                                CONSENT AGREEMENT

     WHEREAS, the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Bureau of Political Military
Affairs, U.S. Department of State ("Department") has notified Space
Systems/Loral, Inc., ("SS/L") of its intent to institute an administrative
proceeding pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act ("Act") (22 U.S.C. Section
2778(e)) and its implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations ("Regulations") (22 C.F.R. Section 120-130), based on allegations
that SS/L violated Section 38 of the Act and Section 127 of the Regulations as
set forth in a draft Charging Letter attached hereto and incorporated by
reference, herein, by violating the express terms and conditions of Department
of State munitions licenses and by exporting defense services without a
munitions license or other authorization to the People's Republic of China
("PRC").

     WHEREAS, the principal vehicle for the violations alleged in the draft
Charging Letter was a group of prominent scientists and engineers from the
United States and Europe known as the Independent Review Committee ("IRC"),
organized and chaired by SS/L and its officers and employees under the aegis,
and at the

<PAGE>

                                      -2-

behest, of China Aerospace Corporation ("CASC"), which is discussed
in the draft Charging Letter;

     WHEREAS, SS/L and Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. ("Loral"), SS/L's
parent corporation, have reviewed the draft Charging Letter and this Consent
Agreement, fully understand these documents and enter into this Agreement
voluntarily and with full knowledge of their rights;

     WHEREAS, SS/L and Loral wish to settle and dispose of all civil charges,
penalties and sanctions associated with alleged violations of Section 38 of the
Act or the Regulations arising from facts which Loral or SS/L have disclosed in
writing to the Department or that have been identified in the draft Charging
Letter by entering into this Consent Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Department, SS/L and Loral agree to be bound by this Agreement
and a related administrative order ("Order") (attached) to be entered by the
Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs.

     Now, WHEREFORE, the Department, SS/L and Loral agree as follows:

Parties
-------

(1) The Parties to this Agreement are the Department, Loral and its wholly owned
subsidiary SS/L. The term "SS/L" includes Space Systems/Loral, Inc., its wholly
owned subsidiaries, including in particular its business units engaged in the
manufacture and/or export of defense articles and defense services related to
space systems, launch vehicles, electronics and other articles controlled on the
U.S. Munitions list, its operating divisions, subsidiaries, assignees and
successors.

Jurisdiction
------------

(2) The Department has jurisdiction over Loral and SS/L under the Act and the
Regulations in connection with the matters identified in the draft Charging
Letter.

Defense Services and Foreign Defense Articles
---------------------------------------------

(3) SS/L and Loral acknowledge and accept that the definition of "defense
services" in the Regulations is well established and clearly understood by SS/L
and Loral as setting out


<PAGE>
                                      -3-

responsibilities and requirements which are binding as a matter of law and
regulation on them; the furnishing of "defense services" to foreign persons --
regardless of whether the underlying defense article(s) is of U.S. or foreign
origin -- is appropriately subjected to control under the Regulations by the
Department even when no technical data is involved (e.g., all the information
relied upon in furnishing defense services to a foreign government or foreign
person is in the public domain); and, the law and regulations governing "defense
services" and proposals to foreign persons are sufficiently clear and specific
as to be enforceable by the U.S. Government on criminal and civil grounds and
they, SS/L and Loral, are responsible and obligated as a matter of law and
regulation to comply with the requirements of such laws and regulations as they
pertain to "defense services" and related matters.

Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)
----------------------------------------

(4) SS/L and Loral acknowledge and accept that unauthorized defense services and
other conduct and actions by U.S. persons which help promote the development of
MTCR Category I and Category II systems contrary to the security and the foreign
policy of the United States, including U.S. Government obligations under the
MTCR, are serious matters, which may be subject to sanctions in circumstances
specified in Section 72 of the Arms Export Control Act.

Penalty
-------

(5) SS/L and Loral agree that SS/L shall pay in fines and in remedial compliance
measures a civil penalty of $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars), comprised of
the amounts stipulated in subparagraphs (a) and (b), in complete settlement of
alleged civil violations pursuant to Section 38 of the Act as set forth in the
Department's draft Charging Letter. This civil penalty shall be payable as
follows:

         (a) $2,200,000 (two million two hundred thousand dollars) shall be paid
         to the Department of State within 10 days of signing of the Order and
         $11,800,000 (eleven million eight hundred thousand dollars) shall be
         paid in equal installments of $1,685,714 (one million six hundred
         eighty-five thousand seven hundred fourteen dollars) payable on the
         first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh anniversary of
         the signing of the Order. Loral and SS/L agree that the effect of any
         statutory limitation to the


<PAGE>

                                      -4-

         collection of the civil penalty imposed by this Agreement shall be
         tolled until the last payment is made.

         (b) An additional civil penalty of $6,000,000 (six million) is hereby
         assessed, but its payment shall be suspended on the condition that
         Loral and SS/L will apply this amount over a seven year period for the
         purpose of defraying a portion of the costs associated with the
         remedial compliance specified herein and in an agreed "schedule of
         compliance measures" attached hereto, including the costs associated
         with the Special Compliance Official and with implementation of that
         Official's recommendations. Two million dollars ($2,000,000) which has
         already been invested in strengthened compliance measures that have
         been identified separately by Loral to the Department shall be counted
         towards the $6,000,000 total. Loral and SS/L will provide annually to
         the Department on the anniversary of the date of the Order written
         accounting(s) of the expenditures associated with this additional
         penalty in accordance with paragraph (8), and failure to use these
         funds appropriately for this purpose or to provide a satisfactory
         accounting shall result in a lifting of the suspension, in which case
         Loral and SS/L shall be required to pay this amount to the Department
         of State immediately.

Debarment
---------

(6) The offenses alleged in the draft charging letter relate to SS/L's regulated
activities with respect to the PRC (and not to other countries), and concerns
about SS/L's reliability in this area, contributed to the reasons that the
Department has not permitted SS/L to export items on the USML to the PRC since
December 23, 1998, when it imposed a partial suspension of SS/L's CHINASAT-8
technical assistance agreement (No. 610-97) with respect to Missile Technology
Control Regime Annex items. However, the Department has now determined that a
prospective debarment of SS/L is not appropriate at this time in view of SS/L's
and Loral's remorse for participating in the IRC and for the consequences of
that action, their acknowledgement of the seriousness of the alleged offenses,
their desire to make amends, and their agreement to significant remedial
actions, including efforts to improve SS/L's corporate compliance program as
specified herein. The Department reserves the right to consider imposing
additional sanctions, including debarment, in the event that SS/L for any reason
does not fulfill the


<PAGE>

                                      -5-

provisions of this Consent Agreement or is responsible for other compliance or
law enforcement concerns under the Act or other statutes specified in 22 C.F.R.
ss. 120.27.

Appointment of a Special Compliance Official
--------------------------------------------

(7) The President and Chief Operating Officer of Loral shall appoint an
individual from outside the corporation to serve as a Special Compliance
Official for an initial term of two years, to be succeeded by an individual from
inside the corporation who will serve for an additional two years, in both
instances reporting to the senior management of Loral, its Board of Directors
and the Office of Defense Trade Controls (ODTC). The outside Special Compliance
Official shall not have been employed in any prior capacity nor previously
represented Loral, or any of its subsidiaries, including SS/L, and shall agree
to forsake for all time as a condition of this appointment any such future
employment or representation. The appointment shall be made within thirty (30)
days of the signing of this Agreement and accompanying Order and, unless agreed
to prior to, or at the time of, settlement, the appointment shall be subject to
the written approval of the Director, ODTC. The Special Compliance Official
shall have three principal areas of responsibility regarding the future conduct
of SS/L: (a) strengthening of SS/L's export compliance program with specific
attention relating to those areas associated with the offenses alleged in the
draft charging letter and to improved written policies and procedures for
regulated activities carried out by SS/L; (b) ensuring that SS/L performs its
responsibilities in a timely and fully satisfactory manner as required by this
Agreement and the accompanying Order; and (c) overseeing all activities by SS/L
subject to the Regulations during the period covered by this Agreement (i.e.,
four years, unless otherwise expressly provided for) insofar as those activities
concern foreign persons (including foreign governments and foreign
non-governmental entities without limitation) from the PRC (including Hong Kong)
and the countries which comprised the former Soviet Union (but not including the
Sea Launch program, in which The Boeing Company participates). For the duration
of this agreement, except as otherwise agreed, SS/L will be the exclusive
provider and representative, on behalf of Loral and all of its business units
and subsidiaries (including, as well, all consultants, representatives and other
persons acting at their behest or in their interests) of all AECA and ITAR
regulated exports and activities with the countries enumerated in subparagraph
(c). With respect to the third area, (c), the Special Compliance


<PAGE>

                                      -6-

Official shall be kept fully informed by SS/L and actively engaged in overseeing
all activities related to compliance with the Regulations, the Act and the
specific terms and conditions of any pertinent licenses, with complete access to
all relevant personnel and documents. With respect to its non-SS/L business
operations, Loral also acknowledges and accepts its obligation to ensure that
those operations have and maintain effective and appropriate export control
procedures, and also to ensure appropriate coordination between the Loral
General Counsel's office and the Special Compliance Official such that its
non-SS/L business operations may benefit from enhanced compliance measures
introduced at SS/L. In fulfilling the responsibilities set forth in this Consent
Agreement, the Special Compliance Official may at his/her sole discretion
present any disagreement with SS/L management directly to the President and
Chief Operating Officer of Loral and/or the Loral Board or the Director, ODTC,
or to all three. The Board of Directors of Loral shall consent to the following
terms and conditions regarding the power, duties, authorities, and
responsibilities of the Special Compliance Official:

         A) The Special Compliance Official shall have the power and authority
         to monitor SS/L's compliance with the terms of this Consent Agreement
         and accompanying Order and shall exercise such power and authority and
         carry out the duties and responsibilities of the Special Compliance
         Official as set forth herein in a manner consistent with the purposes
         of this Consent Agreement, the accompanying Order, the specific terms
         and conditions of munitions license applications and other
         authorizations falling within the parameters of clause (c), above,
         provided to SS/L by the Department of State, and in consultation with
         the Office of Defense Trade Controls.

         B) Within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the Special
         Compliance Official, Loral and SS/L shall confer on this individual all
         the rights and powers necessary to permit the Special Compliance
         Official to monitor, oversee and promote SS/L's compliance with the
         terms of this Agreement in a manner consistent with the purposes of the
         Agreement and the Order, and the specific terms and conditions of
         pertinent (i.e., covered by clause (c) above) munitions license
         authorizations and other activities subject to the Regulations and the
         Act. Such rights and powers shall be conferred in writing; shall be
         made known throughout SS/L and Loral; and a certified copy shall be



<PAGE>

                                      -7-

         deposited by the forty-sixth (46) day of the signing of the Order with
         ODTC.

         C) The Outside Special Compliance Official shall serve for a two (2)
         year period from the date of the signing of the Order. If for any
         reason the appointed Special Compliance Official is unable to serve the
         full period of his/her appointment, the President and Chief Operating
         Officer of Loral may recommend a successor not unacceptable to the
         Director, ODTC, whose agreement to the replacement will be provided in
         writing. Such a recommendation shall be made at least thirty (30) days
         in advance of a new appointment. If the Special Compliance Official is
         for any reason unable to carry out the responsibilities described
         herein on a temporary basis (i.e., not to exceed thirty (30) days),
         then Loral's General Counsel shall assume the power and authority of
         Special Compliance Official in the interim. The conferring of rights
         and powers described in paragraph B), above, shall make provision for
         this event. Within eighteen months of appointment, the Special
         Compliance Official, after consultation with the President and Chief
         Operating Officer of Loral, shall recommend a successor Special
         Compliance Official not unacceptable to Loral and the Director, ODTC,
         who shall serve for the remaining two (2) year period. This successor
         Special Compliance Official shall be an employee of Loral or SS/L, who
         is fully capable of performing the responsibilities of the Special
         Compliance Official.

         D) The Special Compliance Official shall have full and complete access
         to SS/L's personnel, books, records, documents, facilities and
         technical information relating to compliance with this Consent
         Agreement, Order and pertinent (i.e., covered by clause (c) above)
         munitions authorizations, licenses, guidance and the like relating to
         the export of defense articles and defense services associated with
         SS/L's programs.

         E) SS/L and Loral shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the
         Special Compliance Official, including any request for assistance to
         obtain any necessary security clearances, and shall take no action to
         interfere with or impede the Special Compliance Official's ability to
         monitor SS/L's compliance with this Agreement, the Act and the
         Regulations or to carry out his/her other responsibilities set forth in
         this Agreement.


<PAGE>

                                      -8-

         F) The Special Compliance Official with Loral's consent, which shall
         not be unreasonably withheld, shall have authority to employ, at the
         expense of SS/L and/or Loral, such assistants and other professional
         staff as are reasonably necessary to carry out the Special Compliance
         Official's duties and responsibilities. Such expenses, including the
         salaries and expenses of the Special Compliance Official, may be paid
         for from the additional suspended penalty of $6,000,000 (six million
         dollars) described in paragraph 5(b) of this Agreement.

         G) ODTC may, on its own initiative or at the request of the Special
         Compliance Official, issue such additional guidance as may be necessary
         or appropriate to ensure compliance with the Regulations and the terms
         and conditions of authorizations it (ODTC) has provided to SS/L.

         H) The Special Compliance Official shall report to the President of
         Loral and, on a day-to-day basis, to the Loral General Counsel, and
         shall also make periodic reports to the Loral Board of Directors, as
         well as to the Director, ODTC concerning SS/L's compliance with this
         Agreement and Order, as well as with such other pertinent (i.e.,
         covered by clause (c)) U.S. Government munitions authorizations,
         licenses, guidance and the like then in force pertaining to SS/L's ITAR
         regulated activities. These reports shall include conclusions and any
         recommendations necessary to ensure strict compliance; state whether
         the Special Compliance Official has encountered any difficulties in
         executing duties and responsibilities assigned herein; describe any and
         all instances of non-compliance; and advise on progress in implementing
         previous recommendations advanced by the Special Compliance Official
         and be provided:

             o   Every sixty (60) days for a period of six months from the date
                 of the signing of the Order; and

             o   Semi-annually thereafter during the remainder of the Special
                 Compliance Official's period of appointment.

         On-site Audits
         --------------

         (8) For the purpose of assessing compliance with the provisions of the
         Act, the Regulations and future munitions licenses and other
         authorizations, SS/L agrees to arrange and facilitate, with minimum
         advance notice, on-site audits of its business units, wherever
         situated, by the Department during the four year period commencing on
         the signing of the Order.

         Understandings
         --------------

         (9) No agreement, understanding, representation or interpretation not
         contained in this Agreement may be used to vary or otherwise affect the
         terms of this Agreement or the Order, when entered, nor shall this
         Agreement serve to bind, constrain, or otherwise limit any action by
         any other agency or department of the United States Government with
         respect to the facts and circumstances addressed herein. Specifically,
         Loral and SS/L acknowledge and accept that there is no understanding
         expressed or implied through this Agreement with respect to a final
         decision by the Department of State concerning their interest in the
         approval of export licenses or other U.S. Government authorizations
         necessary to export the CHINASAT-8 or APSTAR V Spacecraft (or with
         respect to any other matters involving past, pending or future
         munitions license applications). The Department agrees, assuming
         Loral's and SS/L's faithful adherence to the terms of this Agreement,
         and the Act and the Regulations more broadly, that decisions concerning
         export licenses for the CHINASAT-8 and APSTAR V spacecraft will be made
         on the basis of the security and foreign policy interests of the United
         States, including matters relating to U.S. relations with the People's
         Republic of China, without reference to the Department's previously
         expressed concerns regarding SS/L's reliability, which concerns are
         considered to be appropriately mitigated through the operation of
         various provisions of this Agreement.

         (10) The Department, SS/L and Loral agree that this Agreement is for
         settlement purposes only. For purposes of this Agreement, SS/L and
         Loral neither admit nor deny the allegations in the draft Charging
         Letter (including without limitation those set forth in the "Relevant
         Facts" and "Charges" section of that letter). That said, SS/L and


<PAGE>

                                      -10-

         Loral acknowledge the nature and seriousness of the offenses alleged by
         the Department in the draft charging letter, including the risk of harm
         to the security and foreign policy interests of the United States, and
         wish to make amends through the payment of restitution, as set forth in
         this Agreement, and also through an effective corporate compliance
         program that will prevent any future actions such as those addressed in
         the draft charging letter. If this Consent Agreement is not approved
         pursuant to an Order entered into by the Assistant Secretary for
         Political Military Affairs, the Department, SS/L and Loral agree that
         they may not use this Agreement in any administrative or judicial
         proceeding and that none of the parties shall be bound by the
         settlement terms contained in this Agreement in any subsequent
         administrative or judicial proceeding.

         (11) The Department agrees that, upon signing of the Order and entry
         into force of this Agreement, this Agreement resolves with respect to
         Loral and SS/L any civil penalties or sanctions imposed with respect to
         violations of Section 38 of the Act or the Regulations alleged in the
         draft Charging Letter or arising from facts that Loral and SS/L have
         disclosed in writing to the Department or that have been identified in
         the draft Charging Letter.

         Waiver
         ------

         (12) Loral and SS/L agree that, upon signing of the Order and entry
         into force of this Consent Agreement, they waive all rights to seek
         administrative or judicial consideration or review of, or to otherwise
         contest, the validity of this Consent Agreement, the Order or this
         matter, including in any action that may be brought for the enforcement
         of any civil fine, penalty or forfeiture in connection with this
         Consent Agreement, except that neither Loral nor SS/L waives the
         aforesaid rights with regard to any alleged violations of this
         Agreement.

         Documents to be Made Public
         ---------------------------

         (13) Loral and SS/L understand that the Department will make this
         Agreement, including the Schedule of Compliance Measures, the draft
         Charging Letter and the Order, when entered, available to the public.


<PAGE>

                                      -11-

         (14) This Consent Agreement shall become binding on the Department only
         when the Assistant Secretary for Political Military Affairs approves it
         by entering the Order, which will have the same force and effect as a
         decision and Order after a full administrative hearing on the record.

                         Schedule of Compliance Measures

Loral and SS/L, reflecting their commitment to conduct space and missile-related
programs in full compliance with the Arms Export Control Act (the "Act") and the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (the "Regulations"), and in order to
ensure, in particular, that there is no unauthorized technical assistance
whatsoever to any foreign person, including any of its foreign partners, and, in
particular, any assistance that would assist in the design, development or
enhancement of foreign space launch vehicles, missiles or facilities, agree to
implement the following remedial measures and such additional measures as may be
mutually agreed upon by Loral, the Special Compliance Official and the Director,
ODTC, and agree further that these measures will be honored for a four year
period, unless otherwise noted, as part of the Consent Agreement entered into
with the Department of State:

Strengthened Compliance Training:
---------------------------------

         1.       Within 120 days of the signing of the Order, SS/L will have
                  instituted strengthened corporate export compliance procedures
                  focused principally on SS/L's business operations such that:
                  (a) all SS/L employees of business units engaged in space or
                  missile-related activities are familiar with the Act, the
                  Regulations, and their own and SS/L's responsibilities,
                  thereunder; (b) all officers and employees at the corporate
                  level in these business units are knowledgeable about the
                  underlying policies and principles of the Act and the
                  Regulations; and (c) there are careful records indicating the
                  names of employees, trainers, and level and area of training
                  received (e.g., use of public domain information in performing
                  defense services, applicability of ITAR to foreign-origin
                  defense articles, etc).

Computer Control System and USG Remote Monitoring:
--------------------------------------------------

          2.      Within 120 days of the signing of the Order, SS/L will have
                  instituted a comprehensive computerized document control
                  system that ensures prior U.S. Government

                   review of all documents which require such review pursuant to
                   the terms and conditions of licenses and other approvals
                   provided by the Department (ODTC) to SS/L concerning its
                   space and missile-related activities. This system will cover
                   all technical data and technical assistance in any form to
                   all foreign persons and will be accessible for a period of
                   four years by remote computer access to ODTC, DTRA, the
                   Special Compliance Official and Loral's General Counsel's
                   Office. SS/L will archive all releases, indexed to reflect
                   the details of specific U.S. Government approvals, every 90
                   days, and provide copies in CD-ROM form to ODTC, DoD/DTSA and
                   the Special Compliance Official. SS/L understands that ODTC
                   may, at its sole discretion, not authorize use of exemptions
                   for shipments of unclassified technical data in furtherance
                   of a technical assistance agreement pending the institution
                   of this system, as stated in the Federal Register, Vol. 64,
                   No. 54, on March 22, 1999.

Law Department Oversight:
-------------------------

          3.       Within 120 days of the signing of the Order, Loral will
                   establish measures such that the General Counsel's office of
                   Loral will provide oversight and support to all Loral
                   divisions involved in space and missile-related export
                   activities for all matters involving the Act and the
                   Regulations. This oversight will also be structured to
                   achieve consistent application of the Act and the Regulations
                   by all Loral divisions. Toward this end, the Loral General
                   Counsel's office shall consider and implement, where
                   appropriate, those improvements in SS/L's compliance program
                   recommended by the Special Compliance Official, which have
                   applicability to other Loral divisions. In addition, the
                   General Counsel's office of Loral shall take action such that
                   in each Loral division appropriate legal support is made
                   available as necessary to the principal personnel responsible
                   for compliance with the Act and the Regulations and
                   appropriate legal oversight is performed in each division
                   with respect to such matters. In addition to other reporting
                   responsibilities, Loral divisional legal staff providing
                   support regarding the Act and the Regulations shall regularly
                   report to the Loral

                   General Counsel with respect to such matters. The Special
                   Compliance Official and the General Counsel's office will
                   have appropriate, documented input in performance reviews of
                   the principal personnel responsible for compliance with the
                   Act and the Regulations.

Hotline for AECA and ITAR:
--------------------------

          4.       Within 120 days of the signing of the Order, SS/L will have
                   instituted a hotline system to ensure that violations of the
                   AECA and ITAR may be readily reported via this channel,
                   without fear of recrimination or retaliation. Hotline calls
                   will be directed to the Special Compliance Official who will
                   be responsible for responding to such calls. The Special
                   Compliance Official shall prepare a quarterly report
                   assessing the effectiveness of the hotline system. A copy of
                   this report shall be provided to Loral's General Counsel and
                   to the Director, ODTC. This written report will be in
                   sufficient detail such that the Department may, consistent
                   with its responsibilities under law and regulation, form an
                   opinion about the seriousness of the alleged violations,
                   without disclosing employee confidentiality.

Audit:
------

          5.       No later than eighteen months after the signing of the Order,
                   Loral and SS/L, in coordination with the Special Compliance
                   Official, will conduct a thorough assessment of SS/L's
                   implementation of all measures set forth in paragraphs 1-4
                   above, and such other areas as may be identified by the
                   Special Compliance Official, with a draft audit plan to be
                   submitted for the Department's (ODTC) review and comments
                   prior to the start of the audit and, thereafter, a written
                   report containing recommendations for improvements with
                   respect to the aforesaid measures or compliance with the Act
                   or the Regulations more generally, to be submitted to the
                   Loral General Counsel, the Special Compliance Official and to
                   the Director, ODTC no later than the second anniversary of
                   the signing of the Order.
