We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information about us and about the shares of our common stock being sold in this offering and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, and the section entitled “Risk factors” before making an investment decision. Unless the context requires otherwise, the words “ORBCOMM”, “we”, “company”, “us”, and “our” refer to ORBCOMM Inc. and its subsidiaries.
OUR COMPANY
We operate the only global commercial wireless messaging system optimized for narrowband communications. Our system consists of a global network of 30 low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure. Our two-way communications system enables our customers and end-users, which include large and established multinational businesses and government agencies, to track, monitor, control and communicate cost-effectively with fixed and mobile assets located anywhere in the world. Our products and services enable our customers and end-users to enhance productivity, reduce costs and improve security through a variety of commercial, government and emerging homeland security applications. We enable our customers and end-users to achieve these benefits using a single global technology standard for machine-to-machine and telematic, or M2M, data communications. Our customers have made significant investments in developing ORBCOMM-based applications. Examples of assets that are connected through our M2M data communications system include trucks, trailers, railcars, containers, heavy equipment, fluid tanks, utility meters, pipeline monitoring equipment, marine vessels and oil wells. Our customers include value-added resellers, or VARs, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, such as Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and the Volvo Group, service providers, such as the Equipment Services business of General Electric Company, and government agencies, such as the United States Coast Guard.
Through our M2M data communications system, our customers and end-users can send and receive information to and from any place in the world using low cost subscriber communicators and paying airtime costs that we believe are the lowest in the industry for global connectivity. We believe that there is no other satellite or terrestrial network currently in operation that can offer global two-way wireless narrowband data service coverage at comparable cost using a single technology standard worldwide. We are currently authorized, either directly or indirectly, to provide our communications services in over 75 countries and territories in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 113,000 billable subscriber communicators activated on our system and during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our billable subscriber communicator net additions totaled approximately 24,000 units as compared to net additions of approximately 9,800 units during the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 145%. We believe that our target markets are significant and growing. Harbor Research, Inc., an independent strategic research firm, estimates that the number of vehicles, devices and units worldwide in the commercial transportation, heavy equipment, fixed asset monitoring, marine vessel, consumer transportation, and government and homeland security markets which are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks will grow from approximately 18.5 million in 2006 to approximately 129.5 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38.3%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices for these target markets to increase from approximately 1.2% in 2006 to approximately 6.6% by 2012.
Our unique M2M data communications system is comprised of three elements: (i) a constellation of 30 LEO satellites in multiple orbital planes between 435 and 550 miles above the Earth operating in the Very High Frequency, or VHF, radio frequency spectrum, (ii) related ground infrastructure, including 13 gateway earth stations, five regional gateway control centers and a network control center in

Dulles, Virginia, through which data sent to and from subscriber communicators are routed and (iii) subscriber communicators attached to a variety of fixed and mobile assets worldwide.
In April 2001, we acquired substantially all of the non-cash assets of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries, which had originally designed, developed, constructed and put into service almost all of our current communications system. The transaction also involved the acquisition of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, licenses necessary to operate the system.
Following the acquisition, we implemented a turn-around plan to stabilize our operations and to preserve and substantially enhance the value of the acquired business, while substantially reducing costs and redefining our strategy, including:
  Lowering the prices, improving features and performance, and introducing new models of our subscriber communicators;
 
  Implementing a revised, low cost, multi-channel marketing and distribution model;
 
  Implementing changes intended to extend the operational lives of existing satellites; and
 
  Enhancing network capabilities.
As a result of our turn-around strategy, our revenues increased from $3.3 million in 2002 to $15.5 million in 2005, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 67% and the number of billable subscriber communicators (subscriber communicators activated and billing) on our system increased from approximately 31,000 at the end of 2002 to approximately 113,000 by the end of 2005. As of December 31, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were $68.7 million. We anticipate that our cash on hand and our net proceeds from this offering, along with anticipated cash flows from operations, will fully fund our projected business plans.
Our principal products and services are satellite communications services and subscriber communicators. We provide global M2M data communications services through our satellite-based system. We focus our communications services on narrowband data applications. These data messages are typically sent by a remote subscriber communicator through our satellite system to our ground facilities for forwarding through an appropriate terrestrial communications network to the ultimate destination. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Stellar Satellite Communications Ltd., markets and sells subscriber communicators manufactured by Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, directly to customers. We also earn royalties from the sale of subscriber communicators manufactured by two other manufacturers, Quake Global, Inc. and Mobile Applitech, Inc. Currently, there are 11 different models of subscriber communicators available for sale and use on our communications system.
Increasingly, businesses and governments face the need to track, control, monitor and communicate with fixed and mobile assets that are located throughout the world. At the same time, these assets increasingly incorporate microprocessors, sensors and other devices that can provide a variety of information about the asset’s location, condition, operation or measurements and respond to external commands. As these intelligent devices proliferate, we believe that the need to establish two-way communications with these devices is greater than ever. Increasingly, owners and users of these intelligent devices are seeking communications systems that will enable them to communicate with these devices in a low cost and efficient manner.
Our products and services are typically combined with industry- or customer-specific applications developed by our resellers which are sold to their end-user customers. We do not generally market to end-users directly; instead, we utilize a cost-effective sales and marketing strategy of partnering with approximately 125 resellers (i.e., VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives). These resellers, which are our direct customers, market to end-users in the following markets:
  Commercial transportation— Large trucking and trailer leasing companies require applications that report location, engine diagnostic data, driver performance, fuel consumption, compliance, rapid

Table of Contents

decelerations, fuel taxes, driver logs and zone adherence in order to manage their fleets more safely and efficiently. Truck and trailer fleet owners and operators, as well as truck and trailer OEMs, are increasingly integrating M2M data communications systems into their trucks and trailers in order to achieve these objectives;

  Heavy equipment— Heavy equipment fleet owners and leasing companies seeking to improve fleet productivity and profitability require applications that report diagnostic information, location (including for purposes of geo-fencing), time-of-use information, emergency notification, driver usage and maintenance alerts for their heavy equipment, which may be geographically dispersed, often in remote, difficult to reach locations. Using M2M data communications systems, heavy equipment fleet operators can remotely manage the productivity and mechanical condition of their equipment fleets, potentially lowering operating costs through preventive maintenance;
 
  Fixed asset monitoring— Companies with widely dispersed fixed assets require a means of collecting data from remote assets to monitor productivity, minimize downtime and realize other operational benefits, as well as managing and controlling the functions of such assets, including for example, the remote operation of valves, electrical switches and other devices. M2M data communications systems can provide industrial companies with applications for automated meter reading, oil and gas storage tank monitoring, pipeline monitoring and environmental monitoring, which can reduce operating costs for these companies, including labor costs, fuel costs, and the expense of on-site monitoring and maintenance;
 
  Marine vessels— Maritime vessels have a need for satellite-based communications due to the absence of reliable terrestrial-based coverage more than a few miles offshore. Luxury recreational marine vessels and commercial fishing vessels may use M2M data communications systems that offer features and functions such as onboard diagnostics and other marine telematics, alarms, requests for assistance, security, location reporting/tracking, e-mail and two-way messaging, catch data and weather reports;
 
  Government and homeland security— Governments worldwide are seeking to address the global terror threat by monitoring land borders and hazardous materials, as well as marine vessels and containers. In addition, modern military and public safety forces use a variety of applications, particularly in supply chain management, logistics and support, which could incorporate our products and services. M2M data communications systems could be used in applications to monitor marine vessels or containers, detect infiltration across land borders or monitor the status of container door seals to address these homeland security needs. In addition, we may also be able to leverage our work with the Automatic Identification System, or AIS, to resell, subject in certain circumstances to U.S. Coast Guard approval, AIS data collected on our network to other coast guard services and governmental agencies; and
 
  Consumer transportation— Automotive companies are seeking a means to address the growing need for safety systems in passenger vehicles and to broadcast a single message to multiple vehicles at one time. An example of such a safety system is the detection and reporting of airbag deployment. While our system currently has latency limitations which make it impractical for us to address this market fully, we believe that our existing network may be used with dual-mode devices, combining our subscriber communicators with communications devices for cellular networks, allowing our communications services to function as an effective back-up system by filling the coverage gaps in current cellular or wireless networks used in consumer transportation applications. In addition, we may undertake additional capital expenditures beyond our current capital plan in order to expand our satellite constellation and lower our latencies to the level that addresses the requirements of resellers and OEMs developing applications for this market if we believe the economic returns justify such an investment. We believe we can supplement our satellite constellation within the lead time required to integrate applications using our communications system into the automotive OEM product development cycle.

OUR BUSINESS STRENGTHS AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
We believe our business strengths and competitive advantages include:
  Established global network and proven technology— We believe our global network and technology enable us to offer superior products and services to the end-users of our communications system in terms of comprehensive coverage, reliability and compatibility. Our global network provides worldwide coverage, including in international waters, allowing end-users to access our communications system in areas outside the coverage of terrestrial networks, such as cellular, paging and other wireless networks. Our proven technology offers full two-way M2M data communication (with acknowledgement of message receipt) with minimal line-of-sight limitations and no performance issues during adverse weather conditions, which distinguishes us from other satellite communications systems;
 
  Low cost structure— We have a significant cost advantage over any potential new LEO satellite system competitor with respect to our current satellite constellation, because we acquired the majority of our current communications system assets from ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries out of bankruptcy for a fraction of their original cost. In addition, because our LEO satellites are relatively small and deployed into low-Earth orbit, the constellation is less expensive and easier to launch and maintain than larger LEO satellites and large geostationary satellites. We also have less complex and less costly ground infrastructure and subscriber communication equipment than other satellite communications providers;
 
  Sole commercial satellite operator licensed in the VHF spectrum— We are the sole commercial satellite operator licensed to operate in the VHF spectrum by the FCC or any other national spectrum or radio- telecommunications regulatory agency in the world. The VHF spectrum that we use was allocated globally by the International Telecommunication Union, or ITU, for use by satellite fleets such as ours to provide mobile data communications service. We are currently authorized, either directly or indirectly, to provide our data communications services in over 75 countries and territories in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. The VHF signals used to communicate between our satellites and subscriber communicators are not affected by weather and are less dependent on line-of-sight access to our satellites than other satellite communications systems. In addition, our longer wavelength signals enable our satellites to communicate reliably over longer distances at lower power levels. Higher power requirements of commercial satellite systems in other spectrum bands are a significant factor in their higher cost and technical complexity;
 
  Significant market lead over satellite-based competitors— We believe that we have a significant market lead in providing M2M data communications services that meet the coverage and cost requirements in the rapidly developing asset management and supply chain markets. The process required to establish a competing satellite-based system with the advantages of a VHF system includes obtaining regulatory permits to launch and operate satellites and to provide communications services, and the design, development and construction of a communications system. We believe that a minimum of five years and significant investments in time and resources would be required for another satellite-based M2M data communications service provider to develop the capability to offer comparable services;
 
  Key distribution and OEM customer relationships— Our strategic relationships with key distributors and OEMs have enabled us to streamline our sales and distribution channels and shift much of the risk and cost of developing and marketing applications to others. We have established strategic relationships with key service providers, such as GE Equipment Services, the world’s largest lessor of trailers, containers and railcars, and XATA Corporation, a leading provider of tracking solutions for the trucking industry, including to Penske Corporation, the leading truck leasing company in the United States, and major OEMs, such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi and Volvo; and
 
  Reliable, low cost subscriber communicators— We have manufacturing arrangements that provide us with industrial-scale manufacturing capability for the supply of low cost, reliable, ISO-9000

Table of Contents

certified, automotive grade subscriber communicators and the ability to scale up such manufacturing rapidly to meet additional demand, as well as arrangements with independent third party manufacturers who supply our customers and end-users directly with low cost subscriber communicators. As a result of these manufacturing relationships, we have significantly reduced the selling price of our subscriber communicators from approximately $280 per unit in 2003 to as little as $100 per unit in volume in 2006.

OUR STRATEGY
Our strategy is to leverage our business strengths and key competitive advantages to increase the number of subscriber communicators activated on our M2M data communications system, both in existing and new markets. We are focused on increasing our market share of customers with the potential for a high number of connections with lower usage applications. We believe that the service revenue associated with each additional subscriber communicator activated on our communications system will more than offset the negligible incremental cost of adding such subscriber communicator to our system and, as a result, positively impact our results of operations. We plan to continue to target multinational companies and government agencies to increase substantially our penetration of what we believe is a significant and growing addressable market. We are pursuing the following business strategies:
  Expand our low cost, multi-channel marketing and distribution network of resellers;
 
  Expand our international markets;
 
  Further reduce subscriber communicator costs;
 
  Reduce network latency;
 
  Introduce new features and services; and
 
  Provide comprehensive technical support, customer service and quality control.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The following sets forth certain recent developments in our business:
  We achieved a 22% increase in the total number of billable subscriber communicators, or approximately 24,000 units added, during the first quarter of 2006. This compares to a 10% increase, or approximately 9,800 units added, during the fourth quarter of 2005. As of March 31, 2006, there were approximately 138,000 billable subscriber communicators activated on our communications system;
 
  In November and December 2005 and January 2006, we completed equity financings totaling $72.5 million led by Pacific Corporate Group (PCG), which funded $30 million. New investors, in addition to PCG, included investment firms MH Equity Investors and Torch Hill Capital. Several existing investors also participated in these financings, including Ridgewood Capital, OHB Technology A.G., Northwood Ventures LLC and our senior management. In January 2006, we paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on our Series A preferred stock, totaling $8.0 million, of which $1.3 million was reinvested by holders of our Series A preferred stock in shares of our Series B preferred stock in the equity financings;
 
  On March 14, 2006, the Trailer Fleet Services and Asset Intelligence divisions of GE Equipment Services announced an agreement under which GE will supply Wal-Mart with trailer tracking technology for its fleet of 46,000 over-the-road trailers using our M2M data communications system. GE Equipment Services has placed orders with our Stellar subsidiary for 87,000 subscriber communicators to support this and other customer rollouts during 2006;

Dividend Policy We have never declared or paid cash dividends on shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of our Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, we paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such preferred stock, in an amount of $8.0 million, on January 6, 2006. Our Series A preferred stock is no longer entitled to any accumulated dividends. Pursuant to the terms of our Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on our Series B preferred stock, in an amount of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2006 become payable in cash upon the conversion of the Series B preferred stock into common stock upon completion of this offering. The Series B preferred stock dividends will increase by $726,000 per month until conversion. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings after this offering for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any further cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors may, from time to time, examine our dividend policy and may, in their absolute discretion, change such policy.
Throughout this prospectus, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this offering is based on shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2005 and:

(1) The net loss applicable to common shares for the year ended December 31, 2004 is based on our net loss for the period from February 17, 2004, the date on which the members of Orbcomm LLC contributed all of their outstanding membership interests in exchange for shares of our common stock, through December 31, 2004. Net loss attributable to the period from January 1, 2004 to February 16, 2004 (prior to the Company becoming a corporation and issuing its common shares), has been excluded from the net loss applicable to common shares. As a result, net loss per common share for 2004 is not comparable to net loss per common share for 2005.
 
(2) Upon completion of this offering, all outstanding shares of Series A and Series B preferred stock will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of common stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends on Series B preferred stock will become due and payable. The effect of this conversion has been reflected in the pro forma net loss per common share and pro forma weighted average common shares outstanding.
 
(3) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because it is one of the primary measures used by us to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including our ability to obtain and maintain our customers, our ability to operate our business effectively, the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance; it also helps our management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from our operating results. In addition, our management uses EBITDA in presentations to our board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance and liquidity used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget.
 
EBITDA is not a performance measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance and liquidity, it should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net loss, net cash flows from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA measures presented by other companies.

Risk factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this prospectus before you decide whether to invest in shares of our common stock. Our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results or cash flows may be materially and adversely affected by the following risks, or other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or currently consider to be immaterial. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
We are incurring substantial operating losses and net losses. We anticipate additional future losses. We must significantly increase our revenues to become profitable.
We have had annual net losses since our inception, including a net loss of $9.1 million for fiscal year 2005 and cumulative net losses of $48.6 million through December 31, 2005. Our future results will continue to reflect significant operating expenses, including expenses associated with expanding our sales and marketing efforts, establishing the infrastructure to operate as a public company and product development for our subscriber communicator products for use with our system. As a result, we anticipate additional operating losses and net losses for 2006 and may incur additional losses in the future. Moreover, our operating history to date may not provide an accurate indication of our future results because it reflects the acquisition of the assets which comprise substantially all of the present communications system out of bankruptcy at a purchase price which reflects a substantial discount to their historical cost and carrying value. The continued development of our business also will require additional capital expenditures for, among other things, the development, construction and launch of additional satellites, including more capable next-generation satellites, the development of more advanced subscriber communicators for use with our system and the installation of additional gateway earth stations and gateway control centers around the world. Accordingly, as we make these capital investments, our future results will include greater depreciation and amortization expense which reflect the full cost of acquiring these new assets. As a result, our losses may continue or increase in the future.
In order to become profitable, we must achieve substantial revenue growth. Revenue growth will depend on acceptance of our products and services by end-users in current markets, as well as in new geographic and industry markets. Although we have implemented a number of expense reduction initiatives to reduce our operating expenses, expense reductions alone, without revenue growth, will not enable us to achieve profitability. We may not become profitable and we may not be able to sustain such profitability, if achieved.
We have limited capital resources and capital needed for our business may not be available when we need it.
Our existing sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, the proceeds of this offering and cash expected to be generated from sales of our products and services may not be sufficient to fund our anticipated operations, capital expenditures (including the deployment of additional satellites), working capital and other financing requirements. If we continue to incur operating losses in the future, we may need to reduce further our operating costs or obtain alternate sources of financing, or both, to remain viable and, in particular, to fund the design, production and launch of additional satellites, including a next-generation of more capable satellites. We cannot assure you that we will have access to additional sources of capital on favorable terms or at all.

If end-users do not accept our services and the applications developed by value-added resellers or we cannot obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or licenses for particular countries or territories, we will fail to attract new customers and our business will be harmed.
Our success depends on end-users accepting our services, the applications developed by value-added resellers, and a number of other factors, including the technical capabilities of our system, the availability of low cost subscriber communicators, the receipt and maintenance of regulatory and other approvals in the United States and other countries and territories in which we operate, the price of our services and the applications developed by value-added resellers and the extent and availability of competitive or alternative services. We may not succeed in increasing revenue from the sale of our products and services to new and existing customers. Our failure to significantly increase the number of end-users will harm our business.
Our business plan assumes that potential customers and end-users will accept certain limitations inherent in our system. For example, our system is optimized for small packet, or narrowband, data transmissions, is subject to certain delays in the relay of messages, referred to as latencies, and may be subject to certain line-of-sight limitations between our satellites and the end-user’s subscriber communicator. In addition, our system is not capable of handling voice traffic. Certain potential end-users, particularly those requiring full time, real-time communications and those requiring the transmission of large amounts of data (greater than eight kilobytes per message) or voice traffic, may find such limitations unacceptable.
In addition to the limitations imposed by the architecture of our system, our failure to obtain the necessary regulatory and other approvals or licenses in a given country or territory will preclude the availability of our services in such country or territory until such time, if at all, that such approvals or licenses can be obtained. Certain potential end-users requiring messaging services in those countries and territories may find such limitations unacceptable.
We face competition from existing and potential competitors in the telecommunications industry, including numerous terrestrial and satellite-based network systems with greater resources, which could reduce our market share and revenues.
Competition in the telecommunications industry is intense, fueled by rapid, continuous technological advances and alliances between industry participants seeking to capture significant market share. We face competition from numerous existing and potential alternative telecommunications products and services provided by various large and small companies, including sophisticated two-way satellite-based data and voice communication services and next-generation digital cellular services, such as GSM and 3G. In addition, a continuing trend toward consolidation and strategic alliances in the telecommunications industry could give rise to significant new competitors, and any foreign competitor may benefit from subsidies from, or other protective measures by, its home country. Some of these competitors may provide more efficient or less expensive services than we are able to provide, which could reduce our market share and adversely affect our revenues and business.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Additionally, many of these companies have greater name recognition and more established relationships with our target customers. Furthermore, these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer customers more attractive terms than we can.

We have material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
We have experienced severe working capital constraints for several years and, as a result, we have operated with limited staffing of accounting functions and with less formal accounting controls than a public company would have. These circumstances have increased demands on our internal accounting and finance staff.
Material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with our 2005 and 2004 audits. These material weaknesses relate to internal communication issues between our management and the internal accounting staff on significant and/or complex transactions; a lack of thorough and rigorous review of contractual documents supporting complex transactions; a significant number of adjustments to our 2005 and 2004 financial statements, the recording of which resulted in material changes to the results of operations for each year; a lack of formal internal control procedures and the attendant control framework required to enforce those procedures; and a lack of qualified accounting personnel, specifically within the external reporting area. Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were also identified in connection with our 2003 audit, in particular, insufficient formalized procedures to ensure that all relevant documents relating to accounting transactions were made available to our accounting department; lack of communication on a timely basis from upper management to our accounting department on significant and/or complex transactions; and several instances of transactions that were not properly recorded in the general ledger, leading to a significant number of adjustments. To remedy these weaknesses, we have hired key senior accounting and finance employees to help enhance internal controls and other systems to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition to addressing the staffing of our accounting and finance function, we are also focused on enhancing our ability to provide adequate, accurate and timely financial information to meet our reporting obligations and comply with the requirements of the SEC, The Nasdaq National Market, or Nasdaq, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have engaged a national consulting firm to assist us with complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are also in the process of implementing an integrated accounting and financial system infrastructure, which we believe will allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our internal controls, as required by the management certification and auditor attestation requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be performing system and process evaluation and testing and undertaking any necessary remediation of our internal control system on an ongoing basis. We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our evaluation and testing and any necessary remediation or the impact of the same on our operations. Our development, implementation and maintenance of appropriate internal controls will depend materially both on our successful hiring and retention of key senior accounting and finance personnel.
If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, to implement and integrate financial reporting and accounting systems or if we are unable to scale these systems to our growth, we may not have adequate, accurate or timely financial information, material errors in our financial statements may go undetected and we may be unable to meet our reporting obligations or comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, Nasdaq or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could result in the imposition of sanctions, including the suspension or delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq and the inability of registered broker dealers to make a market in our common stock, or investigation by regulatory authorities. Any such action or other negative results caused by our inability to meet our reporting requirements or comply with legal and regulatory requirements or by disclosure of an accounting, reporting or control issue could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate your investment in us.
We have conducted commercial operations only since April 2001, when we acquired substantially all of our current communications system from ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries. Our prospects and ability to implement our current business plan, including our ability to provide commercial two-way data communications service in key markets on a global basis and to generate revenues and positive operating cash flows, will depend on our ability to, among other things:
  successfully construct, launch, place in commercial service, operate and maintain our quick-launch and next-generation satellites in a timely and cost-effective manner;
 
  develop licensing and distribution arrangements in key markets within and outside the United States sufficient to capture and retain an adequate customer base;
 
  install the necessary ground infrastructure and obtain and maintain the necessary regulatory and other approvals in key markets outside the United States through our existing or future international licensees to expand our business internationally;
 
  provide for the timely design, manufacture and distribution of subscriber communicators in sufficient quantities, with appropriate functional characteristics and at competitive prices, for various applications; and
 
  raise additional capital on favorable terms in order to pursue our growth strategy.
Given our limited operating history, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives or develop a sufficiently large revenue-generating customer base to achieve profitability. In particular, because we acquired a fully operational satellite constellation and communications system from ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries our current management team has limited experience with managing the design, construction and launch of a satellite system.
We rely on third parties to market and distribute our services to end-users. If these parties are unwilling or unable to provide applications and services to end-users, our business will be harmed.
We rely on VARs to market and distribute our services to end-users in the United States and on international licensees, country representatives, VARs and international value added resellers, or IVARs, outside the United States. The willingness of companies to become international licensees, country representatives, VARs and IVARs (which we refer to as resellers) will depend on a number of factors, including whether they perceive our services to be compatible with their existing businesses, whether they believe we will successfully deploy next-generation satellites, whether the prices they can charge end-users will provide an adequate return, and regulatory restrictions, if any. We believe that successful marketing of our services will depend on the design, development and commercial availability of applications that support the specific needs of the targeted end-users. The design, development and implementation of applications require the commitment of substantial financial and technological resources on the part of these resellers. Certain resellers are, and many potential resellers will be, newly formed or small ventures with limited financial resources, and such entities might not be successful in their efforts to design applications or effectively market our services. The inability of these resellers to provide applications to end-users could have a harmful effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also believe that our success depends upon the pricing of applications by our resellers to end-users, over which we have no control.

Risk factors
 
Defects or errors in applications could result in end-users not being able to use our services, which would damage our reputation and harm our financial condition.
VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives must develop applications quickly to keep pace with rapidly changing markets. These applications have long development cycles and are likely to contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when subsequent versions are introduced, which could result in the disruption of our services to the end-users. While we sometimes assist our resellers in developing applications, we have limited ability to accelerate development cycles to avoid errors and defects in their applications. Such disruption could damage our reputation as well as the reputation of the respective resellers, and result in lost customers, lost revenue, diverted development resources, and increased service and warranty costs.
Because we depend on a few significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenues, the loss of a key customer could seriously harm our business.
We market and sell our products and services directly to OEM and government customers and indirectly through VARs, IVARs, licensees and country representatives. We have derived a substantial portion of our revenues in the past from sales to a relatively small number of customers. Our top two customers by revenue represented 45.1% of our revenues for fiscal 2005, including GE Equipment Services, which represented 31.4% of our revenues for fiscal 2005, primarily from sales to GE Equipment Services of subscriber communicators by our Stellar Satellite Communications, Ltd. subsidiary. We expect that a small number of reseller and OEM customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenues in fiscal 2006 and in the future. As a result, the loss of any significant customer, which could occur at any time, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our international licensees and country representatives are not successful in establishing their businesses outside of the United States, the prospects for our business will be limited.
Outside of the United States, we rely largely on international licensees and country representatives to establish businesses in their respective territories, including obtaining and maintaining necessary regulatory and other approvals as well as managing local VARs. International licensees and country representatives may not be successful in obtaining and maintaining the necessary regulatory and other approvals to provide our services in their assigned territories and, even if those approvals are obtained, international licensees and/or country representatives may not be successful in developing a market and/or distribution network within their territories. Certain of the international licensees and/or country representatives are, or are likely to be, newly formed or small ventures with limited or no operational history and limited financial resources, and any such entities may not be successful in their efforts to secure adequate financing and to continue operating. In addition, in certain countries and territories outside the United States, we rely on international licensees and country representatives to operate and maintain various components of our system, such as gateway earth stations. These international licensees and country representatives may not be successful in operating and maintaining such components of our communications system and may not have the same financial incentives as we do to maintain those components in good repair.
Some of our international licensees and country representatives are experiencing significant operational and financial difficulties and have in the past defaulted on their obligations to us.
Many of our international licensees and country representatives were also international licensees and country representatives of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and, as a consequence of the bankruptcy of ORBCOMM Global L.P., they were left in many cases with significant financial problems, including significant debt and insufficient working capital. Certain of our international licensees and country

representatives (including in Japan, Korea, Malaysia, parts of South America and to a lesser extent, Europe) have not been able to successfully or adequately reorganize or recapitalize themselves and as a result have continued to experience significant material difficulties, including the failure to pay us for our services. To date, several of our licensees and country representatives have had difficulty in paying their usage fees and have not paid us or have paid us at reduced rates. Accordingly, we have had to recognize lower revenues from our international licensees and country representatives than their usage would indicate. Their ability to pay their obligations to us may be dependent, in many cases, upon their ability to successfully restructure their business and operations. In addition, we have from time to time had disagreements with certain of our international licensees related to these operational and financial difficulties. To the extent international licensees and country representatives are unable to reorganize and/or raise additional capital to execute their business plans on favorable terms (or are delayed in doing so), our ability to offer services internationally will be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely effected.
We rely on a limited number of manufacturers for our subscriber communicators. If we are unable to, or cannot find third parties to, manufacture a sufficient quantity of subscriber communicators at a reasonable price, the prospects for our business will be negatively impacted.
The development and availability on a timely basis of relatively inexpensive subscriber communicators are critical to the successful commercial operation of our system. There are currently three manufacturers of subscriber communicators, including Quake Global Inc., Mobile Applitech, Inc. and our Stellar Satellite Communications, Ltd. subsidiary, which relies on a contract manufacturer, Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, to produce subscriber communicators. Our customers may not be able to obtain a sufficient supply of subscriber communicators at price points or with functional characteristics and reliability that meet their needs. An inability to successfully develop and manufacture subscriber communicators that meet the needs of customers and are available in sufficient numbers and at prices that render our services cost-effective to customers could limit the acceptance of our system and potentially affect the quality of our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Delphi Corporation recently filed for bankruptcy protection. Our business may be materially and adversely affected if Stellar’s agreement with Delphi Corporation is terminated or modified as part of Delphi’s reorganization in bankruptcy or otherwise. As part of our arbitration proceeding instituted against Quake Global, Inc. (described under “Business—Legal Proceedings—Quake”), we are seeking a declaration that we have the right to terminate our manufacturing agreement with Quake. If our agreements with third party manufacturers are, or Stellar’s agreement with Delphi Corporation is, terminated or expire, our search for additional or alternate manufacturers could result in significant delays, added expense and an inability to maintain or expand our customer base. Any of these events could require us to take unforeseen actions or devote additional resources to provide our services and could harm our ability to compete effectively.
We depend on recruiting and retaining qualified personnel and our inability to do so would seriously harm our business.
Because of the technical nature of our services and the market in which we compete, our success depends on the continued services of our current executive officers and certain of our engineering personnel, and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees, including Jerome B. Eisenberg, our Chief Executive Officer, or certain key technical personnel, such as John J. Stolte, Jr., our Executive Vice President, Technology and Operations, or our inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business and our financial condition and results of

operations. We do not have key-man life insurance policies covering any of our executive officers or key technical personnel. Competitors and others have in the past, and may in the future, attempt to recruit our employees. The available pool of individuals with relevant experience in the satellite industry is limited, and the process of identifying and recruiting personnel with the skills necessary to operate our system can be lengthy and expensive. In addition, new employees generally require substantial training, which requires significant resources and management attention. Even if we invest significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel, we may not be successful in our efforts.
Our management team is subject to a variety of demands for its attention and rapid growth and litigation could further strain our management and other resources and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently face a variety of challenges, including establishing the infrastructure and systems necessary for us to operate as a public company, addressing our pending litigation matters and managing the recent rapid expansion of our business. Our recent growth and expansion has increased our number of employees and the responsibilities of our management team. Any litigation, regardless of the merit or resolution, could be costly and divert the efforts and attention of our management. As we continue to expand, we may further strain our management and other resources. Our failure to meet these challenges as a result of insufficient management or other resources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to litigation proceedings that could adversely affect our business.
We may be subject to legal claims or regulatory matters involving stockholder, consumer, antitrust and other issues. As described in “Business—Legal Proceedings”, we are currently engaged in a number of litigation matters. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include money damages or, in cases for which injunctive relief is sought, an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or selling one or more products. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurred or future periods.
Our business is characterized by rapid technological change and we may not be able to compete with new and emerging technologies.
We operate in the telecommunications industry, which is characterized by extensive research and development efforts and rapid technological change. New and advanced technology which can perform essentially the same functions as our service (though without global coverage), such as next-generation digital cellular networks (GSM and 3G), direct broadcast satellites, and other forms of wireless transmission, are in various stages of development by others in the industry. These technologies are being developed, supported and rolled out by entities that may have significantly greater resources than we do. These technologies could adversely impact the demand for our services. Research and development by others may lead to technologies that render some or all of our services non-competitive or obsolete in the future.
Because we operate in a highly regulated industry, we may be subjected to increased regulatory restrictions which could disrupt our service or increase our operating costs.
System operators and service providers are subject to extensive regulation under the laws of various countries and the rules and policies they adopt. These rules and policies, among other things, establish technical parameters for the operation of facilities and subscriber communicators, determine the permissible uses of facilities and subscriber communicators, and establish the terms and conditions

pursuant to which our international licensees and country representatives operate their facilities, including certain of the gateway earth stations and gateway control centers in our system. These rules and policies may also require our international licensees and country representatives to cut-off the data passing through the gateway earth stations or gateway control centers without notifying us or our end-users, significantly disrupting the operation of our communications system. These rules and policies may also regulate the use of subscriber communicators within certain countries or territories. International and domestic licensing and certification requirements may cause a delay in the marketing of our services and products, may impose costly procedures on our international licensees and country representatives, and may give a competitive advantage to larger companies that compete with our international licensees and country representatives. Possible future changes to regulations and policies in the countries in which we operate may result in additional regulatory requirements or restrictions on the services and equipment we provide, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Although we believe that we or our international licensees and country representatives have obtained all the licenses required to conduct our business as it is operated today, we may not be able to obtain, modify or maintain such licenses in the future. Moreover, changes in international or domestic licensing and certification requirements may result in disruptions of our communications services or alternatively result in added operational costs, which could harm our business. Our use of certain orbital planes and VHF assignments, as licensed by the FCC, is subject to the frequency coordination and registration process of the ITU. In the event disputes arise during coordination, the ITU’s radio regulations do not contain mandatory dispute resolution or enforcement mechanisms and neither the ITU specifically, nor international law generally, provides clear remedies in this situation.
Our business would be negatively impacted if the FCC revokes or fails to renew or amend our licenses.
Our FCC licenses— a license for the satellite constellation, separate licenses for the four U.S. gateway earth stations and a blanket license for the subscriber communicators— are subject to revocation if we fail to satisfy certain conditions or to meet certain prescribed milestones. While the FCC satellite constellation license is valid for a period of fifteen years from the operational date of the first satellite (April 11, 1995), we are required, three years prior to expiration of the FCC satellite constellation license, in April 2010, to apply for a license renewal with the FCC. The U.S. gateway earth station and subscriber communicator licenses were renewed in 2005 for fifteen-year periods and will expire in 2020. Renewal applications for those licenses must be filed between 30 and 90 days prior to expiration. There can be no assurance that the FCC will in fact renew our FCC licenses. If the FCC revokes or fails to renew our FCC licenses, or if we fail to satisfy any of the conditions of our FCC licenses, such action could have a material adverse impact on our business. In January 2006, we applied for an increase in the number of subscriber communicators permitted under our blanket subscriber communicator license from 200,000 to 1,000,000 units. Although we believe this increase will be granted, a failure of the FCC to grant such an increase would limit our future growth, as it would limit us to 200,000 subscriber communicators in the United States. We anticipate that the FCC will act on our modification request in June 2006; however, there can be no assurance that the modification will be granted on a timely basis or at all. Finally, our business could be adversely affected by the adoption of new laws, policies or regulations, or changes in the interpretation or application of existing laws, policies and regulations that modify the present regulatory environment.
Our business would be harmed if our international licensees and country representatives fail to acquire and retain all necessary regulatory approvals.
Our business is affected by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which we operate. Due to foreign ownership restrictions in various jurisdictions around the world, obtaining local regulatory approval for operation of our system is the responsibility of our international licensees and/or country

representatives in each of these licensed territories. In addition, in certain countries regulatory frameworks may be rudimentary or in an early stage of development, which can make it difficult or impossible to license and operate our system in such jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that our international licensees and/or country representatives will be successful in obtaining any additional approvals that may be desirable and, if they are not successful, we will be unable to provide service in such countries. Our inability to offer service in one or more important new markets, particularly in China or India, would have a negative impact on our ability to generate more revenue and would diminish our business prospects.
There are numerous risks inherent to our international operations that are beyond our control.
International telecommunications services are subject to country and region risks. Most of our coverage area and some of our subsidiaries are outside the Unites States. As a result, we are subject to certain risks on a country-by-country (or region-by-region) basis, including changes in domestic and foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards, licensing requirements, tariffs or taxes and other trade barriers, exchange controls, expropriation, and political and economic instability, including fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies which may make payment in U.S. dollars more expensive for foreign customers or payment in foreign currencies less valuable for us. Certain of these risks may be greater in developing countries or regions, where economic, political or diplomatic conditions may be significantly more volatile than those commonly experienced in the United States and other industrialized countries.
We do not currently maintain in-orbit insurance for our satellites.
We do not currently maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for our satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting the existing satellite constellation. We may obtain launch insurance for future launches of replacement and next-generation satellites. However, any determination as to whether we procure insurance, including in-orbit and launch insurance, will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of insurance in the market and the cost of available insurance. We may not be able to obtain insurance at reasonable costs. Even if we obtain insurance, it may not be sufficient to compensate us for the losses we may suffer due to applicable deductions and exclusions. If we experience significant uninsured losses, such events could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR TECHNOLOGY
We do not currently have back-up facilities for our network control center. In the event of a general failure at our network control center, our system will be disrupted and our operations will be harmed.
The core control segment of our system is housed at our network control center in Dulles, Virginia. We currently do not have back-up facilities for certain essential command and control functions that are performed by our network control center, and as a result, our system and business operations remain vulnerable to the possibility of a failure at our network control center. There would be a severe disruption to the functionality of our system in the event of a failure at our network control center. Although we plan to install a back-up network control center within the next year, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete the installation on a timely basis or that such a back-up network would eliminate disruption to our system in the event of a failure.

Risk factors
 
New satellites are subject to launch failures, the occurrence of which can materially and adversely affect our operations.
Satellites are subject to certain risks related to failed launches. Launch failures result in significant delays in the deployment of satellites because of the need both to construct replacement satellites, and to obtain other launch opportunities. We intend to conduct satellite launches in the future both to replace existing satellites and to augment the existing constellation in order to expand the messaging capacity of our network and improve the service level of our network. Our intended launch of six “quick-launch” satellites in a single mission to replace our existing Plane A satellites is important to maintain adequate service levels and to provide additional capacity for future subscriber growth. A failure or delay of our quick-launch mission could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations until a replacement launch can be conducted, which would be at least nine to twelve months later. Any launch failures of our next-generation satellites would result in delays of at least six to nine months until additional satellites under construction are completed and their launches are achieved. Such delays would have a negative impact on our future growth and would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our satellites have a limited operating life. If we are unable to deploy replacement satellites, our services will be harmed.
The majority of our first-generation satellites was placed into orbit beginning in 1997. The last of our first-generation satellites was launched in late 1999. Our first-generation satellites have an average operating life of approximately nine to twelve years. We plan to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to finance the construction of six quick-launch satellites to be launched by the end of 2007 to replace our existing Plane A satellites and to finance further development and an initial launch of our next-generation satellites beginning in 2008. In addition to replacing our first-generation satellites, these next-generation satellites would also expand the capacity of our communications system to meet forecasted demand as we grow our business. We anticipate using cash on hand, the proceeds of this offering and funds generated from operations to pay for the balance of costs relating to the next-generation satellites. Launches of at least 18 additional next-generation satellites are expected to begin during 2008 and to continue through 2010 to add a total of at least 25 quick-launch and next-generation satellites (including the Coast Guard demonstration satellite) to our constellation. If sufficient funds from cash on hand, this offering and/or operations are not available or we are unable to obtain financing for the next-generation satellites, we will not be able to fully deploy next-generation satellites to replace our first-generation satellites at the end of their useful operating lives or to expand our system capacity, which could limit or diminish the coverage area and service levels of our constellation, disrupt our services to end-users, limit our capacity levels and negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers to provide the payload, bus and launch vehicle for our quick-launch and next-generation satellites and any delay or disruption in the supply of these components and related services will adversely affect our ability to replenish our satellite constellation and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will need to enter into arrangements with outside suppliers to provide us with the three different components for our six quick-launch satellites and for our next-generation satellites: the payload, bus and launch vehicle. We recently entered into an agreement with Orbital Sciences Corporation to supply us with the payloads of our six quick-launch satellites with options for two additional payloads. Our reliance on these suppliers for their services involves significant risks and uncertainties, including whether our suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required components of sufficient quality,

Risk factors
 
will charge the agreed upon prices for the components or will perform their obligations on a timely basis. If any of our suppliers becomes financially unstable, we may have to find a new supplier. There are a limited number of suppliers for communication satellite components and related services and the lead-time required to qualify a new supplier may take several months. There is no assurance that a new supplier will be found on a timely basis, or at all, if any one of our suppliers ceases to supply their services for our satellites.
If we do not find a replacement supplier on a timely basis, we may experience significant delays in the launch schedule of our quick-launch and next-generation satellites and incur additional costs to establish an alternative supplier. Any delay in our launch schedule could adversely affect our ability to provide communications services, particularly as the health of our current satellite constellation declines and we could lose current or prospective customers as a result of service interruptions. The loss of any of our satellite suppliers or delay in our launch schedule could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Once launched and properly deployed, our satellites are subject to significant operating risks due to various types of potential anomalies.
Satellites utilize highly complex technology and operate in the harsh environment of space and, accordingly, are subject to significant operational risks while in orbit. These risks include malfunctions, or “anomalies”, that may occur in our satellites. Some of the principal causes of satellite anomalies include:
  Mechanical failures due to manufacturing error or defect, including:
  Mechanical failures that degrade the functionality of a satellite, such as the failure of solar array panel deployment mechanisms;
 
  Antenna failures that degrade the communications capability of the satellite;
 
  Circuit failures that reduce the power output of the solar array panels on the satellites;
 
  Failure of the battery cells that power the payload and spacecraft operations during daily solar eclipse periods; and
 
  Communications system failures that affect overall system capacity.
  Equipment degradation during the satellite’s lifetime, including:
  Degradation of the batteries’ ability to accept a full charge;
 
  Degradation of solar array panels due to radiation; and
 
  General degradation resulting from operating in the harsh space environment.
  Deficiencies of control or communications software, including:
  Failure of the charging algorithm that may damage the satellite’s batteries;
 
  Problems with the communications and messaging servicing functions of the satellite; and
 
  Limitations on the satellite’s digital signal processing capability that limit satellite communications capacity.
We have experienced anomalies in some of the categories described above. A total of 35 satellites were launched by ORBCOMM Global L.P. and of these, a total of 30 remain operational. Four of the five satellites that are not operational experienced failures early in their lifetime, and the last mission-ending satellite failure affecting our system occurred in October 2000, prior to our acquisition of the

Risk factors
 
satellite constellation. We may experience anomalies in the future, whether of the types described above or arising from the failure of other systems or components, and operational redundancy may not be available upon the occurrence of such an anomaly.
Technical or other difficulties with our gateway earth stations could harm our business.
Our system relies in part on the functionality of our gateway earth stations, some of which are owned and maintained by third parties. While we believe that the overall health of our gateway earth stations remains stable, we may experience technical difficulties or parts obsolescence with our gateway earth stations which may negatively impact service in the region covered by that gateway earth station. Certain problems with these gateway earth stations can reduce their availability and negatively impact the performance of our system in that region. For example, the owner of the Malaysian gateway earth station has been unable to raise sufficient capital to properly maintain this gateway earth station. We are also experiencing commercial disputes with the entities that own the gateway earth stations in Japan and Korea. In addition, due to regulatory and licensing constraints in certain countries in which we operate, we are unable to wholly-own or majority-own some of the gateway earth stations in our system located outside the United States. As a result of these ownership restrictions, we rely on third parties to own and operate some of these gateway earth stations. If our relationship with these third parties deteriorates or if these third parties are unable or unwilling to bear the cost of operating or maintaining the gateway earth stations, or if there are changes in the applicable domestic regulations that require us to give up any or all of our ownership interests in any of the gateway earth stations, our control over our system could be diminished and our business could be harmed.
Our system could fail to perform because of a technological malfunction or events outside of our control which would seriously harm our business and reputation.
Our system is exposed to the risks inherent in a large-scale, complex telecommunications system employing advanced technology. Any disruption to our services, information systems or communication networks or those of third parties into which our network connects could result in the inability of our customers to receive our services for an indeterminate period of time. In addition, certain components of our system are located in foreign countries, and as a result, are potentially subject to governmental, regulatory or other actions in such countries which could force us to limit the operations of, or completely shut down, components of our system, including gateway earth stations or subscriber communicators. Our services may not function properly if our system fails. Any disruption to our services could cause us to lose customers or revenue, or face litigation, customer service or repair work that would involve substantial costs and distract management from operating our business. The failure of any of the diverse and dispersed elements of our system, including our satellites, our network control center, our gateway earth stations, our gateway control centers or our subscriber communicators, to function and coordinate as required could render our system unable to perform at the quality and capacity levels required for success. Any system failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in liability claims and seriously harm our business.
RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING
There has been no prior public market for our common stock and an active trading market may not develop.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. An active trading market may not develop following the closing of this offering or, if developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares of common stock at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value and increase the volatility of your shares of common stock. An

inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares of common stock as consideration.
The price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially and your investment may decline in value.
The initial public offering price for the shares of our common stock sold in this offering will be determined by negotiation between the representatives of the underwriters and us. This price may not reflect the market price of our common stock following this offering. In addition, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:
  liquidity of the market in, and demand for, our common stock;
 
  changes in expectations as to our future financial performance or changes in financial estimates, if any, of market analysts;
 
  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations, including quarterly results;
 
  our financial performance failing to meet the expectations of market analysts or investors;
 
  our ability to raise additional funds to meet our capital needs;
 
  the outcome of any litigation by or against us, including any judgments favorable or adverse to us;
 
  conditions and trends in the end markets we serve and changes in the estimation of the size and growth rate of these markets;
 
  announcements relating to our business or the business of our competitors;
 
  investor perception of our prospects, our industry and the markets in which we operate;
 
  changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;
 
  loss of one or more of our significant customers;
 
  changes in governmental regulation;
 
  changes in market valuation or earnings of our competitors; and
 
  general economic conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general, and Nasdaq and the market for telecommunications companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially harm our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow.
Future sales of our common stock may depress our share price.
After this offering, we will have                      shares of common stock outstanding. The                      shares sold in this offering (or                      shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full) will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under federal securities laws unless purchased

by our affiliates. The                      shares of common stock outstanding after this offering held by our directors and executive officers and certain of our stockholders are subject to lock-up agreements, will be available for sale in the public market beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to extension under certain circumstances, assuming they have satisfied the one-year holding period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be subject to certain volume limitations under Rule 144. The underwriters may waive the lock-up provisions in their sole discretion.
Additionally, certain stockholders currently holding our Series A and Series B preferred stock may require us to file a shelf registration statement to register the resale of all the shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of such preferred stock, from time to time and at any time beginning 180 days after this offering. We are also obligated to file a shelf registration statement one year after this offering. See “Certain relationships and related party transactions— Registration rights agreement”.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of the shares you purchase in this offering and will experience further dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your shares than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock (which gives effect to the conversion of our Series A and Series B preferred stock into common stock). As a result, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $           per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value dilution to investors purchasing common stock in this offering will be $           per share. This dilution is due in large part to earlier investors in our company having paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants for common stock may result in further dilution to you. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our common stock will be diluted upon completion of this offering.
The price at which our common stock will be initially offered to the public will be the result of negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be representative of the price that will prevail in the open market. See “Underwriting” for a discussion of the determination of the initial public offering price.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent acquisition of our company, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws will contain provisions that could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions do not permit actions by our stockholders by written consent and require the approval of the holders of at least           % of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote to amend certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. In addition, these provisions include procedural requirements relating to stockholder meetings and stockholder proposals that could make stockholder actions more difficult. Our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors serving staggered, three-year terms and may be removed only for cause. Any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by the vote of the majority of directors then in office. Our board of directors will have the right to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the common stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our

board of directors. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more for our outstanding common stock. Although we believe these provisions provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company.
Our management may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways that may not yield a positive return.
We currently anticipate using the proceeds to us of this offering for the following: funding capital expenditures (including the deployment of our quick-launch and next-generation satellites), providing additional working capital and other general corporate purposes. We cannot specify with certainty how we will use the net proceeds of this offering. Accordingly, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of these proceeds and you will not have the opportunity to assess whether these proceeds are being used appropriately. These proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

Special note regarding forward-looking statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These statements related to our growth strategy and our future financial performance, including our operations, economic performance, financial condition and prospects, and other future events. We generally identify forward-looking statements by using such words as “anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “seek”, “should” and similar expressions, and the negative of such words and expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings “Prospectus summary”, “Risk factors”, “Capitalization”, “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and “Business”, but are found in other locations as well.
These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management’s current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
  the substantial losses we have incurred and expect to continue to incur;
 
  demand for and market acceptance of our products and services and the applications developed by our resellers;
 
  technological changes, pricing pressures and other competitive factors;

Use of proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the                      shares of common stock we are offering will be approximately $                    , after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we estimate the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $           million. Our estimates assume an initial public offering price of $          per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. An increase or decrease in the initial public offering price of $1.00 per share would cause the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable to us, to increase or decrease by $           million (or $           million assuming full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option).
We intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering as follows:
  At least $                    to fund capital expenditures (including the deployment of our “quick-launch” and next-generation satellites); and
 
  The remainder to provide additional working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
The amount and timing of how we actually spend the net proceeds to us from this offering may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including our future revenues and cash generated by operations and other factors we describe in “Risk factors”. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in the way we use the net proceeds from this offering. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short- to medium-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of our Series A preferred stock, we paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on our Series A preferred stock on January 6, 2006. Our Series A preferred stock is no longer entitled to any accumulated dividends. Pursuant to the terms of our Series B preferred stock, accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock, in an amount of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2006 (which increases approximately $726,000 per month) become payable in cash upon the conversion of the Series B stock into common stock upon completion of this offering. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings after this offering for use in the operation of our business and do not currently anticipate declaring or paying any further cash dividends on shares of our capital stock in the foreseeable future.
Notwithstanding this policy, dividends will be paid only when, as and if approved by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. The actual amount and timing of dividend payments will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, business prospects and such other matters as the board may deem relevant from time to time. Even if profits are available for the payment of dividends, the board of directors could determine that such profits should be retained for an extended period of time, used for working capital purposes, expansion or acquisition of businesses or any other appropriate purpose. Our board of directors may, from time to time, examine our dividend policy and may, in its absolute discretion, change such policy.

Dilution
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. As of December 31, 2005, our net tangible book value was approximately $           million, or approximately $          per share of our common stock, on a pro forma basis. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is equal to our total net tangible assets, or total net assets less intangible assets, divided by the number of shares of our outstanding common stock, after giving effect to the conversion of all of our outstanding Series A and Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock into 31,683,610 shares of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of            shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us and the estimated offering expenses of this offering, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2005 attributable to common stockholders would have been approximately $           million, or approximately $          per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $          per share to our existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $          per share to new stockholders purchasing shares in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

(1) Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $           million, representing dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering by $          per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. The pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering is illustrative only, and following the completion of this offering, will be adjusted based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering will increase to approximately $          per share, representing an increase to existing stockholders of approximately $          per share, and there will be an immediate dilution of approximately $          per share to new investors.

The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and following the completion of this offering, will be adjusted based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the following will occur.
  the as adjusted percentage of shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders will decrease to approximately                     % of the total number of as adjusted shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering; and
 
  the number of shares of our common stock held by new public investors will increase to                     , or approximately                     % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering.
The discussion and tables above exclude the following:
  an aggregate of 2,192,561 shares of common stock subject to outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $2.04 per share as of December 31, 2005;
 
  an aggregate of 2,876,997 shares of common stock subject to outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $1.71 per share as of December 31, 2005;
 
  an aggregate of 478,392 shares of common stock subject to outstanding warrants to purchase Series A preferred stock, which will become warrants to purchase common stock upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock in connection with this offering, with a weighted average exercise price of $2.84 per share as of December 31, 2005; and
 
  307,439 and 4,851,905 shares of common stock available for future issuance at December 31, 2005 under our 2004 and 2006 stock option plans, respectively. See “Management— Stock option and other compensation plans” and Note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements.

(1) The net loss applicable to common shares for the year ended December 31, 2004 is based on our net loss for the period from February 17, 2004, the date on which the members of Orbcomm LLC contributed all of their outstanding membership interests in exchange for shares of our common stock, through December 31, 2004. Net loss attributable to the period from January 1, 2004 to February 16, 2004 (prior to the Company becoming a corporation and issuing its common shares), has been excluded from the net loss applicable to common shares. As a result, net loss per common share for 2004 is not comparable to net loss per common share for 2005.
 
(2) Upon completion of this offering, all outstanding shares of Series A and Series B preferred stock will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of common stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends on Series B preferred stock will become due and payable. The effect of this conversion has been reflected in the pro forma net loss per common share and pro forma weighted average common shares outstanding.
 
(3) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because it is one of the primary measures used by us to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including our ability to obtain and maintain our customers, our ability to operate our business effectively, the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance; it also helps our management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from our operating results. In addition, our management uses EBITDA in presentations to our board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance and liquidity used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget.
 
EBITDA is not a performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance and liquidity, it should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net loss, net cash flows from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA measures presented by other companies.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes which appear elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business, includes forward-looking statements. You should review the “Risk factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Please refer to “Special note regarding forward-looking statements” included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.
OVERVIEW
We operate the only global commercial wireless messaging system optimized for narrowband communications. Our system consists of a global network of 30 low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure. Our two-way communications system enables our customers and end-users, which include large and established multinational businesses and government agencies, to track, monitor, control and communicate cost-effectively with fixed and mobile assets located anywhere in the world. Our products and services enable our customers and end-users to enhance productivity, reduce costs and improve security through a variety of commercial, government and emerging homeland security applications. We enable our customers and end-users to achieve these benefits using a single global technology standard for machine-to-machine and telematic, or M2M, data communications. Our customers have made significant investments in developing ORBCOMM-based applications. Examples of assets that are connected through our M2M data communications system include trucks, trailers, railcars, containers, heavy equipment, fluid tanks, utility meters, pipeline monitoring equipment, marine vessels and oil wells. Our customers include value-added resellers, or VARs, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, such as Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and the Volvo Group, service providers, such as the Equipment Services business of General Electric Company, and government agencies, such as the United States Coast Guard.
We believe that the most important factor for our success is the addition of subscriber communicators activated on our system. We are focused on increasing our market share of customers with the potential for a high number of connections with lower usage applications. We believe that the service revenue associated with each additional subscriber communicator activated on our communications system will more than offset the negligible incremental cost of adding such subscriber communicator to our system and, as a result, positively impact our results of operations. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 113,000 billable subscriber communicators activated on our system, an increase of 51% from approximately 75,000 billable subscriber communicators at the end of 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our subscriber communicator net additions totaled approximately 24,000 units as compared to net additions of approximately 9,800 units during the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 145%. As a result of this increase, the number of billable subscriber communicators activated on our network at March 31, 2006 was approximately 138,000.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
The following are some of the factors that we believe will drive an increase of subscriber communicators activated on our system and cause future revenue growth rates to exceed our historical revenue growth rates:
  We believe that our target markets are significant and growing. Harbor Research, Inc. estimates that the number of vehicles, devices and units worldwide in the commercial transportation, heavy equipment, fixed asset monitoring, marine vessel, consumer transportation and homeland security markets which are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks will grow from approximately 18.5 million in 2006 to approximately 129.5 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38.3%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in these target markets to increase from approximately 1.2% in 2006 to approximately 6.6% by 2012.
 
  The growing demand for wireless connectivity for M2M applications arises from the need for businesses and governments to track, control, monitor and communicate with their fixed and mobile assets that are located throughout the world. In recent years, these assets increasingly incorporate microprocessors, sensors and other devices that can provide a variety of information about the asset’s location, condition, operation or environment and respond to external commands. Our M2M data communications system enables these businesses and governments to communicate with these devices in a low cost and efficient manner.
 
  Our recently introduced Stellar DS 300 and DS 100 subscriber communicators perform better, cost substantially less, and are significantly more reliable than the subscriber communicators Stellar offered prior to the second half of 2005. As a result of being able to supply low cost subscriber communicators, we are positioned to address the needs of large-volume market segments, such as mobile asset tracking, including truck and trailer tracking, and many fixed-asset monitoring applications, including pipeline monitoring, utility meter reading and tank level monitoring, where subscriber communicator costs are a critical competitive factor.
 
  A number of our key customers are beginning to roll out applications which had been under development prior to 2005. These include GE Equipment Services, which spent a significant amount of time integrating the DS 300 subscriber communicator into its VeriWise trailer tracking solution. This application is now being rolled out to some of its major customers, including Wal-Mart. Other examples include American Innovations, Ltd., which has developed a pipeline monitoring solution using the DS 100 subscriber communicator and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., which has developed a heavy equipment tracking solution using subscriber communicators from Quake Global, Inc., another manufacturer of our subscriber communicators.
 
  The expected launch of our quick-launch and next-generation satellites, together with the installation of additional gateway earth stations around the world, is expected to reduce the time lags in delivering messages, improving quality and coverage of our system.
 
  We expect to open new markets and to expand our existing international activities. Our international growth strategy is to open new markets outside the United States by obtaining regulatory authorizations and developing markets for our M2M data communications services to be sold in those regions, in particular, where the market opportunity for our OEM customers and resellers is greatest. We are currently authorized, either directly or indirectly, to provide our communications services in over 75 countries and territories through our seven international licensees and 11 country representatives. We are currently working with 48 IVARs, who have the right to market and sell their applications anywhere our communications services are offered.
 
  Our cash balance as of December 31, 2005 was $68.7 million and after giving effect to the payment of the Series A preferred stock dividends of approximately $8 million on January 6, 2006, we had

   approximately $60 million in cash. Our existing cash balance together with the expected proceeds of this offering and cash flows from operations, helps to reassure our customers and end-users that we will have the resources to replenish a large portion of our satellite constellation so that they can justify investing in additional applications which use our communications system.
The following are some of the factors that we believe will impact our expenses in the future:
  Increased network equipment costs, including our planned acquisition of additional gateway earth stations and gateway control centers, will cause our depreciation expense, a component of cost of service, to increase. Other than this increased depreciation, the marginal cost to operate our communications system is relatively low. Consequently, as our service revenues associated with additional subscriber communicators on our system increase, they will offset non-network related expenses and positively impact our results of operations.
 
  From 2006 to 2011, we anticipate spending approximately $200 million on our capital plan, which contemplates the launch of at least 25 additional satellites at a cost of approximately $170 million, including a demonstration satellite for the U.S. Coast Guard to prove the capability of an ORBCOMM satellite to receive, process and forward Automatic Identification System, or AIS, data (the “Concept Validation Project”), and the remaining approximately $30 million for non-satellite capital expenditures. If market demands increase or lower latencies are required, we may exercise any options we may have to acquire additional satellites to supplement or expand our constellation, which will require additional capital expenditures. We intend to require our satellite manufacturers to include options for additional satellites that can be launched on an accelerated schedule if necessary.
 
  Our largest recurring expenses are costs associated with our employees, and we expect these expenses to increase, as we plan to increase headcount from 80 employees at the end of 2005 to approximately 170 employees by 2010.
Consolidated revenues increased 43% from $10.9 million in 2004 to $15.5 million in 2005. We have reported net losses since inception and, as of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $48.6 million. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, we reported net losses of $13.3 million, $12.4 million and $9.1 million respectively. Our long-term viability is dependent upon our ability to achieve positive cash flows from operations or to raise additional financing.
Organization
ORBCOMM LLC was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on April 4, 2001 and on April 23, 2001, it acquired substantially all of the non-cash assets and assumed certain liabilities of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries, which had filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The assets acquired from ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries consisted principally of the in-orbit satellites and supporting U.S. ground infrastructure equipment that we own today. At the same time, ORBCOMM LLC also acquired the FCC licenses required to own and operate the communications system from a subsidiary of Orbital Sciences Corporation, which was not in bankruptcy, in a related transaction. Prior to April 23, 2001, ORBCOMM LLC did not have any operating activities. We were formed as a Delaware corporation in October 2003 and on February 17, 2004, the members of ORBCOMM LLC contributed all of their outstanding membership interests in ORBCOMM LLC to us in exchange for shares of our common stock, representing ownership interests in us equal in proportion to their prior ownership interest in ORBCOMM LLC. As a result of, and immediately following the contribution, ORBCOMM LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We continued the historical business, operations and management of ORBCOMM

LLC. We refer to this transaction as the “Reorganization”. Prior to February 17, 2004, ORBCOMM Inc. did not have any operating activities.
Financial reporting and internal control
Material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with our 2003, 2004 and 2005 audits. To remedy these weaknesses, we have hired key senior accounting and finance employees to help enhance internal controls and other systems to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition to addressing the staffing of our accounting and finance function, we are also focused on enhancing our ability to provide adequate, accurate and timely financial information to meet our reporting obligations and comply with the requirements of the SEC, Nasdaq and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have engaged a national consulting firm to assist us with complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are also in the process of implementing an integrated accounting and financial system infrastructure, which we believe will allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our internal controls, as required by the management certification and auditor attestation requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be performing system and process evaluation and testing and undertaking any necessary remediation of our internal control system on an ongoing basis. We believe that these steps, when fully implemented, will remediate the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
Revenues
We derive product revenues primarily from sales of subscriber communicators to our resellers (i.e., our VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives) and direct customers, as well as other products, such as subscriber communicator peripherals (antennas, cables and connector kits), and in 2005 we sold a gateway earth station. We derive service revenues from our resellers and direct customers from utilization of subscriber communicators on our communications system. These service revenues generally consist of a one-time activation fee for each subscriber communicator activated for use on our communications system and monthly usage fees. Usage fees that we charge our customers are based upon the number, size and frequency of data transmitted by the customer and the overall number of subscriber communicators activated by each customer. Usage fees charged to our resellers and direct customers are charged primarily at wholesale rates based on the overall number of subscriber communicators activated by them and the total amount of data transmitted by their customers. For one international licensee customer, we charge usage fees as a percentage of the international licensee’s revenues. Service revenues also include royalties paid by subscriber communicator manufacturers and fees from professional and administrative services.
During 2004, we entered into an agreement with the United States Coast Guard, to design, develop, launch and operate a single satellite in connection with the Concept Validation Project. Under the terms of the agreement, title to the demonstration satellite remains with us, however the Coast Guard will be granted a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the designs, processes and procedures developed under the contract in connection with any of our future satellites that are AIS-enabled. We are permitted, and intend, to use the demonstration satellite to provide services to other customers. The agreement also provides for post-launch maintenance and AIS data transmission services to be provided by us to the Coast Guard for an initial term of 14 months. At its option, the Coast Guard may elect to receive maintenance and AIS data transmission services for up to an additional 18 months subsequent to the initial term. The deliverables under the agreement do not qualify as separate units of accounting and as a result, revenues from the agreement will be recognized ratably commencing upon the launch of the demonstration satellite (expected in the third quarter of 2006) through the term of the agreement.

We do not expect our historical revenue mix to be indicative of our future revenue. As the number of subscriber communicators activated for use on our communications system increases, we expect service revenues to become our most significant revenue component, followed by revenues from sales of subscriber communicators and other equipment, and fees from professional services. An increase of subscriber communicator sales over our historical growth rate occurred in the latter part of 2005 following the introduction of our new DS 300 and DS 100 subscriber communicators. We expect the growth rate of subscriber communicator sales to continue substantially above our historical growth rate due to the DS 300 and DS 100 subscriber communicators’ improved performance and substantially lower prices and a number of key customers beginning to roll out applications in larger volumes. We expect however, to maintain our current gross margin (defined as selling price less manufacturing costs) per subscriber communicator on future sales by offsetting the price decreases with reductions in the manufacturing cost of our communicators. We also expect service revenue will grow as more subscriber communicators are added to the network. Service revenue depends on the usage patterns of individual customers and end-users. We are expecting the average revenue per subscriber communicator to decrease moderately as we add additional low-usage subscriber communicators in the trailer industry, as well as expand internationally into new markets with lower pricing.
Operating expenses
We own and operate a 30-satellite constellation, five of the thirteen gateway earth stations and two of the five gateway control centers. Satellite-based communications systems are typically characterized by high initial capital expenditures and relatively low marginal costs for providing service. Because we acquired substantially all of our existing satellite and network assets from ORBCOMM Global L.P. for a fraction of their original cost in a bankruptcy court-approved sale, we benefit from lower amortization of capital costs than if the assets were acquired at ORBCOMM Global L.P.’s original cost. We plan to use the majority of the proceeds of this offering to finance the construction and deployment of additional satellites. This increased equipment cost, reflected at full value, along with our planned acquisition of additional gateway earth stations and gateway control centers will cause our depreciation expense, a component of cost of services, to increase relative to the depreciation of our current communications system, which is approaching the end of its useful life for depreciation purposes. Other than this increased depreciation, the marginal cost to operate our communications system is relatively low.
We currently depreciate our satellite system over approximately five years, the estimated remaining life of our current communications system at the time of its acquisition in 2001. Our current satellites will become fully depreciated during the fourth quarter of 2006. However, since 2002, we have implemented several operational changes and software demonstration updates which we believe may extend the operational lives of our current satellite fleet by an average of 1.5 to 2.5 years beyond this time. We currently anticipate that when additional satellites are placed into service, they will be depreciated over up to ten years (other than the Coast Guard demonstration satellite which will be depreciated over six years), representing the estimated operational lives of the satellites.
We incur engineering expenses associated with the operation of our communications system and the development and support of new applications, as well as sales, marketing and administrative expenses related to the operation of our business. Our largest recurring expenses are costs associated with our employees. Over the next several years, we expect to increase headcount from 80 employees at the end of 2005 to approximately 170 employees by 2010.

Capital expenditures
The majority of our current fleet of satellites was put in service in the late 1990s and has an estimated operating life of approximately nine to twelve years. We plan to launch additional satellites to replace our current fleet in order to continue to provide our communications services in the future. For 2003, 2004 and 2005, we spent $0.1 million, $2.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, on capital expenditures, of which $0, $1.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, were for satellite-related projects, primarily the Coast Guard Concept Validation Project. For 2006 to 2011, we anticipate spending approximately $200 million on our capital plan, which contemplates the launch of at least 25 additional satellites at a cost of approximately $170 million, including the U.S. Coast Guard demonstration satellite, and the remaining approximately $30 million for non-satellite capital expenditures which are primarily for additional gateway earth station deployments and additional network support equipment.
If market demands increase or lower latencies are required, we may exercise any options we may have to acquire additional satellites to supplement or expand our constellation, which will require additional capital expenditures.
Since 2002, we have implemented several operational changes and software updates which we believe may extend the operational lives of our current satellite fleet by an average of 1.5 to 2.5 years. The expected replacement launch dates for our current satellite fleet is set forth in detail in the table under “The ORBCOMM communications system—Overview” and begin in the third quarter of 2006 and extend until the third quarter of 2010. As a result, we have flexibility with respect to the future deployment of replacement satellites, providing us with more control over the timing of our capital investments in our next-generation of satellites, including the ability to accelerate or delay the timing of capital expenditures contemplated by our capital plan, as described above.
EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a performance measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP”. EBITDA reflected losses of $6.7 million, $9.6 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. EBITDA in 2005 improved by $2.8 million over 2004. This improvement occurred despite significant spending that did not exist in 2004 for litigation ($1.0 million), product development to develop the improved DS 300 and DS 100 subscriber communicators ($0.5 million), and additional costs to expand accounting and other administrative functions ($0.3 million) as we prepare for operating as a public company. We expect professional services and administrative staff costs to increase in the future, but to constitute a substantially lower percentage of our revenues. Product development costs are not expected to increase significantly above our 2005 level, as we expect customers and communicator manufacturers to bear most of the additional development expenditures as their businesses grow in volume.
While we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance and liquidity, it should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net loss or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA measures presented by other companies.
We believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because:
  it is one of the primary measures used by us to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including our ability to obtain and maintain our customers, our ability to operate our

business effectively, the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance; and
 
  it helps our management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from our operating results.
In addition, our management uses EBITDA in presentations to our board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance and liquidity used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget.
There are material limitations to using a measure such as EBITDA, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest income (expense), that directly affect our net loss. We compensate for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with our analysis of net loss.
The following table reconciles our net loss to EBITDA and reconciles EBITDA to our net cash (used in) provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, costs of revenues, accounts receivable, satellite network and other equipment, capitalized development costs, debt issuance costs and debt discount, convertible redeemable preferred stock, valuation of deferred tax assets and the value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our revenue recognition policy requires us to make significant judgments regarding the probability of collection of the resulting accounts receivable balance based on prior history and the creditworthiness of our customers. In instances where collection is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized when we receive cash from the customer.
Revenues generated from the sale of subscriber communicators and other products are either recognized when the products are shipped or when customers accept the products, depending on the specific contractual terms. Sales of subscriber communicators and other products are not subject to return and title and risk of loss pass to the customer at the time of shipment. Sales of subscriber communicators are primarily to VARs and IVARs and are not bundled with service arrangements. Revenues from sales of gateway earth stations and related products are recognized only upon customer acceptance following installation. Revenues from the activation of subscriber communicators are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are, thereafter, recognized ratably over the term of the agreement with the customer, generally three years. Revenues generated from monthly usage and administrative fees and engineering services are recognized when the services are rendered. Upfront payments for manufacturing license fees are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, generally ten years. Revenues generated from royalties relating to the manufacture of subscriber communicators by third parties are recognized when the third party notifies us of the units it has manufactured and a unique serial number is assigned to each unit by us.
Amounts received prior to the performance of services under customer contracts are recognized as deferred revenues and revenue recognition is deferred until such time that all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
For arrangements with multiple obligations (e.g., deliverable and undeliverable products, and other post-contract support), we allocate revenues to each component of the contract based upon objective evidence of each component’s fair value. We recognize revenues allocated to undelivered products when the criteria for product revenues set forth above are met. If objective and reliable evidence of the

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
fair value of the undelivered obligations is not available, the arrangement consideration allocable to a delivered item is combined with the amount allocable to the undelivered item(s) within the arrangement. Revenues are recognized as the remaining obligations are fulfilled.
Out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the performance of professional service contracts are included in costs of services and any amounts re-billed to clients are included in revenues during the period in which they are incurred. Shipping costs billed to customers are included in product sales revenues and the related costs are included as costs of product sales.
Under our agreement with the Coast Guard with respect to the Concept Validation Project and related services described under “—Overview— Revenues”, the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting and as a result, revenues from the agreement will be recognized ratably commencing upon the launch of the demonstration satellite (expected in the third quarter of 2006) through the term of the agreement.
We, on occasion, issue options to purchase our equity securities or the equity securities of our subsidiaries, or issue shares of our common stock as an incentive in soliciting sales commitments from our customers. The grant date fair value of such equity instruments is recorded as a reduction of revenues on a pro-rata basis as products or services are delivered under the sales arrangement.
Costs of revenues
Costs of product sales includes the purchase price of products sold, shipping charges, costs of warranty obligations, payroll and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with fulfilling product sales and depreciation and amortization of assets used to deliver products. Costs of services is comprised of payroll and related costs, including stock-based compensation, materials and supplies, depreciation and amortization of assets used to provide services. Our most significant estimates and judgments regarding the costs of revenues are provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties, which we make at the time products are sold. These estimates and judgments are made using historical information on the nature and frequency of such expenses.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in our negotiated contracts. Amounts due are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the contract payment terms are considered past due. We make ongoing assumptions and judgments relating to the collectibility of our accounts receivable to determine our required allowances based on a number of factors such as the age of the receivable, credit history of the customer, historical experience and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Past experience may not be indicative of future collections; as a result, allowances for doubtful accounts may deviate from our estimate as a percentage of accounts receivable and sales.
Satellite network and other equipment
Satellite network and other equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized once an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. As our industry is subject to technological change, we may be required to revise the estimated useful lives our satellites and other equipment or adjust the carrying amounts. We use judgment to determine the useful life of our satellite network based on the estimated operational life of the satellites and periodic reviews of engineering data relating to the operation and performance of our satellite network.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
Capitalized development costs
Judgments and estimates occur in the calculation of capitalized development costs. We evaluate and estimate when a preliminary project stage is completed and at the point when the project is substantially complete and ready for use. We base our estimates and evaluations on engineering data. We capitalize the costs of acquiring, developing and testing software to meet our internal needs. Capitalization of costs associated with software obtained or developed for internal use commences when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project, based on a determination that it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include only (1) external direct cost of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, and (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and devote time to, the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Internal use software costs are amortized once the software is placed in service using the straight-line method over periods ranging from three to five years. Prior to 2005, we did not capitalize any payroll and payroll-related costs for internal-use software due to a lack of appropriate accounting systems and processes to track such costs.
Debt issuance costs and debt discount
Loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable, are deferred and amortized over the term of the related loan using the effective interest method. This amortization is included in interest expense.
We account for the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights arising from the issuance of convertible debt instruments with conversion rights that are “in-the-money” at the commitment date pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 98-5 and EITF Issue No. 00-27. The value is based on the relative fair value of the detachable convertible instrument and the associated debt, is allocated to additional paid-in-capital (or members’ deficiency prior to the Reorganization) and recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights is amortized to interest expense from the issuance date through the earliest date the underlying debt instrument can be converted using the effective interest method.
Warrants issued in connection with debt financing agreements are valued using the relative fair value method and allocated to additional paid-in capital (or members’ deficiency prior to the Reorganization) and recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt. This discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method from the issuance date through the term of the related loan.
If debt is repaid, or converted to preferred or common stock, prior to the full amortization of the related issuance costs, beneficial conversion rights or debt discount, the remaining balance of such items is recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt. At December 31, 2005, our outstanding debt does not have any deferred issuance costs and all such items have been fully expensed.
We estimate the fair value of warrants relating to debt issuances using judgments and estimates involving; (1) volatility, based on a peer group analysis, (2) the estimated value of our common stock on the date the warrants are issued, (3) the contractual term of the warrants, (4) the risk free interest rate, based on the contractual term of the warrants, and (5) an expected dividend yield.
Convertible redeemable preferred stock
At the time of issuance, preferred stock is recorded at its gross proceeds less issuance costs. The carrying value is increased to the redemption value using the effective interest method over the period
 
45

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption. The carrying value of preferred stock is also increased by cumulative unpaid dividends.
In connection with this offering, all outstanding shares of Series A and Series B preferred stock will be converted into common stock on a one-for-one basis at their net carrying value at the time of conversion, except for accumulated dividends. Our Series A preferred stock is no longer entitled to accumulated dividends and accumulated dividends for the Series B preferred stock through the date of the conclusion of this offering will be paid in cash upon the completion of this offering.
Income taxes
Prior to February 17, 2004, our consolidated financial statements did not include a provision for federal and state income taxes because ORBCOMM LLC was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, we were not subject to any income taxes, as any income or loss through that date was included in the tax returns of our individual members.
On February 17, 2004, as a result of the Reorganization, we became a “C” corporation for income tax purposes and adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under these guidelines, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Judgment is applied in determining whether the recoverability of our deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. A valuation allowance is established for the amount of deferred tax assets that are determined not to be realizable. Realization of our deferred tax assets may depend upon our ability to generate future taxable income. Based upon this analysis, we established a 100% valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation arrangements with our employees have been accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, using the intrinsic value method of accounting which requires charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date an employee stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. We did not engage independent appraisers to determine fair value; instead we used as fair value the conversion price of our preferred stock into shares of common stock, which was equal to the sales price of our preferred stock to unaffiliated parties occurring closest to the dates of the various option grants. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, we recorded the intrinsic value per share as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, using the straight-line method. Stock-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. Had we applied fair value recognition to our prior stock-based employee compensation awards, with the value of each option grant estimated on the date of the grant using an option pricing model, the impact would have been increases to our net loss applicable to common shares of $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”). The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 25. According to SFAS 123R, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the statement of operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 and generally would require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value method. SFAS 123R is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
We plan to adopt the modified prospective transition method of SFAS 123R, which requires us to recognize compensation cost for awards that are not fully vested as of the effective date of SFAS 123R based on the same estimate that we used to previously value our grants under SFAS 123. As of December 31, 2005, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods for stock compensation awards granted on or prior to December 31, 2005, in accordance with SFAS 123R, is less than $0.6 million. We believe that the implementation of SFAS 123R, coupled with our expected expanded use of stock-based compensation, will result in significant increases in our stock-based compensation expense in future years.
We estimated the fair value of stock options using judgments and estimates involving; (1) volatility, based on a peer group analysis, (2) the estimated value of our common stock on the grant date, (3) the expected life of the option, (4) the risk free interest rate, based on the expected life of the option, and (5) an expected dividend yield.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year ended December 31, 2005 compared with year ended December 31, 2004
Revenues
The table below presents our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, together with the percentage of total revenue represented by each revenue category:

Total revenues for 2005 increased $4.7 million, or 42.9%, to $15.5 million from $10.9 million in 2004. This increase was primarily due to increased product sales of $3.3 million and increased service revenues of $1.3 million. Revenues from related parties totaled $0.6 million in both 2005 and 2004.
Service revenues. Service revenues increased $1.3 million in 2005, or 20.5%, to $7.8 million, or approximately 50.3% of total revenues, from $6.5 million, or approximately 59.6% of total revenues in 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of billable subscriber communicators activated on our communications system. At December 31, 2005, there were approximately 113,000 billable subscriber communicators activated as compared to approximately 75,000 billable subscriber communicators at December 31, 2004, an increase of 50.7%. The increase in the number of billable subscriber communicators during 2005 was primarily by customers with trailer tracking, heavy equipment monitoring and “in-cab” truck monitoring applications.

Product sales. Revenue from product sales increased $3.3 million during 2005, or 76.0%, to $7.7 million, or approximately 49.7% of total revenues, from $4.4 million, or approximately 40.4% of total revenues, in 2004. Of this increase, $2.1 million was due to revenue recognized in 2005 from the sale of a gateway earth station which occurred in 2003, upon installation and customer acceptance. This was our first sale of a gateway earth station. Our financial projections do not include additional gateway earth station sales as we plan to own future gateway earth station deployments. This strategy may be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis should a suitable international partner and sale opportunity be identified, or if regulatory requirements call for ownership by a third party. Sales of subscriber communicators and other equipment increased $1.2 million, or 27.6%, during 2005. Subscriber communicator units sold during 2005 increased 41.6% to approximately 27,000 units. This growth was partially offset by a 10% decrease in the average selling price of subscriber communicators which resulted from our release, in the second half of 2005, of two lower-priced, higher performance subscriber communicators (DS 300 and DS 100 models). In 2006, we expect the average price of our subscriber communicators to decrease an additional 20% due to the full year impact of sales of the DS 300 and DS 100 models. It is our strategy to continue to decrease subscriber communicator prices each year to drive higher volumes, while maintaining gross margins through subscriber communicator cost reductions.
Costs of services
Costs of services includes the expenses associated with our engineering groups and the depreciation associated with our communications system. Cost of services increased by $0.3 million, or 5.8%, to $6.2 million during 2005 from $5.9 million during 2004. The growth was due to higher equipment maintenance and depreciation costs as we made improvements to the existing system infrastructure and acquired an additional operational gateway earth station in Curaçao. Included in our costs of services is the compensation expense that is being recognized over the vesting periods for stock options that were granted to employees in 2004 having an exercise price per share less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. These amounts were not significant in 2005 and 2004.
Costs of product sales
Costs of product sales include the cost of subscriber communicators, peripheral equipment and the cost of gateway earth stations sold, as well as the operational costs to fulfill customer orders. Costs of product sales increased in 2005 by $1.5 million, or 31.3%, to $6.5 million from $4.9 million in 2004. Equipment cost represented 84% of the cost of product sales in 2005 and increased by $1.2 million to $5.4 million during 2005 from $4.2 million during 2004, primarily as a result of the increase in subscriber communicator sales volume. Costs also include $0.2 million of installation costs associated with the sale of a gateway earth station recognized in 2005, which did not have any carrying value. Excluding the gateway earth station sale recognized in 2005, which had a gross margin of $1.9 million, we had a gross loss from product sales of $0.6 million and $0.5 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Subscriber communicators (other than obsolete units) are sold for prices above their direct acquisition costs but the volume of subscriber communicators sold needs to increase to completely offset the distribution, fulfillment and customer service costs associated with completing customer orders.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses relate primarily to compensation and associated expenses for employees in general management, sales and marketing and finance, as well as outside professional services. These expenses increased $0.7 million, or 8.1%, to $9.3 million in 2005 from $8.6 million in 2004. This increase is primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in professional service fees, mostly related to litigation and an increase in payroll costs of $0.6 million primarily due to staff expansion during 2005, offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in stock-based compensation. Included in selling,

general and administrative expenses is the compensation expense that is being recognized over the vesting periods for stock options that were issued to employees in 2004 having an exercise price per share less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. The stock-based compensation was less than $0.2 million in 2005 and was $1.5 million in 2004.
Product development expenses
Product development expenses consist primarily of the expenses associated with the staff of our engineering development team, along with the cost of third parties that are contracted for specific development projects. These expenses increased by $0.6 million, to $1.3 million in 2005 from $0.8 million in 2004 largely due to $0.5 million paid to Delphi in 2005 for the joint development of new subscriber communicators (DS 300 and DS 100 models) that we began selling in the third quarter of 2005. Included in our product development expenses is the compensation expense that is being recognized over the vesting periods for stock options that were granted to employees in 2004 having an exercise price per share less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. These amounts were not significant in 2005 and 2004.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) primarily includes interest expense relating to our notes payable, the amortization of the fair value of beneficial conversion features and warrants and issuance costs relating to our notes payable and loss on the extinguishment of the notes payable. Interest income earned from our cash and cash equivalents, which is immaterial, is also included. We had interest expense of $0.3 million for 2005 compared to $1.3 million for 2004. This decrease is due to having a lower average of notes payable outstanding during 2005 than during 2004. In addition, we had loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $1.0 million in 2005 and $1.8 million in 2004. The loss on extinguishment in 2005 was related to the conversion of the bridge notes issued in November and December 2005 having unamortized costs associated with debt issuance costs that were expensed upon conversion of the notes payable into Series B preferred stock prior to their maturity. The loss on extinguishment in 2004 was related to the conversion of notes payable into Series A preferred stock, having unamortized costs associated with warrants and beneficial conversion features in the amount of $1.8 million that were expensed upon conversion of the notes payable prior to their maturities. See Note 9— “Notes Payable” in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Net loss and net loss applicable to common shares
As a result of the items described above, we had a net loss of $9.1 million in 2005, compared to a net loss of $12.4 million in 2004, a decrease of $3.3 million. Our net loss attributable to common shares (net loss adjusted for dividends required on shares of preferred stock and accretion in preferred stock carrying value) totaled $14.2 million in 2005 and $14.5 million in 2004. The net loss attributable to the period from January 1, 2004 to February 16, 2004, prior to our becoming a corporation and issuing shares of common stock, has been excluded from our net loss applicable to common shares for 2004 as we were a limited liability company. See Note 1— “Organization and Business” and Note 3—“Computation of net loss per common share” in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Total revenues for 2004 increased $3.8 million, or 53.5%, to $10.9 million from $7.1 million in 2003. This increase in revenues was primarily due to increased product sales of $2.4 million and increased service revenues of $1.3 million. Revenues from related parties totaled $0.6 million in 2004 as compared to $0.8 million in 2003.
Service revenues. Service revenues increased 26.0% to $6.5 million, or approximately 59.6% of total revenues, in 2004 from $5.1 million, or approximately 72.6% of total revenues, in 2003. This increase in service revenues of $1.3 million was primarily due to an increase in the number of subscriber communicators activated on our communications system. At December 31, 2004, there were approximately 75,000 billable subscriber communicators activated and in service as compared to approximately 48,000 billable subscriber communicators at December 31, 2003, an increase of 56.3%. The increase in billable subscriber communicators in 2004 was driven by customers with trailer tracking, heavy equipment monitoring and “in-cab” truck monitoring applications.
Product sales. Revenue from product sales increased in 2004 by $2.4 million, or 126.4%, to $4.4 million, which is approximately 40.4% of total revenues, from $1.9 million, or approximately 27.4% of total revenues, in 2003. The increase in product sales was primarily due to increased sales of subscriber communicators as volume increased 120.7% from approximately 8,700 units sold in 2003 to approximately 19,200 units sold in 2004. This increase is partially due to 2003 results including only eight months of subscriber communicators sold by Stellar, which was acquired in May 2003, as compared to a full year in 2004.
Costs of services
Costs of services decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.6%, to $5.9 million during 2004 from $6.1 million during 2003. The decline was primarily due to fluctuations in staffing levels and payroll costs. Included in our costs of services is the compensation costs that is being recognized over the vesting periods for stock options that were granted to employees in 2004. These options had an exercise price per share less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. The aggregate intrinsic value of such options is being recognized as compensation costs over the vesting period of such options. These amounts were not significant in 2004 and there were no stock option grants to our employees in 2003.
Costs of product sales
Costs of product sales increased by $3.1 million, or 168.5%, to $4.9 million during 2004 from $1.8 million during 2003. Equipment cost represented 85% of the cost of product sales and increased by $2.7 million to $4.2 million during 2004 from $1.5 million during 2003 as a result of the increase in subscriber communicator sales volume. In 2004, we had a gross loss of $0.5 million as compared to a gross margin of $0.1 million in 2003. The gross loss in 2004 was primarily due to the increase in staffing to manage the Stellar business acquired in 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 31.5%, to $8.6 million in 2004 from $6.6 million in 2003. The increase was due to the payroll costs of filling senior management positions and stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million. During 2004, we issued certain employees stock options with exercise prices per share that were less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. The aggregate intrinsic value of such options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of such options. There were no stock option grants to our employees in 2003.
Product development expenses
Product development expenses increased $0.2 million in 2004 to $0.8 million from $0.5 million in 2003. The increased level of expenses is primarily due to higher spending on subscriber communicator product development utilizing outside contractors.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) primarily includes, interest expense relating to our notes payable, the amortization of the fair value of beneficial conversion features and warrants and issuance costs relating to our bridge loans and loss on the extinguishment of our notes payable. Interest income earned from our cash and cash equivalents is also included, which is immaterial. We had interest expense of $1.3 million in 2004 compared to $5.3 million in 2003. This decrease is due to having a lower average amount of notes payable outstanding during 2004 than during 2003. The loss on extinguishment in 2004 was related to the conversion of notes having unamortized costs, associated with warrants and beneficial conversion features including issuance costs in the amount of $1.8 million, which were expensed upon conversion of the notes into Series A preferred stock. See Note 9—“Notes Payable” in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Net loss and net loss applicable to common shares
As a result of the items described above, we had a net loss of $12.4 million in 2004, as compared to a net loss of $13.3 million in 2003, a decreased loss of $0.9 million. The net loss attributable to the period from January 1, 2004 to February 16, 2004, prior to us becoming a corporation and issuing shares of common stock has been excluded from our loss applicable to common shares for 2004 as we were a limited liability company. See Notes 1— “Organization and Business” and 3— “Computation of net loss per common share” in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of debt, convertible redeemable preferred stock, membership interests and common stock. We incurred losses from operations since inception and we have an accumulated deficit of $48.6 million as of December 31, 2005. Our long-term viability is dependent upon our ability to achieve positive cash flows from operations or to raise additional financing. We anticipate that our cash on hand and our net proceeds from this offering, along with anticipated cash flows from operations, will fully fund our projected business plans. As of December 31, 2005, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $68.7 million.
We expect cash flows from operating activities, along with our existing cash and cash equivalents to be sufficient to fund our anticipated operations for at least the next 12 months. We intend to use cash on hand and the net proceeds from this offering to fund capital expenditures, including the deployment of additional satellites which will be comprised mostly of more capable next-generation satellites, and to provide additional working capital to be used for other general corporate purposes. See “Use of

proceeds”. We anticipate that our cash on hand and our net proceeds from this offering along with anticipated cash flows from operations will fully fund our projected business plan.
Operating activities
Cash generated in our operating activities in 2005 was $3.6 million resulting from a net loss of $9.1 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $3.5 million and $9.3 million provided by working capital. Adjustments for non–cash items primarily consisted of $2.0 million for depreciation and amortization and $1.0 million for loss on extinguishment of debt. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a net decrease of $3.0 million in advances to contract manufacturer primarily related to our increase in revenues from operations from 2004 to 2005 and a net increase of $2.9 million to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which is primarily related to the increase in professional fees in connection with our Series B preferred stock financing and our pending initial public offering, and $3.3 million of deferred revenue primarily related to billings rendered in connection with our Coast Guard demonstration satellite scheduled for launch during the third quarter of 2006.
Cash used in our operating activities in 2004 was $16.1 million resulting from a net loss of $12.4 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $6.2 million and $9.9 million used in working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.5 million for depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million for stock-based compensation, $1.8 million for loss on extinguishment of debt and $0.7 million for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and debt discount. Working capital activities consisted primarily of a net increase of $4.4 million for accounts receivable mostly related to our Coast Guard demonstration satellite and our increase in revenues from 2003 to 2004 and uses of cash of $1.5 million for inventories and $3.6 million for advances to contract manufacturer, which are both related to the increase in our revenues, and $2.6 million for accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily related to payroll tax payments. These were offset by an increase of $3.2 million to deferred revenue primarily related to billings rendered in connection with our Coast Guard demonstration satellite scheduled for launch during the third quarter of 2006.
Cash used in our operating activities in 2003 was $5.0 million resulting from a net loss of $13.3 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $4.9 million and $3.4 million provided by working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.3 million for depreciation and amortization and $3.5 million for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and debt discount. Working capital activities primarily consisted of net increases of $1.5 million to accounts payable and accrued liabilities which primarily related to the increase in our operating expenses and $1.5 million to deferred revenue primarily related to our increase in activation fees and customers prepaying for service prior to activation.
Investing activities
Our investing activities were primarily annual capital expenditures in 2003, 2004 and 2005 of $0.1 million, $2.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. In 2004, our capital expenditures included $1.7 million for the Coast Guard Concept Validation Project; $0.4 million to upgrade our gateway earth stations; and $0.4 million to upgrade internal system infrastructure. In 2005, we invested an additional $3.5 million in the Coast Guard Concept Validation Project and made $0.5 million of capital improvements to our internal infrastructure.
All of our costs incurred with the construction of the Coast Guard Concept Validation Project are recorded as assets under construction in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2005, we have incurred $5.2 million of such costs, which are included in satellite capital expenditures in the table below. We expect to incur an additional $1.7 million of additional costs prior to the

Financing activities
Our liquidity and capital requirements to date have been financed primarily through issuances of debt, redeemable convertible preferred stock, membership interest units and common stock. We anticipate that our future liquidity and capital requirements will be obtained from the proceeds of this offering and, eventually, from positive operating results. Our financing activities provided net cash of $65.7 million in 2005 and $21.8 million in 2004.
From November 2002 through the end of 2003, we completed a series of private placements of convertible notes, raising $11.8 million (collectively, the “Bridge Notes”). In 2004, prior to our Reorganization, we issued additional Bridge Notes and received proceeds of $1.3 million. On February 17, 2004, concurrent with our Reorganization, we completed a private placement of our Series A preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.3 million, which included converting Bridge Notes and related accrued interest totaling $11.0 million into shares of Series A preferred stock. Bridge Notes totaling $3.3 million, which were not converted, were repaid in May 2004. On August 13, 2004, we issued additional shares of our Series A preferred stock for gross proceeds of $11.5 million.
In November and December 2005 we issued convertible notes for gross proceeds of $25.0 million. On December 30, 2005, we issued approximately 17.6 million shares of our Series B preferred stock for gross proceeds of $71.0 million, which included the conversion of the convertible notes issued in November and December 2005 into shares of Series B preferred stock. Certain holders of our Series B preferred stock are obligated to purchase an additional 10.3 million shares of Series B preferred stock in March 2007 at $4.03 per share. This obligation will terminate upon completion of this offering.
In January 2006, we paid accumulated dividends on the Series A preferred stock totaling $8.0 million, of which $1.3 million was reinvested by the holders of Series A preferred stock in shares of Series B preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms of our Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on our Series B preferred stock, in an amount of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2006, become payable upon the conversion of the Series B preferred stock into common stock upon the completion of this offering.
Based on our existing capital structure, as of December 31, 2005, the accumulated and unpaid dividends on our Series B preferred stock will be $4.4 million at June 30, 2006, and this amount will increase by $726,000 per month until conversion.
In connection with our acquisition of rights to acquire Satcom International Group Plc., we may be obligated to make certain contingent payments as described below under “—Contractual Obligations”.

For the purpose of this table, purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. We do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements. As part of our Reorganization, we acquired the right to acquire Satcom International Group Plc. from two executive officers, including our current Chief Executive Officer. As part of the consideration to acquire this right, we agreed to a contingent payment equal to $2 million, $3 million or $6 million in the event the proceeds from our sale or the valuation in this offering exceeds $250 million, $300 million or $500 million, respectively, subject to proration for amounts that fall in between these thresholds. We anticipate that the completion of this offering will obligate us to make a payment, and the amount reflected above is the maximum amount we may be obligated to pay.
On April 21, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Orbital Sciences Corporation to supply the payloads for our six quick-launch satellites, with options for two additional payloads. The firm fixed price of the six payloads is $17 million, up to a total of $21.4 million if the options for two additional payloads are exercised, subject to price adjustments for late penalties and on-time or early delivery incentives.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs— an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 amends Accounting Research Board No. 43, Chapter 4 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 became effective for us beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 151 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as we currently do not manufacture our inventory.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R. The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS 123, SFAS 148 and APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS 123R, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase

plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the statement of operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25 and generally requires such transactions to be accounted for using a fair-value method. SFAS 123R is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We plan to adopt the modified prospective transition method, which requires us to recognize compensation cost for awards that are not fully vested as of the effective date of SFAS 123R based on the same estimate that we used to previously value our grants under SFAS 123.
We will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants rather than disclose the impact on our consolidated statement of operations in our financial statement footnotes, as is the current practice. As a result, we will incur stock-based compensation expense of less than $0.6 million from January 1, 2006 relating to options issued prior to that date, but which were not fully vested at that time. We will incur additional compensation expense as new awards are made after January 1, 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchange of Non-monetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and requires that such exchanges be measured at fair value, with limited exceptions. SFAS 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 by eliminating the exception that required non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets to be recorded on a carryover basis. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). Fin 47 provided guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. FIN 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. We adopted FIN 47 during 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections— a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”), which requires a retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle for all periods presented. This statement supersedes prior accounting principles that required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
Our market risk from changes in interest rates is not material as we do not currently have any interest-bearing debt.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
Effects of inflation risk
Overall, we believe that the impact of inflation on our business will not be significant.
Foreign currency risk
We expect that an increasing percentage of our revenues will be derived from sources outside of the United States, which subjects us to foreign currency risk. The majority of our existing contracts require our customers to pay us in U.S. dollars. However, our licensees, country representatives and resellers generally derive their revenues from their customers outside of the United States in local currencies. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and such local currencies could make the cost of our services uneconomic for our customers and we may be required to reduce our rates to make the cost of our services economic in certain markets. In addition, currency controls, trade restrictions and other disruptions in the currency convertibility or foreign currency exchange markets could negatively impact the ability of our customers to obtain U.S. dollars with which to pay our fees.
It is also possible in the future that we may not be able to contractually require that our service fees be paid in U.S. dollars in which case we will be exposed to foreign currency risks directly.
Concentration of credit risk
Our customers are primarily commercial organizations headquartered in the United States. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. In 2004 and 2005, revenues from the GE Equipment Services accounted for 37.2% and 31.4% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. In 2005, we sold a gateway earth station to LeoSat for $2.1 million, or 13.7% of our consolidated revenues. We have had minimal bad debt expense from these customers. Other than the two items mentioned, there are no concentrations of business transacted with a particular customer, nor concentrations of revenue from a particular service or geographic area.
Vendor risk
Ninety percent of the subscriber communicators we sell are manufactured by a contract manufacturer, Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, which is under bankruptcy protection. Our communicators are manufactured by a Delphi affiliate in Mexico, which we do not believe will be impacted by the Delphi bankruptcy.
Market rate risk
We do not have any financial instruments or investments at December 31, 2005 that are subject to market rate risks.

OVERVIEW
We operate the only global commercial wireless messaging system optimized for narrowband communications. Our system consists of a global network of 30 low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure. Our two-way communications system enables our customers and end-users, which include large and established multinational businesses and government agencies, to track, monitor, control and communicate cost-effectively with fixed and mobile assets located anywhere in the world. Our products and services enable our customers and end-users to enhance productivity, reduce costs and improve security through a variety of commercial, government and emerging homeland security applications. We enable our customers and end-users to achieve these benefits using a single global technology standard for machine-to-machine and telematic, or M2M, data communications. Our customers have made significant investments in developing ORBCOMM-based applications. Examples of assets that are connected through our M2M data communications system include trucks, trailers, railcars, containers, heavy equipment, fluid tanks, utility meters, pipeline monitoring equipment, marine vessels and oil wells. Our customers include value-added resellers, or VARs, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, such as Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and the Volvo Group, service providers, such as the Equipment Services business of General Electric Company, and government agencies, such as the United States Coast Guard.
Through our M2M data communications system, our customers and end-users can send and receive information to and from any place in the world using low cost subscriber communicators and paying airtime costs that we believe are the lowest in the industry for global connectivity. We believe that there is no other satellite or terrestrial network currently in operation that can offer global two-way wireless narrowband data service coverage at comparable cost using a single technology standard worldwide. We are currently authorized, either directly or indirectly, to provide our communications services in over 75 countries and territories in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 113,000 billable subscriber communicators activated on our system and during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our billable subscriber communicator net additions totaled approximately 24,000 units as compared to net additions of approximately 9,800 units during the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 145%. We believe that our target markets are significant and growing. Harbor Research, Inc., an independent strategic research firm, estimates that the number of vehicles, devices and units worldwide in the commercial transportation, heavy equipment, fixed asset monitoring, marine vessel, consumer transportation, and government and homeland security markets which are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks will grow from approximately 18.5 million in 2006 to approximately 129.5 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38.3%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices for these target markets to increase from approximately 1.2% in 2006 to approximately 6.6% by 2012.
Our unique M2M data communications system is comprised of three elements: (i) a constellation of 30 LEO satellites in multiple orbital planes between 435 and 550 miles above the Earth operating in the Very High Frequency, or VHF, radio frequency spectrum, (ii) related ground infrastructure, including 13 gateway earth stations, five regional gateway control centers and a network control center in Dulles, Virginia, through which data sent to and from subscriber communicators is routed and (iii) subscriber communicators attached to a variety of fixed and mobile assets worldwide. See “The ORBCOMM communications system”.

Acquisition and turn-around
In April 2001, we acquired substantially all of the non-cash assets of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries, which had originally designed, developed, constructed and put into service almost all of our current communications system, for a fraction of their original cost, in a bankruptcy court-approved sale. The assets acquired included 30 operational satellites, four installed U.S. gateway earth stations, the network control center, intellectual property, other equipment and inventory (including uninstalled gateway earth stations, gateway control centers and subscriber communicators), certain service license agreements and contract rights and other assets. The transaction also involved the acquisition of the FCC licenses necessary to operate the system.
Following the acquisition, we implemented a turn-around plan to stabilize our operations and to preserve and substantially enhance the value of the acquired business, while substantially reducing costs and redefining our strategy, including:
  Lowering prices, improving features and performance, and introducing new models of our subscriber communicators. In the past, potential new customers were inhibited by the high prices of our subscriber communicators. To address this challenge, in close collaboration with our subscriber communicator suppliers, including our wholly owned subsidiary, Stellar Satellite Communications, Ltd., we lowered the average price of our subscriber communicators significantly, while also upgrading their features and reliability. As a result of being able to supply low cost subscriber communicators, we are well positioned to address the needs of large-volume market segments, such as mobile asset tracking, including truck and trailer tracking, and many fixed-asset monitoring applications, including pipeline monitoring, utility meter reading and tank level monitoring, where subscriber communicator costs are a critical competitive factor.
 
  Implementing a revised low cost, multi-channel marketing and distribution model. Under our revised marketing and distribution model, we have established relationships with several large-scale VARs, international licensees and country representatives, who develop applications and market our products and services to end-users. This revised structure not only reduces our internal marketing and research and development costs, but also enables us to scale up our distribution network easily and rapidly as our business grows, while avoiding direct competition between us and our resellers. In addition, we introduced the concept of international value added resellers, or IVARs, which generally allows selected resellers to enter into a single agreement with us and pay a single price on a single invoice in a single currency for worldwide service, regardless of the territories they are selling into, thereby avoiding the need to negotiate prices with each individual international licensee and/or country representative. As of December 31, 2005, we had established relationships with approximately 125 VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives. See also “—Sales, Marketing and Distribution”.
 
  Implementing changes intended to extend the operational lives of existing satellites. We implemented improved power management and other techniques to extend battery life, which we believe extended the operational lives of our existing first-generation satellites by an average of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 years. We expect this will increase our flexibility with respect to future deployments of replacement satellites and provide us with more control over the development and timing of future capital investments in our satellites.
 
  Enhancing network capabilities. We implemented a plan to centralize worldwide network operations at our network control center in Dulles, Virginia in order to reduce operational costs, monitor usage and control our satellites more effectively, including taking ownership and control of certain international gateway earth stations and gateway control centers. This has contributed to our ability to lower the cost and improve the quality of our data communications service to end-users.

As a result of our turn-around strategy, our revenues increased from $3.3 million in 2002 to $15.5 million in 2005, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 67% and the number of billable subscriber communicators on our system increased from approximately 31,000 at the end of 2002 to approximately 113,000 by the end of 2005.
OUR BUSINESS STRENGTHS AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
We believe that our focus on M2M data communications is unique in our industry and will enable us to achieve significant growth. We believe no other satellite or terrestrial network currently in operation offers users global two-way wireless narrowband data communications using a single global technology standard anywhere in the world at costs comparable to ours. This provides us with a number of competitive advantages that we believe will help promote our success, including the following:
  Established global network and proven technology. We believe our global network and technology enable us to offer superior products and services to the end-users of our communications system in terms of comprehensive coverage, reliability and compatibility. Our global network provides worldwide coverage, including in international waters, allowing end-users to access our communications system in areas outside the coverage of terrestrial networks, such as cellular, paging and other wireless networks. Our proven technology offers full two-way M2M data communication (with acknowledgement of message receipt) with minimal line-of-sight limitations and no performance issues during adverse weather conditions, which distinguishes us from other satellite communications systems. Our primary satellite orbital planes contain six to eight satellites each, providing built-in system redundancies in the event of a single satellite malfunction. In addition, our system uses a single global technology standard and eliminates the need for multiple network agreements and versions of hardware and software.
 
  Low cost structure. We have a significant cost advantage over any potential new LEO satellite system competitor with respect to our current satellite constellation, because we acquired the majority of our current network assets from ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries out of bankruptcy for a fraction of their original cost. In addition, because our LEO satellites are relatively small and deployed into low- Earth orbit, the constellation is less expensive and easier to launch and maintain than larger LEO satellites and large geostationary satellites. We also have less complex and less costly ground infrastructure and subscriber communication equipment than other satellite communications providers. Our low cost satellite system architecture enables us to provide global two-way wireless narrowband data communication services to end-users at prices that we believe are the lowest in the industry for global connectivity.
 
  Sole commercial satellite operator licensed in the VHF spectrum. We are the sole commercial satellite operator licensed to operate in the VHF spectrum by the FCC or any other national spectrum or radio- telecommunications regulatory agency in the world. The spectrum that we use was allocated globally by the International Telecommunication Union, or ITU, for use by satellite fleets such as ours to provide mobile data communications service. We are currently authorized, either directly or indirectly, to provide our data communications service in over 75 countries and territories, representing over 60% of the world’s GDP, in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. VHF spectrum has inherent advantages for M2M data communications over systems using shorter wavelength signals. The VHF signals used to communicate between our satellites and subscriber communicators are not affected by weather and are less dependent on line-of-sight access to our satellites than other satellite communications systems. In addition, our longer wavelength signals enable our satellites to communicate reliably over longer distances at lower power levels. Higher power requirements of commercial satellite systems in other spectrum bands are a significant factor in their higher cost and technical complexity.

  Significant market lead over satellite-based competitors. We believe that we have a significant market lead in providing M2M data communications services that meet the coverage and cost requirements in the rapidly developing asset management and supply chain markets. The process required to establish a competing satellite-based system with the advantages of a VHF system includes obtaining regulatory permits to launch and operate satellites and to provide communications services, and the design, development and construction of a communications system. We believe that a minimum of five years and significant investments in time and resources would be required for another satellite-based M2M data communications service provider to develop the capability to offer comparable services. Our VARs and IVARs have made significant investments in developing ORBCOMM-based applications. These applications often require substantial time and financial investment to develop for commercial use.
 
  Key distribution and OEM customer relationships. Our strategic relationships with key distributors and OEMs have enabled us to streamline our sales and distribution channels and shift much of the risk and cost of developing and marketing applications to others. We have established strategic relationships with key service providers, such as GE Equipment Services, the world’s largest lessor of trailers, containers and railcars, and XATA Corporation, a leading provider of tracking solutions for the trucking industry, including to Penske Corporation, the leading truck leasing company in the United States, and major OEMs, such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi and Volvo. We believe our close relationships with these distributors and OEMs allows us to work closely with them at all stages of application development, from planning and design through implementation of our M2M data communications services, and to benefit from their industry-specific expertise. By fostering these strong relationships with distributors and OEMs, we believe that once we have become so integrated into our customer’s planning, development and implementation process, and their equipment, we anticipate it will be more difficult to displace us or our communication services. In addition, the fixed and mobile assets which are tracked, monitored, controlled and communicated with by these customers generally have long useful lives and the cost of replacing our communications equipment with an alternative service provider’s equipment could be prohibitive for large numbers of assets.
 
  Reliable, low cost subscriber communicators. There are multiple manufacturers that build subscriber communicators for our network. Through our Stellar subsidiary, we have an arrangement with Delphi that provides us with industrial-scale manufacturing capability for the supply of low cost, reliable, ISO- 9000 certified, automotive grade subscriber communicators. We believe that Delphi possesses the ability to scale up its manufacturing rapidly to meet additional demand. We also have arrangements with independent third party manufacturers who supply our customers and end-users directly with low cost subscriber communicators. As a result of these manufacturing relationships, technological advances and higher volumes, we have significantly reduced the selling price of our subscriber communicators from approximately $280 per unit in 2003 to as little as $100 per unit in volume in 2006. In addition, the cost of communications components necessary for our subscriber communicators to operate in the VHF band is relatively low as they are based on readily available FM radio components.
OUR STRATEGY
Our strategy is to leverage our business strengths and key competitive advantages to increase the number of subscriber communicators activated on our M2M data communications system, both in existing and new markets. We are focused on increasing our market share of customers with the potential for a high number of connections with lower usage applications. We believe that the service revenue associated with each additional subscriber communicator activated on our communications system will more than offset the negligible incremental cost of adding such subscriber communicator to

our system and, as a result, positively impact our results of operations. We plan to continue to target multinational companies and government agencies to increase substantially our penetration of what we believe is a significant and growing addressable market. To achieve our objectives, we are pursuing the following business strategies:
  Expand our low cost, multi-channel marketing and distribution network of resellers. We intend to increase further the number of resellers that develop, market and implement their applications together with our communications services and subscriber communicators to end-users. We are also focused on increasing the number of OEM and distributor relationships with leading companies that own, manage or operate fixed or mobile assets. We are seeking to recruit resellers with industry knowledge to develop applications that could be used for industries or markets that we do not currently serve. Resellers invest their own capital developing applications compatible with our system, and they typically act as their own agents and systems integrators when marketing these applications to end-users, without the need for significant investment by us. As a result, we have established a low cost marketing and distribution model that is both easily scalable by adding additional resellers or large-scale asset deployers, and allows us to penetrate markets without incurring substantial research and development costs or sales and marketing costs.
 
  Expand our international markets. Our international growth strategy is to open new markets outside the United States by obtaining regulatory authorizations and developing markets for our M2M data communications services to be sold in regions where the market opportunity for our OEM customers and resellers is greatest. We are currently authorized to provide our data communications services in over 75 countries and territories in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, directly or indirectly through seven international licensees and 11 country representatives. We are currently working with 48 IVARs, who have the right to market and sell their applications anywhere our communications services are offered. We seek to enter into agreements with strong distributors in each region. Our regional distributors, which include country representatives and international licensees, obtain the necessary regulatory authorizations and develop local markets directly or by recruiting local VARs. In some international markets where distribution channels are in the early stages of development, we seek to bring together VARs who have developed well-tested applications with local distributors to create localized solutions and accelerate the adoption of our M2M data communications services. In addition, we have made efforts to strengthen the financial positions of certain of our regional distributors, including several, such as ORBCOMM Europe, who were former licensees of ORBCOMM Global L.P. left weakened by its bankruptcy, through restructuring transactions whereby we obtained greater operating control over such regional distributors. We believe that by strengthening the financial condition of and our operating control over these established regional distributors, they will be better positioned to promote and distribute our products and services and enable us to achieve our market potential in the relevant regions.
 
  Further reduce subscriber communicator costs. We are working with our subscriber communicator manufacturers to further reduce the cost of our subscriber communicators, as well as to develop technological advances, including further reductions in size, improvements in power management efficiency, increased reliability and enhanced capabilities. For example, two of our subscriber communicator manufacturers, Delphi and Mobile Applitech, Inc., are developing next-generation subscriber communicators which will contain custom integrated circuits combining the functionality of several components, which we believe will lead to reduced costs. Our ability to offer our customers less expensive subscriber communicators that are smaller, more efficient and more reliable is key to our ability to provide a complete low cost solution to our customers and end-users.
 
  Reduce network latency. With the expected launch of our quick-launch and next-generation satellites, we expect to reduce the time lags in delivering messages and data, or network latency, in

Business
 
most regions of the world. We believe this will improve the quality and coverage of our system and enable us to increase our customer base.
 
  Introduce new features and services. We will continue to develop and introduce new features and services to expand our customer base and increase our revenues. For example, we have recently developed a broadcast capability that allows large numbers of subscriber communicators to receive a single message simultaneously. This represents an efficient delivery mechanism to address large populations of subscribers with a single message, such as weather data broadcasts, widespread alert notifications and demand response applications for electric utilities. In addition, we have been working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard to incorporate the ability to receive marine vessel identification and position data from the Automatic Identification System, or AIS, an internationally mandated shipboard broadcast system that aids navigation and improves maritime safety. We may be able to leverage this work with AIS to resell, subject in certain circumstances to Coast Guard approval, AIS data collected by our network to other coast guard services and governmental agencies, as well as companies engaged in security or logistics businesses for tracking shipping activities or for other navigational purposes. We also believe that subscriber communicator technology advances, such as dual-mode devices combining our subscriber communicators with communications devices for cellular networks, will broaden our addressable market by allowing our communications services to serve as an effective backup system for higher bandwidth terrestrial wireless or cellular networks or as a back-channel service for terrestrial or satellite-based broadcast-only networks.
 
  Provide comprehensive technical support, customer service and quality control. We have allocated additional resources to provide customer support for training, integration and testing in order to assist our VARs and other distributors in the roll-out of their applications and to enhance end-user acquisition and retention. We provide our VAR and OEM customers with access to customer support technicians. We also deploy our technicians to our VAR and OEM customers to facilitate the integration of our M2M data communications system with their applications during the planning, development and implementation processes and to certify that these applications are compatible with our system. Our support personnel include professionals with application development, in-house laboratory and hardware design and testing capabilities.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Increasingly, businesses and governments face the need to track, control, monitor and communicate with fixed and mobile assets that are located throughout the world. At the same time, these assets increasingly incorporate microprocessors, sensors and other devices that can provide a variety of information about the asset’s location, condition, operation and environment and are capable of responding to external commands and queries. As these intelligent devices proliferate, we believe that the need to establish two-way communications with these devices is greater than ever. The owners and operators of these intelligent devices are seeking low cost and efficient communications systems that will enable them to communicate with these devices.
We operate in the machine-to-machine and telematics, or M2M, industry, which includes various types of communications systems that enable intelligent machines, devices and fixed or mobile assets to communicate information from the machine, device or fixed or mobile asset to and from back-office information systems of the businesses and government agencies that track, monitor, control and communicate with them. These M2M data communications systems integrate a number of technologies and cross several different industries, including computer hardware and software systems, positioning systems, terrestrial and satellite communications networks and information technologies (such as data hosting and report generation).
 
62


Table of Contents

Business
 
There are three main components in any M2M data communications system:
  Fixed or mobile assets. Intelligent or trackable assets include devices and sensors that collect, measure, record or otherwise gather data about themselves or their environment to be used, analyzed or otherwise disseminated to other machines, applications or human operators and come in many forms, including devices and sensors that:
  Report the location, speed and fuel economy data from trucks and locomotives;
 
  Monitor the location and condition of trailers, railcars and marine shipping containers;
 
  Report operating data and usage for heavy equipment;
 
  Monitor fishing vessels to enforce government regulations regarding geographic and seasonal restrictions;
 
  Report energy consumption from a utility meter;
 
  Monitor corrosion in a pipeline;
 
  Monitor fluid levels in oil storage tanks;
 
  Measure water delivery in agricultural pipelines;
 
  Detect movement along international borders; and
 
  Monitor environmental conditions in agricultural facilities.
  Communications network. The communications network enables a connection to take place between the fixed or mobile asset and the back-office systems and users of that asset’s data. The proliferation of terrestrial and satellite-based wireless networks has enabled the creation of a variety of M2M data communications applications. Networks that are being used to deliver M2M data include terrestrial communications networks, such as cellular, radio paging and WiFi networks, and satellite communications networks, utilizing low-Earth-orbit or geosynchronous satellites.
 
  Back-office application or user. Data collected from a remote asset is used in a variety of ways with applications that allow the end-user to track, monitor, control and communicate with these assets with a greater degree of control and with much less time and expense than would be required to do so manually.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
Our estimates of the current addressable markets, as set forth in this prospectus, are based upon our analysis of secondary market data.
Commercial transportation
Large trucking and trailer leasing companies require applications that report location, engine diagnostic data, driver performance, fuel consumption, compliance, rapid decelerations, fuel taxes, driver logs and zone adherence in order to manage their truck fleets more safely and efficiently and to improve truck and trailer utilization.
Truck and trailer fleet owners and operators, as well as truck and trailer OEMs, are increasingly integrating M2M data communications systems into their trucks and trailers. In the near future, as older analog cellular wireless networks currently used in truck and trailer tracking are phased out, end-users will need to migrate to alternative communications systems and we expect that an increasing number of customers will be seeking long-term solutions for their M2M data communications needs as they make their replacement decisions. Although trailer tracking is in the early stages of adoption, it

represents a significantly larger potential market as we estimate that there are approximately three trailers to every truck. The trailer market also requires additional applications, such as cargo sensor reporting, load monitoring, control of refrigeration systems and door alarms. Future regulations may require position tracking of specific types of cargo, such as hazardous materials, and could also increase trailer tracking market opportunities. The railcar market also requires many of these same applications and many trailer applications using M2M data communications system can easily be translated to the railcar market.
According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of commercial transportation vehicles worldwide, including tractors, trailers, fleet cars and railcars, is estimated to be approximately 71.1 million in 2006, of which approximately 2.1 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of commercial transportation vehicles connected to M2M data communications systems will grow to approximately 14.6 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38.2%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from approximately 2.9% in 2006 to approximately 16.0% of a total of 91.0 million commercial transportation vehicles by 2012.
Heavy equipment
Heavy equipment fleet owners and leasing companies seeking to improve fleet productivity and profitability require applications that report diagnostic information, location (including for purposes of geo-fencing), time-of-use information, emergency notification, driver usage and maintenance alerts for their heavy equipment, which may be geographically dispersed, often in remote, difficult to reach locations. Using M2M data communications systems, heavy equipment fleet operators can remotely manage the productivity and mechanical condition of their equipment fleets, potentially lowering operating costs through preventive maintenance. OEMs can also use M2M applications to better anticipate the maintenance and spare parts needs of their customers, expanding the market for more higher-margin spare parts orders for the OEMs. Heavy equipment OEMs are increasingly integrating M2M data communications systems into their equipment at the factory or offering them as add-on options through certified after-market dealers.
Since the heavy equipment market is dominated by a small number of OEMs, M2M data communications service providers targeting this market segment focus on building relationships with these OEMs, such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi and Volvo.
According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of pieces of heavy equipment worldwide, including bulldozers, forklifts, cranes and other construction vehicles, is estimated to be approximately 6.6 million in 2006, of which approximately 0.9 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of pieces of heavy equipment connected to M2M data communications systems will grow to approximately 4.0 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 28.2%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from 13.5% in 2006 to 46.9% of a total of 8.4 million pieces of heavy equipment by 2012.
Fixed asset monitoring
Companies with widely dispersed fixed assets require a means of collecting data from remote assets to monitor productivity, minimize downtime and realize other operational benefits, as well as managing and controlling the functions of such assets, for example, the remote operation of valves and electrical switches. M2M data communications systems can provide industrial companies with applications for automated meter reading, oil and gas storage tank monitoring, pipeline monitoring and environmental

monitoring, which can reduce operating costs for these companies, including labor costs, fuel costs, and the expense of on-site monitoring and maintenance.
According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of fixed assets worldwide, including pipelines, environmental equipment and storage tanks, is estimated to be approximately 677.0 million in 2006, of which approximately 3.1 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of fixed assets connected to M2M data communications systems will grow to approximately 20.7 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 37.2%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from 0.5% in 2006 to 2.4% of a total of 866.6 million fixed assets by 2012.
Marine vessels
Marine vessels have a need for satellite-based communications due to the absence of reliable terrestrial-based coverage more than a few miles offshore. M2M data communications systems may offer features and functions to luxury recreational marine vessels and commercial fishing vessels, such as onboard diagnostics and other marine telematics, alarms, requests for assistance, security, location reporting and tracking, e-mail and two-way messaging, catch data and weather reports. In addition, owners and operators of commercial fishing and other marine vessels are increasingly subject to regulations governing, among other things, commercial fishing seasons and geographic limitations, vessel tracking, safety systems, and resource management and protection using various M2M communications systems.
According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of marine vessels worldwide, including shipping, fishing and recreational vessels, is estimated to be approximately 46.0 million in 2006, of which approximately 1.6 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of marine vessels connected to M2M data communications will grow to approximately 4.7 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 19.7%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from 3.4% in 2006 to 8.0% of a total of 58.8 million marine vessels by 2012.
Government and homeland security
Governments worldwide are seeking to address the global terror threat by monitoring land borders and hazardous materials, as well as marine vessels and containers. In addition, modern military and public safety forces use a variety of applications, particularly in supply chain management, logistics and support, which could incorporate our products and services. For example, approximately 8 to 9 million maritime shipping containers from overseas arrive annually at 105 U.S. ports of entry and only 5% of these containers, which are considered high risk, are inspected, according to Forbes Magazine. Increasingly, there is a need to monitor these vessels for homeland security and M2M data communications systems could be used in applications to address homeland security requirements, such as tracking and monitoring these vessels and containers. In early 2003, we successfully conducted a study with Northrop Grumman Corporation on behalf of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to demonstrate our system’s ability to monitor the status of door seals on commercial shipping containers.
M2M communications systems can also be used in applications to address infiltration across land borders, for example, monitoring seismic sensors placed along the border to detect incursions. We may also be able to leverage our work with AIS to resell, subject in certain circumstances to Coast Guard approval, AIS data collected by our network to other coast guard services and governmental agencies.

According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of assets worldwide with the potential to be monitored for government and homeland security purposes, including shipping containers, vehicles, equipment and other devices, is estimated to be approximately 148.0 million in 2006, of which approximately 2.9 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of such shipping containers, vehicles, equipment and other devices connected to M2M data communications will grow to approximately 26.5 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 44.6%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from 2.0% in 2006 to 14.0% of a total of 189.4 million assets being monitored for purposes of government and homeland security by 2012.
Consumer transportation
Automotive companies are seeking a means to address the growing need for safety systems in passenger vehicles and to broadcast a single message to multiple vehicles at one time. Within the automotive market, there is no single communications technology that satisfies the need for 100% coverage, high reliability and low cost. An example of an automotive safety application is a system that has the ability to detect and report the deployment of a vehicle’s airbag, triggering the dispatch of an ambulance, tow truck or other necessary response personnel. Many automotive safety systems currently in service are based on analog cellular communications networks, many of which are being phased-out over the next several years in favor of digital cellular networks. In addition, terrestrial cellular communications systems have substantial “dead zones”, where network coverage is not available, and are difficult to manage globally, as vehicles may pass through multiple coverage areas, requiring the system to “roam” across a number of different cellular carriers’ networks. With emerging technology, satellite-based automotive safety systems may be able to provide near-real-time message delivery with minimal network latencies, thereby providing a viable alternative to cellular-based systems. In addition, many cellular-based automotive safety systems adopted or being adopted lack backwards compatibility that could limit their overall functionality.
While our system currently has latency limitations which make it impractical for us to address this market fully, we believe that our existing network may be used with dual-mode devices, combining our subscriber communicators with communications devices for cellular networks, allowing our communications services to function as an effective back-up system by filling the coverage gaps in current cellular or wireless networks used in consumer transportation applications. In addition, we may undertake additional capital expenditures beyond our current capital plan in order to expand our satellite constellation and lower our latencies to the level that addresses the requirements of resellers and OEMs developing applications for this market if we believe the economic returns justify such an investment. We believe we can supplement our satellite constellation within the lead time required to integrate applications using our communications service into the automotive OEM product development cycle.
According to Harbor Research, Inc., the number of consumer transportation vehicles worldwide, primarily automobiles, is estimated to be approximately 584.1 million in 2006, of which approximately 8.0 million are connected to M2M data communications systems using satellite or cellular networks. Harbor estimates that the number of consumer transportation vehicles connected to M2M data communications will grow to approximately 59.1 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 39.6%. During this time, they expect penetration of M2M data communications devices in the total addressable market to increase from 1.4% in 2006 to 7.9% of a total of 747.7 million consumer transportation vehicles by 2012.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our principal products and services are satellite-based data communications services and subscriber communicators. Our communications services are used by businesses and government agencies that are engaged in tracking, monitoring, controlling or communicating with fixed or mobile assets globally. Our low cost, industrially-rated subscriber communicators are embedded into many different assets for use with our system. Our products and services are combined with industry or customer specific applications developed by our VARs which are sold to their end-user customers.
We do not generally market to end-users directly, instead, we utilize a cost-effective sales and marketing strategy of partnering with VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives. These resellers, which are our direct customers, market to end-users.
Satellite communications services
We provide global two-way M2M data communications services through our satellite-based system. We focus our communications services on narrowband data applications. These data messages are typically sent by a remote subscriber communicator through our satellite system to our ground facilities for forwarding through an appropriate terrestrial communications network to the ultimate destination. Our system, typically combined with industry- or customer-specific applications developed by our resellers, permits a wide range of fixed and mobile assets to be tracked, monitored, controlled and communicated with from a central point.
We typically derive subscription-based recurring revenue from our VAR customers based upon the number of subscriber communicators activated on, and the amount of data transmitted through, our communications system. Customers pay between $1 and $60 in monthly service charges to access our communications system (in addition to a one-time provisioning fee ranging from $0 to $30) which we believe is the lowest price point currently available for global connectivity.

Subscriber communicators
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Stellar Satellite Communications Ltd., markets and sells subscriber communicators manufactured by Delphi directly to our customers. We also earn royalties from the sale of subscriber communicators manufactured by third parties. We have agreements with two other manufacturers, Quake Global, Inc. and Mobile Applitech, Inc., who, together with Stellar, currently offer 11 different models of subscriber communicators for sale and use on our communications system.

Table of Contents

Business
 
To ensure the availability of subscriber communicators having different functional capabilities in sufficient quantities to meet demand, we have provided extensive design specifications and technical and engineering support to our manufacturers. In addition, because we maintain backwards compatibility, subscriber communicators produced by former manufacturers are still in use with our system today.
Stellar currently sells two models of subscriber communicators, the DS 100 and the DS 300, which are manufactured by Delphi. Delphi is now Stellar’s sole manufacturing source for subscriber communicators. Delphi and Mobile Applitech, Inc., are currently developing next-generation subscriber communicators which will contain a custom integrated circuit combining the functionality of several components. See “—Key Partnerships— Delphi Automotive Systems LLC”.
CUSTOMERS
We market and sell our products and services directly to OEM and government customers and indirectly through VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives. Other than GE Equipment Services, which represented approximately 31.4% of our revenues for fiscal 2005 and LeoSat LLP, the purchaser of a gateway earth station in Kazakhstan, which represented 13.7% of our fiscal 2005 revenues, no other customer accounted for more than 10% of our total sales in fiscal 2005.
KEY RELATIONSHIPS
Delphi Automotive Systems LLC
In May 2004, we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Stellar and Delphi Corporation, a tier-one automotive components supplier that designs, manufacturers and supplies advanced automotive grade subscriber communicators for Stellar for use with our communications system. Pursuant to the agreement, and subject to limited exceptions, Delphi Corporation’s Delphi Automotive System LLC subsidiary, or Delphi, is the sole supplier of newly developed subscriber communicators for Stellar. Delphi Corporation has a right of first refusal following termination of the agreement to supply Stellar with new products developed under the Cooperation Agreement. The initial term of the agreement was until December 31, 2005 and it has been extended by mutual written agreement of the parties until December 31, 2007. Although Delphi is currently subject to bankruptcy proceedings, it manufactures our subscriber communicators in Mexico with non-unionized labor, and as a result, we do not believe that such bankruptcy proceedings should impact our contract with Delphi Corporation. This relationship provides Stellar access to Delphi’s substantial technical and manufacturing resources, which we believe enables Stellar to continue to lower the cost of our subscriber communicators while at the same time providing improved features. Delphi began commercial production of two new models which significantly reduced the selling price from approximately $280 per unit in 2003 to as little as $100 per unit in volume in 2006. Several of Stellar’s customers are now in the process of full commercial roll-out using these less costly, new generation subscriber communicators. In addition to providing a lower-cost subscriber communicators with higher reliability, we believe that Delphi also has the capability to increase production rapidly to meet additional demand as Stellar expands its business.
General Electric
We have a significant customer relationship with General Electric Company that provides access to a wide array of sales channels and extends to several divisions, including GE Equipment Services, which includes Trailer Fleet Services, Penske Truck Leasing, Rail Services and GE’s Asset Intelligence, or AI, group, among others. All of these GE Equipment Services divisions directly or indirectly sell

applications utilizing our M2M data communications services and subscriber communicators manufactured by Stellar. As a result, GE has a number of different sales channels for the distribution of our asset monitoring and tracking products either to third party end-users or to other GE divisions who are end-users.
GE Equipment Services has made a strong commitment to us as a strategic partner by developing applications that use our M2M data communications system. Our largest GE customer is the AI group of GE Equipment Services, which is dedicated to M2M data communications applications and which renewed its IVAR agreement with us until 2009. GE’s AI group has placed orders with our Stellar subsidiary for 87,000 subscriber communicator units for 2006, 46,000 of which will be used to support deployments of trailers for Wal-Mart. The AI group’s first application, VeriWise, enables GE’s customers to track and monitor their trailer assets and shipments throughout the world. GE Rail Services is also integrating our M2M data communications system into its RailWise application for railcars. GE Equipment Services’ European division offers RailWise and we expect GE to begin marketing both VeriWise and RailWise into other international markets, including Mexico. Penske Truck Leasing also uses our M2M data communications system to monitor tractor-trailers, and other GE businesses are monitoring many different types of assets, including GE Healthcare’s portable MRI machines, locomotives for GE Rail, tractor-trailers for Penske Truck Leasing, and portable electric generators for GE Energy.
United States Coast Guard
In May 2004, we were awarded a contract by the U.S. Coast Guard to develop and demonstrate the ability to receive, collect and forward AIS data over our satellite system, or the Concept Validation Project. Our Coast Guard demonstration satellite is scheduled for launch in the third quarter of 2006 and will carry an AIS receiver in addition to our standard communications payload. We plan to outfit our subsequent satellites with AIS capability and may be able to leverage this work to resell, subject in certain circumstances to Coast Guard approval, AIS data collected by our network to other coast guard services and governmental agencies, as well as companies engaged in security or logistics businesses for tracking shipping activities or for other navigational purposes. AIS is a shipboard broadcast system that transmits a marine vessel’s identification and position to aid navigation and improve maritime safety. The International Maritime Organization has mandated the use of AIS on all Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) vessels, which are vessels over 300 tons. Current terrestrial-based AIS networks provide limited coverage and are not able to provide the expanded coverage capability desired by the Coast Guard. By using our satellite system, the Coast Guard is expected to be able to collect and process AIS data well beyond the coast of the United States in a cost effective and timely fashion. The Coast Guard has paid approximately $6.1 million as of December 31, 2005 under this contract, primarily for the construction and launch of an AIS-enabled demonstration satellite and we expect a total of $7.6 million to be paid, excluding additional amounts which may become payable if the Coast Guard elects to receive additional maintenance and AIS data transmission services under the contract. Such payments are included in deferred revenue prior to the launch of the demonstration satellite.

SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Satellite services
We generally market our satellite communications services through VARs and internationally through IVARs, international licensees and country representatives. The following chart shows how our low cost, multi-channel distribution network is structured:
(FLOW CHART)
VARs and IVARs. We are currently working with 106 VARs and IVARs and seek to continue to increase the number of our VARs and IVARs as we expand our business. The role of the VAR or IVAR is to develop tailored applications that utilize our system and then market these applications to specific, targeted vertical markets. VARs and IVARs are responsible for establishing retail pricing, collecting airtime revenue from end-users and for providing customer service and support to end-users. Our relationship with a VAR or IVAR may be direct or indirect and may be governed by a reseller agreement between us, the international licensee or country representative, on the one hand, and the VAR or IVAR on the other hand, that establishes the VAR’s or IVAR’s responsibilities with respect to the business, as well as the cost of satellite service to the VAR or IVAR. VARs and IVARs are responsible for their own development and sales costs. VARs and IVARs typically have unique industry knowledge, which permits them to develop applications targeted for a particular industry or market. Our VARs and IVARs have made significant investments in developing ORBCOMM-based applications. These applications often require significant time and financial investment to develop for commercial use. By leveraging these investments, we are able to minimize our own research and development costs, increase the scale of our business without increasing overhead and diversify our business risk among many sales channels. VARs and IVARs pay fees for access to our system based on the number of subscriber communicators they have activated on the network and on the amount of data transmitted. VARs and IVARs are also generally required to pay a one-time fee for each subscriber communicator activated on our system and for other administrative charges. VARs and IVARs then typically bill end-users based upon the full value of the application and are responsible for customer care to the end-user.
We are currently working with 48 IVARs. Generally, subject to certain regulatory restrictions, the IVAR arrangement allows us to enter into a single agreement and allows the IVARs to pay a single price on a single invoice in a single currency for worldwide service, regardless of the territories they are selling into, thereby avoiding the need to negotiate prices with individual international licensees and country representatives. We pay our international licensees and country representatives a commission on revenues received from IVARs from each subscriber communicator activated in a specific territory.

International licensees and country representatives. We generally market and distribute our services outside the United States and Canada primarily through international licensees and country representatives, including through our subsidiary, Satcom International Group Plc. which has entered into country representative agreements with our affiliated international licensee, ORBCOMM Europe LLC, covering the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland and a service license agreement covering substantially all of the countries of the Middle East and a significant number of countries of Central Asia. In addition, ORBCOMM Europe and Satcom have entered into an agreement obligating ORBCOMM Europe to enter into a country representative agreement for Turkey with Satcom, if the current country representative agreement for Turkey expires or is terminated for any reason. We rely on these third parties to establish business in their respective territories, including obtaining and maintaining necessary regulatory and other approvals, as well as managing local VARs. In addition, we believe that our international licensees and country representatives, through their local expertise, are able to operate in these territories in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. We currently have agreements covering over 160 countries and territories through our seven international licensees and 11 country representatives. As we seek to expand internationally, we expect to continue to enter into agreements with additional international licensees and country representatives, particularly in Asia and Africa. International licensees and country representatives are generally required to make the system available in their designated regions to VARs and IVARs.
In territories with multiple countries, it is typical for our international licensees to appoint country representatives. Country representatives are sub-licensees within the territory. They perform tasks assigned by the international licensee. In return, the international licensees are responsible for, among other things, operating and maintaining the necessary gateway earth stations within their designated regions, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to provide our services in their designated regions, and marketing and distributing our services in such regions.
Country representatives are entities that hold regulatory approvals and maintain licenses to operate our system within their designated countries. As a U.S. company, we cannot legally hold a license to operate as a telecommunications provider in some countries and our country representative program permits us to serve many international markets. In some cases, a country representative enters into a joint venture with us. In other cases, the country representative is an independent entity that pays us fees based on the amount of airtime usage on our system. Country representatives may distribute our services directly or through a distribution network made up of local VARs.
Subject to certain limitations, our service license agreements grant to the international licensee, among other things, the exclusive right (subject to our right to appoint IVARs) to market services using our satellite system in a designated region and a limited right to use certain of our proprietary technologies and intellectual property.
International licensees and country representatives who are appointed by us pay fees for access to the system in their region based on the number of subscriber communicators activated on the network in their territory and the amount of data transmitted through the system. We may adjust pricing in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements. We pay international licensees and country representatives a commission based on the revenue we receive from IVARs that is generated from subscriber communicators that IVARs activate in their territories.
We have entered into or are negotiating new service license or country representative agreements with several international licensees and country representatives, respectively, including former licensees of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and new groups consisting of affiliates of former licensees of ORBCOMM Global L.P. Until new service license agreements are in place, we will operate in those regions where a licensee has not been contracted either pursuant to letters of intent entered into with such licensee or

pursuant to the terms of the original agreements with ORBCOMM Global L.P., as is currently the case in Japan, South Korea and Malaysia. There can be no assurance we will be successful in negotiating new service license or country representative agreements.
Subscriber communicators
Our subsidiary, Stellar, markets and sells subscriber communicators manufactured by Delphi directly to customers. We also earn royalties from the sale of subscriber communicators manufactured by third parties. We currently have a Cooperation Agreement with Stellar and Delphi’s parent, Delphi Corporation, pursuant to which Delphi has agreed to provide manufacturing support for Stellar subscriber communicators. We believe that declining prices for our subscriber communicators have opened further the market for ORBCOMM-based applications. We will seek to increase the functionality, variety and reliability of our subscriber communicators, while at the same time providing cost savings to end-users.
COMPETITION
Currently, we are the only commercial provider of below 1 GHz band, or little LEO, two-way data satellite services optimized for narrowband. However, we are not the only provider of data communication services, and we face competition from a variety of existing and proposed products and services. Competing service providers can be divided into three main categories: terrestrial tower-based, low-Earth orbit mobile satellite and geostationary satellite service providers.
Terrestrial tower-based networks
While terrestrial tower-based networks are capable of providing services at costs comparable to ours, they lack seamless global coverage. Terrestrial coverage is dependent on the location of tower transmitters, which are generally located in densely populated areas or heavily traveled routes. Several data and messaging markets, such as long-haul trucking, railroads, oil and gas, agriculture, utility distribution and heavy construction, have significant activity in sparsely populated areas with limited or no terrestrial coverage. In addition, there are many different terrestrial systems and protocols, so service providers must coordinate with multiple carriers to enable service in different coverage areas. In some geographic areas, terrestrial tower-based networks have gaps in their coverage and may require a back-up system to fill in such coverage gaps.
Low-Earth orbit mobile satellite service providers
Low-Earth orbit mobile satellite service providers operating above the 1 GHz band, or big LEO systems, can provide data connectivity with global coverage that can compete with our communications services; however, to date, the focus of big LEO satellite service providers has been primarily on circuit-switched communications tailored for voice traffic, which, by its nature, is less efficient for the transfer of short data messages because they require a dedicated circuit that is time and bandwidth intensive when compared to the amount of information transmitted. Additionally, a circuit-switched network does not support multicast or broadcast messaging for the transmission of the same data to multiple users. These systems are still in the early stages with respect to the development of data terminals and integration of applications and they entail significantly higher costs for the satellite fleet operator and the end-users. Our principal big LEO mobile satellite service competitors are Globalstar Telecommunications Ltd. and Iridium Holdings LLC.

Geostationary satellite service providers
Geostationary satellite system operators can offer services that compete with ours. Certain pan-regional or global systems (operating in the L or S bands), such as Inmarsat plc, are designed and licensed for mobile high-speed data and voice services. However, the equipment cost and service fees for narrowband, or small packet, data communications with these systems is significantly more expensive than for our system. Some companies, such as the OmniTracs subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated, which uses SES Global S.A.’s satellites (operating in C and Ku bands) have developed technologies to use their bandwidth for mobile applications. We believe that the equipment cost and service fees for narrowband data communications using these systems is also significantly higher than ours, and that these geostationary providers cannot offer global service with competitive communications devices and costs. In addition, these geostationary systems have other limitations that we are not subject to. For example, they require a clear line of sight between the communicator equipment and the satellite, are affected by adverse weather or atmospheric conditions, and are vulnerable to catastrophic single point failures of their satellites with limited backup options.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
VARs incur the majority of research and development costs associated with developing applications for end-users. Although we provide assistance and development expertise to our VARs, such as certifying applications for use with our communications system, we do not engage in significant research and development activities of our own. With respect to development of our next-generation satellites, we do not incur direct research and development costs; however, we contract with third parties who undertake research and development activities in connection with supplying us with satellite payloads, buses and launch vehicles.
We have invested and continue to invest in development of advanced features for our subscriber communicator hardware. For instance, Stellar paid approximately $525,000 to Delphi in 2005 in connection with the development of next-generation subscriber communicators that should provide increased functionality at a lower cost.
BACKLOG
The backlog of subscriber communicators at our Stellar subsidiary (one of three subscriber communicator manufacturers for our system) as of March 31, 2006 was 66,556 units, or approximately $11.5 million, as compared with a backlog of 35,930 units, or approximately $7.9 million as of March 31, 2005 (net of a 52,000 unit order that was removed based on our assessment of the customer’s inability to fulfill the purchase order). We believe that approximately $7.3 million of the backlog as of March 31, 2006 will be filled during the current fiscal year and that the majority of the remainder will be filled in fiscal 2007. Although we believe that the orders included in backlog are firm, certain orders may be cancelled without penalty.
In addition, our “pre-bill backlog”, which represents subscriber communicators activated, but not yet billing, was 15,497 units as of March 31, 2006, as compared with a pre-bill backlog of 12,409 units as of March 31, 2005. We believe that the majority of units that comprise our pre-bill backlog will be billable within a one-year period. We are not able to determine pre-bill backlog in dollars because the service costs for each subscriber communicator varies by customer.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We use and hold intellectual property rights for a number of trademarks, service marks and logos for our system. We have one main mark— “ORBCOMM”— which is registered in over 125 countries. In addition, we currently own or have applied for four patents relating to various aspects of our system,

Business
 
and at any time we may file additional patent applications in the appropriate countries for various aspects of our system.
We believe that all intellectual property rights used in our system were independently developed or duly licensed by us, by those we license the rights from or by the technology companies who supplied portions of our system. We cannot assure you, however, that third parties will not bring suit against us for patent or other infringement of intellectual property rights.
Our patents cover various aspects of the protocol employed by our subscriber communicators. In addition, certain intellectual property rights to the software used by the Stellar subscriber communicators is cross-licensed between Stellar and Delphi.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 2006, we had 82 full-time employees, 22 of whom are at our Fort Lee, New Jersey headquarters and 60 of whom are at our Dulles, Virginia network control center and offices. Our employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreements and we have not experienced a work stoppage since our inception. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.
PROPERTIES
We currently sublease approximately 7,000 square feet of office space in Fort Lee, New Jersey and lease approximately 25,000 square feet of office space in Dulles, Virginia. We also lease approximately 25,000 square feet of additional space in Virginia for storage. In addition, we currently own and operate five gateway earth stations at the following locations, three situated on owned real property and two on real property subject to long-term leases:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Quake
On February 24, 2005, Quake Global, Inc. filed a four-count action for damages and injunctive relief against ORBCOMM LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, Stellar, and Delphi Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. The action alleges antitrust violations, breach of contract, tortious interference and improper exclusive dealing arrangements. Quake claims damages in excess of $15 million and seeks treble damages, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and that we be required to divest ourselves of the assets we had acquired from Stellar and reconstitute a new and effective competitor. On April 21, 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss or to compel arbitration and dismiss or stay the proceedings, which the District Court denied. On July 19, 2005, we and Stellar took an interlocutory appeal as of right to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the denial of our motion to dismiss. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral argument is expected in or around the fourth quarter of 2006. On December 6, 2005, we filed our answer and counterclaims to Quake’s complaint.

On September 30, 2005, ORBCOMM Asia Limited, or OAL, delivered to us, ORBCOMM Holdings LLC, ORBCOMM LLC, Jerome Eisenberg, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Don Franco, a former officer of ours, a written notice of its intention to arbitrate certain claims of breach of contract and constructive fraud related to the Memorandum of Understanding dated May 8, 2001 and seeking an award of $3.2 million in actual and compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. On May 10, 2006, OAL quantified its lost profit claim at $27.6 million. We believe OAL is approximately 90% owned by Gene Hyung-Jin Song, who is also a stockholder of ours. See “Certain relationships and related party transactions— ORBCOMM Asia Limited”. On October 13, 2005, we, ORBCOMM Holdings LLC, ORBCOMM LLC, Jerome Eisenberg and Don Franco received notification from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, a division of the American Arbitration Association, that it had received the demand for arbitration from OAL. On October 19, 2005, ORBCOMM Inc., ORBCOMM Holdings LLC, ORBCOMM LLC, Jerome Eisenberg and Don Franco filed a petition, by order to show cause, in New York Supreme Court seeking a stay of the arbitration as to all parties other than OAL and ORBCOMM LLC on the ground that those parties were not signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding which contains the arbitration provision upon which the arbitration was based. By order dated January 31, 2006, the Supreme Court of the State of New York permanently stayed the arbitration as to all parties other than ORBCOMM LLC and OAL. The arbitration hearing on the claims between OAL and ORBCOMM LLC is currently scheduled for June 8-9, 2006. See “Certain relationships and related party transactions—ORBCOMM Asia Limited”.
We are subject to various other claims and assessments in the normal course of our business. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the litigation discussed above with certainty and while some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, based on its evaluation of matters which are pending or asserted our management believes the disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. An unfavorable ruling could include money damages or injunctive relief. There is the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of the period in which the matter is ultimately resolved, if it is resolved unfavorably, or in the period in which an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

The ORBCOMM communications system
OVERVIEW
Our data communications services are provided by our proprietary two-way satellite system, which is designed to provide “near-real-time” and “store-and-forward” communication to and from both fixed and mobile assets around the world.
Our system has three operational segments:
  The space segment, which consists of a constellation of 30 operational satellites in multiple orbital planes between 435 and 550 miles above the Earth;
 
  The ground and control segment, which consists of thirteen operational gateway earth stations that send signals to and receive signals from the satellites, five gateway control centers that process message traffic and forward it through the gateway earth stations to the satellites or to appropriate terrestrial communications networks for transmission to the back-office application or end-user and the network control center (including two of the five gateway control centers) located in Dulles, Virginia, which monitors and manages the flow of information through the system and provides the command, control and telemetry functions to optimize satellite availability; and
 
  The subscriber segment, which consists of the subscriber communicators used by end-users to transmit and receive messages to and from their assets and our satellites.
For most applications using our system, data is generated by an end-user application and transferred to a subscriber communicator, which reformats the data and transmits it to the next satellite that comes into view. The data is routed by the satellite to the next gateway earth station it successfully connects to, which in turn forwards it to the associated gateway control center. Within the gateway control center, the data is processed and forwarded to its ultimate destination after acknowledgement to the subscriber communicator that the entire data message content has been received. The destination may be another subscriber communicator, a pager, a cellular phone, a corporate resource management system or any personal or business Internet e-mail address. In addition, data can be sent in the reverse direction (a feature which is utilized by many applications to remotely control assets).
When a satellite is in view of and connected to a gateway earth station at the time it receives data from a subscriber communicator, a transmission is initiated to transfer the data in what we refer to as “near-real-time” mode. In this “near-real-time” mode, the data is passed immediately from a subscriber communicator to a satellite and onto the gateway earth station to the appropriate control center for routing to its final destination. When a satellite is not immediately in view of a gateway earth station, the satellite switches to a store-and-forward mode to accept data in “GlobalGram” format. These GlobalGrams are short messages (consisting of data of up to approximately 200 bytes) and are stored in a satellite until it can connect through a gateway earth station to the appropriate control center. The automatic mode-switching capability between near-real-time service and GlobalGram service allows the satellite network to be constantly available to subscriber communicators worldwide regardless of their location.
End-user data can be delivered by the gateway control center in a variety of formats. Communications options include private and public communications links to the control center, such as standard Internet, dedicated telephone company and VPN-based transports. Data can also be received via standard e-mail protocols with full delivery acknowledgement as requested, or via our Internet protocol gateway interface in HTML and XML formats. Wherever possible, our system makes use of existing, mature technologies and conforms to internationally accepted standards for electronic mail and web technologies.

SPACE SEGMENT
At present, we have thirty operational satellites in six orbital planes providing worldwide coverage. We have authority under our FCC licenses to operate up to a total of forty-eight satellites. Additional satellites we launch will further reduce our network latency and enhance service levels for our customers.
Planes A, B, C and D, our primary planes, contain six to eight satellites each, constitute the main part of the constellation and provide the coverage to regions between approximately 60 degrees north and south latitudes. The orbits are designed to provide optimum coverage between 20 and 55 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, which include the principal economic centers of the world. Planes F and G contain one satellite each and provide polar coverage.
Unlike geostationary satellites, our satellites are relatively small in size, weighing less than one hundred pounds and measuring only forty-two inches in diameter and six inches in height before deployment. The relatively small size of our satellites is made possible by the fact that our first-generation satellites do not require a propulsion system (although a small propulsion system is installed) to maintain the satellites in the appropriate orbit and have significantly lower power requirements as compared to geostationary satellites.
Our satellites are equipped with a VHF and Ultra High Frequency, or UHF, communication payload capable of operation in the 137.0-150.05 MHz and the 400.075-400.125 MHz bands. The use of the system uplink (Earth-to-space) spectrum is managed by an on-board computer that employs the ORBCOMM-pioneered Dynamic Channel Activity Assignment System, or DCAAS. DCAAS continuously scans the authorized spectrum, identifies frequencies in use by other users of the frequency band and assigns subscriber communication uplink channels to minimize interference. DCAAS changes the uplink frequency at least every 15 seconds, which allows our system to coexist with the current users of the VHF frequency band, and limits interference to acceptable levels.
The gateway earth stations and the subscriber communicators communicate with the satellites in the same VHF band, thus eliminating the design complexity, as well as the associated bulk, power and cost of supporting multiple communication equipment on a single satellite. Our satellites also contain packet-routing communications capability, including a limited store-and-forward capability.
Satellite Health. We believe that our satellite performance remains stable and sufficient for the use of our customers. Our satellite availability, or the percentage of time that a satellite is available to pass commercial traffic, was 97% for the first three months of 2006. Twenty-three of the thirty operational satellites have aggregate average availability over 99.4%. With the high probability of several satellites in view at any one time, especially in the primary coverage area, and the constant motion of the satellites, the time a satellite is unavailable is relatively insignificant.
Due to our satellite constellation architecture, which consists of numerous independent satellites, our space segment is inherently redundant and service quality is not significantly affected by individual satellite failures. Of the original 35 satellites launched since 1995, one early prototype reached its anticipated operational life and four other satellites experienced failures in their early stages rendering them unable to provide commercial service. Our system has experienced minor degradation over time, equal to less than 0.5% over the past four years (excluding four satellites that have slightly lower commercial service capability). The last mission-ending failure occurred in October 2000, prior to our acquisition of the satellite constellation, when a satellite experienced a processor malfunction. These failures are less than anticipated failure rates and demonstrate the benefits of a distributed satellite system architecture like ours.

Next-generation replenishment plan requires only six satellites per orbital plan. Replacement launch dates noted with an asterisk are not currently planned. If market demands increase or lower latencies are required, we may exercise any options we may have to acquire additional satellites to supplement or expand our constellation.
Recent Upgrades. Beginning in 2002, we implemented several operational changes and software updates that we believe have enhanced the expected life of the satellites. The majority of these changes focused on extending the life of the primary life-limiting component— the nickel hydrogen batteries— which power the satellites. Battery lifetime is a function of the number of discharge cycles (when power stored in the batteries is used) and the amount of power used during each such discharge cycle or depth of discharge, or DOD. Satellites experience a discharge cycle on nearly every orbit because they enter an eclipse period when the Earth is between the satellite and the sun, or an “Eclipse Period”. Since the constellation configuration is constant, the number of discharge cycles cannot be

altered. The battery lifetime improvements are focused primarily on reducing DOD. This was accomplished by reducing the power consumption during an Eclipse Period.
The subscriber transmitter and the battery heaters are the highest power consumption devices on the satellite and the primary devices affecting DOD. The subscriber transmitter provides the system downlink communication from the satellite to a subscriber communicator. During an Eclipse Period the radio frequency energy needed to establish a connection with a subscriber communicator is greatly reduced because radio frequency interference generated by terrestrial users within our VHF band is very low. We took advantage of this condition to implement a power saving mode which reduces the subscriber transmitter output power during an Eclipse Period, thus reducing DOD.
In order to maintain operations within the batteries’ fairly narrow temperature-operating band, heaters installed on the batteries were designed to automatically turn on when the battery temperature dropped below a specified level. We were able to reprogram the satellites to turn on the heater to pre-heat the batteries prior to an Eclipse Period when the satellite is operating under solar power and then turn off the heaters during an Eclipse Period. This allows the batteries to maintain a temperature within the operating band through the Eclipse Period without the need to use the batteries to power the heaters. The combination of reduced transmitter and heater power has significantly reduced the DOD. We believe these changes have increased our estimated satellite lifetime to nine to twelve years.
Replacement Satellites. Although these lifetime-enhancing upgrades and constellation changes have delayed the need for additional satellites, we recognize that a next-generation of satellites will be necessary for us to continue to provide our services in the future. We believe our next-generation of satellites should adhere to the following requirements: (1) backwards compatibility so that current subscriber communicators do not have to be replaced; (2) an increased individual satellite design lifetime; (3) increased satellite communications capacity; and (4) increased propulsion for multiple plane replenishment on a single launch and to meet new FCC de-orbit guidelines which call for us to remove our satellites from orbit within 25 years of such satellite’s end of life. Our current intention is to replenish our constellation in a number of phases. First, we are under contract with the United States Coast Guard to conduct a demonstration test to validate the ability to receive AIS signals from marine vessels over 300 tons using a single satellite that also satisfies full functionality with our communications system. The satellite is in the final integration and test phase with a planned launch in the third quarter of 2006. Second, we intend to conduct a “quick-launch” by the end of 2007 to replace our Plane A satellites with six satellites with slightly upgraded communication capability. Finally, we intend to launch at least 18 next-generation satellites with increased communications capabilities beginning in 2008. As a result, through a series of five launches, we intend to add at least 25 quick-launch and next-generation satellites. Flexibility in the number of satellites per launch, the number of satellites inserted into each plane and target plane will allow us to modify our plans within just a couple of months before launch. In addition, we intend to require our satellite manufacturers to include options for additional satellites that can be launched on an accelerated schedule if the market demands such an increase or if lower latencies are required or to mitigate a launch failure.
On April 21, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Orbital Sciences Corporation to supply us with the payloads for our six quick-launch satellites, with options for two additional payloads. The firm fixed price for the six payloads is $17 million, or up to a total of $21.4 million if the options for the two additional payloads are exercised, subject to price adjustments for late penalties and on-time or early delivery incentives. Orbital Sciences Corporation built our current fleet of 30 satellites and will be reusing much of the existing technology that was developed for those satellites. These new payloads will be augmented with an AIS receiver for supporting global maritime navigation objectives as well as an additional set of receivers to increase the messaging capacity of each new satellite.

We are using a competitive bid process in selecting a satellite or launch services provider, and as a result, we believe this will improve our ability to negotiate the best price for our next-generation satellites. Several manufacturers have already expressed an interest in building the next-generation satellites and are willing to perform some up-front work prior to the bidding process. In order to meet the 2007 anticipated launch date of our quick-launch satellites, we commenced the bidding process at the end of 2005, and awarded the payload contract in April 2006 and plan to award the satellite bus and launch services contracts in the third quarter of 2006. Following this award, we plan to start negotiations for the next-generation satellites and plan to award contracts in mid-to-late 2006.
GROUND/ CONTROL SEGMENT
The ground segment consists of gateways strategically located throughout the world. The role of each gateway is to provide access to the space segment and to interface with public and private data networks including the Internet. The major elements of the ground and control segment include:
  a gateway earth station, which consists of two radomes, with enclosed VHF tracking antennas, one of which is largely redundant, and associated pedestals, controllers and radio equipment, an uninterruptible power source and a back-up power generator;
 
  an associated gateway control center, which processes the data and provides the interconnection to the terrestrial communications networks; and
 
  a network control center which manages the gateway elements and monitors and controls the satellites.
The gateway earth station-to-satellite links have been designed to make use of single uplink and downlink channels for all of the satellites using a Time Division Multiple Access, or TDMA, protocol which permits gateway earth stations to communicate with satellites and providing a simple handover of a satellite from gateway earth station to gateway earth station under the centralized control of the gateway control center.
Providing services using our system in a particular region requires an appropriately located gateway earth station, unless GlobalGram operation is used by the operator of the subscriber communicator. Gateway earth stations connect to satellites above a maximum of five degrees elevation and cover a large, approximately circular footprint with a radius of approximately 3,300 miles. Command, control and monitoring of gateway earth stations is provided by the associated gateway control center. The North American gateway control center is located in Dulles, Virginia, and currently services five gateway earth stations located in New York, Arizona, Georgia, Washington and Curaçao serving the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Greenland and a portion of South America. The European gateway control center is also located in Dulles, Virginia, and currently services four gateway earth stations located in Italy, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Morocco. Additionally, we have operational gateway control centers located in Brazil, Japan and South Korea, as well as their associated gateway earth stations located in those same countries. The Brazilian gateway control center also controls the Argentine gateway earth station. We recently installed a new gateway earth station in Kazakhstan and restored a gateway earth station in Malaysia. We plan to install additional gateway earth stations in Australia, South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, India, China, Indonesia, Russia and Taiwan, subject to our obtaining, or our international licensees or country representatives obtaining, the necessary regulatory approval and financing.
The core control segment of our system is housed at the network control center in Dulles, Virginia. The control segment currently houses the gateway control centers for North America and Europe, and includes a network management system, which monitors the status of all network elements, and a space vehicle management system. The existing network control center is equipped with fault-tolerant

hardware. Standard building power is supplemented with both an uninterruptible power supply system and an automatic emergency generator. Through the network control center, operations staff has the ability to command, control and monitor all satellite assets and certain gateway earth stations through the gateway control centers we control.
We are planning to upgrade our architecture by connecting other gateway earth stations to gateway control centers located at the network control center in Dulles, Virginia. The connection of gateway earth stations in Curaçao, Morocco and Italy was completed in 2003-2004. Provisioning of subscriber communicators on the North American and European gateway control centers is currently being performed in Dulles, Virginia. In 2005, we centralized all other operations related to those gateway control centers. In addition, all future gateway earth stations are expected to be connected through and operated by gateway control centers located at the network control center in Dulles, Virginia, unless local regulations require a local gateway control center. Connecting such gateway earth stations to gateway control centers located at the network control center improves the network for the following reasons:
  Improved roaming capability for end-users. Centralized provisioning provides simplified access for end- users to all of North America, South America, North Africa and Europe.
 
  Centralized view of worldwide satellite coverage. The network control center will have a centralized view of worldwide satellite coverage in areas serviced by gateway earth stations around the globe. This will provide us with improved control of satellites and the ability to respond quickly to space anomalies.
Today, the day-to-day operation of a gateway control center requires multiple personnel to be present 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. International gateway control center staff requirements will be reduced with the realization of this centralized design plan, and consequently, our international licensees expect their operating expenditures to decrease as their staffing requirements are reduced.
Gateway Health. We believe that the functionality of the ground segment of our system remains stable and sufficient for the use of our customers. The gateway earth stations in the United States are performing well. Several infrastructure upgrades have been completed over the past few years including software supports between the gateway earth stations and the network control center, improved power conditioning and control, and improved remote monitoring.
In general, our international gateway control centers are stable. Our gateway control centers located in Brazil, Korea and Japan have all regularly exceeded 95% availability on a month-to-month basis. In addition, the majority of our international gateway earth stations are performing well. While we intend to continue to proactively provide preventative maintenance and training to the international operators of gateway earth station and gateway control center segments, we believe that our international ground segment components remains sufficient to provide a consistent level of availability and quality for the use of our customers.
SUBSCRIBER SEGMENT
The subscriber segment consists of various models of subscriber communicators, some of which are intended for general use and some of which are designed to support specific applications. The subscriber communicator models include:
  vehicle-powered subscriber communicators that accept wide input voltage ranges;
 
  subscriber communicators that have built-in application processors which allow customers to write specific applications;
 
82


Table of Contents

The ORBCOMM communications system
 
  a simple modem that has only power and serial data inputs, which are used for fixed site applications where global positioning system, or GPS, is not needed, or in applications where we are replacing an existing communications device such as cellular communications device; and
 
  full-featured devices that include application processor, multiple inputs, battery charger, GPS and weather- tight enclosure.
The subscriber communicators targeted for M2M industrial applications are designed to interface with sensors or control devices through a variety of industry-standard interfaces. In addition to supporting our own serial interface, subscriber communicators with application processors have been programmed to interface with external devices in that device’s native serial data structure, eliminating the need for an external translation device. They are usually enclosed in specialized, heavy-duty packaging enabling the units to operate even in extreme environmental conditions.
For many mobile applications, the addition of GPS functionality allows not only the tracking of assets, but the capability to add geo-fencing features into the subscriber communicator. Utilizing GPS and application programming, users can receive alerts when their remote assets are moving or when their assets have entered or exited a defined area. The subscriber communicators targeted for the messaging market incorporate interfaces such as integrated keyboards or touch-sensitive screens. Subscriber communicators used for asset tracking are usually equipped with GPS receivers, permitting the user or application to determine the subscriber communicator’s location anywhere in the world.
Our subscriber communicators have also been integrated with other communication devices to provide dual-mode solutions that are compatible with multiple cellular networks. These dual-mode solutions allow us to augment the primary communications path and ensure that remote data is transmitted on our network when the subscriber communicator is located outside the cellular network’s coverage area.
To ensure the availability of subscriber communicators having different functional capabilities in sufficient quantities to meet demand, we have provided extensive design specifications and technical and engineering support to our subscriber communicator manufacturers. We have three subscriber communicator manufacturers: Mobile Applitech, Inc., Quake Global, Inc. and our Stellar Satellite Communications, Ltd. subsidiary. Stellar’s newest model of subscriber communicators are being designed and manufactured by Delphi, a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, a tier one automotive supplier. As part of our arbitration proceeding instituted against Quake we are seeking a declaration that we have the right to terminate our subscriber communicator manufacturing agreement with Quake.
In many cases, the manufacturers are working on their third or fourth generation designs and have incorporated application specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, into their subscriber communicators. The inclusion of ASICs has reduced the cost while increasing the performance of subscriber communicators.
SYSTEM STATUS
Our satellites are distributed in multiple planes and at various inclinations to maximize geographic coverage and concentrate the service over regions with the most demanding data delivery and latency requirements. In these regions, we believe that in the majority of cases, messages will be transmitted from the subscriber communicator to a gateway earth station in less than forty-five seconds for six byte messages. Satellite coverage is provided to the entire globe, but because of the constant movement of our satellites, coverage over a given point varies depending on the position of the subscriber communicator relative to the satellites. We believe these performance results are well within acceptable parameters for the commercial use of our system by our current customers. Moreover, we expect that performance will improve as we deploy our next-generation satellites and further reduce the latency on our network.

Sending messages in near-real-time also requires that a satellite be connected to a gateway earth station at the time the message is received by the satellite from the subscriber communicator. There are currently thirteen gateway earth stations deployed around the world. Territories outside those covered by these gateway earth stations are currently served exclusively by GlobalGram service (messages are stored in the satellite until it reaches the next gateway earth station, where they are downloaded and, distributed as required by the user).
Network capacity
Although the capacity of a messaging system can be measured in a number of different ways, we believe the maximum sustainable rate of message processing, or throughput, is the most relevant measure for our business. For our system, this rate is highly dependent on the type and size of messages, as well as the geographic distribution of our customers’ subscriber communicator units and the temporal distribution of their messages. Our current system is able to support our existing global customer base and we believe that our system will be able to support any increases currently anticipated through the expected launch dates of our quick-launch and next-generation satellites. Each major component of our system is scalable, and our system upgrade and capital expenditure plans are designed to ensure that system capacity stays well ahead of anticipated customer demand.
The communication link between the subscriber communicator and the satellite is the portion of our system that most directly limits the capacity of our network. The communications protocol employs three different subscriber communicator to satellite links, one downlink and two uplinks. One uplink is used chiefly for message initiation, short messages and acknowledgements, while the second is reserved for transmitting the content of longer messages. Each satellite has six subscriber receiver channels, each of which can be configured to service either uplink type. This capability provides us with the flexibility to tune the satellites to the message volume, thereby maximizing throughput.
In response to an analysis in 2005 indicating that our message processing efficiency was sub-optimal, we are modifying system configuration mechanisms and software to improve the capacity of our communications system.
In addition, we can increase network capacity by deploying additional satellites with enhanced subscriber uplink capacity. Our current FCC license permits us to operate 18 additional satellites in addition to our existing 30-satellite constellation. Beginning in the third quarter of 2006, we intend to launch the first of our planned 25-satellite replenishment and enhancement program, including six quick-launch satellites in the end of 2007 and our next-generation satellites beginning in 2008. Each of the quick-launch satellites will have 13 subscriber receiver channels and each of the next-generation satellites will have at least 27 subscriber receiver channels, which is expected to improve the subscriber communicator-to-satellite uplink capacity and overall throughput on our network.
Finally, frequency spectrum can be a concern for some systems. However, we currently have sufficient spectrum authorized to accommodate our next-generation satellite system. Additional spectrum in our VHF band has been abandoned by our failed satellite-based competitors and may be made available for our use by the FCC.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Non-interference generally
Our system operates both in the United States and in other countries using radio frequency spectrum in the range of 137-150 MHz, along with use of a timing channel downlink at 400.1 MHz. Specific frequency band portions used within this range are allocated on a co-primary basis by the International Telecommunication Union, or the ITU, in the International Table of Frequency

Allocations or the International Table, for use by Below 1 GHz Band Low-Earth Orbit Mobile Satellite Service systems (also known as little LEO systems). Under International Table provisions, the uplink operations of little LEO systems may not interfere with or constrain the growth of certain other co-primary-allocated services operating in the same frequency bands and little LEO systems may not claim interference protection from those other co-primary services, including military push-to-talk terrestrial radios in the uplink band and meteorological satellites in the downlink bands. We believe that our Dynamic Channel Activity Assignment System, or DCAAS, which is specifically designed to avoid uplink interference to and from terrestrial, land mobile or other services allocated by the ITU on a co-primary basis, allows the system to operate in compliance with all of these non-interference restrictions, while fully meeting our service objectives. DCAAS avoids uplink interference by scanning the system’s uplink band approximately every five seconds searching for actively used channels and then assigning subscriber traffic to specific frequencies for the next five-second period based on its assessment of the least used frequencies at the time of the previous scan. Experience to date with nearly ten years of operations has validated the effectiveness of DCAAS in avoiding instances of interference resulting from our subscriber uplink transmissions, although there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not become an issue in the future.
REGULATION OF THE SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES
Initial FCC authorization
Any entity seeking to construct, launch, or operate a commercial satellite system in the United States must first be licensed by the FCC. In 1994, ORBCOMM Global L.P. was granted authority to construct, launch and operate a constellation of 36 little LEO satellites (which we refer to as the Space Segment License). In 1995, the FCC separately granted ORBCOMM Global L.P. additional licenses with initial terms of 10 years to: (1) operate four United States gateway earth stations; and (2) deploy and operate up to 200,000 subscriber communicators in the United States. The initial ten-year Space Segment License term commenced on April 11, 1995, upon submission to the FCC of certification that the first two system satellites had been successfully deployed into orbit. In May 2003 the FCC extended all space station licenses to a term of 15 years, so that the Space Segment License will expire on April 10, 2010. The Space Segment License is currently held by ORBCOMM License Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.
Subsequent system expansion and modification
In March 1998, as part of the little LEO second processing round, the FCC authorized an expansion of our system from 36 to 48 satellites. The FCC also authorized us to use additional downlink frequencies and approved certain other system orbit modifications, subject to certain conditions. Subsequently, the FCC approved additional modifications to the orbital configuration of the system to facilitate improved coverage and system performance. In January 2006, we filed an application with the FCC to increase the number of subscriber communicators in the United States covered by the blanket license from 200,000 to 1,000,000. We anticipate that the FCC will act on our modification request in June 2006; however, there can be no assurance that the modification will be granted on a timely basis or at all. As we launch our next-generation satellites, we may seek to continue operating our existing first-generation satellites to the extent they are still able to provide functionality. This may require us to seek FCC authorization for short-term experimental licenses or special temporary authority to continue to operate these first-generation satellites if we exceed our currently authorized 48 satellite limit.
Our Coast Guard demonstration satellite, scheduled for launch in the third quarter of 2006, carries a standard ORBCOMM payload in addition to the AIS receiver for the U.S. Coast Guard. Our current FCC license permits the operation of replacement satellites that are “technically identical” to those

already licensed, and because the addition of AIS receive capability does not materially change the satellite’s transmission capabilities, we believe that our existing license grants us authorization to operate this satellite. As a precautionary measure, in March 2006 we also submitted an application to the FCC for authorization to operate the Coast Guard demonstration satellite under an experimental license, although there is no assurance that the FCC will grant the requested authorization. We expect the FCC to act on this application by the end of June 2006.
FCC license conditions
We believe that our system is currently in full compliance with all applicable FCC rules, policies, and license conditions. Although we did not construct and launch the additional twelve satellites authorized in the second processing round by the March 2004 deadline, we timely filed for a three-year extension of the deadline. However, there can be no assurance the FCC will grant the extension, in which case we would need to re-apply for authority to expand our satellite constellation above the originally-authorized 36 satellites. We believe that we will continue to be able to comply with all applicable FCC requirements, although we cannot assure you that it will be the case. Our next-generation satellites will have additional capabilities, and the transmission characteristics will differ from our current satellites. These new satellites may also operate on additional frequency ranges beyond those authorized in our current license. The use of additional frequencies and/or transmission differences of the next-generation satellites would render them not “technically identical” to our current satellites. As a result, a license modification will be required for our next-generation satellites and may be required for our quick-launch satellites. In the past, we have applied for, and have been granted, several license modifications and do not have any reason to believe that the FCC will deny such a modification application in the future. There is no assurance, however, that the FCC will grant any future modification applications.
Access in the United States to certain portions of the uplink and downlink spectrum assigned to our system was made subject to possible future spectrum sharing arrangements with as many as four other little LEO systems that the FCC conditionally authorized in March 1998. Actual implementation of any of these frequency sharing arrangements is governed by, among other things, successful completion of frequency coordination with our system by these other entities, and the timely deployment of operational satellites by one or more of these other license holders, in accordance with their conditional FCC licenses. None of these other four little LEO license holders ever constructed their satellite systems, and the licenses for each of these other systems have been surrendered to the FCC or revoked by the FCC. While other entities could seek to be licensed in the little LEO service by the FCC, to our knowledge no new applications have been submitted to date. If any one or more new entities are licensed and do in fact proceed with system deployment in accordance with the previously established FCC requirements, we believe that there would be no material adverse effect on our system operations, although we cannot assure you it will be the case.
Non-common carrier status
All of our system’s FCC licenses authorize service provision on a “non-common carrier” basis. As a result, the system and the services provided thereby have been subject to limited FCC regulations, but not the obligations, restrictions and reporting requirements applicable to common carriers or to providers of Commercial Mobile Radio Services, or CMRS. There can be no assurance, however, that in the future, we will not be deemed by the FCC to provide services that are designated common carrier or CMRS, or that the FCC will not exercise its discretionary authority to apply its common carrier or CMRS rules and regulations to us or our system.

License transfer and renewal
In May 2002, following receipt of the requisite FCC consent, we acquired the FCC licenses necessary to own and operate our system from an affiliate of ORBCOMM Global L.P. In early 2004, we sought approval from the FCC for a transfer of control in connection with our Series A preferred stock financing described under “Certain relationships and related party transactions— Series A Preferred Stock Financing”. The FCC approved the transfer of control in December 2004, and transfer occurred shortly thereafter.
The initial term of the Space Segment License ends on April 10, 2010. The FCC’s little LEO space segment license renewal rules require a renewal application to be filed three years prior to its expiration. The initial terms of the licenses for the United States gateway earth stations and subscriber communicators expired on May 17, 2005 and June 12, 2005, respectively and we timely filed for renewal of those licenses. The FCC granted renewals for the five gateway earth station licenses and the blanket subscriber communicator license on April 28, 2005 for a fifteen-year term. Although the FCC has indicated that it is positively disposed towards granting license renewals to existing little LEO licensees that comply with its little LEO licensing policies, there can be no assurance that our satellite system license renewal will be granted in the future. In addition, in January 2006, we filed an application with the FCC to increase the number of subscriber communicators in the United States covered by the blanket license from 200,000 to 1,000,000. We anticipate that the FCC will act on our modification request by June 2006; however, there can be no assurance that the modification will be granted on a timely basis or at all.
United States import and export control regulations
We are subject to U.S. import and export control laws and regulations, specifically the Arms Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and the trade sanctions laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. We believe that we have obtained all the specific authorizations currently needed to operate our business and believe that the terms of the relevant licenses are sufficient given the scope and duration of the activities to which they pertain.
REGULATION OF OUR SYSTEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES
Communications services
We, the relevant international licensee and/or the relevant international licensee’s country representative in each country outside the United States must obtain the requisite local regulatory authorization before the commencement of service in that country. The process for obtaining the applicable regulatory authorization varies from country to country, and in some instances may require technical studies or actual experimental field tests under the direction and/or supervision of the local regulatory authority. Failure to obtain or maintain any requisite authorizations in any given country or territory could mean that services may not be provided in that country or territory.
Certain countries continue to require that some or all telecommunications services be provided by a government-owned or controlled entity. Therefore, under such circumstances, we may be required to offer our services through a government-owned or controlled entity.
To date the provision of services has been authorized by regulators in jurisdictions where regulatory authority is required in over 75 countries and territories in North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. As part of our international initiative, we are in the process of seeking or assessing the prospect of obtaining regulatory authority in other countries and territories, including China, India, Mexico and Russia. Because our satellites are licensed by the FCC, the scope of the local regulatory
 
87


Table of Contents

The ORBCOMM communications system
 
authority in any given country or territory outside of the United States (with the exception of countries where gateway earth stations are located) is generally limited to the operation of subscriber communicator equipment, but may also involve additional restrictions or conditions. Based on available information, we believe that the regulatory authorizations obtained by us, our international licensees and/or their country representatives are sufficient for the provision of commercial services in the subject countries and territories, subject to continuing regulatory compliance. We also believe that additional local service provision authorizations may be obtained in other countries and territories in the near future.
Non-U.S. gateway earth stations
To date, in addition to those in the United States, gateway earth stations have been authorized and deployed in Argentina, Brazil, Curaçao, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco and South Korea. Gateway earth stations are generally licensed on an individual facility basis. This process normally entails radio frequency coordination within the country of operation for the specific frequencies to be used in the designated geographic location of the subject gateway earth station. This domestic frequency coordination is in addition to any international coordination that may be required, as determined by the proximity of the gateway earth station location to foreign borders (see “—International Regulation of Our System— International frequency coordination and notification”). Based on the best available information, we believe that each of the above-listed gateway earth stations authorizations is sufficient for the provision of our commercial services in the areas served by the relevant facilities. We will need additional gateway earth station authorizations in other countries as we install additional gateway earth stations around the world.
Equipment standards
Each manufacturer of the applicable subscriber communicator is contractually responsible to obtain and maintain the governmental authorizations necessary to operate their subscriber communicators in each jurisdiction. Most countries generally require all radio transmission equipment used within their borders to comply with operating standards that may include specifications relating to required minimum acceptable levels for radiated power, power density and spurious emissions into adjacent frequency bands not allocated for the intended use. Technical criteria established by telecommunications equipment standards issued by the FCC and/or the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, or ETSI, are generally accepted, and/or closely duplicated by domestic equipment approval regulations in most countries. All current models of subscriber communicators comply with established FCC standards and many comply with ETSI standards.
INTERNATIONAL REGULATION OF OUR SYSTEM
International frequency coordination and notification
Our use of certain orbital planes and related system radio frequency assignments, as licensed by the FCC, is subject to the frequency coordination and registration process of the ITU. In order to protect satellite systems from harmful radio frequency interference from other satellite communications systems, the ITU maintains a Master International Frequency Register, or MIFR, of radio frequency assignments and their associated orbital locations. Each ITU member state (referred to as an administration) is required by treaty to give notice of, coordinate and register its proposed use of radio frequency assignments and associated orbital locations with the ITU’s Radiocommunication Bureau.
The FCC serves as the notifying administration for the United States and is responsible for filing and coordinating our allocated radio frequency assignments and associated orbital locations for the system with both the ITU’s Radiocommunication Bureau and the national administrations of other countries
 
88

The ORBCOMM communications system
 
in each satellite’s service region. While the FCC, as our notifying administration, is responsible for coordinating the system, in practice the satellite licensee is generally responsible for identifying any potential interference concerns with existing systems or those enjoying date priority and to coordinate with such systems. If we are unable to reach agreement and finalize coordination, the FCC would then assist with such coordination.
When the coordination process is completed, the ITU formally enters each satellite system’s orbital and frequency use characteristics in the MIFR. Such registration notifies all proposed users of frequencies that the registered satellite system is protected from interference from subsequent or non-conforming uses by other nations. In the event disputes arise during coordination, the ITU’s radio regulations do not contain mandatory dispute resolution or enforcement mechanisms and dispute resolution procedures are based on the willingness of the parties concerned to reach a mutually acceptable agreement voluntarily. Neither the ITU specifically, nor international law generally, provides clear remedies if this voluntary process fails.
The FCC has notified the ITU that our system was initially placed in service in April 1995 and that it has operated without any substantiated complaints of interference since that time. The FCC has also informed the ITU that our system has successfully completed its coordination with all countries other than Russia. We expect that we will successfully complete the ITU coordination process with Russia in the near future, at which time the complete system will be formally registered in the MIFR.
If design modifications to future system satellites entail substantial changes to the frequency utilization by the subject system component(s), additional international coordination may be required or reasonably deemed advisable. However, we believe that ITU coordination can be successfully completed in all circumstances where such coordination is required, although we cannot assure you that we will successfully complete such ITU coordination. Failure to complete requisite ITU coordination could have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless, to date, and to our best knowledge, the system has not caused harmful interference to any other radio system, or suffered harmful interference from any other radio system.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our board of directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. We currently have an audit committee and compensation committee, composed of three members each, which meet informally as directed by our board of directors. Neither our audit committee nor our compensation committee has authority to act on its own, serving primarily in an advisory role to our board of directors on certain matters, subject to the entire board taking action. Pursuant to our bylaws, two seats on each of the committees are filled by directors elected by holders of our preferred stock. The third member of each committee is a director elected by holders of our common stock. Robert Gold, Leslie Golden and Timothy Kelleher are currently serving as members of our audit committee. Leslie Golden, Timothy Kelleher and Peter Schiff are currently serving as members of our compensation committee. MH Investors Satellite LLC has the right to appoint a fourth member of each committee, but has to date not exercised this right.
Our board of directors currently intends to reconstitute the audit and compensation committees and establish a nominating and corporate governance committee. The functions of each of these three committees are described below.
Audit Committee. The audit committee will, among other things:
  review and oversee the integrity of our financial statements and internal controls;
 
  review the qualifications of and, select and recommend to the board of directors the selection of, our independent public accountants, subject to the approval of our stockholders, and review and approve their fees;
 
  review and oversee the adequacy of our accounting and financial reporting processes, including our system of internal controls and disclosure controls, and recommendations of the independent accountants with respect to our systems; and
 
  review and oversee our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
                         ,                          and                          will serve as members of our audit committee. Each of the proposed members of our audit committee meets the independence and financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq, the SEC and applicable law. All proposed members of our audit committee are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. The board of directors has determined that                          is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC rules.                          will serve as chair of our audit committee.
Compensation Committee. The compensation committee will, among other things:
  review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of these goals and objectives and determine and approve the level of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation;

  determine the base and incentive compensation of senior executives other than the Chief Executive Officer and determine the terms of the employment of senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer;
 
  review, administer, monitor and recommend to the board of directors all executive compensation plans and programs, including incentive compensation and equity-based plans; and
 
  evaluate and make recommendations regarding the compensation of non-employee directors and administration of non-employee director compensation plans or programs.
                         ,                          and                          will serve as members of our compensation committee. Each of the proposed members of our compensation committee meets the independence requirement of Nasdaq and applicable law.                          will serve as chair of our compensation committee.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will, among other things:
  review and recommend to the board of directors the size and composition of the board, the qualification and independence of the directors and the recruitment and selection of individuals to serve as directors;
 
  review and recommend to the board of directors the organization and operation of the board of directors, including the nature, size and composition of committees of the board, the designation of committee chairs, the designation of a Chairman of the Board or similar position, and the distribution of information to the board and its committees;
 
  coordinate an annual self-assessment by the board of its operations and performance and the operations and performance of the committees and prepare an assessment of the board’s performance for discussion with the board;
 
  in coordination with the compensation committee, evaluate the performance of the chief executive officer in light of corporate goals and objectives; and
 
  oversee our corporate governance policies, practices and programs.
                         ,                          and                          will serve as members of our nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the proposed members will meet the independence requirement of Nasdaq and applicable law.                          will serve as chair of our nominating and corporate governance committee.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
We do not expect that any of our executive officers will serve as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity (other than one of our subsidiaries) with an executive officer who serves on our board of directors or our compensation committee.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the individuals serving on the board of directors who were not our employees did not receive any compensation so long as they were affiliated with, or had a financial interest in, us.
After consummation of this offering, we intend to pay each of our non-employee directors an annual retainer of $            as fees related to their service on our board of directors and an additional annual retainer of $            for each committee on which they serve as a member. Any non-employee director who serves as chair of a committee of the board will receive an additional annual retainer of $            .

2004 Stock option plan
The ORBCOMM Inc. 2004 stock option plan was adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders on February 17, 2004. The plan permits grants to be made from time to time as incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options.
Share Reserve. A total of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock has been reserved for issuance under the 2004 stock option plan. Following a qualified initial public offering, options to purchase no more than 50,000 shares may be issued to any individual participant in any calendar year. The shares issuable under the plan will consist of shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, including shares repurchased by us in the open market. Appropriate adjustments will be made to the number or kind of shares or securities subject to the 2004 stock option plan and available for or covered by the grants and share prices related to outstanding grants in the event of an acquisition, spin-off or reclassification, recapitalization or merger, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate exchange, change of control or similar event, or as required under any option agreement.
Administration. The 2004 stock option plan is administered by our compensation committee, or the board of directors, if there is no compensation committee. Our committee has the power and authority to administer, construe and interpret the plan, to make rules for carrying it out and to make changes to such rules. In order to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the rules under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, all grants under the 2004 stock option plan will be made following our initial public offering by a committee made up of members who are both “outside directors” as defined for purposes of Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder and “nonemployee directors” as defined for purposes of Section 16.
Grant of Awards. The option plan permits the grant of incentive stock options to employees of ours or any subsidiary of ours and non-statutory stock options to directors, employees, independent contractors, and other persons having a unique relationship with us or any of our affiliates. The committee determines the option exercise price, the option price and such other conditions and restrictions on the grant or exercise of the option as the committee deems appropriate. The terms,
 
99


Table of Contents

Management
 
conditions and limitations of each grant under the plan are set forth in an option agreement in a form which is approved by the committee.
Stock Options. The board of directors or compensation committee shall set the per share exercise price, subject to the following rules:
  an incentive stock option may not have an exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted;
 
  if the aggregate fair market value of a share subject to incentive stock option which is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the portion of the incentive stock option in excess of the $100,000 limitation will be treated as a non-statutory stock option; and
 
  for any person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or any subsidiary corporation of ours then the: (i) exercise price of the option may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted, and (ii) such option may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the option is granted.
Limitations and Conditions. An option granted under the plan may not be exercised more than 10 years after the date it is granted. Payment of the option exercise price must be in cash, or if subsequent to our initial public offering, in shares of our common stock that have been held for at least six months or any combination of cash and shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of the plan, the option agreement and any applicable guidelines of the compensation committee. Participants do not have any of the rights or privileges of, equityholders of ours in respect of any shares of common stock which may be purchased upon exercise of any grant unless and until certificates representing any such shares have been issued by us to such participants. Prior to our initial public offering, each participant is required to enter into a stockholder agreement with the Company, in a form provided by us, upon the exercise of any option under the plan.
Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The committee may amend, suspend or terminate the 2004 stock option plan and may amend any terms and conditions applicable to outstanding grants as are consistent with the Plan. However, no such action shall be allowed which would increase the aggregate number of shares available for grants under the plan, change the eligible class of individuals, decrease the price of outstanding options, change the requirements relating to the board of directors or compensation committee or extend the term of the plan if stockholder approval is required under the law; or modify a grant in a manner adverse to the participant without the participants consent except as such modification is provided for or contemplated in the terms of the grant.
Change of Control. The committee may, in its absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide, either by the terms of such option or by a resolution adopted prior to the occurrence of the change of control, that such option will be exercisable as to all or any portion of the shares subject thereto.
Repurchase Rights. Under the terms of the current forms of the option agreements, we have the right to repurchase the shares acquired upon the exercise of options for a period of three months after the participant ceases to be director, an employee or an independent contractor or other person with a unique relationship to us or any of our affiliates, whichever applies, or three months after the shares for which the option is exercise are acquired, whichever is later. The purchase price per share payable is as follows:
  if the participant is terminated by us for cause, the amount equal to the lesser of: (A) the fair market value of the shares at the time of the termination of employment; and (B) the exercise price;
 
100


Table of Contents

Management
 
  if the participant voluntarily terminates employment and such termination occurs prior to the expiration of the holding period for the shares acquired through the exercise of the option, the amount equal to the lesser of: (A) the fair market value of the shares at the time of the termination of employment; and (B) the exercise price;
 
  if the participant voluntarily terminates employment and such termination occurs after the expiration of the holding period for the shares acquired through the exercise of the option, the amount equal to the greater of: (A) the fair market value of the shares at the time of the termination of employment; and (B) the exercise price; and
 
  if the participant’s employment ceases for any other reason (i.e., death, termination without cause or because the participant is disabled) the amount equal to the greater of: (A) the fair market value of the shares at the time of the termination of employment; and (B) the exercise price.
Transferability. Under the terms of the current forms of the option agreements, awards under the 2004 stock option plan generally may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and only the participant may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.
2006 Long-term incentives plan
Prior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will adopt, and our stockholders are expected to approve, our 2006 long-term incentives 2006 plan, or the 2006 LTIP. The 2006 LTIP replaces in its entirety our 2006 stock option plan, which will be terminated, and authorizes the delivery of a maximum of 6,962,061 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment and the other restrictions described below under “—Shares Available”). The 2006 LTIP permits our Compensation Committee to grant awards from time to time as stock options (which may be incentive stock options eligible for special tax treatment or non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights (which may be in conjunction with or separate and apart from a grant of stock options), stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares. Any of these types of awards (except stock options or stock appreciation rights, which are deemed to be performance based) may be granted as performance compensation awards intended to qualify as performance based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
Purpose; Eligibility. The purpose of the 2006 LTIP is to promote the interests of our company and our stockholders by providing incentive compensation opportunities to assist in:
  attracting, motivating and retaining employees and non-employee directors; and
 
  aligning the interests of our employees and non-employee directors who participate in the 2006 LTIP with the interests of our stockholders.
The 2006 LTIP will remain in effect until all awards under the 2006 LTIP have been exercised or terminated under the terms of the 2006 LTIP and applicable award agreements, provided that awards under the 2006 LTIP may be granted only within ten years from the 2006 LTIP’s effective date.
Stock Options. A stock option is an option to purchase a specific number of shares of our common stock exercisable at such time or times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Compensation Committee may determine consistent with the terms of the 2006 LTIP, including the following:
  The exercise price of an option will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted;
 
  No option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date the option is granted;
 
101


Table of Contents

Management
 
  The exercise price of an option will be paid in cash or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in shares of our common stock or in a combination of cash and our common stock; and
 
  No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued or accepted.
Incentive stock options, which are options that comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, are subject to the following additional provisions:
  The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of the shares of our common stock subject to incentive stock options that are exercisable by one person for the first time during a particular calendar year may not exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Code (currently $100,000); provided, however, that if the limitation is exceeded, the incentive stock options in excess of such limitation will be treated as non-qualified stock options;
 
  No incentive stock option may be granted under the 2006 LTIP more than ten years after the effective date of the 2006 LTIP; and
 
  No incentive stock option may be granted to any employee who on the date of grant is not our employee or an employee of one of our subsidiaries within the meaning of Code Section 424(f).
Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right, or SAR, is the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of a specified number of shares of our common stock from the date of grant of the SAR to the date on which the participant exercises the SAR. Under the 2006 LTIP, SARs may be (1) freestanding SARs or (2) tandem SARs granted in conjunction with an option, either at the time of grant of the option or at a later date, and exercisable at the participant’s election instead of all or any part of the related option. The payment to which a participant is entitled on exercise of a SAR may be in cash, shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise or a combination of cash and shares our common stock, as the Compensation Committee may determine.
Stock. Shares of common stock may be issued to participants without any restrictions on transfer or other vesting requirements.
Restricted Stock. Shares of restricted stock are shares of our common stock that are issued to a participant subject to restrictions on transfer and such other restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Compensation Committee may determine, which restrictions will lapse at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, including but not limited to the achievement of one or more specific goals with respect to our performance, the performance of a business unit (which may but need not be a subsidiary) or the performance of the participant over a specified period of time as the Compensation Committee may determine. Subject to the specified restrictions, the participant as owner of the shares of restricted stock will have the rights of the holder thereof, except that the Compensation Committee may provide at the time of the award that any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the shares of restricted stock while subject to the restrictions will be accumulated, with or without interest, or reinvested in our common stock and held subject to the same restrictions as the restricted stock and such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee shall determine.
Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock units is an award of a contractual right to receive at a specified future date an amount based on the fair market value of one share of our common stock, subject to such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may establish. Restricted stock units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions will be settled in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and our common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may provide for the accumulation of
 
102


Table of Contents

Management
 
dividend equivalents in cash, with or without interest, or the reinvestment of dividend equivalents in our common stock held subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock unit and such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine. No participant who holds restricted stock units will have any ownership interest in the shares of common stock to which such restricted stock units relate until and unless payment with respect to such restricted stock units is actually made in shares of common stock.
Performance Units. A performance unit is an award denominated in cash, the amount of which may be based on the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to our performance, the performance of a business unit (which may but need not be a subsidiary) or the performance of a participant to whom the performance units are granted. The annual amount that may be paid to any one participant with respect to performance units will not exceed $15 million per year. The payout of performance units may be in cash, shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the payout date (or at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, the day immediately preceding that date), or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, as the Compensation Committee may determine.
Performance Shares. A performance share is an award denominated in shares of our common stock, the amount of which may be based on the achievement, over a specified period of time, of one or more specific goals with respect to our performance, the performance of a business unit (which may but need not be a subsidiary) or the performance of a participant to whom the performance shares are granted. The payout of performance shares may be in cash based on the fair market value of our common stock on the payout date (or at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, the day immediately preceding that date), shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, as the Compensation Committee may determine.
Performance Compensation Awards. The Compensation Committee may designate any award (other than an option or SAR) at the time of its grant as a performance compensation award so that the award will constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), provided that no performance compensation award may be granted to our leased employees or leased employees of our subsidiaries. With respect to each performance compensation award, the Compensation Committee will establish, in writing, a performance period, performance measure(s), performance goal(s) and performance formula(s) within 90 days after the beginning of the performance period. Once established for a performance period or such other period as may be required by Code Section 162(m), such items may not be amended or otherwise modified if and to the extent such amendment or modification would cause the compensation payable pursuant to the award to fail to constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m).
Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Each of our non-employee directors may be granted from time to time an award with terms and conditions, including restrictions, as determined by our board of directors or by the Compensation Committee.
At such times as it may determine, our board of directors may change (1) the form of any award to our non-employee directors provided for in the 2006 LTIP to any other type of award set forth in the 2006 LTIP and (2) the size and the vesting period of any such award.
Deferrals. The Compensation Committee may require or permit 2006 LTIP participants to defer the issuance or vesting of shares of our common stock or the settlement of awards under rules and procedures it may establish under the 2006 LTIP. The Compensation Committee may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment of, or crediting of interest on, the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents on deferred settlements in shares of our common stock. No deferral will be permitted if it will result in the 2006 LTIP becoming subject to the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA. Any deferral will either be exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A.
Other Code Section 409A Provisions. The award agreement for each award will set forth such terms and conditions as are necessary to (a) satisfy the requirements for exemption under Code Section 409A or (b) satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Administration. The 2006 LTIP and all awards under the 2006 LTIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will have full and complete authority, in its sole and absolute discretion:
  to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the 2006 LTIP;
 
  to construe, interpret and implement the 2006 LTIP and any related document;
 
  to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the 2006 LTIP;
 
  to make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the 2006 LTIP; and
 
  to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the 2006 LTIP.
Any member of the Compensation Committee who, at the time of any proposed grant of one or more awards, is not both an “outside director” as defined for purposes of Code Section 162(m) and a non-employee director as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) under the Exchange Act will abstain from and take no part in the Compensation Committee’s action on the proposed grant.
It is our intent that the 2006 LTIP and awards under the 2006 LTIP satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfy, (1) in the case of participants who are or may be our executive officers or non-employee directors, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, so that such persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3, or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subjected to avoidable liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; (2) in the case of performance compensation awards to covered employees, as defined in the Code, the applicable requirements of Code Section 162(m); and (3) either the requirements for exemption under Code Section 409A or the requirements for compliance with Code Section 409A.
The Compensation Committee may delegate, and revoke the delegation of, all or any portion of its authority and powers under the 2006 LTIP to our Chief Executive Officer, except that the Compensation Committee may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer or non-employee directors or substantive decisions or functions regarding the 2006 LTIP or awards to the extent they are inconsistent with the intent expressed in the previous paragraph or to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Shares Available. Subject to adjustment in the event of any change in or affecting shares of our common stock, including but not limited to stock dividends, stock splits and reorganizations, the number of shares of our common stock which may be delivered upon exercise of options or upon grant or in payment of other awards under the 2006 LTIP will not exceed 6,962,061, which number includes 269,939 shares of our common stock remaining available for grants of awards under our 2004 stock option plan as of March 31, 2006.
Subject to the adjustment provisions discussed below under “—Adjustment Provisions”, no single 2006 LTIP participant will receive annual awards of more than one million stock options (measured by the number of shares of common stock underlying such stock options), SARS (measured by the number of shares of common stock underlying such SARS), shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or any combination thereof under the 2006 LTIP.

Award Agreements. Each award under the 2006 LTIP will be evidenced by an award agreement between us and the participant setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to the award, including but not limited to:
  provisions for the time at which the award becomes exercisable or otherwise vests;
 
  provisions for the treatment of the award in the event of the termination of a participant’s status as an employee;
 
  any special provisions applicable in the event of an occurrence of a change of control of our company, as determined by the Compensation Committee consistent with the provisions of the 2006 LTIP; and
 
  such additional provisions as are required to make the award exempt from or comply with the Code.
Rights as an Employee or Non-Employee Director. Nothing contained in the 2006 LTIP or in any award agreement confers upon any employee, non-employee director or participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of our company or any of our subsidiaries or constitutes any contract or limits in any way our right or the rights of our subsidiaries to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment or other service of such person with or without cause. If Code Section 409A applies to an award, Code Section 409A’s definition of “separation of service” will apply to determine when a participant becomes entitled to payment upon termination of employment.
Rights as a Stockholder. A 2006 LTIP participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of common stock covered by an award until the date the participant becomes a holder of record of such shares. Except as described below under “—Adjustment Provisions”, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights, unless the award agreement specifically requires such adjustment.
Adjustment Provisions. In the event of any change in or affecting the outstanding shares of our common stock by reason of a stock dividend or split, merger or consolidation (whether or not we are the surviving corporation), recapitalization, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate changes or an extraordinary dividend in cash, securities or other property, our board of directors will make such amendments to the 2006 LTIP and outstanding awards and award agreements and make such adjustments and take actions thereunder as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, under the circumstances. These amendments, adjustments and actions may include, but are not limited to, changes in the number of shares of our common stock then remaining subject to the 2006 LTIP, and the maximum number of shares that may be granted or delivered to any single participant pursuant to the 2006 LTIP, including those that are then covered by outstanding awards, or accelerating the vesting of outstanding awards. In addition, to the extent that any outstanding awards under our 2004 stock option plan as of March 31, 2006 are cancelled, forfeited or otherwise lapse unexercised pursuant to the terms of that plan, the shares underlying those awards shall be available for awards under the 2006 LTIP.
Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the 2006 LTIP, in whole or in part, except that, without the approval of our stockholders, no such action will (1) increase the number of shares of our common stock available for awards (except as described above under “—Adjustment Provisions”) or (2) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the 2006 LTIP or otherwise make any material revision to the 2006 LTIP, or otherwise be effective to the extent that such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the 2006 LTIP, including applicable requirements of Nasdaq, and,

Management
 
except as described above under “—Adjustment Provisions”, no such action may impair the rights of any holder of an award without the holder’s consent.
The Compensation Committee may at any time alter or amend any or all award agreements to the extent permitted by the 2006 LTIP and applicable law, provided that except as described above under “—Adjustment Provisions”, no such alteration or amendment may impair the rights of any holder of an award without the holder’s consent.
Neither our board of directors nor the Compensation Committee may, except as described above under “—Adjustment Provisions”, amend the 2006 LTIP or any award agreement to reprice any option or SAR whose exercise price is above the then fair market value of our common stock subject to the award, whether by decreasing the exercise price, canceling the award and granting a substitute award, or otherwise.
Change of Control. The Compensation Committee may determine at the time an award is granted that upon a change of control of our company, any or all of the following may occur: outstanding stock options and SARs may become vested and exercisable; restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock units may lapse; performance goals may be deemed met and other terms and conditions may be deemed met; performance shares may be delivered; performance units and restricted stock units may be paid out as promptly as practicable; and other awards may be delivered or paid.
Initial Grants. It is anticipated that 1,617,560 restricted stock units, or RSUs, will be granted under the 2006 LTIP to employees of the Company (including approximately 1,022,000 RSUs to be granted to our named executive officers, Messrs. J. Eisenberg, Brady, M. Eisenberg, Stolte and Hume) prior to the completion of this offering. The RSUs may be granted as time vesting RSUs or as performance vesting RSUs.
For each of the employees receiving time vesting RSUs, one-third of the RSU grants will vest on each of January 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009. For certain executive officers who receive performance vesting RSUs, these RSUs will vest upon satisfaction of certain performance targets beginning in 2006.
Retirement plan
We maintain a retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers all our employees schedules to work 1,000 hours in a consecutive 12-month period, beginning on the date of employment. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation (subject to an annual limit prescribed by the Code) as pretax, salary deferral contributions. We may, in our discretion, match up to 100% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 4% of the employee’s eligible compensation. We did not make any contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Certain relationships and related party transactions
ORBCOMM EUROPE
We have entered into a service license agreement covering 43 jurisdictions in Europe and a gateway services agreement with ORBCOMM Europe LLC, a company in which we indirectly own a 25.5% interest. The service license agreement and the gateway services agreement with ORBCOMM Europe contain terms and conditions substantially similar to the service license agreements and the gateway services agreements we have and expect to enter into with other licensees. ORBCOMM Europe is owned 50% by Satcom International Group Plc. (“Satcom”) and 50% by OHB Technology A.G. (“OHB”). We own a 51% interest in Satcom. Subsequent to the acquisition of our 51% interest in Satcom, Satcom and ORBCOMM Europe are consolidated affiliates in our consolidated financial statements.
(FLOW CHART)
OHB is a substantial stockholder and a direct investor of ours and its Chief Executive Officer is on our board of directors. In addition, Satcom has been appointed by ORBCOMM Europe as a country representative for the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland. ORBCOMM Deutschland and Technikom Polska, affiliates of OHB, have been appointed by ORBCOMM Europe as country representatives for Germany and Poland, respectively. OHB is also a 34% stockholder of Elta S.A. the country representative for France. These entities hold the relevant regulatory authority and authorization in each of these jurisdictions. In addition, ORBCOMM Europe and Satcom have entered into an agreement obligating ORBCOMM Europe to enter into a country representative agreement for Turkey with Satcom, if the current country representative agreement for Turkey expires or is terminated for any reason.
In connection with the organization of ORBCOMM Europe and the reorganization of our business in Europe, we agreed to grant ORBCOMM Europe approximately $3.7 million in air time credits. The amount of the grant was equal to the amount owed by ORBCOMM Global L.P. to the European Company for Mobile Communications Services N.V. (“MCS”), the former licensee for Europe of ORBCOMM Global L.P. ORBCOMM Europe, in turn, agreed to issue credits in the aggregate amount of the credits received from us to MCS and its country representatives who were stockholders of MCS. Satcom, as a country representative for the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland, received airtime credits in the amount of $580,200. ORBCOMM Deutschland, as country representative for Germany, received airtime credits of $449,800. Because approximately $2.7 million of the airtime credits were granted to stockholders of MCS who are not related to us and who continue to be country representatives in Europe, we believe that granting of the airtime credits was essential to permit ORBCOMM Europe to reorganize the ORBCOMM business in Europe. The airtime credits have no

expiration date. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $2.9 million of the credit granted by us to ORBCOMM Europe remained unused. As of December 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Europe owed us approximately $421,200 in service fees.
On December 19, 2005, we entered into a gateway earth station purchase agreement and an installation services agreement with ORBCOMM Europe. On February 3, 2006, these agreements were amended to include the purchase price of $415,000 for the gateway earth station and an installation fee of $305,000 plus a site selection service fee of $30,000. These agreements contain terms and conditions substantially similar to the gateway earth station purchase agreements and installation service agreements we have and expect to enter into with other licensees.
We and certain other parties are currently engaged in negotiations concerning a possible reorganization of ORBCOMM Europe intended to provide ORBCOMM Europe with adequate capital to fund growth and streamline the distribution channel to reduce prices to end-users. See “—Satcom International Group Plc.”
SATCOM INTERNATIONAL GROUP PLC.
Satcom is our 51%-owned consolidated subsidiary which (i) owns 50% of ORBCOMM Europe, (ii) has entered into country representative agreements with ORBCOMM Europe, covering the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland, and (iii) has entered into a service license agreement with us, covering substantially all of the countries of the Middle East and a significant number of countries of Central Asia, and a gateway services agreement with us. In addition, Orbcomm Europe and Satcom have entered into an agreement obligating ORBCOMM Europe to enter into a country representative agreement for Turkey with Satcom, if the current country representative agreement for Turkey expires or is terminated for any reason. We believe that the service license agreement and the gateway services agreement between us and Satcom contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those which we have and expect to enter into with other unaffiliated licensees. As of December 31, 2005, Satcom owed us unpaid services fees of approximately $68,000.
We acquired our 51% interest in Satcom from Jerome Eisenberg, our Chief Executive Officer, and Don Franco, a former officer of ours, who immediately prior to the October 2005 reorganization of Satcom, together owned directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding voting shares of Satcom and held a substantial portion of the outstanding debt of Satcom. On October 7, 2005, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into between us and Messrs. J. Eisenberg and D. Franco in February 2004, we acquired all of their interests in Satcom in exchange for (1) an aggregate of 620,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock and (2) a contingent cash payment in the event of our sale or initial public offering. The contribution agreement was entered into in connection with our February 2004 reorganization in order to eliminate any potential conflict of interest between us and Messrs. J. Eisenberg and D. Franco, in their capacities as officers of ours. The contingent payment would equal $2 million, $3 million or $6 million in the event the proceeds from our sale or the valuation in our initial public offering exceeds $250 million, $300 million or $500 million, respectively, subject to proration for amounts that fall in between these thresholds. Immediately prior to, and as a condition to the closing of, the Satcom acquisition, Satcom and certain of its stockholders and noteholders, consummated a reorganization transaction whereby 95% of the outstanding principal of demand notes, convertible notes and certain contract debt was converted into equity, and accrued and unpaid interest on such demand and convertible notes was acknowledged to have been previously released. This reorganization included the conversion into equity of the demand notes and convertible notes of Satcom held by Messrs. J. Eisenberg and D. Franco in the principal amounts of approximately $50,000 and $6,250,800, respectively, and the release of any other debts of Satcom owed to them.

As of December 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Europe had a note payable to Satcom in the amount of 1,466,920 ($1,736,926). This note has the same payment terms as the note payable from ORBCOMM Europe to OHB Technology A.G. described below under “—OHB Technology A.G.” and carries a zero interest rate. For accounting purposes, this note has been eliminated in the consolidation of ORBCOMM Europe and Satcom with Orbcomm Inc. We own 51% of Satcom, which in turn owns 50% of ORBCOMM Europe.
We have provided Satcom with a $1.0 million line of credit for working capital purposes pursuant to a revolving note dated as of December 30, 2005. The revolving loan bears interest at 8% per annum, matures on December 30, 2006, and is secured by all of Satcom’s assets, including its membership interest in ORBCOMM Europe LLC. As of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, Satcom had no amounts and $465,000 outstanding, respectively, outstanding under this line of credit.
OHB TECHNOLOGY A.G.
On May 21, 2002, we entered into an IVAR agreement with OHB Technology A.G. (formerly known as OHB Teledata A.G.) (“OHB Technology”) whereby OHB Technology has been granted non-exclusive rights to resell our services for applications developed by OHB Technology for the monitoring and tracking of mobile tanks and containers. As of December 31, 2005, OHB Technology did not owe us any unpaid service fees.
In an unrelated transaction, on March 10, 2005, we entered into an ORBCOMM concept demonstration satellite bus, integration test and launch services procurement agreement with OHB System A.G. (an affiliate of OHB Technology), whereby OHB System A.G. will provide us with overall concept demonstration satellite design, bus module and payload module structure manufacture, payload and bus modual integration, assembled satellite environmental tests, launch services and on-orbit testing of the bus module for the Coast Guard Concept Validation Project.
OHB Technology owns 1,182,100, 1,844,314 and 997,270 shares of our common stock, Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, respectively, and warrants to purchase 129,813 shares of our common stock representing approximately 8.98% of our total voting power on a fully diluted basis. OHB has the right to appoint a representative to our board of directors. Currently, Marco Fuchs is OHB Technology’s representative on our board of directors. In addition, SES Global and OHB Technology jointly have the right to appoint a representative to our board of directors. Currently, Robert Bednarek is SES Global’s and OHB Technology’s joint representative on our board of directors.
In connection with the acquisition of an interest in Satcom (see “—Satcom International Group Plc.” above), we recorded an indebtedness to OHB Technology arising from a note payable from ORBCOMM Europe to OHB Technology. At December 31, 2005 the principal balance of the note payable is 1,138,410 ($1,347,937) and it has a carrying value of $594,000. This note does not bear interest and has no fixed repayment term. Repayment will be made from the distribution profits (as defined in the note agreement) of ORBCOMM Europe. The note has been classified as long-term and we do not expect any repayments to be required prior to December 31, 2007.
ORBCOMM ASIA LIMITED
On May 8, 2001, we signed a memorandum of understanding with ORBCOMM Asia Limited (“OAL”) outlining the parties’ intention to enter into a definitive service license agreement on terms satisfactory to us covering Australia, China, India, New Zealand, Taiwan and Thailand. Although the parties commenced negotiations toward such an agreement, a definitive agreement was never concluded and the letter of intent terminated by its terms. We believe OAL is approximately 90% owned by Gene Hyung-Jin Song, a stockholder of ours who owns 201,087, 61,909 and 248 shares of our common stock, Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, respectively, and warrants to

purchase 37,755 shares of our common stock, representing in the aggregate less than 1% of our total voting power on a fully diluted basis. OAL owns 1,179,882 shares of our common stock, representing 2.91% of our total voting power on a fully diluted basis. It is currently our intention to consider operating service licenses and/or country representative agreements for these territories on a country by country basis as prospective parties demonstrate the ability, from a financial, technical and operations point of view, to execute a viable business plan. During 2003, 2004 and 2005, OAL owed us amounts for costs related to the storage in Virginia of gateway earth stations owned by OAL. On September 14, 2003, OAL pledged certain assets to us to ensure OAL’s debt to us would be paid (“Pledge Agreement”). On August 29, 2005, we foreclosed on a warehouseman’s lien against OAL and took possession of three of the four gateway earth stations being stored by OAL in Virginia in satisfaction of the outstanding amounts owed to us by OAL. We continue to store the remaining gateway earth station owned by OAL in Virginia and as of December 31, 2005, OAL owed us approximately $9,000 related to this storage. In addition, we and OAL have an on-going dispute that is subject to arbitration. See “Business— Legal Proceedings”.
ORBCOMM JAPAN LIMITED
To ensure that regulatory authorizations held by ORBCOMM Japan Limited (“OJ”) in Japan were not jeopardized at the time we purchased the assets from ORBCOMM Global L.P., and with the understanding that a new service license agreement would be entered into between the parties, we assumed the service license agreement entered into between ORBCOMM Global L.P. and OJ. We and OJ undertook extensive negotiations for a new service license agreement from early 2002 until 2004 but were unable to reach agreement on important terms. We believe Mr. Gene Hyung-Jin Song is the beneficial owner of approximately 38% of OJ. On September 14, 2003, OAL pledged certain assets to us pursuant to a Pledge Agreement to ensure that certain amounts owed by OJ to us under the existing service license agreements would be paid. On January 4, 2005, we sent a notice of default to OJ for its failure to remain current with payments under the service license agreement and subsequently terminated the agreement when the default was not cured. On March 31, 2005, OJ made a partial payment of the amount due of $350,000. In 2005, we agreed to a standstill (the “Standstill Agreement”) under the Pledge Agreement (including as to OAL and Korea ORBCOMM Limited (“KO”)) and conditional reinstatement of the prior service license agreement, subject to our receiving payment in full of all debts owed by OJ, KO and OAL to us by December 15, 2005 and certain operational changes designed to give us more control over the Japanese and Korean gateway earth stations. The outstanding amounts owed by OJ to us were not repaid as of December 15, 2005 and as of December 31, 2005, OJ owed us approximately $385,000 in unpaid service fees. On February 22, 2006, we sent a notice of default to OJ for its failure to satisfy its obligations under the Standstill Agreement including its failure to make the required payments under the service license agreement and if the defaults are not cured in the near future, we intend to terminate the agreement as a result of such default.
In an unrelated transaction, as of March 31, 2002, we forgave a promissory note originally issued by OJ to ORBCOMM Global L.P. in the principal amount of $250,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which we had acquired from ORBCOMM Global L.P.
KOREA ORBCOMM LIMITED
To ensure that regulatory authorizations held by KO in South Korea were not jeopardized at the time ORBCOMM LLC purchased the assets from the ORBCOMM Global L.P., and with the understanding that a new service license agreement would be entered into between the parties, we assumed the service license agreement entered into between ORBCOMM Global L.P. and KO. We and KO undertook extensive negotiations for a new service license agreement from early 2002 until 2004 but were unable

to reach agreement on important terms. We believe Mr. Gene Hyung-Jin Song is the beneficial owner of approximately 33% of KO. On September 14, 2003, OAL pledged certain assets to us to ensure that certain amounts owed to us by KO under the existing service license agreement would be paid. On January 4, 2005, we sent a notice of default to KO for its failure to remain current with payments under the service license agreement and subsequently terminated the agreement when the default was not cured. In 2005, we agreed to a standstill with respect to the default by KO as part of the Standstill Agreement and conditional reinstatement of the prior service license agreement. The outstanding amounts owed by KO to us were not repaid as of December 15, 2005 and as of December 31, 2005, KO owed us approximately $149,000 in unpaid service fees. On April 5, 2006, we sent a notice of default to KO for its failure to comply with the Standstill Agreement and if the defaults are not cured by the date specified, the service license agreement will be automatically terminated as a result of KO’s failure to cure such defaults within the specified cure period.
SISTRON INTERNATIONAL LLC
In connection with the Series A preferred stock financing discussed below under “—Series A Preferred Stock Financing”, Messrs. Franco and Eisenberg sold all of their interest in Sistron International LLC, a reseller that had developed an application for the electric utility industry, to us for a purchase price equal to their cash investment in Sistron of approximately $0.4 million, paid in 127,414 shares of Series A preferred stock issued at the same purchase price per share as paid by investors in the Series A preferred stock financing.
SES GLOBAL S.A.
On February 17, 2004, we entered into an IVAR Agreement with SES Global S.A. (“SES”) whereby SES has been granted exclusive rights during the initial term of the agreement to resell our services for return channel applications developed by SES for the Direct-to-Home TV market. As of December 31, 2005, SES did not owe us any unpaid service fees. SES owns SES Global Participation S.A. (“SES Global”), the holder of 3,000,001 shares of our Series A preferred stock representing approximately 7.39% of our total voting power. In addition, SES Global and OHB Technology jointly have the right to appoint a representative to our board of directors. Currently, Robert Bednarek is SES Global’s and OHB Technology’s representative on our board of directors.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING
On February 17, 2004, we completed a private placement of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock at a purchase price of $2.84 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $17.9 million, to SES Global, Ridgewood Satellite LLC, OHB Technology, Sagamore Hill Hub Fund Ltd., Northwood Ventures LLC and Northwood Capital Partners LLC, including conversion of the note issued to Ridgewood Satellite LLC. In connection with the private placement, the corporate structure of ORBCOMM LLC was reorganized such that ORBCOMM LLC became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former members of ORBCOMM LLC became our stockholders and holders of warrants to purchase membership interest units of ORBCOMM LLC became our warrant holders. The outstanding convertible debt of ORBCOMM LLC was either converted into our equity upon the closing of the private placement or repaid following the closing of the private placement at their stated maturity dates. All of the outstanding convertible debt of ORBCOMM LLC was converted into Series A preferred stock, except for approximately $3.3 million in outstanding principal amount that was repaid. On August 13, 2004, we completed a follow-on sale of Series A preferred stock in the amount of approximately $11.5 million to existing holders of Series A preferred stock.
At the time of the issuances, each share of our Series A preferred stock was entitled to a cash dividend of 12% per year, compounded annually. Such dividends accrued and were cumulative from the date of

issuance whether or not declared on the liquidation preference thereof. In addition, the holders of Series A preferred stock were entitled to a liquidation preference plus accumulated or otherwise declared but unpaid dividends. As a result of the Series B preferred stock financing described below under “—Series B Preferred Stock Financing”, we paid all accumulated dividends on the Series A preferred stock on January 6, 2006 and our Series A preferred stock is no longer entitled to any dividends or a liquidation preference. Each share of our Series A preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into one share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. Additionally, our Series A preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of our common stock upon the same events as would require conversion of our Series B preferred stock as described below under “—Series B Preferred Stock Financing” at the Series A preferred stock conversion price of $2.84, subject to adjustment for dilution and other events. The shares of our Series A preferred stock are entitled to weighted average antidilution protection upon the issuance of additional shares of stock at a price below the Series A preferred stock conversion price. Subject to the redemption of all shares of Series B preferred stock and payment in full of the Series B redemption price having been made to the holders of the Series B preferred stock (or funds necessary for such payment having been set aside by us in trust for the account of such holders) with respect to each share of Series B preferred stock, if applicable, shares of Series A preferred stock shall be redeemed at a price equal to $2.84 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalization and similar events), plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon upon written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series A preferred stock from the holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock; provided that any such written notice shall not be effective unless delivered on or after the later of (1) February 16, 2010, (2) the date on which there is no longer any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding or (3) the date of the redemption of the Series B preferred stock. The holders of the Series A preferred stock have certain rights, including the option to elect a majority of the board of directors, in the event we do not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem the Series A preferred stock upon receiving such notice. The holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which the Series A preferred stock can be converted. The holders of the Series A preferred stock and the Series B preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect six members of our board of directors (out of a ten member board).
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING
In November and December 2005 and January 2006, we completed private placements in the amount of approximately $72.5 million, consisting of 10% convertible promissory notes due February 16, 2010, warrants to purchase our common stock, and our Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock to PCG Satellite Investments, LLC (an affiliate of the Pacific Corporate Group), MH Investors Satellites LLC (an affiliate of MH Equity Investors), Torch Hill Capital and several existing investors, including Ridgewood Capital, OHB Technology, Northwood Ventures and several members of senior management, and certain other private equity investors. The convertible notes purchased automatically converted on December 30, 2005 into shares of Series B preferred stock at a conversion price of $4.03 per share, and as a result of such conversion, the warrants were cancelled. In connection with this private placement, we granted to the Series B preferred stock holders certain registration and stockholder rights. In addition, certain specified corporate actions by us require the affirmative vote of the majority holders of the Series B preferred stock, which for as long as PCG Satellite Investments, LLC, CALPERS/PCG Corporate Partners, LLC and their affiliates, (the “PCG Entities”) hold a minimum threshold of the Series B preferred stock, is defined to be the PCG Entities. The holders of the Series A preferred stock and the Series B preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect six members of our board of directors (out of a ten member board).
The Series B preferred stock has full ratchet anti-dilution protection pursuant to which the Series B preferred stock conversion price shall be adjusted downwards to equal the price at which any dilutive

securities are issued. The holders of the Series A preferred stock and the Series B preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect six members of our board of directors (out of a ten member board), subject to upward adjustment in the event we do not hold funds sufficient to satisfy our obligations to redeem the Series B preferred stock after October 31, 2011. Certain Series B preferred stock investors are obligated to purchase an additional 10.3 million shares of Series B preferred stock on or prior to March 1, 2007 (subject to certain exceptions) at the same $4.03 per share price paid in the 2005 financing unless there has been a qualified sale or IPO under the terms of the purchase agreement.
The holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive cash dividends of 12% per share per annum, based on their imputed original issue price, compounded annually, which shall be payable in full upon liquidation, redemption or any conversion of the Series B preferred stock into common stock. In addition, the holders of the Series B preferred stock have a liquidation preference equal to $4.03 per outstanding share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalization and similar events with respect to such shares) plus all declared and/or accumulated but unpaid dividends. Shares of Series B preferred stock (other than shares held by holders who exercise certain opt-out rights, if such opt-out rights apply) shall be redeemed at a price equal to $4.03 per share, plus all declared and/or accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, after receipt of a redemption notice, on or after October 31, 2011, from the PCG Entities for as long as the PCG Entities hold a minimum threshold of Series B preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance, into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to account for certain dilutive issuances, among other events.
Each share of Series B preferred stock will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the Series B preferred stock conversion price of $4.03 per share, subject to adjustment for dilution and other events, immediately upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public offering with gross cash proceeds (prior to the deduction of any fees and expenses incurred in such transaction) to us of not less than $75,000,000, at certain specified price per share thresholds if the public offering occurs on or before certain specified dates, (ii) the closing of a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, or a stock sale, merger or consolidation with any other corporation or entity, or any transaction or series of related transaction (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger, consolidation) that results in a change of control in which the proceeds per share received by holders of the Series B preferred stock are comparable to the proceeds from a public offering set forth above; or (iii) the vote or written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Series B preferred stock.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
On December 30, 2005, and in connection with the Series B preferred stock financing described above, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with the Series B preferred stock investors and existing holders of our Series A preferred stock and common stock who were parties to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated February 17, 2004.
Beginning any time after the first to occur of eighteen months after December 30, 2005 and six months after an initial public offering of our common stock or, after the fifth anniversary of this agreement, certain holders of Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock will have the right to demand, at any time or from time to time, that we file up to two registration statements registering the common stock. Only holders of (i) at least two-thirds of the registrable securities (generally our common stock and common stock issued upon conversion of our preferred stock and warrants) outstanding as of the date of the our initial public offering, (ii) at least 35% of the registrable securities outstanding as of the date of the

demand or (iii) a specified number of holders of our Series B preferred stock may request a demand registration.
In addition, certain holders will be entitled to an additional demand registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all registrable securities, provided that we will not be required to effect more than one such demand registration statement on Form S-3 in any twelve month period or to effect any such demand registration statement on Form S-3 if any such demand registration statement on Form S-3 will result in an offering price to the public of less than $20 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after we qualify to register our common stock on Form S-3, Sagamore Hill Hub Fund Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, “Sagamore”) and the PCG Entities will have separate rights to additional demand registrations that would be eligible for registration on Form S-3; provided, that we will not be required to effect more than one such demand registration requested by Sagamore or the PCG Entities, as the case may be, on Form S-3 in any twelve month period and that Sagamore or the PCG Entities, as the case may be, will pay the expenses of such registration if such registration shall result in an aggregate offering price to the public of less than $1 million.
Certain investors also have piggyback registration rights as specified in our Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, and we are seeking a waiver of such piggyback registration rights with respect to this offering.
INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers in their capacity as directors of certain of our subsidiaries. Each indemnification agreement provides that we will, subject to certain exceptions, indemnify the indemnified person in respect of any and all expenses incurred as a result of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings involving the indemnified person and relating to the indemnified person’s service as an executive officer or director of ours. We will also indemnify the indemnified person to the fullest extent as may be provided under the non-exclusivity provisions of our bylaws and Delaware law. The indemnification period lasts for as long as the indemnified person is an executive officer or director of ours and continues if the indemnified person is subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitration, administrative or investigative, by reason of fact that the indemnified person was serving in such capacity. Upon request, we must advance all expenses incurred by the indemnified person in connection with any proceeding, provided the indemnified person undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined ultimately that the indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under any provision of the indemnification agreement, our bylaws, Delaware law or otherwise.

Principal stockholders
The following table shows information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2006, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock being offered by us in this offering, and conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock by:
  each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to own beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding common stock;
 
  each of our directors;
 
  each of our named executive officers; and
 
  all of our directors and officers as a group.
Percentage ownership before the offering is based on 40,609,978 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2006, as adjusted for the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock subject to the assumptions set forth below. Percentage ownership after the offering is based on            shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this offering. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by footnote and subject to community property laws where applicable, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are exercisable as of March 31, 2006, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

Description of capital stock
In this section, “we”, “us” and “our” refer only to Orbcomm Inc. and not its subsidiaries. The following is a description of the material terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended bylaws as each is anticipated to be in effect upon the consummation of this offering. This description is subject to the detailed provisions of, and is qualified by reference to, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended bylaws, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
GENERAL
We are currently authorized to issue 150 million shares consisting of 105 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 15 million shares of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 30 million of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2006, we had 8,535,026 shares of our common stock outstanding held by 22 holders of record, 14,053,611 shares of our Series A preferred stock held by 70 holders of record and 18,021,341 shares of our Series B preferred stock held by 46 holders of record.
We will be authorized to issue (1)                      shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (2)                      shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Immediately following the completion of this offering, there are expected to be                      shares of our common stock outstanding (or                      shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase up to                     additional shares to cover our allotments in full) and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The authorized shares of our common stock and preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. If the approval of our stockholders is not required, our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder approval.
Certain of the provisions described under this section entitled “Description of capital stock” could discourage transactions that might lead to a change of control of our company. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended bylaws:
  will establish a classified board of directors, whereby our directors are elected for staggered terms in office so that only one-third of our directors stand for election in any one year;
 
  will require stockholders to provide advance notice of any stockholder nominations of directors or any proposal of new business to be considered at any meeting of stockholders;
 
  will require a supermajority vote to remove a director or to amend or repeal certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended bylaws; and
 
  will preclude stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders.
COMMON STOCK
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will permit us to issue up to                      shares of our common stock.
Dividends. Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Dividends may not be paid on common stock unless all accrued dividends on preferred stock, if any, have been paid or set aside. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share pro rata in the assets remaining after payment to creditors and after payment of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends to holders of any outstanding preferred stock. See “Dividend policy”.

Description of capital stock
 
Voting. Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each such share outstanding in the holder’s name. No holder of common stock will be entitled to cumulate votes in voting for directors.
Other Rights. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, no holder of shares of common stock will have any right to purchase or subscribe for any stock of any class that we may issue or sell.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation permits us to issue up to                 shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and with rights and preferences that may be fixed or designated by our board of directors without any further action by our stockholders. The powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock of any other series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to such series, which will specify the terms of the preferred stock, including:
  the maximum number of shares in the series and the distinctive designation;
 
  the terms on which dividends, if any, will be paid;
 
  the terms on which the shares may be redeemed, if at all;
 
  the terms of any retirement or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of the shares of the series;
 
  the liquidation preference, if any;
 
  the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares of the series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of capital stock;
 
  the restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series; and
 
  the voting rights, if any, of the shares of the series.
Although our board of directors has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND AMENDED BYLAWS
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended bylaws will contain various provisions intended to (1) promote the stability of our stockholder base and (2) render more difficult certain unsolicited or hostile attempts to take us over, which could disrupt us, divert the attention of our directors, officers and employees and adversely affect the independence and integrity of our business.
Classified Board of Directors. Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended bylaws the number of directors will be fixed by our board of directors. Other than directors elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock or any other series or class of stock except common stock, our directors are divided into three classes. Each class consists as nearly as possible of one third of the directors. Directors elected by stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders will be elected by a plurality of all votes cast. The terms of office of the three classes of director will expire, respectively, at our annual meetings in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The term of the successors of each such class of directors will expire three years from the year of election.
Removal of directors; Vacancies. Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, directors serving on a classified board of directors may be removed by the stockholders only for cause. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
 
120


Table of Contents

Description of capital stock
 
provide that directors may be removed only for cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of      % of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that any vacancy created by removal of a director shall be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors even though such majority may be less than a quorum.
Special Meetings; Written Consent. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended bylaws will provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire board of directors. Stockholders are not permitted to call, or to require that the board of directors call, a special meeting of stockholders. Moreover, the business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the business brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of the meeting given by us. In addition, our amended and restated certificate will provide that any action taken by our stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent instead of a meeting. Our amended bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before meetings of our stockholders.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the affirmative vote of at least      % of the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, would be required to amend or repeal the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to:
  the election of directors;
 
  the right to call a special meeting of stockholders;
 
  the right to act by written consent;
 
  amending our restated certificate of incorporation or amended bylaws; or
 
  the right to adopt any provision inconsistent with the preceding provisions.
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our board of directors may make, alter, amend and repeal our amended bylaws and that the amendment or repeal by stockholders of any of our amended bylaws would require the affirmative vote of at least      % of the voting power described above, voting together as a single class.
Delaware Takeover Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any “business combination” (as defined below) with any “interested stockholder” (as defined below) for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3 % of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines “business combination” to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Shares eligible for future sale
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and a significant public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock, including shares of our outstanding common stock and shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market after this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
SALE OF RESTRICTED SHARES AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding                      shares of common stock based upon our shares outstanding as of                     , 2006.
Of these shares, the                      shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, unless purchased by affiliates of ours, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The remaining                      shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in private transactions, and are eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with Rule 144, 144(k) or 701 of the Securities Act. However,                     of these remaining shares of common stock are held by officers, directors, and existing stockholders who are subject to lock-up agreements for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to extension under certain circumstances, under which all holders of our common stock have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock.
The underwriters, in their sole discretion, may release the shares subject to the lock-up agreements in whole or in part at anytime with or without notice. We have been advised by the underwriters that, when determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the underwriters will consider, among other factors, the stockholder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time. The underwriters have advised us that they have no present intention to release any of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.
As of the date of this prospectus, up to                     of the remaining shares may be eligible for sale in the public market. Beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus,                     of these remaining shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, although all but                      shares will be subject to certain volume limitations under Rule 144.
RULE 144
In general, Rule 144 allows a stockholder (or stockholders where shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year and who files a Form 144 with the SEC to sell within any three month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus a number of those shares that does not exceed the greater of:
  1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately                      shares immediately after this offering; or
 
  the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the Form 144 with respect to such sale.
Sales under Rule 144, however, are subject to specific manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and the availability of current public information about our company. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock our existing stockholders will sell under Rule 144, as this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the stockholders, and other factors.

Shares eligible for future sale
 
RULE 144(K)
Under Rule 144(k), in general, a stockholder who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least two years and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the immediately preceding 90 days may sell shares without complying with the manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, public information requirements, or volume limitations of Rule 144. Affiliates of ours, however, must always sell pursuant to Rule 144, even after the otherwise applicable Rule 144(k) holding periods have been satisfied.
RULE 701
Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our common stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of ours to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701.
As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of our outstanding common stock had been issued in reliance on Rule 701 as a result of exercises of stock options.
OPTIONS
In addition to the            shares of common stock outstanding immediately after this offering, as of December 31, 2005, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,192,561 shares of our common stock. As soon as practicable after the closing of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our 2004 stock option plan and 2006 LTIP. Accordingly, shares of our common stock registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market upon exercise by the holders, subject to vesting restrictions with us, contractual lock-up restrictions, and/or market stand-off provisions applicable to each option agreement that prohibit the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock underlying the options for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to extension under certain circumstances, without the prior written consent from us or our underwriters.

Material U.S. federal income tax considerations for non-U.S. holders
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock. For purposes of this description, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our common stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not:
  an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
  a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;
 
  an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
  a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entity holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner or owner of such partnership or other pass-through entity will generally depend on the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the partnership or pass-through entity. Such a partnership or pass-through entity, or partner or owner of such a partnership or pass-through entity, should consult its tax advisor as to its tax consequences.
This description addresses only the U.S. federal income tax considerations of holders that are initial purchasers of our common stock pursuant to the offering and that will hold our common stock as capital and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a particular non-U.S. Holder’s special tax status or situation. In particular, this description does not address tax considerations applicable to holders that are U.S. persons, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, tax-exempt entities, U.S. expatriates, partnerships or other pass-through entities, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, persons that will hold our stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; or holders that own or are deemed to own 10% or more, by voting power or value, of our stock. This discussion does not address any tax consequences that arise under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. Moreover, except as set forth below, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift or alternative minimum tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock.
This description is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, existing, proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.
You should consult your own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common stock.
DIVIDENDS
Distributions on our common stock will constitute dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a distribution

Material U.S. federal income tax considerations for non-U.S. holders
 
exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the Non-U.S. Holder’s investment to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain.
We currently do not intend to pay dividends with respect to our common stock. However, if we were to pay dividends with respect to our common stock, generally, but subject to the discussions below under “—Status as United States Real Property Holding Corporation” and “—Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements”, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder, dividends of cash or property paid to you will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable United States income tax treaty. In order to obtain the benefit of any applicable United States income tax treaty, you will have to file certain forms (e.g., Form W-8BEN or an acceptable substitute form). Such forms generally would contain your name and address and a certification that you are eligible for the benefits of such treaty.
This United States withholding tax generally will not apply to dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States, and, if a treaty applies, attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder. Dividends effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business, as well as those attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder under an applicable treaty, are subject to United States federal income tax generally in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person, as defined under the Code. Certain IRS certification and disclosure requirements must be complied with (e.g., the provision of a Form W-8ECI or an acceptable substitute form) in order for effectively connected income to be exempt from withholding. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
SALE, EXCHANGE OR OTHER TAXABLE DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Generally, but subject to the discussions below under “—Status as United States Real Property Holding Corporation” and “—Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements”, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment or (2) if you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other conditions are met. If you are a corporate non-U.S. Holder, “effectively connected” gains that you recognize may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.
STATUS AS UNITED STATES REAL PROPERTY HOLDING CORPORATION
If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, under certain circumstances, gain recognized on the sale or exchange of, and certain distributions in excess of basis with respect to, our common stock would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, notwithstanding your lack of other connections with the United States, if we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of such sale or exchange (or distribution). We believe that we will not be classified as a United States real property holding corporation as of the date of this offering and do not expect to become a United States real property holding corporation. However, the determination of whether we are a United States real property holding corporation is fact-specific and depends on the composition of our assets. We cannot assure you that we will not in future become a United States real property holding corporation.

Material U.S. federal income tax considerations for non-U.S. holders
 
FEDERAL ESTATE TAX
Our common stock held by an individual at death, regardless of whether such individual is a citizen, resident or domiciliary of the United States, will be included in the individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, subject to an applicable estate tax or other treaty, and therefore may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX AND INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.
The United States imposes a backup withholding tax on dividends and certain other types of payments to United States persons (currently at a rate of 28%) of the gross amount. Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding if proper certification of foreign status (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN) is provided, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person, or the holder is a corporation or one of several types of entities and organizations that qualify for exemption, also referred to as an exempt recipient.
Information reporting and backup withholding generally are not required with respect to the amount of any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of common stock by a Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States through a foreign office of a foreign broker that does not have certain specified connections to the United States. However, if a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of shares of common stock through the U.S. office of a United States or foreign broker, the broker will be required to report the amount of proceeds paid to such holder to the IRS and to apply the backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 28%) to the amount of such proceeds unless appropriate certification (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN) is provided to the broker of the holder’s status as either an exempt recipient or a non-U.S. person, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person. Information reporting also applies if a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of its shares of common stock through the foreign office of a broker deriving more than a specified percentage of its income from United States sources or having certain other connections to the United States and the foreign broker does not have certain documentary evidence in its files of the Non-U.S. Holder’s foreign status.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation.

Underwriting
We are offering the shares of our common stock described in this prospectus through the underwriters named below. UBS Securities LLC is the representative of the underwriters and the sole book-running manager of this offering. We and the selling stockholders have entered into an underwriting agreement with the representative. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, each of the underwriters has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table.
           
Underwriter   Number of Shares

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters must buy all of the shares if they buy any of them. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below.
Our common stock is offered subject to a number of conditions, including:
  receipt and acceptance of our common stock by the underwriters; and
 
  the underwriters’ right to reject orders in whole or in part.
We have been advised by the representative that the underwriters intend to make a market in our common stock, but that they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue making a market at any time without notice.
In connection with this offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses electronically.
OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
We have granted to the underwriters an option to buy up to an aggregate of           additional shares of our common stock. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option. If the underwriters exercise this option, they will each purchase additional shares approximately in proportion to the amounts specified in the table above.
COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS
Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $           per share from the initial public offering price. Any of these securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $           per share from the initial public offering price. If all the shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters. Upon execution of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase the shares at the prices and upon the terms stated therein, and, as a result, will thereafter bear any risk associated with changing the offering price to the public or other selling terms. The representative of the underwriters has informed us that it does not expect to sell more than an aggregate of            shares of common stock to accounts over which such representative exercises discretionary authority.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions we and the selling stockholders will pay to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional            shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering payable by us, not including the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $                million.
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we have agreed to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
NO SALES OF SIMILAR SECURITIES
We, our executive officers and directors and certain of our existing stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters. Under these agreements, subject to certain exceptions, we and each of these persons may not, without the prior written approval of the representative, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or hedge our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock, or warrants or other rights to purchase our common stock. These restrictions will be in effect for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. At any time and without public notice, the representative may, in its sole discretion, release all or some of the securities from these lock-up agreements.
NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET QUOTATION
We will apply to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “ORBC”.
PRICE STABILIZATION, SHORT POSITIONS
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock, including:
  stabilizing transactions;
 
  short sales;
 
  purchases to cover positions created by short sales;
 
  imposition of penalty bids; and
 
  syndicate covering transactions.
Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock while this offering is in progress. These transactions may also include making short sales of our common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering and purchasing shares of common stock in the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered short sales”, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ over-allotment option referred to above, or may be “naked short sales”, which are short positions in excess of that amount.
The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination,
 
129


Table of Contents

Underwriting
 
the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.
Naked short sales are sales in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchased in this offering.
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
As a result of these activities, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price of our common stock will be determined by negotiation by us and the representative of the underwriters. The principal factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price include:
  the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representative;
 
  our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
 
  our past and present financial performance and an assessment of our management;
 
  our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;
 
  the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
 
  the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and
 
  other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us.
AFFILIATIONS
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past and may in the future provide from time to time certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they will be entitled to receive separate fees. UBS Securities LLC arranged the private placement of a portion of the convertible notes and Series B preferred stock in December 2005, for which it received customary fees. Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of Banc of America Securities LLC, provides us with commercial banking services.

Legal matters
The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Chadbourne & Parke LLP, New York, New York, and for the underwriters by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, New York, New York.

Experts
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and for the years then ended included in this prospectus, and the related financial statement schedule included in the prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein and are included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
Our consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report, which includes an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, of J.H. Cohn LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure
On July 12, 2005, we dismissed J.H. Cohn LLP as our principal accountants and engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, as our independent auditors. The decision to change independent auditors was recommended by our Audit Committee and approved by our board of directors. We did not consult with Deloitte & Touche regarding any matters prior to its engagement.
From 2001 through July 12, 2005, there were no disagreements with J.H. Cohn LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of J.H. Cohn LLP, would have caused J.H. Cohn LLP to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their opinion on our consolidated financial statements for such years, except that the reports on the our financial statements for the period from April 23, 2001 inception to December 31, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 contained separate paragraphs emphasizing that “the Company has incurred losses and its operating activities have used cash on a recurring basis which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern”.
In addition, on April 13, 2005, J.H. Cohn LLP provided our Audit Committee with a letter citing what J.H. Cohn LLP asserted are “material weaknesses” over certain matters involving internal control. In particular, J.H. Cohn LLP noted the following material weaknesses: insufficient formalized procedures to ensure that all relevant documents relating to accounting transactions were made available to our accounting department; lack of communication on a timely basis from upper management to our accounting department on significant and/or complex transactions; and several instances of transactions that were not properly recorded in the general ledger, leading to a significant number of recorded audit adjustments.
In response to the letter, we have engaged a national consulting firm with respect to the development of appropriate internal controls and have begun to hire key senior accounting and finance employees to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to augment our accounting and finance functions. We have discussed our corrective actions and future plans with our Audit Committee and we believe that the actions outlined above, once fully implemented, will correct any deficiencies in internal controls that are considered to be a material weakness.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ORBCOMM Inc.
Fort Lee, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ORBCOMM Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in membership interests and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the 2005 and 2004 information included in the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at page F-1. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the 2005 and 2004 information included in the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2003, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses and its operating activities have used cash on a recurring basis. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements referred to above do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1. Organization and Business
ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a satellite-based data communication company that operates a two-way global wireless data messaging system optimized for narrowband data communication. The Company provides these services through a constellation of 30 owned and operated in-Earth orbit satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure through which small, low power, fixed or mobile subscriber communicators (“Communicators”) can be connected to other public or private networks, including the Internet (collectively, the “ORBCOMM System”). The ORBCOMM System is designed to enable businesses and government agencies to track, monitor, control and communicate with fixed and mobile assets located nearly anywhere in the world.
The Company was formed in October 2003. On February 17, 2004, the members of ORBCOMM LLC contributed all of their outstanding membership interests to the Company in exchange for 8,486,901 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, ORBCOMM LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (such transaction, in combination with the issuances of preferred stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement discussed below, is referred to as the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company by ORBCOMM LLC and a related issuance of Series A preferred stock. Accordingly, the historical consolidated financial statements of ORBCOMM LLC became the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. ORBCOMM LLC, formerly a majority-owned subsidiary of ORBCOMM Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), was organized as a limited liability company in Delaware on April 4, 2001. On April 23, 2001, ORBCOMM LLC acquired substantially all of the non-cash assets and assumed certain liabilities of ORBCOMM Global L.P. and its subsidiaries (the “Predecessor Company”), which had filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on September 15, 2000. The Predecessor Company was a limited partnership formed by Orbital Communications Corporation, a subsidiary of Orbital Sciences Corporation, and Teleglobe Mobile Partners, a subsidiary of Teleglobe Holdings Corporation.
The Reorganization included the closing of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) among ORBCOMM, ORBCOMM LLC and certain investors pursuant to which the following occurred:
  ORBCOMM issued 5,392,606 shares of Series A convertible redeemable voting preferred stock (“Series A preferred stock”) to new investors at a price of $2.84 per share, and received gross proceeds totaling $15,315.
 
  Certain note holders of ORBCOMM LLC entered into agreements to contribute the principal balances and accrued interest of their notes, totaling $10,967, to ORBCOMM in exchange for 3,861,703 shares of Series A preferred stock at a price of $2.84 per share.
 
  Holders of warrants to purchase 2,736,997 membership interest units of ORBCOMM LLC, representing all of the issued and outstanding warrants of ORBCOMM LLC, entered into agreements to contribute such warrants to ORBCOMM in exchange for warrants, with substantially the same terms and conditions, to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock of ORBCOMM at the same exercise price. The warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.55 per share to $2.84 per share and expire starting November 2007 through February 2009.
 
  In August 2004, ORBCOMM issued an additional 4,051,888 shares of Series A preferred stock to new and existing investors at $2.84 per share, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and

received gross proceeds of $11,507. In connection with the sales of the Series A preferred stock in February and August 2004, ORBCOMM incurred aggregate issuance costs of $2,595.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2005, the Company had net working capital of $65,285. Through December 31, 2005, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $48,632 and management believes that losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company’s long-term viability is dependent upon its ability to raise additional funding or achieve positive cash flows from operations. Until and unless the Company’s operations generate significant revenues and cash flows, the Company will continue to attempt to fund operations from cash on hand, through the issuance of notes and through the issuance of preferred or common stock.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For periods before January 1, 2004, the accompanying consolidated financial statements included the accounts of ORBCOMM LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (See Note 1). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the Company had no equity in the earnings or losses of those investees for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Non-controlling interests in companies are accounted for by the cost method where the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee. The Company’s cost basis investments had no carrying value as of December 31, 2004 and 2005.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting periods, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the allowances for doubtful accounts, the useful lives and impairment of the Company’s satellite network and other equipment, the fair value of acquired assets, the fair value of securities underlying stock-based compensation and the realization of deferred tax assets.

Revenue recognition
Product revenues are derived from sales of Communicators and other equipment, such as gateway earth stations and gateway control centers, to customers. The Company derives service revenues from its resellers (i.e., its value added resellers (“VARs”), international value added resellers (“IVARs”), international licensees and country representatives) and direct customers from utilization of Communicators on the ORBCOMM System. These service revenues consist of a one-time activation fee for each Communicator activated for use and monthly usage fees. Usage fees charged to customers are based upon the number, size and frequency of data transmitted by a customer and the overall number of Communicators activated by each customer. Usage fees charged to the Company’s VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives are charged primarily based on the overall number of Communicators activated by the VAR, IVAR, international licensee or country representative and the total amount of data transmitted by their customers. For one licensee customer, the Company charges usage fees as a percentage of the licensee’s revenues. The Company also earns revenues from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers, and from license fees and royalties relating to the manufacture of Communicators by third parties under certain manufacturing agreements.
Revenues generated from the sale of Communicators and other products are either recognized when the products are shipped or when customers accept the products, depending on the specific contractual terms. Sales of Communicators and other products are not subject to return and title and risk of loss pass to the customer at the time of shipment. Sales of Communicators are primarily to VARs and IVARs are not bundled with services arrangements. Revenues from sales of gateway earth stations and related products are recognized upon customer acceptance. Revenues from the activation of Communicators are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are, thereafter, recognized ratably over the term of the agreement with the customer, generally three years. Revenues generated from monthly usage and administrative fees and engineering services are recognized when the services are rendered. Upfront payments for manufacturing license fees are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, generally ten years. Revenues generated from royalties relating to the manufacture of Communicators by third parties are recognized when the third party notifies the Company of the units it has manufactured and a unique serial number is assigned to each unit by the Company.
Amounts received prior to the performance of services under customer contracts are recognized as deferred revenues and revenue recognition is deferred until such time that all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
For arrangements with multiple obligations (e.g., deliverable and undeliverable products, and other post-contract support), the Company allocates revenues to each component of the contract based on objective evidence of its fair value. The Company recognizes revenues allocated to undelivered products when the criteria for product revenues set forth above are met. If objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered obligations is not available, the arrangement consideration allocable to a delivered item is combined with the amount allocable to the undelivered item(s) within the arrangement. Revenues are recognized as the remaining obligations are fulfilled.
Out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the performance of professional service contracts are included in costs of services and any amounts re-billed to clients are included in revenues during the period in which they are incurred. Shipping costs billed to customers are included in product sales revenues and the related costs are included as costs of product sales.
The Company, on occasion, issues options to purchase its equity securities or the equity securities of its subsidiaries, or issue shares of its common stock as an incentive in soliciting sales commitments

from its customers. The grant date fair value of such equity instruments is recorded as a reduction of revenues on a pro-rata basis as products or services are delivered under the sales arrangement.
Costs of revenues
Costs of product sales includes the purchase price of products sold, shipping charges, costs of warranty obligations, payroll and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with fulfilling product sales and depreciation and amortization of assets used to deliver products. Costs of services is comprised of payroll and related costs, including stock-based compensation, materials and supplies, depreciation and amortization of assets used to provide services.
Foreign currency translation
The Company has foreign operations where the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary has been determined to be the U.S. dollar. For operations where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated using end-of-period exchange rates; revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated using average rates of exchange. For these operations, currency translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ deficit. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the determination of net income or loss. For operations where the U.S. dollar is designated as the functional currency, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using the end-of-period exchange rates, where non-monetary accounts are remeasured using historical exchange rates, and all remeasurement and transaction adjustments are recognized in the determination of the net income or loss.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and the current portion of deferred revenues approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. There is no market value information available for the Company’s long-term receivables, long-term deferred revenues and redeemable convertible preferred stock and a reasonable estimate could not be made without incurring excessive costs.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of risk
The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations headquartered in the United States. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.
Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the contracted for payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.
Long-term receivables represent amounts due from the sale of products and services to related parties that are collateralized by assets whose estimated fair market value exceeds the carrying value of the receivables (see Note 16).

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, one customer comprised 25.1%, 37.2% and 31.4% of revenues. During 2005, a second customer comprised 13.7% of revenues, resulting from the sale of a gateway earth station to that customer. At December 31, 2004 and 2005, one customer accounted for 10.0% and 41.9% of accounts receivable, respectively.
A significant portion of the Company’s Communicators are manufactured under a contract by Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, which is under bankruptcy protection. The Communicators are manufactured by a Delphi affiliate in Mexico, which the Company does not believe will be impacted by the Delphi bankruptcy. As of December 31, 2005, there has been no interruption to the supply of Communicators from Delphi.
The Company does not currently maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting the existing satellite constellation. If the Company experiences significant uninsured losses, such events could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory represents finished goods available for sale to customers. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary.
Satellite network and other equipment
Satellite network and other equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized once an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful life or their respective lease term.
The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operations as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Capitalized development costs
The Company capitalizes the costs of acquiring, developing and testing software to meet the Company’s internal needs. Capitalization of costs associated with software obtained or developed for internal use commences when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project, based on a determination that it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include only (1) external direct cost of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, and (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Internal use software costs are amortized once the software is placed in service using the straight-line method over periods ranging from three to five years. Prior to 2005, the Company did not capitalize any payroll and payroll-related costs because in the opinion of management these costs were not deemed capitalizable.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of licenses acquired from affiliates to market and resell the Company’s services in certain foreign geographic areas and related regulatory approvals to allow the Company to provide its services in various countries and territories. The Company’s intangible assets also include acquired intellectual property related to the manufacture of Communicators. Intangible assets are stated at their acquisition cost.

Amortization of intangible assets is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets at December 31, 2004 and 2005.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s policy is to review its long-lived assets and amortizable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In connection with this review, the Company also reevaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization for these assets. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined using the present value of the net future operating cash flows to be generated by the asset. Through December 31, 2005, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on its long-lived assets or intangibles.
Debt issuance costs and debt discount
Loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized over the term of the related loan using the effective interest method. Such amortization is reported as a component of interest expense.
The Company accounts for the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights arising from the issuance of convertible debt instruments with conversion rights that are “in-the-money” at the commitment date pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 98-5 and EITF Issue No. 00-27. Such value is measured based on the relative fair value of the detachable convertible instrument and the associated debt and is allocated to additional paid-in-capital (or members’ deficiency prior to the Reorganization) and recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights is amortized to interest expense from the issuance date through the earliest date the underlying debt instrument can be converted using the effective interest method.
Warrants, or any other detachable instruments issued in connection with debt financing agreements, are valued using the relative fair value method and allocated to additional paid-in capital (or members’ deficiency prior to the Reorganization) and recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt. This discount is amortized to interest expense from the issuance date through the maturity date of the debt using the effective interest method.
If debt is repaid, or converted into preferred or common stock, prior to the full amortization of the related issuance costs, beneficial conversion rights or debt discount, the remaining balance of such items are recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Prepaid interest associated with notes payable is recognized based on the terms of the related notes, generally in the first interest periods of the notes.
Convertible redeemable preferred stock
At the time of issuance, preferred stock is recorded at its gross proceeds less issuance costs. The carrying value is increased to the redemption value using the effective interest method over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption. The carrying value of preferred stock is also increased by cumulative unpaid dividends.
Income taxes
Prior to February 17, 2004, the consolidated financial statements did not include a provision for federal and state income taxes because ORBCOMM LLC was treated as a partnership for federal and
 
F-13

state income tax purposes. As such, ORBCOMM LLC was not subject to any income taxes, as any income or loss through February 17, 2004 was included in the tax returns of the individual members.
ORBCOMM LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of February 17, 2004 (see Note 1). The Company is a “C” corporation and for income tax purposes has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”).
Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more likely than not.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation arrangements with employees are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, using the intrinsic value method of accounting which requires charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date an employee stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The intrinsic value per share is being recorded as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, using the straight-line method. The Company provides the required disclosures of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation— Transition and Disclosure”. Stock-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. Had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation awards with the value of each option grant estimated on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model, assuming no dividend yield, 61.5% volatility, an expected term of three to four years, and a weighted average interest rate of 2.33%, the impact on the Company’s consolidated net loss would have been as follows:

Computation of net loss per common share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders (net loss adjusted for dividends required on preferred stock and accretion in preferred stock carrying value) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, since potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes would have an antidilutive effect as the Company incurred a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.
The potentially dilutive securities excluded from the determination of basic and diluted loss per share, as their effect is antidilutive, are as follows:
                 
    Years ended
    December 31,
     
    2004   2005
 
Series A convertible preferred stock
    13,433,611       14,053,611  
Series B convertible preferred stock
          17,629,999  
Preferred stock warrants
    478,392       478,392  
Common stock warrants
    2,876,997       2,876,997  
Stock options
    2,214,686       2,192,561  
             
      19,003,686       37,231,560  
             
The net loss applicable to common shares of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 is based on the Company’s net loss for the period from the date of the Reorganization (February 17, 2004) through December 31, 2004. Net loss attributable to the period from January 1, 2004 to February 16, 2004, prior to the Company becoming a corporation and issuing its common shares, has been excluded from the net loss applicable to common shares. As a result, net loss per common share for 2004 is not comparable to the net loss per common share for 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the reconciliation between net loss and net loss applicable to common shares is as follows:
                 
    Years ended
    December 31,
     
    2004   2005
 
Net loss
  $ (12,389 )   $ (9,098 )

Add: Preferred stock dividends and accretion of preferred stock carrying value
    (3,638 )     (5,150 )
             
Net loss applicable to common shares
  $ (14,535 )   $ (14,248 )
             
Comprehensive loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The Company’s other comprehensive income component results from currency translation adjustments.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs— an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 amends Accounting Research Board No. 43, Chapter 4 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material
 
F-15

(spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 shall be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 151 is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it currently does not manufacture its inventory.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”). The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS 123, SFAS 148 and APB 25. Under SFAS 123(R), all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the consolidated statement of operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value method. SFAS 123(R) is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt the modified prospective transition method, which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost for awards that are not fully vested as of the effective date of SFAS 123(R) based on the same estimate that the Company used to previously value its grants under SFAS 123.
The Company will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants rather than disclose the impact on its consolidated statement of operations within the Company’s footnotes, as is the current practice. As a result, the Company will incur stock-based compensation expense from January 1, 2006 for options issued prior to that date but which were not fully vested at that time. The Company will incur additional compensation expense as new awards are made after January 1, 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchange of Non-monetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and requires that such exchanges be measured at fair value, with limited exceptions. SFAS 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 by eliminating the exception that required non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets to be recorded on a carryover basis. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. FIN 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Company adopted the provision of FIN 47 during 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections— a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”), which requires a retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle for all periods presented. This statement supersedes prior accounting principles that required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not currently contemplate any voluntary changes in accounting principles.

Note 4. Acquisitions
Acquisition of assets of Stellar Satellite Communications Ltd.
On May 1, 2003, ORBCOMM LLC entered into an agreement to acquire the business operations of Stellar Satellite Communications Ltd., an Israeli limited company (“Old Stellar”), including the inventory, intellectual property and other assets relating to equipment production of Old Stellar. The Company also assumed specific limited warranty obligations of Old Stellar. The acquisition was completed on May 19, 2003. The Company acquired the assets of Old Stellar to help ensure that sufficient Communicators would be available to meet the needs of its customers at reasonable prices. The aggregate purchase price was $1,686, consisting of $1,600 in cash and acquisition costs of $86.
The acquisition was accounted for by the Company using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. The acquired assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the purchase price of $1,686 as follows:
         
Inventory
  $ 1,295  
Intellectual property
    715  
       
      2,010  
Less liabilities assumed
    (324 )
       
    $ 1,686  
       
In accordance with the purchase method, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the results of operations and cash flows of New Stellar (as defined below) from May 19, 2003.
At the time of the Company’s acquisition of Old Stellar’s assets, Transport International Pool, Inc. (“GE TIP”), a subsidiary of GE Capital (see Note 12) and Eurovest Holdings Ltd. (“Eurovest”) were granted rights to acquire a 30% and 35% equity interest in Stellar Satellite Communications, Ltd., an International Business Company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company organized to hold the Old Stellar assets (“New Stellar”), respectively. Eurovest’s rights to obtain an interest in New Stellar were contingent upon GE TIP exercising its rights. The fair value of such rights was not significant. In May 2003, Eurovest loaned the Company $250 to help finance the Company’s acquisition of Old Stellar’s assets. In May 2004, the Company repaid the note payable to Eurovest plus interest of $200. The $200 payment has been charged to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In July 2003, GE TIP’s rights to acquire equity interests in New Stellar lapsed. Eurovest’s rights, also lapsed in July 2003 because they were contingent on GE TIP exercising its rights.
Acquisition of Sistron International LLC.
On February 17, 2004, as a condition to the Reorganization, two officers of the Company contributed all of their interests in Sistron International LLC (“Sistron”) (representing 100% of Sistron) to the Company in exchange for 127,414 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock of the Company. Sistron is a value added reseller of the Company’s services.
Sistron and the Company were entities under common control and as a result, the acquisition of Sistron was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and Sistron’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical carrying amounts. The excess of the carrying amount of Sistron’s liabilities over its assets of $103 was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit. The Company also recorded a reduction to additional paid-in capital of $362 which equaled the carrying value of preferred stock issued for the interests in Sistron. Sistron’s results of operations for the year

Acquisition of interest in Satcom International Group Plc.
On October 7, 2005 the Company acquired, from two officers of the Company, a 51% interest of Satcom International Group Plc. (“Satcom”) in exchange for (i) 620,000 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock and the assumption of certain liabilities and (ii) a contingent payment in the event of a sale of or initial public offering of the Company. The contingent payment would equal $2,000, $3,000 or $6,000 in the event of proceeds from such a sale or the valuation in an initial public offering exceeding $250,000, $300,000 or $500,000, respectively, subject to proration for amounts that fall in between these thresholds. Satcom is an international licensee of the Company’s services. The transaction was completed in order to eliminate any potential conflict of interest between the Company and the officers. (See Note 16).
Upon review of the activities of Satcom, the Company determined that the operations of Satcom did not qualify as a business as it had no employees, no sales force, insignificant revenues, and its only assets of value were its granted licenses. Satcom had been inactive for several years at the time of acquisition. Accordingly, the acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase. The assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition of $4,655. As consideration, the Company issued 620,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued with an aggregate value of $1,761 (determined at the date the agreement to purchase Satcom was executed). The Company incurred transactions costs of $508. The net asset value attributed to the 49% owners is recorded at its historical cost basis which was $0 at the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the purchase price as follows:
         
Acquired licenses
  $ 4,484  
Other assets
    171  
Liabilities (including note payable to related party of $586)
    (2,386 )
       
Acquisition cost
  $ 2,269  
       
The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include Satcom’s revenues, operating expenses and cash flows from October 7, 2005.
Note 5. Advances to Contract Manufacturer
Advances to contract manufacturer represent deposits made by the Company with its contract manufacturer to fund future inventory purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the aggregate amount of the advances was $3,825 and $701, respectively. The balance at December 31, 2005 is expected to be applied to inventory purchases in 2006.

During 2004, the Company entered into a contract with the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”), to design, develop, launch and operate a single satellite equipped with the capability to receive, process and forward Automatic Identification System (“AIS”) data (the “Concept Validation Project”). Under the terms of the agreement, title to the Concept Validation Project satellite remains with the Company, however the USCG will be granted a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the designs, processes and procedures developed under the contract in connection with any future Company satellites that are AIS enabled. The Company is permitted to use the Concept Validation Project satellite to provide services to other customers. The agreement also provides for post-launch maintenance and AIS data transmission services to be provided by the Company to the USCG for an initial term of 14 months. At its option, the USCG may elect under the agreement to receive maintenance and AIS data transmission services for up to an additional 18 months subsequent to the initial term. The deliverables under the arrangement do not qualify as separate units of accounting and, as a result, revenues from the contract will be recognized ratably commencing upon the launch of the Concept Validation Project satellite (expected in mid-2006) through the term of the contract. Deferred professional services revenues at December 31, 2004 and 2005 represent amounts received from the USCG under the contract.

The weighted average fair value of the employee stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $1.56 per share.
During 2004, the Company issued certain employees stock options with an exercise price per share that was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The aggregate intrinsic value of such options, in the amount of $1,764, is being recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period of the stock options. The Company recognized $1,516 and $201 of compensation cost related to such options in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

established. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 was an increase of $2,389 and $4,083, respectively. The $4,083 increase in 2005 includes $1,411 attributable to net operating loss carryforwards of Satcom, which was acquired in 2005.
On February 17, 2004, the members of ORBCOMM, LLC contributed all of their outstanding membership interests in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. This transaction resulted in the conversion of the Company from a partnership for tax purposes to a corporation. At the date of the conversion, the Company established deferred tax assets in the amount of $2,312, which were subject to a full valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, the Company had potentially utilizable federal and state net operating loss tax carryforwards of $3,272 and $6,418, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2025 for federal and state tax purposes. At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, the Company had potentially utilizable foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2,601 and $7,396, respectively. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2008.
The utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to a substantial limitation due to the “change of ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization.

ORBCOMM Europe
The Company has entered into a service license agreement covering 43 jurisdictions in Europe and a gateway services agreement with ORBCOMM Europe LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ORBCOMM Europe”). ORBCOMM Europe is owned 50% by Satcom and 50% by OHB. Satcom is 51% owned by the Company at December 31, 2005. ORBCOMM Europe is a consolidated affiliate at December 31, 2005. The Chief Executive Officer and certain other stockholders of the Company were previously substantial stockholders of Satcom who entered into an agreement in February 2004 to sell substantially all of their interest in Satcom to the Company. See “Satcom International Group Plc.— Satcom Transaction” below. In addition, Satcom has been appointed by ORBCOMM Europe as a country representative for the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland. In addition, ORBCOMM Europe and Satcom have entered into an agreement obligating ORBCOMM Europe to enter into a country representative agreement for Turkey with Satcom, if the current representative agreement for Turkey expires or is terminated for any reason. ORBCOMM Deutschland and Technikom Polska, affiliates of OHB, have been appointed by ORBCOMM Europe as country representatives for Germany and Poland, respectively. OHB is also a 34% stockholder of Elta S.A. the country representative for France.
Upon the acquisition of Satcom on October 7, 2005, the Company became the primary beneficiary of ORBCOMM Europe, and as such, the Company consolidates the entity. The beneficial interest holders and creditors of this variable interest entity do not have a legal recourse to the general credit of the Company.
In connection with the organization of ORBCOMM Europe and the reorganization of the ORBCOMM business in Europe, ORBCOMM agreed to grant ORBCOMM Europe approximately $3,736 in airtime credits. The amount of the grant was equal to the amount owed by the Predecessor Company to the European Company for Mobile Communications Services N.V. (“MCS”), the former licensee for Europe of the Predecessor Company. ORBCOMM Europe, in turn, agreed to issue credits in the aggregate amount of the credits received from the Company to MCS and its country representatives who were stockholders of MCS. Satcom, as a country representative for the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland, received airtime credits in the amount of approximately $580. ORBCOMM Deutschland, as country representative for Germany, received airtime credits of approximately $450. Because approximately $2,706 of the airtime credits were granted to stockholders of MCS who are not related to the Company and who continue to be country representatives in Europe, the Company believes that granting of the airtime credits was essential to permit ORBCOMM Europe to reorganize the ORBCOMM business in Europe. The Company did not record the airtime credits as a liability at the date of the acquisition of the assets of the Predecessor Company for the following reasons: (i) the Company has no obligation to pay the unused airtime credits back to ORBCOMM Europe if ORBCOMM Europe does not use them; and (ii) the airtime credits are earned by ORBCOMM Europe only when the Company generates revenues from ORBCOMM Europe. The airtime credits have no expiration date. Accordingly, the Company is recording the airtime credits as services are rendered and these airtime credits are recorded net of revenues generated from ORBCOMM Europe. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, airtime credits used totaled approximately $471, $219 and $176, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the unused credits granted by the Company to ORBCOMM Europe were approximately $3,046 and $2,870, respectively.

ORBCOMM Asia Limited
On May 8, 2001, ORBCOMM LLC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with ORBCOMM Asia Limited (“ORBCOMM Asia”) outlining the parties’ intention to enter into a definitive service license agreement on terms satisfactory to the Company, covering 23 countries in Asia, including China, India, Australia and Indonesia. Although the parties commenced negotiations toward such an agreement, a definitive agreement was never concluded and the MOU terminated by its terms. The Company believes ORBCOMM Asia is approximately 90% owned by a stockholder in the Company. It is the Company’s intention to consider operating service licenses and/or country representative agreements for these territories on a country by country basis as prospective parties demonstrate the ability, from a financial, technical and operations point of view, to execute a viable business plan. During 2003, 2004 and 2005, ORBCOMM Asia owed the Company amounts for costs related to the storage of certain assets owned by ORBCOMM Asia. On September 14, 2003, ORBCOMM Asia pledged certain assets to the Company to ensure such amounts would be paid. On August 29, 2005, the Company foreclosed on a warehouseman’s lien on three gateway earth stations it was storing on behalf of ORBCOMM Asia in satisfaction of outstanding and unpaid storage fees in the amount of $172. The gateway earth stations are included in inventory at December 31, 2005 at a carrying value of $172. The Company continues to store certain assets owned by ORBCOMM Asia and as of December 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Asia owed the Company $9.
ORBCOMM Japan Limited
To ensure that regulatory authorizations held by ORBCOMM Japan Limited (“ORBCOMM Japan”) in Japan were not jeopardized at the time the Company purchased the assets from the Predecessor Company, and with the understanding that a new service license agreement would be entered into between the parties, ORBCOMM assumed the service license agreement entered into between the Predecessor Company and ORBCOMM Japan. The Company and ORBCOMM Japan undertook extensive negotiations for a new service license agreement from early 2002 until 2004 but were unable to reach agreement on important terms. The Company believes a stockholder of the Company is the beneficial owner of approximately 38% of ORBCOMM Japan. On September 14, 2003, ORBCOMM Asia pledged certain assets to the Company to ensure certain amounts owed by ORBCOMM Japan to the Company under the existing service license agreement would be paid. On January 4, 2005, the Company sent a notice of default to ORBCOMM Japan for its failure to remain current with payments under the service license agreement and subsequently terminated the agreement when the default was not cured. On March 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Japan made a partial payment of the amounts due of $350. In 2005, the Company agreed to a standstill under the pledge agreement (including as to ORBCOMM Asia and Korea ORBCOMM Limited (“ORBCOMM Korea”)) and reinstatement of the prior service license agreement, subject to ORBCOMM receiving payment in full of all debts owed by ORBCOMM Japan, ORBCOMM Korea and ORBCOMM Asia to the Company by December 15, 2005 and certain operational changes designed to give the Company more control over the Japanese and Korean gateway earth stations. The outstanding amounts owed by ORBCOMM Japan to the Company were not repaid as of December 15, 2005, and as of December 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Japan owed the Company $385 in unpaid service fees. On February 22, 2006, the Company sent a notice of default to ORBCOMM Japan for its failure to satisfy its obligations under the standstill agreement, including its failure to make the required payments under the service license agreement and if the defaults are not cured within the specified cure period, the Company intends to terminate the agreement as a result of such default.

Korea ORBCOMM Limited
To ensure that regulatory authorizations held by ORBCOMM Korea in South Korea were not jeopardized at the time ORBCOMM LLC purchased the assets from the Predecessor Company, and with the understanding that a new service license agreement would be entered into between the parties, ORBCOMM assumed the service license agreement entered into between the Predecessor Company and ORBCOMM Korea. The Company and ORBCOMM Korea undertook extensive negotiations for a new service license agreement from early 2002 until 2004 but were unable to reach agreement on important terms. The Company believes a stockholder of the Company is the beneficial owner of approximately 33% of ORBCOMM Korea. On September 14, 2003, ORBCOMM Asia pledged certain assets to the Company to ensure that certain amounts owed to the Company by ORBCOMM Korea under the existing service license agreement would be paid. On January 4, 2005, the Company sent a notice of default to ORBCOMM Korea for its failure to remain current with the payments under the service licensing agreement and subsequently terminated the agreement when the default was not cured. In 2005, the Company agreed to a standstill with respect to the default by ORBCOMM Korea as part of the standstill agreement with ORBCOMM Japan and a reinstatement of the prior service license agreement. The outstanding amounts owed by ORBCOMM Korea to the Company were not repaid as of December 15, 2005 and as of December 31, 2005, ORBCOMM Korea owed the Company $149 in unpaid service fees. On April 5, 2006, the Company sent a notice of default to ORBCOMM Korea for its failure to comply with the standstill agreement and if the default is not cured by the date specified, the service license agreement will be automatically terminated as a result of ORBCOMM Korea’s failure to cure such default within the specified cure period.
Satcom International Group Plc.
General. Satcom (i) owns 50% of ORBCOMM Europe; (ii) has entered into country representative agreements with ORBCOMM Europe covering the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland; and (iii) has entered into a service license agreement with the Company covering substantially all of the countries of the Middle East and a significant number of countries of Central Asia, and gateway services agreement with the Company. See “—ORBCOMM Europe” described above.
As of December 31, 2004 the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Jerome B. Eisenberg, and a former officer, Don Franco (“Messrs. Franco and Eisenberg”), both of whom were directors of the Company at the time, owned directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding voting shares of Satcom and held a substantial portion of the outstanding debt of Satcom. Certain other investors in the Company were also investors in Satcom. Satcom was formerly a principal stockholder of MCS and made significant investments in other territories related to the Predecessor Company.
Satcom Transaction. As a condition of the Reorganization, Messrs. Franco and Eisenberg were required to enter into a definitive agreement, in order to eliminate any potential conflict of interest between the Company and the officers, to transfer to the Company all of their interests in Satcom in exchange for (i) 620,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and (ii) a contingent payment in the event of a sale or initial public offering of the Company. The closing of the Satcom transaction was subject to a completion of a reorganization of Satcom resulting in the conversion to equity of not less than 95% of the outstanding debt of Satcom by July 1, 2005 unless the parties elect to extend the date or agree otherwise. If the reorganization was not completed by July 1, 2005, or such later date, the Company could elect to take less than all of the interests of the officers; provided however, the Company must still issue the 620,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and make the contingent payment regardless of what portion of such interests the Company chooses to purchase. The contingent payment would be equal to $2,000, $3,000 or $6,000 in the event of proceeds from such a sale or the valuation in an initial public offering exceeding $250,000, $300,000 or $500,000, respectively, subject to proration for amounts that fall in between these thresholds.

Satcom Reorganization and Acquisition. On October 7, 2005, Satcom and certain of its stockholders and noteholders, consummated a reorganization transaction (the “Satcom Reorganization”) whereby 95% of the outstanding principal of demand notes, convertible notes and certain contract debt was converted into equity, and accrued and unpaid interest on such demand and convertible notes was acknowledged to have been previously released. This reorganization included the conversion to equity of the demand notes and convertible notes owed by Satcom to Messrs. Franco and Eisenberg and the release of any other debts of Satcom owed to them. Concurrently, the Company acquired the Satcom interests of Messrs. Franco and Eisenberg and issued them 620,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (See Note 4).

Gateway settlement obligation
In 1996, the Predecessor Company entered into a contract to purchase gateway earth stations (“GESs”) from ViaSAT Inc. (the “GESs Contract”). As of September 15, 2000, the date the Predecessor Company filed for bankruptcy, approximately $11,000 had been paid to ViaSAT, leaving approximately $3,700 owing under the GESs Contract for 8.5 GESs manufactured and stored by ViaSAT. In December 2004, the Company and ViaSAT entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Company was granted title to 4 completed GESs in return for a commitment to pay an aggregate of $1,000 by December 2007. ViaSAT maintains a security interest and lien in the 4 GESs and has the right to possession of each GESs until the lien associated with the GESs has been satisfied. The Company has the option, expiring in December 2007, to purchase any or all of the remaining 4.5 GESs for aggregate consideration of $2,700. However, the Company must purchase one of the remaining GESs for $1,000 prior to the sale or disposition of the last of the 4 GESs for which title has been transferred. At December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company has recorded the 4 GESs in inventory at an aggregate value of $1,644 and recorded an accrued liability of an equal amount.

Litigation
Quake. On February 24, 2005, Quake Global, Inc. (“Quake”) filed a four count action for damages and injunctive relief against the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, New Stellar, and Delphi Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. The action alleges antitrust violations, breach of contract, tortious interference and improper exclusive dealing arrangements. Quake claims damages in excess of $15,000 and seeks treble damages, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and that the Company be required to divest itself of the assets it acquired from Old Stellar and reconstitute a new and effective competitor. On April 21, 2005, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or to compel arbitration and dismiss or stay the proceedings, which the District Court denied. On July 19, 2005, the Company and New Steller took an interlocutory appeal as of right to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the denial of the Company’s motion to dismiss. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral argument is expected in or around the fourth quarter of 2006. On December 6, 2005, the Company filed its answer and counterclaims to Quake’s complaint.
Separately, ORBCOMM served notices of default upon Quake in July and September 2005 under the parties’ Subscriber Communicators Manufacturing Agreement. On September 23, 2005, the Company commenced an arbitration with the American Arbitration Association seeking: (1) a declaration that the Company has the right to terminate the Subscriber Communicator Manufacturing Agreement; (2) an injunction against Quake’s improperly using the fruits of contractually-prohibited non-segregated modem design and development efforts in products intended for use with the systems of the Company’s competitors; and (3) damages. Quake has filed an answer with counterclaims to the Company’s claims in the arbitration. The arbitration hearing is in the process of being scheduled. No provision for losses, if any, that might result from the matter have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ORBCOMM Asia. On September 30, 2005, ORBCOMM Asia delivered to the Company, ORBCOMM Holdings, ORBCOMM LLC, and two officers of the Company a written notice of its intention to arbitrate certain claims of breach of contract and constructive fraud related to the Memorandum of Understanding dated May 8, 2001 (the “MOU”) and seeking an award of $3,170 in actual and compensatory damages for breach of contract and $5,000 in punitive damages, and an award of damages for lost profits in an amount to be established. The Company believes that ORBCOMM Asia is approximately 90% owned by Gene Hyung-Jin Song, who is also a stockholder of the Company. On October 13, 2005, the Company, ORBCOMM Holdings, ORBCOMM LLC, and two officers of the Company received notification from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, a division of the American Arbitration Association, that it had received the demand for arbitration from ORBCOMM Asia. On October 19 2005, ORBCOMM Inc., ORBCOMM Holdings LLC, ORBCOMM LLC, Jerome Eisenberg and Don Franco filed a petition, by order to show cause, in New York Supreme Court seeking a stay of the arbitration as to all parties other than ORBCOMM Asia and ORBCOMM LLC on the ground that those parties were not signatories to the MOU which contains the arbitration provision upon which the arbitration was based. By order dated January 31, 2006, the Supreme Court of the State of New York permanently stayed the arbitration as to all parties other than ORBCOMM LLC and ORBCOMM Asia. The arbitration hearing on the claims between ORBCOMM Asia and ORBCOMM LLC is currently scheduled for June 8-9, 2006. No provision for losses, if any, that might result from the matter have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is subject to various other claims and assessments in the normal course of its business.

Note 20. Initial Public Offering and Pro Forma Presentation (unaudited)
On May 5, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized management to pursue an underwritten sale of shares of the Company’s common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Upon closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of Series A and Series B preferred stock will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of common stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends on Series B preferred stock will become due and payable. The pro forma effect of this conversion has been reflected in unaudited pro forma stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and pro forma net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Item 17.  Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser;
 
  that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
 
  that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

i Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF ORBCOMM INC. (Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) ORBCOMM INC., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "General Corporation Law"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY: FIRST: that the name of this corporation is ORBCOMM INC. and that this corporation was originally incorporated pursuant to the General Corporation Law on October 16, 2003 under the name ORBCOMM INC. SECOND: That the original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 16, 2003, was amended by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 17, 2004, and was further amended by the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 30, 2005. THIRD: That the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions proposing to amend and restate the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, declaring said amendment and restatement to be advisable and in the best interests of this corporation and its stockholders, and authorizing the appropriate officers of this corporation to solicit the consent of the stockholders therefor, which resolution setting forth the proposed amendment and restatement is as follows: RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, of this corporation be amended and restated in its entirety as follows: ARTICLE I The name of this corporation is ORBCOMM INC. ARTICLE II The address of the registered office of this corporation in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19808 and the name of its registered agent at that address is Corporation Service Company. ARTICLE III The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law. ARTICLE IV A. Classes of Stock. This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares that this corporation is authorized to issue is one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares. One hundred five million (105,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share. Forty five million (45,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. B. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock authorized by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The rights, preferences and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Series A Preferred Stock, which series shall consist of up to fifteen million (15,000,000) shares as shall be determined by the Board of Directors (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the rights, preferences and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Series B Preferred Stock, which series shall consist of up to thirty million (30,000,000) shares as shall be determined by the Board of Directors (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), are as set forth below in this Article III(B). 1. Dividends. (a) This corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends (other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or as provided in the final sentence of subsection 1(c) below) on shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock unless (i) the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, the Series B Liquidation Amount, including all accrued dividends pursuant to Subsection 1(c) below or otherwise declared and unpaid, and a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the product of (w) the per share dividend to be declared, paid or set aside for the Common Stock, multiplied by (x) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock is then convertible, plus (y) the per share dividend to be declared, paid or set aside for the Series A Preferred (other than dividends pursuant to Subsection 1(c) below) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock 2 is then convertible or (ii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (the "Supermajority Preferred Holders") agree otherwise. (b) Intentionally deleted. (c) In addition to the dividends which may be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 1(a) above, the holders of shares Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of assets legally available therefor, cash dividends of twelve percent (12%) per share per annum, compounded annually. Such dividends (i) shall initially be compounded based on the Original Series B Issue Price (as defined herein) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, and (ii) shall accrue and be cumulative from the date of issuance of each share of Series B Preferred Stock, whether or not declared. Accrued dividends under this Subsection 1(c), together with declared and unpaid dividends under Subsection 1(a) or otherwise, shall be payable at such times as may be determined by the Board of Directors of this corporation (the "Board"), but shall be payable in full in any event upon any Liquidation under Section 2 below, any Redemption under Section 3 below, or any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock (as the case may be) into Common Stock under Section 4 below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock prior to the date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which remain unpaid shall remain payable as declared, provided that the amount of such dividends shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date hereof or (ii) eight million fifty thousand dollars ($8,050,000). 2. Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of any Liquidation (as hereinafter defined), whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any assets of this corporation to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to the Original Series B Issue Price (as hereinafter defined) plus accrued or otherwise declared but unpaid dividends (the "Series B Liquidation Amount"). The "Original Series B Issue Price" is $4.03 per outstanding share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to such shares). If the assets of this corporation shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the amount thus distributable, then, the entire assets of this corporation available for such distribution shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each. (b) Intentionally deleted. (c) After such payments have been made in full to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, or funds necessary for such payment have been set aside by the corporation in trust for the account of such holders so as to be available for such payments, 3 the remaining assets of this corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock on a pro rata, as-converted basis. (i) For purposes of this Section 2, unless otherwise agreed by the Supermajority Preferred Holders, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) in which the holders of a majority of the voting securities of this corporation immediately before such transaction (on an as converted basis) hold less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving corporation; or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation (any of which events is hereinafter referred to as a "Liquidation"). (ii) In any Liquidation, if the consideration received by this corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows: (A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability: (1) If traded on a national securities exchange or through the NASDAQ Stock Market (or similar quotation system), the London Stock Exchange, the Paris Bourse, the Frankfurt Stock Market, the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing; (2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing; and (3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board and approved by the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock (the "Majority Common Holders"); or in the event that the Board, the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the Majority Common Holders cannot agree on the fair market value, the value shall be the fair market value thereof established by an investment banking firm that is mutually agreed upon by the Board, the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the Majority Common Holders. In the event that the Board, the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the Majority Common Holders cannot agree on an investment banking firm, each of the Board, the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the Majority Common Holders shall retain an investment banking firm or appraisal firm of national prominence and shall instruct those investment banking or appraisal firms (A) to identify, within five (5) business days thereafter, an independent investment banking or appraisal firm of national prominence, and (B) to instruct such investment banking or appraisal firm to calculate, the fair 4 market value of the securities. This corporation shall give the selected investment banking or appraisal firm access to this corporation, its employees and records in order to facilitate such calculations. The selected investment banking or appraisal firm shall be instructed to deliver its written calculation of the fair market value of the security in question to each of the parties (which valuation shall be final and binding as the fair market value of the securities thereof). (B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (c) (ii) (A) (1), (2) and (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board, the Supermajority Preferred Holders and the Majority Common Holders. (d) Intentionally deleted. (e) This corporation shall give each holder of record of capital stock written notice of any proposed transaction which may be deemed a Liquidation not later than three (3) days prior to the stockholders' meeting called to approve such transaction, or three (3) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than three (3) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than two (2) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the Majority Preferred Holders and, if necessary, Majority Common Holders. 3. Redemption. (a) Mandatory Redemption. (i) Shares of Series B Preferred Stock (except the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by holders of Series B Preferred Stock that exercise the Opt Out Right (as defined below), if any) shall be redeemed by this corporation at a price equal to the Original Series B Issue Price per share, plus all declared and/or accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series B Redemption Price"), in one cash installment as set forth below within sixty (60) days after receipt by this corporation at any time on or after October 31, 2011, from the Majority of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), of written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the date of the redemption being referred to as the "Series B Redemption Date"). Within five (5) days of the receipt of written notice from the Majority of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), the Company shall provide written notice to the other Series B Stockholders (the "Minority Series B Stockholders") of the demand for redemption by the Majority of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Opt-Out Redemption Notice"). The Opt-Out Redemption Notice shall be sent and deemed delivered to the Minority Series B Stockholders in the same manner as notice of shareholder meeting is set forth in the By-Laws of this Corporation. Each Minority Series B Stockholder shall have the option to opt out (the "Opt 5 Out Right") of the redemption by providing to the Company written notice of his or its intention to exercise such Opt Out Right within ten (10) days after receipt of the Opt-Out Redemption Notice. The Minority Series B Stockholders who exercise the Opt Out Right shall forfeit any rights to cause any future mandatory redemption under this agreement. Notwithstanding the prior four sentences, if the PCG Entities (as defined below) hold in the aggregate less than five million five hundred eighty-three thousand one hundred twenty-seven (5,583,127) shares or, if the PCG Entities shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing (as such term is defined in the Convertible Note and Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2005 between, among others, this corporation and the PCG Entities, as such agreement may be amended (the "Purchase Agreement")) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, eleven million one hundred sixty-six thousand two hundred fifty-three (11,166,253) shares (in each case, subject to adjustment of such fixed amount for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, (A) the Minority Series B Stockholders shall not have the Opt Out Right and this corporation shall have no obligation to deliver the above-referenced Opt-Out Redemption Notice and (B) all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed on the Series B Redemption Date following the Company's receipt of notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Majority of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the first sentence of this Subsection 3(a)(i). On the Series B Redemption Date, the corporation shall redeem from each holder of Series B Preferred Stock that has not exercised the Opt Out Right (if applicable) all Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder. If this corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock on the Series B Redemption Date, (i) the corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock that has not exercised the Opt Out Right (if applicable) out of funds legally available therefor and redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the corporation has funds legally available therefore, and (ii) the Majority of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the option to elect a majority of the Board. As used in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, "Majority Of Series B Preferred Stock" shall mean (i) so long as the PCG Entities hold, in the aggregate, at least five million five hundred eighty-three thousand one hundred twenty-seven (5,583,127) shares or, if the PCG Entities shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, eleven million one hundred sixty-six thousand two hundred fifty-three (11,166,253) shares (in each case, subject to adjustment of such fixed amount for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of (A) at least five million five hundred eighty-three thousand one hundred twenty-seven (5,583,127) shares (prior to the Subsequent Closing) including the affirmative vote of the PCG Entities or (B) at least eleven million one hundred sixty-six thousand two hundred fifty-three (11,166,253) shares of Series B Preferred Stock (on and after the Subsequent Closing), in each case, including the affirmative vote of the PCG Entities (in each case, subject to adjustment of such fixed amounts for any stock splits, stock dividends, combination, recapitalization and the like) (it being understood that the affirmative vote of the PCG Entities shall be deemed obtained if the PCG Entities holding a majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock held by all PCG Entities so provide their affirmative vote), or (ii) if the PCG Entities do not hold, in the aggregate five million five 6 hundred eighty-three thousand one hundred twenty-seven (5,583,127) shares, or if the PCG Entities shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, eleven million one hundred sixty-six thousand two hundred fifty-three (11,166,253) shares (in each case, subject to adjustment of such fixed amount for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if all of the conditions to the obligations of the PCG Entities to consummate the Subsequent Closing have been satisfied or waived and the applicable PCG Entity(ies) breach their obligation to consummate the Subsequent Closing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then clause (ii) above shall apply following such breach until such time (if any) as such breach is cured (it being understood that if there is a dispute between the Company and the PCG Entities with respect to whether the PCG Entities have breached their obligation to consummate the Subsequent Closing then clause (ii) above shall only apply pursuant to this proviso following entry of a final, non-appealable court order finding that the PCG Entities breached their obligation to consummate the Subsequent Closing). "PCG Entities" means collectively PCG Satellite Investments, LLC, CALPERS PCG Corporate Partners, LLC and any Affiliate(s) of either of the foregoing. (ii) Subject to the redemption of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock and payment in full of the Series B Redemption Price having been made to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (or funds necessary for such payment having been set aside by this corporation in trust for the account of such holders) with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 3(a)(i) above, if applicable, shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by this corporation at a price equal to the Original Series A Issue Price per share, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series A Redemption Price"), in one cash installment as set forth below within sixty (60) days after receipt by this corporation of written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the holders of at least two thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that any such written notice shall not be effective unless delivered on or after the later of (1) February 16, 2010, (2) the date on which there is no longer any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding or (3) the Series B Redemption Date (the date of the redemption being referred to as the "Series A Redemption Date"). The "Original Series A Issue Price" is $2.84 per outstanding share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to such shares). On the Series A Redemption Date, the corporation shall redeem from each holder of Series A Preferred Stock all Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. If this corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock on the Series A Redemption Date, (i) the corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock out of funds legally available therefor and to redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the corporation has funds legally available therefore, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the option to elect a majority of the Board for the purpose of effecting a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock through a sale of this corporation, provided that any such sale of this corporation shall be performed in an orderly auction in a manner consistent with each director's discharge of his or her fiduciary duties. 7 (b) Redemption Notice. Written notice of the mandatory redemptions (the "Redemption Notice") shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, at its post office address last shown on the records of this corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Series A Redemption Date or Series B Redemption Date, as applicable. The Redemption Notice shall state, as to the relevant series of Preferred Stock: (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock held by the holder that the corporation shall redeem on the Series A Redemption Date or Series B Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice; (ii) the Series A Redemption Date or Series B Redemption Date and the Series A Redemption Price or Series B Redemption Price; (iii) the date upon which the holder's right to convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with Subsection 4(a)); and (iv) that the holder is to surrender to this corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed. (c) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable redemption date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such redemption date, unless such holder has exercised his right to convert such shares as provided in Subsection 4(a) hereof, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to this corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the redemption price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued. (d) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the relevant redemption date the applicable redemption price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to be redeemed is paid or tendered for payment, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such redemption date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the relevant redemption date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the applicable redemption price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor. 8 (e) Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by this corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred as shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock. Neither this corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock. (f) Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. Neither this corporation nor any subsidiary shall redeem or otherwise acquire any capital stock of this corporation prior to the complete redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, except in accordance with Subsection(6)(a)(xx) of Article III of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 4. Conversion. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"): (a) Right to Convert. (i) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Series B Issue Price by the conversion price applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided (the "Series B Conversion Price"), in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Series B Conversion Price per share shall be the Original Series B Issue Price for such share; provided, however that the Series B Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Subsection 4(d). (ii) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Series A Issue Price by the conversion price applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided (the "Series A Conversion Price"), in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Series A Conversion Price per share shall be the Original Series A Issue Price for such share; provided, however that the Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Subsection 4(d). In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 3 above, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the applicable date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares for which the redemption price is not paid shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a Liquidation of this corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full 9 day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock. (b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series A Conversion Price for such Series A Preferred Stock then in effect and the Series B Conversion Price for such Series B Preferred Stock then in effect, immediately upon the earlier of: (i) the closing of a public offering by this corporation of its shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in an offering with gross cash proceeds (prior to the deduction of any fees and expenses incurred in such transaction) to the corporation of not less than seventy five million dollars ($75,000,000), at a per share price of not less than (1) $8.52 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) if the public offering occurs on or before February 28, 2007, (2) $10.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) if the public offering occurs after February 28, 2007 and on or before December 31, 2007, or (3) $12.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) if the public offering occurs on or after January 1, 2008 (any such public offering, a "Qualified Public Offering"); (ii) the closing of a Qualified Sale (as defined herein); or (iii) upon the vote or written consent of the Supermajority Preferred Holders. (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, and give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office of such holder's election to convert the same, and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holders, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. In the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Subsection 4(b), the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock 10 and Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to this corporation or its transfer agent, provided that the corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock are delivered to the corporation or its transfer agent. If the conversion is in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. If the conversion is in connection with a Qualified Sale, the conversion will be deemed to have effect from immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified Sale (but shall be conditioned on the closing of such Qualified Sale occurring) such that a holder of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have transferred in the Qualified Sale the number of shares of the Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock are then convertible. Upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, the corporation shall pay the holder of such shares all declared and/or accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. (d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) Adjustment for Certain Dilutive Issuances. (A) Subject to Subsection 4(d)(i)(C) upon each issuance by this corporation of any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock (which has not been approved by the holders of at least a Majority of the Series B Preferred Stock), the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (i)) be adjusted to a price equal to the consideration per share for which such Additional Stock is issued. (B) Subject to Subsection 4(d)(i)(C) below, upon each issuance by this corporation of any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock (which has not been approved by holders of either a Majority of the Series B Preferred Stock or a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock 11 plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for the total number of shares of Additional Stock so issued would purchase at the Series A Conversion Price in effect for such series immediately prior to such issuance, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Stock plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Stock shall be calculated as if all shares of all series of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and any outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities shall be treated in the manner set forth in subsection (i)(F) below. (C) No adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price and/or Series B Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one percent (1%) of the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, and upon such adjustment the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (i)(F)(3) and (F)(4), no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection (i) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price above the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. (D) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount of cash paid therefor (taking into account all of the consideration received by this corporation in the transaction giving rise to such issuance and after proper allocation of such consideration to the relevant Common Stock) before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. (E) In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in the same manner as set forth in Subsection (c)(ii) (taking into account all of the consideration received by this corporation in the transaction giving rise to such issuance and after proper allocation of such consideration to the relevant Common Stock). (F) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this subsection 4(d)(i) and subsection 4(d)(ii): 12 (1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (whether or not then exercisable) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the total consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(D) and 4(d)(i)(E)), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby. (2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (whether or not then convertible or exchangeable) for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends, but taking into account the total consideration received by this corporation in the transaction giving rise to the issuance of such securities and related options or rights), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(D) and 4(d)(i)(E)). (3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change unless such change is due to any stock dividend, combination or split made following the effective date of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and a proportionate adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price is being made pursuant to subsections 4(d)(iii) or 4(d)(iv) hereof, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities. (4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall, if necessary under Subsection 4(d)(i)(A) (in the case of the Series B Conversion Price) or Subsection 4(d)(i)(B) (in the case of the Series A Conversion Price), be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities (it being understood that the Series B Conversion Price shall only be 13 recomputed if all such options, rights or securities giving rise to the most recent adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price expire or are terminated). (5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections 4(d)(i)(F)(1) and 4(d)(i)(F)(2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection 4(d)(i)(F)(3) or 4(d)(i)(F)(4). (ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(B)) by this corporation other than the following: (A) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 4(d)(iii) hereof; (B) Up to an aggregate of seven million three hundred fifty-two thousand (7,352,000) shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, independent contractors, consultants, officers or directors of this corporation directly or pursuant to stock option plans or restricted stock agreements approved by the Board (including any such shares issued prior to the date hereof or issuable pursuant to options or other securities granted prior to the date hereof), provided such issuances are for other than primarily equity financing purposes, unless a greater number of shares is approved by the Board and a Majority of the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in Subsection 6 hereof (the "Permitted Employee Shares"); (C) Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or any change in the Series B Conversion Price due to an adjustment set forth in subsection 4(d)(i)(A); (D) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of Shares of Common Stock, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (E) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by this corporation, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise which has been approved pursuant to Section 6 hereof; (F) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of warrants or other securities or rights pursuant to equipment lease financings or bank credit arrangements, approved by the Board as provided in subsection 6 hereof, provided that the aggregate amount of stock issuances excluded from the definition of Additional Stock pursuant to this provision shall not, when combined with the any stock issuances in accordance with Section (G) immediately below, exceed (x) two million three hundred thousand (2,300,000) shares or, if the PCG Entities shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, two million eight hundred thousand (2,800,000) shares at the time of issuance or (y) four million six hundred thousand (4,6000,000) shares or, if the PCG Entities and the other investor in the Subsequent Closing under the Purchase Agreement shall have purchased 14 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, five million six hundred thousand (5,600,000) shares in the aggregate; and (G) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to vendors or other persons or entities pursuant to commercial arrangements approved by the Board as provided in Section 6 hereof, provided that the aggregate amount of stock issuances excluded from the definition of Additional Stock pursuant to this provision shall not, when combined with any issuances in accordance with Section (F) immediately above, exceed (x) two million three hundred thousand (2,300,000) shares or, if the PCG Entities shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, two million eight hundred thousand (2,800,000) shares at the time of issuance or (y) four million six hundred thousand (4,6000,000) shares or, if the PCG Entities and the other investor in the Subsequent Closing under the Purchase Agreement shall have purchased shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Subsequent Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, five million six hundred thousand (5,600,000) shares in the aggregate at the time of issuance; unless, in the case of subsections 4(d)(ii)(A) through (G) the applicable issuance of Common Stock (or Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(B)) shall trigger a change in the number of shares which may be purchased under any of the Company's stock purchase warrants outstanding as of the date hereof pursuant to the anti-dilution provision(s) thereof, if any, which shall not have been waived with respect to each such warrant (in which case the Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(B)) shall be considered Additional Stock). (iii) In the event this corporation should at any time or from time to time following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents. (iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be 15 decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. (e) Other Distributions. In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection (d)(iii), then, in each such case, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the corporation entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made with respect to the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock unless the entire Series B Liquidation Amount has been paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. (f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2), provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as is practicable. (g) No Impairment. This corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock against impairment. (h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. (i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. 16 (ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price at the time in effect, as the case may be, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be. (i) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right. (j) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. (k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation. 5. Voting Rights. 17 (a) General Voting Rights. A holder of shares of Common Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock. A holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote as a single class, unless otherwise prohibited by law or as otherwise provided in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) Election of Directors. This corporation's Board shall consist of ten (10) members who shall be elected as follows: (i) for so long as shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect six (6) members of the corporation's Board, and (ii) the holders of Common Stock, voting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect four (4) members of the corporation's Board.

(a) The Corporation and the Board of Directors hereby acknowledge that the United States government controls, for reasons of U.S. national security, the export of satellites, satellite technology and related technical data (referred to herein as "Regulated Asset(s)") (as such terms are defined, inter alia, in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations) (the "ITAR", 22 C.F.R. Sections 120-130). Accordingly, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Corporation that are not U.S. persons (as defined at 22 C.F.R. Section 120) shall not seek and shall not be afforded access to the Company's Regulated Assets, except as authorized by the appropriate U.S. government agency. The Board of Directors shall act to ensure that the Company does not otherwise violate the ITAR or any other applicable U.S. law or regulation. The Corporation shall promptly seek all requisite U.S. government authorizations ("Consents") that are necessary or advisable to ensure that Directors, Officers, employees, or such other parties as reasonably determined by the Company, have access to the information and Regulated Assets needed to carry out their responsibilities and the business of the Company. (b) In the event that at least two (2) of the directors of the Corporation reasonably determine that any action to be taken or proposed to be taken by the Corporation or the Board of Directors with respect to any Regulated Asset may require prior authorization from any governmental entity as a result of the ownership and/or control of the Corporation by a Foreign Person (as defined at 22 C.F.R. Section 120), or participation on the board of directors of any Foreign Persons or any U.S. Persons appointed by a Foreign Person(s), and Corporation counsel cannot provide the Corporation with a written opinion stating that prior Consents from any governmental authority are not necessary or advisable, the Corporation shall, prior to the taking of any such action, obtain all requisite prior Consents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by the unanimous vote of all then serving directors, including Foreign Persons and U.S. Persons appointed by Foreign Persons, the Corporation determines that it is necessary, advisable, or reasonably prudent for a decision on any such action with respect to a Regulated Asset to be taken before Consents can be obtained, then the Board of Directors shall proceed on the matter (a "Regulated Matter"). Under such circumstances, with respect to said Regulated Matter, any Director that is a 7 Foreign Person shall be recused from: (i) attending any portion of a Board of Directors meeting where said Regulated Matter is considered; or (ii) voting on any action of the Board of Directors relating to said Regulated Matter. Notwithstanding any other the provision of this Agreement, any director voting on any action of the Board of Directors relating to a Regulated Matter shall be guided by the best interests of the Corporation, and such director's vote shall not be directed or controlled in any way by any Foreign Person, even if such director was elected by a Foreign Person(s). Additionally, with respect to any Regulated Matter, any applicable unanimous consent or super-majority voting provisions established by the Company shall only apply to the voting of directors not recused pursuant to this Section 2.14(b). Any recusal resulting from the provisions of this Section 2.14(b) shall cease to apply with respect to any Regulated Matter upon the receipt by the Corporation of an opinion of counsel (or other written advice) satisfactory to all of the directors that: (i) all requisite prior Consents have been obtained to permit the Corporation to take any subject action relating to said Regulated Matter and the Regulated Asset(s) relating thereto; or (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(b) are not necessary under applicable U.S. law. ARTICLE THREE OFFICERS SECTION 3.1. Election; Qualification. The officers of the Corporation shall have such titles and duties as are set forth in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may elect such officers as it may from time to time determine. Two or more offices may be held by the same person and any office may be held by more than one person.

Unless specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. SECTION 3.4. Removal. Any officer of the Corporation may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors. SECTION 3.5. Vacancies. Any vacancy, however caused, in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board of Directors. 8 SECTION 3.6. Compensation.

During the absence of the Chief Executive Officer or his inability to act, the President shall exercise the powers and perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, if any. SECTION 3.9. Vice President. Each Vice President shall have such powers and duties as generally pertain to the office of Vice President and as the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time prescribe. During the absence of the President or his inability to act, the Vice President, or if there shall be more than one Vice President then that one designated by the Board of Directors, shall exercise the powers and shall perform the duties of the President, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, if any.

ARTICLE FOUR 9 INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 4.1. Indemnification. (a) The Corporation shall indemnify, subject to the requirements of subsection (d) of this Section, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another (foreign or domestic) corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. (b) The Corporation shall indemnify, subject to the requirements of subsection (d) of this Section, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper. (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 10 (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. (e) Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Section shall not limit the Corporation from providing any other indemnification or advancement of expenses permitted by law nor shall they be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. (g) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another (foreign or domestic) corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section. (h) For the purposes of this Section, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 11 (i) For purposes of this Section, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Section. (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(i) In the event that the Company, the Other Common Stockholders and the Preferred Stockholders do not exercise their options to purchase all of the Selling Common Stockholder's Offered Shares, such Selling Common Stockholder shall offer each Other Common Stockholder and each Preferred Stockholder (collectively, the "Remaining Stockholders"), the opportunity to require that the Transfer by the Selling Common Stockholder be conditioned upon the Third Party purchasing from such Remaining Stockholder and from the Selling Common Stockholder a pro rata portion of each such Stockholder's Shares, based upon the number of Common Stock Equivalents owned by the Selling Common Stockholder and all Remaining Stockholders exercising rights pursuant to this paragraph 4.1 (a "Tag-Along Sale"). The Remaining Stockholders may exercise this right by delivering to the Company and the Selling Common Stockholder a Tag-Along Notice in accordance with paragraph 4.1(ii) below. The Remaining Stockholders delivering such a notice are hereinafter referred to as the "Tag-Along Stockholders." In connection with a Tag-Along Sale, (i) the only representations, warranties and covenants which any Tag-Along Stockholder shall be required to make in connection with any Transfer are representations and warranties with respect to its own ownership of the Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, its due organization (if applicable), its due authorization, execution and delivery of definitive purchase agreements (if applicable), enforceability of such purchase agreement against it and no conflict of it with such purchase agreement, and (ii) the liability of the Tag-Along Stockholder with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with any Transfer is the several liability of such Tag-Along Stockholder (and not joint with any other person).

The Tag-Along Notice shall set forth the number of Shares each of the Tag-Along Stockholders has elected to include in the Tag-Along Sale. The Tag-Along Notice shall constitute the Tag-Along Stockholders' binding agreement to sell the Shares specified in the Tag-Along Notice on the terms and conditions applicable to the Tag-Along Sale; provided, however, that in the event there is any material change in the terms and conditions of such Tag-Along Sale after the Tag-Along Notice is given, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Tag-Along Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw from the Tag-Along Sale with respect to all Shares affected thereby. If the Third Party does not consummate the purchase of all of the Shares requested to be included in the Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Selling Common Stockholder, the Selling Common Stockholder shall not consummate the Transfer of any of its Shares to the Third Party. If no Tag-Along Notice is received by the Selling Common Stockholder prior to the end of the thirty (30) day period specified above, the Selling Common Stockholder shall have the right to consummate the Transfer to the Third Party, together with any Tag-Along Sale, without the participation of such Remaining Stockholders on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Transfer and only if such sale is consummated within the one hundred twenty (120) day period specified in Section 3.3. If the Tag-Along Sale does not occur within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Shares that were subject to the Tag-Along Sale shall continue to be subject to all of the restrictions contained in this Agreement. (iii) On the date of the Tag-Along Sale, each Tag-Along Stockholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the Shares to be sold in connection with the Tag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer, to the Third Party in the manner and at the address specified in the Tag-Along Notice against delivery of the purchase price therefor, which shall be in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Transfer; provided, however, that if the Third Party objects to the delivery of Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Tag-Along Stockholder delivering Preferred Stock shall convert such Preferred Stock to Common Stock and deliver Common Stock to the Third Party. The Company agrees to make the conversion concurrent with the actual Transfer of Shares to the Third Party. 4.2 Tag-Along Rights on Transfers of Preferred Stock. (i) In the event that the Company, the Other Preferred Stockholder and the Common Stockholders do not exercise their options to purchase all of the Selling Preferred Stockholder's Offered Shares, such Selling Preferred Stockholder shall offer each Other Preferred Stockholder (collectively, the "Remaining Preferred Stockholders"), the opportunity to require that the Transfer by the Selling Preferred Stockholder be conditioned upon the Third Party purchasing from such Remaining Preferred Stockholder and from the Selling Preferred Stockholder a pro rata portion of each such Stockholder's Shares, based upon the number of Common Stock Equivalents owned by the Selling Preferred Stockholder and all Remaining Preferred Stockholders exercising rights pursuant to this paragraph 4.2 (a "Preferred Tag-Along Sale"). The Remaining Preferred Stockholders may exercise this right by delivering to the Company and the Selling Preferred Stockholder a Preferred Tag-Along Notice in accordance with paragraph 4.2(ii) below. The Remaining Preferred Stockholders delivering such a notice are hereinafter referred to as the "Tag-Along Preferred Stockholders." In connection with a Preferred Tag-Along Sale, (i) the only representations, warranties and covenants which any Tag-Along Preferred Stockholder shall be required to make in connection with any Transfer are representations and warranties with respect to its own ownership of the shares of Preferred Stock to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, its due organization (if applicable), its due authorization, execution and delivery of definitive purchase agreements (if applicable), enforceability of such purchase agreement against it and no conflict of it with such purchase agreement, and (ii) the liability of the Tag-Along Preferred Stockholder with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with any Transfer is the several liability of such Tag-Along Preferred Stockholder (and not joint with any other person). (ii) The Tag-Along Preferred Stockholders may exercise their rights pursuant to clause (i) above by providing written notice (the "Preferred Tag-Along Notice") to the Company and the Selling Preferred Stockholder no less than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the final option election period in Section 3.2 above. The Preferred Tag-Along Notice shall set forth the number of shares of Preferred Stock each of the Tag-Along Preferred Stockholders has elected to include in the Preferred Tag-Along Sale. The Preferred Tag-Along Notice shall constitute the Tag-Along Preferred Stockholders' binding agreement to sell the shares of Preferred Stock specified in the Preferred Tag-Along Notice on the terms and conditions applicable to the Preferred Tag-Along Sale; provided, however, that in the event there is any material change in the terms and conditions of such Preferred Tag-Along Sale after the Preferred Tag-Along Notice is given, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Tag-Along Preferred Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw from the Preferred Tag-Along Sale with respect to all shares of Preferred Stock affected thereby. If the Third Party does not consummate the purchase of all of the shares of Preferred Stock requested to be included in the Preferred Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Selling Preferred Stockholder, the Selling Preferred Stockholder shall not consummate the Transfer of any of its shares of Preferred Stock to the Third Party. If no Preferred Tag-Along Notice is received by the Selling Preferred Stockholder prior to the end of the thirty (30) day period specified above, the Selling Preferred Stockholder shall have the right to consummate the Transfer to the Third Party, together with any Preferred Tag-Along Sale, without the participation of such Remaining Preferred Stockholders on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Transfer and only if such sale is consummated within the one hundred twenty (120) day period specified in Section 3.3. If the Preferred Tag-Along Sale does not occur within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the shares of Preferred Stock that were subject to the Preferred Tag-Along Sale shall continue to be subject to all of the restrictions contained in this Agreement. (iii) On the date of the Preferred Tag-Along Sale, each Tag-Along Preferred Stockholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock to be sold in connection with the Preferred Tag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer, to the Third Party in the manner and at the address specified in the Preferred Tag-Along Notice against delivery of the purchase price therefor, which shall be in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Transfer. 4.3 The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Stockholders hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of a the Selling Stockholder shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 5. Exempt Transfers. 5.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal and tag-along rights set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall not apply to: (i) any transfer by a Preferred Stockholder, if an entity, to its members (or members of its members), shareholders, partners, or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary, (ii) any Stockholder to a Permitted Transferee, or (iii) any distribution or transfer of Common Stock by the Trust to the Trust Beneficiaries; provided that in the event any such transfer is made to any such Person, Trust Beneficiary, or a Permitted Transferee, (A) such Person, Trust Beneficiary, or the Permitted Transferee shall inform the Company of such transfer or gift prior to effecting it and (B) such Person, Trust Beneficiary, or the Permitted Transferee shall furnish the Stockholders and the Company with a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as the transferor. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.1 shall be void ab initio. Upon such exempt transfer, the Person, Trust Beneficiary, or Permitted Transferee shall have all of the rights, benefits and obligations of a Stockholder under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. 5.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 shall not apply to the sale of any Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). 5.3 This Agreement is subject to and shall in no manner limit any right the Company may have to repurchase securities from any Stockholder pursuant to a stock restriction agreement or other agreement between the Company and such Stockholder in connection with his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. In the event of a right of first refusal held by the Company on Shares held by any Stockholder, the right of refusal and tag-along provisions shall apply upon the expiration of the right of first refusal held by the Company. 6. Drag-Along Rights. 6.1 (i) Each of the Stockholders agrees to hold all Shares registered in its name or beneficially owned by it as of the date hereof and any and all Shares legally or beneficially acquired by it after the date hereof subject to, and to vote such Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 6. Each of the Stockholders further agrees that such Stockholder has not and shall not enter into any Agreement (other than an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof) which conflicts with the provisions of this Section 6. (ii) In the event there shall be authorized an Approved Transaction (as such term is defined in Section 6.2 below), each Common Stockholder and each Preferred Stockholder shall (a) vote all of its shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in favor of such Approved Transaction, to the extent a vote of the Common Stockholders and/or Preferred Stockholders (voting either as a single class or as separate classes) is required for the consummation of the transaction and (b) if such Approved Transaction is a Sale Transaction (as such term is defined in Section 6.3 below), Transfer all of its shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to the purchaser or purchasers in such Sale Transaction upon the terms and conditions of such Sale Transaction. (iii) In negotiating a Sale Transaction, the Company shall provide (A) that the only representations, warranties and covenants which the Stockholders shall be required to make in connection with any Transfer are representations and warranties with respect to its own ownership of its Shares and, its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims (if applicable), its due organization (if applicable), its due authorization, execution and delivery of definitive purchase agreements (if applicable), enforceability of such purchase agreement against it, (B) that the liability of the Stockholders with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with any Transfer is the several liability of such Stockholders (and not joint with any other person) and (C) none of the Stockholders shall be required to provide any indemnification to anyone in connection with the transaction (other than indemnification for damages resulting from the breach of any representations or warranties made by such Stockholders); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations of the Stockholders, and such Stockholders hereby expressly agree to be bound by and subject to, any escrow or other holdback arrangement (on a pro rata basis on the number of Common Stock Equivalents sold by such Stockholders in such transaction) provided for in the transaction documents for such transaction. (iv) Each Stockholder hereby grants to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or other person appointed by the Board an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote such Shares in accordance with this Section 6, and hereby appoints the Chief Executive Officer or such other appointee, its attorney in fact, with full power and authority to take any and all actions on such Stockholder's behalf as may be necessary to approve and consummate transactions approved pursuant to this provision in the event that such party fails or refuses to vote or sell its Shares as required by this Section 6. At the closing of any Sale Transaction, each of the parties to this Agreement shall (A) execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other actions, including executing any purchase agreement, merger agreement or related documents, which the Company may reasonably request to consummate the Sale Transaction and (B) deliver, against receipt of the consideration payable in such transaction, certificates representing the Shares which such party holds of record or beneficially, with all endorsements necessary for transfer. In the event that any Stockholder fails or refuses to comply with the provisions of this Section 6, the Company and the purchaser in such transaction, at their option, may elect to proceed with such transaction notwithstanding such failure or refusal and, in such event and upon tender of the specified consideration to any such party, the rights of any such party with respect to the Shares of such party shall cease. 6.2 Approved Transaction. For purposes of this Section 6, the term "Approved Transaction" shall mean the following: (i) any proposed equity financing transaction, including without limitation, the sale of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company for consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price (as defined in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) in effect immediately prior to such financing, and, if required in connection with such financing transaction, an increase in the authorized number of shares of the Company's capital stock in connection with such proposed financing transaction; provided, however, that the terms of such proposed equity financing transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; or (ii) a Sale Transaction. 6.3 Sale Transaction. For purposes of this Section 6, the term "Sale Transaction" shall mean: (i) a proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company to, or the proposed entry into any merger or consolidation agreement with, any Third Party, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, which results in the holders of the outstanding voting power of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions owning less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities in the continuing or surviving company or entity following such transaction or transactions; provided, however, that such transaction, (A) if the sale price or transaction value is based on a valuation of the the Company, taken as a whole, of less than $85 million, the transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of no less than a majority of the Preferred Stock or (B) if the sale price or transaction value is based on a valuation of the Company, taken as a whole, of equal to or greater than $85 million, the transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors including no less than two directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock; or (ii) a proposed sale, transfer or exchange of all of the Company's outstanding capital stock to a Third Party, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, for cash or, in the case of a stock-for-stock transaction, which results in the holders of the outstanding voting power of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions owning less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities for the election of directors in the continuing or surviving company or entity following such transaction or transactions; provided, however, that such transaction, (A) if the sale price or transaction value is based on a valuation of the Company, taken as a whole, of less than $85 million, the transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of no less than a majority of the Preferred Stock or (B) if the sale price or transaction value is based on a valuation of the Company, taken as a whole, of equal to or greater than $85 million, the transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the capital stock of the Company, including the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. 7. Additional Transfer Limitations. 7.1 Legend. Each certificate representing Shares now or hereafter owned by a Stockholder or issued to any person in connection with a transfer permitted hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend: "THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDER, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY." 7.2 Stop Transfer. The Stockholders agree that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 7.1 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement. 8. Additional Parties. The Company and the Stockholders agree that, as a condition to the issuance, sale or transfer of Shares to any Person, the Company and the Stockholders, as appropriate, will require that such Person execute a counterpart of this Agreement as a "Stockholder" and such Person's shares of capital stock shall thereafter constitute "Shares" for purposes of this Agreement, unless the Board of Directors of the Company determines otherwise. 9. Financial Statements and Other Information. 9.1 The Company shall deliver to each Stockholder holding at least four percent (4%) of the Common Stock Equivalents then outstanding: (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an audited balance sheet of the Company as at the end of such year and audited statements of income and of cash flows of the Company for such year, certified by certified public accountants of established national reputation selected by the Company, and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; and (ii) within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (other than the fourth quarter), an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at the end of such quarter, unaudited statements of income and of cash flows of the Company for such fiscal quarter and for the current fiscal year to the end of such fiscal quarter and a quarterly budget and cash flow projections used in the normal management of the Company's affairs; (iii) within 30 days after the end of each month (other than the last month of any fiscal quarter), an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at the end of such month and unaudited statements of income and of cash flows of the Company for such month and for the current fiscal year to the end of such month, setting forth in comparative form the Company's projected financial statements for the corresponding periods for the current fiscal year and a monthly budget and cash flow projections used in the normal management of the Company's affairs; (iv) as soon as available, but in any event 30 days prior to the commencement of each new fiscal year, an operating plan, budget and projected financial statements, including the Company's revenues, expenses and cash position on a quarter-to-quarter basis, for such fiscal year; (v) within five days after the Company learns of any material claim or commencement of any legal or equitable proceeding, written notice of such claim or proceeding; (vi) within five days of discovery, notice of any material default in any material agreement to which the Company is a party; (vii) upon transmission, copies of all reports and communications with any other class or series of the Company's securities, or any communication to or from the Commission (other than Regulation D and similar routine exemption filings); and (viii) with reasonable promptness, such other information and data as such Preferred Stockholder may from time to time reasonably request. 9.2 The foregoing financial statements shall be prepared on a consolidated basis with the Company's subsidiaries.

Miscellaneous. 11.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 11.2 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or terminated and the observance of any term of 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, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock and the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, provided, however (a) Exhibit A hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time in accordance with Section 12.07 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement") to add information regarding Additional Investors (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) without the consent of the other parties hereto, (b) Exhibit B hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time to add information regarding additional Stockholders made party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof without the consent of the other parties hereto, and (c) this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Stockholder without the written consent of such Stockholder unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Stockholders in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to all Stockholders in the same fashion if such waiver or amendment does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Stockholders are affected differently by virtue of differences in their shareholdings). 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 11.2 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. 11.3 Assignment of Rights. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives. 11.4 Notices.

This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth herein and therein. 11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 11.8 Conflicting Agreements. Each Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and the other Stockholders that it is not a party to or bound by any agreement relating to the voting of its Shares or that otherwise directly or indirectly conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, other than the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement and the Common Stock Voting Agreement of even date herewith. The Stockholders agree not to enter into any agreement with any other Stockholder relating to the voting of Shares, and agree not to amend the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement or the Common Stock Voting Agreement, on terms that conflict with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other agreement to which any Stockholder is bound, then, as among parties to this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and the necessary parties to the Existing Agreement desire to amend the Exiting Agreement and have agreed to amend the Existing Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree hereto as follows: 1. Voting. 1.1 Investor Shares. Each of the Investors agree to hold all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Stock") registered in their respective names or beneficially owned by them as of the date hereof and any and all other shares of Preferred Stock legally or beneficially acquired by it after the date hereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Investor Shares") subject to, and to vote the Investor Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement. 1.2 Election of Directors. (a) At each election of directors in which the Investors are entitled to elect directors of the Company, the Investors shall vote all of their respective Investor Shares (at a meeting of stockholders or pursuant to an action by written consent) so as to elect to the Board of Directors of the Company: - for so long as Ridgewood Satellite LLC and its affiliates ("Ridgewood") collectively own not less than four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), two (2) directors by Ridgewood and if Ridgewood were to own less than four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares but more than two million two hundred and fifty thousand (2,250,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), one (1) director by Ridgewood; - for so long as OHB Technology AG and its affiliates ("OHB") and SES Global S.A. and its affiliates ("SES") collectively own not less than two million two hundred and fifty thousand (2,250,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), one (1) director as mutually agreed upon by OHB and SES; - for so long as PCG Satellite Investments, LLC and its affiliates ("PCG") collectively own not less than four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), two (2) directors by PCG and if PCG were to own less than four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares but more than two million two hundred and fifty thousand (2,250,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), one (1) director by PCG; - for so long as MH Investors Satellite LLC and its affiliates ("MH") collectively own not less than two million two hundred and fifty thousand (2,250,000) shares of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), one (1) director by MH; and - if the Investors are entitled to vote their Investor Shares for the election of directors elected by holders of Common Stock, for so long as the Second Amended and Restated Common Stock Voting Agreement, dated December 30, 2005, among the Company and certain holders of the Common Stock shall be effective, for the persons nominated pursuant to such agreement, as it may be amended from time to time. (b) A director shall be removed from the Board at the written request of the Investor (or Investors) which has (have) the right to designate such director hereunder (but only upon such written request). Unless prohibited by law, a director who has been elected pursuant to this Section 1.2 may not be removed unless the Investor who designated such board member has given prior written consent to such removal. 2 (c) In the event of any vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of a director who was elected pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Preferred Stock Voting Agreement, such vacancy shall be filled only in accordance with this Section 1.2.

Any amendment or waiver so effected shall be binding upon the Company, each of the parties hereto and any assignee of any such party. 3.5 Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 3.6 Successors.

EX-9.2 6 y19769exv9w2.txt EX-9.2: AMENDED & RESTATED COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 9.2 ORBCOMM INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of November 18, 2005 (this "Agreement"), amends the ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stock Voting Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2004, as amended (the "Original Agreement"), by and among ORBCOMM Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the persons and entities signatories thereto and listed on Exhibit A hereto (individually, an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors"). WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock; WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Investors necessary to amend the Original Agreement, but only upon the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, have agreed to amend the Original Agreement pursuant to Section 3.4 thereof. WHEREAS, this Agreement shall only become effective as provided in Section 3.13. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree hereto as follows: 1. Voting. 1.1 Investor Shares. Each of the Investors agree to hold all shares of Common Stock registered in their respective names or beneficially owned by them as of the date hereof and any and all other shares of Common Stock legally or beneficially acquired by it after the date hereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Investor Shares") subject to, and to vote the Investor Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement. 1.2 Election of Directors. (a) If the Company shall in good faith determine upon the advice of counsel that prior approval by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") is required to provide for the election of directors other than as set forth in the Original Agreement, then prior to such approval the Investors agree to vote all Investor Shares held by them (at a meeting of stockholders or pursuant to an action by written consent) so as to elect members of the Company's Board of Directors as set forth in the Original Agreement. (b) After FCC approval (if the Company shall in good faith determine upon the advice of counsel that prior approval by the FCC is required to provide for the election of directors other than as set forth in the Original Agreement), or if the Company determines in good faith upon the advice of counsel that such approval is not required, the Investors agree to vote all Investors Shares held by them (at a meeting of stockholders or pursuant to an action by written consent) so as to elect members of the Company's Board of Directors as follows: (i) Subject to paragraph (c) and (d), (A) for so long as Don Franco and his affiliates collectively own no less than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock, one director by Don Franco; (B) for so long as Jerome B. Eisenberg and his affiliates collectively own no less than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock, one director by Jerome B. Eisenberg; (C) for so long as Northwood Ventures LLC and its affiliates ("Northwood") collectively own no less than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock, one director by Northwood; (D) for so long as OHB Technology AG and its affiliates ("OHB") collectively own no less than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock, one director by OHB. (ii) In addition to the persons listed in paragraph 1.2(b)(i), prior to FCC approval for Hans Steininger. (c) In the event of any vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of a director who was elected pursuant to this Agreement, such vacancy shall be filled only in accordance with this Section 1.2. (d) To the extent that (A) an Investor who is entitled to designate a director pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(i) has failed to do so and a vacancy has existed on the Board for a period exceeding sixty (60) days or (B) the right of an Investor to designate one or more members of the Board pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(i) above has lapsed or terminated by reason of such Investor holding fewer than the number of Investor Shares required to designate a director, then the holders of the Investor Shares shall vote all of their Investor Shares to elect a person designated by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock to fill such director position, which such person shall be an Independent Director (as such term is defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange), unless holders of a majority of the Common Stock agree that such person is not required to be an Independent Director; provided that, any director elected to fill a vacancy pursuant to clause 1.2(d)(A) shall be subject to removal and replacement by the Investor entitled to designate a director to fill such position in accordance with Section 1.2(b) hereof. 1.3 Additional Shares. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Investor Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or the like, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Investor Shares, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement. 1.4 Addition of Investors. The Company shall not issue any Common Stock unless the purchaser of such shares has become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement by a future purchaser of Common Stock, such purchaser shall be become an "Investor" hereunder. 2 1.5 Legend. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, there shall be imprinted or otherwise placed, on certificates representing the Investor Shares the following restrictive legend (the "Legend"): "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT WHICH PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE VOTING OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY. ANY PERSON ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS." (b) The Company agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance of otherwise), the Legend from any such certificate and will place or cause to be placed the Legend on any new certificate issued to represent Investor Shares theretofore represented by a certificate carrying the Legend. 1.6 Successors. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Investor Shares. The Company shall not permit the transfer of any of the Investor Shares on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Investor Shares unless and until the person to whom such security is to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were an Investor. 1.7 Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Investors shall have full voting rights with respect to the Investor Shares in all matters subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company. 2. Termination. 2.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof through the earliest of the following dates, on which date it shall terminate in its entirety: (a) the date immediately following the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering of the Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (b) the date immediately following the closing of a sale, lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the Company's merger into or consolidation with any other corporation or other entity, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the 3 voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction; provided that this section 2.1 shall not apply to a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company; or (c) ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement. (d) upon the vote by Investors holding not less than seventy five percent (75%) of the outstanding Common Stock, provided that Don Franco and his affiliates, Jerome B. Eisenberg and his affiliates, Northwood and OHB each are among the group of Investors seeking the termination, (but only to the extent each remains entitled to elect a director). 3. Miscellaneous. 3.1 Further Action. If and whenever any Investor Shares are sold, the selling Investor or the personal representative of such Investor shall do all things and execute and deliver all documents and make all transfers, and cause any transferee of such Investor Shares to do all things and execute and deliver all documents, as may be necessary to consummate such sale consistent with this Agreement. 3.2 Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto or to its heirs, personal representatives, or assigns by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable. If any party hereto or its heirs, personal representatives, or assigns institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party or such personal representative has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists. 3.3 Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 3.4 Amendment or Waiver. This Agreement may be amended (or provisions of this Agreement waived) only by an instrument in writing signed by the Investors holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, with written notice to the Company; provided that the right of any party to designate a director, and to remove and replace a director may not be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is approved by such party, and provided further, however, that the Company may amend or supplement this Agreement, without the consent of any of the Investors to cure or correct immaterial errors or omissions (such as typographical errors or the names and titles of signatories of Investors that are entities or the addition of new shareholders to Exhibit A) which do not adversely effect the rights of Investors, so long as notice of such amendment is provided to all Investors within ten (10) days thereafter. Any amendment or waiver so effected shall be binding upon the Company, each of the parties hereto and any assignee of any such party. 3.5 Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such 4 invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 3.6 Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns, administrators, executors and other legal representatives. 3.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 3.8 Waiver. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by any party hereto to any other party shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any other party hereto or with respect to any subsequent breach. 3.9 Attorneys' Fees.

(AUG 1987) - ALTERNATE I (APR 1984) 52.243-7 NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES. (APR 1984) (a) Definitions. Contracting Officer, as used in this clause, does not include any representative of the Contracting Officer. Specifically Authorized Representative (SAR), as used in this clause, means any person the Contracting Officer has so designated by written notice (a copy of which shall be provided to the Contractor) which shall refer to this subparagraph and shall be issued to the designated representative before the SAR exercises such authority. (b) Notice. The primary purpose of this clause is to obtain prompt reporting of Government conduct that the Contractor considers to constitute a change to this contract. Except for changes identified as such in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall notify the Administrative Contracting Officer in writing promptly, within [ ] (to be negotiated) calendar days from the date that the Contractor identifies any Government conduct (including actions, inactions, and written or oral communications) that the Contractor regards as a change to the contract terms and conditions. On the basis of the most accurate information available to the Contractor, the notice shall state - (1) The date, nature, and circumstances of the conduct regarded as a change; (2) The name, function, and activity of each Government individual and Contractor official or employee involved in or knowledgeable about such conduct; (3) The identification of any documents and the substance of any oral communication involved in such conduct; (4) In the instance of alleged acceleration of scheduled performance or delivery, the basis upon which it arose; (5) The particular elements of contract performance for which the Contractor may seek an equitable adjustment under this clause, including - (i) What contract line items have been or may be affected by the alleged change; (ii) What labor or materials or both have been or may be added, deleted, or wasted by the alleged change; (iii) To the extent practicable, what delay and disruption in the manner and sequence of performance and effect on continued performance have been or may be caused by the alleged change; (iv) What adjustments to contract price, delivery schedule, and other provisions affected by the alleged change are estimated; and (6) The Contractor's estimate of the time by which the Government must respond to the Contractor's notice to minimize cost, delay or disruption of performance. (c) Continued performance. Following submission of the notice required by paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall diligently continue performance of this contract to the maximum extent possible in accordance with its terms and conditions as construed by the Contractor, unless the notice reports a direction of the Contracting Officer or a communication from a SAR of the Contracting Officer, in either of which events the Contractor shall continue performance; provided, however, that if the Contractor regards the direction or communication as a change as described in paragraph (b) of this clause, notice shall be given in the manner provided. All directions, communications, interpretations, orders and similar actions of the SAR shall be reduced to writing promptly and copies furnished to the Contractor and to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer shall promptly countermand any action which exceeds the authority of the SAR. (d) Government response. The Contracting Officer shall promptly, within [ ] (to be negotiated) calendar days after receipt of notice, respond to the notice in writing. In responding, the Contracting Officer shall either - (1) Confirm that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice constitutes a change and when necessary direct the mode of further performance; (2) Countermand any communication regarded as a change; (3) Deny that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice constitutes a change and when necessary direct the mode of further performance; or (4) In the event the Contractor's notice information is inadequate to make a decision under subparagraphs (d)(l), (2), or (3) of this clause, advise the Contractor what additional information is required, and establish the date by which it should be furnished and the date thereafter by which the Government will respond. (e) Equitable adjustments. (1) If the Contracting Officer confirms that Government conduct effected a change as alleged by the Contractor, and the conduct causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether changed or not changed by such conduct, an equitable adjustment shall be made (i) In the contract price or delivery schedule or both; and (ii) In such other provisions of the contract as may be affected. (2) The contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. In the case of drawings, designs or specifications which are defective and for which the Government is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include the cost and time extension for delay reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with the defective drawings, designs or specifications before the Contractor identified, or reasonably should have identified, such defect. When the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change confirmed by the Contracting Officer under this clause is included in the equitable adjustment, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the property. The equitable adjustment shall not include increased costs or time extensions for delay resulting from the Contractor's failure to provide notice or to continue performance as provided, respectively, in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause. Note: The phrases contract price and cost wherever they appear in the clause, may be appropriately modified to apply to cost-reimbursement or incentive contracts, or to combinations thereof.

(c) If the Contractor is required to correct or reperform, it shall be at no cost to the Government, and any services corrected or reperformed by the Contractor shall be subject to this clause to the same extent as work initially performed. If the Contractor fails or refuses to correct or reperform, the Contracting Officer may, by contract or otherwise, correct or replace with similar services and charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned to the Government thereby, or make an equitable adjustment in the contract price. (d) If the Government does not require correction or reperformance, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price.

[Graphics] 3 Use Or Disclosure Of Data Contained On This Sheet is Subject To the Restriction On The Title Page Of This Proposal HSCG23-04-R-ADA001 (ORBCOMM(R) LOGO) COAST GUARD AIS The ORBCOMM system is operated and distributed on a worldwide basis through various ORBCOMM affiliates, business partners, licensees, country representative, and Valued Added Resellers. Operations include: 12 Gateway Earth Stations located in New York, Georgia, Washington, Arizona, Curacao, Morocco, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Argentina, and Brazil; 5 international Gateway Control Centers in Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Brazil; and the US Gateway Control Center and Network Control Center located in Virginia. The Network Control Center monitors the status of all-terrestrial network elements and entire satellite constellation. ORBCOMM Inc. is a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Dulles, Virginia. 2.2 Satellites and Space Elements Today ORBCOMM has 30 operational satellites in six orbital planes between approximately 740 and 825 kilometers above the Earth. ORBCOMM has authority to launch and operate up to 48 satellites to accommodate future growth. Planes A, B, C, and D are inclined 45 degrees to the Equator and contain six to eight satellites each. Planes F and G are inclined at 70 and 108 degrees, respectively, and contain one satellite each. The satellites are equipped with a VHF and UHF communication payload capable of operation in the 137.0-150.05 MHz and the 400.075-400.125 MHz bands.

These ground network elements provide access to the space segment and an interface with public and private data networks including the Internet. They include: - Gateway Earth Station, or GES. A GES has two radomes with enclosed VHF tracking antennas (one is basically redundant), pedestals, controllers, and radio equipment. - Gateway Control Centers, or GCC. A GCC processes the message traffic and provides the interconnection with other terrestrial networks. Each GES contains a freestanding shelter, fuel tank and power generator. The GES-to-satellite links make use of single satellite uplink and downlink channels using a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol. This protocol permits several gateways to communicate simultaneously with a single satellite and vice versa. Advantages of TDMA include the ability to provide a virtually seamless transfer of satellite connections among GESs, under the centralized control of the GCC. Each GES covers an area with a radius of approximately 3,300 miles. There are four GESs in the United States, located in New York, Arizona, Georgia, and Washington State. There are GESs in Curacao, Brazil, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Morocco and Argentina. 5 Use Or Disclosure Of Data Contained On This Sheet is Subject To the Restriction On The Title Page Of This Proposal HSCG23-04-R-ADA001 (ORBCOMM(R) LOGO) COAST GUARD AIS [Graphics] The key control element of the entire global network is located in the Network Control Center (NCC) in Dulles, Virginia.

We believe the Stellar low cost 2-way data communication system will allow many new markets to afford asset-tracking capabilities on their products. The pricing is volume based from SOP thru Jan. 1, 2007 with the exception that the CY2007 pricing will become effective as soon as new, custom integrated circuit design is available and validated, but no later than Jan. 1, 2007. If production volumes exceed 220,000 units of D-2500 or 120,000 units of D-Lite prior to Jan. 1, 2007, a new price can be negotiated.

Non-Recurring Engineering Fee (NRE): $[***] The pricing in CY2007 and CY2008 will require Delphi E & S to source a custom integrated circuit. Delphi E & S is willing to discuss a payment schedule that will defer initial payment of the fee to Jan. 1, 2005. In case of cancellation of program by Stellar, Stellar will be responsible for 50% of Delphi's investment up to the date of cancellation. Timing: Delphi E & S continues to commit to a 1st quarter Start of Production (SOP) date, March 31, 2005 at the latest. Delphi E & S will continue to make efforts to have the earliest SOP feasible. Delphi Penalty for Missing SOP: Delphi is willing to accept a penalty clause to this agreement, not to exceed $[***] per month. We would request that this clause can be renegotiated if, during the upcoming requirements definition workshop, a major, unanticipated requirement is exposed that could significantly affect our SOP commitment. Beta Units: Delphi E & S shall deliver up to 200 D-2500 and 100 D-Lite for testing and installation no later than Dec. 1, 2004. Stellar understands that these parts are unvalidated and no claims can be submitted to Delphi E & S concerning functionality. The price of these Beta units will be 2X 1st year production pricing. This quote is valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. Please notify me in writing regarding your acceptance and intent to source these parts. Delphi Delco's Terms and Conditions of Sale are attached and considered as part of this quote. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at the number below.

EX-10.5 13 y19769exv10w5.txt EX-10.5: AMENDMENT TO THE PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT Exhibit 10.5 *** TEXT OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED UNDER 17 C.F.R. SECTIONS 200.80(b)(3), 200.80(b)(4) AND 230.406 Amendment Number 1 ORBCOMM CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION COMMUNICATION PAYLOAD PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT B10LG1192 dated 3 November 2004 (THE "PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT") This Amendment to the Procurement Agreement (this "Amendment") is made and entered into as of the 21st day of April, 2006 between ORBCOMM Inc, a Delaware corporation ("ORBCOMM") with its principal place of business located at 21700 Atlantic Boulevard, Dulles, VA 20166 and Orbital Sciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Orbital") with its principal place of business located at 21839 Atlantic Boulevard, Dulles, Virginia 20166 and constitutes the exercise Option A of the Procurement Agreement, as modified herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Procurement Agreement. References herein to the Procurement Agreement shall be deemed to include all Exhibits thereto provided that each of Exhibits A (Specifications), B (Statement of Work), C (Key Personnel) and E (Milestone Payments and T&M Billing Rates) are, for purposes hereof, replaced in their entirety by Exhibits A-1, B-1, C-1 and E-1 hereto and references herein and in the Procurement Agreement to these Exhibits shall be deemed to refer to such revised Exhibits. This Amendment becomes effective on the date both parties have signed this Amendment and the amount of the first Milestone Payment as defined in Exhibit E-1 is received from ORBCOMM (the "Effective Date" or "AED"). WITNESSETH WHEREAS ORBCOMM wishes to procure from Orbital, and Orbital wishes to supply to ORBCOMM, six (6) additional Automatic Identification System (AIS) Signal payloads as set forth herein. WHEREAS, ORBCOMM and Orbital have agreed to amend certain particulars of the Procurement Agreement as shall apply to this additional procurement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable considerations the receipt and adequacy of which each party hereby acknowledges, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Additional Payloads. Orbital shall design, manufacture, test and deliver one (1) payload (without antenna) engineering development unit (the "EDU Unit") and six (6) additional Automatic Identification System (AIS) Signal payloads (the "Additional Payloads") in accordance with the Statement of Work and Specifications attached hereto, including (without limitation) the delivery schedule set forth in Section 2.1.1 of the SOW (the "Delivery Schedule"). Except where expressly stated otherwise herein, references herein to the Additional Payloads shall be deemed to include the antenna subsystems associated therewith. -2- 2. Price. The firm fixed price for the six (6) Additional Payloads, each with an additional SRX, shall total $17,000,000 (the "Price"), which ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital, in accordance with Exhibit E-1 of this Amendment. Orbital acknowledges and agrees that it shall provide all associated deliverables, including the EDU Unit, documentation, and services, as specified in the Procurement Agreement, this Amendment, and the SOW without additional charge, except if and to the extent that a particular task is expressly stated as being subject to additional payment for time and material expenses. Completion of the payment milestones with respect to the Additional Payloads is set forth on Exhibit E-1 hereto (the "AP Milestones"). Completion of AP Milestones shall be determined as described in Section 5.3 of the Procurement Agreement. 3. Price Adjustments. Without prejudice to any other applicable rights and remedies under the Procurement Agreement, the following price adjustments shall apply to the Additional Payloads: (i) Late Delivery. If one or more of the Additional Payloads is not delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Amendment within fourteen (14) months of the Effective Date plus sixty (60) days grace period (no penalty shall be incurred in the grace period) for the Additional Payloads (less the antenna subsystem) and fourteen (14) months plus ninety (90) days grace period for the antenna subsystem associated therewith, starting on the first day after such applicable grace period has been exhausted, Orbital shall pay ORBCOMM liquidated delay damages of [***]% ($[***]) per day for each Additional Payload that has not been so delivered for each day of delay, up to a total amount not to exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Price ($[***]) and not to exceed $[***] per day and inclusive of the penalties described in clause 3.(iv) below. (ii) On Time or Early Delivery. If the EDU Unit and all of the Additional Payloads are delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Amendment by the date specified in the Delivery Schedule, ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital a single on-time delivery incentive of 1.2% of the Price ($204,000). In addition, if all of the Additional Payloads are so delivered on time, for each day that the Additional Payloads are so delivered early, ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital 0.01% of Price ($1700) per day of early delivery, up to a total amount not to exceed $100,000 for such early delivery (for all Additional Payloads combined). (iii) Calculation of On-time, Late and Early Delivery. Timely delivery of an Additional Payload shall require the timely delivery of both the payload unit (without the antenna) and the associated antenna (A) within fourteen (14) months of the Effective Date plus sixty (60) days grace period for the Additional Payloads (less the antenna subsystem) and fourteen (14) months plus ninety (90) days grace period for the antenna subsystem associated therewith, for purposes of clause 3(i) above and (B) in accordance with the Delivery Schedule for purposes of clause 3(ii) above. For purposes of calculating late delivery penalties, however, late deliveries of separate items associated with the same Additional Payload shall be determined by the greatest lateness of any single item, but shall not be additive. For example, if the first flight -3- Additional Payload (less the antenna subsystem) is delivered seventy-five (75) days late, and the first flight antenna subsystem is delivered one hundred (100) days late, the late charge shall be calculated on the basis that the first Additional Payload was delivered seventy-five (75) days late, or fifteen (15) days worth of late charges. Conversely, for purposes of calculating early delivery incentives, the least early item associated with a particular Additional Payload shall be controlling. Accordingly, if the EDU is delivered twenty (20) days early; the first flight payload (less antenna) is delivered ten (10) days early, and the first flight antenna is delivered five (5) days early (and assuming all the Additional Payloads were delivered on time), the early delivery incentive shall be calculated on the basis of the first Additional Payload having been delivered five (5) days early. If and to the extent that a delay in delivery is excused by force majeure then Orbital shall not be responsible for late charges under clause 3(i) above for the period of such force majeure delay. The time required for delivery in order for Orbital to achieve on-time or early delivery incentives under clause 3(ii) above shall, however, not be extended by force majeure delays. (iv) Power and Weight. If ORBCOMM agrees to accept Additional Payloads that exceed the maximum operating power and/or weight limits set forth in the Specifications, then Orbital shall pay ORBCOMM as compensation therefor, $10,000 per Kg in excess of 20.31 Kg (inclusive of 1kg grace) for the total Additional Payload mass as set forth in Section 4.5.4 of the Specifications and $10,000 per 5 watts in excess of 120 watts (inclusive of 5 watts grace) of total Additional Payload power as set forth in Section 4.5.5 of the Specifications, in each case per Additional Payload, and in each case pro rated for partial amounts in excess of such maximum weight and/or power. The maximum payment that shall be paid for exceeding the power and/or weight limits shall not exceed $100,000. (v) Additional Environmental Testing of the Integrated Flight Payloads. If ORBCOMM directs (in writing) Orbital to perform the additional environmental testing for flight payloads as set forth in Section 6.3.2.2 of the SOW, ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital an additional amount of $94,000 for the first Additional Payload so tested at ORBCOMM's direction and an amount of $26,000 for each subsequent Additional Payload thereafter. In addition, Orbital shall be allowed up to fourteen (14 days of schedule relief as necessary to accomplish such testing. ORBCOMM's direction for this additional testing must be received within six (6) months after the Effective Date. (vi) Time and Material Charges. All time and material charges, if applicable, shall be calculated in accordance with Exhibit E-1 hereto. Where insofar in this regard it becomes necessary to calculate "costs," costs shall be limited to reasonable, out of pocket, and documented costs actually incurred, and only insofar as the costs exceed the cost that would have had to been incurred by Orbital in any event without additional charge. -4- (vii) Holdback Charge. As shown in Exhibit E-1, four percent (4%) of the Price ($680,000) (the "Holdback Amount") shall be held back by ORBCOMM until one-year (12 months) after the successful completion of payload IOT for the Additional Payloads. Said Holdback Amount shall be paid by ORBCOMM to Orbital if all of the Additional Payloads are successfully operating in accordance with their Specifications on said first anniversary date. In order to holdback such amounts, ORBCOMM shall, not later than thirty (30) days prior to launch, deliver to ORBITAL a performance bond or letter of credit to receive such payment, failing which ORBCOMM shall make the Holdback Payment to Orbital or a mutually agreeable third party escrow agent at that time, but subject to refund by Orbital (or release to ORBCOMM by such escrow agent), on a pro rata basis, if one or more of the Additional Payloads are not so successfully operating on said first anniversary date. 4. Additional Options. ORBCOMM shall have the option to require Orbital to manufacture, test and deliver to ORBCOMM up to two (2) Additional Payloads (in addition to those delivered pursuant to clause 1 above) in accordance with the SOW and the Specifications (the "Optional Payloads"). The firm fixed price for each Optional Payload, each with an additional SRX, shall be $2,200,000. Delivery of each Optional Payload(less the antenna subsystem) will be fourteen (14) months (plus sixty (60) days grace period) and fourteen (14) months (plus ninety (90) days grace period) for the antenna subsystem associated therewith, after ORBCOMM's written direction is received exercising this option and the first milestone payment for each Optional Payload in the amount of $200,000 is received. The payment schedule for the Optional Payloads shall correspond as closely as possible (in terms of time and percentage of total price) to the AP Milestones set forth on Exhibit E-1. This option must be exercised, if at all and at ORBCOMM's sole discretion, no later than three (3) months after the Effective Date with respect to each Additional Option. This option may be exercised by ORBCOMM in whole or in part. Except as specified above, all references herein to Additional Payloads shall be deemed to include the Optional Payloads to the extent this option is exercised by ORBCOMM. 5. Taxes, Delivery, Title. Orbital shall be responsible for all United States (including political subdivisions) tax payments, liabilities, or claims required by present or future laws and regulations. ORBCOMM shall be responsible for all non-U.S. (including political subdivisions) taxes, liabilities, or claims, and any customs duties, if any, levied upon or measured by the sale, the sales price, or the use of the equipment deliverable under this Amendment required by present or future laws and regulations. Transfer of title to each deliverable item will pass to ORBCOMM prior to each deliverable item entering non-U.S. territory and after each deliverable item leaves the United States. Orbital shall agree to make reasonable changes in the Procurement Agreement and this Amendment, such as modifying the place of delivery and/or delaying the passage of title, as ORBCOMM may request in writing, in order to improve the tax efficiencies with respect to the Additional Payloads, provided that any such change shall be economically neutral to Orbital. ORBCOMM shall indemnify and hold harmless Orbital from and against any damages as a result of Orbital holding title to any Additional Payloads following delivery thereof to the shipper at Orbital's facility. -5- 6. Payment Terms and Invoicing. Section 5.1 - Invoicing of the Procurement Agreement is hereby amended to add the following after the second sentence: " Payments shall be due net 10 days for those payments defined in Exhibit E-1". 7. Insurance. Orbital shall, at ORBCOMM's request, provide reasonable assistance to ORBCOMM, in seeking to obtain launch and/or in-orbit insurance and/or in pursuing any claim thereunder, including participating in a reasonable number of technical presentations to insurers and providing such documentation as may be reasonably requested. 8. Corrections. The fourth sentence of Section 6.2 of the Procurement Agreement is hereby amended to be consistent with the last sentence of Section 6.3(a), ..i.e., the decision as to how corrections shall be mutually agreed by ORBCOMM and Orbital. In addition, if integration testing reveals defects in the Additional Payloads resulting from a defect in workmanship or materials or noncompliance with the SOW or Specifications, Orbital shall be responsible, at its own expense, for the timely repair and correction of the Additional Payloads, if practical at the facility of the integrator (with the time spent by its personnel not charged against then allocated time to ORBCOMM) and if not, at Orbital's facilities, with all transportation, insurance, and risk of loss in transit to and from the integrator's facilities and those of Orbital borne by Orbital. If such remedies are required, the elapsed time needed to remedy such defects or noncompliance shall be added to the actual delivery date to establish the delivery of such items for the purpose of calculating a revised delivery date for the purpose of assessing incentives and penalties. For example, if an Additional Payload is delivered in AED plus 330 days, such a defect or noncompliance is revealed in AED plus 360 days and remedied by AED plus 380 days, delivery shall have been deemed to occur on AED plus 350 days (i.e. 20 additional days) for the purpose of assessing incentives and penalties under clauses 3(i) and 3(ii) above. 9. Security Interest; Property Accounting; Source Code Escrow. As collateral for the timely performance by Orbital of its work hereunder, Orbital hereby grants to ORBCOMM a first priority security interest in the work and work in progress and any proceeds therefrom with respect to the Additional Payloads. ORBCOMM agrees to execute any release of such security interest when Orbital has transferred to it title to the Additional Payloads and all deliverables associated therewith. Orbital shall execute such documentation thereof as ORBCOMM may reasonably request. Supplies, prints, materials, components, subsystems, and systems as associated with such work shall be properly inventoried and identified as associated with such work in accordance with Orbital's normal inventory control practice, documentation of which shall be subject to inspection by ORBCOMM, and shall not be redeployed to other programs without ORBCOMM's consent. Orbital shall, in addition, contemporaneously with its entry into this Amendment, execute (as the "Depositor") and thereafter perform the obligations of a Depositor under the "Preferred Escrow Agreement" with Iron Mountain and ORBCOMM (as the "Preferred Beneficiary"), attached hereto as Exhibit G. ORBCOMM agrees that it shall pay Iron Mountain's fees under the Preferred Escrow Agreement. Subject to -6- ORBCOMM's obligation to pay Iron Mountain's fees, Orbital agrees that ORBCOMM shall have the right to adjust the level of work to be performed by Iron Mountain and/or terminate the Preferred Escrow Agreement in accordance with its terms and Orbital shall execute and deliver such instructions to Iron Mountain as ORBCOMM may reasonably request to reflect ORBCOMM's decisions in this regard. 10. Legal Compliance. Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to the performance of this Amendment. 11. Specific Performance. Nothing in the Procurement Agreement or this Amendment shall be deemed to bar either party from seeking specific performance of the other party's obligations hereunder. 12. Force Majeure. The force majeure provision of the Procurement Agreement is hereby replaced with the following: "Section 12.2 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for failure or delay in performance or delivery if such failure or delay is the result of an act of God, terrorism, riot, or other hostilities, act of the public enemy, embargo, governmental act, orders or regulations, fire, war, riot, strikes, hurricane or other catastrophic weather condition, delay of spacecraft bus for integration, delay of launch or other cause of a similar nature that is beyond the control of such party claiming force majeure. 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 necessitated by such circumstances. Failure to agree on an equitable extension shall be considered a dispute and resolved in accordance with Section 12.3 hereof. Any failure or delay that could have been avoided or greater minimized by the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence and care (including work around solutions to minimize the effect of a force majeure event)." 13. Key Personnel. Exhibit C to the Procurement Agreement is hereby updated as it relates to the work to be performed for the Additional Payloads by Exhibit C-1 hereto. 14. Public Announcement. Except as may be required by applicable laws, neither party will make a public announcement regarding this Amendment without the approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. 15. Statement of Work. A revised Statement of Work ("SOW") with respect to the Additional Payloads and all associated deliverables, documentation and services is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. 16. Specifications. Revised Specifications ("Specifications") with respect to the Additional Payloads and all associates deliverables, documentation and services are attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. 17. Rights and Obligations under Procurement Agreement. Except insofar as the terms and conditions of the Procurement Agreement, including all associated exhibits, -7- may be expressly in conflict with the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of such Procurement Agreement (also sometimes internally referenced therein) shall remain in full force and effect and apply, in context, to the parties' rights and obligations vis-a-vis the Additional Payloads. In the event of any inconsistency or contradiction between the terms of this Amendment and the Procurement Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail and control. On and after the date hereof each reference in the Procurement Agreement to (a) "this Agreement", "this order", "herein", or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Procurement Agreement as amended hereby; (b) "Milestone(s)" shall mean "AP Milestone(s)" for purposes of the AP Milestones; and (c) "Payload" (including without limitation in both clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.4 of the Procurement Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to each Additional Payload. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first above written. ORBITAL SCIENCES CORPORATION By: /s/ R.A.

Promptly (but in no event later than five business days) after the receipt by the Company of any written demand pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will give written notice of such demand to all the Holders (the "Demand Registration Notice"). The Company shall (x) cause to be filed as soon as practicable and in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery to the Company of the Demand Registration Notice, a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities, which the Company has been so requested to register by the Demanding Holders, (y) effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Included Securities as expeditiously as 4 possible and use its best efforts to have such registration become and remain effective as provided in Section 4 hereof, and (z) refrain from filing any other registration statement, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms) with respect to any other securities of the Company until such date which is sixty (60) days following effectiveness of the registration statement filed in response to the Demand Registration Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to delay any Demand Registration for a single period of not more than 90 days after the date of any request to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Demand Registration, if, at the time of such request, the Company is preparing, or within thirty days thereafter engages an underwriter, and commences in good faith to prepare, a Registration Statement for a public offering (other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans) which is in fact filed and becomes effective within 90 days after the date the Demanding Holders provided the written registration request, or is engaged in any material acquisition or divestiture or other business transaction with a third party which the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith would be adversely affected by the Demand Registration to the material detriment of the Company. The Company shall not exercise the delay right provided in the immediately preceding sentence more than twice in any 12-month period. The Company shall select the underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter shall be one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks reasonably acceptable to the Demanding Holders. Each Holder of Included Securities shall be permitted to withdraw all or any part of the Included Securities of such holder from any Demand Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Demand Registration; provided, that such Demand Registration shall count as a Demand Registration unless the Holders of the Included Securities pay all expenses referred to in Section 9(a) in connection with the withdrawn registration; provided, further, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders of the Included Securities have learned of a material adverse change in the conditions, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to this Section 2(a). (b) Limitations. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), the Company shall be required to effect no more than two Demand Registrations; provided, that the Holders shall be entitled to additional Demand Registrations if such additional Demand Registrations would be eligible for registration on Form S-3 after the Company qualifies for Form S-3 (any Demand Registration eligible for registration on Form S-3 shall not be counted toward the two Demand Registration limit set forth in this sentence); and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one such Demand Registrations on Form S-3 in any twelve month period and that the Company shall not be required to effect any such Demand Registration on Form S-3 if any such Demand Registration on Form S-3 shall result in an offering price to the public of less than $20 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Demand Registration shall not be counted toward the two Demand Registration limit set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2(b) if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter's cut-back provisions, less than 50% of the total number of Included Securities that the Series A Holders and Series B Holders have collectively requested to be included in a Demand Registration are so included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sagamore Hill Hub Fund Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, "Sagamore") and the PCG Entities 5 shall have an independent right to additional Demand Registrations that would be eligible for registration on Form S-3 after the Company qualifies for Form S-3; provided, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one such Demand Registration requested by Sagamore or the PCG Entities, as the case may be, on Form S-3 in any twelve month period and that Sagamore or the PCG Entities, as the case may be, will pay the expenses of such registration if such registration shall result in an aggregate offering price to the public of less than $1 million. Any registration requested by Sagamore or the PCG Entities pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not have the effect of limiting the number of or timing of any Demand Registration requested pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(b). (c) Additional Requirements. Any registration initiated pursuant to Section 2(a) shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless and until a registration statement with respect to all Registrable Securities to be sold in connection therewith shall have become effective and remained effective for a period of 180 days, or, if a shorter time until all of the Included Securities not withdrawn by the Holders from the registration shall have been sold (unless all Included Securities are withdrawn by the Holders thereof prior to the effectiveness and the Company has performed its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects, in which case such registration will count as a Demand Registration unless the Holders of the Included Securities pay all expenses referred to in Section 9(a) in connection with the withdrawn registration, subject to the last clause of Section 2(a)), (ii) if after it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other Governmental Authority for any reason not attributable to the holders of Included Securities, such that no sales are possible thereunder for a period of ten consecutive days or more, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of the holders of Included Securities. (d) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters of any Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their good faith judgment the number of securities to be included in the Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in the offering in light of marketing factors or because the sale of a greater number would adversely affect the price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Demand Registration, then the total number of securities the underwriters advise can be included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated (i) first, to each Holder of Included Securities who is a Series B Holder in proportion to such holder's ownership of the total number of Included Securities held by Series B Holders (in their capacity as Series B Holders); (ii) second, to each Holder of Included Securities who is a Series A Holder in proportion to such holder's ownership of the total number of Included Securities held by Series A Holders (in their capacity as Series A Holders); (iii) third to each Holder of Included Securities who is a Common Stock Holder in proportion to such holder's ownership of the total number of Included Securities held by Common Stock Holders (in their capacity as Common Stock Holders); and (iv) fourth, among any securities of the Company the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account or register for sale by any Person (other than a holder of Included Securities) in such Demand Registration in accordance with any contractual provisions binding on the Company and/or the holders of such securities or, if no contractual provisions apply, as the Company may determine. 6 (e) Termination. This Section 2 shall terminate with respect to the Stock or other securities that have been sold in a Public Sale SECTION 3. Piggyback Registrations. (a) Exercise of Rights. At any time should the Company propose to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale for its own account (other than in connection with a Demand Registration, or the registration of securities issuable pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase or similar plan), the Company shall give the Holders notice of such proposed registration (a "Piggyback Registration") at least 30 days prior to the filing of a registration statement in connection therewith. At the written request of any Holder delivered to the Company within 15 days after the receipt of the notice from the Company, which request shall state the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder wishes to sell or distribute publicly in the Piggyback Registration, the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration (the "Piggyback Securities") as expeditiously as possible and use its best efforts to have such registration become and remain effective as provided in Section 4 hereof. Each Holder of Piggyback Securities shall be permitted to withdraw all or any part of the Piggyback Securities of such holder from any Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Piggyback Registration; provided, in the case of an underwritten offering, that such holder is permitted to do so by the managing underwriters or pursuant to any agreement with such managing underwriters. (b) Additional Requirements. No Holder shall be entitled to include any securities in any underwritten Piggyback Registration unless such Holder shall have agreed in writing to sell such securities on the same terms and conditions as shall apply to the securities (other than Piggyback Securities) to be included in such Piggyback Registration. If a Piggyback Registration is to cover, in whole or in part, any underwritten distribution, then the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Piggyback Securities to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities (other than Piggyback Securities) being sold through the underwriters. (c) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters of any Piggyback Registration advise the Company in writing that in their good faith judgment the number of securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in the offering in light of marketing factors or because the sale of a greater number would adversely affect the price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Piggyback Registration, then the total number of securities the underwriters advise can be included in such Piggyback Registration shall be allocated (i) first, to the securities of the Company the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account; (ii) second, to each holder of Piggyback Securities who is a Series B Holder in proportion to such Holder's ownership of the total number of Piggyback Securities held by Series B Holders (in their capacity as Series B Holders) ; (iii) third to each holder of Piggyback Securities who is a Series A Holder in proportion to such Holder's ownership of the total number of Piggyback Securities held by Series A Holders (in their capacity as Series A Holders); (iv) fourth to each holder of Piggyback Securities who is a Common Stock Holder in proportion to such holder's ownership of the total number of Piggyback Securities held by Common Stock Holders (in their capacity as Common Stock Holders); and (v) fifth, among any securities of the Company the Company proposes to register for sale by any Person (other than a holder of 7 Piggyback Securities) in such Piggyback Registration in accordance with any contractual provisions binding on the Company and/or the holders of such securities or, if no contractual provisions apply, as the Company may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless such Piggyback Registration is the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, the number of Piggyback Securities permitted to be included in such Piggyback Registration shall be at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration. SECTION 4. Registration Covenants of the Company. If any Registrable Securities of any Holder are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and cooperate in the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered and shall as expeditiously as possible: (a) (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (including all amendments and supplements thereto, a "Registration Statement") and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective; (b) prior to the filing described above in paragraph (a), furnish to each Holder participating in such offering copies of the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto and any prospectus forming a part thereof, which documents shall be subject to the review of counsel representing the Holders; (c) notify each such Holder, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement becomes effective or when any amendment or supplement or any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement has been filed; (d) notify each Holder participating in such offering promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information; (e) (i) advise each Holder participating in such offering after the Company shall receive notice or otherwise obtain knowledge of the issuance of any order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (ii) promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal promptly if a stop order should be issued; (f) (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus forming a part thereof as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for a period of time necessary to permit each Holder participating in such offering to dispose of all its Registrable Securities and (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by each such Holder set forth in the Registration Statement; (g) furnish to each Holder participating in such offering such number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (including such preliminary prospectus) and such other documents 8 such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; (h) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as determined by the underwriters after consultation with the Company and the Holders participating in the offering and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities (provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (h), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction); (i) notify each Holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly upon the Company's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and within 10 days of such notice, file a supplement to such prospectus with the SEC (unless the Company is exercising the Black Out Right as set forth below, in which case such filing shall take place within 50 days of such notice); (j) If the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable judgment believes it may possess material non-public information the disclosure of which in its reasonable judgment would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, then no later than 50 days after first receipt of a Holder's request (a "Black Out Right"), the Company shall prepare and furnish to such Holders a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the sellers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; provided, however, that the Company, during any 12-month period, may not impose more than two Black Out Rights and the period of such Black Out Rights shall not exceed 50 days in the aggregate; (k) if the Registrable Securities are not then listed on a securities exchange and if the NASD is reasonably likely to permit the reporting of the Registrable Securities on the Nasdaq National Market (the "NNM"), use its best efforts, consistent with the then current corporate structure of the Company, to facilitate the reporting of transactions in the Registrable Securities on the NNM; (l) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for all the Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; 9 (m) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as the Holders participating in such offering or the underwriters shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement; (n) (i) make available for inspection by the Holders participating in such offering, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by such Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement; (o) furnish to each Holder participating in the offering a signed counterpart, addressed to the Holders (or to the underwriters, in the case of any underwritten offering), of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, and (ii) a "comfort" letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in the Registration Statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the Registration Statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the "comfort" letter), as are customarily covered (at the time of such registration) in opinions of issuer's counsel and in "comfort" letters, respectively, delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities; (p) cause senior representatives of the Company to participate in any "road show" or "road shows" reasonably requested by any underwriter of an underwritten or "best efforts" offering of any Registrable Securities; (q) notify each Holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly upon the Company's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such Holder, prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the sellers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and (r) use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. SECTION 5. Cooperation by the Holders. (a) Lock-Up Agreements. Each Holder, if and for the period of time the managing underwriters so request in connection with any underwritten registration of Registrable Securities, will not, to the extent requested by such underwriters during the time period specified, effect any Public Sale or other distribution of any 10 equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of such underwriters; provided, however, that (i) such market stand-off time period shall not extend beyond 180 days following the date of the final prospectus and 30 days prior to the date of the final prospectus, (ii) any such market stand-off or lock-up agreements contains reasonable and customary exceptions, (iii) each officer and director of the Company and each holder of at least 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) shall enter into similar lock-up agreements or otherwise be bound by similar provisions, (iv) such restrictions shall not apply to equity securities purchased in the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock or in the open market following such offering, and (v) any Holder may transfer any such shares to any of its Affiliates, provided such Affiliates agree to comparable restrictions on transfer of such shares. As a condition to the obligation of the Holders under this Section 5(a), the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the "stand off" obligation of the Holders under this Section 5(a), and any agreement entered into by the Holders as a result of their obligations under this Section 5(a), to allow for periodic early releases of portions of the securities subject to such Holders' "stand off" obligations, which may be conditioned upon the trading price of the Common Stock and shall in any event be subject to approval of the managing underwriters; provided however, that such Holders individually own less than 0.50% of the Common Stock Equivalents (and not to exceed 5.0% of the Common Stock Equivalents in the aggregate) and that such Holders are not executive officers of the Company (unless, in each case, the Majority of the Series B Preferred Stock agree otherwise). (b) Cooperation. Each prospective seller of Registrable Securities will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company may reasonably require and which is customary in such transactions from such seller, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities. The failure of any prospective seller of Registrable Securities to furnish any information or documents in accordance with any provision contained in this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Company under this Agreement to any remaining sellers who furnish such information and documents unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company or the underwriters such failure impairs or may impair the viability of the offering or the legality of the registration statement or the underlying offering. (c) Suspension by Company. Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement will not (until further notice) effect sales of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement after receipt of written notice from the Company to suspend sales to permit the Company to correct or update such registration statement or prospectus (which obligation to correct or update the Company will satisfy promptly); but the obligations of the Company with respect to maintaining any registration statement current and effective shall be extended by a period of days equal to the period such suspension is in effect. SECTION 6. Additional Covenants of the Company. (a) Rule 144 Information. After the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, but only for so long as the Company is so subject, the Company shall take all actions necessary to enable the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation 11 hereafter adopted by the SEC, including filing on a timely basis all reports required to be filed by the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. (b) Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company. The Company agrees, unless it obtains the consent of the managing underwriter(s) of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, not to effect any Public Sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity securities, during the period commencing on the 30th day prior to, and ending on the 180th day following, the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, except in connection with any such underwritten registration, or pursuant to any registration statements on Form S-8 or the then equivalent form. (c) Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Of Series B Preferred Stock, enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which grants such holder or prospective holder rights to include securities of the Company in any registration statement, unless (i) such right to include securities in a registration initiated by the Company or by Demanding Holders are not more favorable than the rights granted to Common Stock Holders under Section 2 and 3 hereof, and (ii) no rights are granted to initiate a registration, other than a registration pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 in which Holders are entitled to include Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis with such holders based on the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by such holders. SECTION 7. Preemptive Rights. (a) The Company hereby grants to each Holder the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A Holder's Pro Rata Share, for purposes of this purchase right, shall mean the total number of New Securities to be issued times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Stock Equivalents owned by such Holder immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities. The rights preemptive rights granted to each Holder pursuant to this Section 7 shall terminate upon the consummation of a public offering of the Company's Common Stock registered under th Securities Act. (b) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Holder written notice of its intention (each a "Notice of Sale"), describing the type of New Securities, the maximum number of New Securities to be issued, and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Holder shall have twenty (20) days after such Notice of Sale is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase such Holder's pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. 12 (c) The preemptive rights set forth in this Section 7 may be waived, before or after a Notice of Sale is delivered, (i) (A) as to the Common Stock, by vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the Common Stock having preemptive rights under this Agreement, voting as a separate class, (B) as to the Series B Stock, by vote or written consent of holders of at least two-thirds of the Series B Preferred Stock having preemptive rights under this Agreement, voting as a separate class; and (C) as to the Series A Stock, by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Stock having preemptive rights under this Agreement, voting as a separate class, or (ii) by affirmative vote of the board of directors of the Company in which a majority of the directors designated by each of the holders of Common Stock and Series A Stock, and all of the directors designated by the Series B Stockholders, agree. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7 shall only be exercisable by Holders who are accredited investors (as such term is defined under the Securities Act). (e) In the event the Holders fail to exercise fully the purchase right within such twenty (20)-day period, the Company shall have one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting which the Holders' purchase right set forth in this Section 7 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Notice of Sale. In the event the Company has not sold within such 120-day period or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the qualifying Holders in the manner provided in this Section 7. (f) The issuance of the New Securities to the Holders pursuant to this Section 7 above shall be made at the registered office of the Company upon the latter of (i) the closing of the sale any New Securities to new investors in the Company pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof or (ii) a mutually satisfactory date not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable acceptance period provided for in Section 7(b) hereof. Delivery of a certificate for the New Securities shall be made against payment of the subscription price therefor. SECTION 8. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each selling Holder, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such Registrable Securities, each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder or any such underwriter within meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and their respective directors, officers, agents, partners, employees, stockholders, members and representatives (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact 13 contained in any registration statement under which the Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse each such Indemnitee for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to any Indemnitee to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Indemnitee furnished to the Company in a writing duly provided by or on behalf of such Indemnitee specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereon) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, to the Person asserting a claim based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or, omission was corrected in such final prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities of each Indemnitee. (b) Indemnification by Holders. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each Holder offering Registrable Securities under such registration statement, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 8(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company signing such registration statement and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act with respect to (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or (ii) omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder as a stockholder of the Company furnished to the Company in a writing duly executed by such Holder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer by the seller of the securities of the Company being registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder's liability under this Section 8(b) 14 with respect to any particular registration shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder in such registration. (c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified parties on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or violations which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities or actions in respect thereof referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation of any Holder obliged to make contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) shall be several and not joint, and no such Holder shall be obliged to make contribution in excess of an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder in such registration. (d) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 8(a) or 8(b), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 8(a) or 8(b), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, unless in the opinion of such indemnified party's counsel a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties or other indemnified party may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party or any other indemnified party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the 15 indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding affected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or which involves relief other than the payment of money damages. (e) Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. SECTION 9. Miscellaneous. (a) Expenses. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(a), the Company shall pay all expenses of the Holders in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, including without limitation all registration, filing and NASD fees, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, all messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders and the Company and of its independent public accountants (including the expenses of comfort letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance) and any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, but excluding any underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, relating to the Registrable Securities being sold by a Holder, which shall be paid by such Holder. (b) Effective Date. This Agreement shall only come into effect upon the Intial Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). (c) Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that the Holders' damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for the breach or non-performance of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, and agree in the event of such breach that the aggrieved party may obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief restraining the Company from such breach or compelling specific performance of such provision, and, to the extent permissible under applicable statutes and rules of procedure, a temporary injunction may be granted immediately upon the commencement of any such suit without proof of actual harm. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting any party from pursuing other remedies available at law or equity for such breach or non-performance. (d) Notices. Notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by facsimile as follows: if to the Holders: To the address set forth on the relevant counterpart signature page hereto 16 if to the Company: ORBCOMM Inc. 2115 Linwood Avenue, Suite 100 Fort Lee, NJ 07924 Attention: Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel Facsimile: 703-433-6400 with a copy to: Chadbourne & Parke LLP 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Attention: Alejandro R.

(g) Waivers and Amendments. No failure or delay of the Holders or the Company in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Holders and the Company hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Holders or the Company would otherwise have.

Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. (i) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

(k) Counterparts.

RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL 8.1 Except as provided in sub-clause 8.2 below and except as suspended in respect of any transfer by a resolution passed by the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares (excluding for this purpose the Transferor's 10 Shares) no holder of Shares with aggregate votes attributable to such Shares equalling or exceeding 2% (two per cent) of the total votes, calculated at the time a Transfer Notice (as defined below) would, if required, have to be issued, attributable to all Shares then in issue shall be entitled to transfer or otherwise dispose of its Shares or of any interest in them (including by creating any Encumbrance or trust over them) without first offering such Shares for transfer to the other Shareholders. 8.2 A Shareholder (the "TRANSFEROR") may transfer any or all of its Shares (the "SALE SHARES") to: 8.2.1 a person approved in writing by the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares (excluding for this purpose the Transferor's Shares); 8.2.2 a Permitted Transferee; 8.2.3 (if the Transferor is an entity) to its members (or members or its members), partners or any wholly-owned subsidiary; 8.2.4 a person entitled to the shares by operation of law; provided that in the case of any transfer to be effected pursuant to sub-clauses 8.2.2, 8.2.3 or 8.2.4, the Transferor or the proposed transferee, in the case of transmission by operation of law shall inform the Company of such transfer before it is effected and the Permitted Transferee, or proposed transferee shall execute a Deed of Adherence, provided further that in the case of any transfer under either sub-clause 8.2.2 or 8.2.3 to a person that meets the relevant criteria on the day that the transfer is registered, if at any time that person ceases to meet such criteria, that person shall be deemed to have issued a notice under sub-clause 8.3, with the Specified Terms being such terms as the Directors determine to be fair at the time they receive actual notice of the facts giving rise to the deemed notice and the Offer Period being 90 Business Days of the Directors becoming so aware. 8.3 (a) A Transferor that wishes to transfer its Shares (other than as permitted in sub-clause 8.2 above) shall give notice to the other Shareholders (the "ONGOING SHAREHOLDERS") specifying the details of the proposed transfer, including the identity of the proposed transferee and the price and other terms (the "SPECIFIED TERMS") for the Sale Shares offered to it by a person (the "OFFEROR"), whether or not a Shareholder, under a bona fide offer, capable of unconditional acceptance by the Transferor in the next 90 Business Days and shall invite the Ongoing Shareholders to notify the Transferor during the Offer Period (as defined below) whether they are willing to purchase the Sale Shares (a "TRANSFER NOTICE"). A copy of the Transfer Notice shall be served on the Company. (b) A Transfer Notice may not be revoked and shall remain open for acceptance by the Ongoing Shareholders for a period (the "OFFER PERIOD") of 30 Business Days from the date of the Transfer Notice. 11 (c) Within 30 Business Days of the date of the Transfer Notice, each Ongoing Shareholder wishing to purchase Sale Shares, shall give a notice to the Transferor saying such Ongoing Shareholder wishes to purchase all, but not any lesser part of the number of Sale Shares equal to the proportion of the Sale Shares in the Transfer Notice which the number of Shares held by such Ongoing Shareholder at the date of the Transfer Notice bears to the total number of Shares held by the Ongoing Shareholders at the date of the Transfer Notice, on terms at least as favourable to the Transferor as the Specified Terms. (d) If at the expiry of the Offer Period, all the Sale Shares have not been applied for by the Ongoing Shareholders, the Transferor shall be entitled (but not obliged) to offer (by means of a further Transfer Notice (the "EXCESS TRANSFER NOTICE") the Excess Shares to those Ongoing Shareholders that have indicated that they will purchase their due proportion of the Sale Shares by reference to their holdings at the date of the Transfer Notice and the Offer shall, for this second offer remain open (the "SECOND OFFER PERIOD") for a further 10 Business Days from the date of the Excess Transfer Notice. (e) On the expiry of the Second Offer Period, if an Ongoing Shareholder has notified the Transferor that it wishes to purchase a portion of the Sale Shares, such Ongoing Shareholder shall be bound to pay the purchase price for, and to accept a transfer of, such portion of the Sale Shares and the Transferor shall be bound, on payment of the purchase price, to transfer such portion of the Sale Shares to the Transferee provided that the Transferor shall not be bound to sell to any Ongoing Shareholder unless all the Sale Shares have been agreed to be purchased by one or more Ongoing Shareholders. (f) If at the expiry of the Second Offer Period, the Ongoing Shareholders have not notified the Transferor that they wish to purchase the remaining Sale Shares ("THE EXCESS SHARES") on the Specified Terms, the Transferor, may at any time within a period of 30 Business Days after the expiry of the Second Offer Period transfer all (or any part) of the Sale Shares to the Offeror on terms at least as favourable to the Transferor as the Specified Terms under a bona fide sale to the Offeror without any deduction, rebate or allowance to the Offeror. 8.4 If, as a result of the valid transfer of the Shares of the Shareholder under this Clause, a person would hold for the first time or cease to hold, any Shares, then: 8.4.1 (other than in the case of an existing Shareholder) the transfer will not take effect until the transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a Deed of Adherence; and 8.4.2 the Transferor shall notify the Company of such transfer as soon as practicable after the transfer takes effect. 12 8.5 If, as a result of the valid transfer of a Shareholder's Shares, a person ceases to hold any Shares, then: 8.5.1 the Transferor, who ceases to hold any Shares as a result of a transfer of Shares will cease to be a Shareholder; 8.5.2 the rights of the Transferor under this Agreement will be passed to the transferee (without prejudice to any obligation in this Agreement expressed to be ongoing and without prejudice to liability for any prior breach). 9. TAG-ALONG AND DRAG-ALONG 9.1 (a) If the Ongoing Shareholders do not exercise their options to purchase all of the Transferor's Sale Shares and the Transferor still intends to proceed with the proposed transfer of the Sale Shares to the Offeror, the Transferor shall offer each Ongoing Shareholder the opportunity to require that completion of the Transfer by the Transferor shall be conditional upon the Offeror purchasing from such Ongoing Shareholders a pro rata portion of each such Ongoing Shareholders' Shares, based upon the number of Shares owned by the Transferor and the Ongoing Shareholders exercising rights pursuant to this sub-clause 9.1 (a "TAG-ALONG SALE"). The Ongoing Shareholders may exercise this right by delivering to the Transferor a Tag-Along Notice (as defined below) in accordance with sub-clause 9.1(c) below. The Ongoing Shareholders delivering such a notice are hereinafter referred to as the "TAG-ALONG SHAREHOLDERS". (b) In connection with a Tag-Along Sale, (i) the only representations and warranties which any Tag-Along Shareholder shall be required to make, and shall make, in connection with any Transfer are representations and warranties with respect to its own ownership of the Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of Encumbrances and adverse claims, its due organisation (if applicable), its due authorisation (if applicable), execution and delivery of the relevant stock transfer form, and the enforceability of such stock transfer forms against it and (ii) the liability of the Tag-Along Shareholder with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with any Transfer is the several liability of such Tag-Along Shareholder (and not joint with any other person). (c) The Tag-Along Shareholders may exercise their rights pursuant to this sub-clause 9.1 by providing notice (the "TAG-ALONG NOTICE") to the Transferor no less than 10 and no more than 20 Business Days after the expiration of the Second Offer Period. The Tag-Along Notice shall set out the number of Shares each of the Tag-Along Shareholders has elected to include in the Tag-Along Sale. The Tag-Along Notice shall constitute the relevant Tag-Along Shareholder's binding agreement to sell the Shares specified in the Tag-Along Notice on the terms and conditions applicable to the Tag-Along Sale provided that if there is any material change in the terms and conditions of such Tag-along 13 Sale after the Tag-Along Notice is given, then each Tag-Along Shareholder shall have the right to withdraw from the Tag-Along Sale with respect to all Shares affected thereby. (d) If the Offeror does not complete the purchase of all of the Shares requested to be included in the Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Transferor, the Transferor shall not complete the Transfer of any of its Shares to the Offeror and the Directors shall not register such Transfer. If no Tag-Along Notice is received by the Transferor prior to the end of the 20 Business Day period specified above, the Transferor shall have the right to complete the Transfer to the Offeror, together with any valid Tag-Along Sale, without the participation of an Ongoing Shareholder that has not provided the relevant Tag-Along Notice on the terms and conditions set out in the Notice of Transfer and only if such sale is completed within the 90 Business Day period specified in sub-clause 8.3(a). If any Tag-Along Sale does not occur within such 90 Business Day period, the Shares that were subject to such Tag-Along Sale shall continue to be subject to all of the provisions contained in this Agreement. (e) On the date of the Tag-Along Sale, each Tag-Along Shareholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the Shares to be sold in connection with the Tag-Along Sale, together with a duly completed and executed stock transfer form in favour of the Offeror (or any permitted person nominated by it). 9.2 If the holder of a majority of the votes attributable to the Shares agrees to sell all its Shares to a person other than one or more other Shareholders, that majority holder shall be entitled to require all other Shareholders to sell all their Shares to the same person at the same price provided that such majority holder may only exercise this right with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares. 10. NEW MEMBERS 10.1 The parties hereto shall procure that before any person (other than an Existing Shareholder) is registered as a holder of any share in the Company, such person shall enter into a Deed of Adherence. The Company shall not register any such person as the holder of any Share until such a deed has been executed. Upon being so registered, that person shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement. 11. SHAREHOLDER CONSENT 11.1 Where this Agreement provides that any particular transaction or matter requires the consent, approval or agreement of the Shareholders such consent, approval or agreement will be effected by written resolution of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares or by a resolution passed by the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares at a meeting of Shareholders convened by the Directors for such purpose on such 14 notice as the Directors, acting reasonably, consider to be appropriate, and such meeting may take place by any mechanism permitted by the Articles for conducting meetings of members of the Company or Directors, and may be given subject to such terms and conditions as the Shareholder may impose by the terms of the relevant resolution and any breach of such terms and conditions by any person subject thereto shall ipso facto be deemed to be a breach of the terms of this Agreement. 11.2 If the consent, approval or agreement of the Shareholder is required under more than one provision of this Agreement for any one transaction or matter, any consent, approval or agreement given in relation to that transaction or matter by the Shareholder shall be deemed to cover all consents, approvals or agreements required for that transaction or matter unless otherwise specified by the Investors in the relevant resolution. 12. DURATION OF OBLIGATIONS 12.1 Subject to sub-clause 15.12, the obligations of each Shareholder shall continue for so long as such Shareholder remains a holder of Shares but, upon Shareholder ceasing to be a Shareholder, their obligations hereunder shall cease and determine save for any provision hereof which in relation to such Shareholder is expressly or by implication intended to come into force on or to continue in force after such cessation, and without prejudice to the due performance by such Shareholder of all their obligations up to the date of such cessation and the remedies of any of the other parties hereto in respect of a breach thereof. 12.2 Subject to sub-clause 15.12, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to a Shareholder until such time as such Shareholder is no longer the holder of any Shares in the Company, whereupon the obligations and liabilities of the Shareholder this Agreement shall forthwith cease and determine provided that such cesser or determination shall be without prejudice to any obligations or rights of any of the parties hereto which have accrued prior thereto. 13. CONFIDENTIALITY 13.1 Each Shareholder undertakes to each of the other Shareholders and to the Company that such Shareholder will not at any time hereafter use or divulge or communicate to any person other than to officers or employees of the Company whose province it is to know the same or on the instructions of the Directors any Confidential Information which may come to such Shareholder's knowledge and such Shareholder shall use its best endeavours to prevent the publication or disclosure of any Confidential Information. 13.2 The obligations in sub-clause 13.1 shall continue to apply after such Shareholder shall cease to be a party to this Agreement or otherwise involved in the affairs of the Company without limit in point of time but shall cease to apply to information which shall come into the public domain other than by a breach of this clause or which for any other reason, other than through the default of that Shareholder, shall have ceased to be confidential. 15 13.3 Each of the parties hereto shall use its best endeavours to procure that the Company observes and ensures that the officers, employees and agents of each of them observe a corresponding obligation of confidence to that set out in sub-clause 13.1 in relation to the Shareholders themselves. 13.4 No announcement or publicity concerning the terms of this Agreement or the interests of any Shareholder in the Company shall be made or issued by any of the parties hereto without the prior written approval of the Directors in the case of the Company or, in the case of the Shareholders as a body, by a resolution in accordance with such clause 11.1 and in the case of an individual Shareholder by that Shareholder, other than as required by law or by the rules of any regulatory organisation to which any of the parties hereto is subject (in which case the Shareholders and the Company shall promptly, and to the extent practicable, consult with each other on the form of the announcement). 14. NEW ARTICLES 14.1 In order to give further effect to the provisions of clause 8, the Shareholders will on, or as soon as practicable following, Completion, pass a special resolution adopting new Articles of Association in substitution for the existing Articles, containing the relevant substantive provisions of clause 8 as is appropriate for a publicly available document. 14.2 In order to give effect to the above the Shareholders will execute and deliver to the Company the following documents: (a) Dated Proxy Forms (b) Date Consent to Short Notice each of which shall be held in escrow (the "SECOND ESCROW") by the Company until 1 November 2005. 14.3 The terms of the Second Escrow are that all such Proxy Forms and Consents to Short Notice shall be released to the Company on, and as part of, Completion and if Completion does not occur on or before 31 October 2005 all such documents will be returned to the relevant Shareholders unless otherwise agreed prior to such date. 14.4 To give effect to the above, each Participant hereby irrevocably appoints each Director severally, not jointly, so that any Director may act alone, as his agent to deliver and use such documents for the above referred to purpose. 15. GENERAL 15.1 COSTS Each of the Investors and the Company shall pay their own costs and disbursements incurred in relation to the negotiation, preparation and implementation of this Agreement. 16 15.2 NOTICES 15.2.1 All notices which are required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent to the address of the recipient set out in this Agreement or in any Deed of Adherence or such other address as the recipient may designate by notice given in accordance with the provisions of this sub-clause. 15.2.2 Any such notice may be delivered personally or by prepaid airmail letter or facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been served if by personal delivery when delivered, if by prepaid airmail letter 72 hours after posting and if by facsimile transmission when despatched. 15.2.3 Notice given under this Agreement shall not be validly served if sent by e-mail. 15.3 SUCCESSORS BOUND This Agreement shall be binding on and shall enure for the benefit of the successors and assigns and personal representatives (as the case may be) of each of the parties hereto. 15.4 ASSIGNMENT None of the parties hereto may assign their rights or obligations in whole or in part hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, provided that this sub-clause shall not prevent a lawful transfer of Shares pursuant to clauses 8 or 9. 15.5 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act. 15.6 CONTINUING AGREEMENT All provisions of this Agreement shall, so far as they are capable of being performed and observed, continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion, except in respect of those matters then already performed. 15.7 FURTHER ASSURANCE 15.7.1 The parties hereto shall, and shall use their respective best endeavours to procure that any necessary Affiliates shall, do, execute and perform all such further deeds, documents, assurances, acts and things as any of the parties hereto may reasonably require by notice in writing to the others to carry the provisions of this Agreement and the Articles into full force and effect. 17 15.7.2 Without limiting the generality of sub-clause 15.7.1, each of the Beneficial Owners hereby instructs each of the Existing Shareholders, in respect of the relevant Shares registered in the name of the relevant Existing Shareholder, and each of the Existing Shareholders hereby agrees in respect of such Shares to do everything that is required to give effect to this Agreement and the transactions envisaged by it, including bringing the Company's books and records completely up to date, providing missing information and correcting any errors. 15.8 TIME OF THE ESSENCE Any date or period mentioned in this Agreement may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto (following completion, the Shareholders acting by resolution as envisaged in sub-clause 11.1), failing which, as regards any such date or period, time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. 15.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement between the parties or between any persons that are associates of either party relating to its subject matter. This Agreement replaces, supersedes and extinguishes any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties, assurances, understandings and arrangements of any nature, whether in writing or oral, relating to such subject matter. Each party acknowledges that except as set out in Schedule 6 it has not been induced to enter into the Agreement by any representation, warranty, promise or assurance by the other party or any other person. Each party agrees that (except in respect of fraud) it shall have no right or remedy in respect of any other representation, warranty, promise or assurance save for those contained in this Agreement. 15.10 VARIATION This Agreement may be varied or terminated and the observance of any term of 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 those Shareholders holding at least 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares held by the Shareholders, provided, however this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Shareholder without the written consent of such Shareholder unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Shareholders in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to all Shareholders in the same fashion if such waiver or amendment does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Shareholders are affected differently by virtue of differences in their shareholdings). The Company 18 shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any Shareholder that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this sub-clause 15.10 shall be binding on all Shareholders, even if they do not execute such consent. 15.11 WAIVER No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of any of the parties hereto any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege or such exercise against one or more (but not all) of the parties preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 15.12 EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law provided that no such exclusion shall apply in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. 15.13 RELEASES AND COMPROMISES Each of the parties hereto may release or compromise the liability of any of the other parties hereto under this Agreement or grant to such party time or other indulgence without affecting the liability of any other of the parties hereto under this Agreement. 15.14 NO PARTNERSHIP Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership between any of the parties hereto and none of them shall have any authority to bind the others in any way. 15.15 SEVERABILITY (a) Notwithstanding that the whole or any part of any provision of this Agreement may prove to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement and the remainder (if any) of the provision in question shall continue in full force and effect. In relation to any illegal or unenforceable part of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to amend such part in such manner as may be requested from time to time by any of the parties hereto provided that such proposed amendment is legal and enforceable and to the maximum extent possible carries out the original intent of the parties in relation to that part. (b) If any part of this Agreement or the Articles shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable against or by the Company, such part shall be treated as being severable from the remainder of this Agreement or, as the case may be, the Articles and the Shareholders shall promptly exercise their powers in relation to the Company to procure (insofar as they have the power lawfully to do so) that the severable part 19 is nevertheless put into or given effect in accordance with, or to the maximum extent possible in accordance with, the original intent of the parties hereto in relation to that part. 15.16 COUNTERPARTS (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by each party on a separate counterpart, but the Agreement shall not be effective until at least the parties required by sub-clause 4.1 have executed at least one counterpart.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made in whole (or in part) at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date, and before the close of business on the Termination Date, by (i) the surrender of this Warrant, (ii) delivery of a duly Executed Notice of Exercise Form, in the form annexed hereto and (iii) delivery of a duly executed counterpart signature page to the (A) Registration Rights Agreement, dated January [ ], 2004 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), between the Company and certain Holders (as defined therein), (B) Stockholders Agreement, dated January [ ], 2004 (the "Stockholders Agreement"), between the Company and certain Preferred Stockholders (as defined therein) and Common Stockholders (as defined therein) and (C) Common Stock Voting Agreement, dated January [ ], 2004 (the "Common Stock Voting Agreement"), between the Company and certain Investors (as defined therein), in each case, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company). Thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or delivery of a cashier's check drawn on a United States bank, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Shares so purchased. A certificate for Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within five (5) business days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised and paid as aforesaid.

(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 2(a), the Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Exercise Price of such Shares by (ii) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of a Share shall be determined pursuant to Section 2(c). (c) The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment. 3. No Fractional Shares.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or federal or state transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the holder of this Warrant. 2 5.

The Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and no transfer of any Warrant Shares shall be permitted unless the Company has received notice of such transfer, at the address of its principal office, in the form of an assignment reasonably satisfactory to the Company, accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from registration of such Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is available for such transfer. Upon any exercise of the Warrants, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially identical to that set forth on the face of this Warrant certificate.

Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, and the execution and delivery by the Holder of the duly executed counterpart signature pages to the (i) Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) Stockholders Agreement and (iii) Common Stock Voting Agreement, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment. 3 8. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant certificate or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall not exceed that customarily charged by the Company's transfer agent) and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or certificate. 9. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 10. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. (a) Stock Splits, etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted ratably for changes in the capitalization of the Company as follows: (i) in the event of subdivisions, combinations or reclassifications of the Company capital into a greater or lesser number of Shares, as the case may be, or into different classes, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted ratably in the same proportion as the Company capital is subdivided, combined or reclassified, and the Exercise Price (x) shall be proportionately increased in case of any combination or reclassification into a lesser number of Shares or (y) shall be proportionately decreased in case of any subdivision or reclassification into a greater number of Shares; (ii) in the event of a distribution of Shares by the Company, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased by the number of Shares Holder would have received had the Warrant be exercised immediately prior to such distribution of Shares and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. (b) Dilutive Issuances. If the Company shall prior to the Termination Date sell, issue or distribute (including by way of dividend) Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares, including options, preemptive rights and warrants, at a price per Share (determined in the case of securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares, by dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the Company in consideration for the sale and issuance of such securities plus the consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such securities by (ii) the total number of Shares covered by such convertible or exchangeable securities), which is less than $1.55 (or, in the event of a prior adjustment in the number 4 of Warrant Shares, the then current Exercise Price), then the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to equal the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such dilutive issuance times (ii) the quotient of the then current Exercise Price divided by the lowest price per Shares at which Shares were so sold, issued or distributed, and the Exercise Price shall thereafter be reduced to such lowest price per Share. (c) Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall consolidate or merge with or into another corporation or other entity (where the Company is not the surviving entity or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Shares of the Company), or convert into another entity or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation or other entity and, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation, conversion or disposition of assets, equity securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or other entity, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of equity securities of the successor or acquiring entity ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Shares of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Shares of the equity securities of the successor or acquiring entity or of the Company, if it is the surviving entity, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation, conversion or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such merger, consolidation, conversion or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation or other entity (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10. For purposes of this Section 10, "equity securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or other entity" shall include stock or other common equity interests of such company of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such company and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such security, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such security. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, conversions or dispositions of assets. 5 11. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. 12. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or express courier to the holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. 13. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time: (a) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation, or (b) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 10 days prior written notice of the record date for such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.

Each such written notice shall be 6 sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 14(c). 14. Miscellaneous. (a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.

No. [__] ORBCOMM INC. SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT February 17, 2004 THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Ridgewood Satellite, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Warrantholder"), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from ORBCOMM Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), subject to the terms set forth below, Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share ("Warrant Shares"), upon surrender hereof, at the principal office of the Company referred to below, with the Notice of Exercise attached as Exhibit A hereto duly executed, and payment therefor in lawful money of the United States. The number and warrant price of such Warrant Shares are as set forth in Section 2 hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. 1. Term. Subject to the terms hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time until November 5, 2008. 2. Number and Warrant Price. (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable for the number of Warrant Shares set forth in subparagraph (b) below at an exercise price per share equal to $2.84 per Warrant Share (the "Warrant Price"). (b) This Warrant shall be exercisable for [__] shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. 3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (together with a duly executed notice of exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an ORBCOMM Series A Warrant amount equal to the Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within 15 days of receipt of such notice and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such 15-day period. The aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares being purchased hereunder may be paid either (i) by cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (ii) by surrender of a number of Warrant Shares which have a fair market value equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares being purchased ("Net Issuance") as determined herein. If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment, the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise a number of shares of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula: Y x (A-B) X = --------- A where: X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder; Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder is exercising its purchase rights under this Warrant; A = the fair market value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on the date of exercise; and B = the Warrant Price. No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of shares to be issued to the Holder shall be issued, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to the Holder of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on the date of exercise. For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares shall mean (a) if the date of exercise is after the commencement of trading of the Company's Common Stock on a securities exchange or over-the-counter but prior to the closing of the IPO, the price per share to the public set forth on the final prospectus relating to the IPO, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible, (b) if the Company's Common Stock is then traded on a securities exchange, the average of the 2 closing prices of such Common Stock on such exchange over the thirty (30) calendar day period (or portion thereof) ending three (3) days prior to the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible, (c) if the Company's Common Stock is then regularly traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing sale prices or secondarily the closing bid of such Common Stock over the thirty (30) calendar day period (or portion thereof) ending three (3) days prior to the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible, or (d) if there is no active public market for the Company's Common Stock, the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (or similar governing body), multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible. 4. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Warrant Shares and Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. 5. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: (a) In case of (i) any reclassification of or similar change in the Warrant Shares; (ii) any merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a merger with another entity in which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the Warrant Shares); or (iii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company or such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant having substantially similar terms and providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant for the kind and number of shares of stock, membership interests, other securities, money or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a holder of shares of Warrant Shares. (b) In case of (i) any subdivision or combination of the Warrant Shares or (ii) at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of this Warrant, any declaration or payment, without consideration, of any dividend on the Warrant Shares payable in shares of the Company's capital stock or in any right to acquire shares of the Company's capital stock without consideration, the number of shares of Warrant Shares or other security issuable upon exercise hereof shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as appropriate. (c) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Paragraph 5 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment. 3 6. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within 30 days of such adjustment deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial officer to the holder(s) hereof setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment. 7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect. 8. Transfers and Exchanges. This Warrant shall not be transferable, except to affiliates of the Holder. 9. Rights as Stockholder. No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares shall have become deliverable, as provided herein, and at such time the holders of such shares shall have the same rights, preferences and privileges, as provided in the Company's charter documents, including any anti-dilution protection, as all other holders of the Warrant Shares. In addition, Warrant Shares shall have registration rights equivalent to the registration rights granted to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Company's Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2004, and the holder of this Warrant will be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities thereunder upon exercise of this Warrant. 10. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated only with the written consent of the Company and the holder hereof. 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered, or shall be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at its principal office at 21700 Atlantic Blvd., Dulles, VA 20166, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. 12. Binding Effect on Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any entity succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and all of the obligations of the Company relating to the Warrant Shares shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant and all of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of the holder hereof but at the Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to the holder hereof in respect of any rights to which the holder hereof shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, that the failure of the holder 4 hereof to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the holder hereof in respect of such rights. 13. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the holder hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate (stock or otherwise) and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or certificate. 14. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware. 15. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Corporation have adopted bylaws (the "Bylaws") providing for the indemnification of the directors of the corporation, including persons servicing at the request of the Corporation in such capacities with other corporations or enterprises, as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "Code"); WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature, permit contracts between the Corporation and its agents, officers, employees and other agents with respect to indemnification of such persons; and WHEREAS, in order to induce Director to serve as a director of the Corporation, the Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Director. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Director's agreement to serve as a director after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. SERVICES TO THE CORPORATION. Director will serve, at the will of the Corporation or under separate contract, if any such contract exists, as a director of the Corporation faithfully and to the best of his ability so long as he/she is duly elected and qualified in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws or other applicable charter documents of the Corporation; provided, however, that Director may at any time and for any reason resign from such position. 2. INDEMNITY OF DIRECTOR. The Corporation hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director to the fullest extent authorized, or permitted by the provisions of the Bylaws and the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the Bylaws or the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment). 3. ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY. In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification otherwise, provided for herein, subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Corporation hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director: (a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid settlement and any other amounts that Director becomes legally obligated to pay because of any claim or claims made against or by him/her in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitration, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Corporation) to which Director is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Director is, was or at any time becomes a director of the Corporation; and (b) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Director by the Corporation under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Code and of the Bylaws. 4. LIMITATIONS ON ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY. No indemnity pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation: (a) on account of any claim against Director for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Director of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; (b) on account of Director's conduct that was knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct; (c) on account of Director's conduct that constituted a breach of Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or resulted in, any personal profit or advantage to which Director was not legally entitled; (d) for which payment is actually made to Director under a valid and collectible insurance policy or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause, bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement; (e) if indemnification is not lawful (and, in this respect, both the Corporation and the Director have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication); or 2 (f) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Director, or any proceeding by Director against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the code, or (iv) the proceeding is initiated pursuant to the Section 9 hereof. 5. CONTINUATION OF INDEMNITY. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Director is a director of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that is an affiliate of the Corporation) and shall continue thereafter so long as Director shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitration, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Director was serving in the capacity referred to herein. 6. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. Director shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for a portion of the expenses (including attorneys' fees),witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Director becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 3 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount thereof, and the Corporation shall indemnify Director for the portion thereof to which Director is entitled. 7. NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIM. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Director of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Director will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Director otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Director notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof: (a) the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; (b) except as otherwise provided below, the Corporation may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Director. After notice from the Corporation to Director of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Director under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Director in connection with the 3 defense thereof except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Director shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Director unless (i) the employment of counsel by Director has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) Director shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Director in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Director's separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which Director shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and (c) the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Director under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall be permitted to settle any action except that it shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Director without Director's written consent, which may be given or withheld in Director's sole discretion. 8. EXPENSES. The Corporation shall advance, prior to the full disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by Director in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Director to repay said amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that Director is not entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of this Agreement, the Bylaws, the Code or otherwise. 9. ENFORCEMENT. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Director shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Director in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. Director, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim for indemnification is made under Section 3 hereof (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses pursuant to Section 8 hereof, provided that the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that Director is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in Section 4 hereof. Neither the failure of the Corporation, (including its Board of Directors or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of Director is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or its 4 stockholders) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Director is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise. 10. SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Director, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 11. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on Director by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Director may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. 12. SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. (a) The rights conferred on Director by this Agreement shall continue after Director has ceased to be a director of the Corporation or to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of Director's heirs, executors and administrators. (b) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 13. SEVERABILITY. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Director to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws, the Code or any other applicable law. 14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 5 15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto. 16. IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 17. HEADINGS. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction hereof. 18. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such communication was directed or (ii) upon the third business day after the date on which such communication was mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid: (a) If to Director, at the address indicated on the signature page hereof.

An Incentive Stock Option may not have an exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted. (d) If the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date the Option is granted) of a Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option which is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the portion of the Incentive Stock Option in excess of the $100,000 limitation will be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, is deemed to own more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any "subsidiary corporation" of the Company (as more fully described in Code Section 422(b)(6)), then (i) the exercise price of the Option may not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, and (ii) such Option may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted. (e) Payment of the Option price will be made in cash or, if subsequent to an Initial Public Offering, in shares of Common Stock that have been held for at least six months or through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Option price or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Option Agreement and of any applicable guidelines of the Committee in effect at the time. 6. Limitations and Conditions. (a) The total number of Shares available for Grants under the Plan will be 2,500,000 Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7 or 8 hereof. Unless the Shares are restricted by applicable law, or are Shares related to Grants that are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire unexercised, the Shares will immediately become available for Grants. The Stock issuable under the Plan will consist of shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market. Subsequent to an Initial Public Offering, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued in connection with any Option granted under this Plan for any Participant will not exceed 500,000 Shares in any calendar year. 5 ORBCOMM INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN (b) No Grants will be made under the Plan beyond 10 years after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or is approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier, but the terms of Grants made on or before the expiration of the Plan may extend beyond such expiration. At the time a Grant is made or amended or the terms or conditions of a Grant are changed, the Committee may provide for limitations or conditions on such Grant. (c) Nothing contained herein will affect the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment or services at any time or for any reason. (d) Other than as specifically provided with regard to the death of a Participant, no benefit under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so will be void. No such benefit will, prior to receipt thereof by the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant. (e) Participants will not be, and will not have any of the rights or privileges of, equityholders of the Company in respect of any Shares of Common Stock which may be purchased in connection with any Grant unless and until certificates representing any such Shares have been issued by the Company to such Participants. Prior to an Initial Public Offering, each Participant will be required to enter into a shareholder agreement with the Company, in a form provided by the Company, upon the exercise of any Option under the Plan. (f) No election as to benefits or exercise of Options, or other rights may be made during a Participant's lifetime by anyone other than the Participant except by a legal representative appointed for or by the Participant. (g) Absent express provisions to the contrary, any grant under the Plan will not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and will not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. (h) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no benefit or promise under the Plan will be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor will any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under the Plan. 6 ORBCOMM INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN 7. Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of an acquisition, spin-off or reclassification, recapitalization or merger, combination or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, Change of Control or similar event, or as required under any Option Agreement, the Committee may adjust appropriately the number or kind of Shares or securities subject to the Plan and available for or covered by Grants and Share prices related to outstanding Grants and make such other revisions to outstanding Grants as it deems are equitably required. Any such adjustments for Incentive Stock Options must meet the requirements of Code Section 424(a). 8. Merger, Consolidation, Exchange, Acquisition, Liquidation or Dissolution. In its absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, coincident with or after the grant of any Option, the Committee may provide, with respect to the merger or consolidation of the Company into another corporation, the exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for the securities of another corporation, a Change of Control or the recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, either (a) that such Option cannot be exercised after such event, in which case the Committee will also provide, either by the terms of such Option or by a resolution adopted prior to the occurrence of such event, that for some period of time prior to such event, such Option will be exercisable as to all Shares subject thereto which are exercisable or, by virtue of the event, become exercisable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6(b)) and that, upon the occurrence of such event, such Option will terminate and be of no further force or effect, or (b) that even if the Option will remain exercisable after such event, from and after such event, any such Option will be exercisable only for the kind and amount of securities and/or other property, or the cash equivalent thereof, receivable as a result of such event by the holder of a number of Shares for which such Option could have been exercised immediately prior to such event. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide, either by the terms of such Option or by a resolution adopted prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, that such Option will be exercisable as to all or any portion of the Shares subject thereto, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6(b)). 7 ORBCOMM INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN 9. Amendment and Termination. The Committee will have the authority to make such amendments to any terms and conditions applicable to outstanding Grants as are consistent with the Plan provided that, except for adjustments under Paragraph 7 or 8, no such action will modify such Grant in a manner adverse to the Participant without the Participant's consent except as such modification is provided for or contemplated in the terms of the Grant. The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. However, no such action, other than an action under Paragraph 7 or 8, may be taken which would increase the aggregate number of Shares available for Grants under the Plan, change the eligible class of individuals, decrease the price of outstanding Options, change the requirements relating to the Committee or extend the term of the Plan if shareholder approval is required for such action to maintain an exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or to meet the applicable requirements of Code Section 422. 10. Withholding Taxes. The Company will have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under the Plan any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. The Participant must pay to the Company such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes before the obligation of the Company to deliver certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of an Option arises. Any Option Agreement may provide that the Participant may elect, in accordance with any conditions set forth in such Option Agreement, to pay a portion or all of such withholding taxes in Shares. 11. Governing Law. The Plan will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 12.

The Executive has agreed to the Company's request in exchange for certain commitments made by the Company pursuant to a Term Sheet Re: Continued Employment entered into between the Executive and the Company on or about April 13, 2006 (the "Term Sheet"). As such, the Company desires to provide for the Executive's continued employment by the Company, and the Executive desires to accept such employment, under the terms and conditions contained herein, and, in consideration of the above recitals, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed as follows: 1.

If, prior to the natural expiration of the Term, the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment without "cause" pursuant to Section 4(c) above, or if the Executive's employment is terminated due to the natural expiration of the Term and the Executive is no longer serving as the CFO at such time, then, upon the Executive's execution of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release") and the effectiveness of the Release (as defined therein), the Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive, as severance payments (such severance payments being the Executive's sole entitlement upon any such termination), Base Salary compensation provided for by Section 3(a) above for six (6) months, provided that such severance payments will cease upon the Executive becoming employed by another employer as a chief financial officer, or in a similar position with comparable Base Salary compensation, or upon the Executive becoming re-employed by the Company in any other position. If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b) above, if the Company terminates the Executive's employment with "cause" pursuant to Section 4(c) above, if the Executive terminates his employment pursuant to Section 4(d) above, or if the Executive's employment is terminated due to the natural expiration of the Term and the Executive is still serving as the CFO at such time, then the Executive shall not thereafter be entitled to any further payments under this Agreement, including Base Salary, Bonus, Employee Benefits, or Severance.

(h) Equitable Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the remedy at law for his breach of this Section 6 will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach will not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a violation of any part of this Section 6, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) from any court with proper jurisdiction and may obtain a temporary order restraining any further violation. No bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief, and the Executive hereby consents to the issuance of such equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 6(h) shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity for any breach by the Executive of any of the parts of this Section 6 which may be pursued or availed of by the Company. 7. ARBITRATION. Except as provided in Section 6(h) above, any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto, whether during the Term or thereafter, including without limitation, any and all matters relating to this Agreement, the Executive's employment with the Company and the cessation thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in New York, New York pursuant to the AAA's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (or their equivalent), which arbitration shall be confidential, final, and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Notary Public - 10 - EX-10.21.2 31 y19769exv10w21w2.txt EX-10.21.2: AMENDMENT TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.21.2 AMENDMENT TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT This Amendment (this "Amendment") is entered into on this 5th day of May, 2006, by and between ORBCOMM Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and John Brady, the undersigned employee (the "Employee") of the Company. WHEREAS, the Employee was previously granted stock options pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option Agreement, dated July 6, 2004, by and between the Company and the Employee (the "Option Agreement"; and the stock options granted pursuant to the Option Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "Options"); and WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company have agreed to make certain changes to the Employee's employment agreement (as amended, the "Employment Agreement") and the Option Agreement pursuant to a Term Sheet Re: Continued Employment entered into between the Employee and the Company on or about April 13, 2006 (the "Term Sheet"); and WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company are cognizant of the new rules governing stock options under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (together with any proposed and final regulations and other guidance issued thereunder by the Internal Revenue Service, "Section 409A"); and WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company now wish to amend the Option Agreement in accordance with the Term Sheet but without subjecting the stock options to Section 409A (i.e., continuing to maintain the exemption of the Options from Section 409A's requirements to the extent that the Options, as they existed before this Amendment, were so exempt); NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 1. Non-Statutory Stock Options. The Employee understands, acknowledges, and accepts that, by virtue of this Amendment, the Options will no longer satisfy the requirements for incentive stock options under Internal Revenue Code Section 422, and will instead be treated, including for tax purposes, as non-statutory stock options. 2. Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Option Agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), all of the Options, to the extent not already exercisable, will become exercisable. A "Qualifying Termination" means a termination of the Employee's employment with the Company (a) due to a termination by the Company without cause (as defined in Section 4 of the Employment Agreement), (b) due to his death or disability (as provided for in Section 4 of the Employment Agreement), or (c) due to the natural expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement). By way of clarification, a "Qualifying Termination" will not occur in the event that the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company with cause (as defined in Section 4 of the Employment Agreement) or the Employee voluntarily resigns from his employment with the Company before the natural expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement). 3. Exercise Period. Pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(A) of the Option Agreement, the Employee is provided with 30 days or three months, as applicable, following certain terminations of his employment during which he may exercise his vested Options. In accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(C), the parties hereto agree that the above-referenced time periods during which the Employee may exercise his vested Options are extended until the later of (a) December 31st of the calendar year in which the Employee's right to exercise the Options would have expired but for the extension provided in this Section 3 and (b) the 15th day of the third month following the month in which the Employee's right to exercise the Options would have expired but for the extension provided in this Section 3. EXAMPLE: If the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without cause on December 15, 2006, then his right to exercise his vested Options would have expired under the terms of the Option Agreement thirty days later (January 14, 2007). As a result of the extension provided in this Section 3, the Employee will be permitted to exercise his vested Options through December 31, 2007. 4. Repurchase Rights. Pursuant to Section 5 of the Option Agreement, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, the Company has the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to repurchase from the Employee shares acquired by the Employee pursuant to his exercise of all or any portion of the Options. The Company hereby agrees that it will not exercise such discretion and will not require the Employee to sell to the Company any shares that the Employee acquires pursuant to his exercise of all or any portion of the Options. In the event that the Company's commitment in this Section 4 is deemed to be a modification of the Options, which may then cause the Options to become subject to the requirements of Section 409A, then this Section 4 will be of no effect, will be deemed stricken from this Amendment, and the Company will retain its discretionary repurchase rights as set forth in the Option Agreement. 2 5. Employment Termination Upon Expiration of the Term. For purposes of the Option Agreement, including, without limitation, for purposes of determining the time period during which the Employee may exercise his vested options and the extent of the Company's repurchase rights, the termination of the Employee's employment with the Company due to the natural expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement) will not be treated as a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee. Rather, such a termination will be treated as a refusal by the Company to extend the Employee's term of employment, and thus a termination of employment by the Company without cause. 6. Amendments Necessitated by Section 409A. The parties hereto acknowledge that the requirements of Section 409A are still being developed and interpreted by government agencies, that certain issues under Section 409A remain unclear at this time, and that the parties hereto have made a good faith effort to comply with current guidance under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment or the Option Agreement to the contrary, in the event that amendments to the Option Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, are necessary in order to ensure that the Options are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, the Employee agrees that the Company will be permitted to make such amendments, on a prospective and/or retroactive basis, in its sole discretion, provided that it has first negotiated with the Employee on a good faith basis to construct an amendment that would be mutually satisfactory to the parties hereto. 7. No Guaranty of Exemption from Section 409A. Nothing in this Amendment, the Term Sheet, or any other agreement between the parties hereto is to be construed by the Employee or any other person as a guaranty or assurance of any sort by the Company that the Options were and/or continue to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. The Employee acknowledges that the Company cannot make such a guaranty or assurance, and warrants and represents that he has not relied upon any such guaranty or assurance, if any, previously made by the Company or any of its representatives, whether orally or in writing. 8. Continued Validity of the Option Agreement. Except as amended and superseded by this Amendment, the Option Agreement will remain in full force and effect, will continue to bind the parties hereto, and will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the Options. To the extent that the terms of this Amendment conflict or are inconsistent with the terms of the Option Agreement, the terms of this Amendment will govern. 9. No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Amendment will be construed or deemed by any person under any circumstances to bind the Company 3 to continue the employment of the Employee for the period during which the Options may vest or for any other period. 10. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Option Agreement, to the extent not amended and superseded by this Amendment, and the Stock Option Plan under which the Option Agreement was issued, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto respecting the Options (the "Entire Agreement"). There being no representations, warranties, or commitments between the parties hereto except as set forth in the Entire Agreement, the Entire Agreement replaces and supersedes any other agreement or arrangement, oral or written, between the Employee and the Company respecting the Options, including, without limitation, the Term Sheet. 11. Governing Law. This Amendment, and the Option Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the "Governing Law" provision set forth in the Stock Option Plan under which the Option Agreement was issued. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this document as of the date first set forth above. ORBCOMM Inc. JOHN P. BRADY By: /s/ Jerome B.
