  a. Section 7.1 of Product Supplement A is replaced in its entirety with the following:

“7.1    Additional Terms and Conditions for Distribution License

1. No Implied Licenses. Except for the rights defined in the Agreement, there are no other rights or licenses conveyed under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

2. Standalone Distribution. TerreStar must not advertise, give a separate price for, or otherwise market or distribute the Product software or any part of the Product software, as a separate item from the Product.

3. Limited Distribution. The Traditional Chinese language version of the Product software must not be distributed by TerreStar within or to the People’s Republic of China.

4. COA’s (Certificate of Authenticity’s) and APM’s.

5. Changes; Notices. TerreStar may not modify or change the Product software. TerreStar shall not remove or obscure any copyright tags, product markings, trademarks or other symbols or notices appearing in or on the Product software.

6. Excluded Licenses. This Agreement does not provide for or include any right or license to perform or cause any actions to be performed that would require the Product software to be licensed under open source license terms.

7. End User License Agreement. TerreStar must notify each end user before or at the time of purchase that the Product contains software that is subject to end user license terms for software.

8. Design Restrictions on High Risk Activities. The Product software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for any use requiring fail-safe performance in which the failure of a software could lead to death, serious personal injury, severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”).

11. Suspension. In the event of termination of any third party software license due to reasons not attributable to EB, which software is included in the Product software, EB may stop the distribution of the Products to TerreStar containing such included software only. EB shall use its best commercial efforts to obtain from market sources a functionally equivalent replacement of such software that meets the Product Specifications and is reasonably acceptable to TerreStar and the Parties shall mutually agree on the use of such replacement software and on any price adjustment to take into account any increased cost resulting from such replacement. In addition, in the event of termination of any third party trademark license, which trademark is used in the Product or Documentation, EB may stop the distribution of such Products and Documentation to TerreStar and may instead distribute Products and Documentation that do not contain such trademarks. EB shall provide written notice to TerreStar promptly after EB becomes aware of any adverse change to the software licensing terms or impending termination of any third party software license for software included in a Product.

EB agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold the TerreStar Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from any third party claim against a TerreStar Indemnitee arising from EB’s failure to comply with or breach of any of the provisions in any third party software license agreement between EB and a third party software licensor applicable to the software in a Product.

TerreStar, Company and their third party licensors and suppliers (collectively referred to as the “Licensors” for the purposes of sections 15 and 16 only) give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. Any warranties you receive regarding the software do not originate from, and are not binding on the Licensors. WHEN ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL LAWS, THE LICENSORS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

 

  16. LIABILITY LIMITATIONS.

This limitation applies to anything related to the software, services, content (including code) on third party internet sites, or third party programs, and claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers (including section 15) also apply even if the Licensors should have been aware of the possibility of the damages and even if any remedy fails its essential purpose. The above limitation may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.

 

  17. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. The software is subject to United States and other countries export laws and regulations.

You represent and warrant that you (i) are not listed on any U.S. Government list of restricted or debarred entities, specially designated nationals, or blocked or denied persons, any unverified list, or any similar list that would prevent you from acquiring or licensing the software and documentation and (ii) are not otherwise ineligible to acquire or license the software and documentation.

 

  18. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The software is licensed only with “restricted rights” and as “commercial items” consisting of “commercial software” and “commercial software documentation” and with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein. Nothing in this EULA requires TerreStar, Company or their licensors and suppliers to produce or furnish technical data for or to you.

 

  19. TERMINATION. This EULA is effective until terminated. Your rights under this EULA will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this EULA.

  20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY. This EULA is the entire agreement between you, TerreStar and Company relating to the software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the software or any other subject matter covered by this EULA. If any provision of this EULA is held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

 

  2. Except as specifically amended, the Agreement remains in full force and effect, and is ratified and confirmed.

 

  3. In the event of any conflict between any terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail over the Agreement.
