Following the Contribution Date, New Globalstar shall be responsible for and pay all obligations of the Globalstar Entities under the Assumed Contracts, and to the extent provided in Section 1.6, Rejected Contracts, that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors' business after the Petition Date and relate to periods following the Petition Date and are to be observed, paid, discharged, or performed, as the case may be, in each case, at any time after the Petition Date, but only to the extent that such obligations would be entitled to allowance as administrative expenses under Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code;

On the Contribution Date, following the assumption of Assumed Liabilities by GS Holdings described above, New Globalstar shall assume from GS Holdings and thereafter pay, perform, and discharge in accordance with their terms, the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 1.5 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for the Assumed Liabilities, none of the Acquirors or their Affiliates shall assume, or in any way be liable or responsible for, any liabilities, commitments, or obligations, whether known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, absolute, contingent, inchoate, fixed or otherwise, of any of the Debtors (the "Excluded Liabilities"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Acquirors or their Affiliates shall assume, and the Debtors shall remain fully responsible for, the following liabilities, commitments, or obligations, whether known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, absolute, contingent, fixed or otherwise (all of which shall be Excluded Liabilities):

(a) any liabilities, commitments or obligations that arose with respect to the Debtors' business or Assets or the use thereof prior to the Petition Date including without limitation (i) any liabilities that result from, relate to or arise out of tort or other product liability claims, and (ii) any liability, commitment or obligation of, or required to be paid by, any of the Debtors for any Taxes of any kind arising prior to the Petition Date;

(b) except as provided in Section 1.6, any liability or obligation of any kind under any contract or agreement, written or oral, that is not an Assumed Contract, including the obligations arising under any Contract added to Exhibit 1.3(a);

(c) any liabilities, commitments or obligations that arose with respect to the Assets or the use thereof following the Petition Date other than in the ordinary course of business (or pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court); and

(d) any liabilities or obligations under the Jefferies Agreement other than as specifically set forth in Section 1.4(i).

Except for the Assumed Liabilities, none of the Acquirors or their Affiliates shall assume, and the Globalstar Entities shall retain and discharge when due, all other obligations and liabilities of the Globalstar Entities.

Section 1.6 Assumption and Rejection of Contracts. Between the date of this Agreement and the Interest Acquisition Date, Thermo, by written notice to Globalstar (a "Rejection Notice"), may add to Exhibit 1.3(a), and thereby request the Debtors to reject, any pre-Petition Date Contract to which any Debtor is a party (a "Rejected Contract"); provided that (a) there shall be no adjustment to the consideration received by the Debtors as a result thereof, and (b) New Globalstar shall remain responsible for any liability for goods and services provided under such Rejected Contract during the period commencing on the Petition Date and ending on the day an order is approved by the Bankruptcy Court rejecting the Rejected Contract, whether before or after the Interest Acquisition Date, but only to the extent that such liability arose in the ordinary course of the Debtors' business post-petition and would be entitled to allowance as an administrative expense under Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Debtors consent to the rejection of a Rejected Contract identified in a Rejection Notice (which consent shall be deemed granted on the Interest Acquisition Date for all Rejected Contracts not previously consented to), the Debtors will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek an order of the Bankruptcy Court rejecting the Rejected Contract as soon as practicable after receipt of the related Rejection Notice; provided, however, that (x) the Debtors need not seek rejection prior to the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing date in the Bankruptcy Case that is at least 23 calendar days after receipt of such Rejection Notice; (y) if the

scheduling of a hearing to reject a Rejected Contract on the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing date at least 23 calendar days from the Rejection Notice will result in a material liability to the Debtors, the Debtors will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the hearing to reject such Rejected Contract heard at the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing date that is less than 23 calendar days from the receipt of the Rejection Notice or to have the order approving the rejection of such Rejected Contract provide that the rejection is to be effective prior to the hearing related thereto; and (z) if the Debtors do not consent to the rejection of a Rejected Contract, the Debtors will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order rejecting such Rejected Contract conditioned upon the Interest Acquisition Date. Any Contract listed on Exhibit 1.3(a) (originally or by addition) shall cease to constitute an Assumed Contract for all purposes of this Agreement and any pre-Petition Date liability arising under such Contract shall be an Excluded Liability. On the Interest Acquisition Date, the Debtors will assign to New Globalstar, and New Globalstar will assume, any pre-Petition Date Contract, and subject to Section 6.4(b) any post-Petition Date Contract, that is not listed on Exhibit 1.3(a) as of the Interest Acquisition Date, and the liabilities arising under such contract shall constitute Assumed Liabilities. Upon request of Thermo and at Thermo's expense, the Debtors shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Acquirors in their efforts to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions of adequate assurance of future payment or performance, and assumption or modification of any of the Assumed Contracts with the parties to such Contracts.

Section 1.7 Assignment of Revenue and Expense of Licensees. From and after the Contribution Date, each Licensee shall assign to New Globalstar all of its revenue arising on and after the Contribution Date and prior to the Interest Acquisition Date, and promptly pay to New Globalstar all funds received with respect thereto, and New Globalstar shall assume and pay when due all expenses of each Licensee arising on and after the Contribution Date and prior to the Interest Acquisition Date, all as provided in the Management Agreement.

Section 3.2 Ownership of Subsidiaries.

(a) Globalstar does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other equity securities of any corporation or have any direct or indirect equity or ownership interest in any other Person, other than the Subsidiaries of Globalstar.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Globalstar Entities do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions by the Globalstar Entities will not, in each case, (i) conflict with or violate the certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation of limited liability company, limited liability company agreement, certificate of incorporation, bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of the Globalstar Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable (as they may be amended or adopted with the prior consent of Thermo pursuant to the Sale Order, as applicable), (ii) subject to the approval by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), conflict with or violate any Law or order, judgment, injunction or decree applicable to the Globalstar Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or by which any property or asset of any Globalstar Entity or any of its respective Subsidiaries is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or violate or result in a breach or default under any contract, agreement or instrument binding upon the Globalstar Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries (excluding contracts, agreements and instruments that have been or will be rejected in connection with the Chapter 11 Case), except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Globalstar Entities do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions by the Globalstar Entities will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except (i) for (A) the applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), (B) the applicable notification requirements, if any, of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "HSR Act"), and (C) the applicable notification or approval requirements, if any, of the FCC, the United States Department of Defense (the "DoD"), the Department of Homeland Security (the "DHS"), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the "FBI"), and the United States Department of Justice (the "DoJ") and (ii) where the failure to obtain any such consent, approval, authorization or permit, or to make any such filing or notification, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.4 SEC Documents. Globalstar has timely filed, and on the Interest Acquisition Date will have timely filed, all forms, reports and documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") since January 1, 2002. All SEC Filings, as of their respective dates, (a) complied, or will comply, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (b) did not, and will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representation and warranty in the preceding sentence does not apply to (a) any misstatement or omission in (i) any SEC Filing filed prior to the date of this Agreement that was superseded by a subsequent SEC Filing filed prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) any SEC Filing filed after the date of this Agreement that is superseded by a subsequent SEC Filing filed prior to the Contribution Date or (b) any financial forecasts or projections included in the SEC Filings.

absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments). As of the time of the filing of any relevant SEC Filing, to the Knowledge of Globalstar and its Subsidiaries, the financial forecasts or projections included in such SEC Filing (as qualified and limited in the SEC Filing) were made by management of Globalstar in good faith and on a reasonable basis, except for any failure to make the financial forecasts or projections in good faith and on a reasonable basis that would not have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect. No Subsidiary of Globalstar is currently required to file any periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

Section 3.5 No Changes. Since the date of the last SEC Filing, through the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, (a) neither Globalstar nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action described in any of clauses (a) through (i) of the last sentence of Section 5.1, and (b) no Globalstar Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Section 3.6 Title to Assets. At the Contribution Date, the Globalstar Entities will convey to GS Holdings title to the Assets (except as otherwise provided herein), free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens and Assumed Liabilities. Immediately after the Contribution Date, the Assets so conveyed and the assets of any Subsidiaries of Globalstar that become Subsidiaries of New Globalstar as a result of the transactions to be effectuated on the Contribution Date shall be free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens and Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.7 Globalstar FCC Licenses. The Globalstar Disclosure Schedule lists all of the Globalstar FCC Licenses together with the owner of each Globalstar FCC License. No party other than the party designated on the Globalstar Disclosure Schedule (each a "Globalstar License Entity") has any right, claim or interest in or to any Globalstar FCC License. Each Globalstar FCC License has been validly issued and is validly held in the name of the applicable Globalstar License Entity, is in full force and effect and has been granted by final order of the FCC. Except for proceedings affecting the satellite services industry generally, there is not pending, nor to the knowledge of Globalstar, threatened against Globalstar or against any Globalstar FCC License, nor is Globalstar aware of any basis for, any application, action, petition, objection or other pleading, or any proceeding with the FCC or any other Governmental Entity which questions or contests the validity of, or seeks the revocation, forfeiture, non-renewal or suspension of, any Globalstar FCC License, which seeks the imposition of any modification or amendment with respect thereto, or which would adversely affect the ability of New Globalstar to employ any Globalstar FCC License in its business after the Interest Acquisition Date or seeks the payment of a fine, sanction, penalty, damages or contribution in connection with the use of any Globalstar FCC License. Each Globalstar FCC License is unimpaired by any acts or omissions of the license holders. All material documents required to be filed at any time by each Globalstar License Entity with the FCC or other Governmental Entity pursuant to applicable Law with respect to each Globalstar FCC License has been filed or the time period for such filing has not lapsed. All such documents filed since the date that such Globalstar FCC License was issued or transferred to the Globalstar License Entity are correct in all material respects. No Globalstar FCC License is subject to any conditions other than those appearing on the face of such Globalstar FCC License and those imposed by applicable Law upon licenses or the industry generally. Each Globalstar License Entity complies and, since the filing of its initial application to acquire each Globalstar FCC License has complied, in all material respects with all applicable Laws, including (a) the rules, regulations and policies pertaining to eligibility to hold Licenses in general, and (b) the rules, regulations and policies governing p and restricting foreign ownership of radio licenses. Each Globalstar License Entity is in compliance with all terms and conditions of, and all its obligations under, each Globalstar FCC License.

To the Knowledge of any Globalstar Entity, (i) no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or component, or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, in the ordinary course of business by the Globalstar Entities or any of their Subsidiaries infringes upon or conflicts with any rights owned by any other Person, except where any such infringement or conflict, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) as of the date of this Agreement, no material claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened.

(b) No Globalstar Entity owns any material Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights or has any material Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights registered in, or the subject of pending applications in, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof. The registrations for the Intellectual Property are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect to the extent they are necessary for the operation of the business of such Globalstar Entity and material to the assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or prospects to the Globalstar Entities taken as a whole, except where the failure to maintain a valid and subsisting registration with respect to such collateral, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect. None of the material Patents or Copyrights necessary for the operation of the business of such Globalstar Entity in the reasonable business judgment of such Globalstar Entity have been abandoned or dedicated, except where such abandonment or dedication, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Globalstar Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.9 No Brokers.

("Jefferies") as its financial advisor.

The consummation of the Contemplated Transactions pursuant to the Sale Order will not create or constitute a default or an event of default under any of the Material Contracts which are Assumed Contracts.

Section 3.15 Bring-Down of Bankruptcy Disclosure Schedules. The Globalstar Disclosure Schedule sets forth information with respect to the Debtors that would have been required to be set forth on schedules B and G pursuant to section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Official Bankruptcy Forms if the Debtors were to have commenced the Chapter 11 Case on the date specified in the Globalstar Disclosure Schedule rather than the date on which they were actually commenced, and, to the Knowledge of the Globalstar Entities, such information is true, correct and complete in all material respects. None of the Globalstar Entities owns any real property.

Except to the extent caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or breach of this Agreement by the Globalstar Entities or any of their respective employees, agents, or contractors, Thermo shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Globalstar Entities from and against any and all claims asserted against or incurred by the Globalstar Entities arising out of any act or failure to act of Thermo or its employees, agents, or contractors in connection with any inspection by Thermo or access to the offices, assets (including the Assets) and properties of the Globalstar Entities.

The Globalstar Entities shall provide the Acquirors with such Tax information and copies of such Tax Returns (in each case, relating to the Assets or the operation of the business of the Globalstar Entities and including, without limitation, the consolidated federal income tax return for 2001 and 2002) as either of them may reasonably request, reasonably promptly after such request.

Section 5.6 Certain Prohibitions. Except to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of applicable Laws or Bankruptcy Court orders, from the Contribution Date to the Interest Acquisition Date, no Party will take, or agree or commit to take any action that would result in, or is reasonably likely to result in, any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or Article VIII not being satisfied.

Section 5.7 Employment Matters.

(a) From time to time from the Contribution Date to the Interest Acquisition Date, New Globalstar (as directed by Thermo) may notify the Globalstar Entities of the names of any employees engaged in the operation of the business of the Globalstar Entities (the "Business Employees") that New Globalstar wishes to hire (a "Retainee Notice"). From and after the receipt of a Retainee Notice, each Globalstar Entity shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to retain each employee that is listed on the Retainee Notice through the earlier of the Interest Acquisition Date and the date such Person is hired by New Globalstar. Each of New Globalstar and Thermo acknowledges and agrees that the Globalstar Entities retain the right to terminate or otherwise alter the terms of employment of all Business Employees other than those whose names are contained in a Retainee Notice; provided that the Globalstar Entities shall not terminate (other than for cause) any employee covered by the Employee Severance Plan without Thermo's prior written consent. The Globalstar Entities have heretofore delivered to New Globalstar and Thermo a written list (the "Employee List") which sets forth (x) the names of each Business Employee employed by the respective Seller Entity and describes the relevant details of each Business Employee's employment with such Seller Entity, including the Business Employee's position, brief job description, work location, annual base salary or wage rate, any unused paid vacation, personal or sick leave, most recent annual bonus, and commencement date of employment, as well as each such Business Employee's current employment status (e.g., active, leave of absence, short term disability), and (y) the amount each Business Employee shall receive (i) under the Employee Severance Plan or such Seller Entity's other employment policies currently in force in the event such Business Employee's employment with such Seller Entity is terminated other than for cause, and (ii) under the Employee Retention Plan and any other "stay bonus" or similar program, if any.

The Employee List shall be updated during regular intervals between the date hereof and the Interest Acquisition Date, and the Globalstar Entities shall provide a final Employee List to New Globalstar and Thermo on the Interest Acquisition Date.

(b) From and after the Contribution Date, the Globalstar Entities shall permit New Globalstar and Thermo to communicate orally or in writing with the Business Employees who are on a Retainee Notice regarding its plans, operations, business, customer relations, and general personnel matters. New Globalstar may offer employment to, and hire, Business Employees whose names appear on a Retainee Notice, all such hires to be effective as of the Interest Acquisition Date. For purposes of this Agreement, a Business Employee who is hired by New Globalstar shall be referred to as a "Transferred Employee."

(c) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and the Management Agreement, the Globalstar Entities shall retain the responsibility for all liabilities relating to compensation earned by a Business Employee for the provision of services to the Globalstar Entities on or before the date such Employee becomes a Transferred Employee, excluding amounts due under the Employee Severance Plan, the Employee Retention Plan, and the Loral Pension Plan.

(d) New Globalstar shall recognize all accrued, but unused, paid vacation leave earned by a Transferred Employee under a vacation policy of a Globalstar Entity for purposes of New Globalstar's vacation policy to the extent that such earned or paid vacation leave is described in the Employee List. New Globalstar shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket costs paid during the plan year in which the Interest Acquisition occurs by a Transferred Employee under a compensation or benefit plan which provides accident or healthcare coverage shall be credited against any deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket costs required to be paid under an accident or healthcare plan made available to the Transferred Employee by New Globalstar.

(e) No provision of this Section 5.7 shall create any rights in any individual who is not a Party, including any employee, former employee or Business Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of any Globalstar Entity or of any of their Affiliates. Further, this Section 5.7 shall not create any right to continued employment or service (or resumed employment or service) with the Globalstar Entities or their Affiliates, New Globalstar or Thermo, or their Affiliates with respect to any employee, independent contractor or consultant, and no provision of this Section 5.7 shall create any rights in any Person with respect to any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any compensation or benefit plan or any plan or arrangement that may be established by New Globalstar or any of its Affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on New Globalstar's or any of its Affiliates' rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Interest Acquisition Date any plans or arrangements sponsored or maintained by New Globalstar or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.8 Non-Solicitation/Non-Disclosure. From the Contribution Date until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX (the "Non-Solicitation Period"), the Globalstar Entities and the Committee shall not solicit, enter into or agree to enter into any transaction involving the purchase or sale of any equity in or material assets of the Seller Entities, GS Holdings, New Globalstar or Globalstar Leasing; provided, however, that the Debtors may file this Agreement and any document contemplated hereby (the "Transaction Documents") with the SEC, as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K. During the Non-Solicitation Period, neither the Debtors nor the Committee shall provide any party with any confidential information relating to any Seller Entity or any business operated by any Seller Entity other than in the ordinary course of business without the prior written consent of Thermo. If any Person contacts the Debtors or the Committee with a written indication of interest or offer to purchase any equity in or assets of the Seller Entities, GS Holdings, New Globalstar or Globalstar Leasing, then the Debtors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall promptly give to Thermo written notice of the terms and conditions of any proposal made by such Person.

Section 5.9 Additional Matters. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in good faith to obtain all necessary waivers, consents, authorizations and approvals in connection with the Governmental Requirements and to effect all necessary registrations and filings.

Section 5.10 Purchase of DIP Loan by Thermo; Amendment to DIP Loan.

(a) On the Contribution Date, Thermo shall purchase from the DIP Lender all of the DIP Lender's rights and obligations under the DIP Loan, on terms acceptable to Thermo and the DIP Lender. The terms of such purchase shall include a cash payment by Thermo of $10 million (subject to adjustment as provided in the Sale Order) plus accrued interest at the non-default rate, and the issuance by Thermo or an Affiliate of a promissory note for $10 million (subject to adjustment as provided in the Sale Order) (the "Thermo Note"). The Thermo Note shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears and principal and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the first anniversary of the Contribution Date.

(b) The Thermo Note shall be secured by an irrevocable letter of credit obtained by Thermo and issued by a financial institution acceptable to the DIP Lender. When Thermo is required to pay the principal of the Thermo Note, New Globalstar shall pay in full to Thermo all then outstanding principal and interest under the DIP Loan, in accordance with terms of the DIP Loan. If at such time, New Globalstar requires additional funds to pay such principal and interest, Thermo shall make an additional equity investment in New Globalstar in an amount necessary to provide such funds (not to exceed the principal amount of the Thermo Note plus interest accrued thereon). Any such investment shall be subject to the preemptive rights described in the New Globalstar LLC Agreement (as amended and restated on the Interest Acquisition Date), and such investment shall not be credited towards Thermo's obligations set forth in Section 5.14.

(c) On the Contribution Date, following the purchase of the DIP Loan by Thermo, Thermo, GS Holdings, New Globalstar, Globalstar Leasing, and the Debtors and certain of their Subsidiaries shall amend and restate the DIP Loan in the form of Exhibit 2.1(j), which amendment and restatement shall provide for, among other things, (i) the ability for Thermo to make advances as contemplated by Section 5.11, and (ii) the joint and several liability of the Debtors and New Globalstar for all obligations under the DIP Loan.

Section 5.11 Funding of the Operations Pending the Interest Acquisition Date. Between the Contribution Date and the Interest Acquisition Date, Thermo shall provide the necessary funding to New Globalstar to continue its operations and to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement, and to the Debtors to administer the Chapter 11 Case, in each case pursuant to a budget to be agreed upon among Thermo, the Debtors and the Committee prior to the Contribution Date (the "Interim Budget") and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Management Agreement and the DIP Loan. The Interim Budget shall provide for, among other things, the payment of all Assumed Liabilities when due. All funding under this Section 5.11 shall be provided through advances to the New Globalstar pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan and payments by New Globalstar to the Debtors pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement. On the Contribution Date, Thermo shall advance not less than $1.5 million under the DIP Loan. The aggregate amount of cash contributed to New Globalstar by Thermo and GS Holdings and funds advanced by Thermo to New Globalstar under the DIP Loan on the Contribution Date shall be not less than $3 million.

Section 5.12 Preservation of Cash by Debtors. Between the Contribution Date and the Interest Acquisition Date, the Debtors shall preserve all and not disburse any of their Cash on hand as of the Contribution Date or any Cash received after the Contribution Date other than in the ordinary course of business or as authorized by order of the Bankruptcy Court. New Globalstar and the Debtors shall cooperate to arrange for the payment or settlement of the accounts receivable described in Section 1.3(f), with the first $3 million in collections on such accounts receivable to be paid to Globalstar pursuant to Section 1.3(f), in such manner as not to adversely affect the operations of Globalstar Canada Co.

Section 5.13 Conversion of DIP Loan into Equity. On the Interest Acquisition Date, Thermo shall convert all amounts outstanding under the DIP Loan into equity of New Globalstar, except for

the lesser of (i) the principal amount of the Thermo Note and (ii) the balance owed under the DIP Loan by New Globalstar. At such time, Thermo shall release the Debtors from all obligations under the DIP Loan, and all liens on the Debtors' and New Globalstar's assets associated with the DIP Loan shall be released.

Section 5.14 Obligation of Thermo to Fund New Globalstar. During the period commencing with the Contribution Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Interest Acquisition Date, Thermo shall fund New Globalstar, directly or indirectly, with not less than $43 million in cash in the aggregate (with not less than $25 million of such cash to be provided on or before the 160th day following the Interest Acquisition Date, not less than $30 million of such cash to be provided on or before the first anniversary of the Interest Acquisition Date, and not less than $35 million of such cash to be provided on or before the date which is 18 months following the Interest Acquisition Date). Cash provided by Thermo and its Affiliates from all sources shall be credited towards this $43 million obligation, including amounts paid in cash to purchase the DIP Loan as described in Section 5.10(a), amounts advanced by Thermo pursuant to the DIP Loan, and except as provided in the next sentence, amounts contributed by Thermo to GS Holdings and New Globalstar. Cash invested by Thermo or its Affiliates in (a) Globalstar Leasing, (b) GS Holdings to the extent required for the business and operations of GS Holdings and therefore not subsequently contributed to New Globalstar during the two-year period described above or (c) New Globalstar as contemplated by Section 5.10(b) shall not be credited towards this $43 million obligation (or the $25 million obligation). Except for the equity interests expressly provided for in this Agreement or in the New Globalstar LLC Agreement (as amended and restated on the Interest Acquisition Date), Thermo will not receive, directly or indirectly, any equity in the exchange for funding credited towards this $43 million obligation.

Section 5.15 Change of Corporate Names. Each of the Globalstar Entities shall take all necessary action and provide all necessary consents and approvals to New Globalstar, and shall cause all of their Subsidiaries to do the same, for New Globalstar to change its legal name to a name acceptable to Thermo on the Interest Acquisition Date. The Globalstar Entities shall cease using the name "Globalstar" or any derivation thereof on the Interest Acquisition Date or as promptly as practical thereafter consistent with the approval of the Plan and the administration of the Chapter 11 Case.

Section 5.16 Treatment of Debtors' Membership Interest in GS Holdings. After the Interest Acquisition Date, the 1% membership interest in GS Holdings retained by the Debtors shall be held by New Globalstar, as the Debtors' disbursing agent, for the benefit of the Debtors, and shall not be distributed to the Debtors' creditors in connection with the Plan except as provided in the following sentence. If a sale of such 1% membership interest occurs, the disbursing agent shall pay the proceeds of such sale as provided in the Plan.

The Globalstar Entities shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to continue to cooperate with New Globalstar in its efforts to

obtain all Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Globalstar Entities to maintain such Deferred Assets upon any termination of corporate or limited liability existence of such Globalstar Entity occurring after December 31, 2004. Following the receipt of all necessary Regulatory Approvals, but not earlier than the Interest Acquisition Date, the Globalstar Entities promptly shall transfer the Deferred Assets to GS Holdings, which shall immediately thereafter transfer them to New Globalstar. The Globalstar Entities shall not receive any additional equity in GS Holdings or New Globalstar in exchange for such transfers.

(b) To the extent that any Assumed Contract cannot be assigned to and assumed by New Globalstar on the Interest Acquisition Date because, notwithstanding the Sale Order, an approval, consent or waiver of a third party is required for such assignment and assumption (a "Required Consent") and has not been obtained, then (i) such Assumed Contract shall not be assigned and assumed pursuant to Section 1.6 until the receipt of such Required Consent, (ii) the Globalstar Entities shall, at New Globalstar's expense, enter into such agreements and arrangements as reasonably requested by New Globalstar to provide to it the economic benefit (taking into account tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent of the assignment and assumption of such Assumed Contract until such Required Consent is received, and (iii) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Consents as soon as practicable (provided the Globalstar Entities shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in connection therewith which are not reimbursed by Thermo or New Globalstar).

Section 6.5 Cure Claims. On or prior to the later of (i) the Interest Acquisition Date, or (ii) five (5) Business Days after entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the assumption of any Assumed Contract (the "Assumption Order Date") and allowing a cure claim for such Assumed Contract pursuant to Section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether by an agreement among the Parties or following litigation (the "Allowed Cure Claim"), New Globalstar shall pay to, or for the benefit of, the Globalstar Entities the Allowed Cure Claim in immediately available funds.

The Plan will provide that such distribution is made in accordance with Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and that the Debtors shall be liquidated and dissolved promptly after the Plan Effective Date.

These contributions shall not result in the issuance of any additional equity to the Debtors.
