Contractor shall advise the Third Party Licensors and Chipset Manufacturers in writing of this fact, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require the Third Party Licensors and Chipset Manufacturers to offer to license such IP or perform such activities, respectively, on commercially reasonable terms (including the escrow obligations described in Article 13.K), to TerreStar in the event of a Release Condition (or to permit Contractor to assign the applicable contract to TerreStar at no additional cost), and Contractor shall not include any prohibition contrary to this Contract in any agreement with the Third Party Licensors or Chipset Manufacturers. Contractor shall promptly inform TerreStar in writing the extent to which the Third Party Licensors and Chipset Manufacturers fail to agree to comply with the requirements described in this Article.
(8) Limitation to Infringement Indemnification. With respect to Satellite Chipsets manufactured by TerreStar or its sublicensee pursuant to Article 13.I, Contractor shall have no liability under Article 14 (IP Indemnification) (i) to the extent that the IP Claim is based on the Third Party Licensor Intellectual Property; and (ii) unless TerreStar elects to pay Contractor a royalty, for any IP Claim if the rights under Article 13.I are exercised as a result of a Release Condition under Article 13.I(4)(b), (c) or (d).
This Addendum and the information contained therein are confidential and proprietary to TerreStar and Contractor and shall not
be published or disclosed to any third party except as permitted by the Terms and Conditions of this Addendum and the Contract.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE |
This statement of work (SOW) is written as an amendment to the Satellite Base Station Subsystem (S-BSS) Contract. It adds the tasks necessary to complete one of the final critical components of the operational TerreStar Network (TSN), user equipment (UE) comparable in size to today’s terrestrial cellular systems for communication over the TSN.
The Contractor shall supply the GMR-3G Satellite Chipset (the “Chipset”) Platform (Satellite Baseband hardware and the SW Platform) to TerreStar and shall support the TerreStar chosen terminal Vendor who will integrate, manufacture, and supply TerreStar reference terminals based on the technology from Contractor. In addition, the Contractor shall perform all tasks necessary to support the integration, test, troubleshooting, and resolution of all problems associated with the Chipset from start of integration with the terminal supplier through handset certification for [***] and from the start of integration with the S-BSS through Provisional and Final Acceptance for [***].
To eliminate any doubt about this Chipset Amendment, TerreStar’s intent with this SOW is that the Contractor deliver satellite chipsets fully integrated with the S-BSS that are capable of the required functionality from both the S-BSS and the Chipset specifications as defined in this contract, as amended, when operating from a terminal vendor supplied UE.
1.2 SCOPE |
The contractor shall be responsible for the design and development of the Chipset within the timeframe defined in the milestone schedule. The schedule is based on a [***] defined as [***]. [***] deliver an interim solution designed to provide market ready handsets to meet the stringent start of revenue service milestones of TerreStar. [***] also includes several SW releases to build functionality. [***] shall be certified and available for revenue service with the S-BSS functionality as modified through [***] and [***] at Provisional and Final Acceptance. [***] focuses on [***] solution intended to be a mid term solution on a technology roadmap that leads to a universal chipset. [***] SW shall include the full functionality in the S-BSS and Chipset specifications as modified through [***], [***], and [***]. In general the scope of the development is as follows:
The Contractor:
· | Integrated Program Management between the S-BSS and the Chipset |
· | Systems engineering and evaluation of terminal chipsets |

4.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE
As stated throughout this SOW, the Chipset and S-BSS development, through the Chipset Amendment, are considered one program with three projects (S-BSS, [***] Chipset, and [***] Chipset). In addition, the Chipset and terminal vendor projects are critically interdependent. Each of the milestones identified in section 3.9 above, the tables below, and others to be identified in more detailed planning between the parties, is critical to developing an operational UE. If the Contractor or TerreStar fail to meet a milestone, the lost schedule time may not be recoverable. The Contractor and TerreStar shall make best efforts to meet each milestone with the required functionality. Continual monitoring of program progress shall be made with schedule risks and potential impacts identified as soon as possible. If a milestone is missed, the affected party shall immediately notify the other of the impact to future deliveries. Both parties shall work to mitigate the impact and recover the lost schedule time if possible. Mitigation actions shall be mutually agreed and direction to implement the mitigation plan shall be made by TerreStar.
