B. | The Contractor shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure an orderly and efficient transition of the GSPS Handset Development Programme from EMS to the Contractor. |
C. | The Contractor shall attend the transition workshops in Adelaide and Ottawa scheduled for the week commencing 26 January 2009 to review and evaluate the EMS Transferable Work, |
D. | The Contractor shall (and shall procure that its Personnel) provide all such assistance and cooperation, take all such action and deploy such resources which Inmarsat may reasonably deem necessary for an orderly and efficient transition of the GSPS Handset Development Programme to the Contractor. |
E. | Inmarsat shall use its reasonable endeavours (and shall procure that EMS uses its reasonable endeavours) to deliver the EMS Transferable Work to the Contractor on or before 28 February 2009. The Contractor acknowledges that the EMS Transferable Work shall be delivered “as is” and Inmarsat hereby excludes in relation to such EMS Transferable Work all representations (unless fraudulent), warranties and conditions and other contractual terms howsoever arising (whether by statute, common law or otherwise) to the maximum extent permitted by law. |
F. | Save only as provided in Article 37 G, the Parties agree and acknowledge that the Contractor shall be free to utilise, modify or discard the EMS Transferable Work as it sees fit to perform its obligations under this Contract. |
G. | Without prejudice to Article 37 F, the Contractor shall be obliged to accept, as soon as reasonably practicable, an assignment or sub-licence of the rights under the Third Party IPR Licences unless in relation to any particular Third Party IPR Licence it is properly adjudged either that (a) the proposed assignment or sub-licence grant will not suffice for the Contractor to satisfy its licensing obligations under Article 11 in relation to that item of EMS Transferable IPR; or (b) the assignment or sub-licence of the rights under such Third Party IPR Licence would have a material adverse effect on the GSPS Handset Development Programme (a “Repudiated Licence”). Subject to the Contractor obtaining Inmarsat’s prior approval and the Contractor agreeing to use all reasonable efforts to secure the most economic terms, Inmarsat agrees to bear the third party licensor’s fee for obtaining rights to the relevant item of EMS Transferable IPR the subject of such Repudiated Licence on terms which will avoid such impact as described at sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) above. The Parties hereby agree, in the event that the Contractor has not been granted sufficient rights of use in the Mediatek Licence to develop the Core Module and the UT Handset in accordance with its contractual obligations by 28 February 2009, the performance schedule shall be extended to place the Contractor in the position it would have been if such rights of use in the Mediatek Licence had been secured by 28 February 2009. |
H. | Inmarsat and the Contractor mutually undertake to use their best endeavours to enable the Contractor to promptly terminate the licences which it granted to EMS for rights of use of the “GSM/GPRS Protocol Stack” and “Application Framework” software in relation to the GSPS Handset Development Programme. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor agrees to license use of this software at no additional cost for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Contract including, without limitation, its licensing obligations on the terms set forth in Article 11. |

I. | Inmarsat shall procure that EMS assigns, sub-licenses or otherwise transfers its rights of use in the “Physical Layer” (as referenced in the SOW) and “GMR2+ Protocol Stack” software to the Contractor as soon as reasonably practicable, and not later than 28 February 2009. Inmarsat further agrees, in the event that the Contractor has not been granted sufficient rights of use in the aforesaid software to develop the Core Module and UT Handset in accordance with its contractual obligations by 28 February 2009, the performance schedule shall be extended to place the Contractor in the position it would have been if such rights of use in the software had been secured by 28 February 2009. |
J. | If the Parties do not succeed in making use of any EMS Transferable Work available to the Contractor by 28 February 2009, the Contractor shall use all reasonable endeavours to eliminate or mitigate the consequences of the delay. |
K. | For the avoidance of doubt, the Contractor is responsible for and shall bear the cost of obtaining rights of use in any other Intellectual Property Rights falling outside the scope of the Third Party IPR Licences which the Contractor requires to perform its obligations and ensure the Deliverables conform to the specifications in the PRSD and SOW. |
Article 38: | Further Royalties |
A. | If any royalties other than the Royalties specified in Annex I shall fall due on the use of rights which are to be assigned, sub-licensed or otherwise transferred to the Contractor under the Third Party IPR Licences (“Further Royalties”), the Contractor shall immediately notify and consult with Inmarsat, and shall not agree any Further Royalties with the third party owner of the rights without Inmarsat’s prior written consent. Any corresponding changes to Annex I shall be made by way of a Change Notice. |
No relaxation, forbearance, delay or indulgence by either Party in enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Contract or the granting of time by either Party to the other shall prejudice, affect or restrict the rights and powers of the said Party, nor shall any waiver by either Party of any breach of this Contract operate as a waiver of any subsequent or any continuing breach of this Contract.
Any agreed use of any Inmarsat trademarks and service marks shall be subject to signature of the standard form Inmarsat Trademark Licence Agreement.
Article 41: | Entire Agreement |
This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or existing correspondence, representations, proposals, negotiations, understandings, or agreements of the Parties, whether oral or written. The Parties also hereby acknowledge that there are no collateral contracts between them with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Contract may be signed in counterparts and each original counterpart shall be deemed binding on each Party collectively and individually. A person who is not a Party to this Contract has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Contract but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act or any right of a Party to this Contract to enforce any term of this Contract for and on behalf of such third party where applicable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have signed this Contract in duplicate.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
This document defines the requirements for the technical and industrial design, prototyping, testing, preproduction, and support for mass production of a User Terminal Core Module (UTCM) and User Terminal Handset (UTH) for the Inmarsat Global Satellite Phone Service (GSPS). It also includes requirements for warranty and maintenance of the UTCM and UTH.
B. Scope
The SOW is divided into four sections. Section I provides an introduction and program overview (this section). Section II describes the scope of work for the development of the User Terminal Handset and Core Module. Section III contains the management requirements applicable to this contract. Finally, section IV provides a description of the GMR-2+ Specifications Change Control Board (SCCB).
C. GSPS Program and UT Procurement Overview
The Global Satellite Phone Service provides handheld satellite communication services using the GMR-2+ air interface technology. GMR-2+ is a modern variant of the GMR-2 air interface (European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Geostationary Earth Orbit Mobile Radio Release 2) that has been optimised for use with the Inmarsat-4 satellites.
The GSPS User Terminal will provide access to both GMR-2+ satellite networks (“Satellite Mode”) and terrestrial GSM networks (“GSM Mode”). In the Satellite Mode, the User Terminal will communicate with the Network Control Centre/Gateway (NCC/GW) via an Inmarsat-4 satellite using L-band frequencies. The NCC/GW provides connectivity to the PSTN and PLMN.
This SOW defines the sequence of tasks and deliverables that must be performed in order to complete the development cycle of the UT. In particular, there are four prime deliverables with formal definitions as follows:
| • | | UT Core Module (UTCM)—This refers to a hardware module and supporting physical layer and protocol software of a GMR-2+ User Terminal. It is an integral component of the UT Handset. This SOW refers only to the pre-production prototypes of the UT Core Module. |
| • | | UT Core Module Reference Design—This refers to the set of complete and detailed specifications for the UT Core Module (circuit diagrams, documentation, software, firmware, interface definitions). The level of detail shall permit a third-party manufacturer to replicate the Core Module exactly and in its entirety and then integrate the Core Module into a UT Handset (or other type of commercial product) for the purposes of mass production. |
| • | | UT Handset—This refers to a mass-market consumer product (a handset) that will be sold to subscribers to the Inmarsat Global Satellite Phone Service. This SOW refers only to the pre-production prototypes of the UT Handset. |
| • | | UT Handset Reference Design—This refers to the set of complete and detailed specifications for the UT Handset The level of detail shall permit a third-party manufacturer to replicate the UT Handset exactly and in its entirety for the purposes of mass production. |

II. USER TERMINAL HANDSET (Continued)
1. GMR-2+ Specifications
The development of the GMR-2+ specifications is the responsibility of Lockheed Martin (as part of the GMR-2+ NCC/GW development contract with Inmarsat). The GMR-2+ specification have been evolving since the beginning of the GSPS programme and at the time of EDC, the current version of the specifications is Version 2.4.0, which will be made fully available to the Contractor at EDC.
The Contractor shall take an active role in the review and resolution of any identified issues (including but not limited to bugs) of the GMR-2+ specifications in order to ensure that the baseline Version (2.4.0) is suitable and sufficient for implementation in the UTCM/UTH. Representatives of the Contractor shall work closely with EMS Satcom and/or Lockheed Martin to try to understand the maturity of the specifications and to ensure that they are fit for purpose for the development work.
At the time of EDC there will be a comprehensive physical layer performance simulation and validation work available from EMS Satcom. The Contractor shall work together with EMS Satcom during a period no longer than 3 calendar months to ensure a swift transition of the work performed by EMS Satcom.
The parallel development and testing of the NCC/GW and UT may identify the need for further changes to the specifications beyond Version 2.4.0. In recognition of the specifications as a key interface control between the GMR-2+ UT and NCC/GW, and of the mutual impact of changes to the specifications, the Contractor shall be a participant of the GMR-2+ Specifications Change Control Board (SCCB) along with Lockheed Martin and Inmarsat.
The SCCB shall be responsible for approving changes to the GMR-2+ specifications beyond the baseline after evaluating the impact of those changes on this Contract and other related Contracts in progress.
The Standard Operating Procedures for the SCCB are defined in Section V.
2. DVSI Voice Codec Test Set (VCTS) & DVSI Voice Codec Diagnostic Software (VCDS)
Inmarsat shall provide to the Contractor a Voice Codec Test Set and its associated Voice Codec Diagnostic SW on loan for the duration of the programme. This test tool shall be used by the Contractor to test the compliance of the Voice Codec implementation with the specifications (see Section III.C.4).
DVSI’s Voice Codec Test Set (VCTS) is a real time data recorder/player used to verify that the implementation of Inmarsat’s voice codec in user terminals is correct.
The VCTS contains several interfaces for recording and playing speech and uses Ethernet as its control and channel data interface. The VCTS performs no analysis on the data it records. A PC program denominated Voice Codec Diagnostics Software (VCDS) is used in conjunction with the VCTS to analyse the data and determine whether the implementation under test passes or fails the test suite.
The VCDS is designed to test a voice codec implementation by extracting the parametric information corresponding to the Advanced Multi-Band Excitation (AMBE) speech model. The VCDS runs a suite of test tools that can be used to diagnose equipment containing the Inmarsat voice codec. The VCDS can run the test analysis on pre-recorded files or user terminals when in conjunction with the Voice Codec Test Set (VCTS).
Operation of the VCTS, the VCDS, the tests that are run, and the analysis performed for each test are described in the VCTS and VCDS manuals respectively.
3. GMR-2+ Network Emulator
Inmarsat shall provide a GMR-2+ Network Emulator to the Contractor for development and acceptance testing purposes. The Network Emulator shall be provided on as is basis at the time of EDC + 2 months.
At the time of EDC, the Network Emulator is installed at EMS Satcom’s facilities in Adelaide, South Australia. The Contractor shall allow Inmarsat a period of time of no less than 8 weeks for the complete hardware of the Network Emulator to be delivered to and re-installed at the Contractor’s chosen facility.

The Contractor shall provide all test instruments, test tools, facilities, manpower and services necessary to complete the test stages for which they are fully responsible. All stages of testing may be witnessed by Inmarsat representatives. They shall be given full access to the primary test facilities and have the right to observe testing while it is in progress.
2. Test Acceptance Criteria
The Contractor shall be responsible for tracking all problems identified during the testing until all items have been resolved. Any problem noted during the testing shall be classified into one of the following three categories:
Category 1:
| • | | A complete failure of a hardware, software, or firmware component making it inoperable. |
| • | | A complete mechanical failure that renders the UTH inoperable in the environmental conditions and operational scenarios defined in the PRSD. |
| • | | Loss of critical functionality, severe performance degradation or instability in operation/behaviour. |
| • | | Failure to detect report and/or recover from a failure that renders any part of the UT Handset inoperable. |
Category 2:
| • | | The problem relates to a contract requirement (i.e. incorrect) but is not critical to any component function. |
| • | | The problem occurs infrequently and can quickly be recovered by the user by following a remedial procedure. |
| • | | The problem is purely cosmetic (i.e. MMI layout, error message content) in nature and does not impact functionally. |
Category 3:
| • | | The problem is observed once but is not reproducible by repeating the test. |
| • | | The problem is isolated to the test procedure and not the UT Handset under test. |
At the conclusion of the testing, any remaining Category 1 problems shall prevent Inmarsat approving successful completion of the testing milestone. Any remaining Category 2 and Category 3 problems shall not prevent Inmarsat from approving successful completion of the testing milestone, provided that the Contractor
18
III. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS (Continued)
submits a satisfactory remedial action plan. In this case, Inmarsat must agree to the action plan before the milestone is deemed completed. Corrective action can be implemented at tested in a later test stage in order not to impact the overall schedule.
The completion of each testing milestone with no Category 1 problems and agreement on the remedial action and schedule for all Category 2 problems (if applicable) shall be a prerequisite to commencement later type approval and over-the-air demonstration testing.
The Contractor shall maintain formal configuration control over the testing such that it is possible to repeat the acceptance at a later date if necessary.
These acceptance criteria shall be applicable to all formal test campaigns detailed below.
3. Unit/Module Testing
The Contractor shall perform unit/module level hardware and software testing throughout the UT Handset development process as required by its own standard processes. The Contractor shall submit evidence of unit/component level testing (hardware, firmware, and software) to Inmarsat, on request.
As an integral part of the UTH, the UTCM shall undergo its own regime of development and integration testing performed by the Contractor.
4. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
The Contractor shall verify by demonstration that the UT Handset functional performance and operational requirements have been achieved, although external elements are represented by test equipment selected at the Contractor’s discretion or possibly by the Lockheed Martin Reference Test Bed. The Contractor shall design the Factory Acceptance Test procedures in order to meet this objective.
The FAT shall be divided in three distinct phases:
| (1) UTH | Factory Acceptance Test (Phase 1)—HFAT 1 |
Phase 1 of the HFAT campaign aims at demonstrating GMR 2+ compliance to ensure, as a minimum, full Satellite Mode voice call including supplementary services and SMS capabilities.
The UTCM/UTH available at this stage shall demonstrate basic power management operation to ensure optimum battery power consumption together with full POST (Power On Self Test) and Diagnostics capabilities for subsequent field testing by the Contractor, Inmarsat or a designated third party. The contractor shall also demonstrate conformance to acoustic decoupling requirements as per 3GPP TS 26.132 Version 7.1.0 (Release 7) (Also ETSI TS 126.132, V7.1.0, 2008-11).
HFAT 1 shall include a radiation test campaign that shall be performed in an anechoic chamber with and without “human” phantom in order to demonstrate actual antenna performance.
The UTH at this stage shall provide firmware upgrade facilities at engineering and user levels.
HFAT 1 shall have a duration of 2 weeks.
| (2) UTH | Factory Acceptance Test (Phase 2)—HFAT 2 |
The UT Handset FAT Phase 2 platform shall provide complete compliance with all requirements specified by the PRSD to support a full GSPS service launch.
Additionally, Phase 2 of the HFAT campaign aims at demonstrating full compliance with all the Operational Scenarios defined in the Operational Scenarios Specification, including (but not limited to) Satellite Mode operation (GMR 2+ voice, SMS, circuit switched data and fax), GSM Mode operation and Dual Mode operation.
HFAT 2 shall have a duration of 2 weeks.
| (3) UTCM | Factory Acceptance Test |
The UTCM FAT campaign comprises additional tests that validate the UTCM requirements that were not verified during the UTH FAT. These shall include, but not limited to, the following acceptance tests:
| i) | Maritime environment requirement (IEC 60945—vibration only). |
19
III. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS (Continued)
| ii) | Capability to provide 2 wire RJ 11 interface; and |
| iii) | Additional AT commands, which will have been mutually agreed between the Contractor and Inmarsat. |
The Contractor shall also be responsible to conduct acceptance tests with associated peripheral boards for the particular solution. For example, if the maritime environment requires additional interfaces via a daughter board, or otherwise, to incorporate either a higher specified oscillator or an external oscillator, the Contractor shall conduct the tests with the complete solution.
Inmarsat shall approve the FAT plan(s) and procedures. The Contractor shall hold a Test Readiness Review (TRR) with Inmarsat at least 5 days prior to the commencement of the testing.
Inmarsat representatives shall be involved in witnessing the Factory Acceptance Testing (at the Contractor’s main work site) and shall determine whether the UT Handset meets the requirements in this SOW and the PRSD. Inmarsat will nominate one member within the witnessing party to have final responsibility in this regard.
