefor, which rationale shall be consistent with the optimization of Purchaser’s business prospects and the Selection Criteria. For the purpose of clarification, in the event that Purchaser reasonably determines that the benefits associated with the Additional Beams does not exceed the costs associated with the Additional Beams, Purchaser may elect to reject the Additional Beams and select the Satellite configuration in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, and shall provide Contractor with the rationale therefor.

	•		In the event Purchaser selects a Satellite configuration consisting of the U.S. Beams, the Canadian Beams and Additional Beams, Purchaser shall select the Satellite configuration which, in its reasonable judgment, optimizes its business prospects, while also considering in good faith the configuration that maximizes the calculated [***] (as calculated using the [***] defined in Article 4.6).
	•		In the case of the Canadian Beams, Purchaser shall elect the coverage locations which, in its reasonable judgment, optimizes the Canadian capacity/coverage area.

	(ii)		In the event, for any reason, Contractor has not provided the [***] to Purchaser on or prior to the dates set forth above, except for delays excused due to Force Majeure events or Purchaser-caused delays, then Purchaser shall be entitled to select the Exhibit K Default Configuration consisting of only the U.S. Beams and the Canadian Beams (i.e., without the Additional Beams).
	(iii)		Contractor acknowledges that, as part of Purchaser’s finalization of the Satellite configuration, Purchaser will need to offset the station-keeping box from the 115.0 WL position (between 114.7 and 115.3 WL) (the “Final Orbit Location”) so that it will not overlap the station-keeping box of any other satellite in accordance with FCC regulations. No later than twenty-one (21) days after EDC, Purchaser will provide the Final Orbit Location. For purposes of clarification, the [***] of the Final Configuration will be calculated pursuant to Article 4.6 assuming use of the 115.0 WL position, and the [***] calculated pursuant to Article 22.2.1 assuming use of the Final Orbit Location.
	(iv)		Upon Purchaser selection of the Final Configuration: (1) the [***] of the Final Configuration will be calculated (using the [***]) and the Firm Fixed Price shall be subject to adjustment, up or down, pursuant to Article 4.6; and (2) Exhibit B, Satellite Performance Specification, will be updated accordingly, including the following:

ARTICLE 16 — CHANGES

16.1 Change Orders

Purchaser may, at any time between the EDC and the completion of this Contract, direct a change within the general scope of this Contract (which includes the Loral Space Payload) in drawings, designs, specifications, method of shipment or packing, quantities of items to be furnished, place of Delivery, postpone Delivery under a stop-work order (but not more than, in the cumulative, eighteen (18) months), require additional Work, or direct the omission of Work. In the event Purchaser directs a change, Contractor shall: (a) immediately proceed with the Work as changed; and (b) within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s direction, submit to Purchaser a written proposal of the effect of such a change on the Firm Fixed Price, specification, payment plan, time required for performance and/or other affected terms and conditions, including any effect to the [***] (the “Proposal”).

Prior to directing such change, Purchaser may issue a request to Contractor for a Proposal. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request for the Proposal, Contractor shall provide Purchaser with the Proposal.

If any change directed by Purchaser causes an increase or decrease in costs of, or the time required for, the performance of this Contract, and/or other terms and conditions, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the Firm Fixed Price, Delivery schedule, and/or other terms and conditions, this Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Firm Fixed Price adjustments shall account only for the net impact on the Actual Costs incurred by Contractor as a result of the change including a reasonable profit thereon not to exceed [***] percent ([***]%). Such Actual Costs shall be determined in accordance with Contractor’s standard accounting practices, and, if requested by Purchaser, Contractor will provide reasonably detailed back-up data to support its claim for equitable adjustment. If the cost of supplies or materials made obsolete or excess as a result of a change is included in Contractor’s claim for adjustment, Purchaser shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such supplies or materials. If Purchaser directs the omission of Work and, as a result, it causes an increase in the cost of the remaining Work to be performed hereunder, such increase in cost shall constitute an allowable element of Contractor’s claim for equitable adjustment.

(“Force Majeure”). For an event to qualify for Force Majeure relief hereunder: (1) the event must be beyond the control and without fault or negligence of a Party or its subcontractors hereunder; (2) the resulting delay cannot be circumvented by Reasonable Efforts to establish work-around plans, payment of expedited fees, alternate sources, or other means; and (3) Contractor must provide Purchaser with written notice thereof as soon as possible but in no event later than within ten (10) Business Days after Contractor’s performance hereunder is impacted by such an event. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, any failure by a Subcontractor to meet its obligations to Contractor, or any delay due to labor shortages, defective tooling, transportation difficulties, equipment failure or breakdowns, lockouts, or inability to obtain materials shall not constitute a Force Majeure event (except where such circumstance is itself caused by a Force Majeure event), and shall not relieve Contractor from meeting any of its obligations under this Contract. Contractor shall use Reasonable Efforts to minimize the effect of any Force Majeure event. In the event Contractor claims a Force Majeure event, Contractor’s written notice called for above shall include a detailed description of the portion of the Work known to be affected by such delay, as well as a proposed work-around plan reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

In the event of a Force Majeure event, the Delivery requirement shall be extended for such period as is supported by the evidence provided; provided, however, the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall in no event entitle Contractor to an increase in the price for the Work. Any adjustment of time appropriate under this Article shall be formalized promptly by the execution of a mutually acceptable amendment to this Contract.

17.2		Termination for Force Majeure
		Purchaser may, upon written notice to Contractor, terminate this Contract immediately in whole or in part if and when the cumulative aggregate of Force Majeure events exceeds twelve (12) months.

Purchaser shall pay such invoice, to the extent undisputed by Purchaser, within sixty (60) days after receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may dispute the amount of such invoice by giving Contractor notice of such dispute within sixty (60) days after receipt of the invoice. Contractor’s invoice shall be in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) for each Milestone accepted, the respective Milestone payment; and (ii) for each Milestone not accepted, a percentage of the Milestone payment, where such percentage equals the percentage of the Milestone completed, both less the sum of all amounts received by Contractor under this Contract. Concurrently with such payment, Contractor shall promptly deliver in the manner and to the extent directed by Purchaser all completed Work and work-in-progress to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee (including all applicable licenses and warranties). Alternatively, Purchaser may request Contractor to purchase any such Work or work-in-progress that Contractor believes can be re-used or use Reasonable Efforts to sell any such items, in which case Contractor shall remit any sales proceeds to Purchaser, less, where Contractor sells such items on behalf of Purchaser, a deduction for the Actual Costs of disposition (without mark-up, margin or administrative charges) reasonably incurred by Contractor for such efforts. Payment of the amount payable by Purchaser under this Article shall constitute a total discharge of Purchaser’s liabilities to Contractor under this Contract. If this Contract is terminated as provided in this Article, Contractor shall protect and preserve property in the possession

	21.1.1		Right to Terminate. Purchaser may terminate this Contract without cause, in whole or in part, upon giving Contractor written notice; provided, however, Purchaser may not terminate this Contract after Delivery of the Satellite in accordance with Article 3.2. Upon receipt of Purchaser’s notice of termination for convenience, Contractor shall: (i) stop the terminated Work under this Contract; (ii) place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services or facilities to the extent that they relate to the performance of the terminated Work; (iii) terminate orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of the terminated Work; and (iv) settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and subcontracts.
	21.1.2		Termination Liability. If Purchaser terminates Work pursuant to this Article 21, Contractor shall be entitled to the Actual Costs reasonably incurred by Contractor with respect to: (a) terminated Work performed hereunder, plus a reasonable profit not to exceed [***] percent on such Actual Costs; and (b) Actual Costs of termination and settlement with all vendors and subcontractors (provided that Contractor shall undertake Reasonable Efforts to minimize any such costs). In the event of termination by the Purchaser of any of the Work, it is agreed that the termination charges shall be negotiated pursuant to Article 21.1.3 below, but shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the Firm Fixed Price; or (ii) the termination liability amount (in the “ViaSat TL” column) corresponding to the amount of the most recently completed Milestone on Exhibit E, Payment Plan and Termination Liability Schedule, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) less the amount of any payments made by Purchaser to Contractor pursuant to this Contract. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a termination in part as provided above, if such termination causes an increase in the Actual Costs of performing the remaining non-terminated Work, Contractor shall be entitled to a corresponding increase (including a [***] percent profit) in the price of the non-terminated Work.
	21.1.3.		Determination of Termination Liability. Contractor shall submit a proposal to

      

		SS/L-TP20701 ViaSat Contract

Use or disclosure of the data and information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page.

Purchaser within sixty (60) days after the effectiveness of the termination, which proposal shall specify the amount due to Contractor from Purchaser pursuant to this Article (the “Final Statement”). The Final Statement shall be a complete statement of all amounts that are due to Contractor hereunder as of the termination date for the terminated Work. In the event that Purchaser is not in agreement with the Final Statement, the Parties shall negotiate an agreed upon Final Statement. After agreeing on the Final Statement, Contractor shall invoice Purchaser and Purchaser shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice.

21.2		Disposition of Work
		At the time of payment by Purchaser to Contractor of the termination liability amounts due under this Article, subject to applicable U.S. Government export laws and license conditions, Purchaser may direct Contractor to transfer to Purchaser, in the manner and to the extent directed by Purchaser, title to and risk of loss and possession of any items comprising the Work terminated (including all Work-in-progress, parts and materials, all inventories, licenses, and associated warranties but not including any portion of the Work to which Contractor would not have otherwise been obligated to transfer title hereunder had the Contract been completed). Contractor shall, upon direction of Purchaser, protect and preserve property at Purchaser’s expense in the possession of Contractor or its Subcontractors in which Purchaser has an interest and shall facilitate access to and possession by Purchaser of items comprising all or part of the Work terminated. Alternatively, Purchaser may request Contractor to make Reasonable Efforts to re-use or sell such items and, in the case of Work Contractor can re-use, Contractor shall remit the mutually agreed cost of all such items to Purchaser, and, in the case of sold items, remit any sales proceeds to Purchaser less a deduction for Actual Costs of disposition reasonably incurred.

ARTICLE 22 — LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

22.1		Liquidated Damages – Schedule/Delivery
		The Parties acknowledge and agree that failure to complete the Milestones listed below in this Article by the corresponding indicated dates may cause substantial financial loss to Purchaser (the “Key Milestone Dates”). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the following liquidated damages represent a genuine and reasonable estimate of all losses that would be suffered by Purchaser by reason of any such delay (which losses would be difficult or impossible to calculate with certainty) in meeting the Key Milestone Dates.
		For the purposes of this Article only, the Satellite will not be deemed “Delivered” if the Satellite is placed into Ground Storage for reasons primarily due to the fault of Contractor. In such case, the time period of such Ground Storage will be included for purposes of calculation of liquidated damages for delay under this Article 22; provided that Contractor shall not be liable for, or assessed any liquidated damages for, any period of such Ground Storage associated with any failure by Purchaser to schedule with the Launch Agency the next available Launch opportunity that is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and which is consistent with the Satellite’s availability for Launch. If, as of the Satellite Delivery dates specified in Article 3.1 (as such date may be extended as provided in this Contract), the Launch Vehicle is unavailable for reasons that are not attributable to Contractor, or if the Satellite is delivered for purposes of Ground Storage for reasons that are not primarily due to the fault of Contractor, such that Purchaser is not materially harmed or prejudiced by a delay in Satellite Delivery, then the assessment of liquidated damages for failure to meet Key Milestone 4 (Satellite Delivery) shall be suspended/forgiven on a day-to day basis commensurate with the period of unavailability of the Launch Vehicle or storage after the Satellite Delivery date set forth in Article 3.1, as the case may be, and no payment by Contractor will be required for such period.
		In the event Contractor fails to meet the Key Milestones Dates set forth below, as such Dates may be adjusted in accordance with this Contract, Contractor shall pay Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, up to a cumulative maximum of [***] U.S. dollars (U.S. $[***]), the following incremental amounts with the damages period

Payment of such amounts, or transfer of Work as set forth in Article 23.1.3, shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a termination for default.

	23.1.3		Contractor’s Reimbursement for Terminated Work. In the event Purchaser terminates the Contract pursuant to this Article 23.1, Purchaser shall have the option to obtain title to the Deliverable Items provided for under this Contract or associated Work-in-progress (but not including Deliverable Data) or any other portion of the Work to which Contractor would not have otherwise been obligated to transfer title hereunder had the Contract been completed, including, if requested by Purchaser in writing (and subject to any approvals required by the associated Subcontractors and receipt by Contractor of associated reasonable releases and indemnifications in favor of Contractor), assignment of Subcontracts, subject to payment: (i) at the price set forth in this Contract for delivered items for which an itemized price is set forth herein and (ii) at the Actual Costs incurred by Contractor for (a) such items for which no itemized price is set forth herein and (b) partially completed items or services and Work-in-progress. This sum shall be offset by amounts paid by Purchaser and received by Contractor for Deliverable Items and Work-in-progress retained by Purchaser, and Contractor shall protect and preserve property in the possession of Contractor in which Purchaser has an interest. Purchaser shall pay amounts due hereunder no later than sixty (60) days after issuance of its written notice pursuant to Article 23.1.2. Upon settlement and payment of amounts due hereunder, Contractor, subject to applicable U.S. Government export control laws, shall promptly, at Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s plant, transfer title and risk of loss to Purchaser for the applicable Deliverable Items and Work-in-progress.
	23.1.4		Special Provision Limiting Purchaser’s Remedies. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to delays in Delivery shall be as specified in Article 22 and this Article 23.1.

23.1.6

Invalid Default Termination. If, after termination pursuant to this Article 23.1, it is finally determined pursuant to Article 25 or written agreement of Purchaser that Contractor was not in default under Article 23.1.1, or that the default was excusable under the Contract, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if the termination had occurred under Article 21.

23.2

Contractor Rights of Termination

	23.2.1		Right to Terminate. Contractor may terminate this Contract upon written notice to Purchaser if Purchaser fails to make any payment required under this Contract, and Purchaser shall fail to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from Contractor (or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by Contractor). For purposes of clarification, Contractor shall not be entitled to terminate this Contract for Purchaser’s failure to make payment hereunder to the extent Purchaser has disputed such payment in good faith pursuant to Article 5.6.
	23.2.2		Termination Liability. In the event of termination pursuant to this Article 23.2, Contractor shall be paid as if such termination were for convenience pursuant to Article 21. Further, if Purchaser’s failure to perform is a failure to pay Contractor invoiced amounts when due, Contractor shall be entitled to late payment interest pursuant to Article 5.3. Payment of the total amounts payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 23.2.2 shall constitute a total discharge of Purchaser’s liabilities to Contractor for termination pursuant to this Article 23.2.

Upon completion of all payments to Contractor in accordance with this Article 23.2, Purchaser may, subject to Article 7 hereof, require Contractor to transfer to Purchaser in the manner and to the extent directed by Purchaser, title to and possession of any items comprising all or any part of the Work terminated (including all Work-in-progress, but not including any Deliverable Data or any other portion of the Work to which Contractor would not have otherwise been obligated to transfer title hereunder had the Contract been completed) not used or disposed of by Contractor pursuant to the foregoing

		SS/L-TP20701 ViaSat Contract

			sentence. Contractor shall, upon direction of Purchaser, protect and preserve such items at Purchaser’s expense in the possession of Contractor or its Subcontractors and shall facilitate access to and possession by Purchaser of items comprising all or part of the Work terminated. Alternatively, Purchaser may request Contractor to undertake Reasonable Efforts to re-use or sell such items and, in the case of Work Contractor can re-use, remit the agreed-upon cost of such items to Purchaser, and, in the case of sold items, remit any sales proceeds to Purchaser less a deduction for Actual Costs of disposition reasonably incurred by Contractor for such efforts. Contractor shall, if requested by Purchaser in writing, assign to Purchaser or its designee such Subcontracts as requested by Purchaser (subject to any approvals required by the associated Subcontractors and receipt by Contractor of associated reasonable releases and indemnifications in favor of Contractor).
	23.2.4		Invalid Default Termination. If, after termination pursuant to this Article 23.2, it is finally determined pursuant to Article 25 or written agreement of Contractor that Purchaser was not in default under Article 23.2.1, Contractor shall be liable to Purchaser for direct damages resulting from such termination of this Contract (in no event exceeding amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Article 23.1, and subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Article 27).

ARTICLE 25 — DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute, claim, or controversy between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Contract (“Dispute”), including any Dispute with respect to the interpretation, performance, termination, or breach of this Contract or any provision thereof shall be resolved as provided in this Article 25.

25.1

Informal Dispute Resolution

Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve their Dispute informally, in a timely and cost-effective manner, as follows:

	A.		If, during the course of the Work, a Party believes it has a Dispute with the other Party, the disputing Party shall give written notice thereof, which notice will describe the Dispute and may recommend corrective action to be taken by the other Party. Contractor’s program manager shall promptly consult with Purchaser’s contract manager in an effort to reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute.
	B		In the event that agreement cannot be reached within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, either Party may request that the Dispute be escalated, and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to an executive level higher than that under Paragraph A above for resolution of the Dispute.
	C.		In the event agreement cannot be reached within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice, either Party may request that the Dispute be escalated, and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or equivalent of each Party for resolution of the Dispute.
	D.		In the event agreement cannot be reached as provided in Paragraphs A, B, or C above within a total of sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notice described in Paragraph A above either Party may proceed in accordance with Article 25.2.

25.2

Litigation

			If any Dispute arising between the Parties cannot be settled pursuant to Article 25.1 (or, if a Party makes a good faith determination that (i) a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other preliminary injunctive relief to enforce its rights or the other Party’s obligations under the provisions of this Contract is necessary or (ii) litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to creditors), either Party shall have the right to bring suit.
			Any suit brought shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the state of California, and the Parties hereby waive any objection to that venue and that court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over the case. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by the state and federal courts in the State of California concerning any Dispute between the Parties. If, for any reason, neither the state nor federal courts in California will exercise jurisdiction over the Dispute, then litigation as permitted herein may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America.
			If a dispute arises as to whether or not a Party has committed or acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, that issue alone shall be resolved by the court without a jury, and the court shall resolve such issue by applying the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law rules. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPUTE.
			Nothing in this Contract precludes a Party that prevails on any claim from initiating litigation in any appropriate forum to enter or enforce a judgment based on the court’s award on that claim.
			Pending final resolution of any dispute (including the informal dispute resolution process and litigation), Contractor shall, unless otherwise directed by Purchaser in writing, perform all its obligations under this Contract, provided that Purchaser continues to make undisputed payments as they come due. For purposes of clarification, Contractor shall not be entitled to stop work under this Contract for Purchaser’s failure to make payment hereunder to the extent Purchaser has disputed such payments in good faith pursuant to Article 5.6.
