BAR DATE FOR FILING PROOFS OF CLAIM RELATING TO EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES REJECTED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN Claims arising out of the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan must be filed with [_____________] no later than 30 days after the Confirmation Date. Any Claims not filed within such applicable time periods will be forever barred from receiving a distribution from the Estates. D. CONTRACTS AND LEASES ENTERED INTO AFTER THE PETITION DATE Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor and not previously assigned to New Globalstar, will be assigned to New Globalstar as of the Effective Date and performed by New Globalstar in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order. ARTICLE VI PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS A. DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CLAIMS OR INTERESTS ALLOWED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, distributions of Cash or Base New Globalstar Class A Common Stock to be made on the Effective Date to holders of Claims that are Allowed as of the Effective Date will be deemed made on the Effective Date if made on the Effective Date or as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event no later than: (1) 45 days after the Effective Date, or (2) such later date when the applicable conditions of Section VI.D.2 (regarding undeliverable distributions) or Section VI.I (regarding surrender of canceled instruments and securities) are satisfied. Distributions on account of Claims or Interests that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date will be made pursuant to Section VII.D. B. METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS The Disbursing Agent will make all distributions required under the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and any Disbursing Agent may employ or contract with other Entities to make or assist in making the distributions required by the Plan. C. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RELATED TO DISTRIBUTIONS The Disbursing Agent (other than GLP) providing services related to distributions pursuant to the Plan will receive from GLP, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services. These payments will be made on terms agreed to with GLP and will not be deducted from distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims receiving distributions. 16 D. DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND UNDELIVERABLE OR UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS 1. DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS a. GENERALLY Except as otherwise provided in this Section VI.D.1 and Section VI.D.2, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent: (i) at the addresses set forth on the respective proofs of Claim filed by holders of such Claims; (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written certification of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent (including pursuant to a letter of transmittal delivered to a Disbursing Agent) after the date of filing of any related proof of Claim; or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the applicable Debtor's Schedules if no proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address. b. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTE CLAIMS Subject to the requirements of Section VI.I, distributions to holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims will be made by the Disbursing Agent to the record holders of the Senior Notes as of the Effective Date, as identified on a record holder register to be provided to the Disbursing Agent by the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. This record holder register will provide the name, address, and holdings of each respective registered holder of Senior Notes as of the Effective Date. Each entry on the record holder register will be treated as an Allowed General Unsecured Claim for purposes of distributions made pursuant to this Article VI. The Disbursing Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized and entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with the record holders set forth on the record holder register except as provided in Section VI.D.1.c. c. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO CERTAIN HOLDERS ENTITLED TO THIRD PARTY RELEASE Distributions to holders of Claims on account of the Third Party Release will be made only to those record holders stated on the claims register as of the close of business on the Effective Date. Any party acquiring a Claim (including a Senior Note Claim) from an entity that is bound by the Third Party Release shall be bound by such Third Party Release as if such acquiring entity had agreed to be bound to the Third Party Release. Distributions, if any, on account of Allowed Noteholder Securities Litigation Claims and Allowed Shareholder Securities Litigation Claims will be made to the Confirmation Date, to lead counsel in the Securities Class Action. d. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO HOLDERS OF LORAL CLAIMS Distributions on account of Allowed Loral Claims shall be made to Loral for distribution to holders of Loral Claims. 2. UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS HELD BY DISBURSING AGENTS a. HOLDING AND INVESTMENT OF UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS; UNDELIVERED NEW GLOBALSTAR CLASS A COMMON STOCK (i) If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to a Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions will be made to such holder unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent is notified by written certification of such holder's then-current address. Subject to Section VI.I, undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the applicable Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section VI.D.2.a until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. 17 Any undeliverable Cash (including dividends or other distributions on account of undeliverable New Globalstar Class A Common Stock) will be held in segregated bank accounts in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such funds. Any Disbursing Agent holding undeliverable Cash will invest such Cash in a manner consistent with the Debtors' investment and deposit guidelines. Undeliverable New Globalstar Class A Common Stock will be held by the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such securities. (ii) On each anniversary of the Effective Date that undeliverable distributions are being held on behalf of holders of Claims, the applicable Disbursing Agent will file with the Bankruptcy Court a list identifying all such holders. b. AFTER DISTRIBUTIONS BECOME DELIVERABLE On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agents will make all distributions that become deliverable to holders of Allowed Claims during the preceding calendar quarter. Each such distribution will include, to the extent applicable, a Pro Rata share of dividends or other distributions, if any, that were previously paid to the Disbursing Agent in respect of any New Globalstar Class A Common Stock included in such distribution. c. FAILURE TO CLAIM UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS Any holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the Plan for an undeliverable distribution to be made by a Disbursing Agent within two years after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last date on which a distribution was deliverable to such holder will have its claim for such undeliverable distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against the Debtors, New Globalstar or their property. In such cases with respect to Allowed General Unsecured Claims (and Noteholder Securities Litigation Claims and Shareholder Securities Litigation Claims entitled to Third Party Release), (i) New Globalstar Class A Common Stock will be retained for redistribution to holders of Allowed Claims in such Classes, pursuant to Section VII.C, and (ii) for purposes of this redistribution, each Allowed Claim for which such distributions are undeliverable will be deemed disallowed in its entirety. In such cases with respect to Allowed Claims in any other Class, unclaimed Cash will become property of New Globalstar, free of any restrictions thereon. Nothing contained in the Plan will require any Debtor or Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim. E. EFFECTIVE DATE As of the close of business on the Confirmation Date, the claims register shall be closed with respect to all claims other than Senior Note Claims, and there shall be no further changes in the record holder of any Claim. The Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claim occurring after the Confirmation Date. The Disbursing Agent shall instead be authorized and entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with only those record holders stated on the claims register as of the close of business on the Confirmation Date. As of the close of business on the Effective Date, the respective transfer registers for the Senior Notes, as maintained by the Indenture Trustee, will be closed. The applicable Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer or sale of any Senior Note that occurs after the close of business on the Effective Date and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Senior Notes who are identified on a record holder register as provided to the Disbursing Agent as of the close of business on the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Confirmation Date will be treated as the holders of such Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to such transfer has not expired by the Confirmation Date. 18 F. MEANS OF CASH PAYMENTS Except as otherwise specified herein, Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. currency by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by GCC or, at the option of GCC, by wire transfer from a domestic bank; provided, however, that Cash payments to foreign holders of Allowed Claims may be made, at the option of GCC, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. G. TIMING AND CALCULATION OF AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED 1. BUSINESS DAY In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. 2. ROUNDING Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, only whole numbers of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock will be issued. When any distribution on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of such New Globalstar Class A Common Stock will be rounded in a manner determined by GCC to be equitable. The total number of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims and Interests will not exceed the number provided for in Article III. No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional securities that are rounded down. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH TAX REQUIREMENTS a. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, each Disbursing Agent will comply with all Tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Each Disbursing Agent will be authorized to take any actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including but not limited to requiring recipients to fund the payment of such withholding as a condition to delivery or entering into arrangements for the sale of a sufficient number of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock otherwise to be distributed to a recipient subject to a withholding requirement in order to generate net proceeds sufficient to fund the payment of any such withholding. b. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each Entity receiving a distribution of Cash or New Globalstar Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any Tax obligations imposed on it by any governmental unit on account of such distribution, including income, withholding, and other Tax obligations. H. SETOFFS 1. Except with respect to claims of a Debtor released pursuant to Section IV.A.2, Section XI.C or otherwise, GCC, or as instructed by GCC, a Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim) the claims, rights, and causes of action of any nature that the Debtors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any claims, rights, and causes of action that the Debtors may possess against such a holder of a Claim. 19 I. SURRENDER OF CANCELED INSTRUMENTS OR SECURITIES As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by note certificates, stock certificates or other written instruments or other documentation canceled pursuant to Section IV.D, the holder of such Claim must tender, as specified in this Section VI.I, the applicable certificates, instruments, or other documentation evidencing such Claim to the applicable Disbursing Agent, together with any letter of transmittal required by such Disbursing Agent. Pending such surrender, any distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Claim will be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Section VI.D.2. 1. TENDER OF SENIOR NOTE CERTIFICATES Except as provided in Section VI.I.2 for lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Senior Note certificates, each holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim must tender the applicable Senior Note certificates to the applicable Disbursing Agent in accordance with a letter of transmittal to be provided to such holder by the Disbursing Agent as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. The letter of transmittal will include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of the applicable Senior Note certificates to act and the authenticity of any signatures required thereon. All surrendered Senior Note certificates will be marked as canceled. 2. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED SENIOR NOTES CERTIFICATE Any holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim with respect to which the underlying Senior Note certificate has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed must, in lieu of surrendering such Senior Note, deliver to the applicable Disbursing Agent: (a) evidence satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation, or destruction, and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent and the Debtors, as applicable, harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of a Senior Note. Upon compliance with this Section VI.I.2 by a holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim, such holder will, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Senior Note certificate. 3. FAILURE TO SURRENDER SENIOR NOTE CERTIFICATES Any holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim that fails to surrender or be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Senior Note certificates(s) within two years after the Effective Date will have its right to distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of such Senior Note Claim discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against the Debtors, New Globalstar or their property. In such case, any Cash or New Globalstar Class A Common Stock held for distribution on account of such Senior Note Claim will be treated pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section VII.C. 4. SENIOR NOTE CERTIFICATES IN THE NAME AND CUSTODY OF CEDE & CO. With respect to any Senior Note certificate held in the name and custody of CEDE & Co., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company (the "Depository"), the foregoing provisions of this Section VI.I will not apply; however, the Disbursing Agent will coordinate with the Depository to obtain such Senior Note certificate substantially in accordance with the procedures contemplated by such provisions. Any such Senior Note certificate will be marked "Cancelled" by the Disbursing Agent. 5. SENIOR NOTE CERTIFICATES IN THE NAME, BUT NOT THE CUSTODY, OF CEDE & CO. With respect to any Senior Note certificate held in the name of CEDE & Co. but in the custody of the Indenture Trustee, in lieu of the procedures contemplated in the foregoing provisions of this Section VI.I, the Disbursing Agent will obtain such Senior Note certificates from the Indenture Trustee and will coordinate a mandatory exchange of the Senior Notes evidenced by such certificate for New Globalstar 20 Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Plan and instructions received from the Depository. Any such Senior Note certificate will be marked "Cancelled" by the Disbursing Agent. 6. UNCERTIFICATED SENIOR NOTES IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. With respect to any uncertificated Senior Note held in the name of CEDE & Co., as evidenced by the applicable record holder register retained by the Indenture Trustee, the Disbursing Agent will coordinate a mandatory exchange of such Senior Notes for New Globalstar Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Plan and instructions received from the Depository. ARTICLE VII PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS UNDER THIS PLAN A. PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS On and after the Effective Date, GCC will have the authority and exclusive right to file, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to the allowance of Claims and Interests, whether arising before or after the Petition Date. On and after the Effective Date, GCC shall have the authority to comprise, settle, otherwise resolve or withdraw any objections to Claims or compromise, settle or otherwise resolve Disputed Claims without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Unless another date is established by order of the Bankruptcy Court, all objections to Claims (other than applications for allowances of compensation and reimbursement of expenses) shall be filed and served 60 days after the later of the Effective Date or the date proof of such Claim or Interests is filed by the holder thereof. B. NO DISTRIBUTIONS PENDING ALLOWANCE Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of the portion of such Claim that is a Disputed Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, but the payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of the portion of such Claim that is an Allowed Claim. C. DISPUTED CLAIMS RESERVE 1. CREATION OF THE DISPUTED CLAIMS RESERVE On the Effective Date, Cash and New Globalstar Class A Common Stock will be placed in the Disputed Claims Reserve. The Disputed Claims Reserve shall have two sub-accounts for the New Globalstar Class A Common Stock. The New Globalstar Class A Common Stock attributable to the Reallocated Shares and for distribution to all holders of Claims bound by the Third Party Release shall be accounted for separately than the other shares of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock held for distribution to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Each such sub-account shall function in accordance with this Section VII.C as if it were the only account. In no event shall a surplus or deficiency in one sub-account affect in any manner the distribution to holders of Allowed Claims entitled to a distribution from the other sub-account. After the allowance or disallowance of all Claims entitled to receive Cash pursuant to the Plan, any Cash remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be paid to New Globalstar. 2. ESTIMATION For purposes of effectuating the reserve provisions of the Plan and the allocations and distributions to holders of Allowed Claims entitled to receive New Globalstar Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, GCC may request, prior to or after the Effective Date, that the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, fix or liquidate the amount of any contingent or 21 unliquidated General Unsecured Claim not otherwise treated under this Plan or, in lieu thereof, the Bankruptcy Court may determine the maximum contingent or unliquidated amount for such Claim. 3. MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF NOTEHOLDER SECURITIES LITIGATION CLAIMS AND SHAREHOLDER SECURITIES LITIGATION CLAIMS FOR PURPOSES OF THE DISPUTED CLAIMS RESERVE For purposes of establishing the Disputed Claims Reserve sub-account with respect to Reallocated Shares, the Maximum Allowed Amount of Noteholder Securities Litigation Claims shall be $[_____] million and the Maximum Allowed Amount of the Shareholder Securities Litigation Claims shall be $[_____] million. Holders of Noteholder Securities Litigation Claims and Shareholder Securities Litigation Claims shall not receive any distribution from the Disputed Claims Reserve sub-account established for the benefit of General Unsecured Claims. 4. INITIAL DISTRIBUTIONS The amount of distributions (including distributions attributable to Third Party Releases) to be made on the Effective Date to holders of Allowed Claims on account of those Claims will be made from the Disputed Claims Reserve and will be calculated as if each Disputed Claim were an Allowed Claim in its Maximum Allowable Amount. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, distributions also will be made, pursuant to Section VII.C.5, to holders of Disputed Claims that were allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. 5. ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED CLAIMS On each Quarterly Distribution Date, each holder of a Claim previously Allowed that is entitled to New Globalstar Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Plan will receive an additional distribution from the Disputed Claims Reserve on account of such Claim in an amount equal to (i) the amount of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section VII.C.4 as if the Claim had become an Allowed Claim on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Date (after giving effect to the allowance or disallowance of Claims) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock previously distributed on account of the Claim. Each additional distribution also will include: (i) any dividends or other distributions made on account of the New Globalstar Class A Common Stock included in such distribution; and (ii) any proceeds from the investment of the dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) (in each case, net of applicable taxes, if any, payable by GCC in respect thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make any distribution on any Quarterly Distribution Date if the Disbursing Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that making such distribution would not be cost efficient. Any distribution to a holder of a Claim that has not been made shall be retained for distribution on the next Quarterly Distribution Date for which such distribution is cost-efficient or such time as all Claims have been allowed or disallowed. After the allowance or disallowance of all Claims, the Disbursing Agent will distribute all New Globalstar Class A Common Stock remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve. 6. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Cash dividends and other distributions on account of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock held in the Disputed Claims Reserve will be transferred to the Disputed Claims Reserve concurrently with the transfer of such dividends and other distributions to other holders of New Globalstar Class A Common Stock. Cash held in the Disputed Claims Reserve as a result of such dividends and other distributions (i) will be deposited in a segregated bank account maintained by the applicable Disbursing Agent and held in trust pending distribution by the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Disputed Claims, (ii) will be accounted for separately, and (iii) will not constitute property of the Debtors. The applicable Disbursing Agent will invest the Cash held in the Disputed Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with the Debtors' investment and deposit guidelines. The applicable Disbursing Agent also will 22 place in the Disputed Claims Reserve the proceeds from such investment of Cash (net of applicable taxes, if any, payable by GCC in respect thereof). 7. RECOURSE Each holder of an Allowed Claim (or a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim) in will have recourse only to the undistributed Cash and New Globalstar Class A Common Stock held in the Disputed Claims Reserve for satisfaction of the distributions (including Third Party Release-Based Consideration) to which holders of Allowed Claims are entitled hereunder, and not to the Debtors, New Globalstar, their property, or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim. 8. TAX REPORTING Under section 468B(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, title 26 of the United States Code, amounts earned by an escrow account, settlement fund or similar fund must be subject to current tax. Although certain Treasury Regulations have been issued under this Section, no Treasury Regulations have as yet been promulgated to address the tax treatment of such accounts established to satisfy claims similar to the Disputed Claims in Classes 4, 5, 7 and 8. Treasury Regulations have been proposed that would establish, if finalized in their current form, the tax treatment of reserves of a type similar to those involved here. In general, such Treasury Regulations would subject such a reserve to a separate entity-level tax in a manner similar to a "qualified settlement fund" governed by Treasury Regulation sections 1.468B-1 et seq. As to reserves established prior to the proposed Treasury Regulations becoming final, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide that the IRS would not challenge any reasonable, consistently applied method of taxation for income earned by the reserve and any reasonable, consistently applied method for reporting such income. Absent definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary and subject to the issuance of definitive guidance, the Disbursing Agent will (a) treat the Disputed Claims Reserve as disputed ownership funds for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1.468B-9 (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently for federal, state and local income tax purposes. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, holders of Disputed Claims must report consistently with such treatment. The Disbursing Agent will report, as subject to a separate entity level tax, any amounts earned by the Disputed Claims Reserves and will pay the Tax thereon. In general, distributions from a Disputed Claims Reserve will be made, net of any taxes paid with respect to earnings of the Disputed Claims Reserve that are included in the distribution, to holders of Disputed Claims when such Claims become allowed as provided in the Plan. D. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ALLOWANCE Payments and distributions to each holder of a Disputed Claim or any other Claim that is not an Allowed Claim, to the extent that such Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, including the provision governing the Class of Claims in which such Claim is classified. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or any other Claim that is not an Allowed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to the holder of such Claim any Cash or New Globalstar Class A Common Stock (as applicable) that would have been distributed to such holder if the Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date. In the case of a holder of a Disputed Claim entitled to receive New Globalstar Class A Common Stock that becomes an Allowed Claim, such distribution shall include a payment in Cash equal to any accrued dividends or other distributions (in each case, net of applicable taxes, if any, payable by GCC in respect thereof) with respect to the shares held in the Disputed Claims Reserve on account of such holder's Claim. 23 ARTICLE VIII SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION OF THE DEBTORS Pursuant to the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall approve the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for the purpose of implementing the Plan, including for purposes of voting, Confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan. Pursuant to such order: (A) all assets and liabilities of Debtors will be deemed merged; (B) all Secondary Liability Claims will be deemed eliminated so that any Claim against any Debtor and any Secondary Liability Claims related thereto will be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors; and (C) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Case of any of the Debtors will be deemed filed against the consolidated Debtors and will be deemed one Claim against and a single obligation of the consolidated Debtors. ARTICLE IX CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN A.

If the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to this Section IX.D: (1) the Plan will be null and void in all respects, including with respect to: (a) the rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to Article V; and (b) the substantive consolidation of the Debtors; and (2) nothing contained in the Plan will: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interest in, the Debtors; or (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other party in interest. ARTICLE X CRAMDOWN The Debtors request Confirmation under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any impaired Class that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification. With respect to Class 9, which is deemed to reject the Plan, the Debtors shall utilize the provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to satisfy the requirements for confirmation of the Plan over the presumed rejections of such Classes and the rejection, if any, of any other Class entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

CONSENT TO INJUNCTIONS By accepting distributions pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this Section XI.E. 5. INDEMNITY Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit or in any manner limit the right or ability of any of the Debtors' officers, directors and members of the General Partners' Committee to enforce his, her, their or its rights against the insurer under any and all applicable policies of insurance (whether such policies were arranged and paid for by the Debtors or by any Entity or otherwise) and any and all such rights shall be and hereby are expressly preserved (i) to the extent of available insurance coverage and (ii) for purposes of defense and offset against any claims asserted against such officers, directors and members of the General Partners Committee; provided, however, that such directors, officers and members of the General Partners Committee shall have no right to any affirmative recovery from the Debtors on account of indemnification claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date of the Plan. F. TERMINATION OF SUBORDINATION RIGHTS AND SETTLEMENT OF RELATED CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES 1.

All subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan will be discharged and terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be permanently enjoined. Accordingly, distributions pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims will not be subject to payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights or to levy, garnishment, attachment or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights. 2. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims or controversies relating to the subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court's 27 approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court's finding that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors and their respective property and Claim and Interest holders and is fair, equitable and reasonable. ARTICLE XII RETENTION OF JURISDICTION Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court will retain such jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases after the Effective Date as is legally permissible, including jurisdiction to: 1. Allow, disallow, determine, liquidate, classify, estimate or establish the priority or secured or unsecured status of any Claim or Interest, including the resolution of any request for payment of any Administrative Claim; the resolution of any objections to the allowance, priority or classification of Claims or Interests; the resolution, and distributions from the Disputed Claims Reserve to holders, of Disputed Claims; and the approval of the Indenture Trustee's fees and expenses pursuant to Section III.A; 2.

Ensure that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims are accomplished pursuant to the provisions of the Plan; 5. Decide or resolve any motions, adversary proceedings, contested or litigated matters and any other matters, including the Causes of Actions and Recovery Actions to the extent not released hereunder, and grant or deny any applications involving the Debtors that may be pending on the Effective Date or brought thereafter; 6.

Issue injunctions, enforce the injunctions and releases contained in the Plan and the Confirmation Order, enter and implement other orders or take such other actions as may be necessary or 28 appropriate to restrain interference by any Entity with consummation, implementation or enforcement of the Plan or the Confirmation Order; 10. Enter and implement such orders as are necessary or appropriate if the Confirmation Order is for any reason or in any respect modified, stayed, reversed, revoked or vacated or distributions pursuant to the Plan are enjoined or stayed; 11.

To hear and determine all applications for award of compensation for services rendered by Professionals and reimbursement of such Professional's expenses relating to such services rendered and to resolve disputes relating to the payment by the Debtors of compensation for services rendered by Professionals and reimbursement of such Professional's expenses for post-Confirmation Date periods; 14.

The Creditors Committee will continue to exist after such date solely with respect to (a) applications filed pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code seeking payment of fees and expenses incurred by any professional, including objections and appeals therefrom, (b) any post-confirmation modifications to, or motions seeking the enforcement of, the Plan or the Confirmation Order and (c) any matters pending as of the Effective Date in the Chapter 11 Cases, until such matters are finally resolved. B. EXCULPATION 1. None of the Debtors, their officers, members of the General Partners' Committee, the members of the Creditors Committee, or ICO, or the Representatives of any of the foregoing in such capacity, shall have or incur any liability to any Entity whatsoever, including any holder of any Claim (whether or not allowed) or Interests, or any Entity participating in exchanges and distributions under or pursuant to the Plan, for any act or omission in connection with, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination or confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan or the administration of the Plan, the Disputed Claims Reserve, or property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan, or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into, pursuant to or in connection with the Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing 29 provisions of this Section XIII.B will have no effect on: (i) the liability of any Entity that would otherwise result from the failure to perform or pay any obligation or liability under the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document to be entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan; or (ii) the liability of any Entity that would otherwise result from any such act or omission to the extent that such act or omission is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. 2. In addition to the foregoing (and notwithstanding the proviso in Section XIII.B.1), the directors and officers of GCC serving after the Effective Date shall incur no personal liability to any Entity for any act or omission in connection with, or arising out of, their administration of the Plan, or the Disputed Claims Reserve, or any other act or omission in connection with the operation of GCC as set forth in Section IV.A.2.a; provided, that, such directors and officers may be found to be liable for acts or omissions resulting from gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over any action or proceeding commenced against the directors and officers of GCC serving from and after the Effective Date in connection with, arising out of, or related to their service as directors and officers of GCC from and after the Effective Date. C. MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, upon not less than ten days' prior written notice to the Creditors Committee, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend or modify the Plan before its substantial consummation; provided that no alteration, amendment or modification of the Plan that may have a material adverse effect on the rights of the unsecured creditors or that reflects a change in the financial aspects of the transaction contemplated hereby may occur without the written consent of the Creditors Committee until the Creditors Committee is dissolved in accordance with Article XIII.A. hereof. D. REVOCATION OF THE PLAN The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors, or if Confirmation as to any or all of the Debtors does not occur, then, with respect to such Debtors, the Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan will: (1) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtors or (2) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtors or any other party. E. SEVERABILITY OF PLAN PROVISIONS If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision then will be applicable as altered or interpreted; provided that any such alteration or interpretation must be in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and the Creditors Committee. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms. F. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS The rights, benefits and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such Entity, including New Globalstar. 30 G.

Pursuant to, and to the fullest extent permitted under, section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the resale of any security referenced in Section XIII.G.2 of the Plan will be exempt from section 5 of the Securities Act and any state or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security or registration or licensing of an issuer or underwriter of, or broker or dealer in, a security.
