ARTICLE VIII
GUARANTY
Section 8.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lender to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct
benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, each
Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lender that such Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees as primary
obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment and performance by
the Borrower when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of
any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender. If any or all of
the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender become due and payable hereunder,
each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally promises to pay such
Obligations to the Lender, or order, on demand, together with any and all
reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Lender in collecting any of the
Obligations.
Section 8.2 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder
is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the
Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to
application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other
continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or
of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on
or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any
dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the
Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Lender in respect of the Obligations
which the Lender is required to repay to the Borrower pursuant to court order in
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief
proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification
of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.
Section 8.3 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower be joined in any such
action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder
or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance
which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall
operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Guarantor.
Section 8.4 Authorization. Each Guarantor authorizes the Lender without
notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from
time to time to:
(a) change the manner or place of payment of, and/or change or extend the
time of payment of, renew, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations, any
security therefor, or
27
any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the
Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended,
renewed or altered;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner
and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to
secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any
of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or
hereof, and/or any offset there against;
(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or
others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the
Borrower or other obligors;
(e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or
any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof, or subordinate the payment of all or any part
thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to
its creditors;
(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender regardless of what
liability or liabilities of such Guarantor or the Borrower remain unpaid; and/or
(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default
under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such
other instruments or agreements.
Section 8.5 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Lender to inquire
into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the
officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its
behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
Section 8.6 Subordination. Any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower
now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the
Obligations of the Borrower; provided, however, that payment may be made
by the Borrower on any such Indebtedness owing to such Guarantor so long
as the same is not prohibited by this Agreement; and provided further,
that if the Lender so requests at a time when a Lender Termination Event
exists, all such Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor shall be
collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the
Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations of the
Borrower to the Lender, but without affecting or impairing in any manner
the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable
instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Guarantor, such Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument
with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.
28
Section 8.7 Waiver. Subject to Section 9.10, the expiration of the
applicable Standstill Period and the giving of notice as required by the
Financing Order:
(a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by
applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Lender to (i) proceed
against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other
party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security granted by the Borrower, any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any
other remedy in the Lender's power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives (except as
shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Obligations,
including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the
disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from
any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower
other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Lender may, at its election,
foreclose on any security held by the Lender by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or
exercise any other right or remedy the Lender may have against the Borrower or
any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have
been paid. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by
the Lender, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right
of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor
against the Borrower or any other party or any security.
(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance,
protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty,
and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional
Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and
the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and
incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lender shall have no duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or, without prior notice to the Lender, to enable or take any other action
to permit any issuer of Pledged Collateral to issue any stock or other
equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities

limited liability company pursuant
33

security under section 8-103 of the UCC.

agent, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the
registration of any material Intellectual Property with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency within or outside the United States, such Grantor
shall report such filing to the Lender within (5) five Business Days after
the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs.
(viii) Such Grantor will take all reasonable actions necessary or
requested by the Lender, including in any proceeding before the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or
any similar office or agency, to maintain and pursue each application (and
to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of
any Copyright, Trademark or Patent that is material Intellectual Property,
including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of incontestability and opposition and interference and
cancellation proceedings.
(ix) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is
infringed upon or misappropriated or diluted by a third party and such
event would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
such Grantor shall notify the Lender promptly after such Grantor learns
thereof. Such Grantor shall take appropriate action in response to such
infringement, misappropriation or dilution, including promptly bringing
suit for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and
all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall
take such other actions may be appropriate in its reasonable judgment

Section 9.5 Performance by Lender of the Grantors' Obligations.
Subject to Section 9.10, the expiration of the applicable Standstill
Period and the giving of notice as required by the Financing Order, if any
Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained
herein and the Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement,
shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or
compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Lender incurred in
connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest
thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the Loan, shall be
payable by such Grantor to the Lender on demand and shall constitute
Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance of such Grantor's
obligations as permitted under this Section 9.5 shall in no way constitute
a violation of the
35
automatic stay provided by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each
Grantor hereby waives applicability thereof.
Section 9.6 Limitation on Lender's Duty in Respect of Collateral.
The Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it
or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Lender
shall, with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control, deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals
with similar property for its own account. Upon request of the Borrower,
the Lender shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any
foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral of any Grantor.
Section 9.7 Remedies, Rights Upon Lender Termination Event. Subject
to Section 9.10, the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period and
the giving of notice as required by the Financing Order:
(a) If any Lender Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the
Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, any or all of the following
rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:
(i) all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Lender, without
demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind
(except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private
sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the
maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral,
or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an
option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or
more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or
broker's board or at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere at such
prices at it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of
said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which
equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases to the extent permitted
by applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Lender's request,
to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places
which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (net of
all expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses), to the Obligations in
any order deemed appropriate by the Lender, such Grantor remaining liable
for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after
so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Lender of
any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, the UCC,
36
need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. Each Grantor
agrees that the Lender need not give more than ten (10) days' notice to
the Borrower (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or
delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to the
Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2) of the time and place
of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which a private sale
may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such
matters. The Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter upon any
real property owned or leased by any Grantor to exercise any of its rights
or remedies under this Agreement. The Lender shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and any such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
adjourned. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay its Obligations and all other amounts to which the Lender is entitled,
the Grantors also being liable for the fees and expenses of any attorneys
employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency.
(ii) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any
action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without
regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the Real Property and
take possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, without force or
with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or
with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and
process is waivable, in which case Grantor hereby waives such notice and
process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be
desirable or necessary in Lender's judgment to preserve the value,
marketability or rentability of the Collateral.
(iii) Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise
of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting
any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for
herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a
court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or
any part of the Collateral, as a matter of strict right and without notice
to Grantors and without regard to the adequacy of the Collateral for the
repayment of the Obligations or the solvency of Borrower or any person or
persons liable for the payment of the Obligations, and Grantors hereby
irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and
defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application
therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive
Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under
the law to have a receiver appointed. Any such receiver shall have all of
the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including,
without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage,
maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Collateral
upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and
reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 9.9
below.
37
(iv) Immediately commence an action to foreclose the real property
liens granted hereunder in the manner provided for foreclosure of
leasehold deeds of trust.
(v) Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity to enforce the
payment of the Obligations, to foreclose the liens and security interests
granted hereunder as against all or any part of the Collateral, and to
have all or any part of the Collateral sold under the judgment or decree
of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of
any other non-judicial remedies available to Lender with respect to the
Loan Documents. Proceeding with such judicial remedies or receiving a
judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of
remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of Lender.
(b) Each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice
(to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection
with this Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) Pledged Collateral.
(i) During the continuance of a Lender Termination Event, if the
Lender shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the
relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Lender shall have the right to
receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in
respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the
Obligations in the order set forth herein, and (ii) the Lender or its
nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights
pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders,
partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers
of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute
owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and
all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the
corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to
deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it,
but the Lender shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such
right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to
do so or delay in so doing.
(ii) In order to permit the Lender to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant
hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may
be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Lender all such
proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Lender may
from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect
of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Lender an
irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to
exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a
holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving
38
or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as
the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or
members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy
shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action
(including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of
the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such
Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance
of a Lender Termination Event and which proxy shall only terminate upon
the payment in full of the Obligations.
(iii) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each
issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i)
comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that
(A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B)
is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any
other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees
that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments
with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Lender.
Section 9.8 The Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Subject
to Section 9.10, the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period and
the giving of notice as required by the Financing Order:
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its and
its Subsidiaries true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power
and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such
Grantor, or in its own name, from time to time in the Lender's discretion, for
the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary and desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Lender the power and right, on
behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the
following:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and
receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral
and, in the name of such Grantor, its own name or otherwise, to take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding
in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the
Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any
Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to
effect any
39
repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of
the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due and to become due

equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or

in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender
may deem appropriate; (G) to license or, to the extent permitted by an
applicable license, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and
whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any trademarks, throughout
the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner,
as the Lender shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise
deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Lender's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to
time, all acts and things which the Lender reasonably deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender's Lien
therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.
(b) The Lender agrees that it will forbear from exercising the power of
attorney or any rights granted to the Lender pursuant to this Section 9.8,
except upon the occurrence or during the continuation of a Lender Termination
Event. The Grantors hereby ratify, to the extent permitted by law, all that said
attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of
attorney granted pursuant to this Section 9.8 is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in
full.
(c) The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the
Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that

nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Lender Termination
Event or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i) to communicate
in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to any Contract
with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor
in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters
40
relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured
within any applicable grace or cure period, and entry upon the Real
Property pursuant to Section 9.7(a)(ii) hereof or appointment of a

Globaltel Assignment Agreement, dated as of August 1, 1997, the Borrower
acknowledged that the Borrower had formed Globaltel under the direction of and
as agent of Loral Space & Communications Ltd. ("Loral"); that Loral had full
responsibility to fund all equity requirements pertaining to the Borrower's 49

Creditors and Loral and its subsidiaries (the "Loral Settlement"), the Borrower
is obligated upon the request by Loral to take any steps that may be necessary
to perfect Loral's title to the shares and to substitute Loral for the Borrower
as the 49 percent partner in Globaltel.

party to the Shareholders' Agreement of Globalstar Canada Satellite Co.
("GCSC"). ATSS Canada, Inc. owns 50.1 percent of the shares of GCSC, and a

Under the terms of the Loral Settlement, Loral will transfer its 49.9 percent
interest to GLP on the closing date of the Loral Settlement.
4. If the matter described in numbered paragraph 10 under
"Section 2.6 - No Changes" of the Partnership Disclosure Letter is not resolved

SCHEDULE 4.6
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
1. By letters dated December 20, 2001, and November 29, 2001,
QUALCOMM purported to terminate the Borrower's Production Gateway Purchase
Agreement ("PGPA") and Development Contract, respectively. The PGPA was assigned
to Globalstar Services Company, Inc., a Subsidiary of the Borrower in 1998. The
Borrower took the position that QUALCOMM could not lawfully and unilaterally
terminate those agreements. Both agreements contain provisions granting the
Borrower certain intellectual property rights associated with the Globalstar
Gateways and user terminals. QUALCOMM has made no effort thus far to restrict
the Borrower's access to QUALCOMM's intellectual property, and the Borrower
believes that it will reach mutually agreeable terms with QUALCOMM with respect
to such intellectual property rights.
2. The Borrower's right to use space segment intellectual
property owned by Space Systems/Loral derives from the terms of the Satellite
Contract, Contract No. GS-C-94-0008, dated February 16, 1994. Under the Loral
Settlement, the Borrower has agreed to reject the Satellite Contract in
accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, Loral has
agreed to cooperate with the Borrower in turning over technical information
about the space segment and transferring Globalstar-related patents to the
Borrower. In return the Borrower has agreed to grant Space Systems/Loral
("SS/L") a royalty-free license to use Globalstar-related intellectual property.
On April 25, 2003, the Borrower and SS/L signed two (2) agreements to effectuate
these commitments.
3. The Borrower has recently acquired service provider companies
use a billing system that is dependent on Oracle database software. The Borrower
has a site license for all Oracle database systems. The Borrower is currently
investigating whether its Oracle site license can be utilized for these billing
systems. If the billing systems are not covered, then additional licenses would
have to be purchased.
4. If the matter described in numbered paragraph 10 under
"Section 2.6 - No Changes" of the Partnership Disclosure Letter is not resolved
in a manner favorable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the assets of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Intellectual
Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, may be subject to liens that may
be imposed by the PBGC. See numbered paragraph 10 in "Section 2.6 - No Changes"
of the Partnership Disclosure Letter.
5. See Attachment for Schedule 4.6 - Intellectual Property.

FINAL ORDER PURSUANT TO SECTION 364(c) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE
AND BANKRUPTCY RULE 4001 AUTHORIZING DEBTORS
TO OBTAIN SECURED POSTPETITION FINANCING
A hearing having been held on May 20, 2003 (the "Hearing") to
consider the motion, dated May 2, 2003 (the "Motion"), of Globalstar, L.P.
("Globalstar"), Globalstar Capital Corporation, Globalstar Services Company,
Inc. and Globalstar L.L.C., as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively,
the "Debtors"), seeking an order approving pursuant to section 364(c) of title
11, United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4001(c),
that certain Secured Super-Priority Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement, by
and among Globalstar, as borrower, the other Debtors, as guarantors, and ICO
Investment Corp. (the "Lender") (as the same may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "DIP Facility"),2 and authorizing the
Debtors to obtain under the DIP Facility postpetition loans up to an aggregate
principal amount of $35,000,000 (1) secured pursuant to sections 364(c)(2) and
364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code by (a) first priority liens on all of the
Debtors' unencumbered assets and a junior lien on any of the Debtors' assets
encumbered by Permitted Liens (which
--------------------
(1) The following affiliates of Globalstar Capital Corporation have filed
voluntary petitions for relief and their cases are being jointly
administered in these proceedings: Globalstar, LLC, G1obalstar Services
Company, Inc. and Globalstar, L.P.
(2) Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the DIP Facility.
Collateral expressly excludes the (i) Wind-Down Funds, (ii) Avoidance Actions
and all monies and other property of any kind received therefrom or recovered in
connection therewith, and (iii) FCC licenses (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
collectively, the "Excluded Assets") and also excludes the $250,000 of cash
collateral of the Borrower that will be subject to the Commitment Fee Lien (as
defined in the Motion)), in each case, in which a lien may be legally granted;
(b) a pledge of the equity interest in the outstanding capital stock of L/Q
Licensee, Inc.; and (c) all proceeds of sale of all FCC licenses held by the
Debtors (collectively, the "Collateral"), in the case of each of the foregoing
clauses (a), (b), and (c) subject and subordinate to Permitted Liens, and (2)
entitled to administrative expense priority with priority over all other
administrative expenses pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code but
subject and subordinate to the Wind Down Costs as provided in paragraph 7
hereof, and the Court having considered the Motion and the Exhibits thereto, the
DIP Facility and the Schedules and Exhibits thereto; and the appearances of all
interested parties having been noted in the record of the Hearing; and upon the
Motion, papers in support thereof, the record of the Hearing; and after due
deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is
HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED:
A. This Court has jurisdiction over this proceeding and the
parties in interest and properties and interests in properties affected by the
Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sections 157 and 1334. Consideration of this Motion
is a core proceeding under 28 US.C. Sections 157(b). Venue of this proceeding is
proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sections 1408 and 1409.
B. Good and sufficient notice of the Hearing to consider entry of
this Order (including service of a copy of the Motion and the Exhibits thereto)
has been given. Such notice is sufficient for all purposes under the Bankruptcy
Code, including, without limitation, sections 102(1), 363 and 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code and the applicable Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
2
Procedure, including, without limitation, Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002, 4001(c) and
6004 in respect of the relief requested in the Motion.
C. On February 15, 2002, each of the Debtors filed with this
Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors remain in possession of their assets and are authorized to continue
the operation and management of their businesses as debtors in possession
pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
D. On April 25, 2003, the Court approved an investment
transaction with ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited ("ICO").
E. Absent additional postpetition financing, the Debtors do not
have sufficient liquidity to fund their business operations through consummation
of the ICO Transaction.
F. The Debtors cannot obtain postpetition unsecured credit solely
under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense. New
credit is unavailable to the Debtors without securing such new credit and other
obligations with liens on and security interests in all property and interests
in the Collateral, subject and subordinate to the Permitted Liens and providing
such credit with super-priority administrative expense (subject and subordinate
to Wind Down Costs). The Debtors cannot obtain postpetition financing on terms
more favorable to the Debtors than the financing made available under the DIP
Facility.
G. Absent the DIP Facility, the Debtors and their estates would
be unable to fund their business operations through consummation of the ICO
Transaction and consequently, would suffer irreparable harm. The availability of
funding under the DIP Facility to finance the Debtors' business operations is in
the best interests of the Debtors and their respective creditors and estates
because it enables the Debtors to pursue consummation of the ICO Transaction
3
without significantly increasing the risk of administrative insolvency (as a
result of the Lender's agreement to the carve-outs from the lien and priority
granted hereunder).
H. The DIP Facility and the transactions contemplated thereby,
including, without limitation, the use of loan proceeds for the purposes set
forth therein and on the attached Schedules and Exhibits, have no intended
effect that is improper under the Bankruptcy Code. The DIP Facility has been
negotiated in good faith and at arm's length between the Debtors and the Lender,
with the consent and support of the Committee, and any credit extended and loans
made to, or for the benefit of, any of the Debtors by the Lender, including,
without limitation, the Loans, shall be deemed to have been extended and made in
good faith within the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and
therefore entitled to the protections of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
I. The terms of the DIP Facility are fair, reasonable and
adequate under the circumstances.
J. The relief requested in the Motion, including approval of the
Loans on a final basis, is in the best interests of the Debtors and their
respective creditors and estates, and is necessary to the continued operations
and successful reorganization of the Debtors.
For all of the foregoing findings of fact, and after due deliberation
and sufficient cause appearing therefor, the Court ORDERS, ADJUDGES AND DECREES
THAT:
1. The Motion is granted.
2. The DIP Facility, annexed hereto as Exhibit A, and each of the
other Loan Documents, the Waiver and Consent, and the Escrow Agreement (each as
defined in the Motion) are authorized and approved and the Debtors are (a)
authorized to execute, if not previously executed, and deliver to the Lender
each of the Loan Documents including, without limitation, the DIP Facility, and
authorized to execute, if not previously executed, and deliver to the
4
administrative agent under the Existing DIP Facility, the Waiver and Consent and
the Escrow Agreement thereunder and (b) authorized to comply with their
respective obligations under each of the Loan Documents and such Waiver and
Consent and the Escrow Agreement. Each of the Debtors is authorized to effect
all actions, to execute and deliver all agreements, instruments, and documents
and to pay all present and future fees, costs, expenses, and taxes which may be
required, necessary, or appropriate for the complete performance of its Loan
Obligations under the DIP Facility and each of the other Loan Documents,
including the Notes. The Debtors are authorized to cooperate and comply with any
reasonable requests as made by the Lender under the terms of the DIP Facility.
3. All amounts provided for in the DIP Facility (up to an
aggregate amount of $35,000,000) are to be available for the purposes provided
in the DIP Facility, which purposes are not be improper under the Bankruptcy
Code. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely as provided in the DIP
Facility.
4. The DIP Facility and each of the Loan Documents, respectively,
shall constitute and evidence the valid and binding Obligations of each of the
Debtors, which obligations shall be enforceable against each of the Debtors in
accordance with their terms and the terms of this Order.
5. Except with respect to the pledge of the equity interest in
outstanding capital stock of L/Q Licensee, Inc., the pledges of, liens on, and
security interests in, the Collateral (which expressly excludes the Excluded
Assets and the $250,000 of cash collateral of the Borrower that will be subject
to the Commitment Fee Lien (as defined in the Motion)) granted by the Debtors as
security for their obligations under the Loan Documents are approved in all
respects. The Collateral does not include the Avoidance Actions.
5
6. The Debtors agree that no cost or expense which is incurred by
the Debtors in connection with or on account of the preservation or disposition
of any Collateral or which otherwise could be chargeable to the Lender or the
Collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, shall
be chargeable to Lender or the Collateral without the consent of the Lender
absent prior authorization from the Court.
7. As security for the full and complete repayment, performance
and satisfaction of the Debtors' Loan obligations arising under the DIP
Facility, the Lender is hereby granted, effective immediately and without the
necessity of the execution by the Debtors or the Lender, or filing or
recordation by any party, of financing statements, mortgages, security
agreements, or otherwise, pursuant to sections 364(c)(2) and 364(c)(3) of the
Bankruptcy Code, first priority perfected liens on and security interests in all
of the Collateral (which expressly excludes the Excluded Assets and the $250,000
of cash collateral of the Borrower that will be subject to the Commitment Fee
Lien (as defined in the Motion)), subject and subordinate to Permitted Liens and
subject to the repayment of the Loans and the payment of the Commitment Fee (as
defined in the Existing DIP Facility) under the Existing DIP Facility.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Lender may, in its sole discretion,
file or cause the Debtors to file at the sole expense of the Debtors, such
financing statements, mortgages, notices of liens, or similar documents or
instruments or otherwise confirm perfection of such liens, security interests,
and mortgages as the Lender may require, and the automatic stay imposed under
section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed modified for such purposes,
and all such financing statements, mortgages, notices of liens, or similar
documents or instruments shall be deemed to have been filed or recorded at the
time and on the date of entry of this Order. In addition, the Obligations under
the DIP Facility are entitled, pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code to administrative priority with priority over all other administrative
expenses, including chapter 7
6
administrative expenses, which super-priority administrative claims (i) shall be
subordinated to the Wind-Down Costs only to the extent of the Wind Down Funds
and (ii) shall not be paid from the Avoidance Actions or any monies or other
property of any kind received therefrom or recovered in connection therewith.
8. The security interests in and liens on the Collateral granted
to the Lender hereunder shall not be, in right of payment or priority,
subordinated to, or pari passu with, any security interest or lien granted
pursuant to section 364(c), 364(d), 546(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise,
other than Permitted Liens and the Commitment Fee Lien.
9. The Debtors are (a) authorized to execute and deliver to the
Lender any and all nonmaterial amendments to the DIP Facility as approved by the
Lender and the Debtors, without further order of the Court, and (b) authorized
to comply with their respective obligations under any such amendment or
amendments.
10. Subject to the provisions of the DIP Facility, the automatic
stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are modified to the extent
necessary to permit the Lender to exercise, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and the giving of written notice thereof, all rights and remedies
provided for in the DIP Facility and this Order; provided that such remedies may
not be exercised until expiration of the Standstill Period as provided in the
DIP Facility. The Standstill Period starts upon the delivery of the Lender's
written notice of termination and acceleration.
11. The provisions of this Order shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Lender, the Debtors, and their respective successors and
assigns including, without limitation, any trustee hereinafter appointed for any
of the estates of any of the Debtors.
12. If any or all of the provisions of this Order or the DIP
Facility are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated, or stayed by subsequent
order of this Court or by any other
7
court, such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay shall not affect the
validity of any obligation to the Lender that is or was incurred by any of the
Debtors pursuant to this Order and that is or was incurred prior to the
effective date of such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay, and shall not
affect the validity and enforceability of any security interest, lien, or
priority authorized, created, or granted by this Order or the DIP Facility, and
notwithstanding such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay, any obligations
of the Debtors pursuant to this Order or the DIP Facility arising prior to the
effective date of such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay shall be
governed in all respects by the provisions of this Order and the DIP Facility,
and the validity of any such obligation incurred, or security interest or lien
authorized, shall be entitled to the protection accorded by section 364(e) of
the Bankruptcy Code.
13. The failure of the Lender to seek relief or otherwise exercise
their rights and remedies under the DIP Facility or this Order shall not
constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Lender hereunder, thereunder, or
otherwise.
14. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of (i) the DIP Facility, any Loan Document, or any order of this
Court entered prior to or on the date hereof, and (ii) this Order, the
provisions of the DIP Facility shall govern and control.
15. The DIP Facility and this Order are binding upon the parties
to the DIP Facility and their respective successors and assigns.
16. To the extent any of the foregoing findings of fact constitute
conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent any of the foregoing
conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.
17. The Debtors are hereby authorized to pay up to $10,000 to LQP
to reimburse LQP for its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the LQP Pledge.
