This Three Party Escrow Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is effective as of
October 31, 2023 (“Effective Date”) by and between SatixFy UK Limited (the “Depositor”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Associates Corporation (the “Beneficiary”), and ESOP Trust Management and Company Ltd., as the Escrow Agent (“ESOP” or “Escrow Agent”). Depositor,
Beneficiary, and ESOP may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties” throughout this Agreement.
Recitals
| A. |
The Beneficiary and Depositor have entered into a master purchase agreement (the “MPA”) dated the date hereof providing for, inter alia, the supply by the Depositor to the Beneficiary of the
Products (as defined in the MPA).
|
| B. |
The Depositor acknowledges that the Products form an integral part of the Beneficiary’s and its affiliates business, and the failure of the Beneficiary to receive the Products pursuant to the MPA would cause irreparable harm to the
Beneficiary and its affiliates.
|
| C. |
Depositor desires to avoid disclosure and release of the Deposit Material (as defined herein) except under certain circumstances.
|
| ▇. |
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Beneficiary desire to establish an escrow with ESOP to provide for the retention, administration and access and release of the Deposit Material upon the occurrence of certain Release Conditions.
|
| E. |
To ensure the Beneficiary has continued and uninterrupted access to the Products following a Release Condition, (i) the Beneficiary and Depositor have entered into a license agreement attached as Exhibit
E to this Agreement (the “License Agreement”) dated the date hereof regarding the present grant by Depositor of a license of, and other rights relating to, certain proprietary
technology and other materials of Depositor, (ii) the Beneficiary, Depositor and certain third party licensors and suppliers to the Depositor (as more particularly described on Exhibit B) have
entered or will enter into letters in favour of the Beneficiary (substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement) providing for certain rights to be extended by such third
parties to the Beneficiary (the “Third Party Letters”) and (iii) the Depositor will place into escrow the Deposit Material. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the License Agreement.
|
| F. |
Depositor and Beneficiary desire this Agreement to be “supplementary” within the meaning of section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code to the License Agreement, MPA and all other related agreements and documents, and the Deposit Material (as
defined below) shall be deemed “intellectual property” and/or “embodiments” of intellectual property, as the case may be, as such terms are defined and used in sections 101 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Introduction
|
| (a) |
The use of the term services in this Agreement shall refer to ESOP services that facilitate the creation and management of software or other technology escrow, as described in Exhibit A
attached hereto (“Services”). A Party shall request Services under this Agreement by submitting a work request to ESOP, in the form of Exhibit A, (“Work Request”).

Depositor Responsibilities and Representations
|
| (a) |
Depositor shall, and shall cause its affiliates, to do all such things, and take all such action, to effect the deposit of all Deposit Material to ESOP as soon as
reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, including the seeking and obtaining all of the consents and approvals as may be necessary to permit the deposit thereof. Depositor shall, within five (5) calendar days of the date that
the Depositor receives all such consents and approvals required to make such deposit, make an initial deposit to ESOP that is complete and functional of all proprietary technology and other materials required to support the license
granted under the License Agreement, including without limitation and for greater certainty, the materials set forth inExhibit B (as updated, supplemented from time to time, the “Deposit Material”). For the sake of clarity, no technology/materials which are comprised entirely of 3rd party technology/materials will be part of the Deposit Material. All such Deposit
Material shall be deemed within the scope of “Licensed Technology” licensed by the Depositor to the Beneficiary under the License Agreement. The Deposit Material under this Agreement shall be solely in respect of technology and other
materials related to that portion of the Products (as defined in the MPA) that are the [***] chips.
|
| (b) |
Depositor shall ensure that a minimum of one (1) complete and functional copy of the Deposit Material is deposited with ESOP at all times. In addition, Depositor shall update and supplement the Deposit Material as soon as reasonably

Improvements (as defined in the License Agreement) or (ii) the creation of any new proprietary technology or other materials covered under the License Agreement. Depositor shall advise Beneficiary when an existing Third Party Letter or the
third party thereunder ceases to be related to the Products or Improvements, or a new third party becomes a licensor or supplier related to the Products or Improvements, and in the latter case shall obtain a signed Third Party Letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit F from such third party, and update the Deposit Material in accordance with this Section. At the time of each deposit, update or supplement, Depositor
will provide ESOP an accurate and complete description of all of the Deposit Material sent to ESOP using the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. All other deposits and updates shall be listed
on a new Exhibit B signed by Depositor, and each Exhibit B will be held and maintained separately within the escrow account. The processing of
all deposits, updates and supplements shall be in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2 hereof. All references in this Agreement to the Deposit Material shall include the initial Deposit Material and any
subsequent updates, modifications or supplements that constitute Improvements under the License Agreement and deposited with ESOP hereunder.
|
| (c) |
As of the date hereof, Depositor shall and hereby does grant to ESOP all rights and licenses (including under all Licensed Patents and Licensed Technology, each as defined in the License Agreement), necessary to allow ESOP to lawfully

Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in the License Agreement) in or to the Deposit Material (“Depositor Proprietary Deposit Material”);
|
| (iii) |
with respect to all of the Deposit Material, it has the right and authority, and has received all approvals required, to grant to ESOP and Beneficiary all rights set forth
and otherwise contemplated under this Agreement and in respect of Depositor Proprietary Deposit Material all rights under the License Agreement;
|
| (iv) |
with the exception of the floating charges on Depositor's Intellectual Property Rights in respect of which Depositor has obtained applicable approvals, the Deposit Material
is not subject to any liens or encumbrances that would prohibit, limit, or alter the rights and obligations of ESOP and/or Beneficiary under this Agreement, which shall be to the knowledge of the Depositor other than in respect of
Depositor Proprietary Deposit Material;
|
| (v) |
with respect to all of the Deposit Material, neither this Agreement nor any Party’s rights thereunder or performance in accordance therewith, violates the law applicable to
the Depositor and the Deposited Materials, the terms of any agreement, order, grant or other obligation of the Depositor, or the rights of any third parties, which shall be to the knowledge of the Depositor other than in respect of

further consents to ESOP’s use of a subcontractor to perform verification Services. Any such subcontractor shall be bound by the same confidentiality obligations as ESOP and shall not be a direct competitor to either Depositor or
Beneficiary. Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide ESOP with any necessary use rights or permissions to use materials necessary to perform verification of the Deposit Material. Depositor agrees to reasonably

|
| (c) |
ESOP will conduct a visual inspection upon receipt of any Deposit Material and will compare such Deposit Material to Exhibit B. ESOP will notify in writing the Beneficiary and Depositor

|
| (d) |
ESOP will provide notice to Beneficiary of all of the Deposit Material that is accepted and deposited into the escrow account under this Agreement and, upon the written request of Beneficiary, ESOP will promptly (but, in any case, within

|
| (c) |
If proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, debtor’s relief or similar law are commenced (other than as provided in (b) above) against Depositor or any of its affiliates having any rights or obligations

|
| (d) |
Depositor or any of its affiliates having any rights or obligations in connection with the products to the Product or the license granted under the License Agreement is liquidated, dissolved or wound-up unless all such rights or
