AFFILIATES OR ANY LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OR
BASED ON EVENTS OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE CLOSING WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED
ASSETS OR THE BUSINESS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND ANY LIABILITY OWED TO ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED DEBT OR
EQUITY HOLDER OF SELLER IN RESPECT OF SUCH DEBT OR EQUITY OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, THE “EXCLUDED
LIABILITIES”). SELLER AGREES TO PERFORM, PAY OR DISCHARGE ANY
AND ALL OF THE EXCLUDED LIABILITIES PROMPTLY AS THEY BECOME DUE.
(a) Purchase Price Payable at
the Closing. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets
payable at the Closing (the “Closing Purchase
Price”), as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c) below, shall consist
of the following two components: (i) One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars ($1,500,000) via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by Seller at least three business days prior to the Closing
(less the Cash Escrow Amount, which will be paid to XX Xxxxxx Chase, as escrow
agent (the “Escrow
Agent”), to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement (as defined below)), and (ii)(A) a number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Globalstar, Inc. voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001
per share (“Globalstar
Stock”), equal to the quotient of (1) Five Million Five Hundred Thousand
U.S. Dollars ($5,500,000) divided by (2) the Adjusted Globalstar Stock Price as
measured at the Closing Date, less (B) such number of shares of Globalstar Stock
that Seller directs Globalstar to issue directly to certain of Seller’s lenders
in accordance with Section 4(e). The “Adjusted Globalstar Stock
Price” means the average daily closing price per share of the Globalstar
Stock as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market for a 20 trading-day
period. With respect to the Globalstar Stock to be delivered or
placed in escrow at the Closing, the 20-trading day period shall end with the
trading day immediately preceding the date of this Agreement. With respect to
the Globalstar Stock to be issued as part of the Earnout Payments, the
20-trading day period shall end on the last day of the calendar quarter for
which the calculation is made under Section 4(b)(ii). With respect to any
Globalstar Stock to be issued under Section 4(b)(iii), the 20-trading day
period shall end on the day of sale of the first commercial unit of the
Newly-Developed Product as described in Section 4(b)(iii). Of
the Closing Purchase Price furnished under Section 4(a)(ii) above, $500,000
in cash (for the exclusive purpose of satisfying any liabilities of Buyer or
Globalstar associated with the SPOT 2 Repair and, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 13, the Axscend Matter, as defined in Section 13(a)) (the
“Cash Escrow
Amount”) and Globalstar Stock with a value of $3,250,000 based on the
Adjusted Globalstar Stock Price (the “Stock Escrow Amount”
and together with the Cash Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Amount”) shall
be placed in escrow pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement in the form of
Exhibit G (the “Escrow
Agreement”).

Subject
to the limitations of this Section 4(b), for the period between the
Closing and the end of Globalstar’s first fiscal quarter of 2010, and
thereafter for each of Globalstar’s fiscal quarters for the first five
years following the Closing Date (each such period or quarter an
“Earnout
Period”), Globalstar shall issue to Seller a number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Globalstar Stock equal to the quotient of (A)
the aggregate Earned Amount during such Earnout Period divided by (B) the
Adjusted Globalstar Stock Price (as defined and measured in accordance
with Section 4(a)).

Additionally,
and notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4(b)(ii) to the
contrary, beginning with the Earnout Period ending December 31, 2010 and
terminating upon the satisfaction of the Setoff Amount (as defined below)
(the “Limited Holdback
Earnout Period”), Globalstar shall have no obligation to issue
shares of Globalstar Stock for such Limited Holdback Earnout Period (or
make the Earnout Payment for such Limited Holdback Earnout Period in cash,
in the event Globalstar is otherwise permitted (or obligated) to pay all
or any portion of its Earnout Payments to Seller in cash in accordance
with this Section 4) to Seller until the Earned Amount due and payable by
Globalstar to Seller pursuant to this Section 4 for such Limited Holdback
Earnout Period exceeds $210,000 (the “Setoff
Amount”), after which the obligations of Globalstar pursuant to
Section 4(b)(ii)(1) (and satisfaction of Earnout Payments to Seller in
accordance with this Section 4 generally) shall continue throughout the
Earnout Period without regard to this Section
4(b)(ii)(2).

(viii) No
more frequently than once during each calendar year and subject to full
compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Seller and its
agents and representatives shall have the right at Seller’s cost to audit the
books, invoices and other records of Buyer and Globalstar relating to the Earned
Amount in respect of any Existing Products or Newly-Developed
Products. Each of Buyer and Globalstar shall make such records and
its personnel available and will provide reasonable assistance in the analysis
of such records. Seller shall provide Buyer and Globalstar with
reasonable advance notice of any scheduled audit date. All such
audits shall be conducted during regular business hours of Buyer and Globalstar
and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations
of Buyer or Globalstar. If an audit reveals any errors that affect
the calculation of Earned Amounts under Section 4(b), the parties shall
promptly make appropriate adjustments to correct the
errors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the audit reveals errors
greater than 10% of Buyer’s reported amounts that impact the calculations under
Section 4(b), then Globalstar will pay all costs of the audit.
(ix) During the Earnout Period,
Globalstar and Buyer shall maintain books, invoices and other records regarding
sales and manufacturing costs of Existing Products and Newly-Developed Products
sufficient to calculate (and to permit Seller to calculate) the Earnout Payments
owed under this Agreement.
8
(x) Seller acknowledges and agrees that although Earnout
Payments may become payable by Globalstar
under this Section 4(b), neither
Globalstar nor any of its
affiliates makes any guarantee or
representation or warranty to Seller that
any amount of Earnout Payments will in fact
be realized.
(i) For
purposes of this Section 4(c): (A) “Current Assets” and
“Current
Liabilities” mean those categories of current assets and current
liabilities of Seller reflected on Exhibit I,
respectively, calculated using the same accounting principles, policies,
practices, classifications and methodologies used in preparation of the
Financial Statements; (B) “Closing Working
Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities as of the close
of business on the Closing Date; and (C) “Estimated Closing Working
Capital” means Seller’s estimate of Closing Working Capital as set forth
on the Estimated Closing Statement.
(ii) The
working capital target for Seller is $ 409,409.08 (the “Working Capital
Target”). Not later than three business days prior to the
Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Globalstar a statement setting forth the
Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing
Statement”). Seller shall prepare the Estimated Closing
Statement in good faith using the same accounting principles, policies,
practices, classifications and methodologies used in preparation of the
Financial Statements, to the extent consistent with GAAP. If the
Estimated Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Estimated Closing
Statement is less than the Working Capital Target, then the dollar amount set
forth in clause (i) of Section 4(a) (and therefore the Closing Purchase Price)
shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such shortfall,
and if the Estimated Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Estimated
Closing Statement is greater than the Working Capital Target, then the dollar
amount set forth in clause (i) of Section 4(a) (and therefore the Closing
Purchase Price) shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of
such excess.
(iii) Within
60 business days after the Closing Date, Globalstar shall prepare and deliver to
Seller a statement setting forth the Closing Working Capital (the “Final Closing
Statement”). Globalstar shall prepare the Final Closing
Statement in good faith using the same accounting principles, policies,
practices, classifications and methodologies used in preparation of the
Financial Statements, to the extent consistent with GAAP. If the
Closing Date does not occur at a financial week or month end for accounting
purposes, the parties may agree on mutually acceptable roll forward or roll back
procedures. Each party shall provide the other parties and their
representatives with reasonable access to books and records and relevant
personnel during the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and the
resolution of any disputes that may arise under this Section 4(c).
(iv) If
Seller disagrees with the determination of the Closing Working Capital as shown
on the Final Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Globalstar in writing of
such disagreement within 30 days after delivery to Seller of the Final Closing
Statement, which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in
reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of
each such disagreement and provide reasonable supporting documentation for each
such disagreement. If Seller delivers to Globalstar a
notice accepting the Final Closing Statement, or Seller does not deliver a
written objection to the Final Closing Statement within such 30 day period,
then, effective as of the earlier of the date of delivery of such notice of
acceptance or as of the close of business on such 30th day, the Final Closing
Statement shall be deemed to be accepted by Seller.
9
(v) Following
the delivery of a notice of disagreement, Globalstar and Seller shall negotiate
in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Final Closing
Statement. If Globalstar and Seller are unable to resolve all
disagreements properly identified by Seller pursuant to Section 4(c)(iv) within
30 days after delivery to Globalstar of written notice of such disagreement,
then such disagreements shall be submitted for final and binding resolution to
the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant will only
consider those items and amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement as to
which Globalstar and Seller have disagreed within the time periods provided, and
must resolve the matter in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and shall deliver to Globalstar and Seller, as promptly as practicable
and in any event within 60 days after its appointment, a written report setting
forth the resolution determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
of any such disagreement; provided that the dollar
amount of each item in dispute shall be determined within the range of the
maximum and minimum dollar amounts proposed by Globalstar and
Seller. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent
Accountant shall be limited to whether the calculation of the Closing Working
Capital was done in accordance with this Section 4(c), and whether there were
mathematical errors in such calculation, and the Independent Accountant is not
to make any other determination. The Independent Accountant shall
make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material
provided by the parties and not pursuant to any independent
review. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be
final and binding upon Globalstar and Seller. The fees, expenses and
costs of the Independent Accountant shall be paid one-half by Globalstar and
one-half by Seller.
(vi) If
the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this
Section 4(c) is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then the dollar
amount set forth in clause (i) of Section 4(a) (and therefore the Closing
Purchase Price) shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of
such shortfall, and if the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in
accordance with this Section 4(c) is greater than Estimated Closing Working
Capital, then the dollar amount set forth in clause (i) of Section 4(a) (and
therefore the Closing Purchase Price) shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar
basis by the amount of such excess. If any adjustment under this
Section 4(c)(vi) results in a reduction in the Closing Purchase Price, Seller
shall pay the amount of such reduction in cash to Globalstar via wire transfer
of immediately available funds, and if any adjustment under this Section
4(c)(vi) results in an increase in the Closing Purchase Price, Globalstar shall
pay the amount of such increase to Seller via wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in each case within five days after the Closing Working Capital
is finally determined.

11
(i) Seller

Section 6(d)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (which shall be
discharged and released in full on or before the Closing), and at the Closing,

faith by appropriate proceedings, (iii) mechanics’, carriers’, workers’ and

not material to the assets so encumbered, (iv) zoning, entitlement and other

of the properties subject thereto, (v) liens in favor or Buyer or Globalstar
created by this Agreement, and (vi) such imperfections of title, easements,
encumbrances and mortgages or other liens as are not substantial in character,
amount or extent, do not and will not materially detract from the value or
interfere with the present use of the properties subject thereto or affected
thereby or otherwise materially impair the operations of the Business or the
transfer of the Purchased Assets contemplated hereby.
12
(ii) Seller
does not own any real property. Section 6(d)(ii) of the Seller
Disclosure Schedule contains a list of all leases of real property in which

of all or any part of any facility or that would prevent or hinder the continued
use of any facility used in the conduct of the Business.

Purchased Assets constitute all of the assets necessary to operate the Business
as currently conducted.
13

the Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of Seller, no Person is
infringing on or misappropriating any part of the Intellectual
Property.
18
(v) Seller
has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect and maintain its ownership
of and other rights to the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the

Persons, including without limitation, employees, agents, consultants and
contractors, who have contributed to or participated in the conception and
development of Seller’s Intellectual Property on behalf of Seller have executed
appropriate instruments of assignment in favor of Seller as assignee that have
conveyed to Seller full and effective ownership of all intangible property
thereby arising.
(i) Except
as specified by Section 8(f)(ii) or as otherwise contemplated herein,
Seller will be acquiring the portion of the Purchase Price comprised of
Globalstar Stock (the “Stock Consideration”)
only for its own account and not on behalf of any other Person, and only for the
purpose of holding for investment and not with a view to any further
distribution thereof. Except with respect to certain lenders of
Seller as provided in Section 4, (1) no other Person is participating with
Seller in respect to the acquisition of the Stock Consideration, and (2) Seller
has no agreement, arrangement, or understanding for sale or transfer of any part
of the Stock Consideration to any other Person.
19
(ii) Seller
understands that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained
in this Agreement, neither the offering nor the sale and transfer of the Stock
Consideration to Seller has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) or
any applicable state securities laws, and the Stock Consideration is being
offered and sold pursuant to limited exemptions provided in the Securities Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities
laws. Seller understands that no governmental agency has recommended
or endorsed the Stock Consideration or made any finding or determination
relating to the fairness for investment of the Stock
Consideration. Seller was not offered or sold the Stock
Consideration, directly or indirectly, by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, the
following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or
broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose
attendees had been invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
(iii) Seller
is aware that the Stock Consideration constitutes restricted stock under the
Securities Act, and may not be sold or transferred except pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.
(a) Organization. Globalstar
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the state of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to
own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it has
been and is presently conducted. Buyer is a limited liability company
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado,
with full limited liability company power and authority to own, lease, and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as it has been and is
presently conducted.

23
(i) For
a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Seller shall not, anywhere in the
world, directly or indirectly, invest in, own, manage, operate, finance,
control, advise, render services to, or guarantee the obligations of any Person
actively engaged or, to the Knowledge of Seller, planning to become engaged in
direct competition with the Business (in the same manner as the business was
conducted in the ordinary course immediately prior to Closing); provided,
however, that Seller may own, purchase, or otherwise acquire up to (but not more
than) five percent (5%) of any class of the securities of any Person (but may
not otherwise participate in the activities of such person) if such securities
are publicly traded.
24
(ii) For
a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Seller shall not, directly or
indirectly: (i) solicit, for the purpose of providing competing business, a
customer of the Business; (ii) intentionally cause or induce or attempt to cause
or induce any customer, supplier or employee of the Business or other Person
having a material business relationship with the Business to reduce its level of
business or cease doing business with Buyer or its affiliates or to deal with
any competitor of the Business; or (iii) hire, retain, or attempt to hire or
retain any employee of Buyer or its affiliates (other than those Persons who
ceased to have such relationship with Buyer or its affiliates or who
independently contact Seller other than through actions that would result in a
violation of this Section 6(e)(ii) by such parties).
(iii) If
a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines
that any term or provision contained in Sections 8(e)(i)-(ii) is invalid or
unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the
power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or
provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or
unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision. This Section 8(e) will be enforceable as
so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be
appealed. Seller acknowledges and agrees that this Section 8(e) is
reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer and Globalstar’s
legitimate business interests and the value of the Purchased Assets and the
Business and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.
(i) Any
shares of Globalstar Stock issued (or to be issued) pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, including any Globalstar Stock issued as a dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of such
Globalstar Stock, shall be registered under the Securities Act upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit K hereto (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”).
(ii) Seller
shall not sell or otherwise transfer to any Person any shares of Globalstar
Stock issued as Closing Purchase Price or Earnout Payments for a one-year period
(the “Market Standoff
Period”) following the Closing Date, except with respect to the transfer
of those shares of Globalstar Stock transferred by or on behalf of Seller to
certain of its lenders at the Closing in accordance with Section
4. Seller acknowledges that any stock certificates representing such
Globalstar Stock shall contain a legend to this effect, and that Globalstar will
issue instructions to its transfer agent instructing such transfer agent not to
give effect to any attempted transfer by Seller in violation of this Section
8(f)(ii). Immediately following the end of the Market Standoff
Period, Globalstar shall effect the removal of any legend on the Globalstar
Stock referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, and Seller may transfer
any shares of Globalstar Stock received in accordance with this Agreement to its
members, provided (A) the transfer is in compliance with all applicable
securities laws, and (B) each Material Member receiving Globalstar Stock from
Seller executes a Selling Restriction Agreement (each a “Member Selling Restriction
Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L. For purposes of
this Section 8(f)(ii), a “Material Member” means the following members:
Industrial Technology Ventures, L.P.; CTTV Investments LLC; Sanconix,
Inc.; Xxxxxxx Capital, L.L.C.; and Xxxxxxx Intellimedia Ventures,
L.P.
25
26
(i) Pursuant
to and subject to the limitations of Section 13, Seller shall be responsible for
the costs and expenses reflected on Section 8(n) of the Seller Disclosure
Schedule associated with the repair and replacement of parts in all SPOT 2
products manufactured to date as necessary to fix the “early battery light”
problem and other messaging issues currently being experienced by such products
(the “SPOT 2
Repair”), and Seller and Globalstar shall work together in good faith
towards the completion the SPOT 2 Repair in a timely, efficient and
cost-effective manner, using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the
distribution of properly functioning products and maintain good customer and
distributor relations, consistent with past practice of both
Globalstar and Seller. Seller shall be entitled to designate a
representative of it (at Seller’s expense) (the “Representative”) to
oversee the SPOT 2 Repair process, subject to Globalstar’s approval over such
process (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and shall work
with Globalstar in good faith towards the satisfaction of Seller’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 8(n).
(ii) The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the expenses associated with the SPOT 2
Repair as contemplated by this Section 8(n) shall be satisfied exclusively from
the Cash Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement. Expenses associated with the SPOT 2 Repair will be
compiled and submitted to the Escrow Agent on a monthly basis, pursuant to join
written instructions from Seller and Globalstar, for reimbursement in accordance
with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
27
(i) From
time to time prior to the Closing, each party shall, as soon as practicable and,
in any event, within five business days (or as promptly as practicable prior to
the Closing if less than five business days remain prior to the Closing), after
becoming aware of any matter existing or occurring following the date hereof
which, if existing or known at or before the date hereof, would have been
required to be set forth or described in the section of the Disclosure Schedule
applicable to such party (a “Subsequent Matter”),
deliver to the other party a supplement or update to the appropriate section of
the Disclosure Schedule (along with a marked copy of such applicable section of
the Disclosure Schedule reflecting such supplements or updates, if
practicable).
(ii) No
such supplement or update to any section of the Disclosure Schedule as provided
in this Section 8(o) shall be deemed to create or give rise to a
misrepresentation or breach of warranty for purposes of this Agreement, and if
the Closing occurs, each party shall be deemed to have waived any right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 13 with respect to any so disclosed
Subsequent Matter.
(p) Post-Closing Agreement
regarding Sinbon Electronics Co., Ltd.
(“Sinbon”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the parties agree that Buyer shall not acquire or assume any agreements or
purchase orders between Seller and Sinbon (collectively, the “Sinbon
Contracts”). Following the Closing, Globalstar and Buyer shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a manufacturing agreement
with Sinbon that terminates the Sinbon Contracts and extinguishes all
liabilities of, or potential claims against, Seller arising
therefrom. Until Globalstar or Buyer enters into such a manufacturing
agreement with Sinbon, if Buyer submits a purchase order to Seller for products
of a type that is manufactured by Sinbon for Seller under the existing Sinbon
Contracts, Seller shall submit an identical purchase order to Sinbon for the
manufacture of the products so ordered, and shall pass through the cost of such
order to Buyer (without any xxxx-up) and shall deliver the products so ordered
to Buyer per the terms of Buyer’s purchase order. If neither
Globalstar nor Buyer are able to enter into a satisfactory manufacturing
agreement with Sinbon despite its commercially reasonable efforts within 120
days following the Closing, then Seller shall indemnify Globalstar and Buyer for
any Lost Margin (as defined below) incurred from the end of such 120 day period
until the first anniversary of the Closing Date that is caused by or arises out
of Sinbon’s failure to deliver products to Seller (pursuant to the arrangement
described in this Section 8(p)) or to Globalstar or Buyer directly based on an
order from Globalstar or Buyer, provided such order from Globalstar or Buyer to
Seller is based on a firm purchase order Globalstar or Buyer receives from an
unaffiliated third-party customer for such product(s). “Lost Margin”
shall be determined by the following formula: (i) the number of products that
would have been sold by Globalstar or Buyer under the firm purchase order for
such product(s) Globalstar or Buyer received from an unaffiliated third-party
customer multiplied by the excess of (A) the lesser of the “Selling Price” for
such product as listed on Exhibit H and the
actual sale price of such product over (B) the “Cost” for such product as listed
on Exhibit H, minus (ii) the amount of Earnout Payments that would have been
owed to Seller if such products had been sold.
9. Conditions Precedent to
Buyer’s and Globalstar’s Obligations at the Closing. All
obligations of Buyer and Globalstar to complete the purchase of the Purchased
Assets and the other actions listed in Section 11 below are subject to the
fulfillment prior to or at the Closing of each of the following

19. Governing Law; Consent to
Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to
conflicts of laws principles). Any proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts
located in Wilmington, Delaware, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding,
waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of
forum, agrees that all claims in respect of such proceeding shall be heard and
determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any claim or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. The
parties hereto agree that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any
court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement
between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to
convenience of forum. Process in any such proceeding referred to in
the second sentence of this section may be served on any party anywhere in the
world.
(a) by
mutual written consent of Globalstar and Seller;
(b) by
either Globalstar or Seller:
(i) if
the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2009 (the “Termination Date”);
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 21(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement results in the failure of
the Closing to have occurred by such time;
(ii) if
any Restraint shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable;
provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 21(b)(ii) shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent the entry of and to remove such Restraint; or
(iii) if
any condition to the obligation of a party set forth in Section 9 (in the case
of Seller) or in Section 10 (in the case of Globalstar) becomes incapable of
satisfaction prior to or on the Termination Date; provided, however, that the
failure of any such condition to be capable of satisfaction is not the result of
a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this
Agreement;
36
(c) by
Seller, if either Globalstar or Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform
in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform
(A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10,
and (B) is incapable of being cured by Globalstar or Buyer or is not cured
within 20 days following receipt of written notice from Seller of such breach or
failure to perform that specifically references this Section;
(d) by
Globalstar, if Seller shall have breached or failed to perform in any material
respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements
contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give
rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9, and (B) is
incapable of being cured by Seller or is not cured within 20 days following
receipt of written notice from Globalstar of such breach or failure to perform
that specifically references this Section;
(e) by
Globalstar, if Seller shall breach in any material respect its obligations under
Section 8(d) hereof or if any member of Seller shall breach in any material
respect its obligations under the Noncompetition Agreement; which breach (A)
would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9, and
(B) is incapable of being cured by Seller or is not cured within 20 days
following receipt of written notice from Globalstar of such breach that
specifically references this Section.
37
(a) In
order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Globalstar hereby binds
itself, on a joint and several basis, with Buyer for the full performance by
Buyer (or any affiliate or permitted successors or assigns thereof to whom
rights or obligations are duly and validly assigned in conformity with the terms
and conditions hereof) of all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of
Buyer to Seller of every kind, character, and description whatsoever, direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, that arise or are
asserted under either (i) this Agreement or (ii) the xxxx of sale and other
assumption instruments to be executed and delivered by Buyer under this
Agreement (collectively, the “Assumption Agreements”), together with all costs
of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
court costs (the “Obligations”). All references to this Agreement and
the Assumption Agreements include all subsequent amendments thereto or
modifications thereof.
(b) This
is a continuing guaranty of payment, and not of collection, which may be
enforced before or after proceeding against Buyer and shall remain in effect
until Seller duly and expressly notifies Globalstar in writing that (i) Buyer
has performed all of its Obligations under this Agreement and the Assumption
Agreements and that all such agreements have terminated or expired or (ii)
Seller has expressly released Globalstar from its obligations under this
Guaranty. Globalstar waives all pleas of discussion and division,
presentment and demand for payment from Seller, protests and notice of dishonor
and all other notices not expressly required by this Agreement or the Assumption
Agreements, with it being deemed that any notice provided to Buyer under this
Agreement shall be received by Globalstar. All notices to Globalstar
shall be delivered by the same means provided under Section 14 of this
Agreement. Globalstar agrees that the terms of this Agreement and the
Assumption Agreements may be modified from time to time without reducing or in
any way affecting the joint and several liability of Globalstar pursuant to this
Guaranty. Such modifications may include, but are not limited to,
extensions of time for performance of the Obligations by Buyer.
(c) This
Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Seller
under this Agreement and the Assumption Agreements. No sale or
transfer by Buyer of its interest in the Business or the Purchased Assets shall
release or diminish Globalstar’s obligations under this Guaranty.
