-38-
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 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 9.9, 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, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. 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, 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
-39-
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.
(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 |
-40-
| 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 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. |

(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; |
-41-
| (ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any 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 thereunder, directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, 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 it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it 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.
(d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to 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
-42-
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 relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

In the 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 percent equity interest; and that Loral is the beneficial owner of the shares. Under this agreement, the Borrower is obligated 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.
3. In addition to the Subsidiaries listed in Attachment 1 hereto, the Borrower holds indirectly through non-debtor Subsidiaries a 16.7 percent equity interest in Globalstar Canada Holding Co. (“GCHC”) and a 23.3 percent equity interest in Globalstar Canada Co. (“GCC”).
4. The Borrower’s indirect Subsidiary, ATSS Canada, Inc., is a 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 subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications Ltd. owns the remaining 49.9 percent. Section 3.5 of the Shareholders’ Agreement provides each of the two shareholders a Right of First Offer (as such term is defined in such Shareholders’ Agreement) in the event that the other shareholder proposes to transfer any shares held or owned beneficially by it.

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 and Development Contract, respectively. 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. See Attachment for Schedule of Intellectual Property.

ORDER PURSUANT TO (A) SECTION 364(c) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE
AND BANKRUPTCY RULE 4001 AUTHORIZING DEBTORS TO OBTAIN SECURED
POSTPETITION FINANCING, AND (B) SECTION 363(b) OF THE BANKRUPTCY
CODE APPROVING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
A hearing having been held on January 30, 2003 (the “Hearing”) to consider the motion, dated January 14, 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 (A) 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, dated as of January , 2003, by and among Globalstar, as borrower, the subsidiaries of Globalstar, party thereto, as guarantors, and New Valley Corporation, the lender party thereto (the “Lender”) (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “DIP Facility”),1 and authorizing the Debtors to obtain under the DIP Facility postpetition loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000 (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 (in each

Ex. C-1
case, other the Wind-Down Funds and the Avoidance Actions, each as defined in paragraph 4 below, and FCC licenses), 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. (subject to approval by the bankruptcy court in the case of Loral/QUALCOMM Partnership, L.P.) and (c) all proceeds of sale of the 2GHz license (and other 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 (except that the Lender’s claims (i) shall be subordinate to the Wind-Down Costs (as defined in paragraph 4, below) but only to the extent of the Wind-Down Funds and (ii) shall not be satisfied from the Avoidance Actions), and (B) approving, pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, certain provisions of the Investment Agreement among Globalstar, New Valley Corporation, and the Committee annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the “Investment Agreement”); and the Court having considered the Motion and the Exhibits thereto, the DIP Facility and the Schedules and Exhibits thereto, and the Investment Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits thereto; and the appearances of all interest 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. §§ 157 and 1334. Consideration of this Motion is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b). Venue of this proceeding is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
Ex. C-2
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 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. Prior to and since the Petition Date, the Debtors, together with their advisors, have sought to obtain additional capital. In connection therewith, and over the past 7 months, the Debtors and their advisors engaged in an extensive marketing and capital raising effort and engaged in discussions and negotiations with a number of potential investors. After due deliberation, and with the support of the statutory committee of unsecured creditors (the “Committee”), the Debtors accepted the Lender’s bid for an investment to be implemented through a plan of reorganization and agreed to seek Court approval of the DIP Facility and certain provisions of the Investment Agreement.
E. Section 4.6 of the Investment Agreement (the “No Talk Provision”) provides that, among other things, from the date of Court approval of such provision until termination of the Investment Agreement, neither the Debtors nor the Committee (or persons acting on their behalf) will solicit offers, inquiries or proposals that would render impossible or
Ex. C-3
impracticable the transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement or accept, agree to, or in any way further any such offer, inquiry or proposal. Section 7.4 of the Investment Agreement provides, among other things, for the payment of $2 million plus actual documented expenses reasonably incurred by the Lender (the “Termination Fee”) in the event the Lender terminates the Investment Agreement upon the occurrence of a New Valley Termination Event not caused by New Valley. Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Investment Agreement set forth certain termination events and the effect thereof. Section 7.3 of the DIP Facility provides, among other things, that, in the event of a termination by Lender of the Investment Agreement and an acceleration follows a Lender Termination Event not caused by the Lender, the Lender will receive (i) a warrant to purchase 10% of the successor to the Debtors’ business at the lower of the reorganized value of such entity or a $110 million post-transaction valuation or (ii) to the extent that the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates receive consideration other than the Stock of New Globalstar (or the successor to the Debtors’ business) in connection with the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, 10% of all consideration received by the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates in excess of $110,000,000 (the “Commitment Fee”).
F. The Debtors do not possess sufficient unencumbered cash to manage and operate their business without further loans or credit. An immediate need exists for the Debtors to obtain funds in order to continue operations and administer their estates under the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are incurring significant operating losses and cannot continue to fund these losses from their cash reserves without significantly increasing the risk that they will have insufficient funds to pursue an orderly winding down of the estates. In addition, absent postpetition financing, the Debtors have insufficient available funds to fund the costs and expenses of their chapter 11 cases until confirmation of a chapter 11 plan. Absent postpetition
Ex. C-4
financing, the Debtors and their estates will be faced with the prospect of the commencement of the immediate liquidation of their assets and wind down of their estates and thereby will suffer immediate and irreparable harm. The transaction contemplated by the DIP Facility and the Investment Agreement represent the only viable alternative to the Debtors to continue operating their business as a going concern and to emerge from these cases through confirmation of a plan of reorganization.
G. The Debtors have been unsuccessful in their attempts to obtain postpetition financing from sources other than the Lender on terms more favorable to the Debtors than the financing made available under the DIP Facility. The Debtors have been unable to 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.
H. The availability of funding under the DIP Facility to finance the Debtors’ business operations and their chapter 11 cases through confirmation of a plan of reorganization that implements the Investment Agreement is in the best interests of the Debtors and their respective creditors and estates because the DIP Facility does not significantly increase the risk of administrative insolvency (as a result of the Lender’s agreement to the carve-outs from the lien and priority granted hereunder) .
I. 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
Ex. C-5
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.
J. The Lender is not in the business of making loans, but instead has agreed to provide the financing in the DIP Facility for the sole purpose of consummating the Investment Agreement and related transactions. The Lender would not provide financing to the Debtors without appropriate assurance that the Investment Agreement and related transactions will be consummated.
K. As a condition to the funding of the DIP Facility, the Lender has required that the Debtors obtain approval of the Select Investment Agreement Provisions (i.e., Sections 4.6, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of the Investment Agreement, which include the No Talk Provision and the Termination Fee), in addition to the DIP Facility. Because of the urgent need to obtain funding, the Debtors’ decision to enter into the DIP Facility and to agree to the Select Investment Agreement Provisions is supported by a sound business purpose and represents an exercise of the Debtors’ sound business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties. The investment as contemplated by the Investment Agreement is being made on fair and reasonable terms and has been negotiated in good faith and arm’s length, and has no intended effect that is improper under the Bankruptcy Code.
L. Also as a condition to the funding of the DIP Facility, the Lender has required that the Committee be bound by the No Talk Provision. Because of the Debtors’ urgent need to obtain funding, the Committee’s agreement to be bound to the No Talk Provision
Ex. C-6
represents an exercise of the Committee’s sound business judgment consistent with its fiduciary duties.
M. The terms of the DIP Facility and the Select Investment Agreement Provisions (including the No Talk Provision and the Termination Fee) are fair, reasonable and adequate under the circumstances.
N. The relief requested in the Motion, including approval of the Loans, 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 are authorized and approved in all respects 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 (b) authorized to comply with their respective obligations under each of the Loan Documents. 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 of $20 million) are to be available for the purposes provided in the DIP Facility, which purposes shall
Ex. C-7
not be improper under the Bankruptcy Code. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely by the Debtors 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 the outstanding capital stock of L/Q Licensee, Inc. (which requires approval of the bankruptcy court in the chapter 11 case of Loral/QUALCOMM Partnership, L.P.), the pledges of, liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral granted by the Debtors as security for their obligations under the Loan Documents are approved in all respects. The Collateral does not include (i) cash-on-hand as of the date hereof (which shall be segregated) (the “Wind-Down Funds”), which shall be available to the Debtors in an amount necessary to pay allowed administrative expenses in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases and actual wind-down costs (together, the “Wind-Down Costs”) if the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are not consummated and the Debtors liquidate and (ii) claims and causes of action arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or the proceeds thereof or monies or property recovered therefrom or the proceeds thereof (the “Avoidance Actions”).
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.
Ex. C-8
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 lien on and security interests in all of the Collateral, subject and subordinate to Permitted Liens. 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 except that the Lender’s administrative expense claims (i) shall be subordinated to the Wind-Down Costs but only to the extent of the Wind-Down Funds and (ii) shall not be satisfied from the Avoidance Actions.
8. The security interests and liens 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.
Ex. C-9
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 a Lender Termination Event, 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 for (a) five business days (with respect to a Lender Termination Event that is a New Valley Termination Event set forth in Section 7.2(a)(ix) of the Investment Agreement), (b) 60 days (with respect to a Lender Termination Event that is a New Valley Termination Event set forth in Section 7.2(a)(x) of the Investment Agreement), (c) 60 days, with respect to any other Lender Termination Event other than a QUALCOMM Related Termination Event, or (d) 120 days, with respect to a QUALCOMM Related Termination Event. In each case, the relevant standstill period starts upon the delivery of the Lender’s written notice of termination and acceleration, except that in the case of clause (b) above, the relevant standstill period starts upon New Valley delivering notice under Section 7.2(a)(x) of the Investment Agreement.
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
Ex. C-10
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 to the protection accorded by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
13. Without limiting the foregoing, the Select Investment Agreement Provisions (i.e., Sections 4.6, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of the Investment Agreement) and the Commitment Fee are approved.
14. The Debtors are authorized to pay LQP’s fees in connection with its pledge of capital stock of L/Q Licensee, Inc.
15. The Lender’s failure to seek relief or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under the DIP Facility or this Order shall not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights hereunder, thereunder, or otherwise.
16. 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.
Ex. C-11
17. 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.
