Where such correction or replacement renders the Work or any part thereof non-functional, the warranty period shall be similarly extended for the Work or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any component that is corrected or replaced shall have a warranty period that is the greater of three (3) months or the unexpired portion of the warranty period.

This obligation shall be contingent upon Globalstar giving Contractor prompt written notice of such claim, all necessary authority to defend or settle the claim on its behalf and reasonable cooperation and assistance and such relevant information as is available to it.

C. If, as a result of any claim to which this Article 13 applies, the manufacture or delivery of any item or service to be delivered or otherwise provided pursuant to this Contract is enjoined, or the sale or use of any item delivered under this Contract is enjoined after delivery, Contractor agrees to do the following in the order stated:

(1) To use reasonable efforts, to include where necessary the payment of commercial royalty, to negotiate a license or other agreement with the claimant to resolve the alleged infringement; or

(2) where applicable, to modify the item or substitute a suitable item so that the modified or substituted item is not subject to the enjoinment; or if (1) and (2) cannot be effected by Contractor’s reasonable and diligent efforts,

(3) repurchase enjoined items at their then current value of Globalstar’s audited accounts.

D. The Contractor agrees that the provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to any item modified by Contractor pursuant to this Article 13.C(2).

E. Notwithstanding the above, Contractor will not be liable for any such indemnity and defense obligations for infringement claims arising from (i) Contractor’s compliance with Globalstar’s designs, requirements or specifications, where such designs, requirements or specifications form the basis for the infringement claim (as opposed to an infringement claim arising primarily from Contractor’s chosen implementation), or (ii) use of any non-infringing item provided by Contractor in combination with products not supplied by Contractor, or (iii) the modification by Globalstar or a third party of any item provided by Contractor (excluding a modification made by or on behalf of Contractor), where the infringement claim would have been avoided but for such modification, or (iv) infringement of Intellectual Property Rights owned or controlled by Qualcomm, Inc. (such claims being collectively referred to herein as “Other Claims”). Globalstar will indemnify Contractor from any and all damages and costs (including settlement costs) finally awarded or agreed upon for infringement of any United States patent or copyright in any lawsuit resulting from Other Claims, and for reasonable expenses incurred by Contractor in defense of such lawsuit if Globalstar does not undertake the defense thereof.

F. This indemnity is in lieu of any other liability, whether or not based on indemnity or warranty, express or implied, with respect to intellectual property claims.

Contract for Radio Access Network (RAN) and User Terminal Subsystem

H37813 (3/08)

other Party or otherwise belonging to the other Party (and shall ensure that any employees or subcontractors are similarly bound) and shall not disclose the same to any person save to the extent necessary to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Contract. All such information shall be identified as confidential at the time it is so supplied or shall be such that should reasonably have been understood by the receiving Party (based on the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself) to be proprietary and confidential to the disclosing Party. For the sake of clarity, each Party shall have the right to use, duplicate and disclose, as permitted under this Article, the other Party’s confidential information as required to fulfill the Party’s requirements under this Contract, subject to the nondisclosure and use restrictions provided herein.

B. Article 11 hereto, entitled Intellectual Property Rights shall take precedence over the provisions of this Article to the extent that there is any inconsistency.

C. The foregoing provisions of this Article shall not apply to know-how and information which:

(1) is or becomes public knowledge without breach of this Contract;

(2) is already known to the receiving Party at the time of its disclosure by the disclosing Party and was not otherwise acquired by the receiving Party from the disclosing Party under any obligations of confidence;

(3) is independently developed by Contractor or Globalstar, which fact can be shown by competent evidence; or

(4) Globalstar or Contractor is compelled by legal process or government regulation or order to disclose, provided that the disclosing Party is given prompt notice of any proposed release of information under this sub-clause and that the disclosing Party be given ample opportunity to engage in legal action to resist and/or restrict any such disclosure.

A. During the term of this Contract, neither Party, nor its affiliates, subcontractors, employees, agents and consultants, shall release items of publicity of any kind including, without limitation, news releases, articles, brochures, advertisements, prepared speeches, company reports or other information releases related to the Work performed hereunder, including the denial or confirmation thereof, without the other Party’s prior written consent.

B. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit either Party from disclosing this Contract, in whole or in part, or information relating thereto (i) as may be required by the rules and regulations of a government agency with jurisdiction over the disclosing Party or a stock exchange on which the disclosing Party’s shares are

XXXXXX AND GLOBALSTAR CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

H37813 (3/08)

then listed, (ii) as may be required by a subpoena or other legal process (iii) in any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, (iv) to its lenders under appropriate assurances of confidentiality for the benefit of the disclosing Party or (v) to its auditors, attorneys and other professional advisors in the ordinary course, provided that such auditors, attorney and advisors have contractual or professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the disclosed material. The disclosing Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to disclose only such information as it believes in good faith it is legally required to disclose pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), above, and will seek, to the extent reasonably available under applicable rules, to obtain confidential treatment for any information either Party reasonably considers trade secrets and that is required to be disclosed. To the extent practicable, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity in advance of disclosure to request redactions or deletions of specific terms and provisions of the Contract and shall accommodate those requests to the extent reasonably consistent with applicable confidential treatment rules.

C. Within a reasonable time prior to a proposed issuance of news releases, articles, brochures, advertisements, prepared speeches, and other such information releases concerning the Work performed hereunder, the Party desiring to release such information shall request the written approval of the other Party concerning the content and timing of such releases. The Parties anticipate the issuance of press releases in connection with the execution of the Contract, which press releases shall be subject to approval by both Parties prior to release.

Article 18. Termination for Cause

A. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Contract, in whole or in part, by notice (the “Termination Notice”) in writing to the other Party in the event that:

(1) the other Party defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder and (in the case of a remediable breach) fails to make significant progress in resolving same within sixty (60) working days (the “Cure Period”) of being requested by written notice (the “Default Notice”) to do so; or

(2) the other Party becomes insolvent or the subject of proceedings under any law relating to bankruptcy or the relief of debtors or admits its inability to pay its debts as they become due.

The Termination Notice will be effective immediately without further period for cure.

In the event Globalstar terminates Contractor pursuant to this Article prior to completion of Preliminary Design Review, then, on demand from Globalstar, Contractor will refund all payments pertinent to the terminated Work made by Globalstar less any liquidated damages (if applicable) pertinent to the terminated Work paid by Contractor. Contractor shall make this refund within thirty (30) days of receipt of Globalstar’s Termination Notice. Such refund shall be Globalstar’s sole and exclusive remedy for such termination.

XXXXXX AND GLOBALSTAR CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

Contract for Radio Access Network (RAN) and User Terminal Subsystem

H37813 (3/08)

Alternatively to the above paragraph or if such termination for cause occurs after completion of Preliminary Design Review, upon payment by Globalstar to Contractor of all amounts owing up to the date of the Termination Notice Globalstar may elect to take over the completion of the terminated work either itself or via a third party in which case Contractor shall be liable for any reasonable cover costs for such work. Under this scenario, Contractor shall promptly provide to Globalstar access and custody to the work in process, the applicable templates and other information related to Contractor Foreground IP and all the License Rights granted by Contractor under Article 11 hereof, entitled Intellectual Property Rights, necessary for Globalstar to proceed under this scenario. In addition, Contractor shall provide up to twelve (12) months of termination assistance to Globalstar or its designee at Globalstar’s request and reasonable expense (not to exceed Contractor’s time and materials rate specified in Exhibit C hereto).

B. If Globalstar issues a Termination Notice to Contractor pursuant to this Article 18 and it is subsequently determined that Contractor was not in breach, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if Globalstar had terminated for convenience pursuant to Article 19 hereof, entitled Termination for Convenience, unless the Parties mutually agree to reinstate the Contract.

Article 19. Termination for Convenience/Stop Work Orders

A. Globalstar may terminate this Contract, in whole or in part, for Globalstar’s convenience, at any time prior to completion, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Contractor. In such case, Contractor shall immediately stop Work as directed in the termination notice and make its reasonable best efforts to mitigate costs.

B. In the event of such termination by Globalstar, the termination charges shall be determined by good faith negotiations between Globalstar and Contractor or, if agreement cannot be reached, pursuant to Article 24 hereof, entitled Dispute Resolution. In making such determination, the following principles shall be applied:

(1) The total termination charges shall not exceed the sum of:

(a) Direct and indirect costs (including overhead but excluding any profit element) reasonably incurred by Contractor in connection with the performance of the Work prior to termination, other than those costs referred to in Paragraph B(1)(c) of this Article 19. Such costs shall be determined [*].

(b) A profit element representing [*] of the costs in Paragraph B(1)(a), of this Article 19.

(c) Reasonable costs incurred by Contractor in settlement with subcontractors and suppliers as a result of Globalstar’s termination. With respect to any proposed

XXXXXX AND GLOBALSTAR CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

Contract for Radio Access Network (RAN) and User Terminal Subsystem

H37813 (3/08)

settlement involving an amount in excess of [*], Contractor shall advise Globalstar, and shall not enter into any binding settlement until Globalstar has approved the proposal, or until thirty (30) days have elapsed from the date when such advice was furnished to Globalstar, whichever first occurs.

C. The termination charges determined pursuant to Paragraph B of this Article 19 shall be reduced by the following:

(1) Any amounts previously paid by Globalstar to Contractor with respect to the performance of the Work prior to termination. To the extent such amounts previously paid by Globalstar exceed the termination charges due, Contractor shall refund the difference to Globalstar.

(2) Amounts representing the resale, reuse, or salvage value to Contractor, or to its subcontractors and suppliers, of items that Globalstar has not taken possession of.

D. In no event will the calculation of charges exceed the total Contract Value or conflict with the terms of this Contract with respect to adjustments.

E. Title to items that Globalstar has taken possession of shall transfer to Globalstar after payment.

F. Stop Work Orders

(1) Globalstar may, at any time, upon reasonable prior written notice to Contractor (“the Stop Work Order”), direct Contractor to suspend performance of the Work for a maximum cumulative duration of six (6) months and with a maximum number of suspensions of two (2). Said Stop Work Order shall specify the date of suspension and the estimated duration of the suspension. Upon receiving any such Stop Work Order, Contractor shall promptly suspend further performance of the Work to the extent specified, and during the period of such suspension shall properly care for and protect all Work in Process and materials, supplies, and equipment Contractor has on hand for performance of the Work.

(2) Globalstar may, at any time during the stop Work, either (a) direct Contractor to resume performance of the Work by written notice to Contractor, and Contractor shall resume diligent performance of the Work, provided that (x) the Delivery Schedule is adjusted to reflect the stop Work and the time required by Contractor to recommence performance, (y) other affected provisions of the Contract shall be adjusted, and (z) Contractor is compensated for its Work stoppage costs as defined in Article 19F(3) below; or (b) terminate the Contract for convenience in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 19 in which case the costs incurred by Contractor and its subcontractors as a result of the stop Work as defined below shall be added to the termination charges to be paid pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 19.

(3) The Contract Value shall be equitably adjusted to compensate Contractor for actual costs reasonably incurred by Contractor or its subcontractors as a result of such

XXXXXX AND GLOBALSTAR CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

Contract for Radio Access Network (RAN) and User Terminal Subsystem

H37813 (3/08)

suspension and resumption of Work plus a markup of [*]. Contractor shall invoice Globalstar for such costs, and Globalstar shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) Days from the date of invoice. Invoices will not be issued more frequently than one (1) per month during a stop Work. If after a period of 6 months from receipt of a Stop Work Order, Globalstar does not direct Contractor to resume Work, Globalstar shall be deemed to have terminated the Contract for convenience under the foregoing provisions of this Article 19 and the applicable termination charges shall apply.

Article 20. Excusable Delay

Contractor will be excused for delays or interruptions in the provision of Work and shall have no liability as a result thereof when such delays or interruptions (i) are caused by Globalstar, or (ii) are otherwise beyond the reasonable control of Contractor, including but not limited to war (whether or not actually declared), sabotage, insurrection, rebellion, riot or other act of civil disobedience, act of a public enemy, failure of or delay in transportation, any governmental act, judicial action, labor dispute, shortage of labor, fuel raw material or machinery, fire, accident, explosion, epidemic, quarantine, storm, flood, earthquake, or other Acts of God (“Force Majeure”). The Parties specifically agree that rain, snow or other ordinary weather conditions (excluding tornadoes, hurricanes, and other major storms) do not constitute Force Majeure conditions. If any such contingency occurs, Contractor may allocate resources among Contractor’ customers as it deems appropriate and the delivery requirements of this Agreement will be amended accordingly.

Article 21. NOT USED.

Article 22. Governmental Authorizations

A. Gateway Licenses

Globalstar shall be responsible for obtaining and complying with all national authorizations or licenses as may be required to introduce the RAN in its Gateways. This includes, but is not limited to, obtaining and maintaining any license, permits, and/or other authorizations of any kind required for installation, maintenance, testing, or operation of the Work, or any portion thereof, including services related thereto. Globalstar shall pay all costs of such licenses, permits and authorizations and all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining and maintaining them. Globalstar’s obligation to pay Contractor shall not in any manner be waived by delay or failure to secure or renew, or by the cancellation of, any required licenses, permits or authorizations.

B. Export Control Regulations

(1) It is expressly agreed that the execution of this Contract and the subsequent delivery of the Contractor deliverables will be subject to all applicable export controls imposed or administered by the U. S. Government including but not limited to the export of equipment, software and technical data (including services). The Parties

As applicable, Contractor shall submit requests for authorization to use license exceptions. Globalstar shall cooperate with Contractor to obtain such commodity classifications and authorizations, including providing Contractor with any required information in Globalstar’s possession. Contractor agrees to provide copies of such requests and the formal determination (including, as applicable, identification of all Export Classification Control Numbers (“ECCNs”) and all cases of No License Required (“NLR”) and License Exception) of BIS to Globalstar. Once BIS has issued a formal determination, any use of such classifications and/or license exceptions by Globalstar shall be without recourse to Contractor, and shall be at Globalstar’s own risk. Contractor assumes no liability for any damages whether direct, consequential, incidental, or otherwise, that may be suffered by Globalstar as a result of Globalstar’s using or relying upon such classifications or license exceptions for any purpose whatsoever.

(5) If any Contractor deliverable technical data or software contains export-controlled encryption algorithms or other export controlled technology, Contractor will so notify Globalstar by affixing a proper and prominent legend reflecting same on the medium containing such technical data or software (e.g., CD-ROM or document). Any such deliverable will be delivered by Contractor only directly to Globalstar, notwithstanding any other delivery requirements in this Contract.

(6) To the extent a U.S. export license is required for RAN and UT Subsystem hardware, software, firmware, or technical data deliverables, Xxxxxx will apply for the required U.S. export license and will export such deliverables in accordance with the export license as approved by BIS.

(7) Globalstar agrees and acknowledges that Contractor will not supply either directly or indirectly through third party sales channels or otherwise, any equipment or services (i) to any Non-US military organization or intelligence organization; (ii) which will be used for any military or intelligence applications, whether pursuant to a dual civilian/military or intelligence application or otherwise; or (iii) which will otherwise

Globalstar further agrees and acknowledges that such prohibition shall apply to any purchase and sale or resale of Contractor supplied goods (including third party goods), Contractor supplied information or Contractor equipment or services under this or any other agreement that Contractor may enter into with Globalstar in the future. Globalstar agrees to inform Contractor in the event that Globalstar becomes aware that the supply or delivery of Contractor equipment by Contractor, Globalstar or any third party would be in contravention of the aforementioned prohibition. In the event that Contractor has reason to believe that any of the foregoing prohibitions have not been fully complied with, Contractor may immediately terminate this Contract, or any other agreement or contract it has entered into with Globalstar without penalty or cost. Contractor shall additionally require a similar prohibition to be clearly set forth in any contract or agreement which the Parties may enter into now or in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Globalstar is not prohibited from using Contractor supplied products, services, and data to provide telecommunication services (including telephone and internet access) to any of its users/end customers of any type.

C. Continuation of Performance

During the arbitration, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Contract to the extent such performance is not precluded by the subject matter of the dispute.

Article 25. Changes

A. At any time during this Contract, Globalstar may request changes in the Work, so long as such changes are within the general scope of the Contract. The Contractor may also propose changes for consideration by Globalstar.

B. A change request from Globalstar must be identified as such, must be made or confirmed in writing, and must be signed by the responsible officer identified in Article 28 hereof, entitled Communication and Authority. If any other conduct by the responsible officer or any other representative of Globalstar is construed by Contractor as possibly constituting a change request or an interpretation of the Contract requirements inconsistent with Contractor’s understanding of those requirements, Contractor shall promptly notify Globalstar and request clarification.

C. Within thirty (30) days after receiving a change request from Globalstar, Contractor shall submit to Globalstar a written contract change notice in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph D of this Article. On a case-by-case basis, Contractor may request a longer period to prepare the contract change notice. Globalstar shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a request for such a longer period, taking into account the nature of the change request, but Globalstar may also take into account the impact of such an extension on the performance schedule.

D. Whether submitted in response to a change request initiated by Globalstar, or initiated by Contractor, the contract change notice shall itemize, in a reasonable format specified by Globalstar, any impact that the change would have on the technical requirements, price, performance schedule, or other terms and conditions of this Contract. Where appropriate, the contract change notice shall also suggest any revised language for the Contract, including any of its Exhibits, that would be necessary to implement the change.

E. Any claim by Contractor for adjustment of the technical requirements, price, performance schedule, or other terms and conditions of this Contract, attributable to a change, shall be deemed waived unless asserted in the contract change notice.

F. If the cost of any materials that would be made obsolete as a result of a change is included in Contractor’s claim for adjustment:

(1) To the extent that such materials have resale, reuse, or salvage value to Contractor or its subcontractors or suppliers, Globalstar shall be entitled to a credit.

(2) If such materials have no such resale, reuse, or salvage value, Globalstar shall have the right to prescribe their manner of disposition.

G. After Globalstar receives a sufficiently detailed contract change notice, and after any negotiations with respect to the adjustments claimed by Contractor, the following outcomes are possible:

(1) Globalstar may decide not to proceed with implementation of the change.

(2) Globalstar may decide to implement the change, in which case:

(a) If the Parties have reached agreement about the adjustments to be made in the Contract, Contractor shall proceed with implementation as agreed.

(b) If the Parties are unable to reach such an agreement, the provisions of Article 24 hereof, entitled Dispute Resolution, shall apply.

(c) Pending any negotiations and/or arbitration, Globalstar may direct Contractor to proceed with implementation of the change, subject to any adjustments subsequently agreed or awarded.

H. Globalstar may also direct Contractor to proceed with implementation of a change prior to preparation of a complete contract change notice, subject to any adjustments subsequently agreed or awarded.

I. Globalstar’s right to direct Contractor to proceed with implementation of a change pursuant to Paragraph G(2)(c) or H of this Article 25 shall be subject to Contractor’s ability to do so, taking into account the resources, facilities, supplies, and services available to it, and may also be subject to a stipulated financial limit.

Article 26. Assignment of Contract

Each Party hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written approval of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed), assign or delegate any of their rights, duties, and obligations under this Contract, except to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such Party (which assignment or delegation shall not relieve the assignor or delegator of liability). In case of assignment by Globalstar, Globalstar shall demonstrate to Contractor’s satisfaction that its successor or assignee possesses the financial resources to fulfill Globalstar’s obligations under this Contract. Upon such assignment, the assignee shall assume all rights and obligations

If Globalstar deems, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed replacements to be unsuitable, Globalstar may require Contractor to offer alternative candidates. Notwithstanding its role in reviewing Key Personnel and their replacements, Globalstar shall have no supervisory control over their performance and nothing in this Article shall relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Contract or of its responsibility for any acts or omissions of its personnel.
