WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company wishes to employ Executive in such capacity.

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Orbital Satcom Corp. entered into an employment agreement dated February 19, 2015 (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to terminate the Original Agreement effective as of the date hereof and for this Agreement to embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersede the Original Agreement and any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for in this Agreement.
 
        1.           Employment. The Company hereby employs the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment as an executive of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
        2.           Duties. The Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with such duties, responsibilities and authority as are commensurate and consistent with his position, as may be, from time to time, assigned to him by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company. The Executive shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company. During the Term (as defined in Section 3), unless otherwise authorized by the Company, the Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder and related services for the Company. Executive shall render his services from Poole, England and will not be required to relocate his residence from Poole, England at any time during the Term hereof. Executive agrees to travel as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the performance of his services hereunder, the travel, lodging and other expenses related thereto to be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding  the foregoing, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time by the Executive for the making of passive personal investments, the conduct of private business affairs (including other future directorships other than serving on the Board of Directors of a competing business) and charitable and professional activities shall be allowed, provided such activities do not materially interfere with the services required to be rendered to the Company hereunder and do not violate the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section8 below. The Company understands and acknowledges, consistent with the foregoing, that Executive currently has other personal passive investment interests in addition to his position hereunder as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

3.           Term of Employment. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the "Initial Term"), shall be for a period of two (2) years from the date hereof. The term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional terms of one (1) year each (each a "Renewal Term") unless either party gives prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term ("Non-Renewal Notice"), or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, the Initial Term and any Renewal Term are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Term."
 
 
 
 
 
4.           Compensation of Executive.

a.           The Company shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services hereunder, in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments during the Term, the sum of (i) $144,000 per annum and (ii) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Telestat Communications, Ltd, (“GTCL”) the sum of £48,000 per annum, (the "Base Salary"), less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations. The Board of Directors of the Company shall review the Base Salary on an annual basis and has the right but not the obligation to increase, but not decrease, the Base Salary.

b.           In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(a) above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus ("Annual Bonus") in an amount equal to up to fifty (50%) percent of his then-current Base Salary if the Company meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") for earning Bonuses which shall be adopted by the Compensation Committee annually. The Company will notify Executive of any such criteria. Annual Bonuses shall be paid by the Company to the Executive promptly after determination that the relevant criteria targets have been met, it being understood that the attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company's annual audit and public announcement of such results and shall be paid promptly following the Company's announcement thereof. The Compensation Committee may provide for lesser or greater amounts and/or percentage Annual Bonus payments for Executive upon achievement of partial, additional, or other criteria established or determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. The Annual Bonus shall be prorated for any partial fiscal year during the Term hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive is employed upon expiration of the Term of this Agreement, or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5(a) (other than Section 5(a) (vi)), he shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such year on a pro-rata basis through the last date of employment, even if he is not employed by the Company on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such year.

c.           Executive shall be eligible for such grants of awards under stock option or other equity incentive plans of the Company adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company (or any successor or replacement plan adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company) (the "Plan") as the Compensation Committee of The Company may from time to time determine (the "Share Awards"). Share Awards shall be subject to the applicable Plan terms and conditions, provided, however, that Share Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions as are provided in this Agreement or in any award certificate(s), which shall supersede any conflicting provisions governing Share Awards provided under the Plan.

d.           The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the Equity Awards course of his employment (including travel and lodging expenses), consistent with the Company's policy for reimbursement of expenses from time to time.

e.           The Executive  shall be entitled to participate in such pension, profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, and group health and benefit plans and all other benefits and plans, including perquisites, if any, as the Company and the Company provide to their executives and/or executives of subsidiaries of The Company (as the case may be) (the "Benefit Plans").

f.           The Company shall compensate the Executive for documented medical insurance coverage up to £250 per month.


g.        Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain quotes for Directors' and Officers' Professional Liability Insurance ("D&O Insurance") and purchase such D&O Insurance.

10.           Clawback Rights. The Annual Bonus, and any and all stock based compensation (such as options and equity awards, and any other Share Awards) (collectively, the "Clawback Benefits") shall be subject to "Clawback Rights" as follows: During the period that the Executive is employed by the Company and upon the termination of the Executive's employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, if there is a restatement of any financial results from which any Clawback Benefits to Executive shall have been determined, Executive agrees to repay any amounts or surrender or adjust any stock-based compensation which were determined by reference to any Company financial results which were later restated (as defined below), to the extent the Clawback Benefits amounts paid or received exceed the Clawback Benefits  amounts that would have been paid, based on the restatement of the Company's (or The Company's) financial results. All Clawback Benefits amounts resulting from such restated financial results shall be retroactively adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Company to take into account the restated results, and any excess portion of the Clawback Benefits resulting from such restated results shall be immediately repaid, modified or surrendered to The Company and if not so modified or surrendered within ninety (90) days of the revised calculation being provided to the Executive by the Compensation Committee of the Company following a publicly announced restatement, the Company and/or The Company shall have the right to take any and all action to effectuate such modification. The calculation of the revised Clawback Benefits amount shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company in good faith and applicable law, rules and regulations.

The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

b.           To the extent that Executive will be reimbursed for costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided that the foregoing clause (b) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (c) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

c.           A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a "Separation from Service" within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a "termination," "termination of employment" or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.

d.           Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Each payment that is made within the terms of the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-l (b)(4) is intended to meet the "short-term deferral" rule.

e.           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive's termination, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the "Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits"), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following Executive's termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to  each payment or benefit. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to Executive on or within the six (6) month period following Executive's termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive's termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Executive's termination date, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
 
 
 
 
 
f.           For purposes of this Agreement, "Section 409A Limit" will mean a sum equal (x) to the amounts payable prior to March 15 following the year in which Executive terminations plus (y) the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive's annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Company's taxable year preceding  the Company's taxable year of Executive's  termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation l.409A-l(b)(9)(iii)(A)(l) and any IRS guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(l7) of the Code for the year in which Executive's employment is terminated.
 
12.           Miscellaneous.

Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Company, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Executive hereinabove shall be construed as separable·and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by Law in the jurisdiction in which the Company seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at Jaw or in equity.

b.           Neither the Executive nor the Company may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other; provided however that the Company shall have the right to delegate its obligation of payment of all sums due to the Executive hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement in the event of the consummation of a Change of Control transaction (provided that Executive does not exercise his termination rights with respect thereto), provided that the Company requires any successor entity or Person to expressly assume, be bound by, and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Agreement and provides Executive with an instrument executed by any such successor or Person confirming the foregoing.

c.           The Original Agreement is hereby terminated and is null and void and of no further effect.  This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive's employment by the Company, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the Company with respect thereto, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver by any party of any provision or condition to be performed hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time, unless the instrument of waiver expressly provides otherwise.

d.           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives, and permitted assigns.

e.           The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

f.           All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, receipt acknowledged, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail service (e.g., Federal Express), receipt acknowledged, to the party at the addresses set forth below or to such other address as any party may hereafter give notice of in accordance with the provisions hereof.
