2. This bond shall be in effect from March 23, 2017 until the FCC issues a notice of release of this bond. 3: Upon agreement by the Surety and the Principal, the maximum penal sum of this bond may be increased to cover the maximum liability that may accrue after the Maximum Accrual Date and until the Principal has satisfied the milestone set forth in paragraph 1. Failure of either party to increase the maximum penal sum pursuant to this paragraph shall not be considered a default hereof. If either party elects not to increase the maximum penal sum to cover any liability that may accrue after the Maximum Accrual Date, the Surety or the Principal, as the case may be, shall provide to the other party written notice of such election at least sixty (60) days prior to the Maximum Accrual Date. If the Surety and the Principal agree to increase the maximum penal sum beyond the Maximum Accrual Date, the maximum penal sum of the bond shall be increased on an annual basis, via a certificate or rider to this bond sent to the FCC and the Obligee, commencing on the day after the Maximum Accrual Date. Such certificate or rider shall increase the maximum penal sum in the amount by $400,000 per year until the earlier of (i) the date on which the condition in paragraph 1 above shall have been satisfied, and (ii) the date on which the Authorization is surrendered, revoked, or declared null and void. 4.

It is also understood and unconditionally agreed that upon receipt of such Notice of Default, the sole remedy under this bond will be the tender of payment of the amount calculated pursuant to this formula within thirty (30) business days of such Notice of Default, except that the liability of the Surety shall not exceed the maximum penal sum of the bond (taking into account any subsequent certificates or riders to the bond that may be executed, as described above). Any such Notice of Default made under this Bond shall be made in writing and shall be given by a personal delivery or expedited delivery service, postage pre—paid, addressed to the parties at the addresses specified below: To the Surety: International Fidelity Insurance Company 2999 Oak Rd., Ste 820 Walnut Creek, CA 94597 To the Principal: ViaSat, Inc.
