available at law or equity, to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief.

4.4 Waiver. The availability of any civil remedy under this Agreement shall not prejudice the
exercise of any other civil remedy under this Agreement or under any provision of law, nor shall any
action taken by a Party in the exercise of any remedy be considered a waiver by that Party of any other
rights or remedies. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, or to exercise any right they grant, shall not be construed as a relinquishment or future
waiver; rather, the provision or right shall continue in full force. No waiver by any Party of any
provision or right shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party.

4.5 Waiver of Immunity. Horizon agrees that, to the extent that it or any of its property
(including FCC licenses and authorizations and intangible property) is or becomes entitled at any
time to any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise based upon a status as an agency
or instrumentality of government from any legal action, suit, or proceeding or from setoff or
counterclaim relating to this Agreement, from the jurisdiction of any competent court or the FCC,
from service of process, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution
of a judgment, from execution pursuant to a judgment or arbitral award, or from any other legal
process in any jurisdiction, it, for itself and its property expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity with respect to matters arising with
respect to this Agreement or the obligations herein (including any obligation for the payment of
money) in any proceeding brought by a U.S. federal, state or local Government Authority.
Horizon agrees that the waiver in this provision is irrevocable and is not subject to withdrawal in
any jurisdiction or under any statute, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1602 et seq. The foregoing waiver shall constitute a present waiver of immunity at any time any
action is initiated by a U.S. federal, state or local Government Authority against Horizon with
respect to compliance with this Agreement.

4.6 Forum Selection. Any civil action among the Parties for judicial relief with respect to any
dispute or matter whatsoever arising under, in connection with, or incident to, this Agreement shall be
brought, if at all, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

4.7 Effectiveness of Article 4. This Article 4, and the obligations imposed and rights conferred
herein, shall become effective upon the execution of this Agreement by all the Parties.

5.4 Outsourcing Contracts. Horizon shall ensure the following with regard to any Outsourcing
Contracts related to its distribution of BGAN Service:

(a) Horizon shall include written provisions in any Outsourcing Contract that require
the contractor to comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement and the
Implementation Plan, or shall take other reasonable, good-faith measures to ensure that the
contractor is aware of, agrees to, and is bound to comply with all such terms.

(b) Horizon shall not enter into any Outsourcing Contract that affords the contractor
access to Sensitive Information, unless such access has been lawfully approved by the
entity that provided the information.

(c) Horizon shall not induce the contractor either to violate its obligations to Horizon
related to this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, or to take any action that, if taken by
Horizon, would violate this Agreement or the Implementation Plan.

(d) If Horizon receives any information that a contractor or any of its employees or
agents has taken an action that, had it been taken by Horizon, would violate a provision of
this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, or has violated its obligations to Horizon
related to this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, Horizon (1) will notify the
Government Parties promptly, and (2) in consultation and cooperation with them, will take
all reasonable steps necessary to rectify promptly the situation, including terminating the
Outsourcing Contract (with or without notice and opportunity for cure) or initiating and
pursuing litigation or other remedies at law and equity.

(e) Neither an Outsourcing Contract nor any provision of this Section 5.4 does or shall
be construed to relieve Horizon of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the
Implementation Plan.

5.5 Notice of Foreign Influence. If Horizon or its agents (including officers and members of
the Board of Directors) acquires any information that reasonably indicates that any Foreign entity
or individual, Foreign Governmental Authority, or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled
entity plans to participate or has participated in any aspect of the day-to-day management of
Horizon or to exercise any Control of Horizon in such a way that (1) interferes with or impedes the
performance by Horizon of its duties and obligations under the terms of this Agreement; (2)
interferes with or impedes the exercise by Horizon of its rights under the Agreement; or (3) raises
a concern with respect to the fulfillment by Horizon of its obligations under this Agreement, then
such manager shall promptly notify the Government Parties in writing of the timing and the nature
of the Foreign entity’s or individual’s, Foreign Governmental Authority’s, or Foreign
Governmental Authority-controlled entity’s plans or actions.

5.6 Procedure and Process on Reporting. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date,
Horizon shall adopt and distribute to all officers and directors, a written procedure or process for
the reporting by officers and directors of noncompliance with this Agreement or the
Implementation Plan, which shall incorporate the notice of reporting obligations by officials,
employees, agents and contractors required under Section 3.8 of this Agreement. Any violation by
Horizon of any material term of such corporate policy shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6: CONFIDENTIALITY; USE OF INFORMATION

6.1 Confidentiality. The Government Parties shall take all measures required by law to protect
from public disclosure all information submitted by Horizon (or other entities in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, including the Implementation Plan) to them in connection with this
Agreement and clearly marked with the legend “Business Confidential; subject to protection under
5 U.S.C. § 553(b)” or similar designation. Such markings shall signify that it is the company’s

information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential,” or otherwise warrants
protection within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). For the purposes of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4),
the Parties agree that information so marked is voluntarily submitted. If a request is made under
5 U.S.C. §552(a)(3) for information so marked, and disclosure of any information (including
disclosure in redacted form) is contemplated, Horizon shall be provided with the notices and
procedures required by law, including those specified in Executive Order 12600, 52 Fed. Reg.

6.2 Use of Information by U.S. Government for Any Lawful Purpose. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent the Government Parties or any other U.S. Governmental Authority from

ARTICLE 7: FCC CONDITION

7.1 FCC Approval. Upon the execution of this Agreement, including the Implementation Plan,
by all of the Parties, Horizon shall request that the FCC adopt a condition to Horizon’s existing or
pending FCC authorizations, substantially the same as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the
“Condition to FCC Authorization”).

7.2 Right to Object to Future FCC Filings. Horizon agrees that in any application or petition
by Horizon, filed with or granted by the FCC after the execution of this Agreement by all the

as amended, to offer, distribute, or resell Domestic Communications in the United States for
communications utilizing the Inmarsat system, or otherwise operate U.S. Licensed MESs in the
United States, Horizon shall request that the FCC condition the grant of such licensing or other
authority on compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 8.9, nothing

Authority from opposing, formally or informally, any FCC application or petition by Horizon for
other authority, or to transfer its license(s) to a third party (except with respect to pro forma

ARTICLE 8: OTHER

8.1 Right to Make and Perform Agreement. Horizon represents that it has and shall continue to

sovereign immunity of the United States, or (d) any authority the U.S. Government may possess over

them, waive any provision of this Agreement intended for their benefit unless such waiver is objected
to by Horizon. The Government Parties agree to consider promptly and in good faith possible
modifications to this Agreement if Horizon believes that the obligations imposed on it under this
Agreement are substantially more restrictive than those imposed on other U.S. and foreign licensed

public safety concerns. Any substantial modification to this Agreement shall be reported to the FCC
within thirty (30) days after approval in writing by the Parties.

have executed this Agreement, the Government Parties find that the terms of this Agreement are
inadequate to address national security, law enforcement, or public safety concerns, then Horizon
will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to address those concerns.

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by
facsimile, each of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
