however, that if any change is an increase such change shall be limited to no more than * percent,

become effective.
(c) Most Favored Pricing. Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of this Section
7(c), ORBCOMM agrees that the Pricing Rate Schedule as set forth in Exhibit C consists of pricing
for each Price Plan Code and fee item that is less than or equal to that of any other reseller
other than Volvo Group and its Affiliates or General Electric Company and its Affiliates in the
non-OEM, in-cab, commercial trucking market based on the number of Subscriber Communicators
provisioned on it’s account and whose message profile and frequency of transmission are in the same
categories as Reseller’s. ORBCOMM further agrees, subject to the terms of the last paragraph of
this Section 7(c), to amend the Price Rate Schedule to ensure that, for Term of the Agreement, such
pricing continues to be less than or equal to that of any other reseller other than the Volvo Group
and its Affiliates or General Electric Company and its Affiliates in the non-OEM, in-cab,
commercial trucking market based on the number of Subscriber Communicators provisioned on it’s
account and whose message profile and frequency of transmission are in the same categories as
Reseller’s. For clarification, this Section 7(c) shall not be invoked in cases where other
resellers are utilizing Reseller’s Applications.
Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of this Section 7(c), if ORBCOMM shall at any time
enter into a value added reseller agreement with any of companies listed in Exhibit E for
applications that directly compete with those contained in Exhibit B, then the prices provided to
such company shall not be less then those in Exhibit C hereof, for the same message profile and
frequency of transmission categories regardless of what number of Subscriber Communicators such
company has provisioned on it’s account. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, ORBCOMM shall not give any other U.S. value added reseller (other than (a) Volvo
Group or its Affiliates, (b) General Electric Company or its Affiliates or (c) another reseller
utilizing Reseller’s Applications), for any application which directly competes with those
contained in Exhibit B in the non-OEM market, a price lower than that charged to Reseller for the
same message profile and frequency of transmission categories, unless the number of Subscriber
Communicators provisioned on its account is more than the number of units being paid for by
Reseller plus 30%.
Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of this Section 7(c), if at any time during the
Term of this Agreement, ORBCOMM does enter into pricing arrangements which does not conform to this
Section 7(c), then ORBCOMM shall adjust the Price Rate Schedule to be lower than such prices.
* | Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and such material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
12
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, ORBCOMM’s obligations under this
Section 7(c) shall apply only for so long as Reseller has provisioned on the ORBCOMM System on its
account no fewer than * new billable Subscriber Communicators (net
of any deactivations or suspensions) during each previous twelve month period by each
anniversary date of this Agreement, in each case, in excess of the aggregate number of
billable Subscriber Communicators provisioned on Reseller’s account as of the beginning of such
twelve month period. For the avoidance of doubt, if Reseller fails to
provision at least * billable Subscriber Communicators (net of any deactivations or suspensions)
during the previous twelve months by any anniversary of this Agreement, then ORBCOMM shall have no
further obligations under this Section 7(c).
(d) Currency. All amounts to be paid by Reseller pursuant to this Section 7 shall be

(b) Binding Effect, Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and
their permitted successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any interests or obligations of
Reseller, including, but not limited to, Reseller’s Subscriber accounts, shall be assigned or
transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) to any Person without the prior written consent of
ORBCOMM. ORBCOMM may, without the consent of Reseller, assign or delegate any of its interest or
obligations hereunder.
(c) Entire Agreement, Amendment. This Agreement and all attachments (which are
hereby made part of this Agreement) contain the entire understanding between Reseller and ORBCOMM
and supersede all prior written and oral understandings relating to the subject matter hereof
(including any prior non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement signed by the parties). No
representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements or understandings not contained herein shall
be valid or effective unless agreed to in writing and signed by both parties. Any modification or
amendment of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. Both parties agree and
acknowledge that this Agreement shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions contained
herein, and the terms and conditions of any purchase order, task order or similar document
(collectively, an “Order”) shall be without any force and effect and shall not amend, modify, add
to, or delete the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(d) Governing Law. (i) The constriction, interpretation and performance of this
Agreement, as well as the legal relations of the parties arising hereunder, shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
conflict or choice of law provisions thereof. Neither party may bring any action for a claim under
this Agreement later than one year after the termination of this Agreement; provided that claims
under any provision of this Agreement that survives termination of this Agreement may be brought
within one year of the later of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and actual
knowledge thereof by the party asserting such claim.
(ii) Solely for the purposes of Section 17(a)(ii) and 18(k) of this Agreement or in the event
the parties waive their arbitration rights under Section 17(a), each of the parties by its
execution hereof (A) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purpose of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement including
26
without limitation any disputes as to the formation or subject matter hereof and (B) hereby
waives to the extent not prohibited by law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding, any claim that is not subject personally to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or
execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts is improper, or that
this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court; provided
that with respect to any action or proceeding by ORBCOMM seeking damages for a default under
Section 13(a), ORBCOMM may at its option proceed either in one of the above named courts or
pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions specified in Section 17. Reseller hereby consents to
service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the state of New
York and agrees that service of process by international registered mail, return receipt
requested, at the address specified in or pursuant to Section 18(a) hereof is reasonably
calculated to give actual notice. Reseller agrees that, at ORBCOMM’s request, it will appoint an
agent for service of process within the State of New York.
(e) Waiver. It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either ORBCOMM or
Reseller in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. No waiver of any terms or conditions
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any term or condition.
All waivers must be in writing and signed by both of the parties hereto.
(f) Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining
portion, which shall remain in force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the
invalid or unenforceable portion thereof eliminated.
(g) Headings, Section Reference. Headings in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a Section in this Agreement shall mean such
Section of this Agreement.
(h) Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party
shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in the performance by it of its obligations hereunder.
(i) Independent Parties. Each party is an independent contractor. Except as provided
in this Agreement, neither party shall have the right, power or authority to act or to create any
obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. All sales by Reseller shall be in
its own name and for its own account. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as vesting
in Reseller any control over or interest in the Facilities or operations of ORBCOMM or the ORBCOMM
System. Reseller shall not represent itself as a federal or state certified licensee of the
ORBCOMM System.
27
(j) Tariffs. In the event that any ORBCOMM Services or the charges made therefore
are currently subject, or at any time become subject, to any tariff or other form of rate
regulation imposed by a Governmental Authority, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the prices set forth in the Pricing Rate Schedule, shall be deemed amended to conform to
any conflicting terms and conditions in effect under such regulation or tariff. All
non-conflicting terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain valid and in frill force and
effect.
(k) Injunctive Relief. Each of the parties acknowledges that the ORBCOMM System and
ORBCOMM Services provided pursuant to this Agreement are unique and recognizes and affirms that in
the event of any breach of this Agreement by it, money damages may not be adequate and the other
party may have no adequate remedy pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions specified in
Section 17. Accordingly, the dispute resolution provisions specified in Section 17 are not
exclusive of a party’s right to injunctive relief to the extent permitted by applicable law. For
purposes of this Section only, the judicial forums set forth in Section 17 and 18 shall not be the
exclusive forums in which either party can seek such injunctive relief.
(1) Force Majeure. Neither party shall be held responsible for failure or delay in
performance or delivery if such failure or delay is the result of an act of God, the public enemy,
embargo, governmental act (other than the failure to obtain Permits from a Governmental
Authority), fire, accident, war, riot, strikes, inclement weather or other cause of a similar
nature that is beyond the control of the parties. In the event of such occurrence, this Agreement
shall be amended by mutual agreement to reflect an extension in the period of performance and/or
time of delivery. Failure to agree on an equitable extension shall be considered a claim or
controversy and resolved in accordance with Section 17.

PRICING NOTES
The pricing presented herein is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. | Terms not defined herein, or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall have the meaning set forth in the ORBCOMM Messaging Services Description (A80MK0019 — Revision — C, Issue Date: March 31, 2000) a copy of which may be obtained by contacting ORBCOMM. | |
2. | Each Subscriber Communicator provisioned on the ORBCOMM System shall be assigned a “Price Plan Code” as set forth on the Pricing Rate Schedule. Additionally, for administrative purposes, Reseller may request that ORBCOMM open one or more contracts (“Contracts”) within each Price Plan Code and instruct ORBCOMM to place the Subscriber Communicators within such Price Plan Code within such Contracts. Reseller shall be responsible for indicating into which Contract a Subscriber Communicator is to be placed at the time of its provisioning. | |
3. | Price Plan Codes correspond to the average number of Message Units transmitted over a three month period by all Subscriber Communicators provisioned with such Price Plan Code. The number of Message Units used by each Subscriber Communicator shall be calculated as follows: (a) each Data Report, Position Report, Message Enquiry, User Command, and Poll shall be equal to 1 Message Unit; (b) each Message of 7 to 33 bytes shall be equal to 2.41 Message Units; (c) each Message of 34 to 70 bytes shall be equal to 3.33 Message Units; (d) each Message of 71 to 107 bytes shall be equal to 4.24 Message Units; and (e) for Messages greater than 107 bytes, the number of Message Units is equal to the number of bytes transmitted divided by 25. For Messages and Globalgrams, the sum of the lengths in bytes of the header, subject, and body parks are included in the Message Unit calculation (minimum 33 bytes per message). Gateway Control Center acknowledgements for Reports, Commands, and Messages are included and are not counted as additional Message Units. For Subscriber Communicators which transmit a variety of message types and lengths, the total usage is determined by adding the total number of Message Units for each message type using the ratios in this paragraph 3 in each Billing Cycle. Should the actual usage exceed that of the Price Plan Code or the actual usage be less than that of the next less expensive Price Plan Code selected by the customer averaged over the last three Billing Cycles, ORBCOMM or Reseller will notify the other party in writing of the actual usage and the appropriate Price Plan Code which should apply. ORBCOMM will change the Contract to the new Price Plan Code at the start of the next Billing Cycle (after written notice from Reseller in the case of usage less than that of the next less expensive Price Plan Code selected by the customer averaged over the last three Billing Cycles), and this will stay in effect for a minimum of the next three consecutive Billing Cycles. At the conclusion of this three month period, actual usage will be recalculated and the appropriate Price Plan Code applied commencing the following month. | |
4. | ORBCOMM shall calculate Usage Charges invoiced to Reseller on a Contact by Contract basis. The first 999 Subscriber Communicators within a Contract shall have a Usage Charge as set forth in the column with the heading “First 999 Units.” The next 1,500 in such Contract |
34
shall have the Usage Charge set forth in the cola nun with the heading “Units 1,000-2,499” and so on. These prices are valid for applications which take reasonable care in making efficient use of ORBCOMM network resources as described in Application Note #11, Application Traffic Demand Considerations, Issue Date: September 30, 2000. ORBCOMM reserves the right to apply surcharges to accounts which make excessive demands on network resources as determined by ORBCOMM. Usage Charges shall be invoiced to Reseller in advance at the beginning of each Billing Cycle based on the number of Subscriber Communicators provisioned on the ORBCOMM System on the account of Reseller at the beginning of each Billing Cycle. Credits and additional charges for Subscriber Communicators provisioned or deprovisioned during each Billing Cycle shall be made at the beginning of the following Billing Cycle. | ||
5. | All traffic is assumed to be sent at Non-Urgent Priority. SC-Terminated Delivery Plan Code Zero (“0”) is the standard for this pricing schedule. ORBCOMM reserves the right to charge a premium for the use of SC-Terminated Delivery Plan Codes other than Zero (“0”). | |
6. | Customer Owned and Maintained (LOAM) frame relay fees are minimum fees for integration and configuration of standard domestic connections. Additional setup for international connections or other special requirements are charged at $200 per hour for labor. Telephone company charges are additional. | |
7. | Optional Subscriber Communicator features referred to include provisioning for alternating terminating address, message forwarding, binary Globalgrams, message blocking and any other non-standard features. |
