4. Background | A. Google offers various products and services that use satellite imagery, including both consumer and enterprise versions of Google Maps and Google Earth.
B. Licensor is a licensor of satellite imagery, operating a large constellation of medium- and high-resolution satellites.
C. Google and Licensor desire to enter into a satellite imagery license agreement under which Google will license content covering Google’s specified areas of interest (“AOIs”) through at least three services:
(i) tasking services, where Licensor conducts a one-time collection of new imagery covering the AOIs specified in Google’s tasking orders;
(ii) systematic AOI collections, where Google will inform Licensor of Google’s desired AOIs and corresponding imagery refresh rates, and Licensor will collect and refresh the imagery of those AOIs under a Fee-based incentive structure that rewards expedited imagery collection and delivery; and
(iii) Licensor’s imagery archive. | |
5. “Effective Date” | (a) This Agreement’s Effective Date will be the “Closing Date” (if any) under, and as defined, in the Purchase Agreement by and among Google Inc., Google Ireland Holdings Unlimited Company, Terra Bella Technologies Inc., Planet Labs Inc., and certain other parties (the Purchase Agreement, together with its ancillary and related agreements (including the Intellectual Property License Agreement), will be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “M&A Agreement”).
(b) This Agreement will not be effective if the M&A Agreement does not close according to the M&A Agreement’s terms. | |
6. “Term” | 6.1 Definitions.
(a) “Delivery Obligation” means Licensor’s obligation to deliver the ordered Licensed Content in accordance with the Agreement’s terms, including the Specifications. |
Confidential Information | 1 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
| (b) “Initial Term Order Obligation” means Google’s obligation to order [*****] worth of Licensed Content during the Initial Term.
(c) “Extension Term Order Obligation” means Google’s obligation to order the amount of Licensed Content specified in Information Table Sections 6.3(a)(iii) and 6.3(b)(ii).
(d) “Renewal Term Order Obligation” means [*****].
6.2 Term. Unless terminated in accordance with Agreement Section 7 (Term and Termination), the Term will consist of the Initial Term, the Extension Term(s) (if any), and the Renewal Term(s) (if any), defined below:
(a) “Initial Term” means a period of 5 years starting on the Effective Date.
(i) Each year of the Initial Term will be referred to as “Year 1” through “Year 5”, respectively.
(ii) Each such year will be referred to generically as a “Contract Year”, and consist of four “Contract Quarters”.
(b) “Extension Term(s)” may apply to give the parties additional time to fulfill their respective obligations, as follows:
(i) Year 6. After Year 5, the Agreement will renew for a one-year Extension Term (“Year 6”) automatically if:
(A) Google failed to meet its Initial Term Order Obligation; or
(B) Licensor failed to meet its Delivery Obligation during the Initial Term, and the fees directly attributable to such failure result in a balance of prepaid Fees at the end of the Initial Term (“Delivery Obligation Failure Balance”); or
(ii) Year 7. After Year 6, the Agreement will renew for a one-year Extension Term (“Year 7”) at Google’s option if Licensor failed to meet its Delivery Obligation during Year 6, and the fees directly attributable to such failure result in a Delivery Obligation Failure Balance at the end of Year 6.
(c) “Renewal Term(s)”. Renewal Term(s) may apply if the parties have fulfilled their respective obligations and no prepaid Fee balance remains at the end of either the Initial Term, Year 6, or Year 7. Under these circumstances, at its sole discretion, Google may renew the Agreement for one additional one-year Renewal Term under the Agreement’s existing pricing and licensing terms as long as Google agrees to the Renewal Term Order Obligation for the applicable Renewal Term. If Google fails to meet its Renewal Term Order Obligation by the end of the Renewal Term, Licensor may invoice Google for the shortfall and Google will pay such invoice subject to Attachment D (Invoicing and Payment Terms).
(i) For example, if no prepaid Fee balance remains at the end of Year 7, Google may renew the Agreement for Year 8 as long as Google agrees to order [*****] or more of Licensed Content in Year 8. If, at the end of Year 8, Google has only ordered [*****] of Licensed Content, Licensor may invoice Google for the [*****] shortfall, and Google will pay such invoice in accordance with Attachment D (Invoicing and Payment Terms). However, if Google has ordered [*****] of Licensed Content in Year 8 in accordance with the Agreement, then Google has met its obligations under this Subsection (c) regardless of whether Licensor delivers the ordered amounts in accordance with the Agreement.
(ii) At the end of Year 8, the Agreement may only be renewed if the parties mutually agree to do so in writing. |
Confidential Information | 2 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
6.3 Fee Carry-Forwards, Credits, and Order Obligations during Extension Term(s). If the Agreement is extended to Year [*****] or Year [*****] in accordance with Information Table Section 6.2(b) (Extension Term(s)), then the following will apply:
(a) Year [*****].
(i) Prepaid Fee Carry-Forward. If a Delivery Obligation Failure Balance or an Order Obligation Failure Balance (as defined below) exists at the end of Year [*****], it will be carried forward to Year [*****].
(ii) Delivery Failure Credit. Licensor will add to the prepaid Fee balance a “Delivery Failure Credit” equal to [*****] of the Delivery Obligation Failure Balance, but solely with respect to the Delivery Obligation Failure Balance remaining at the end of Year [*****].
(iii) Extension Term Order Obligation. To the extent a portion of the prepaid Fee balance is attributable to Google’s failure to meet its Initial Term Order Obligation, then Google’s Extension Term Order Obligation for Year [*****] will equal [*****] of the order obligation failure balance (the “Order Obligation Failure Balance”). If no portion of the prepaid Fee balance is attributable to Google’s failure to meet its Initial Term Order Obligation, then Google will have no Extension Term Order Obligation.
(iv) Order Obligation Failure Balance. At the end of Year [*****], Licensor may invoice Google for any remaining Order Obligation Failure Balance, and Google will pay such invoice subject to Attachment D (Invoicing and Payment Terms).
(b) Year [*****].
(i) Prepaid Fee Carry-Forward. If a Delivery Obligation Failure Balance exists at the end of Year [*****], it will be carried forward to Year [*****].
(ii) Extension Term Order Obligation. There is no Extension Term Order Obligation in Year [*****] (because under Information Table Section 6.2(b)(ii), Year [*****] will exist only if Licensor failed to meet its Delivery Obligation during Year [*****], and Google opts to extend Licensor’s time to fulfill that obligation).
(iii) Refund. At the end of Year [*****], Licensor will refund any remaining Delivery Obligation Failure Balance to Google.
(c) Termination or Renewal after Exhaustion of Prepaid Fee Balance. If the prepaid Fee balance is exhausted before the end of the Initial Term or any Extension Term, then at its sole discretion, Google may either:
(i) terminate the Agreement; or
(ii) renew the Agreement (at the end of the Initial Term or applicable Extension Term) for an additional one-year Renewal Term in accordance with Section 6.2(c). | ||
7. Delivery | The Licensed Content delivery and acceptance process is described in Attachment C (Delivery, Acceptance, Rejection, and Correction of Licensed Content; Customer Support). |
Confidential Information | 3 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
8. “Fee(s)” | (a) Currency. All Fees under this Agreement are in US Dollars.
(b) Flat Fee.
(i) Google will pay Licensor a one-time, flat Fee of [*****] (the “Flat Fee”) in exchange for the services and licenses provided under this Agreement.
(ii) Google will pay the Flat Fee within two business days of the M&A Agreement’s Closing Date without any further action on behalf of Licensor, in accordance with the wire payment instructions in Attachment D, Section 5(d) (or as subsequently updated in writing by Licensor). If the M&A Agreement does not close according to the M&A Agreement’s terms, Google will have no obligation to pay the Flat Fee.
(c) Invoicing; Credit. Licensor will subsequently issue invoices under this Agreement and credit them against the prepaid Flat Fee by delivering Licensed Content to Google in accordance with Attachment B (Imagery Services); Attachment D, Section 1 (Invoices); and Attachment D, Section 5(b) (Payments).
(d) Fee Cap. Unless Google opts to either renew the Agreement under Information Table Section 6.2(c) (Renewal Term(s)) or orders additional Licensed Content in its sole discretion (beyond the amount covered by the prepaid Flat Fee, in which case additional fees will apply):
(i) the total amounts paid and payable by Google under this Agreement (including all applicable taxes) will not exceed the Flat Fee amount in Subsection (b); and
(ii) no additional fees, royalties, or payments will be due or owing under this Agreement. |

3 | Service Descriptions |
3.1 | Tasking: programmatic tasking of imagery collection. |
(a) | Tasking Periods. As of the Effective Date, Licensor will not have launched the entire SkySat satellite constellation. To accommodate Licensor’s smaller constellation and the time needed to transfer and launch acquired satellite operations from Google, tasking services will be broken out into three distinct periods: |
(i) | Period 1 will start on the Effective Date and end when Period 2 starts. |
(ii) | Period 2 will start on the earlier of (A) or (B) below, and will end when Period 3 starts: |
(A) | two years after the Effective Date; or ☐ |
(B) | the date Licensor has 12 or more SkySat satellites in commercial operation, where “commercial operation” means the satellites have successfully launched and completed all of Licensor’s orbit calibration and check-out processes (approximately 90 days after launch). As of the Effective Date, Licensor anticipates that it will have 12 or more SkySat satellites in commercial operation by January 1, 2018 (Licensor will notify Google of changes to this anticipated date if and when Licensor becomes aware of such changes). |
Confidential Information | 19 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
(iii) | Period 3 will start on the earlier of (A) or (B) below, and will end when the Agreement expires or terminates: |
(A) | two years after Period 2 starts; or ☐ |
(B) | the date Licensor has 17 or more SkySat satellites in commercial operation (as defined in Section 3.1(a)(ii)(B) above). As of the Effective Date, Licensor anticipates that it will have 17 or more SkySat satellites in commercial operation by January 1, 2019 (Licensor will notify Google of changes to this anticipated date if and when Licensor becomes aware of such changes). |
(b) | Tasking Service Fees. Google will have the option to request ad hoc tasking services at the following rates: |
Table 2 –Tasking Service Fees
Fees Based on Delivery Time after Receipt of Order (in USD) | Tasking Service Volume Thresholds | |||||
<12 hours | 12-24 hours | >24 hours | Contract Period | |||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] | Period 1: £100,000 sqkm per Contract Year Period 2: £350,000 sqkm per Contract Year Period 3: £600,000 sqkm per Contract Year | |||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] | Period 1: >100,000 sqkm per Contract Year Period 2: >350,000 sqkm per Contract Year Period 3: >600,000 sqkm per Contract Year |
Note: Minimum tasking order size is 6 x 6 km.
(c) | Stereo Imagery and Video Fees. |
(i) | Licensor does not currently offer the following products in Table 3 and has no obligation to do so. If, however, Licensor decides to offer the following products to the general public, Licensor will also offer them to Google under this Agreement in accordance with Table 3 (Stereo Imagery and Video Fees). |
(ii) | If Licensor does not offer these products to the general public, Licensor may offer them to Google at Licensor’s sole discretion. |
(iii) | The minimum order size for Stereo and Tri-Stereo Imagery is 6 x 6 km and the default delivery time is 24 hours. |

Product | Fees | Volume Thresholds | ||||
Stereo Imagery | [*****] | Same as Table 2 | ||||
Tri-Stereo Imagery | [*****] | Same as Table 2 | ||||
Video | [*****] | Same as Table 2 |
(d) | Tasking Collection Orders and Collection Priority. |
(i) | Order Acceptance. Licensor will accept all Google tasking orders that are properly submitted in accordance with this Agreement. |
(ii) | Collection Priority. Licensor will execute Google’s tasking orders with the highest collection priority, using all commercially reasonable efforts to collect and deliver the Licensed Content as quickly as possible in accordance with the Agreement’s specified quality standards. |
Confidential Information | 20 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
(a) | Highest Priority; Exceptions. Licensor will not offer tasking services to any other customer at a higher priority than given to Google, except government agencies to the extent they have ordered tasking services to respond to emergencies or disasters occurring at the same time as Google’s applicable tasking order. |
(b) | Delivery Timeframes; Order Receipt. Once Licensor receives an order, Licensor will deliver the tasking order in its entirety to Google in accordance with Table 2 (Tasking Service Fees). |
(1) | Email orders will be deemed received on the date and time sent if sent to Licensor during Licensor’s Service Desks’ business hours (between 9:00am-5:00pm Pacific Standard Time and between 9:00am-5:00pm Central European Time). Orders sent when both Service Desks are concurrently closed will be deemed received when the first of the two Service Desks opens on the next business day. |
(2) | Orders placed through the Tasking Order API will be deemed received on the date the API time stamps the order. |
(iii) | Order Cancellation. After Licensor receives an order, Licensor will have the number of hours specified in the applicable tasking order to deliver the Licensed Content (the “Order Fulfillment Period”). |
(a) | Cancellation Right. At its sole discretion, Google may cancel any tasking order prior to delivery. |
(b) | Effect on Minimum Annual Orders. |
(1) | If Google cancels an order before the end of the Order Fulfillment Period, Google’s order will not count towards Google’s minimum annual orders under Table 1 (Minimum Annual Orders). |
(2) | If Google cancels an order after the Order Fulfillment Period ends, Google’s order will count towards Google’s minimum annual orders under Table 1 (Minimum Annual Orders) and the ordered Fee amount will be added to the Delivery Obligation Failure Balance. |
(c) | Invoicing. Licensor will not invoice Google for any orders canceled before delivery. |
(e) | Tasking Order API. Licensor anticipates that within [*****] months after the Effective Date, Licensor will provide Google with access to an API that allows Google to programmatically submit, check status, modify, cancel, and otherwise manage its open tasking orders (“Tasking Order API”). |
(i) | Licensor will make available to Google early access to the Tasking Order API for testing purposes at least three months before the Tasking Order API’s commercial release date. |
(ii) | If Licensor does not make the Tasking Order API available to Google within [*****] months of the Effective Date, then for every week beyond this deadline, Licensor will wire transfer $[*****] to Google within [*****] days of receiving Google’s wire transfer instructions as Google’s sole remedy for failure to provide the Tasking Order API on schedule. |
(iii) | Google will not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Tasking Order API (collectively, “Reverse Engineering”), unless applicable law prohibits enforcement of this restriction, in which case Google may engage in Reverse Engineering solely to achieve software interoperability to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
3.2 | Google AOIs: collecting imagery of specified AOIs based on a standing deck of routinely updated metro areas. |
(a) | AOI Shapefiles. Google may order routine collection by the SkySat satellites of a set of Google-selected AOIs. To do so, Google will provide Licensor with a shapefile containing the geographic location and extent of each AOI, including the applicable refresh frequency for each AOI (e.g., annual, semi-annual, quarterly), which will be no more frequent than weekly for any one site. |
(b) | AOI Size. Google may specify any area as an AOI and Licensor will collect and deliver the specified imagery as one contiguous AOI. However, for pricing purposes, (i) each AOI will be no larger than [*****] sqkm and (ii) the maximum linear extent in any AOI’s axis will be [*****] km. |
(c) | Maximum AOI Delivery Capability. The total number of AOIs multiplied by the number of deliveries over the year must not exceed the maximum AOI delivery capability for the current Period (described in Table 4). |
Confidential Information | 21 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
Table 4 – Maximum AOI Deliveries per Year
Contract Period | Maximum Number of AOI Deliveries (AOIs x Refresh Rate) | |
Period 1 | [*****] per Contract Year / [*****] in any Contract Quarter | |
Period 2 | [*****] per Contract Year / [*****] in any Contract Quarter | |
Period 3 | [*****] per Contract Year / [*****] in any Contract Quarter |
For example, in a Contract Year in Period 2, if Google selects 250 AOIs to be delivered quarterly, this would equal 1,000 total deliveries (250 x 4) and [*****] Period 2’s cap of [*****] deliveries. As another example, in a Contract Year in Period 3, if Google selects 6,000 AOIs to be delivered annually, this would equal 6,000 deliveries (6,000 x 1) and [*****] Period 3’s cap of [*****] deliveries.
(d) | AOI Updates. Google may update its AOI shapefiles quarterly, and Licensor will start delivering Licensed Content based on the updated shapefile deck as soon as possible, but no later than one month from receipt of the updated shapefiles. |
(e) | AOI Fees. |
Table 5 – AOI Target Fees
Number of Requested Deliveries per Year | Incremental Cost per Delivery Requested | |
1 - 2,000 | [*****] | |
2,001 - 4,000 | [*****] | |
4,001 - 6,000 | [*****] | |
6,001+ | [*****] |
For example, if Google chooses [*****] AOIs that are each smaller than [*****] sqkm and no more than 100km in any linear extent to be delivered quarterly, this would equal 2,800 total deliveries for the year ([*****] AOIs x 4 deliveries) and the total target fee (the actual fee will be based on performance, as described in Subsection (g) (SLA)) would be ((2,000 deliveries x [*****]) + (800 deliveries x [*****])) = [*****].
In addition to the pricing table above, Google also has the opportunity to purchase up to [*****]% of the total requested deliveries in any Period at a smaller size of [*****]km and pricing at half the level indicated above.
(f) | AOI Delivery Time. Licensor will deliver all AOI imagery within 72 hours of its capture. |
(g) | Service Level Agreement (“SLA”). |
(i) | Goal. The parties desire that Licensor will deliver [*****]% of Google’s requested AOIs on schedule, subject to those dependencies and conditions outside of Licensor’s control, including force majeure. |
(ii) | SLA Incentives. To minimize underperformance, the following SLA incentives will apply: |
Table 6 – SLA
Percentage of AOIs Delivered | SLA Credit Multiplier | |||
[*****] | 1x | |||
[*****] | 1.5x | |||
[*****] | 2x | |||
[*****] | 2x |
(A) | SLA Failure. In Table 6 (SLA), the “Percentage of AOIs Delivered” indicates the number of AOIs delivered by Licensor in a given quarter against the target AOIs. Failing to achieve the [*****] threshold in a given quarter will constitute an SLA failure, except to the extent the failure is caused by force majeure in accordance with Agreement Section 8.6 (Force Majeure). |
Confidential Information | 22 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
(B) | Cure. Within 30 days, the parties will meet to mutually agree on a remedy for the SLA failure. If the parties do not agree on a remedy within 30 days, the SLA failure will be considered an uncured material breach of the Agreement, subject to Section 3.5 (Remediation Efforts related to Assets Purchased under the M&A Agreement) below. |
(C) | SLA Credit Multiplier. In Table 6 (SLA), the “SLA Credit Multiplier” is a multiplier against the non-invoiced SLA Fee for missed AOIs. The SLA Credit Multiplier disincents SLA underperformance by increasing the prepaid Fee balance that Google can apply towards Licensed Content orders during the Term. |
(1) | Example 1: If in Year [*****], Quarter 3, Licensor delivered 372 of Google’s 403 AOIs (92% of AOIs Delivered), there would be [*****] (31 deliveries x [*****]/AOI) in non-invoiceable Fees. The [*****] will not be forfeited. Google may use the [*****] on additional AOIs, tasking, or archive orders throughout the remainder of the Term. ☐ No SLA Credit Multiplier applies in this case. |
(2) | Example 2: If in Year [*****], Quarter 3, Licensor delivered 331 of Google’s 432 AOIs (76% of AOIs Delivered), there would be [*****] (101 Deliveries x [*****]/AOI) in non-invoiceable Fees. Because this performance falls between [*****], a [*****] SLA Credit Multiplier is applied, and the resulting [*****] can be used at Google’s discretion on additional AOIs, tasking or archive orders throughout the remainder of the Term. ☐ |
(D) | Minimum SLA Achievement. If Licensor achieves an SLA performance between [*****] three times, then after the third time, the parties will engage in the cure procedure in Subsection (B). |
3.3 | Archive Imagery: programmatic discovery and selection of archive imagery. |
(a) | Minimum Availability. During the Term, Licensor will make available for licensing all SkySat archive imagery in accordance with the following minimums: |
Period 1: [*****]
Period 2: at least [*****] sqkm
Period 3: at least [*****] sqkm of new, high-resolution, color archive imagery that:
(i) | was captured not more than [*****] months ago from the time of measurement; |
(ii) | meets all of the Agreement’s quality specifications; |
(iii) | falls outside of Google’s AOIs and does not include images previously licensed to Google; and |
(iv) | is not imagery of Antarctica, Greenland, or oceans ([*****]km from any coast). |
(b) | Fees. |
Table 7 – Archive Imagery Fees
Price / sqkm | Imagery Age (from Collection Date) | |
[*****] | [*****] days old or older | |
[*****] | [*****] to [*****] days old | |
[*****] | [*****] to [*****] days old | |
[*****] | Less than [*****] days old |
Confidential Information | 23 | Content License Agt v5.1 |
3.4 | Tip & Cue: a change alert and imagery collection service. |
(a) | Licensor does not currently offer the Tip & Cue service and has no obligation to do so. If, however, Licensor decides to offer Tip & Cue to the general public, Licensor will also offer that service to Google under this Agreement under the same terms and conditions, and subject to at least as favorable pricing, as Licensor offers that service to any other non-government customer ordering substantially similar quantities and commitments, and expressly excludes Licensor’s provision of Tip & Cue services at lower prices for humanitarian, marketing, or business development purposes. |
(b) | Subject to Subsection (a), Google may order Tip & Cue services to satisfy its order obligations under the Agreement and Licensor will apply any prepaid Fee balance to such orders, but solely with respect to Tip & Cue services used to order Licensed Content. |
3.5 | Remediation Efforts related to Assets Purchased under the M&A Agreement. |
(a) | To the extent any Licensed Content fails to meet the Specifications or is deficient, infringing, misappropriating, or fails to comply with applicable laws, or to the extent there is an SLA Failure, and such issue is directly caused by the assets purchased or received under the M&A Agreement (as evidenced by Licensor’s data and records), Licensor will use all commercially reasonable efforts to remediate those issues in a timely manner. In the case of Licensed Content that fails to meet Specifications, Licensor may opt to remediate by replacing problematic Licensed Content with new Licensed Content that meets the Specifications. |
(b) | If Licensor is unable to remediate in a commercially reasonable or timely manner, Licensor will work in good faith with Google on mutually-acceptable solutions. |
(c) | Licensor will not be deemed in breach of this Section 3.5 if it works in good faith with Google on such solutions, regardless of whether Licensor successfully resolves the issues. |
(i) | However, in the case of Licensed Content that fails to meet Specifications, if Licensor cannot successfully remediate Licensed Content so that it meets the Specifications after 90 days, then that Licensed Content will be deemed permanently rejected and Licensor will credit the already-invoiced Fee amounts for that Licensed Content, if any, to the prepaid Fee balance. |
(ii) | The remedies in (i)(A) and (i)(B) above will be Google’s sole remedy and Licensor’s exclusive liability for Licensed Content that fails to meet Specifications under this Section 3.5. |

Licensor’s right to cure under this Subsection (i) is subject to Agreement Section 7.2 (Termination). |
(ii) | Defects Caused by the Assets Purchased under the M&A Agreement. To the extent defects are directly caused by the assets purchased or received under the M&A Agreement (as evidenced by Licensor’s data and records), then Attachment B, Section 3.5 (Remediation Efforts related to Assets Purchased under the M&A Agreement) will apply. Licensor’s right to cure under this Subsection (ii) is not subject to Agreement Section 7.2 (Termination). |
