Executive Change of Control Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2006



 Exhibit 10.67 
 EXECUTIVE CHANGE OF CONTROL 
 AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT dated as of January 27, 2006 is made by and between Mobile Satellite Ventures LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Company”), and Scott Macleod (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential and in its best interests
and in the best interests of its equity owners to foster the continuous employment of certain key management personnel, including the Executive; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 8.5 hereof) exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among
management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its equity owners; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties
without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement. 
 2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and shall remain in effect indefinitely thereafter; provided,
however, that (a) except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2, either the Company or the Executive may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party at least one (1) year advance written notice of such termination,
and (b) if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be terminated until all obligations of either party hereto have been performed in full and the Coverage Period has expired without the
occurrence of a Triggering Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate upon the Executive’s attaining age sixty-five (65), the Executive’s Disability or death, except as to obligations of the Company hereunder
arising from a Change in Control and a Triggering Event that occurred prior to his having reached such age or prior to the occurrence of his Disability or death. 







 3. Agreement of the Company. In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company, the Company agrees, under the terms and conditions set forth herein, that, upon the occurrence of both a Change in Control and a Triggering Event during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to the Executive the benefits
described in Sections 3.1 through 3.3 below (the “Severance Benefits”), unless prior to the date of any Triggering Event, the Executive’s employment with the Company has been terminated by the Executive for other than Good Reason or
by the Company for Cause or due to the Executive’s Disability or death. 
 3.1 Lump-Sum Severance Payment. In lieu of any further
salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, without discount, equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary
and (ii) the Executive’s Average Bonus. 
 3.2 Vesting of Options. The vesting of all options to purchase securities of the
Company granted to the Executive pursuant to the Company’s 2001 Unit Incentive Plan, as adopted by the Company on December 17, 2001, and as amended, or any other Company plan that are then held by the Executive shall be accelerated to the
Date of Termination and shall continue to be exercisable for a two-year period after such acceleration; any provision contained in the agreement(s) under which such options were granted that is inconsistent with the foregoing is hereby modified to
the extent necessary to provide for such acceleration; such acceleration shall not apply to any option that by its terms would vest prior to the date provided for in this Section 3.2. 
 3.3 Continued Benefits. For a twelve (12) month period (or, if less, the number of months from the Date of Termination until the date the
Executive will reach age sixty-five (65)) after the Date of Termination (the “Benefits Period”), the Company shall provide the Executive with group term life insurance, health insurance, accident and long-term disability insurance
benefits (collectively, “Welfare Benefits”) substantially similar in all respects to those that the Executive was receiving immediately prior to the Date of Termination (without giving effect to any reduction in such benefits subsequent to
a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control). During the Benefits Period, the Executive shall be entitled to elect to change his or her level of coverage and/or his or her choice of coverage options (such as Executive only or family medical
coverage) with respect to the Welfare Benefits to be provided by the Company to the Executive to the same extent that actively employed senior executives of the Company are permitted to make such changes; provided, however, that in the event of any
such changes the Executive shall pay the amount of any cost increase that would actually be paid by an actively employed senior executive of the Company by reason of making the same changes in his or her level of coverage or coverage options.

 3.4 Terminations in Anticipation of Change in Control. The Executive shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits under
Section 3 hereof if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control and such termination of employment (a) was at the request of a third party which has taken steps reasonably
calculated to 








 
effect a Change in Control or (b) otherwise arose in anticipation of a Change in Control, in each case as determined by the Board or the Compensation
Committee of the Company and/or its general partner. The Executive shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits under Section 3 hereof if the Executive terminates his or her employment prior to a Change in Control if at the time of such
termination a circumstance or event which would constitute Good Reason after a Change in Control has occurred (a) at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (b) in
anticipation of a Change in Control, in each case as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Company and/or its general partner. 
 4. Certain Limitations on Payments and Benefits. The Severance Benefits payable under Section 3.1 hereof shall be reduced by the amount of any other payment or the value of any benefit received or to be
received by the Executive that, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) selected by the Executive and acceptable to the Company’s independent auditors, is likely to constitute a “parachute payment” under section
280G(b)(2) of the Code (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company or any subsidiary, any person whose actions result in a Change in Control, or any person affiliated with the Company
or such person) unless (A) the Executive shall have effectively waived his receipt or enjoyment of such payment or benefit prior to the date of payment of such Severance Benefits, (B) or in the opinion of Tax Counsel, the Severance
Benefits (in their full amount or as partially reduced under this Section 4, as the case may be) plus all other payments or benefits that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280(b)(2) of the Code are likely
to be reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4) of the Code or are otherwise not likely to be subject to disallowance as a deduction by reason of section 280G of the Code. The value of any
noncash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. 
 5. Timing of Payments. The payment provided for in Section 3.1 hereof shall be made on the Date of Termination, provided, however, that if
the amounts of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payment and shall pay the
remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code from the Date of Termination to the payment of such remainder) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later
than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payment exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive,
payable on the fifth (5th) business day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code from the Date of Termination to the repayment of such excess). 







 6. Termination Procedures. 
 6.1 Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control, any termination of the Executive’s employment (other than by reason of death) must be
preceded by a written Notice of Termination from the terminating party to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall
(i) specify the date of termination (the “Date of Termination”) which shall not be more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given, (ii) indicate the notifying party’s opinion regarding the
specific provisions of this Agreement that will apply upon such termination and (iii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for the application of the provisions indicated. Termination of the
Executive’s employment shall occur on the specified Date of Termination even if there is a dispute between the parties pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof relating to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such termination. 

6.2 Dispute Concerning Applicable Termination Provisions. If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Notice of Termination the party
receiving such notice notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the provisions of this Agreement that apply to such termination, the dispute shall be resolved either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by expedited
commercial arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 7.14 herein. The parties shall pursue the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. Within five
(5) days of such a resolution, any party owing any payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall make all such payments together with interest accrued thereon at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.

 7. Miscellaneous. 
 7.1
No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated in a manner that results in the payment of Severance Benefits hereunder, the Executive shall not be required to seek other employment or
to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise. 
 7.2 Successors. In a transaction constituting a Change of Control or if the Board otherwise determines to reorganize the Company, in addition to
any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company shall be obligated to require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, or, in the 








 
alternative, shall otherwise adequately provide for performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder in the judgment of the Board or the Compensation
Committee of the Company and/or its general partner. 
 7.3 Incompetency. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of the Executive,
if legally incompetent, or incapable of giving a receipt therefor, shall be deemed paid when paid to the Executive’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully
discharge the Company. 
 7.4 Death. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms,
terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or
administrators of the Executive’s estate. 
 7.5 Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth

Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; 
 (b) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or
gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company;

 For purposes of the preceding clauses, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive,
shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure
to act, based upon prior approval given by the Board or upon the instructions or with the approval of the Executive’s superior or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive, as part of the Notice
of Termination, a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters ( 3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity,

transaction) of securities of the Partnership representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Partnership’s then outstanding securities, other than in place as of the date hereof;

in which the Partnership is not the surviving entity, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership to another person or entity;

power of all classes of securities/interests of the Partnership; or 
 (d) individuals who at the beginning of any two-year period
constitute the Board, plus new directors of the Partnership whose election or nomination for election by the Partnership’s Members is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Partnership still in office who were
directors of the Partnership at the beginning of such two-year period, cease for any reason during such two-year period to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the Board.

privileges or other rights to be accorded by the “Company” shall be deemed to include such payments, benefits, privileges or other rights to be provided by the Subsidiary by which the Executive is employed or Mobile Satellite Ventures LP,
as the case may be, to correspond to the corporate entity obligated to make payments or provide benefits, privileges or other rights pursuant to employee benefit plans affected by the provisions hereof, and in the absence of any such existing plans
or provisions, such reference shall be deemed to be to Mobile Satellite Ventures LP.

authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or (b) to continue the Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of
benefits provided and the level of the Executive’s participation relative to other participants, than existed immediately prior to a Change in Control;
