Lease Services may also be fixed in relation to a Satellite or a spot-beam, however defined, or have varying degrees of movement over specified time periods to other Satellites or spot-beams. Lease Services may also include varying type of pre-emptions falling short of termination, such as reduction of power and/or bandwidth, or interruption of service during peak traffic periods, during eclipse periods or during such similar periods or such similar forms of sharing of the Company’s resources with other LSPs, Service Providers or End Users. Lease Services may operate in narrow spot, regional spot, global or such other beams that uses the Company’s Satellite resources, either within the territorial limits of a State or in a wider geographic area, however defined.
2.1 | The Company shall at all times endeavour to offer Lease Services in a manner to ensure efficient utilization of its available Satellite, spectrum and network resources and appropriate allocation of such Satellite, spectrum and network resource among users. Notwithstanding the foregoing nothing in this Policy shall oblige the Company to offer or withdraw any Lease Service or to offer any Lease Service to a particular LSP. |
2.2 | Lease applications by an LSP shall at the Company’s discretion be approved by the Company. The Company shall, inter alia, not approve an application for Lease Services if to do so would, or might in its opinion, endanger the technical, operational or economic viability of the Company’s provision of Safety Services. |
2.3 | All assessments of applications for Lease Services through an LSP will be given equal consideration on a case-by-case basis but the approval of a lease application shall be at the Company’s discretion. |

| (b) | the projected requirements of such End User. |
2.5 | Where the potential customer withdraws its application for Lease Services in whole or in part, then the applicant shall promptly notify the Company and the application shall be cancelled in accordance with this Policy, or, if executed, the Lease Contract. |
2.6 | All lease applications shall be submitted to the Company by the LSP using the Company’s standard form of application for Lease Services, which shall be updated by the Company from time to time. |
2.7 | Words in the singular include the plural and vice versa where the context requires. |

5.3 | Lease Services in the narrow spot beams of the Inmarsat-4 Satellites may include variable elements such as dynamic channel allocation to allow for geographic and channel loading flexibility.

5.4 | Subject to paragraph 5.1, it shall be a requirement for mobile earth stations using Lease Services to conform to a Company standard and/or at the Company’s discretion for terminals to conform to a national standard or an internationally recognized standard. |

5.6 | The LSP may nominate an entity to act on its behalf for the purposes of billing and any associated or related matters, provided always that it shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company of such nomination including all relevant identification details of the nominated entity. Where the LSP has nominated such an entity, the LSP shall remain liable for payment of the amounts due under the Lease Contract irrespective of whether the LSP or the billing entity is named on the invoice. Where the LSP has nominated such an entity, the Company shall be entitled to rely on any instructions, decisions or communications from such nominated entity as if they had been made by the LSP. |
Failure to Pay
5.7 | If any payment required under this Lease Contract has not been received by the Company by the payment due date, the Company may serve a written demand for payment. If the payment to which such written demand refers remains outstanding for thirty (30) days following receipt of such written demand, the Company may suspend the provision of any Lease Services under such Lease Contract or under any other Lease Contract with the LSP. In the case where payment remains outstanding for more than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Company becomes entitled to suspend the provision of any Lease Services as aforesaid the Company shall have the right to terminate such Lease Contract and each other Lease Contract it has with the LSP forthwith without further notice to the LSP. |
6.1 | The LSP shall be liable for all taxes, levies, duties, costs, charges, withholdings, deductions or any charges of equivalent effect imposed on, or in respect of, the Lease Services by any authority having the power to impose such taxes (whether or not the taxes described therein are collected by withholding or otherwise). |
6.2 | The Company shall remain responsible for any income tax imposed on its profits or net income by taxation authorities in the United Kingdom or any other territory as a result of the Company maintaining a permanent establishment in that territory. In the event that the Company is responsible for an income tax in accordance with this Clause and the LSP may be required to withhold and remit to a taxation authority by deduction or otherwise, on or in respect of any amount to be paid by the LSP to the Company under the Lease Contract as an instalment or other payment of the Company’s income tax liability, such amount withheld and remitted will be considered paid to the Company by the LSP. The LSP will provide reasonable assistance to the Company in its discussions with the relevant taxation authorities to minimize the amount of such withholdings or deductions including the provision of tax certificates to determine the amount of tax withheld. |

6.3 | In the event that any tax, duty, impost, levy or like charge becomes payable in any territory in accordance with Clause 6.1 (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taxes described in Clause 6.2), either by deduction or otherwise, on or in respect of any amount to be paid by the LSP to the Company, or which the LSP may be required to withhold in respect of any amount due to the Company under this Lease Contract, such tax, duty, impost, levy or like charge shall be for the account of the LSP and the LSP shall pay to the Company such an amount as to yield to the Company a net amount equal to the amount that but for such tax, levy, impost or charge would have been received by the Company. The Company will provide, insofar as it is able, reasonable assistance to the LSP to minimize the amount of such withholdings or deductions, including providing any relevant certification of its status as a non-resident of a jurisdiction or of its entitlement to benefits under a treaty. |
6.4 | If, and to the extent that, the LSP pays a tax in accordance with Clause 6.3 and the Company receives and retains the benefit of a refund of a tax or credit against income tax imposed on its profits (whether in the United Kingdom or any other territory in which the Company maintains a permanent establishment) or other tax liability which is attributable to the tax paid by the LSP (a “Tax Credit”), then the Company shall reimburse such amount to the LSP or, at the LSP’s option, the LSP may deduct the applicable amount from amounts payable to the Company hereunder, provided the Company is satisfied with the nature, amount and form of any such reimbursement, including the provision of tax certificates to determine the amount of tax withheld. The Company shall be deemed to have received and retained the benefit of a Tax Credit when such a claim for such credit has been agreed and accepted by the relevant tax authority. A Tax Credit shall be deemed to arise to the extent that the Company’s current year tax payments are lower than they would have been without the benefit of said Tax Credit. Use of Tax Credits shall be determined under a first-in, first-out basis. |
6.5 | The LSP may identify a Tax Credit for which the Company may be eligible and assist the Company in claiming such Tax Credit. In the event that the LSP claims a reimbursement hereunder, the LSP shall identify any such Tax Credit to the Company and provide all necessary information and assistance to the Company to claim such Tax Credit. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to claim Tax Credits so identified, save that the Company is under no obligation to claim a Tax Credit or pursue a Tax Credit that has been denied by tax authorities beyond the normal representations of the Company to such tax authorities. The Company will assist the LSP in further pursuit of denied Tax Credits provided the LSP bears all costs of external advice or representations to the tax authorities or other relevant levels of appeal. |
6.6 | In the event of an audit or other enquiry by any relevant tax authority related to taxes or Tax Credits related to the Services provided by the LSP, the parties shall provide such information to |
| | | | |
INMARSAT PROPRIETARY | | 9 | | © Inmarsat Global Limited 2009 |
| | |
 | | Lease Services Provider Agreement Annex 2B |
| each other as may reasonably be regarded as necessary to comply with such audit, subject only to limitations imposed by law, confidentiality agreements with third parties or where the information is deemed to be commercially sensitive. |
7 | LES Access Authorization |
7.1 | For Lease Services that require the use of a LES, the LSP shall only provide such Lease Services through the LES(s) as stated in the Specific Service Parameters and in Attachments 1 and 2 hereto. The relevant LES(s) or any agreed substitute(s), shall not be used in connection with the Lease Services unless and until it has been authorized by the Company in accordance with Attachments 1 and 2 hereto. The use by the LSP of the relevant LES in connection with the Lease Services shall be governed by the specifications set out in Attachment 3 hereto. Early limited access to the Satellite capacity for testing, alignment and pre-operational checks may be permitted at the Company’s discretion. |
7.2 | Leases provided through the Company’s SAS may be provided with a period of access to the whole or part of the leased capacity for testing, alignment and pre-operational checks at the Company’s discretion and shall be subject to Attachments 1 through 3 as modified from time to time as appropriate for such Lease Services. |
8 | UT, MES and AES Type Approval and Commissioning Procedures |
8.1 | The LSP shall procure that no UT, MES, AES or SIM shall utilise the Lease Services unless and until: |
| (a) | the UT, MES, AES or SIM is of a type which complies with the requirements of Attachments 1 through 3. Compliance for each type shall be verified by the LSP or the UT, MES, AES or SIM manufacturer on the LSP’s behalf, and the LSP shall, or shall procure, that all necessary certification is provided to the Company; and |
| (b) | the owner and operator of the UT, MES, AES or SIM have agreed to the terms and conditions set out in Attachment 1. |
8.2 | Unless otherwise separately authorised by the Company in writing, compliance with the requirements of this Clause shall not permit a UT, MES, AES or SIM to have access to the Company Satellite, spectrum and network resources on any basis other than by utilising the Lease Services. |
9 | Responsibility for LES, UT, MES, AES and SIM Compliance |
9.1 | The LSP shall be responsible to the Company for: |
| (a) | compliance by any LES using the Lease Services with the terms and conditions set out in Attachments 1 through 3, as applicable, hereto; and |

INMARSAT PROPRIETARY | | 10 | | © Inmarsat Global Limited 2009 |
| | |
 | | Lease Services Provider Agreement Annex 2B |
| (b) | imposing on any UT, MES, AES or SIM using the Lease Service the terms and conditions set out in Attachment 1 hereto and the Specific Service Parameters. The Company and the LSP agree that non-compliance with the provisions of Attachment 1 by a UT, MES, AES or SIM using the Lease Services permits the Company to require the LSP to subject such UT, MES, AES or SIM to sanctions, including but not limited to suspension or termination of the Lease Services. |
10 | Access to Lease Services |
The LSP shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no UT, MES, AES or SIM owner or operator is, for reasons only of nationality, refused permission to utilise the Lease Services, or is subjected to less favourable terms and conditions than other users, provided that it shall not be a breach of this provision if the LSP is restricted by the Lease Contract to supplying a particular country or region and its inhabitants.
11 | Space Segment Management |
11.1 | The Company shall have the right at any time and for any reason to relocate, reposition or replace any Satellite through which the Lease Services are made available. The Company shall give the LSP reasonable prior written notice, not less than forty five (45) days, of any such relocation, repositioning or replacement wherever practical, provided always that nothing in this Clause 11 shall preclude the Company from relocating, repositioning or replacing such Satellites with lesser notice where in the Company’s view such action is necessary for operational or commercial reasons. |
11.2 | In case of a failure of any of the Satellites through which the Lease Services are made available, there is no obligation for the Company to restore the Lease Services on an alternative Satellite and the Company shall have no liability in respect of the same. |
11.3 | In case of a failure of any of the Satellites the LSP acknowledges and agrees that it may be necessary to transfer Standard Services onto one or more of the Satellites carrying the Lease Services. In this event the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to maintain a partial Lease Service within the resources that are available, taking due account of the Lease Policy. |
12 | Pre-emption of Lease Service by the Company |
The Company shall have the right at any time after consultation with the LSP to modify, restrict or suspend the availability of the Lease Services to the extent which the Company may in good

faith decide is necessary in order to ensure the availability of sufficient Satellite, spectrum and network resources for the Standard Services or other Lease Services. The Company shall use reasonable endeavours to give the LSP not less than **** notice of its intention to exercise its rights under this Clause unless a shorter notice period is required by virtue of an Operational Emergency or other technical failure.
The Specific Service Parameters may contain provisions for restoration on another of the Company’s Satellites in the event that the Lease Services have to be suspended on any of the Company’s Satellites due to an Operational Emergency or other technical failure. In such circumstances the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to assign alternative capacity to the extent practicable to meet the LSP’s overall operational requirements, having regard to the Lease Policy.
14 | Termination by the Company on Operational Grounds |
14.1 | Where the Company decides, in good faith, that, due to a technical issue, all or part of the Lease Services ceased to be available and such Lease Services will not be restored within **** thereafter, the Company may, after consulting with the LSP, terminate the Lease Contract forthwith by notice in writing to the LSP. |
14.2 | Where the Company decides that part of the Lease Services have ceased to be available it may, after consulting with the LSP, give notice of a corresponding reduction in the amount of Satellite, spectrum and network resources to be made available under the Lease Contract and the Specific Service Parameters shall be amended accordingly. |
14.3 | Without prejudice to the generality of Clauses 14.1 and 14.2 above, in the event of a sudden and substantial loss of capacity in any of the Company’s Satellite, spectrum and network resources other than the one through which the Lease Services are made available, the Company may decide that the Lease Services have ceased to be available and terminate the Lease Contract (or any Lease Service provided hereunder). In deciding whether to terminate the Lease Contract (or any Lease Service provided hereunder) under this Clause, the Company shall consider any preference expressed to it by the LSP in writing for continuing with the Lease Services notwithstanding any suspension or degradation of the Lease Services. Any action on the part of the Company in accordance with this Clause shall not in any circumstances give rise to any liability on the Company. |
15.1 | Either Party may terminate the Lease Contract in accordance with the provisions set out in Clause 10.3 of the LSPA. |

16.1 | At any time after the LSP’s reservation has become a guaranteed reservation, but before the Start Date, the LSP may terminate the Lease Contract or any Lease Service(s) hereunder in its absolute discretion by the provision of fourteen (14) days notice in writing to the Company in which event the LSP shall immediately become liable to pay to the Company such percentage of the total charges due over the whole period of the Lease Service as specified in the Specific Service Parameters for termination liability in such circumstances and in default thereof, such percentage as specified in the Lease Policy. |
16.2 | At any time after the Start Date, the LSP may, upon ninety (90) days notice in writing to the Company terminate the Lease Contract or any Lease Service(s) hereunder, in its absolute discretion, in which event the LSP shall be liable to pay to the Company all charges falling due up to and including the date of termination, together with such percentage of the total charges due over the whole period of the Lease Service as specified in the Specific Service Parameters for termination in such circumstances and in default thereof, such percentage as specified in the Lease Policy. |
