Performance Standards and Warranties. (a) Warranty. DigitalGlobe warrants that, after Acceptance, the DAF will perform substantially in accordance with the DAF System Requirements contained in Appendix A. DigitalGlobe warrants that the DAF components purchased by DigitalGlobe are new and up to date. DigitalGlobe has advised Customer that portions or all of the DAF components may have previously been placed into service during testing and integration of the system for sale thereof to Customer. DigitalGlobe warrants that the Equipment and Software purchased by the Customer shall be under the warranty of DigitalGlobe for a period of twelve (12) months beginning from the date of Acceptance. Notwithstanding anything else in this DAF Purchase Agreement to the contrary, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the sole obligation of DigitalGlobe and its Suppliers in the event the DAF fails to comply with this warranty is repair or replacement, at DigitalGlobe’s election, of the defective DAF component, or portions thereof. The warranty given hereunder does not extend to any performance discrepancy that is primarily due to the Customer’s and/or End-User’s failure to operate and maintain the DAF in accordance with the Documentation or the failure for the Hitachi Equipment to meet any of its specifications.

(b) Documentation of Performance Discrepancies. Customer and/or End-User shall provide documentation of any such discrepancy in the post-Acceptance performance of the DAF that they believe exists. If DigitalGlobe disagrees that there are material discrepancies in the performance of the DAF, or if DigitalGlobe concludes that the discrepancies are primarily due to the Customer’s and/or End-User’s failure to operate and maintain the DAF in accordance with the Documentation, or that the discrepancies are due the failure for the Hitachi Equipment to meet any of its specifications, DigitalGlobe shall provide documentation that the DAF is performing according to the DAF System Specifications set forth in Appendix A. If the parties are unable to agree on the cause of the discrepancy within a thirty (30) day period, then both parties’ vice presidents shall discuss, in good faith, issues in order to reach a mutually acceptable accommodation within fifteen (15) days. If the parties fail to reach a mutually acceptable accommodation within this fifteen (15) day period and if the parties cannot otherwise reach a mutually acceptable accommodation, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Article 11.3 of this DAF Purchase Agreement.

8.3		Disclaimer of Warranties. THE WARRANTY STATED IN THIS ARTICLE 8 IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY OFFERED BY DIGITALGLOBE AND THE SUPPLIERS WITH RESPECT TO THE DAF AND ALL COMPONENTS THEREOF, EXPRESSLY INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES RESPECTING THE DAF OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF DIGITALGLOBE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE.

Direct Access Facility (DAF) System Requirements

The intent of these Requirements is to provide a Direct Access Facility (DAF) that the Customer and/or End-User can use for planning and scheduling satellite image collections, tasking the satellite for the collects and receiving the data, processing satellite data into useful images, and archiving and delivering the data to end users.

The DAF supports two main operational scenarios:

1.

Direct Tasking and Direct Downlink

		–	Used for in-communication cone operations on a descending pass (i.e., daylight imaging).
		–	Requires a reserved Satellite Access Window, which contains an uplink portion at the beginning of the window and a return to “handoff orientation” maneuver at the end of the window; imaging, maneuvering, and downlink occurs in the rest of the window.
		–	DAF imagery that is not directly downlinked within the same Satellite Access Window as it is collected in is downlinked to the DG GS, and sent to the DAF electronically as Encrypted Raw Imagery and Ancillary Data; this electronic delivery mechanism is called VGT delivery.

2.

Area-Based Indirect Tasking and Virtual Ground Terminal (VGT) Delivery

		–	Used primarily for out-of-communication cone operations on a descending pass.
		–	A Satellite Access Window is not reserved; instead, the DAF submits area orders to the DG GS.
		–	DG GS may satisfy the requested area through the collection of new imagery or through data that already exists in the DG ImageLibrary.

•

All DG ImageLibrary Data is delivered to the DAF electronically (i.e., VGT delivery) as Level 0 Products

–

Two commercial tasking levels are available for the collection of new imagery:

•

Premium tasking level

	•		Ordered imagery is delivered to DAF electronically (i.e., VGT delivery) as Encrypted Raw Imagery and Ancillary Data.
	•		Imagery is owned by DAF.

•

Standard commercial tasking level

	•		Ordered imagery is delivered to the DAF electronically (i.e., VGT delivery) in Level 0 Product format.
	•		Imagery is owned by DG GS.

The DAF requirements can be broken into three areas, which are outlined in the following sections:

	o		Interfaces
	o		Functionality
	o		Performance

It is understood that certain requirements may change as mutually agreed between DigitalGlobe and Customer,i as the program evolves. In particular, interface

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Confidential

DAF SOW Technical Requirements

requirements may change as long as they do not fundamentally affect the functionality of the DAF.

1 Interface Requirements

Table 1 provides descriptions of the interfaces to the DAF and also indicates which scenario(s) the interface is applicable to. A preliminary allocation to a DAF is provided for information only, and should not be viewed as being part of the requirement. Table 1 also indicates at which Site Acceptance Test (SAT) each requirement will be tested. The DAF SAT will be conducted with WV-1 data. The requirements tested at the WV-2 SAT will be conducted with WV-2 data.

Not all of the interfaces and data sources required for processing image data and for other DAF functions are specifically identified in the requirements below, since these will be resolved during the design process.
