4.3

Determination of Closing Amount or Refund Amount

(a)

If the value of the Required Loral Alternative Subscription, determined in accordance with Section 4.2, shall be less than the Remaining Equity Contribution Amount, then, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(b), Loral shall pay to Holdco on the Alternative Subscription Date, an amount in Canadian dollars equal to such difference (the “Closing Amount”).

4.5

Partial Contribution

     In the event that Loral shall be unable, for any reason, to pay the full amount of the Loral Alternative Subscription Amount, Holdco shall issue to Loral Holdings on behalf of Loral, and to T-11N Transferor (if applicable in respect of the T-11N Contribution), Holdco Non-Voting Preferred Shares for such portion thereof actually paid or transferred to Holdco, determined pursuant to Section 4.4, it being agreed that the payment of the full amount of the Loral Alternative Subscription Amount shall not be a condition in favour of any party to the closing of the Loral Alternative Subscription.

4.6

Payment in Lieu of Dividends

     On the Alternative Subscription Date, Holdco shall pay to Loral Holdings and the T-11N Transferor, an amount equal to any dividends that would have been paid to Loral Holdings and the T-11N Transferor if the shares issuable to Loral Holdings and the T-11N Transferor pursuant to Section 4.4 had been issued to Loral Holdings and the T-11N Transferor on the date of the Telesat Closing and had been outstanding from the date of the Telesat Closing.
