Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of funds for the purchase reported in this Statement was the working capital of Master Account, Capital Partners (100), Institutional Partners II, Institutional Partners IIA and Institutional Partners III.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

All of the shares of Common Stock and the securities convertile into Common Stock reported on the Schedule 13D and this Statement as having been acquired for the accounts of the Reporting Persons on the Schedule 13D and this Statement were acquired for investment purposes.

The following summary of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (as defined below), the Series B-1 Preferred Stock (as defined below) and the Amended Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) is not a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Series B Certificate of Designation and the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, each of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 2-5 hereof.

On February 27, 2007, certain of the Reporting Persons completed their purchase of $300,000,098 of convertible perpetual preferred stock of the Issuer.

Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which was originally executed on October 17, 2006, and which was amended and restated on February 27, 2007, Fund Management and/or its affiliates (“MHR”) agreed to purchase $41 million and $259 million of Series A-1 Cumulative 7.50% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and Series B-1 Cumulative 7.50% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), respectively. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into ten shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $30.1504 per share. Prior to the Majority Ownership Date (as defined below), each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into ten shares of Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, par value $0.01, of the Issuer (the “Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $30.1504 per share, which is not currently authorized but will be proposed as a charter amendment to the Issuer’s stockholders at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders that, as announced by the Issuer, is expected to occur in May 2007. After the Majority Ownership Date, each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into ten shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $30.1504 per share.

The terms of both series of Preferred Stock are designed so that, prior to the Majority Ownership Date, any shares of Common Stock issuable in the aggregate to MHR upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, when taken together with MHR’s current holdings of shares of Common Stock, will not represent more than 39.999% of the aggregate voting power of the securities of the Issuer (the “Voting Limitation”). The “Majority Ownership Date” means the earlier of the date that (i) MHR’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, not including any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, represents more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, or (ii) a third party has acquired a majority of the shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis other than pursuant to certain prohibited transfers of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock from MHR. After the Majority Ownership Date, this restriction will no longer apply, and all shares of Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Common Stock.

The Purchase Agreement required the Issuer and Fund Management to use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any regulatory objections to the transaction with the goal of enabling the transactions contemplated thereby to be consummated as promptly as practicable. In connection with such obligations, Fund Management and Issuer agreed to place further limitations upon the voting rights of the securities issuable in the event of a change of control in which a stock “make-whole” payment is triggered. Holders (all of whom are initially certain of the Reporting Persons) who elect to convert their shares of Preferred Stock to Common Stock or Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock in the event of a change of control that would entitle them to a “make-whole” payment will now receive under all circumstances Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock”) or a security that is convertible into Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock as a “make-whole” payment. The Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock (or securities that are convertible into Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock) that are received in respect of the “make-whole” payment will not be exchangeable into Common Stock absent a shareholder vote specifically approving such exchange.

Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to PIK (payment in kind) dividends through April 2011. Thereafter, if the Issuer satisfies certain financial requirements, dividends will be payable in cash or in kind at the Issuer’s option. The Issuer will be able to cause the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock or Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock after 5.5 years from issuance if the Common Stock is trading above certain volume thresholds and above 125 percent of the conversion price of the Preferred Stock at that time for twenty trading days in a 30 trading day period.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, MHR has the right to nominate one new member to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). Following the election of this nominee, MHR’s employees, officers or other representatives will hold four of the nine seats on the Board. If the Issuer fails to make three dividend payments when required under the terms of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional directors, but such additional directors must not be officers or employees of MHR if their appointment would result in MHR employees, officers or other representatives constituting a majority of the Board. If the additional directors would cause a majority of the Board to be appointed by the holders of the Preferred Stock, then these additional directors will be appointed when they are reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with, and upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer and Loral Skynet entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with MHR (the “Amended Registration Rights Agreement”). The Amended Registration Rights Agreement provides that the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock acquired by MHR in the transaction, as well as the shares of Common Stock and Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock into which such shares are convertible, as the case may be, will be registrable securities and entitled to registration rights under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement. The Amended Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the shares of Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, or the securities that are convertible into Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, as the case may be, when issued as a “make-whole” payment, will be registrable securities and entitled to registration rights under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons currently has additional plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D. However, from time to time the Reporting Persons may evaluate the possibility of disposing of or acquiring shares of Common Stock, or entering into various corporate transactions involving the Issuer. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons.

From time to time each of the Reporting Persons may lend portfolio securities to brokers, banks or other financial institutions. These loans typically obligate the borrower to return the securities, or an equal amount of securities of the same class, to the lender and typically provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise voting rights and retain dividends during the term of the loan.
