following the delivery to the Investors of the Company's audited financial

Action for breach thereof (except to the extent a written notice asserting
a Claim for breach of any such representation or warranty has been given
prior to such date to the party which made such representation or warranty,
in which case such representation or warranty will survive, to the extent
of such Claim only, until such Claim is resolved). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02
of this Agreement will survive each of the Initial Closing and the
Subsequent Closing forever, and (ii) the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 3.09 and 3.11 will survive each of the

and in the Transaction Documents will survive each of the Initial Closing

limitations or such earlier times as expressly set forth in this Agreement
or such Transaction Document.
(b) The Company and ORBCOMM LLC jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each of their affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against (and will
reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of any claim made by a Convertible Noteholder against the
Indemnified Party arising from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection with such claim).
12.02 Limitations on Liability.
(a) Certain Limitations. (i) No party will be entitled to any
recovery from any other party unless a Claim specifying the factual basis
of that Claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known, is made on or
before the expiration of time period for survival set forth in Section
12.01; and (ii) damages to any party hereunder will be decreased by
insurance proceeds or payments from any other responsible parties actually
received by such party (after deducting costs and expenses incurred in
connection with recovery of such proceeds) and will be increased to take
account of any net tax cost incurred by the party from whom a recovery is
sought arising from the receipt of payments hereunder (grossed up for such
increase).
(b) Limitation on Amount - the Investors. The Investors will not
be entitled to recover any amounts (i) for any breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company, ORBCOMM LLC or any Transaction Document or
(ii) for any breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the
Company hereunder or in any Transaction Document unless and until the
amount by which the aggregate amount that the Investors would be entitled
to recover in respect of such Claims exceeds $500,000 (the "Threshold"), in
which event the Investor shall be entitled to recover the entire amount in
respect of such Claims together with reasonable actual legal fees and
expenses; provided, however, that the maximum amount recoverable by an
Investor in respect of any such claims hereunder will not, in the
aggregate, exceed the purchase price for the Convertible Notes and Shares
paid by such Investor and provided further, however, that individual
unrelated Claims less than $50,000 may not be aggregated for purposes of
reaching the Threshold. The limitations set forth in this Section 12.02(b)
shall not apply to the provisions of Section 12.01(b).
(c) Limitation on Amount - the Company. The Company will not be
entitled to recover any amounts (i) for any breach of any representation or
warranty made by any Investor in this Agreement or in any Transaction
Document or (ii) for any breach of any covenant, agreement or other
obligation of any Investor in this Agreement or in any
44
Convertible Note and Stock Purchase Agreement
Transaction Document unless and until the amount by which the Company is
entitled to recover in respect of such Claims exceeds $500,000 ("the
Company Threshold") in which event the entire amount in respect of such
Claims will be payable together with its reasonable actual legal fees and
expenses; provided, however, that the maximum amount recoverable from any
Investor in respect of any such claims hereunder will not exceed the
purchase price for the Shares paid by such Investor; provided further,
however, that individual unrelated Claims less than $50,000 may not be
aggregated for purposes of reaching the Company Threshold.
(d) Limitation on Liability. Under no circumstances shall any
party hereunder (or any of their Affiliates or Representatives) be liable
to any other party (or any of their Affiliates or Representatives) for
incidental, special or consequential damages of any kind, including lost
profits, loss of business, damages to reputation whether in contract, tort
or otherwise.
(e) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section
13.12 and except for fraud, the indemnification provisions of this Article
XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each party (i) for any breach
of the other party's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement or (ii) otherwise with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the (a) Supreme Court of the State of New York, New

and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by
U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 13.02 will

or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents or the Transaction in the courts of the State of New York or the
United States of America located in the City of New York, and hereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any
such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court

accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State
without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
13.05 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this
Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay
by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or
the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To
the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) no Claim or right arising out of this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents can be discharged by one party, in whole
or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the Claim or right unless in writing
signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given and will not

deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the
party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or

terminated and the observance of any term of or condition in this Agreement may
be waived with respect to all parties to this Agreement (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the
written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of
any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the
written consent of such Investor unless such amendment, termination or waiver
applies to all Investors in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt
written notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any
party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or
waiver. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 13.07 shall be binding on all parties hereto, even if they do not
execute such consent. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or
provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to
be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition
or provision.
13.08 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement or any Transaction
Document without the prior written consent of the other parties to this

Affiliate or any limited partnership, limited liability company or fund with the
same fund manager as such Investor without the prior written consent of the
Company; provided, further, however that such assignee agrees in writing to
assume assignor's obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents will apply to, be binding in all
respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns
of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents will be construed to give any Person other than the
parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or any provision of
this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, except that members of the Investor
Group and the Company Group will be entitled to the rights set forth in Article
XIII hereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted
successors and assigns.
13.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Agreement will not constitute disclosure of such item in any other section of or
on any other schedule to this Agreement, whether or not the existence of the
item or its contents should be or is relevant to any other section of or
schedule to this Agreement, unless an explicit cross-reference thereto appears
in such other section or schedule or the context reasonably should be considered
relevant in light of the nature of the item and section.

threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions
of this Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved
will have the right of specific performance and injunctive relief giving effect
to its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies will
be cumulative. The parties agree that any such breach or threatened breach would

threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for
any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. The parties further agree that any

representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision of this
Agreement or any Transaction Document will be deemed to have occurred if there
is or has been any inaccuracy in or breach of or any failure to perform or
comply with, such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or other
provision, and the term "breach" means any such inaccuracy, failure, occurrence
or circumstance. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation
